Sorry for that I fixed it.
Okay, so yeah,
keeping some distance in the second phase is not a good tactic knowing that little brother can throw his spells at me.
And I'll try to be more careful during the first phase.

Thanks for the advice!
I suppose there is the true final boss after this one?

Agree,
Yhorm
because the trailer made me believe Im gonna fight a huge, terrifying giant in this game who cannot be beaten by an overpowered sword that kicks his ass in 5 hits.
Shouldn't be too hard, PS4? I might have to make a run to your spot since my PS4 char isn't that deep into that location.

Ok, I'll try next time. I wonder if there is one person that managed to defeat both of them head on.
I think i may have just gotten lucky if that's the case. I was super confused when it was over in like 20 seconds.
Most likely yes but it's just the same bullshit fighting two enemies at once always is. Roll forever until you get a window to attack every 5 minutes, repeat ad nauseam.

It's related to lag, I think. It's been happening about 50% of the time I summon somebody.
The enemies do aggro onto either players, just like normal, but they seem to be laggy which makes them easy to kill before they start moving.
Oddly, backstabs seem to work perfectly and resync the players, but the game quickly messes up again.
Yeah! The
moveset and sound design all sounds and feels very Gwyndolin. The second phase when hetransforms his weapon into a Scythe was definitely a callback to Nashandra Actually he doesn't do that lol. ..
I think it is my favourite boss fight thus far. <3
You've got quite a lot to do still, don't worry
Just reached U
ntended Graves
pretty cheap they recycled the beginning area :/
Katana dude
Welp,
Champion Gundyr
didn't even transform. But Katana dude didn't do anything either, expected him to pull of some cool moves
E: Actually scratch my remark about the area, once you get past the boss, it gets pretty interesting. Will definitely have to read up what the lore behind this is
id say youre around 60% through counting all optional areas. maybe a bit more
PC forgot to mention >_<

Well it no longer feels like fan fic scatter around, just a direct sequel...

So last night i transposed V
soul and got the Left Pontiff Eye.
So boss souls don't work like DS1 then where they are vital for late game weapon upgrading, they're just become weapons/items instead?

Honestly, with how obscure and vague these games tend to be, the fact that it does feel like a direct sequel screams fanfic to me even more.
If people complained about "overt" connections in DS2, they'll die in a sea of annoyance from DS3. For what it's worth, I never thought the DS2 connections weren't even that direct and thought it was handled pretty well.

That's good. Seems like a nice length
Yes (spoiler buffer)
The spells are not too bad but there's a little randomness in there. The beam you just need to roll through. He'll fire it off either when you're keeping your distance or immediately after his brother does the light beam sword attack.
The little bright light spell is harder to judge. At first I thought it was like Aldrich's spell and you would roll at the last second but it's sort of combination of Soul Mass Arrow. So, just keep rolling like mad, that's what I did, haha.

Just take it slow, watch and learn.
I do feel for newbies, i'm coping with the enemies fine.. well ok
, but they are definitely harder than what previous games have offered, especially so early on as well. This game feels as though it is definitely aimed at Veterans.Take your time to learn what items do etc, Equipment can be really useful, depending on your class etc. Look for a 100% physical shield, a good start.
And just ask questions! Souls community is great for that.
Fanfic is such a weird complaint to make. It's a sequel. The hell did you expect?
Yeah, so, where can I order a big-ass scan of this so I can put it on my wall? lol
Late post, but Im going to make some art to chronicle my playthrough of the game (as much as I can) Stayed up late to finish the first piece. Wanted to share before I went to bed and woke up for work in 5 hours, aaah
Yeah, so, where can I order a big-ass scan of this so I can put it on my wall? lol
Where exactly should I go next? I am
At Anor Londo. Got to Aldritch and she one shot me with an aoe arrow spell. Went to check out Gwyndolin's old spot and it's still a long ass hallway so I noped out of there. Only other place is not Tower of Latria where the medusa just stare at me and lower my health. Am I near a place where I can farm titanite chunks?
I liked (mid-late optional area)
dead and lost izalith
Thought it had actual fun level design rather than leaning too much on style.
Trade them in for weapons/spells/rings/items.
Thanks.
You can...
-
Beat Aldrich and get a Soul of Lord of Cinder - you will need to do this at some point. Her arrow AOE will one-shot you no matter what SL you are, more or less.
Carry on through the dungeon to another boss.
ok, starting to really getting angry here..
Wrong shield and rings then. I tanked that whole fight on my first playthrough - it is possible and makes the fight a bit too easy then. Still a good fight and even more fun if you try to cast your way through (2nd phase urgh...)

Whilst the level design in 2 was shit, the area themselves had so much more unique (to souls) concepts.Every area in this game is just like "now its time for the catacombs ayyy dark souls".
Alright, and
can I also roll through big brother's light beam sword attack of death? I haven't tried that yet.
Hmm, I'm running a Dex build and have a maxed out Crest Shield... Might try switching it up then!

Hey all question time.
I'm doing a basic strength build (sword and board) and I have yet to find a claymore or zweihander (my favorite weapon) after 4 bosses (
).
Have I missed place to pick one of these up somewhere along the path I have traveled?

Destroy the lone bracelet first (the one on the boss's right hand), move on to the other hand, destroy the first bracelet of that hand and then start moving back to where you spawned. When he has one bracelet left. That's always been the moment he starts moving up (and thus bringing the fog forwards) for me, and when he finally stops, the fog shouldn't be a problem anymore.
e:
no fuck, didn't realize you were talking about the breathing part. With that one, just stay around under his head/between his hands, a bit down
I see what you mean. only one area in this game felt like something unique and new to m

Fuck catacombs... At least first DkS 1 had a decensy to have necromancers that you can kill to stop respawning
Do I need to do stuff in Smouldering Lake before I kill the boss of the Catacombs?
Faron Greatsword is cool but I still suck at parrying timing on harder mobs. So I might stick to shield/sword combo. Dark sword and estoc are my other go-to weapons right now, I just need some refined gems.
Specifically, I know you need to kill Horace. But I talked to Anri already twice and I am about to kill Wolnir now that I figured out what to do. Will this prematurely end Anri/Yuria quest since I didn't kill Horace and tell Anri about it?

Make a blessed long sword (or weapon of choice) just to use to finish off mobs.

Quick question about progress in
I got to a point last night and when i play next, curious about what i do next.
cathederal of the deep.
so i think my only options left are behind the giants. One has a double doors behind him. The other a stair case.
I have already explored the roofs etc and have the bonfire by the covenant lady and the short cuts back to first bonfire. I think i am meant to go up the stairs behind the giant and black slime things. Are you meant to kill the gaint here to pregress or am i missing something?
