So, is the Coiled Sword Fragment the least useful sidequest item you can earn in the entire Souls series? I've never had to use a Homeward Bone more than two or three times throughout my playthrough, I rarely/never feel like I'm in so much peril that I need to use an emergency escape. And you get it by beating one of the toughest bosses in the game, at a stage where you only have at most three more levels to navigate through and only two or three more bosses before the final area.
Not sure if that's a reflection on the difficulty of the levels in this game, or on the difficulty of the game as a whole. But I feel that it's much more useful being traded as a slab than for its designed use.
Camden Taylor
I wonder if the Silver Knight weapons will be as gloriously fun as the Black Knight weapons are
Landon Robinson
You can turn it in to Pickle-Pee for a titty slab, so I must disagree with your post.
Carter Reyes
>adding a new fault every post sneaky
William Robinson
Coiled Sword Fragment is useless even if you use Bones all the time like me.
Farm Drakeblood Knights for 10 minutes and you can buy more bones than you'll ever need.
I always trade the fragment for a slab.

anyone on pc ds3 have a claw they can drop me?
Bentley Parker
Carthus Curved Greatsword or Murakumo?
Connor Edwards
Exile
Camden Gomez
Murakumo, though the Exile is strictly better then both.
Camden Gray
Murakumo is the best. It doesn't weight a ton like the Exile and has way more range, perfect for catching people with a running attack. Don't let the high damage of the Exile fool you, it's short as fuck.
CCGS is garbage.
Leo Cox
So its Aldrich, Gwyn, Elite Knight (representing CU?) Yhorm, Lothric, Abyss Watcher, Ludleth & Faraam Knight (Bearer of the Curse).
If the Elite Knight is representing Chosen Undead where is the Ashen One?
Is Elite Knight the Ashen One and Gwyn is taking the place of DaS1 protag?
Am I autistic for worrying about it?
Dylan Ortiz
i think there's a bug where you can't parry him if you're at the bottom of the little staircase in the middle of the room while he lands on the top of it during his opening jump. those stairs make some of the no-roll dodges impossible too
sure, pass is claw, i'll put the red sign at High Wall bonfire
Jack Cook
t. People who never actually used them and just look at numbers
The Murakumo is better than the Exile
Brandon Young
Ashen One didn't link the fire
Justin Lewis
Right.
I see now. This is representing the Soul of Cinder amalgamation.
Henry Nguyen
The range of the Kumo is slightly longer at best which doesn't make it that much more worth then the Exile's far higher AR, especially when the running R1 of Curved Greatswords are their most predictable attack on a moveset that is already pure parry bait.
Levi Butler
Thanks, it seems then that Ill be using Murakumo for a third time
And as for the Reapers Should I got for the Pontiff one?
Juan Flores
Will the DLC fix the game
Adrian Collins
I raised the bridge near the one giant and the one in the middle of the huge room and opened the door yet Patches isn't there what gives
Wyatt Mitchell
No.
Prepare to be disappointed all over again.

It's not slightly. It looks slightly because the curvature of the blade is deceiving.

I think so but we better kiss for good luck.

Remember how good Reapers were in Dark Souls 2? They are garbage now. You want your 700 AR reaper? Too bad
Nicholas Hughes
I realized something. In my time playing BB pvp I never got frustrated at beckoners. Doesn't matter how cheese the build was, worse being bone-ash evelyn, it was still a "meh" kind of ordeal. But in DS3, the slightest use of meta weaponry makes my blood boil. Maybe it is because dying in DS3 as an invader has a drawback, forcing me to go get my souls. Its a small detail, but then you realize this is punishment for just trying to have fun. The game basically tells you "don't invade", from seeds, to ganks, to heals, to r1 spam. Its just baffling.

>Remember how good Reapers were in Dark Souls 2? uhh no? im pretty sure they were shit because of that sweetspot mechanic
Gabriel Kelly
They were great for PvP, user. The ability to completely ignore a shield is underrated.
Elijah Hernandez
I don't mind losing my souls when invading honestly.
Brody Miller
Because you're used to invading.
But think of new people in the series who try out the invading mechanic. They will obviously think "why would I ever invade? I gain nothing from doing so"
Thomas Flores
NOTHING
Carson Cook

William White
I rolled Great Scythe in DaS and loved it Tried it in DaS2 and hated it for some reason
Brandon Lewis
because scythes were really bad in DaS2, don't know what that other dude is talking about. The only half-decent one was nashandras, but only because of the spinning twinblade sorta thing it had.
Joseph Myers
Yeah you really gain from it, apart from killing someone for no reason at all.
1(ONE) ember and 3000 souls or something. There is NO reason to invade unless you just want to kill someone with a disadvantage. Covenant items are like getting rubbish for killing someone.
Jonathan Allen
Also forgot to mention it is for PVE, playing for the first time and liked my Great Scythe back in DaS and yes they were horrible in DaS2

Great Scythe was bad in DaS2.
Bone Scythe, Scythe of Want and Silverblack Sickle were amazing.
Jason Evans
>Silverblack Sickle
That was an Axe in the Reaper weapon class. But Axe's in general were far better in 2.
Ryder Morgan
how are the japs faring with das3

How did they fare with ds2?

Never made a pyromancer character before
actually I never used magic before
How should I do so I don't end up meleeing 90% of the game with a fire infused weapon?
Isaiah Cook
Is there a souls like game made by a non jap. Every Japanese game I've played that has swords WILL have katanas and they WILL be the best.
Wyatt Robinson
Sell all the unique weapons except for your main, and make it something weird or stupid for your main.
Jack Roberts
>2016 >not being able to parry washing pole running R1
Justin Barnes
Katana aren't the best in this game, straight swords are.
Jackson Morgan
ay drake is that you?
Isaac Gonzalez
I think carthus curved sword is better.
Austin Diaz
oh my god its the REAL drake
Nathaniel Jones
If you're going for 120 meta, 40/40 INT/FTH is what you should focus peaking out on. At the beginning, focus on VIG and END and move toward your attunement next. Mine at the moment is: >30 VIG >24 ATT >25 END >8 VIT >20 STR >20 DEX >40 INT >40 FTH >7 LCK
Kayden Butler
>2016 >having perfect internet katana running attacks are some of the few attacks that completely fuck your parries up if your connection goes just a bit wrong simply because the frames are so weird
Wyatt Phillips
>8 VIT
So I guess I'll be wearing nothing but hags
Hunter Young
lag + spear user = kill me god please
Nathaniel Cox
If it happens, it'll probably happen when PS4 sales really slow to a crawl. I'll wait forever, just like I did with Dragon's Dogma.
Isaiah Sullivan
I want it I don't think we'll ever get it though because a) sony is a shit company b) console players will throw a shitstorm
William Hughes
At this point all Sony needs to do is make Demon's Souls remaster for PS4 to convince me buying a bloodborne box.
Carson Howard
>less than 40 END in any build absolutely disgusting
Jaxson Garcia
Not necessarily. I use Fallen Knight chest and pants which are medium weight and have Washing Pole and Witch's Locks equipped. Of course STR and DEX you can play around with to put points into other things if you want, I just went 20/20 to get a decent range of weapons to use.
Landon Walker
>I use Fallen Knight chest and pants >and have Washing Pole
This is what I get for asking for opinions in this shithole
Cameron Phillips
>I can't manage my stamina: the post With how low rolls cost stamina wise you're a goddamned idiot if you put that much into endurance. The only exception is if you're using a greatshield.
Austin Peterson

Aiden Anderson
>only made one run through das1 a good while back >barely got invaded and never actively sought pvp because I had no idea what I was doing
Fast forward through das2 & 3 and a large amount of learning through experience. Figure it would be a good idea to revisit das1 because I missed so much while struggling blindly through the game
>finally get invaded in the depths while farming slimes >expect hornet ring backstab fishing giant dad memery >just some dipshit parry spamming what a medium shield >lets me pop combustion in his face over and over until he's dead >swung his weapon maybe twice
Gotta say I don't really know why I thought das3 had the shittiest players in pvp because this guy took the fucking cake
Carter White
Having less than 39 end while using a ultra weapons is suicide.
Alexander Kelly
Look man, you asked and I answered. I use Witch's Locks more than anything because the hitbox on them is fucking ridiculous. Washing Pole usually only comes out on PvE and fags that rollspam.
Grayson Cooper
>I use Fallen Knight chest and pants >and have Washing Pole hoo boy
Oliver Green
>when you get a double kill of host+phantom
Sebastian Wood
30 plus fap+2 nets you 4 swings with a LKGS. I don't know how that translates to other ultras due to differing stamina consumption but I'd say it's bare minimum
Landon Sanchez
Side note to this, though, you can ditch a lot of the str/dex and just get a dark Longsword. Straight swords are really good and generally don't require much in the way of stats, using a Longsword would save you 20 levels in this case.
Isaiah Rogers
>400x224
Liam Phillips
>perfectly time a parry when opponent is spamming rolling bkgs pokes >he gets parried I die great game
Robert Reed
I can always tell who the shitters with low END are because they play very passive trying to fail parry, never make good use of charged R2's and weapon arts, and spend the entire fight running away, except they can't because don't have enough END. There is never a good reason not to have 40 END on any build.
