use a fast weapon...I was having major difficulties with him until I switched to the Chaos Blade...he's still hard but not brutal like before...also roll into him when he flies in the air and roll away if his attacks become too much
Man, reached the portion of the game where the difficulty begins to scale up. Absolutely loving it.. First true souls experience at launch, came to From at bloodborne.
Find the bosses to be a little underwhelming compared to those in bloodborne. Combat generally more fun in DS3 because of build opportunity. Crushed that this will be the last game in this mold if rumors are right.

Eh, I doubt 40 dex is needed, Warden's don't scale too well. Think it'd be better getting 40 end and/or vit first. Then again I am no expect.
Warden's with high luck, hollow + carthus rouge are beastly though. Love them in PvP
I somehow managed to get 8 Proofs of a Concord Kept within an hour. I wasn't even trying either, I was just progressing through L
C
as a Blade of the Darkmoon and kept being summoned.
However, I had a password on from a GAFfer helping me earlier with N
K
... it was "NGAF". Would that affect the summoning? I ask this because the majority of times I was summoned, it was to C
W
and the same host, and the same invader was invading three times.

This is a weird way to say "I haven't 'gotten gud.'" The area you choose will make a big difference in what kind of fight you end up in. I found invasions in the undead settlement to be very one sided in favor of the host.
I will say, that every time I lose my ember I do an invasion to get it back, and I have gotten generally decent odds in my fights most places.
If you want to fight a duel use a red sign soapstone.

To be fair you can still get picked up by groups of phantoms intentionally camping the signs. There's still a luck element to it.

I'm not going for the platinum until they rework summoning or increase drop rates.

Yeah, but would you agree that it is significantly rarer to meet a gank squad that way?

Did anyone else know this was possible?

Skip to 1:30 if you can't stand this guy in general.

Instead of saying get good (aka being useless) and not giving actual advice (being useless again) don't say anything.
I don't invade much (because it's a shitty lagfest) so I would not know where to invade. The wiki is useless for mostly everything and asking here most likely would get skipped over.

Yhorm's Great Machete vs. Fume Ultra Greatsword: What's better or more powerful?
Sanctuary
Member
That's hilarious. In the initial video, I kept asking myself why he wasn't trying to parry the more obvious attacks (but because of who it is...).

Has anyone else beaten the game and not had an ending trophy pop? Did I do something wrong?
One of the four possible endings does not pop a trophy. Maybe that's why?
Fume Ultra was nerfed in the last update - I'm rocking a mixture of the Great Machete (+3) and the Butchers Knife (+10) which both seem to be working pretty well as and when required.
Knife for fast R1 actions, Yhorm's for bigger longer-wind up enemies.
Here's hoping they rebalance the FUG in the next patch actually because right now its not powerful enough for its stats hence Yhorm's Machete.
My STR is at 50 and DEX at 30 btw.

NG+ has been stupidly easy, unfortunately.
I'm curious - when you beat the game the first time (i'm nearly done) - does it give the option to go into NG or can you choose to remain in your current playthrough to backtrack to areas where i might have missed items?

I'll freely admit: I'm not good enough to beat 3 decent players at the same time. Guess I'll keep practicing.
You can enter NG at anytime at the Firelink Shrine bonfire. It gives you the option "Begin Journey 2". You can stay in your current cycle as long as you want.
Thanks!

The difficulty spike you're expecting never really comes. SoC was slightly more difficult, but that's about it
Yea, i gave up of ng+ on my knight :/ too easy, it's boring.
Playing on my Pyromancer, loving it.
NG+ does seem easier, although my fight with the Sword Master near Firelink Shrine was still quite challenging and fun. That guy is a beast.

There are times when you have hitbox like that but then you have something like Sulyvahn Beast.

Feels good beating Abyss Watchers all by myself. I have no idea what to do next.
Have to agree, NG+ on DSII actually added some new gear and enemies and changed up bosses a bit. Hard to get excited about a +1 on a ring. Having more fun trying new runs with alt builds than NG+.

I don't think I have ever seen a weapon as sexy as the Profaned Greatsword, holy shit that thing is a sexy thing.
Goddamn. Do you folks have any idea whether it is a good thing to upgrade for my currently Strength 40 / Dex 15 build....?

Just had some weird error where the game summoned a Blademoon for me without any invader. I'm actually not embered at the moment. He got summoned in, and then the game immediately sent him home after he ran to me. However, I did have an invader that ambushed me at an enemy earlier that killed me. I think there was such an extreme amount of lag that the game took that long to summon the Blademoon. So weird.
Knowing this, there could be some element of delay that is causing a lot of people to not get summoned. If the system is that laggy.

Looks like a pretty regular greatsword weapon moveset to me. As for whether 40/15 is viable, if you're going for a STR build or want to balance it out for quality (40STR/DEX), 40/15 is fine.
60 is the cap for any build that is only using one stat (STR/DEX/LCK/etc.), 40/40 is the cap for any build using two stats (40 INT/FTH, 40 STR/DEX, etc.)

Man that first area in R
of S
up until the first bonfire is brutal. Made it most of the way through then the caster transformed three enemies at once who mobbed and annihilated me. Managed to get through it on my second try but had to use a bow and arrow to take him out from a distance. He still transformed his buddies, but in their rush to get to me a bunch of them fell off a cliff and saved me some work.
I then partook in my first ever red soapstone duel. Summoned a red phantom and fought him near the bonfire. I lost, but it was a close match and I enjoyed it. I may try a few more, but the lag was pretty horrendous. It was hard to tell when I was going to connect with a swing and when I was going to get hit.
I also finally maxed out Yoel's schtick. Not really sure what his deal is but I read some spoiler-free articles and it appears it's linked to an ending? Seems intriguing. I noticed that he called me
just now. Not really sure where this is going, but I have some theories. I'm guessing this leads to a
, so I'm debating whether or not to follow through with it.
Anyway in non-serious news, I came across this during my travels today:
Now I feel like making a joke character on my next run haha. Maybe Bob from Accounting?

My friends and I are sad we don't all play on the same console, we wanted to do the ninja turtles and have people invade us in the catacombs
Ever since I got an SSD my games on PC have loaded extremely quickly, usually instantly (3 seconds or less). Have a 512GB Samsung SSD - use it for the OS and for games, while I store other media like video on regular HDDs. I got it mostly for modding and digital artwork, as Skyrim was taking 30 seconds or longer with my mods (I load hundreds) - it's now around 5 seconds - Photoshop loads most things in a few seconds as well now.
