I'm getting a bit frustrated with

Spoiler

the Twins

... All other bosses were okay, so far at least. But them... I'm really hitting a stone wall atm...
I get pretty well through the first phase, but after that I'm not able to find openings to do dmg to the boss.

Unrelated, but funny (hope it hasn't been posted to often already):

So the problem with Soul of Cinder is that I'm doing jack-shit in terms of damage. My damage output was enough to get me to the last boss just fine, but now it's like I'm holding a spitwad.

do i care about this havel ring/boulder toss or should i just eat the stray demon soul if i don't plan on doing ng+?

Havel's ring is pretty good if you want to wear heavier armours.

 

[ramyeon]

Fuck

Spoiler

Champion Gundyr

the guy will not get off my ass for even a second in his second phase. I have the first phase down to a T but as soon as he transitions I just lose it.

I got annoyed with them too - by far the hardest boss up till that point. I beat them by summoning whats-her-name, blocking and circling (I had the Dragon Crest Shield). Normally I don't bother blocking for boss fights but it really helped here.

 

[Lux R7]

The Black Knight Halberd is back to its old moveset, so its pretty good, but you get super late

Well, it's hard, but you can get it before the undead settlement in theory.

 

[Ferr986]

Yep, big N is hard. Biggest problem for me is trying to hit him in a place he gets hurt. I keep missing like a sucker.

Now i have to try and get it before Undead Settlement and do a playthrough with it!

All i have to do is beat

Spoiler

Dance and Oceiros

at SL 20 or so!

 

[prodystopian]

I'm progressing pretty quickly through NG+ with my main character, a dex katana build. I want to start a new magic/dark/pyro character. Does anyone have recommendations for good early/mid/late game weapons for a character focused on int?

Yep, so many whiffs with the dark sword but I have it heavy +10 so don't want to switch to something else.

 

[comshoplesce]

Any good guide?

I'd be interested as well
Though I'm probably going to make some stupid builds just for fun like whip and soldering iron

I'm trying a completely different approach atm. I'm two handing fume and doing dmg to both of them with one hit... Will see if this will work out in the end. But I'll keep your tactic in mind, thx. But I doubt I'll be able to summon her... as she is a bit unsatisfied with some of my decision in the past... typical WOMAN!

It's the church across from Voldt's bonfire in high lothric, the building where you got the banner you needed to get to Undead Settlement.

Thank you!

 

[comshoplesce]

will save this.

 

[ramyeon]

Guys, I'm at my breaking point with C

Spoiler

hampion Gundyr.

I think I've died more to this boss than any Souls boss ever. He just will not give me any breathing room in the second phase at all. So close to throwing in the towel and summoning.

Don't give up. Try parrying his polearm attacks.

Complaining on GAF helps every time.

Finally beat him just as I was about to give up. Holy shit, my heart is racing.

Is it possible to beat whilest staying at PVP meta of 100-110ish SL?

I beat NG at 50 and wasn't hard pressed except on the Nameless King and I'm not that great at the game. It should be very doable.

 

[AllenShrz]

I just finished today....

What a game! Loved it, the NK was by far the best fight, I'll remember it as one of DS best.

 

[Moff]

It's weird, I felt the last few bosses in NG were balanced around level 90 to 100. but now in NG+ I am just walking thorugh, it's so much easier. I reached illyhtrilli now

 

[ramyeon]

That's why we are here

What would I do without you guys?

Spoiler

So I got the Firekeeper Eyes and as far as I've heard they unlock an ending. At the moment I'm en route for the Yuria/Hollow ending... If I hand these over am I going to mess that up? Or can I upload my save and get both from one play through at the end?

Definitely possible. NG++ can be little trickier at that level but still should be doable.

NG+ in this one doesn't feel like the leap in difficulty it has been in previous games, at least in my opinion.

I should hit NG++ today, need to collect all those +1 rings first though!

 

[arnehelst]

Try increasing min page file (or page file all together)

I'll give it a try. Thanks!

 

[Forkball]

Where pray tell?

 

[Menome]

Where pray tell?

In High Wall of Lothric:

Spoiler

Kill Emma in the room directly opposite and up the stairs from the Vordt boss. This will trigger the Dancer boss-battle.

Defeat them, and progress to the Consumed King's Garden, rush through to Oceiros and defeat him too.

The Black Knight Halberd is just beyond the boss-room.

 

[Empty Space]

Where pray tell?

I would not click on those spoilers it is highly impractical for someone to do on their first run.

 

[Rodin]

NG+, i'm in

Spoiler

Irithyll

and

Spoiler

Pontiff Sulyvahn

wrecked me 6-7 times. I almost killed him using Eleonora, but he got me in the end. Is he THAT much stronger than in normal mode? I don't remember having any problem with him during the first run. The funny thing is that i got killed here more than in any other area in NG+ up to this point, where enemies simply couldn't touch me (especially after i went in "easy mode"... yes, i started using the FUGS, just for fun lol).

 

[myco666]

And all rings obtained. So close to finishing with these trophies.

just unlock the option for (actually) two endings. If you still want the

you're free to do so

All of them?!

nuts

I just need 13 more Wolf Glass for a ring and then finish the game to get a certain ending


The farming for Proofs of Concord kept was insane!

 

[myco666]

Yup. All 107(?) rings.

 

[Tak3n]

Dragon slayer shield is fantastic. That special move. Also I have a weird bug. When I respawn all 4 toxin tables appear and then dissapear

You probably have a ring or another item that gives you resistance to the toxins

I just take the shortcut elevator from The Dancer bonefire then go right to the 2nd shortcut elevator to the right of that.

I put my sign down outside its door, but was never summoned.

Good question.
Depending how you explored stuff, and what bosses you've done before the

Dragonslayer Armor

as there are some branching paths...
I'd say 70-80% done.

 

[Taruranto]

Replaying the game with a new chara is kinda souring my enjoyment of the game a little. The linearity really become obvious.

No stuff like "Do I take Blightown shortcut?" or "In which order do I tackle Majula?", kinda of a bummer. It doesn't help that both High Wall and The Undead Settlement are among my least favorite areas.

 

[pa22word]

Just beat ng+. Now on to cov stuffs

Mound makers seem really fun thus far. All the chaos can make for some really interesting scenarios.

Just equip way of blue for an extra phantom.
