Dark Souls III |OT+2| Why Can't We Poise the Game?

- Start date

Nah, start Pyro. As chunk3rvd said a Raw Astora Straight sword will do, it does good damage at lower levels. If you want to keep using a weapon on higher levels, you can get a Chaos infused Carthus Curved Sword or the Witch's Locks (that's a late endgame weapon though).
Go to Smoulder Lake the sooner you can, best spells are there.
Stats wise 40/40 INT and FTH is the cap desired, although there's a softer cap at 30/30 if you want to reach a lower level.
Take in mind either Vestiges o Chaos Fireball takes 2 slots and you'll have one of them equipped, so you're gonna need ATT. I roll with 30 ATT with my pyro but you can also go 24+a slot ring.
Hey thanks!
I'll try it with the mimics on my way to it and farm them then.
It's my second char and with my first one I got one at the last mimic I think and thought it always drops thereThats why I'm farming it now in NG+...
Yeah I also thought it was a guaranteed drop. I think I killed all the mimics for my sorcerer character so I hope that the DLC has a few mimics.
Don't go caster, talk about a pain in the ass. The pyro suggestion others have given is much better as most enemies are weak to fire.
For a pyro I'd say the Assassin class is a pretty good starter as it has some points already in INT/FTH and has a lot better starting weapon. You can get the pyromancy flame already in Undead Settlement so you can concentrate the start of the game on other stats.
Got one after maybe 50 tries. Almost lost all hope.
Was summoned as a watchdog three times today and never found anyone. Good times.

Beat Nameless King. I was surprised it only took about 8 tries.
Defeated Prince Lothric and made our way to the Kiln of the First Flame.
So what's the deal with the Twin Princes glitching the game out? It's frozen twice now on separate sessions, never had that happen with any boss fight in DS2 or Bloodborne.
I'm a bit sad that

Ludleth just burns up when you place the last Cinders of a Lord, we should've at least given him a heads up that it was going to happen even if he had already accepted his fate.

Remember, he had linked the flame before. He knew exactly what was going to happen.
Crystal Soul Spear deals a lot of damage on INT60 and the required gear. Its easy to avoid tho.

He described a laser beam so I'm thinking he got hit by Soul Stream, which does even more damage than CSS.
soul stream is the winner guys. Thanks.
I was lagging and I couldn't dodge at the right time, but I was pretty confused nevertheless as it hit like a truck
Edit: something else. Please recommend me a new weapon to use for the rest of NG+. I'm currently playing through Irithyl and will face the pontiff soon. Gotthard's? Another big one?
I'm on a quality build 40/40.

Does the linking of the flame always involve Lords of Cinder burning up though? In DS2 the 4 Great Souls was just to access the Shrine of Winter, it was taking the Throne of Want that caused the fire to be linked.

If you kill Ludleth and then re-enter the area, you will find him dreaming of the fire burning him up:

Whoa, those cosplays are amazing. O_O
How are they, for example Gothards, in PvE on a quality build? They look pretty fun but I never tried them.
Man those cosplays are indredibly looking.
Why Darkmoon Blade? isn't it the same as Lightning Blade but with magic damage instead?

I like it a lot refined at +10. I can look up the numbers later today if you are interested.
Infusing a weapon with something it's almost always the way to go, and the LKS is a good straight sword.
Now, what infusion depends on your stats. If DEX only then sharp, if you have a Quality build (both DEX/AND STR somewhat equally) refined, if pyro Chaos infusion... etc
You can farm more infusing gems anyways so don't worry to infuse a weapon then switch to another one.
the weapons are great !
Gives you great trading and poke potential. and you can stunlock people into a full combo of them .
This guy made a build video with them : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrdfvCYohQI ( The Title of the video refers to the fact that you can kill peole in one combo )
While DMB , Crystal magic weapon and Lightning blade are considered to be in the same tier of buffed weapons , the first 2 tend to perform better then lightning blade .
The reason being that lightning resist comes from The Endurance stat and since almost everyone levels up endurance in the game eventually , you will encounter more players who are weak to magic damage rather then lightning damage .
and lastly here is Oroboro showing of the crazyness that is Sellsword twinblades :

I'm playing as a sorcerer and wearing the same clothes since the beginning of the game, because I didn't found some better ones.
Now that I'm nearly finished the game, I'm asking myself if I have done something wrong. I really would like some other clothes.

It's fine. The sorcerer starter set is actually pretty good. If you haven't found new ones then you need to look into various nooks and crannies harder.
We made it to Archdragon Peak, and killed the Ancient Wyvern.
What a rush for a boss fight! Completely unlike anything else I've ever seen in Dark Souls or Bloodborne before, it's more of a set piece with having to navigate the arena, avoid all of the snake men and then reach the top to finish it off with a plunging attack.
I wonderiwhat the philosophy/idea behind it was, considering how much of a departure it is from other dragon bosses such as Ancient Dragon, Sinh etc.?
That's a really interesting idea - so if Ludleth was burned to link the fire, why is he still around? I would have thought doing that would have been a very permanent end, so to speak.

I forgot to post that I actually found a fix to my problem of not being able to summon or be invaded, though I could still enter other peoples' worlds.
All I had to do was increase my router's MTU size from 1400. 1500 worked for Dark Souls 3, but I couldn't load any webpages, so I settled on 1450, which fixed both.
Really odd problem, but there you go. Just in case anyone else has a similar issue and comes looking for a solution.

What's considered the best weapons to 2hand for a quality build? I'm using (but not really loving) Wolf Knight's Greatsword +2 right now. I have the materials to take it to +3 but I'm really hesitant to.
I was using a Butcher's knife earlier which was decent but the look of that thing was aweful.
Progress wise I just beat
(doubt this would have to be spoilers, but oh well...)
Also, I'd kind of like to get to <30% weight. Is there some light armor that looks good that I could get?

I'd say Astora or profaned greatsword (though it leans more towards str and can't be infused).
I have great fun with the Hollowslayer Greatsword
The best thing is the fp consumption, which is pretty decent for such a big sword. And it punishes hollows, very cool.
Black Knight Greatsword is also good. Tops out a little higher than the Wolf Knight Greatsword. Black Knight sword gets a boost against demons, Wolf Knight Sword gets a boost against "abyssal" enemies.

Gundyr's Halberd (or Black Knight Glaive)
Hollowslayer Greatsword
Astora Greatsword
Winged Knight Halberd (Refined path)
Exile Greatsword (or Old Wolf Curved Sword)
Did they patch or change the Aldrich invasions? It's pretty ridiculous right now. I consider to play this part offline as they invade me all the time.
Edit: better now. Not 3 invaders on my side all the time ATM....
Edit2: I was wrong I get invaded every 2 minutes by two Aldrich guys. WTF

No, there's just a shit load of people doing it now thanks to player-generated covenants.

I love the Gundyr Halberd myself. Won me lots of Shackles too.
Awesome, never got this to work. Might look into it.

Remember the opening cinematic, how it showed the Lords of Cinder being resurrected? Ludleth is a Lord of Cinder too; his resurrection was just off screen (probably since he isn't a boss).
From the Wiki plot synopsis:
"The bell is the last hope for the Age of Fire, raising previous Lords of Cinder, heroes who have linked the flame across aeons to attempt to link the fire again. However, all but one Lord abandon their thrones rather than linking the fire again."
I only managed to get to Anor Londo unembered. It was insane. Two Aldrichs and on top some normal invaders. This part of the game is so unbelievably unbalanced, amazing how shit like this could pass any form of QA.
I don't mind dying to an invader every now and then, but getting gank invaded is plain stupid.

You could have summoned help. White signs are everywhere there just for these ganks.
No, thats bad game design if it's possible to be ganked by 3-4 invaders playing alone over and over again. It's not guaranteed that you'll find any help.
The invasion/pvp balancing pisses me off in this game, big time. And that's because it can be much fun if it does work.

There's more white signs at Pontiff than duel signs now
