you can summon an NPC if you go the other way, if you kill all the enemies with him on your way to the top and do the gesture with him you progress the dragon questline.
Farming is the last thing I will do to get those. I've already farmed Proofs, Human Dregs and Swordgrass. Don't really want to add more hours to farming clock when I could be done with it in few minutes.
I'm at 40 STR and 31 DEX. Is that not fairly high?
Ohhh, thanks.

Then yeah something in C scaling of both compared to A+D should still win.

is no joke. Giving me the hardest time of any boss by far. The combos are brutal and the room is too small. Get stuck on things too often trying to dodge and get rekt.

Except it doesn't get that high.

The highest any scaling goes is a B in either Dex or str. It gets A's in Int and Faith, but I have no points in those, and the base damage goes way, way down.
Man, I am so disillusioned with the guts sword. It has NOTHING going for it except it's sheer base damage, and I bet I can get higher than that with other greatswords.
I think I might go farm for the Cathedral Greatsword like was my original plan.

Chance it coulda been lag.
It usually doesn't bother me too much, until it happened one time I got summoned to help with a boss fight and myself and the other summon did enough damage to kill the thing twice and none of it registered.
Not normal but it happens. Probably a lag issue.

Ah, thought it might have been some weird item or covenant thing but yeah probably just lag then, thanks!

The Greatsword must have really low C+C scaling then, because that the first time I've seen that. The Astora Great sword get B+B with refined so maybe go with that.
Holy shit I love this game so much. I'm much more into it than ds1. I just beat

Almost 35 hours in, level 89 I believe, I'm at
only had one shot at it so far and managed to get to phase 2 with it. Phase 2 looked pretty rediculous though.
would love to hear some tips for when I get off work and get back on. I can't stop exploring in this game
the Elder/Younger Brothers.
Dodge magic attacks as well as teleporting melee.

Quick question about NG+ without any boss spoilers. Is this like DKS2 where you can choose to enter NG+ or is it right after the final boss?

You can choose.

You can choose.
Can't. It's either this or Cathedral Greatsword. Astora Greatsword looks great, but it's too thin.
I'm very highly adamant about keeping to the aesthetics of the character I built, so I only use particular weapons until I finish this playthrough, and then I'm going for everything else.

Cross post. I absolutely love invading U
. The atmosphere is perfect for the hunt.

there are only two magic attacks. The first is a bunch of homing orbs followed by the teleport melee so just run/roll away from that. The second is a charged projectile which will follow up after lorians charged projectile so just roll both. Essentially just play like phase 1 for lorians attacks and focus on avoiding lothrics magic instead of attacking

Yup!
Yuria keeps telling me to
I'm not a sorcery build, but do I have to do this?
Also, anybody know where this gif is?

Also, anybody know where this gif is?
The fact the dude was fists only makes me suspect hack but maybe not. I've come across one definite cheater in my whole time with PvP. He was summoning reds as if for a fight club and then one-shotting them with a crossbow. He also had infinite health. It was kind of hilarious actually but I hope it doesn't become a big problem.
Thanks.

You actually don't need to summon the npc. I didn't and I was able to get the items.
This is glorious. I'm surprised he got around to gesturing, I would have been on the floor.

Boss tips:
focus on avoiding the Magic the younger brother uses, he doesn't fire them too often and then you can get back to focusing the elder brother. He has the same moveset he did in phase 1. When you down the older focus on killing the younger or else he'll Rez the elder again

No takers?

Ok Gaf.
Explain Scaling for me. In retard terms.
I have a weapon that is for example 100 dmg base nothing else.
A scaling strength. D everything else.
How damage differnce per point attributed to strength is the difference?
Is it A 3 points dmg per point?
B = 2 C = 1.
How does it work? What percentage off the weapon.

Wat? Greatsword is great, high base dmg and good c/c scaling, I'd imagine it almost doubles the base damage at 40/40. Great moveset, amazing reach. Cathedral Greatsword is lighter and more strenght oriented but otherwise worse in every way.

Haven't played online in so long because my reliance on PS4's Rest Mode. Seemed pretty fun first time out, I might make an effort to reconnect each time.
Eh, why not. What platform?
No you don't.
Nothing happens if you don't do it, her quest line still continues just fine. You get a weapon if you give her his ashes though.
For most of the game, sure. It does absolutely stupid damage to enemies (especially if you're hilariously overleveled like me)
But I'm at the final stretch, and the enemies have simply been too fast for it and they're tough enough that they can take a few hits from it. The only thing it's got going for it is reach and power. Everything else, the slowness, the recovery time, the high stamina cost, doesn't stagger much, and it's all killing me here, often literally. I haven't tried the normal swords, but from what I hear, they do marginally less damage fully upgraded and scaled, with a lot more benefits in other areas. I wanted to do a Guts build, and I'll see it through, but for a series that's so clearly heavily inspired by Berserk it's handicapped by the fact that they didn't incorperate is that Guts is a lightning fast motherfucker even with that sword. for me, I'm just over it at this point.
Good thing about Cathedral sword is that with a higher scaling in STR, and virtually no scaling in DEX, I might be able to get more out of it with a heavy gem and a stat respec.
Also, is there any way to sheath the sword on your back other than using a bow? I like putting my sword away when I'm not using it.
