Thank you!

What other stats would you advise levelling? It is a good class for the long haul?

I dunno

In all the previous game the bulk of Pyromancy effectivness was determined by upgrading the pyromancy flame

Im not sure how the mechanics were changed for DS3 other than the stat descriptions mentioning Int/Faith affects pyromancy

First the crashes near the bonfires and now the game won't even launch? What the FUCK From?

Failed to start app (missing executables) but I played a few hours ago, I verify the integrity of the game and it is now downloading the whole thing again.

Beautiful.

Aaaaaaarrrrrgghhhh

 

[SilentRacoon]

Well I decided to go with a familiar play-style and went with the sorcerer class, and first thing I noticed is that I need dexterity to UP my casting spell time, I'm already regretting my decision, seems like this game forces you to make use of a weapon at some capacity, all I want to make a true spell only run like in DS II, dammit From.

 

[GrandHarrier]

Do you ever increase the strength of Ashen / Estus Flasks or is it just number of uses?

You can get a dagger at Firelink that has that ability right in the beginning I believe

Yes, you get Undead Bone Dust which you can burn in Firelink Shrine to upgrade. The first one I've found is in

I have yet to find an NPC that sells Miracles. I found a Pyromancer and Sorceror. I am at

Gave up waiting for a summon sign to appear and help with

Nameless King

, no embers left... fuck it.

And.. I kicked his ass. Kinda, 4 Estus left and the second phase seemed to be easier than all the times before. So happy!

Time for some pvp or NG+

Yeah the stat split along with how much souls you need to level up now.... makes building up tough early on

Mages need Attunement, Dex, Int and Faith

And likely want Vigor and some Vit as well

Tough to balance

 

[nortonff]

Shorter than Bloodborne.

I don't even notice them, especially after dying.

That's great!!

Are fire gems farm-able at some point?

Faith? Why?

 

[JetSetRadio]

The look and feel of this game sometimes tricks me into thinking I'm playing BB. Too bad it lacks the guns and health regen.

Mid/Late(???) game Estus check. I just got to the P

rofaned Capital, and have killed Aldrich and Pontiff Sulyvahn already.

I'm on Estus+6 with 10 charges. How does this compare to you guys? I'm not using a guide, so I've no idea whether I've missed a shit load or if I'm doing well... No idea how far into the game I am percentage-wise.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Faith? Why?

Sorry I should have had a slash there depending on whether you do Mage/Cleric/Pyro or all of the above

 

[robotzombie]

So any suggestions on really good great-ultra greatsword that are worthwhile to upgrade?

Apparently I just missed that. Lol whoops.

 

[Neoweee]

It is a Copy-Paste of the Dark Souls 2 mechanic. You get Ash to toss in the main bonfire to level Estus power.

Sounds about right. There's probably 1 of each you could have just by a wild guess.

There's a

ring that replenishes some health with continuous attacks

 

[Lorcain]

I felt like I lived up to my Deprived origin when I lured Mr. Katana into a combo that took both of us off the edge to our deaths. My guy doesn't care about dying, it's what he does. Respawn and run back to collect my loot.

Now my Deprived doesn't just have ratty looking underwear, he has a strip of rotten potato sack to cover a sliver of his chest, and some rotten t-shirts for hand wraps. Someday he will look back with nostalgia on how it all started.

(Farron's keep boss spoilers)

Abyss Watchers

seem like a pain in the ass to solo.

Yeah, first boss that gave me trouble to do solo.

 

[Aztechnology]

Please help... I was just in firelink shrine, and was dicking around. I jumped from the higher level onto the transposition guy (Ludleth) and accidently must of clicked attack and killed him. What can I do? Do I have to restart the game?

You missed 'em.

The miracle vendor can be found in

[PapaEmeritus]

Found a hilarious bug on PS4 -

My character decided to get really impatient with me as I hesitated to fight the first boss.

He just tapped his foot like this until I manned up and moved him closer.

 

[Ravager61]

Is there a place to buy titanite shards early in the game? They seem pretty stingy with them as drops so far and I'm about 4 bosses deep in the game.

 

[Navy Bean]

Does pyromancy need investment into those stats to make it good or can it be used for a melee class as an alternative magic like past games?

pyro is strong as a supplement if you just level the hand and throw a few points into either INT or FTH plus the pyro rings... Get the

Spoiler

great chaos fire orb

and that's all you need. Obviously, this won't work quite as well if pyro is your main.

Spoiler

I re-rolled on one character and dumped everything into FTH, then used a lightning gem on my weapon (levels with FTH) and you have a very strong combination. Problem is it's really late game before the blacksmith can infuse lightning so it's really a NG+ build. Or, find a fth scaling weapon you like early which I didn't

Thanks. I've done my best to explore, but I'm not surprised if I've missed a few.

Hollows in the frist area drop them rarely... yeah Titanite is a problem early game and you need double the amount you used to...

Why when I travel back or die at the Firelink Shrine, theres a fog blocking the exit? I have mess with resting at the bonfire a few times in order for it to go away..

It's loading the world and just hiding it

I don't see a Grave Key at any vendor. Just a Tower Key.

Potential end game spoilers, only click if you really don't care:

Does killing Horace after meeting Anri in Ithryll loxk you out of the true ending? The guide I followed said it had to be before, but Anri still showed up in the church.

My heart.... it sunk so low into my stomach. Oh man, besides some residual screaming we're all good here. Thank you.

Damn I really did miss a huge part of the game lol. I'm guessing a lot of people will be doing the same backtrack over the next couple of days

Do you have the Mortician's Ash? If so, give it to the Shrine Handmaiden and she'll sell new items, including said key.

There's a message saying there's an illusonary wall in front of me in high wall of lothric. Just after the area with the knight that has a spear. Is it lying? I press A but it just reads the message lol.

Walls are removed by hitting them in this one. I think it's lying, but I may have just missed it.

 

[hawk2025]

I don't like that Pyromancy is no longer the "free" magic, and more of a INT + FTH Hex thing

Keep pushing A. It'll work, I'm sure.

I'm at work and all I'm thinking about is DS3. I want to leave early. Must resist...

How many bosses have you beaten so far?

I beat her after that rage post. I unlocked her as my second boss cause I like murderin' NPCs, came back wayyy later. Grab attack is still shenanigans, and her tells are so weird.
