Haha yeah.
First time I heard that shriek I uttered a similar scream.
Not even Bloodborne gave these shocks.

Think I'll buy another Glaive and compare the damage output at the same upgrade level. 3.5k souls for a second glaive isn't really much at this point and who knows, maybe for whatever reason I'll end up dual wielding in NG+ or so lol
Bloodborne sized disappointment? So a nonexistant one?
Area that is the last one is very very obvious.

Best boss! That grab is such shit, though.
Well I've just stumbled across
Orbeck
Heretic's Staff
the first boss fight I did not like...
...was totally un-Souls like...the Souls games are all about different builds and playstyles...
Yhorm the Giant
forcing you to use that 1 particular weapon was corny...if they wanted to teach people how to use the trick weapons then it should have been part of an earlier tutorial
I killed the Nameless King using a Ultra Greatsword...Fume Ultra Greatsword
Nice. I just can't do it and it kills me (literally). I wanna use my badass swords like in DS1 but everyone has super armor and won't stagger. They did in DS1
Bosses, that is.And also I'm fucking fuming right now:
Two times now. Why does this keep happening to me. Why couldn't I have stamina for one more fucking hit.

How do i dodge his fire attack when he goes straigth up in the air ?

Your opportunities to get attacks in are
After NK does an attack and when the dragon is doing the grounded fire breath attack.
Another tip. I found that with the Spirit Tree Crest shield you can just block his lightning smash attack with barely any damage seeping through and hitting the dragon afterward.
All in all that first phase should be over in a minute or two with minimal damage.

Not sure about this one. You'll definitely get hit
it's 3 hits iirc and you can block one or two, third definitely connects though. He only ever does that attack if you're far away.

Well after not nearly being as hyped for this souls game as the previous, turns out its pretty great.
Anyone else abusing the bow? I'm running 2 hand Uchi and bow, but find myself using the bow more and more. Up to P
C
now and I've taken down 3 bosses using it exclusively (Pharis now at +7) and reguarly use it to cut down mobs as well.
Boss wise, it made A
W
and P
S
much easier and the boss of D
R
absolute cake. Got him 1st time without being hit.
Also is anyone using the (boss weapon)
? I'm keen to try a Pyro run next and it sounds like it would be a fun weapon that compliments a Pyro. Its out of the question for my current character at the moment stat wise so cant even try it out

Just run backwards lol >.>
It's a standard aoe attack with a little bit of cinematic flair.
I can't express how happy the glaive makes me.. It's sooo.. good... The range and power and stagger power...
I'd been using the broadsword up until this and htese guys were giving me so much trouble. I decided to choose a new weapon and I'm glad I did.
I'm SL48, faith character, 30 faith, only 18 str, and this is a heavy glaive +4 with dark blade up, which is a miracle that requires 25 faith
click for bigger webm
it shreds, and once I get more large titanites and upgrade it a couple more times it's going to be unbelievable. it makes combat a lot easier because when you two hand it, it has enormous stagger power combined with enormous range. It reminds me of the hunter axe in bloodborne but probably even better.

I can't even summon someone for this fight. It always says "Summon Impossible".
I think I legit hate this boss more than I hate Fume Fight in DS2.

Was that pre-nerf? They nerfed it badly before I bothered trying it. :[
I'm just using the "Greatsword" now, but it looks like it may be getting nerfed in the latest patch as well. I might just have to fall back to my trust Dark Sword or experiment with other blades. The Farron Greatsword looks badass, but my dex is only 23 or so.

So I've pretty much finished, just need to pick my ending. If I pick an ending, do I get to still play the game? Like will I be able to just level up and grind out souls for items etc or am I forced into NG+?
I went through the whole game pretty much with the Uchigatana and I kinda hate myself for doing that. I wanted to go dual swords so I picked the Sellsword and ended up just using the Uchi as soon as I could. Put a fire gem on it and it worked fine for most (probably all) of the game. Eventually turned it into a sharp one and +10'd it. I did use a certain bosses enchanted dual swords too and they were fun but I was getting more damage out of the Uchi and didn't have to worry about weakness/resists to fire/magic.
I really liked the game. Liked it more than DS2. DS1 is still tops though, the way that world fits together and connects is just beautiful. DS3 had some great moments and callbacks and rather than feeling confused about them like I did with DS2, they felt believable and plausible.
I loved how you could get a medium roll up to 70% weight, made it much easier for me to pick my armour so I could get decent protection and a decent roll. Barely used a shield except for the grass crest shield for the stamina regen. Bloodborne got me to embrace the aggressive style. I did find the game pretty easy compared to past souls games. Maybe at this point I know all the tricks and am prepared?
Looking forward to the DLC.

Haha pre nerf of course. That's why I had the
at the end. I have not used it since the nerf. Which was understandable.Running from the
abyss watchers
mist of death attack is like instant kill and it's hard to know when it's coming when you're trying to hit those bracelets.
Might check out the cathedral knight greatsword. Used it my entire run with heavy infusion and kicked a lot of ass with it.

Need help with my build. I'm usually a DEX build kind of guy, but in this game I want to use Greatswords, with the occasional use of Bows. Any tips on how to spec my build out? I'm finding it pretty annoying that Equipment Burden gains are locked to Vitality, but eh, another story.
My current build:
Soul Level: 39
Vigor: 12
Attunement: 14
Endurance: 13
Vitality: 23
Strength: 24
Dexterity: 16
Intelligence: 10
Faith: 9
Luck: 7

Well I've just stumbled acrosswho's selling the Greater Arrow spells so I'm hoping that will give me a bit more power. Im at level 27 and put 15 points into Vigor, 6 into INT but nothing else. I'm about to put one stat point into STR as I've just found theOrbeck. If there's something essential I've missed then you can let me know in spoilers if it's going to helpHeretic's Staff
Good! Id put some points into attunement now to get some more FP. Exploring will become a lot more manageable once you have more mana to spend. I wouldnt put any more points into vigor for now, you should be fine healthwise until midgame. Also raise intelligence with your next levels to improve damage and most important, did you level up your staff already? Int scaling changes to A very early on most staffs so this also improves your damage.
If youve found
Orbeck
There's a BK Glaive, which is basically the same thing.

If you're talking about W
olnir (skeleton guy)
Stay away from the purple death mist and this boss is a cinch.
Sounds like a plan
Two other things - do you use Steady Chant From what I saw it only increased damage by about 5% so didn't seem worth it but I don't know if it scales with anything so moght be worth it down the line? Also, do Estus heal set amount or percentage? I'd not put any points into Attunement like I said because I don't need any extra slots but if it heals percentage it would be worth increasing FP.ViewtifulJC

Can't believe it, another Glaive user
Been my favorite weapon since Dark Souls 1 (back when it was called 'Scythe'). Good call on the Heavy Upgrade, I just did the same and at Lv. 4 damage (with my STR stats, mind you) is
197+67 for regular Glaive
187+93 for Heavy Glaive
Wonder when scaling will go up tho, sure hope it does at all or at least before Lv. 9 or 10

Just beat Crystal Sage, that was easy
Currently rocking the Ithryll Straight Sword, but where can I get Twinkling Titanite to upgrade it? All the little crystal lizards so far have dropped either gems or Titanite Scales =/

They will drop twinkling titanite too, their loot is fixed. I think you'll get more twinkling titanite from now on from them.

Oh wow, this weapon looks fun! What's the scaling tho?
yeah.... yeah :/
that kinda just hit me fighting the last boss. That, and the reason why I usually summon is just because, I dont have patience. I just dont care anymore, the repetition of running back to the boss just kills the game to me. I havent summoned yet on the last boss, but im having no fun at all anymore. I just want the game to be over, which is never a good place to be in.
He doesnt even seem particulary hard, im just doing stupid mistakes, drinking when I shouldnt, etc. And the more I retry, the more I dont want to play this anymore. Im not even angry I just want to move on to something else lol. Its no wonder I never play NG+ in these games

but not sure where to go next. I read online maybe
No idea how to get to him though
yhorm and abyss
aldrich?
So far it's D on STR and D on DEX (at +5). So it wouldn't suprise me if it ends up at C when you don't use a heavy gem.
as a heavy glaive +4 it's C str
I imagine it'll go up to at least B
the moveset and range is what makes it great, though.
