/dsg/ - Dark Souls General

Sorry Pear, i backstabbed you not knowing it would 1 shot you

Could someone convince me to buy/not to buy Scholar of the First Sin?
I played a lot of vanilla Dark Souls 2 but was somewhat disappointed in it and sold it in the midst of a devastating existential crisis and never got to play the DLC. Is it worth picking up again? I hear a lot about Aldia and I'd like to check that fucker out, but how's the rest of the game? How much changed from vanilla?

I still don't understand Aldrich's arrow rain.

How do you escape it?
It goes on forever and neither sprinting nor permarolling helps, I always end up getting hit a bit

I don't think so, seeing as how saves are tied to your profile.

It's cut content, you can see what it looks like in the link from the OP.

First for all non-great axes are shit

Show me your fucking gesture loadouts

Reminder that sl 80 is a meme meta that only 29/29 quality estoc users want

PC FC at High Wall Lothric, Pass: dsg
It's Super Smash Souls, get in here!
Meanwhile, get hyped for the Joust event

> Enter a fight club.
> Guy starts healing after ToD pops on his opponent.

Fukken great stuff.

Okay so let me get this straight
Hosts can now
-summon 3 phantoms
-have a blue jump in on top of these 3 phantoms
-have all three phantoms be overgeared thanks to scaling (THREE DARKSWORDS)
-have all 4 phantoms able to heal with 3-7(?) buffed flasks
-turn all enemies in the level against the invaders
Did I get all that right? Am I missing anything?

Do people actually bother invading anymore or is it all fight clubs? I can't imagine this being much fun for very long.

Ok how about now guize?

Thanks for the name suggestion Wish me luck lads, gunna do a whip-only meme run

Champ Gundy is the best place to farm Sunlight Medals without being boring as fuck like Yhorm, and I love the fight so much I feel I have to apologise to Gundy for ganking him.

My fault for slamming the Wog Hammer around, though I don't have the strength to one hand so I figured it'd only do like 10 damage. Still hosting though.

Find a pillar. Run a circle around it.

Is it possible to be mad at call over? That little HEY gets me every time.

>Old King Doran's set remained one of my favs for years and well past Dark Souls 2
>Always wished it came back somehow

>Dark Souls 3 has Gundyr which is Doran on steroids

Damn fucking nice

Gotta figure out a way to make a good build out of Gundyr's shit.

r8 my ashen one
Red eyes because he has Sharingan

Use bleed or poison.

damn this solaire guy wrecked my ass

>Storm Ruler for Wammu
>Manikin Claws for Kars
>??? for Esidisi

I can't remember what the fuck he does.

i honestly didnt know what was going on, and didnt think i would do that much damage, whats your vigor?

Claymore for GS
Astora GSor Profaned GS for UGS

>hit a guy in the head with Onislayer
>does the headshot animation
>430 damage

>hit that 60 faith guy with Onislayer in the back
>697 damage
>not a headshot

???

You don't need full caps, Nigger works just as well

Do you need to fulfill the reqs while wielding the candle stick to get the sorcery buff, or can I get away with base faith?

Shoots boiling blood, so pyromancy?

Join the FCs, friends.

So, what kind of adventure awaits us out there?

What a cute degenerate!

>roll-spamming, parry-spamming, and r1-spamming are literally the most effective tactics at the moment

thanks miyazaki

so whats consensus on Crescent Moon Sword? I am kinda torn between using it in future or just go for Dragonslayer Swordspear.

That's implying that every single person is going to be that well prepared, and that you can't easily have other Dark Spirits pop in as well.
>current year
>five fucking Souls games in
>user still can't deal with gankers

And I don't fucking understand how anyone can have trouble with that ability. It's over so fucking quick.

witch's locks for the veins

someone pls give easy SL20 build for concords

How do sunbros reconcile the fact that the Sun is actually the Dark Sign with their covenant?

Is thre an alternative to the washing pole for chasing down runners? It's so good at it, but using it is pretty disgusting. Plus I'm on a STR build. Do I just put a Heavy gem on it and swallow my pride or what.

what would happen if he miraculously survived like ludleth? they would keep him as the king?

Probably the funniest message I've seen.

>winged knight tosses his axes

Mirrah greatsword. Super high damage, greatest greatsword moveset, and an insane backstab/riposte modifier.

i think i capped it

He does Fire stuff and attacks with his blood vessels. Maybe Witch's Locks?

HEX editing takes a long time, chances are there won't be mule saves for a long time if at all.

No it isn't. It can literally last like 10+ seconds
He has two versions of it

Maybe the mechanics have aged but I'm finding DeS to be the hardest game in the series. For pure melee anyway.

Seems appropriate. He used tentacles and boiling blood, so whip+pyromancy would be my vote.

>can't summon for RL. Stine and Smuff
Send help

How does anyone reconcile that in the wresting ending the sun becomes a huge round humanity?

you can punish all of these things, i'm afraid you suck

Thanks to the FC hosts, always fun to get wrecked.

CRAWLING INNNN MY SKINNNNN

>Host was able to summon about 12 phantoms before he finally managed to pin me against a wall with his buttbuddies
Why is this allowed?
No, seriously. Why is this allowed?

>every guy that pushes my shit in in the FC is a hyper armor halberd user

How do you fight these?

Well they'd probably have to, but who knows. Any number of things could happen, and most of the involved parties are too dead or insane for anyone to be able to guess how they'd react.

Is the Flamberge viable end game and pvp?

I've heard people saying that the dark age ending is the 'true' ending. Is there any merit to that claim or is it just some bullshit I heard?

>decide to go for the ring achievement
>you need to get ALL rings (even NG+ shit)
>didn't transpose some souls for rings

FUCK YOU GAME FUCK YOU, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK?

32, with Prisoner's Chain and Ring of Favor.

>It's a 'host rolls and sprints around the area behind Pontiff so he's impossible to hit due to latency' episode

Rolling attacks save lives because of the wide open animation after missing an attack

Now how do you deal with that curved GS that has the spinning weapon art??

Thief Mask w/ Abyss Watcher chest for the billionth time/10

Can I back up my first main save so I can still PvP on it, but do NG+ on the copy?

>Maneaters
>Flamelurker
>False King
DeS is quite a challenge without magic.

If you simply stay at his long turd ass it will literally not fucking hit you

Because you were too incompetent to kill him between summons.

At the moment, you don't
Glaives out-trade UGS and GAxes and can hyperarmor R1 mash through everything else. They combo for as much damage as ultra weapons with half the stamina cost ad perfect tracking + hyperarmor.

Swell froggy posts guize :>

I have a confession.
>really hyoed for namless
>tried to kill him many times last night
>first try today i decide to pull out throwing knives to see how effective they are since he slow walks
>get him to hlaf
>pull out a bow
>finish him

Fuck that wasn;t enjoyable at all, i mean i did fight him a lot with miracles(dragon) and sword(him). But that felt fulfilling. It was just as tedious the other way though.

terrible meme

Holy shit, is there any way of turning a clip from your console into a webm here if you've only got a phone? Pretty sure there isn't.
My fucking laptop died last week

Popped a serious boner

Is there a chart for intelligence the way we have these for str and such?

How do you deal with the Spiked Mace 100-0 combo?

I want to enjoy this game guys I do, I loved souls 1/2 and bloodborne but idk whats wrong with this one.
>Darkmoon doesnt work
>Blue sentinels doesnt work
>Watchdogs doesnt work
>Aldritch doesnt work
Pvp is either dueling through summon signs, invading into 3 people ready to smash my face in with +10 dark swords, or pop a dried finger and get retarded, incompetent darkmoon/sentinels so terrible at the game I dont know how the fuck they even made it to anor londo
also
>dark sword
>estoc
>generic hyperarmor greatsword
>glaive users only R1, sprinting R1, or WA spam
But I wanna use dex and faith
>worst fucking stats in the game
But i wanna be a sorcerer and still be able to play with the majority of the game
>cant build any sort of caster under 120 because fromsoft
I can see this game being fun if from decided to actually make invasion covenants work and if they made it to where r1 spam isnt the most viable way to play the game. This is fucking stupid.

> Use ToD for first time in a fight club.
> Get shit on by a throwing knife after it pops.

Pretty neat actually.

>farron spam sword of 500 ar

Where are the claws?

Science has gone too far

If it weren't for the damage on the WA buff this thing would be completely without use besides style.

It's a cheese method user, don't worry you can still enjoy the fight with co op. And it's not as stressful because the other guy takes a few of his fucking combos so you can rest between.

>Watchdogs doesnt work
>Aldritch doesnt work
Fuck off retard

ANY CRESCENT MOON SWORD USERS? HOW IS IT? IS IT VIABLE? HOW IS THE WEAPON ART? IS IT GOOD?
