What would be better for a bleed build; Warden Twinblades or Anri's Sword?

Both would be hollow-infused (and luck ~40) and lathered with Carthus Rouge

>Make Casca
>get invaded
Every time

>it's a naked host that dies to the boss in one hit episode

Where do I find Anri post game?

I killed Yuria and Horace.

Is the Moonlight Greatsword good in this game?

Can you have a +10 weapon in your storage box and still invade +0 to +4 with a +2 in your inventory?

>tfw not sure if I should go for +10 or not for ~85 meta and invasions

I don't want to regret it if I do

someone tell me how to play as a mound maker

whenever i invade it's either a gank squad or like 3 other reds trying to kill the host, but as soon as i show up everyone guns for me

i just want my shackles yo

You need to kill another if you want to save her.

As long as you have upgraded to +10, you're marked.

>put sign outside vordt for easy ember farming
>fags who want to sequence break but won't man up and solo dancer keep summoning me and running back
>black crystal
Literally stop wasting peoples' time especially when you dumbasses get one shot grabbed. If I wanted to help with dancer I'd put my sign over there.

Weapons are on your permanent record, so to speak. Having one, ever, moves you to that tier

Why did this guy die? Why did he die at Anal Londo last playthrough? Does he want his level back? How did this message get 1k goods? Why do I have all these questions?

New thread means it's time for waifu shitposting power hour!

Post your waifus!
Rate others!

You never really appreciate waifufags until you realize just how hard it is to make one.

POST YFW YOU RANG THE BELL

>MFW

Sorry, what?

So what are the best rings for a quality build?

>Have 20/20 STR/DEX
>Claymore +4 does 246 dmg
>Astora GS +4 does 249 dmg
UGS buff when? This is silly.

So any point going to NG+ besides the rings? At what NG do the changes to the game stop?

Are there even any changes besides better rings and more souls?

Any hidden weapons? I assume the entire game has been datamined already so no.

Which one of you is this?

>someone tell me how to play as a mound maker
>decide how you're going to play, how helpful you will be, if you will do cheap shit like backstabs, etc
>gain the trust of the host and phantoms by any means necessary
I am usually pretty bro as a MM but I've seen some real dumb cocksuckers

85 meta is +10. Most people have +7 weapons by the time they're level 60 or so.

Whoever made irithyll dungeon should get fired and become unhirable for any other dev team because this shit reeks of DaS2

OKAY SO like i can steamroll through dark souls but does anyone else think dark souls 3 combat is actually fucking hard? like i'm fucking struggling in highwall?? the knight dudes have like infinite stamina and just chain hits on me if im blocking, they have fucking retarded attack range and do a shit ton of damage, and the parry timing is so weird compared to dark souls 1?

YOU WILL

No
NG+7
No
You can combine both of the Princes' weapons into one if you've got both souls but otherwise, no

Twinblades get to 41 bleed with 40 luck. If you go hollow infusion and are hollowed yourself, don't level luck past 35.
They R2 + R1 combo builds a lot of bleed, so if you can land L1+L1+L2+R2 it's guaranteed bleed.
The problem is they have a really small range and it's hard to get in on people during PvP where they can just wildly swing UGSwords and connect from miles away.
For PvE the twinblades are amazing. I finished the game with them.

Can +10 reach down to +7?

Thought it's strictly -+2

Evert time you level up from him you get a "darksign", every time you die you gain a point of "hollowing" for every darksign you have, you get level ups at certain hollowing increments, he dies after 5 level ups no matter where you are in the game.

>Irithyll Dungeon
>That bad
Why because of the jailers, the only enemy who at that point of the game poses any threat to you?

I'd rather if the lazy asses who made Consumed King's Garden/Smoldering Lake got fired instead.

Don't parry. R1.

Best place to invade on sl 20 with +2 weapon?

Undead Settlement

>spent an hour making waifu
>wears helmet 90% of the time

One of the few games where I prefer to wear helmets in.

You already got your buff, stop fucking whining.

He also dies if you beat the Abyss Watchers

settlement, cruxi wood, swamp, cathedral of the deep
can do catacombs too, fun place for invading

Undead Settlement/Road of Sacrifices

No. I think anything above +6 becomes +/- 3.

Greatswords got buffed, yes. I'm talking about Ultra Greatswords.

Hrm.

I'm looking to co-op in Smouldering Lake / Demon Ruins and Irithyll. I'm not getting a lot of summons at all at SL40. What's the best SL / weapon range for these areas?

Is this per character?

Just roll through their attacks silly

I've noticed I take a shitton of damage on my knight character, I just fought ancient wyvern.

Are you supposed to level up vit for anything other than equip load? You get defense naturally through other stats right?

FIGHTCLUB PS4
FOOT OF THE HIGH WALL BONFIRE

SL 71-111

NO PASSWORD

>Can't infuse catalysts this time around
FROM's hate-boner for magic is depressing.
It almost feels personal, like the team all played quality builds and set out to make every other class complete shit.

I beat the Abyss Watchers, also
>Dying

What happens now that he's dead? I've seen people saying his sister shows up but I can't find her in Firelink

Are you taking that from the wiki?
I heard some people here say that's not true.

But I don't know either.

Fuck I wish From would just tell you god dammit

Nose looks a little small on that character.

>Any hidden weapons? I assume the entire game has been datamined already so no.

Twincest Greatsword, which has the power of light and fire

But that's all

what are these messages talking about at the bottom of the cavern where the big ballista is shooting at you?
there are a few messages saying 'sadness ahead'
is it an old area that I'm just not recognizing?

also how can you tell how good messages are?
If I rate a message as poor its appraisals still go up by 1, the same as if I rated it as good
Is that how its supposed to be working?

Nvm, I'm wrong. 1-4 can fight 2 levels below 2 above
5-7 can fight 2 below 3 above

PC? I'll co-op with you

What enemies MUST be killed without phantoms?

Is it just Gundyr? I want to make Mahatma Gandhi.

Hey ~

lame desu. Guess I'll speedrun for the better rings and twin princes greatsword though.

>Is this per character?
No, if you upgrade to +10 on one guy and then start a new character you can get invaded in High Wall by SL100 reds with +10 weapons.

...

Refine it, stop going quality, or switch to a straight sword.

Y'think so? I might take a look at that later. She looked like a jew in character creation if her nose was any bigger than that.

I'll join in as well if it's pc, i've nothing better to do since pvp is already stale.

Okay, thanks for the info. Nice to finally do a bleed run, I wanted to do one in DaS1 but bleeding was kinda bunk in that. DaS2 I got to do poison which was a lot of fun so nice to see bleed get its time to shine

Still wish poison was viable though

Looking for help on Dancer. Low level. Been getting nothing but shitters who don't know about their roll button.

>aldrich faithful
>failed to join session
>failed to invade
>rinse and repeat

what am i missing here?

wait, what happens if you ring the bell?

I tried hitting it with my sword a few times, didn't connect and carried on going without a thought.

>Favourite Souls Game
>Second Favourite Souls Game
>Least Favourite Souls Game

Please respond.

Holy shit I didn't even look, with 1.04 they NERFED soul greatsword and farron flashsword?
I saw the names patchnotes, but I just assumed they'd buffed it.
What the absolute fuck are these guys smoking?

...

>tfw I'm not feeling my sorcery build anymore
What should I do? I did a strength greatsword build my first run through.
I'm playing a qt

Not now, more as a general thing. Not sure what SL range is ideal. Sorry for not being clear.

>Invade someone
>they summon a dark spirit
>that dark spirit then proceeds to defend the host while he just clears the area.

What the hell is this?

horace is there on anri's quest and you need to kill him, whether he is hollow or is showing his true colours is up for debate

after completing anri's quest (not the dark lord ending) she makes a shrine here and tries to kill you if you return

>tfw you parry riposte the host with your hornet ring + BKGA
is there any greater feel when it's a one hit kill?

NPC interactions happen there, if you're on their quest line.

Yes. Only the poster gets to know how much everybody hates him.

Everything went better than expected.

If I'm hostin, then I'm going to use a dried finger to make it more fun.

Undead Settlement. If you invade the swamp, you'll be fucked into level 30 hosts, and there's a LOT more phantoms there. Also, if you invade into a ganksquad and they already killed the fat bitch next to the burning tree, just crystal out.

>tfw every time Yorshka says "Off so soon?" you feel bad and don't want to leave.

Can bleed infused weapons be buffed?

I don't like any souls game. I just play them to fit in with the gamer crowd.

Summons the nameless king.

Dark Spirit, or Mad Spirit?

>just says performance adjustments
Suppose we can assume that's nerfed from now on.

5 hours and 1.4 millions souls later, I finally have the last 20 proofs I need to rank up in the Darkmoons.

finished up the last one for tonight

I'll probably be around tomorrow the same time to do more. :)
It's just for fun, I used to do these a couple of years ago for some /dsg/ people.

Holy shit this. If you're doing it early do it solo, and without buffed HP

torture yourself and turn it into a hex build

>Bloodborne
>DS1
>DS2

DaS3 is borderline unplayable 50% of the time in PVP
GOTY right guys?

>summon mummy maker because I want to go fight night on them since I'm salty about getting rekt at the Cleansing Chapel
>they walk in waving
>while I watch they equip white phantom ring
>start leading me through the area
>notaccordingtoplan.jpg
>decide fuck it
>time my swing perfectly so it hits them and an enemy
>they turn around
>I watch
>utter silence
>Hey~
>they were a maiden this whole time
>roll off ledge into treasure after motioning for me to follow
>fuck it this is my life now with the sexy mound maker

>leaving your precious company captain alone on the tower

i bet you told her you couldn't fly, you monster.

I mean the BIG bell

Dark Spirit but I'm invading just after pontiff and he was a Finger.

Don't they get a bonus for killing Aldrich Faithful or is it the other way around?

Bloodborne
DS3
DS2

Ohh, I was thinking of a different bell, I'm a twat sorry.

...

What does upgrading storyteller staff do? Longer poison or more damage on poison???

Also farron dart def comes out faster if you dual wield staffs. Any advantage in duel weilding staff using flash sword other than looking badass.

Finally can you fight twin princes and seath guy in order first by killing dancer early or no? I want those nice spells for low lvl invasions yo.

did you farm the three on the steps or the whole bunch up on the buttresses?

>not NG+ing unless it gives you epic sekrit rewards!
God this series gained such a faggy playerbase.

I think the bonus is for Fingers vs Darkmoons

>being this mad about jailers and screamers

Best area in the game imo.
