Maybe you can make that jump, but you don't have to.

Mind blown. Yeah you can make it. But now I need to go look for that secret...

 

[-MD-]

Am I a retard or what? I'm right clicking on DarkSoulsII(.exe) in the Dark Souls > Game-folder. Checking the "Run as administrator" and then apply. Then double click the .exe and nothing happens.

edit: do I need to have the GeDoSaTo-program in the background? The Whitelist/Blacklist-program?

Right click .exe > run as admin > activate and then I minimize it.

That's all I do.

There is a hidden door on the ground floor of that room. Run around the walls and mash A.

woot that worked, thanks dude (was also a chest up there)

 

[AlphaProspector]

Having an awful time at No Man's Wharf, god dammit this place...

This is where I started using the torch in full.

I still find it very jarring that some bonfires have dynamic shadows and others don't, it's like someone forgot to trigger the right buttons.

I also got the running glitch on those hollow soldiers (the ones with the funky run animation).

Other than that, so far so good.

Yeah it has to do with a particular covenant. That's why they are of a certain color.

Well damn that kinda sucks lol

 

[Grief.exe]

Can I skirt the rockwall here? I see lots of bloodstains showing people falling off, but not in that direction.

Also, GeDoSaTo is not a fan of alt-tabbing.

 

[eot]

Well damn that kinda sucks lol

What annoys me most about that place (aside from me failing the boss over and over) are the little shits who always tag me as I'm trying to enter the fog wall. I miss the invulnerability do those little guys stop spawning eventually?

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

That's my biggest annoyance with the game so far.

It's a bit "woah, wtf?" at first, but in 200+ hours I didn't outright break my weapon more than three or four times. You'll adjust quickly.

 

[Yoshichan]

And my game seems to tear a lot. Any way of solving this?

Force triple buffered v-sync and make sure you are able to hold a solid 60 FPS.

Its a covenant similar to the hunters in darkmoon baisin.

I think I was attacked by like 8 people total. It's surprisingly active.

I slaughtered them all, the men, the women, the children.

Do I force it with Durantes mod or is that in the Nvidia settings?

We aren't all scrubs. I wrecked Smelter on my PS3 playthrough many times with a Greatsword.

 

[legacyzero]

Why do I keep getting this with most weapons I try to equip? We're talking just basic swords here...

 

[Ghazi]

Optional boss, only an achievement is at stake by missing. NG+ might be a bear though, best to give it a shot before moving on.

Eh, I can get the achievement on another character in NG, think I'll just go right ahead into NG+.

Thanks!

Stat requirements are a bit harsher at first. You'll need a few sLvls before using basic stuff.

Let's just say I can max it out at 1080p on my old DualCore CPU with a few minor dips here and there. It runs great

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Sorry if its been debated to death but is adaptability worth it or not? Just started the game and primarily plan on going melee. Mostly used swords and spears in Demon Souls and Dark Souls if it makes a difference.

Started with a knight but might reroll if it is a worthless stat. Thanks.

Do you have the strength/dexterity required?

Allow me to show you, with ENB.

DoF is a little bit too much, but I love the colors and lighting

Care to share your settings? I need to get into this ENB business it seems

 

[Facism]

That's a hard fight for almost everyone. Has nothing to do with weapon choice. Phantoms and hosts alike die like fuckng crazy there.

Even more excuse to play with prudence and sense instead of running 2-handed YOLO into the big fiery death machine, don't you think?

 

[base shagohod]

Am I the only one with controller issues? I'm using a wireless 360 controller w the dongle..
Nothing works, not even in menus.

Super frustrating. I just wanna play lol

 

[Vuze]

So, ENB users, are you experiencing those pink effect bugs as well or do you know a way to get rid of them? Love the ENB DoF and other effects but this occurs to me with Boris' ENB as well as with Wickfuts ENB.

Thanks! I did it with Nvidia setting and it works flawlessly!

 

[Stone Ocean]

Go to the equipment screen, select an item slot and hover over the weapon you want to use, on the bottom left it'll tell you the stat requirements and the stat scaling.

 

[Tecl0n]

Is there a way I can tell what level I should be at to be able to use these?

Go to the equipment screen, a go to the item you want before confirming the equip in the bottom there is a handful of icons with numbers, they are the requirements for said weapon. The letters indicate the scaling it has with one or more stats.

It's worth it. More agility means more i-frames while rolling, allowing you to roll through attacks more easily similar to the first Dark Souls. Around 100 agility (~20 ADP) should be enough, not worth it going higher.

Think of each path as a wing, to play the game as easily as possible you should do copse before bastille, and then do either the area after copse or lost bastile, and the sinners rise or the last area after huntsman copse. Its kind of confusing because you have to find these places by yourself, unlike demon's souls where you could teleport to each wing. Basically a normal person might just give up and go exploring other places, but other people are stubborn and just keep going
