I am really, REALLY surprised at how confused people are about greatshields, there are a few counters that people have managed to have but 90% of the time they figure out they can't break my stamina bar and they just panic.

Remember to report this thread. It's too early.

So all the prince abandonned their kingdoms (while staying inside them), becase the high King, Lothric, refused to carry the first flame?

They all followed him so the whole kingdom felt to shit?

You're saying that like there are specific counters, aside from the kick ring.

Have only fought one greatshield user but I hit him with a Yhorm Machete R1, kicked him, and then killed him with a critical. I had knight, hoof, and hornet rings equipped.

They are simply broken.

You need like 5 kicks to break the guard I think? And if you miss one you will easily get punished for it.

The only real counter is the sacred flame grab attack, but you can just backpedal that one and avoid it.

>Final Boss first phase - Ultimate Quality Build
>Second phase is just a stronger Gwyn, even has the same moveset
I love it

>fight nameless king
>literally get hit 4 times
>win

whelp, that wasn't so hard after all

There is no way an r1 and a kick will cause guardbreak on a greatshield (even with rings) unless he just emptied his stamina bar

Is the wolfknight shield the best shield in the game or does it not matter as long as you can parry or give you good side stats? (grass crest shield, etc).

The bump limit is 750, retard.

>those backflips

I'm just telling you what happened user, feel free to test it.

as said you can go ham with the anti shield, knight slayers ring and horsehoof.

Sacred chime grab gets through.
Also bleed, BLEED is really strong against greatshields as they don't stop it at all. I got shreked the first time i fought a bleeduser when i had my greatshield up.

Lucy post some uncut PVP in the forest low level with the following three setups (takes about 30 mins to get there with most)

Any Scythe 2H
Any Dagger without parry
Any short range pyro build (eg. Greater combustion)

:)

>didn't even link to previous thread
can someone make a real OP please

Did the black matter appearred because the whole kingdom refused the flame? The curse associated to that?

Because Lothric and Lorian looks like pure heirs of the first Lord. Yhorm looks like an heir of the giant kingdom, Aldrich looks like a fake king that became crazy because he used the power of the black curse (devouring people to become stronger until he became a Lord), and the Legion looks like an army coming from the lost kingdom of Oolacile (everyone being the same, training forever together to become stronger).

I have tested it. The glory shield without upgrade needs more than 3 kicks with 20 endurance so I don't know why you were able to guardbreak him so easily.

OOOOKAAAYY

Now i know why some of you faggots love the BKG so much. Literally 1 button spin to win cheese. Don't have to worry about timing or positioning, just summon someone without a shield and away you go.

I mean, that's cool if that's your thing. But you're deluded if you think you aren't DS and Estoc level.

It has good stability and resists, and it's on the light side for a great shield. If your weapon art is worth using, then it's good. Otherwise you may be better off with a bash or something.

>old thread is still page 7
>already making a new thread
Soulsfags are retarded.

should I farm for a dark sword to be a cunt in pvp?

Or is the world already dark enough

Do Wolnir's bracelets have hidden HP, or do they just take a certain number of hits to break?
Some weapon types are annoying to hit them with consistently so I was contemplating just switching to an unupgraded straight sword for him

Do all longswords have the same range or no?

What makes it so good? It dropped for me.

R1-L2-R2 is the combo

that's three buttons user

I've three of them.
Also, golden ring + chest is pretty fast.

>when a filtered trip makes the thread and you cant find it

...

Can someone help me kill Oceiros.

PC
SL 51
PW: babykill

Whether you summon or not, as long as you have fun; you win.

>3 kicks
Maybe, but is that with or without horsehoof ring? I also started it with a Yhorm Machete +10 R1 that was boosted by knight slayer ring

Where can I go at Level 80 with +10 weapons to be an asshole with my Dragonslayer Bow?

Seem legitimate

Just got to the Dancer after killing Yhorm and Aldritch. How much more of this game is remaining? I know I fucked one of the endings by siding with Anri and slaying Yuria.

Hidden HP.

Using the thunderspear it took a good 5-8 hits to break each one.

Using the greataxe it took me 2.

>people who try to play not fighting games as fighting games
>people who complain about balance in not fighting games

Thanks user, you just got me fired

literally fuck off

Wew, I didn't expect that ending.

thanks user

guy who said he got the symbol from the high wall mimic, were you rusing me? 'cause i just dumped thirty lloyd's into that asshole, and those fuckers aren't cheap

is pyromancy viable in PvP?
i wanna make Burnie Cinders

>He doesn't know that Ornstein was just Lautrec in disguise

you're talking about smashfags right?

>You cant trade his soul for 5 different weapons
>Spear,Staff,Talisman,Scimitar or Great sword
still super fun at least

and its a remix of the best song in Phase 2

his helmet looks like Giant Dads

>false flagging lucy

Where can I get Lautrec armor in DaS3?

Not the guy, but I also got it from the same mimic.
Took like 3 tries.

no you'll get interrupted and meleed

Yes, and people who take Dark Souls PvP too seriously.

>summoning for the second easiest boss in the fucking game

user...

Why that doesn't even sound fun.

you're probably 85% through

I am sl 51. I am doing 0 damage.

it's just broken. play some pvp and you'll know.

So, is there anything new in this SS/Estoc/GS meta?

I fucking love heavy weapons, and I was having a 35% or so winrate by my guess, but whenever its an estoc user I'm just fucking crushed, I'm getting real tired of this bullshit.

I was pretty interested on the Great Shield thing tho.

King's got some really fucking nasty ranged attacks, but also this weird blind spot in his AI. He won't use either his ranged or melee attacks at a certain range that you apparently stumbled into.
You missed out on a cool fight, user.

It's never been a threat to me and I don't use it because it looks gay.

Big damage and poise damage.
The only downside is it consumes more stamina to swing compared to the other straight swords, but that's not really a fair comparison since it's like a greatsword in almost every other way.

>Invade someone
>They have two phantoms ice skating around
>Instantly die before I can even move
This fucking netcode

>get to Soul of Cinder
>kill him
>just kidding, second phase
>i guess it's alri--gwyn's track starts playing

Hahaha, oh man. It caught me off-guard. That was pretty goddamn tasteless in my opinion.

Can't wait for all the "hey, remember this" in the DLCs.

Maybe we'll get the Pursuer's armor. kek

Hit me with your best fashion souls. Don't bring your B game.

just grab a twink weapon and upgrade it

who knows, maybe Namco is gonna make a Dark Souls 3D fighter

>big souls descriptions
>12 lines of text
>8 to explain what is a soul

Nope. You'd have to be retarded to get hit by anything a spellcaster throws in DS3.

It's the accumulation of a lot of small things.
Great damage, great scaling, great moveset, great stamina useage, infusable, buffable, light, etc.

>Anything new
Yeah, rapiers now have infinite stamina for all intents and purposes.

As a strong man, what's your take on the weapon art greatshields? They look fucking fantastic.
Or is the shield bash actually worth something in this game? A guard break like what lothric knights do?

Dark Souls at EVO when
>championship duel interrupted by invaders

welcome to dark souls on easy mode user

maybe next time try not being a magic/pyro spamming shitter

>Look up other outcomes of Anri's questline
>You can help her fight aldrich
>if you kill the pilgri, she turns away from you if you summon her
>She turns hostile and waits for you in Smouldering Lake
>If you kill Horace she drops to her knees and refuses to fight

Holy Shit. I got Hollow ending without even trying

>I was pretty interested on the Great Shield thing tho.
yeah pair it with an estoc.

No pictures, but check out Mirrah top, Painting Guardian gloves, and Maiden Dress bottom. Also looks good if you swap Mirrah top for Sunless. Female character, obviously.

Do what I did, say fuck the meta, grab the Greatshield of Glory, slab on 40 strength, pick up a heavy greataxe and make people suffer. Make people regret picking meta weapons.

Estoc users can't get through, GS users will run out of stamina LONG before you. SS is a pain still as they can seemingly attack for years but they will run out of stamina before you again.

Then it's just a case of picking when you want to start cleaving them for 90% of their health each swing.

Or, be really cleaver, and put a Ceastus with the greatshield and when they get complacent swap, parry and obliterate them.

I did very well at 60, it was hard at 80 because spears and halberds or any long range semi fast weapon makes it really hard and they come in around then, 90 zone is better because I can take a hit and my damage is pretty good, going for 100

Thanks for the pep talk. I grabbed a shield and it was a lot easier.

What chest on bottom right?

>Do all longswords have the same range or no?
Oh no, no no no.
Use a longsword for awhile then switch to barbed. You'll notice. This thing feels short as a dagger.

Eastern, I believe.

Fires are very long to get extinct, and they provide very long life, like Gods ones.
So the Dragons comes from the first flame or not?
Did Gwyn killed them to link the fire for humans, creating the undead curse at the same time?

>tfw smelly nigger phantom hiding behind blue sentinals at the halfway fortress
smelly, smelly nigger

...

>Doing Old Demon Dong on sl 20 pyromancer with the Pyro NPC
Why the fuck would they give you an option to summon her? Shes fucking useless in every way

So who's the old royalty mentioned in Dancer's description, Lothric's?
Shit's a little too vague

Dragons existed before fire.

I meant the two handed glory greatshield shenanigans

I like the bash, I caught a few people by surprise on it, and it can hit for 300 or so on good timing. After you hit the ground, the rest of the move count as if you were blocking.

Its not really good though, just fun.

I was running Heavy Greatmace with darkmoon blade and Cathedral Greatshield for a good part of my 100 hours savefile. I was doing well, but these longswords/estocs everywhere are pissing me off man, I don't really know how to deal with that bullshit.

Guess I might try the greataxe though

Fighting games are either shit or full of unintuitive mechanics and immersion in a great draw to Dark Souls so I don't think so.

Who End of Fire here?

Best ending

I spent my last slab on this piece of shit. Goddamit i'm still mad from when I last posted about it.

Just a heads up if you're thinking about it. DON'T UPGRADE SCYTHES, ESPECIALLY THE PONTIFFS.

They're fucking garbage.

Already used her soul (as biggest souls).
May I have a screenshot?

they aggro on the darkwraiths outside.

darkwraiths can also bug out and enter the fog with you which is pretty lol

Why did you summon her in the first place dumbass?
