Fall damage is affected by your equip load. The higher the load, the more damage.

An object with more mass does have more falling energy, it just doesn't fall faster.

Ah.
Although, it does bare questioning why your character's mass would change at all when he puts his sword and shield back into his inventory.

it's fucking hilarious when you're doing coop in NG+. you'd think people would have a handle on how the bosses work but nope. Had about 5 guys get dominated by Smelter's blast, or die to the spider mobs at Duke's Dear Frappe.
The funniest shit was old king. Pretty much as the fight starts, host rolls forward into the lava.
As a bonus, rarely any Greatsword users during NG+
Yeah but my tiny int is only sufficient to kill one with a stock of magic bolts :<
urgh i'm gonna go find out what happens if you kill the throne guardians instead. eff this noise!
This has always been apparent since the ability to walk right next to giant pools of lava, especially while wearing iron armour. Thermodynamics has no place in Dark Souls (or indeed in videogames, movies, animation... anything else that defies convection, basically)
Its a video game.
Is there anyway that I can get another plain Dagger? I broke mine and then sold it to Gavlan without thinking.
I checked a wiki and apparently you can only get one as starting equipment or the one dagger in the tutorial level.
I've got a bandits knife, I suppose I could use that. It was quite good in Dark Souls 1.

What? It's got such an obivous tell and long windup. It's like the best time to heal haha.

I said it earlier, I have been doing lots of sun broing to help learn the fights and I was never once summoned into a game where it was just the host. There would always be another summon there to help the host zerg the encounter.
Often times, they hadn't attempted the fight previously and the initial cut scene would play.
Bad form.
Maybe it is because we have played a previous Dark Souls entry, I know exactly what he is going to do when he is charging up.
I thought the newest version fixed the alt-tab issue? I've been downsampling through drivers anyways.

Gah! I did her solo and never got to see that!!
Why plain? Get the Manikin knife. It's better.

Hop down 1.5 meter, then do it with a 60kg backpack on and see if you notice a difference.
It seems like you have to be at a medium/long range to do that, much more common when done in co-op as there will invariably be someone standing back firing spells.

I'm still on my 1st playthrough, and the Greatsword is all I use. I got it maxed out, that it's attack is over 500. I kill those spiders with one hit.

I'm currently trying to get past Smelter with Lucatiel alive for the
achievement
Soooooo many clueless people co-oping there. It's obvious they are just there to do trial runs for their own attempt because they die as soon as
Smelter does his first AOE.
So fucking aggravating.

yo this is in NG+ though, G. These players have already been through these bosses in their first playthrough
Good for you
I was using a Dark Mace +10 until recently and was hitting for about 400 on those spiders. Shame it has terrible range Better to not bother with that boss for the achievement. It's much easier with the other bosses. You only need to do 3 out of 4.

Lol, *raises hand* I am guilty of that many times, but in my defense I already solo'd them before so I figure I will help a Sunbro out getting his medals and I just want to get to ng+.

smelter isn't so bad if you're a filthy miracle/hex/sorcery user like myself. Luca's defence has been buffed into the realm of gods now. Imagine what it was like at console release :/ Red eye ring and a lot of luck to keep her alive. L

I suspect someone else didn't either.
I think you're thinking of fall acceleration versus fall impact.
Yea, she won't die to him now. She died in like 5 hits pre-patched. The question is if the host can do as well as her.

Ya, they allowed two other people to zerg it to death while they stood in a corner, now they are repeating the process.
Maybe they are a little more confident that they have seen the boss twice now. It's really sad that this is the way people will experience Souls.

Should I abandon my Bastard Sword? I'm at Iron Keep and just got the
. I already put lightning on my
(and it doesn't seem as OP as it was in DS1) and have started really looking at stats and stuff like that. I'm running mainly a STR build (31 atm) and leveled my BS to +9. It only has C scaling and I don't want to risk a slab on the chance that the scaling won't upgrade that much.I still want to use a great or Ultra Greatsword if I can, I just need something that scales better. Currently I have the
and the sword inspired by Berserk (if anyone has tips on how to stay under 70% with that thing without taking off all my good armor let me know, it's a really cool looking weapon) but am open to other swords as well. And if I do abandon my BS sword what should I infuse it with so I get atleast a little more use out of it?
dull ember so I've started infusing weapons

Is it possible to get all achievements in one play through by respeccing after beating the game and buying all the magic stuff? I'm guessing that probably won't work
Bastard 4 lyfe!
There are two spells that can only be bought in NG++, so nope.
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Anyone know what happened to astroturfing on GAF? Hardcore Demon's Souls (and slightly less hardcore Dark Souls)-player. Just vanished, never to be seen in any of the DkS2 threads?
I used a Bastard Sword for most of my playthrough. Even towards the end of the game, it got the job done.
I'm still using my Bastard Sword+10 well into NG+, fwiw.

I beat the game with a plain old Bastard +10. It never felt weak.
She takes more damage from him especially the AOE attack but if you're fast enough, she'll be fine. She was never in critical during my experience. Also, Redeye Ring works against him.
RE: Equip Load - Have you got the Royal Soldier Ring?
It's behind a hidden destructible wall in Wharf and there's a +1 in Drangleic Castle once you kill all the mass sentinels in the room
mask of the lost sinner
I got it to +9 and used it until I found the
Mastodon Greatsword

Bastard Sword is great but personally I dropped it as soon as I found a Mastodon Greatsword (it's dropped by the spiders in
Brightstone Cove
speaking of that mask, is there a reason why stuff like that is always so imbalanced in the souls games?
like i guess there's some lore tied to it that some items need to be markedly stronger than others but it feels really weird, like i don't have much of a choice.
Yup.
