Onikiri and Ubadachi is the most fun weapon in the world.

Is there anything important regarding Covenants, or trophies in the High Wall of Lorthic?

 

[robotzombie]

Are onikiri and ubadachi a worthwhile end game weapon for pve? I think I finally found what I want to go with, hopefully they are a good weapon

Edit: hahaha well that's good to know ^

Dude. It's so much fun to use, and just DEMOLISHES.

 

[Primethius]

Man, the enemy tracking in this game is INSANE.

Jesus.

Nice, how are your stats using them? Quality, STR?

 

[LiK]

I'm currently at the final boss and the Butcher's Knife served me well through the whole game. If you like the moveset keep using it.

Great weapon to farm with for the speed but I need to upgrade it more.

 

[TemplaerDude]

Give it a heavy gem, gets A scaling, it is fairly quick and hits hard.

Zomg, A scaling? Yeah, that sounds great!

Yup. Hasn't gotten me killed, but it's a bit of an annoyance.

It has definitely got me a few times, it's really easy to fuck it up with keyboard and mouse. I would love a toggle on it, my sword and board character ain't sneaking up on anyone.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

60 Dex, and I infused it with a Sharp Gem.

 

[E92 M3]

Jesus.

For some enemies, yes, but others just have charge ups where people dodge too early.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Must kill host for the item right? Or can you just kill regular enemies?

If you invade, you get the item by killing the host OR killing all his phantoms while leaving the host alive. I'm not sure what is considered a win if you put your white soapstone sign down. Killing regular enemies is not enough, but maybe you can get an item if you help the host kill invaders?

100% yes.

Completely viable in PVE and PVP.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

- Always stay embered
- Always summon any moundmaker you can

Sounds like a pretty fun challenge run for a second playthrough.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Holy fuck, after about 10 attempts I FINALLY beat by far the most difficult boss in the game so far,

Spoiler

Pontiff Sulyvahn.

I'm still shocked I beat him, actually. I felt underleveled and overwhelmed by his ridiculous onslaught of attacks and annoying second phase, but I fucking did it, man. Feels damn good.

Disappointing that I was rarely invaded solo...guess this is the best way to counter that.

Dark Souls 2 was so much worse that I barely notice it in this game.

 

[The perfect Dark]

My only complaint: This game is really short. It's probably the shortest game in the series. The areas are too small, you can often reach the boss in seconds if you want. But I think it's also very replayable because of this. Oh well, I don't want it to end but the areas seem to get shorter and I'm probably almost near the end :/

How much do I have left after the dancer?

 

[Dez_]

NG+.

Damn it. Oh well, I've been playing fine without it, so I'll just have to deal. Thanks.

Depending on optional areas you missed, you're about 80-90% done.

The last area is pretty damn long at the very least.

Damn, I knew it :/

Edit: I'm going to revist past areas before finishing the game, maybe I've missed some items.

Maybe I should just create a separate DEX character. What are the best DEX weapons to use throughout the game?

If I'm remembering right, you have 5 or 6 bosses to go if you're going to do all the optional areas. Two large areas and 3 mandatory bosses to go otherwise.

I immediately went and bought the armor after that battle.

You can get the Uchigatana almost immediately after starting the game. I used that until I got the dual katanas.

His second form was non existent for me.

I just used my pyro spell on him as soon as he goes into his second phase and his shadow instantly dies

Damn dude, I'm 28 hours in and apparently only about half way through so I strongly disagree with this statement!

Optional area.

In the area behind the

[Primethius]

Armor. Particularly the Dancer helmet on the Artorias chest.

 

[StaffyManasse]

I immediately went and bought the armor after that battle.

I almost did, but I like my "Winter is coming" style too much.

(sorry about the phone pic, too busy playing)

Where is it? It's so long ago I can't remember.

the helm is quite nice. Didn't think it would match with other sets much. Will try it out.

 

[zewone]

To the left of Firelink Shrine, there's a hollow with a katana up the stairs.

Kill him to drop it.

I've been using Dancer Helm, Fire Witch Armor, and Painted Guardian Waistcloth. Combines nicely.

Oh yeah, forgot about that guy. The Uchigitana seems like a good weapon to use whilst I'm searching for something else I like the look of. Thanks!

I'm torn between that & the Fallen Knight armor, mainly because it looks so Bloodborne-esque.

 

[McBryBry]

So currently rolling quality (strength at 28, believe DEX is at 29 or 30 and growing)

I've been rolling with the Greatsword+10, infused to have a C in both stats and it's doing a pretty damn good job. However, I'm curious on other weapons that work well with this setup. Any recommendations? Literally up for anything.

I feel like I've wasted precious titanite shards on weapons I don't use. I'm SL50 and just beat the

I'm using the Fallen Knight armor because of how it looks mainly. Love it.

I don't know for sure yet, but I've heard shards drop like candy later in the game.

 

[LiK]

I liked Fallen Knight armor as well. The embers look cool animating on the cape.

Don't worry about it.

You can eventually purchase unlimited shards, large shards, and chunks.

What the hell is up with these gank squads? Is this normal for PVP? Multiple times I invade a world with 3 people waiting for me and other invaders.
