By far the toughest fight for me has been C
hampion Gundy round 2
. Christ. Beat him but it took a good 20 or so minutes.

He just hits so hard and it took me a bit to read his attacks.

I spent most of my game unembered, so I went back to fight all the NPC invasions I missed but none will spawn anymore. Is this because I beat the bosses in the areas? Do I have to redo them in NG+?

Same thing... I went embered for a quest and realized the kind of drops I missed out by not having NPC invasions, it's pretty lame. I wish it was like DS2, they'd invade you hollowed or not.

Is the
Storm Ruler
worth upgrading? Seems like a pretty light great sword (which is great for me)
Click to expand...
I'd say no just for the 10 durability alone.

Quick question

So I beat a mob boss in
the church with the two giants. I go up a lift and head down some stairs and see the Onion Knight. I start to walk across then he flips a switch, takes off his helmet, blah blah blah, thinks he killed me, but Giants were already dead blah blah blah.

My question is, where is the switch to raise that particular gate? I see two other switches that raise two other gates, but not a third.

I'm kinda miffed that curved greatswords don't really shine as sharp, but I beat the game using warden twinblades, then manikin claws, paintingguardian sword, and ricard's rapier. Absolutely wrecking most invaders, though, even with next to ZERO range with painting guardian sword.

Is the
Firelink Greatsword
worth using in NG+ once upgraded? Because holy shit it just melted every enemy even unupgraded in NG I tried it on so far.

I can see this being my GOTY and it's only April.

Same thing happened last year with Bloodborne.

No other games get me addicted like the Souls ones. What is it about them? I just can't put my finger on it.

I haven't done a lot of pvp in this game, so sorry if this is a dumb question, but how come none of those 4 are phantoms? How come they all have the normal look?
Click to expand...

They're using the
Untrue Dark
Ring. It removes your phantom glow and makes you appear to be the host, complete with "Host of Embers" title.

It's particularly fun for MM covenant shenanigans, along with other rings like the
Obscuring
Ring (you're almost invisible past 25 or so feet) and the
Untrue White
Ring (you appear as a white phantom).

Oh man I had no idea they affected multiplayer like this!
Hahaha no wonder I had a invader run around like crazy avoiding me

are there any weapons that scale to S in STR or DEX or is A the highest?
Click to expand...
Fume ultra greatsword should scale to S once fully upgraded
Str that is.

Felt like a game on its own, it has lots of secrets and the shortcuts are rather brilliant, thus eliminating the need of bonfires everywhere. This is closest to classic souls.

You got that right. Whats everyone doing with the Hollowing? I have ignored it and think maybe I should go for the 5 free levels

Hey, SoulsGAF. Looking for a little bit of advice. I'm running a dex character and have been using the standard rapier since I picked it up in the beginning. I'm currently on my way to fight the D
eacons
and I'm wondering what weapons are out there that would be good to try? Dex weapons obviously, I like fast weapons, too. But I'm just not familiar with all of the weapons in DS3 so far. What do you all suggest I try to pick up and use? What's looking strong?

For that fight, I recommend using the Great Scythe. One handed R2 is very useful.

it is not as bad as it seems, you're over leveled for it anyway.

Cool, I'll definitely give it a try. Any suggestion for a full time replacement to the rapier? I just feel like its not a weapon that will carry me all the way through. (I guess any weapon could, but you get it)

No, you've just unlocked the ability to get a second ending.
if you answer her question it puts you on the extinguish the flame quest path,

Estoc, very similar but its R2 is good for crowds.
Uchigatana, good speed and bleed
Maybe try curved swords?
And I haven't used them but
Warden
Twinblades are supposed to be good.

I currently use the Uchi, with Great Scythe as backup. But I have been playing around with the Estoc recently. I haven't discovered anything else that is better than the Uchi (i my opinion) right now.

Oh man! As expected, I'm head over heals in love with the latest Souls game!
So well made, and such a love letter to the whole series and its sibling games!

I made some new designs dedicated to its greatness!
What do you guys think?
Cheers! :)

Omg, these are so amazing. I'd pay good money for the first one on a t-shirt. Also, I'd love an avatar version of that one.
