Man, online can be an hilarious shitstorm. Someone summoned me to protect him from a purple invader, there was also another white summon, then a red invaded too, white bro disapeared dunno where while I chased the purple and the red chased me.

And then another sunbro joined but he was orange-ish and

it was hostile

. Holy shit it was a mess lol but at the end me and the host survived everyone

and then I fell off a cliff and died. Cliffs > invaders.

Very late game spoiler / question.

damn. Lorian and the brother are pretty hard to beat. The first phase isn't too bad, but man, this is a hard fight. any tips?

 

[cheezcake]

So how close am I to end-game?

Spoiler

Just got to the Untended Graves

 

[toastyToast]

Am I the only one missing a fuck ton of attacks on bosses? Were weapons always this short or is it because they all move around so much now?

ah I just beat them!

Spoiler

I found that if I kept circle strafing and stayed close then their attacks were easy to dodge besides the holy missle spam (where I ended up just dodging like crazy because they start homing on you while they teleport for a melee strikes). it doesn't really change from phase 1->2 in when they're vulnerable.every time lorian missed a melee strike i hit him once, and in the second phase when both are out I tried to dodge to the back so I was hitting both brothers at the same time, because when he revives lorian a second time he gets even more moves, so you wanna try to keep the damage between them even starting from phase 2

 

[Rhaknar]

If feel like a lot of them drop from enemies in the catacombs.

thats shards?

 

[Bloodporne]

Fuck, Bloodborne trained me with those regen and relatively easy parrying mechanics that I keep getting my ass beat rushing in immediately after getting hit and miserably failing at parrying.

I guess there's a reason I never parried in DS1 :/

 

[Deleted member 47027]

is there a place late game to farm titanite scales? I can barely upgrade any weapons :/

They're all over the place later. Just persevere. They will flow.

Don't feel too bad. It might look familiar but DS3 parries are incredibly tough.

That's a secret area but if you go back to the area before it then you're probably about 3/4.

I've been getting this vib here and there as well, not just with bosses, but even with regular mobs from time to time.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Now played the game for 9 hours since launce and just beat the 2nd main boss. Took me like 6 tries. Fun boss. Really love this game so far. Been taking my time and exploring everywhere. Dying everywhere too. Lol

 

[Ohnonono]

I got knocked off a certain bridge and the game decided I did not need to take any fall damage. I don't think I need the expensive key at all. Go Dank Souls.

[MysteryQuesadilla]

Totally with the "are all weapons this short" replies. I have a haldberd but damn it doesn't seem to keep the mobs at bay as much as I thought it would. Maybe I just suck.

 

[Empty Space]

So is there a hard limit to how many titanite scales and slabs you can get per NG? That would be a huge let down all this weapon variety and I'm terrified to level up any of the boss weapons I have, because I've only found one scale.

In regards to short weapons charged R2s are incredibly helpful at baiting any enemy to leap at you then hits stunning them. I think I do the claymore poke more than just about any attack when first exploring an area.

I've been getting this vib here and there as well, not just with bosses, but even with regular mobs from time to time.

I feel like the Bloodborne influence on enemies' speeds and attacks is slightly at odds with your weapon speeds and so forth. Maybe it's that I need to adjust on my end and re-learn things a bit but I feel like everything is much quicker than me.

 

[Cruxist]

So, it's not as good as it was once upon a time but (weapon spoiler)

Spoiler

Black Knight Sword

is my go to now that I've found it. I was using the greatsword from the Abyss Watcher that has the little hook thing, but this just feels so good.

Finding a ton of stuff in playthrough 2 that I missed. Loving the pyromancy options, and I'm enjoying wearing slightly heavier armor.

Everyone should invest in some Undead Hunter Charms to stop all that estus chugging. Even if you don't actively PvP, they're useful to help with incoming invasions. There's little more satisfying than disabling a player's estus flask and watching them try to run away and heal in futility as you go up to them for the killing blow.

For Souls vets, they're the Lloyd's Talismen of this game (also still pacify the

Mimics

). They're also probably more useful than in previous games since there are no more healing gems and you can't just keep healing using Humanity/Embers anymore. The AoE also seems a bit more generous, but I can't be certain.

Had the same thought when I reach that section "DAMN YOU FROM!" as I was running like mad.

At least they're regular arrows this time. Not nearly as bad. That one from DS1 is my most hated section in all of these games.

Glad to see I'm not the only one, hopefully parrying is not a must have skill otherwise I'm screwed for this game .

Definitely noticing a number of enemies having a faster attack speed than me. I think that is why I feel like the game is "slower" than I was expecting.

 

[Tenebrous]

Currently stuck on that boss, any tips?

Spoiler

It took me about 4 attempts. At first I was being too conservative with my attacks, but each time I tried to figure out exactly how many claymore swings I could get in before she attacked again. I managed to drain my stamina bar completely when she transitions which almost took off a quarter of her health. Past that, I just kept my distance, waited for the last swing, ran in, and hit her a few times.

Estus+6 (x10), level 75~, Claymore /w a 100% block shield.

I had a dude chug 5 estus flasks on me when they invaded at a time when my maximum was 7 I was furious. I get that invasions aren't duels, but that's really not okay when you're just trying to explore the area. Knights of Farron are jerks!

 

[Finalow]

This game is love.

A Sunlight bro. A Mad Phantom. And a Red Phantom. Sitting next to eachouter and cheering for the host vs invaders.

So good.

The host kept summoning dark spirits.

one of the reasons why this game has the best PvP / online system. there are a couple of locations where you can constantly get stuff like that but otherwise it's usually just a single invader vs gank squad goodluck&havefun

In the cutscene I was teleported somewhere, then I got the loading screen, then I found myself in a room with a person knelt before me, I only got a brief look, before I got the "You Died" title, and I awoke at the first Anor Londo bonfire. I sprinted back to the boss room, retrieved my souls, got the ring from up at Gwynevere's couch, and now I don't know what the fuck to do. Can I get back to this place I was teleported to? I checked and there was no warp point.

Any recommendations for where to go to be invaded for characters around level 20? I have equipped the way of the blue covenant and am running around the high wall of lothric area but not having any luck? Should I just go to the next area? When using a cracked red eye I can invade there with no issues but seems like no one is invading.

Yay I beat the first boss. That wasn't very hard at all. I'm still using my starting mercenary dual sword. I can't say I've found any use for the skill or for dual wielding to be honest. At least I've upgraded it a decent amount with a raw gem.

How can you make long jumps in this game btw? I see some treasure on a ledge which should reachable with a running jump, but I don't remember how it's done. Or am I imagining things?

Always dodge into him, you will end up under or right behind to get some shots in on his legs. Just stay tight as much as you can.
