Here, I quoted it for the new page. Funny story.

Praise the Sun!
You're my hero! Thank you!

 

[kagamin]

It is literally useless. Literally.

As a caestus user, I'd say it works as intended. :3

 

[Head of Vengarl]

The worst feeling in this game is when you've spent hours combing a level for all the items, hidden paths, etc., and there's 1 item left on a roof that you can't figure out how to get to.

Praise the Sun!
You're my hero! Thank you!

Anyone want to help me with @ old wings antechamber? I'm having a hard time...

Spoiler

spair me the "git good"

Also help me with parry, I cannot get the hang of it with the delay, only souls I've played in blood borne and it just seems I can't parry unless I know ALL the enemy moves, in bb I could parry b/c most initial moves were easy to time.. =(

Old wings?

Are you using a small shield? They a better window for parrying.

 

[jimmyd]

I just had a game crash on PS4, exactly at the moment that I summoned a second NPC phantom for the first boss. Is this a known bug? Never seen anything like it before!

Happened to me on PC, I think I read about it in one of the patch notes maybe?

 

[BlackSalad]

using a crest shield, the way I play I figured 100% block was the way to go

I'd love to get some voice w/ gaf so I can improve

 

[Tarkus]

Nameless King is definitely the fight of the game.

 

[DealWithIt]

Buckler is definitely the way to go shield wise for any encounter where you need a parry

 

[Dimmle]

Blue smelter?

Any Smelter but Blue especially. ): Fume Knight also put me through my paces.

How is the parry window for Caestus?

 

[LogicStep]

My new character hasn't been summoned once for the blue sentinels. Wtf man, I'm gonna have to end up farming this stuff. Not just that, I'm sure it would be super fun to be summoned to defend hosts from invaders.

Anybody having issues wiht PS4 version disconnecting them? Internet is fine, but I keep getting booted.

These covenants never work

 

[Hentailover]

Well, I give up on Nameless king. I get to his second phase in got state with good amout of estus. Game disconnects me. I don't want to keep bashing my head against the wyvern, it's annoying to fight because I can never tell how far away I am from its head.

 

[silva1991]

I think it's intentional as there is no other reason to have a 2nd crow nest directly below unless they expected someone to get there without the key.

I really doubt that is a glitch since there is no other reason for you to be able to exchange stuff from the lower area

After million tries I finally did it >.>

I haven't played this game in ages and my jump timing was off.

 

[burgerdog]

Blue smelter?

Blue Smelter tore me up, I consider myself a very good Souls player, but man. That boss gave me so much trouble. I was raging hard.

 

[Bumbletron]

Old wings?

I assume he is talking about the Old King's Antechamber bonfire.

As far as parrying, I've always found the side swipe of a plain leather shield to be the best and most consistent method of parrying for me.

blue Smelter and his Iron Passage are still spanking people's asses. I love it.

Yeah It happens a lot to me. Not sure if there's anything to do about it.

[Deleted member 17706]

NOpe, DS 2 had the easiest bosses of all three games. Not one boss in DS2 gave me trouble for more than 5 minutes, Darklurker the exception. The rest could be done without losing any health were one prepared to learn the attacks well enough. THis game, a no health run is hard with the stats you share...(which means your harder bosses are yet to come in end game) the pontiff stabs arbitrarily and faster than any boss previous...its like Fume on steroids. A lot of poeple based their difficulty of certain bosses not taking into consideration that leveling and weapon attack power makes a difference. SOme poeple can parry pontiff sulyvan in 2 parries and its over..so its an "easy" boss, but if you go full melee, no parries and no shield solo with a plus 6 weapon like you said, it will be demonstrably tougher first try....this is my fifrst real attempt after feeling it out in multipayer a couple times.

I'm destroying my PC run of Dark Souls III. I sucked and used a ton of summons on PS4, but I'm just kicking ass this time around.

I've one-tried all of the bosses except Aldrich and Nameless King, which took only three tries each.

Most of the bosses in Dark Souls II are stupidly easy and many of them are rather uninteresting. Some of them straight up show up as standard enemies albeit powered down a bit. With that said, I think some of the hardest bosses in the series are in DSII. Sir Alonne, Fume Knight, the Smelter Demons, etc. Hell, just about all of the DLC bosses were pretty tough.

I had a ton of fun doing that boss at Lv50 and then killed him on my first attempt on my Lv60 character. Felt good.

 

[RaySpencer]

I've been playing a new character this time a Knight (first guy was Dual Wield and Sorceries), the whole game was hilariously easy....

...then I got to some later bosses

Spoiler

Nameless King and even Cinder

are kicking my ass right now. Haha. These were a joke with my Sorceries, I soloed both on my first character really easily. Haha.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I just respeced as a Pyromancer and is a lot of fun, probably gonna do my NG++ as that.

Is also very fun to PvP, even if I didn't won that many matches, although I did won most one vs one. But only 17 Vigor, I fear NK lol

That said, it sucks so much, in DS games, to have to be with lame spells for most of the game until you get the cool ones, glad I did it this way lol.

 

[il Diavolo]

Breezing through the game right now, just finished up

Spoiler

aldritch twice (first in Anri's world then in mine)

Going to complete NG+ playthrough, hop straight into NG++ and probably halt there until the DLC drops. Getting kind of burnt out, which I didnt think would happen so soon. Doesn't help that coop continues to be broken for me. Cant summon or be summoned, a fail message just pops up. I see messages and all that still so dont know what the issue is.

Thank you!

different shield made a huge difference, I'll give up the 100% physical for 95% for sure

[NeroAngelo]

So I'm up against a Havel shield and halberd combo, and they're not just turtling behind the shield they are also backstab fishing, unsuccessfully I might add.

So I take two swings with and he tries for a backstab and that happens a few times, eventually I throw out a parry during one of his bs attempts and nail him with a riposte Down to about less than half health you'd expect that they'd try something different.

Nope, eats another parry. I use the sarcastic clap gesture, GG pal.

It is amazing how much easier this is than BB.

 

[Santiako]

It is amazing how much easier this is than BB.

I found Bloodborne way easier than any of the Souls games (this included) the dash is just extremely OP.

 

[Vena]

It is amazing how much easier this is than BB.

I think this depends on how you play. Bloodborne has some really absurdly lenient dodges and dashes and movement options, which just do not exist in Souls, so your iFrames and general avoidance are a lot worse for wear. But if you just hide behind a shield, Souls will be considerably easier (and slower).

Also I found parrying to be far easier and far less punished in Bloodborne.

 

[NHL94]

I think I am going to try a STR/FTH build. I want something "heavier" than the pure DEX build I just finished with, plus I want to throw lightning at MFers.

Any advice?

 

[MilkBeard]

i dunno about you, but Smelter Demon was a fucking bitch to fight for me.

He was probably the boss that posed the most threat in vanilla DS2, yeah. I ended up cheesing him with poison.

 

[Noray]

Smelter Demon is basically a litmus test for people who know how to dodge roll, and those who do not. Because all of his attacks are super easy to dodge, but if you try to tank his stuff with a shield, yeah, you're gonna have a bad time.

Level up strength first. Faith scaling rangs from non-existent to shit.

I've spent hours trying out different classes, still unsure what to do.
Tonight I rolled a Thief and really enjoyed the speed of the shabby shabby daggers.
I cheesed the Uchigitana with my bow and have a fire gem, not sure whether to infuse my bandit's dagger or the uchigitana.

I was thinking of maybe pumping more into luck and trying to have some shabby poison dagger action at some point, viable?

Poison is pretty weak in this game.
