Chaos Bed Vestiges, Chaos Bed Vestiges and great chaos jk it's vestiges again lol

Is she Priscilla?

>Yorshka's tower (Prison Tower) is in the place the cathedral leading to the Ariamis painting was in Dark Souls 1. The painting guardian weapon and armor are also found in this location.
>The Prison Tower containing Yorshka is the church tower directly above the Church of Yorshka in Irithyll, and has a route connecting them (however only one way by dropping down).
>Yorshka actually has a tail and is reminiscent of Priscilla, who can be found in the painted world of Ariamis in the first entry to the Dark Souls Trilogy. She also calls Gwyn her father and Gwynevere her sister.
>The dialogue when selecting talk after reaching rank 2 in the covenant states that Dark Sun Gwyndolin is her elder brother, and that when he fell sick Sulyvhan wrongly named himself Pontiff, and locked her in the tower. She then states she became leader of the Blades of the Darkmoon when Gwyndolin disappeared. Based on other dialougue from Pontiff Sulyvahn's Soul, we know that Gwyndolin was fed to Aldrich by Suhlyvan, hence Aldrich's title "Devourer of Gods", and his appearance being similar to Gwyndolins.
>There are a lot of similarities between Priscilla and Yorshka (appearance, tail, location in Anor Londo), however it is unsure if there is any form of actual connection between them.
>The description of Lifehunt Scythe implies that Aldrich dreamt of Priscilla or Yorshka when he devoured Gwyndolin, indicated that there was also some sort of relation between Gwyndolin and Priscilla (but this could also mean Yorshka due to her being like Priscilla), be it simple knowledge on Gwyndolin's side about the painting (or how he knows that his sister has been imprisoned), or him being somehow involved. It is most likely referring to Priscilla, considering the miracle is named after and based on her weapon.

you'd say that for anything if sca drew their ass

I will never, ever, be bothered to actually listen to all of that shit.

But the pasta's opening sentence isn't necessarily wrong.

So Vestiges is the best.
What else is useful?

Any guess for a good pyromancer weapon?

Yeah, you right.. This one in particular rustled me a bit. Yorshka should NOT be this cute.

Looking Glass Knight F agrees!

Ehhh.... depends how you define it. DS3 feels nice, DS2 was better in terms of balance and mechanics.

Has it changed since the last time I played? If not, no.
Otherwise agree.

I've literally never been hit by that spell.

Yeh you are biased.

Objectively

This is proven by the amount of fan art and fan-video's made of each game.

bad taste detected

I bet you blast Burnt Ivory King like it's the best thing ever composed by man

I'm not understanding the difficulty behind nameless king, I died to him the first time and grinded a bunch of souls untiil SL214 and killed him flawlessly.

>killed vordt already so can't cheese dancer with sword master
any kind ps4 anons want to help my low level sorc?

Anything that you can infuse and then slap Carthus Flame Arc on. If you're going strength, I had a lot of fun with Spiked Mace. Straight Swords work too.

Don't let the cancer memes ruin you. If you like Dark Sword then don't be afraid to run it, just git gud at the very least instead of R1 spamming.

Anyone else catch OnlyAfro's buttplug pic?

oh I'm sorry it's not orchestral enough and lacks vocals

fuck off m8, dks2 had some real piss poor music compared to DeS

just make a new character, you're literally 8 minutes in the game

>So Vestiges is the best.
no
great chaos fireball and learn to free aim
firewhip is also pretty good in pvp and you can combo it with estoc/gargoyle flame spear poke
Witches locks is also another decent pyro weapon

You forgot the other similarity that they both seem relatively sheltered, Priscilla seems locked away and child like, Yorshka asks the player if they can fly in a somewhat immature way.

I'm not sure if they are literally the same character, but there's definitely a relation.

>If you like Dark Sword then don't be afraid to run it

>tfw I liked Dark Sword in DaS, when it was shit
>Now it's OP and I can't touch it

pass is dsg

thanks, user.

Fuuuuck

What spells and pyromancies are usable in DaS3? I know pretty much the only offensive miracle that's worth using is Sunlight Spear.

So, when it comes to offensive Miracles, is it a "60 Faith or nothing" kind of thing?
Would a 40/40 Pyromancer have any reason to add Miracles to the mix?

where the fc at

Thanks Chiaki

She is OCELOOOOOOOOT
Gwyn's family already has a history of raising boys as girls

Currently farming for concords, because I literally never get summoned:

>Pontiff bonfire
>up elevator
>up tower ladder
>pop coin, kill two knights
>head up slope, pop coin, kill knight around corner then knight near ledge
>pop coin then kill knight down small steps, then down final slope
>bone to pontiff and repeat

Is there an easier way?

I've heard that just the two in Anor Londo are quicker, but I've had more luck doing it my way, so far.

>is Yorshka actually Priscilla?
>is the Old Wolf of Farron actually Sif?
>is Nameless King's First Knight Solaire?
>is Rosaria Gwynevere?

Fucking STOP

Have fun.

I'm uh, sorry, didnt read the ps4 part.
Sorry for getting your hopes up, best of luck to you

thanks anyway, bud.

anybody else for dancer on ps4?

>DONT DISCUSS PART OF THE GAME IN THIS THREAD DEDICATED TO THE GAME GYSE!!!1!

Why do people like Astrea's theme so much? It's so bland and repetitive. It's literally the same eight notes repeated on a loop.

The same could be said for a lot of the DeS soundtrack

You said it. I think the two in Anor Londo are the consensus just because they're so close to the bonfire. If you just so happen to fuck up, it's less painful as well.

>Start every fight with snowflake weapons like scythes/shotel
>switch to dark sword after opponent gets cocky
>win 95% of the time

Maybe Priscilla it's just an illusion created by Yorshka, like Gwynevere was created by the gorgeous Gwyndolin

Let's try that.

>Intro wasn't that good
>No awesome 'your in the wrong neighbourhood' encounter like Capra demon
>No strangely upbeat NPC
>No level that forces you to use the fucking torch just to survive like Tomb of Giants
>No Sen's funhouse or Tomb of Giants for invasion shenanigans
>Road of Sacrifice is literally a worser Forest
>Firelink shrine isn't comfy
>Firekeeper boring as fuck
>NO TAILCUTTING
>Stop reminding me of DaS1

I wish the designers didn't play it so fucking safe and pander HARD to DaS1 players by callbacks, and instead tried to do their own thing with this sequel.

I thought DaS2 was unpolished as shit, but at least they tried to do some different stuff.

...

>rollrollrollrollrollroll
>summoning another phantom...
>rollrollrollrollololololoooool
Literally what do you do? Rolling costs like -1 stamina in this game
I'm at a loss here

It's pretty much 60 or nothing for both Sorcery and Miracles.

great! pw is dsg

>Combat Mechs
>DaS2 > DaS3 > DaS >= BB > DeS

I just can't, everything about DaS2 combat was ruined by the cross deadzone and the sloppy controls.

Learn to roll catch. Its easy.

>No strangely upbeat NPC
But I hear you on other points

try running R1's, for instance you could be a faggot and use the washing pole if you really have that much trouble

This. This so hard. I'd rather have DS3 done some fucking out there shit and really mixed it up instead of DS1+BB+Token DS2 reference, set to blend and serve sludge.

It's been done to death, and if you weren't so late to the party, you'd be as sick of these dumb as shit theories with paper-thin evidence as well.

With a fucking straight sword maybe

...

Do you not like minimalism, user? I fucking love it.

>combat was ruined by the cross deadzone and the sloppy controls.
That's why it's dead last in every other category.

At the end of the day, though, "super" parries, power stance, shield bash were all fantastic innovations.

Okay sure... BUT.

Is Sulyvahn the first scholar?
Is Aldrich Smough?
Is Aldrich the Chosen Undead?
Is Soul of Cinder the Chosen Undead?
Is the Nameless King Ornstein?
Is Karla a daughter of Manus?
Is Karla Zullie?
Is Karla Zullie and Alva's child?
Why didn't they ride the eagles to Mordor?

>>is Rosaria the Queen of Lothric?
This one has real backing desu.

Well in that case I agree, I loved the idea of powerstance.

>No Tailcutting.

THIS SO FUCKING MUCH.

I literally hacked the tail of Ocerios throughout the whole fight thinking Miyazaki would bring this shit back.

I don't know why this annoyed me as much as it did, but cmon it was a fun thing they added in dammit.

What is the best quickstep weapon? I want to make a FAST build

That's pretty much it.

Not to mention getting the DS greatbows and too much of the armor to carry, which all sells for 500/1000 each anyway.

If those eight notes are in a nice melody, who gives a fuck?

You're not some /mu/ elitist are you?

I do it with halberd 2HR1's. Not that hard.

>xanthous overcoat is one of the most stylish pieces in the game
>Except for the awful fucking failed

Kill me lads

DeS sountrack is /mu/ approved though.

...

Yeh agree they made the game super safe and filled it with as much DaS1 references to nostalgia-goggle everyone.

Eventually it got pretty fucking tiring.

I cannot believe they added a not-priscilla that doesn't make sense and is totally fucking unexplained.

And is it just me or is there alot of fucking bonfires near each other?

I seem to recall DeS/DaS1 some levels you had to really pace yourself.

The answer is Miyazaki wanted to put a callback to Priscilla in DS3 without putting Priscilla in DS3, and Miyazaki doesn't give a shit what the connection is or if there even is one. Miyazaki's storytelling has always been infuriating because he just doesn't feel like things need to make sense or have solid answers. He's fine with putting someone in DS3 that resembles Priscilla and letting the fans go crazy trying to figure it out. Yorshka is no different than the Pendant in DS1. If you value your sanity, let it go.

>get Dragonslayer Axe at SL1
>most bosses become a joke
wew, and I thought raw ASS with carthus rouge was the best cheese strat

>We will never get a DS2 remastered with proper controls, hitboxes and graphics
Feels bad desu

Thrall axe, if you want to deal damage outside of bleed and/or crits

>and is totally fucking unexplained.

>he never got his Concords

>Failed

Faulds.

>is Nameless King's First Knight Solaire?
>is the Queen of Lothric Gwynevere?
>is Rosaria the Queen of Lothric?
are all fair questions.

But, shiggy dig the rest
>is Yorshka actually Priscilla?
>is the Old Wolf of Farron actually Sif?
>is Rosaria Gwynevere?
>is the Shrine Handmaid the young handmaid from DaS2?
>is the Ashen One actually The Chosen Undead?

dancer guy here, TWO anons showed up. love you guys, and thanks!

Daily reminder that mages are viable in pvp.

youtube.com/watch?v=WthkY3Oy__o

>Firelink shrine isn't comfy

Speak for yourself.

Fucking love that place. It's chill as fuck.

Forgot how fun watchdogs really is. As a mage its pretty much relying on the crabs and when i do win i can feel the salt as i point down and spin.

>intro wasn't that good

as in the cutscene?

It was far better than DS2's cutscene, and it actually had something unique about it, every lord of cinder shown in it has their theme following them, subtly for aldrich of course owing to the nature of his track.

If you are talking about the main game, cemetry of ash was very nice, and iudex gundyr was a cool boss, the second phase especially was a great addition.

>no strangely upbeat npc

Siegward, yoel and patches

>no level that forces you to use the torch

Thank god

>no sens funhouse or tomb of the giants for invasion shenanigans

Probably the only thing I'd agree with you on, although things like the obscuring ring give players new ways to fuck around

>firekeeper is boring as fuck

And yet she's leagues above anything in DaS1, which seems to be your main point of comparison. I also found the firekeepers eyes and ludleth part pretty interesting.

>Is Karla a daughter of Manus?
>Is Karla Zullie?
These are implied so hard it's basically spelled out for you.

>And is it just me or is there alot of fucking bonfires near each other?

It's because every boss leaves a bonfire behind. Remove all those and the bonfire placement would make a bit more sense.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and straight up say Miyazaki didn't give a shit about DaS3, there is very little originality here.

He just wanted to make a super safe final cash-in on the souls genre for money.

The fact he is so adamant THIS IS THE LAST SOULS makes me think he got tired of this shit.

Really? It looks so short and weak. I'll give it a try, it is better as raw or fire?

You just fucking dash attack and hope it lands it's pure luck with this trash netcode

So what is the long term significance of Usurping the Flame?

one of these days motherfucker I'll catch you and me and you are gonna have a talk about blunt force trauma

>all these pc only FCs
s-surely there's some ps4 players h-here

how is the Profaned Greatsword?
giant flaming swords are cool.

source?

Does infusing a weapon with poison increase the damage poison ticks for?

Whats the most a poison effect can tick for?

Is there ANY way to use poison as any form of pressure?
