Does anyone know of any good FX presets that just removes the sepia filter? What I can find online like that RekindledFX shit also seems to do a bunch of other nonsense like fucking with contrast or color levels or adding CA, but all I want is the sepia filter gone.

What are the equip load breakpoints in Dark Souls 3?

0-30% for fast roll and the most i-frames for your roll, 30-50% for the fast roll and less i-frames than <30 tier, over 70 for fat roll. You can still fast roll if you are in the 60s, with fewer i-frames.

Edit- multiple people posted this info before, so I am going to go with this until proven otherwise.
 
some dialogue spoilers for mid-end game firekeeper

She asked me if I knew anything about ludleth and her? Something about him knowing something about her being but not telling her.

Any idea what that was? Couldn't find a way to answer it ingame at all.

Dark Souls noob here. Do you guys recommend boosting health first before damage?
Click to expand...

I would. When it comes to increasing damage, it's better to upgrade your weapon rather than put points into STR/DEX. Of course, don't ignore them completely, and when you get a weapon with high scaling you'll get bigger boosts off each level. It's just that upgrading the weapon usually has a more substantial jump in damage.
 
I'm in irythil dungeon and not sure how to proceed... I see a locked door. Not sure how to get to the ground level below.

Do I need a key for elsewhere or is it in here ?
 
Wow, those
Dancer enemies
are tough as shit. I can bum rush some of them and stunlock-kill them, but if you hesitate and they start the chain of attacks, you are almost as good as dead. It's almost impossible to run away once they get going. The shield ones are a pain in the ass. You can't really stunlock them. Dodging them is tricky- you have to stagger your jumps a little bit because their arcs will hit you if you aren't in the exact moment of i-frame.
 
I finally killed (optional boss)
Old Demon King.
Ended up using all my red burrs. That fight is hell if you don't have high fire resistance. He was literally killing me in two hits without it.
 
Just got my game today. I've played about 4 bosses into Demon's Souls, but dropped it (one day I'll go back to it...), but last year I got Bloodborne around launch, finished it and absolutely loved it, it was my GOTY. First Dark Souls here.

Played a couple of hours, I just opened the first shortcut (the elevator back to the High Wall of Lothric). Loving it so far. I chose pyromancer for my class. Dexterity ain't high enough to use the bow, but the fire spell covers long distances pretty nicely. Hopefully I can get some other spells soon, I already have the slot for it.

Btw, I legit lol'ed when the tutorial prompt said "click on the touchpad to open the menu" after the first boss.

Anyone else with a glitched Ember form? I didn't change armor. I am in Ember form. But there's no more fire on me since the last area I was in. It's just gone.

n is wrecking my shit. I forged past him for the longest time and actually defeated
Yhorm first then returned to Ithyrll. Figured I was good and overlevelled at that point, fuckin' nope.

This fucker gives you like zero openings and when he does you can get off about one attack. Then after a few tries I finally get him to his second phase where he splits in two. How the shit are you supposed to even fight this guy?

Don't think so but a trick you can use is a daggers FP skill which lets you dash and is much faster if you keep tapping it.
 
Question for you guys:

I'm pyromancer, so...

Should I stick with my deep battle axe +2 or start upgrading my irithyll straight sword and add some fire to it?

Thanks!

Hug his left side. A lot of his attacks will miss and you'll only need to dodge a few times. When he splits just focus on him, not his shadow and never let them separate.
 
I'm having a little trouble understanding how stats works for weapons. I'm curious about upgrading my +2 Raw Broadsword, and I'm looking at the stats chart for the weapon.

At +10 Fire, it does 184 physical and 184 fire damage. Does that mean it combines both values, so in the end it would be 368 total damage? (Or less, if people have fire resistance?)

I'll most likely end up going for +10 Raw, because 292 raw damage looks like it would help.
 
I'm on xbox one, I keep getting returned to title screen. Internet is fine. Nat is open, cross region play turned off. Any ideas??? Restarted game/console numerous times

My method:

Strafe to the left, like above. But use a round shield to parry the fire slashes. He has two obvious, easy to parry slashes. The first is when you're to his lower right, and he does a single swing at you with the flaming sword. That one is an easy parry, and you can trigger the swing by hanging around a vulnerable location. The second one is when he circles you counterclockwise to lead with the flaming sword. That's another easy parry.

In phase two I used fireballs to kill the illusion asap and repeated the above. The illusions is vulnerable when it's being summoned and it doesn't have that much HP.

Raw means your weapon has absolutely no stat scaling. Unless you don't plan to put any points into STR or DEX, Raw is a terrible endgame choice. And even if you don't put points into STR, or DEX, then you'd probably be better off using a weapon that scaled with a stat you ARE using (INT, FAITH, etc).

And yeah, elemental weapons go through two separate damage calculations against an enemy for the final result. If an enemy has high fire resistance, that 184 phys/184 fire will only be really benefiting from the physical portion.

Ah. The game is brilliant. I found my "glitch"
It's the untrue dark ring. What tripped me up is that I could still see my embers in the cutscenes.
 
OMG the fucking abyss watchers (second stage). I had that motherfucker to literaly one percent of his life. A mere sliver. I died. I'm not even sure how I got him to that point. I feel like I'm playing wrong. Can you parry his attacks? Can someone recommend a strong and fast weapon btw? I have dozens but I'm still using my Sellsword Twin Sword LOL, sharp +4, deals 201 damage. Uchigatana +4 deals 203, but it's much slower.
 
Just need a yes or no/ short answer.... trying to play the game as blind as possible.

Do the estus shards do anything other than upgrade your flask? I have like 6 flasks and another shard, and Im doing fine game-wise and feel like I could save the shard if I needed it somewhere else.

Yep, you can parry and backstab him.

The safest way to play him is just wait for a combo that ends in the jumping spin attack. It's extremely telegraphed and an easy backstab if you dodge towards him.

Nop.
 
Just beat the
Princes
after a wipefest. Have fun trying to use any other item than Estuses if you are soloing. And the real buttclench moment is the phase transition, you better be on point with positioning and dodging.

Now back to the
Nameless King
.

Thank you for the response! I've been pumping points into Vigor and Strength mostly - I haven't really dived into other builds, although I plan multiple playthroughs and at least trying different builds with DS3. Total noob when it comes to this stuff, but I'm trying to read up on guides to get a better grasp of the stats.

I figure I'll stop upgrading the Raw Sword and find one that can be infused with a Heavy Gem? That was it scales with my STR
 
Am I getting trolled with these illusory wall messages? My attacks don't do shit, lol. They have hundreds of likes...

Yeah I've been trying that I think. Not much backstab, but rolling into him. His attacks have MASSIVE range and he even stops the combo midway at times.

Yeah I can use
Astora's Greatsword
, I guess. Hmm.
