Ohhhh I see. Sorry for misreading.
Are you looking up this stuff every time, or do you all know this by heart? You're a real encyclopaedia.
You can powerstance it with a Caestus, bare fist or Vanquisher's Seal fist if that's what you're after.
Yes and with farming gear. No luck at all
I know but I don't like powerstancing two different weapons.

You can burn an Ascetic in the first Ivory King bonfire to get another.
They drop them and they're easy to farm for it. Drop rates not great but you have higher as a phantom.
Remember most of it like the general stuff and scaling and maxed infusions. Other than maybe a few quirky ones.Are you looking up this stuff every time, or do you all know this by heart? You're a real encyclopaedia.
Why would I streak through an archive nude?

Yes it's the reindeer they also drop dragon bones and old radiant lifegems.

I only need a Rampart Golem Helm and I'm set! One (at least) of each items obtained in the game, or the last one in an "exchange line".
My idea of a perfect save anyway.
Soon I'll be done, soon!

-hours of item grinding later- ANYTIME NOW!
I honestly think that From has some sort of algorithm that looks at your characters starting class, build, etc and then determines drop rates based off that. For example, you have a character who needs a blacksteel katana HE YEARNS for a blacksteel katana. You drive every Alonne knight in Iron Keep to extinction while having max item discovery. You don't get that blacksteel katana, your character can never fulfill his purpose in life. Then you have a Cleric, a character who will never need a blacksteel katana ever, in fact he would be upset if he DID get one due to the fact that he will never utilize it ever. First Alonne knight you kill drops it, with no item discovery gear.
Will it reset the snow storm?
Pretty sure the storm is tied to Aslana or what ever she's called, not a bonfire.

Nope, the storm does not reset. Aava does, but not the storm.

Its not even snow, its just sand lol

Haha, it sure does feel that way. I had the exact same problem with so many other items. My melee toon could never get a Gyrm Greatshield, but my hexer got 4. My melee toon never got the blacksteel katana, and my hexer did first time through before Smelter, no item gear.
I have tried farming for the Llewellyn set for so long, the stone knights have been farmed to extinction numerous times and those damn gauntlets refuse to drop, I have like 5 of each other piece. So frustrating.
Was at some point like Raime was.

Velstadt is one of my favorite bosses in the main game, both lore wise and gameplay wise.

Why are we so tiny compared to everything in Souls games. Even other humans tower over us. I was watching Blooborne and it seems to be the same. Are we like four foot nothing?

Imposing atmosphere compared to your fragile starting nature. Bloodborne is slightly different since you are a

also the bes armor in the game.. lol Real sad none of the dlc's beat it.. it looks soo fucking awesome...

Most NPCs are our height, but boss wise I think they do it to be more intimidating the first time you see them. Think about it, if you went into a boss fight which would cause you to be more intimidated, someone your height or someone that towers over you and could squash you like a bug? Plus most of the time they're either Giant creatures, demons, or some weird monster.
So I lost my Dark Souls 2 save... I beat the game and don't feel like doing it all over again. Can I play the DLC fine on a starting character? Or do i really need to beat the game again. (Is it possible to download a save that has the game finished, then go do the DLC perhaps?)
Thanks! Also how do you access the DLC?

I think that feature was a bit overused in Dark Souls 2, you fight normal enemies yet the devs makes them bigger anyway.
DarkHeartedKill

Thing is you access the DLC from different points in the game.
Crown of The Sunken King is accessed from the room after The Rotten, Crown of The Iron King is after Old Iron King, and Crown of The Ivory King is from Shrine of Winter
Guess I will beat the game again, atleast this time I am better at it.
Orochinagis
Member
Yes you can play it on a starting character, the items just appears in your inventory so you can access the DLC anytime but you need to kill the boss before the DLC area to reach the DLC.
With the exception of one boss from the Iron King dlc that needs the ashen mist from the ancient dragon to be accessed.

Each crown has a special ability; The first takes 1 point away from VIT and VIG but adds 1 point to STR, DEX, END, FTH, and INT, the second passively increases spell casts, and the third passively heals you. When you have those three, plus Vendricks crown, going inside Vendricks memory and speaking with him will cause him to upgrade your crowns. Whenever you are wearing one of the four crowns you are immune to curse build up, will not go hollow upon death, and I think you don't get petrified either...someone would need to verify that though.
That sounds sweet.

After farming the 50 Loyce Souls and finishing up all the little end game items, I can finally retire DS2. After the DLCs, I think this will end up much higher on my GOTY list than originally expected after the vanilla base game.

So, does anything happens once you have the 3 crowns ?
I just finished the DLC, I talked to Vendrick and got a very brief cutscene, is that all there is ? I know I shouldn't have but I was expecting an actual ending to the game this time... Am I missing something ?

They should've named them the "Freaking Outskirts" or something worse. Just visited the area thinking it couldn't be that bad... but I still need to kill those guys... argh %$&$@#"$%$#%&$/&!!!!!
I suppose I'll try tomorrow since the NPCs are not helping at all. I hope fromsoft makes those multiplayer areas easier once the number of players online decrease, otherwise I don't think I'd be able to beat those bosses again in the future (not that I'd like to even try that).
It's cool I don't even need to use human effigies again. Tell me the effect of wearing a crown will be there once I start NG+. BTW, what items will I loose once I start NG+?, I'll try NG+ once I'm done with this area.

How long did it take to farm the Loyce Souls? It is slow going for me. I get 1 soul in 2 out of 3 summons. This is with the Gold Serpent ring and the Symbol of Avarice equipped. I am however swimming in Charred Loyce gear.

Isn't it dependent on the host? Whenever I seem to pick drops, so does everyone else.

That may be true, but I thought everyone's drops were independant.

I can't tell if the guy I just fought was move-swapping or if it was just weird lag. He cast Dark Orb at me with a Target Shield but apart from that it was a totally normal fight.

I finally finished the third DLC with my second character so I could get the Ivory King UGS which is pretty cool. The range on it is huge and the added damage with the auto-buff you get while two-handing it is great.

What is the 2H buff?
Cannon Goose
Member
When you one-hand it it acts like a Zweihander but when you two-hand it all the attacks have this range extending magic buff on them. The buff activates only when attacking and each hit takes 10 durability, so with 200 durability it's not bad for PVP.

It's independent. I've seen people picking up loot when I see nothing. Often when something drops, something seems to drop for everyone so there's that as well.
