Post mushrooms.

zullie!!! love ya finding stuff

they can be parried, backstabbed, and staggered
abuse these, and git gud

Just Google Image Search it.

Never mind.
Found it.

System?

...

I can't parry to save my life.

First phase is easy, but the expanded range he has on everything in the second phase fucks me up

Is the only way to effectively play w/ daggers is to wa scooch around people?

Are there any daggers good for pve to progress past ng?

If you have one I would appreciate your build so much.
Im struggling.

Is he the worst lore guy on Youtube?

Every single one of his "theories" have always made me respond, "But that's fucking retarded.

have you tried using a smaller shield to parry?
go back to the high wall of lothric and practice parries on the hollow soldiers, and then the Lothric Knights near Vordt, it'll really help you get a feel for it

He is probably talking about how I was talking about Pyromancy being the most fun build in DaS3, while also being very useful.

There have been a lot of fun things for me to find lately.

When it's gankers vs invader and someone breaks out the warmth and everyone sits around it and becomes friends

...

Oh god, I'm really glad that didn't actually make it into the game.

Damn, I'm really upset that didn't actually make it into the game.

Whats the point of the throne in DS2?
I am so confused.

Anyone wanna help with Oceiros? Trying to get to Archdragon peak as quick as I can on a pyro build.

thank you very much!

He is, yeah.
I like him better than Silver Mont though

Why lately, did the DLC patch add a bunch of garbage?

Why? for dagger dickass thiefs that looks cool.

Ah, the little angel and devil on the shoulder of every bit of unused content.

yeah he's a retard conspiracy nut, Velka nuthugger for no reason.

>Use Projected Heal in arena
>Somehow this triggers every opponent I get
I fucking hate honorfags, after the bow the duel starts

I'm a scrub in dark souls 3, it's my first souls game, I've beaten it (no dlc) as knight and assassin, but my builds were a complete mess and it could have been way easier than it was. I just started my thief run, at firelink now, only tutorial boss down, any recommendations on a weapon I should replace my starting dagger with early on, if I should replace it at all? I'm planning on using anri's straight sword and a luck build, is this a bad idea? If so, can I get suggestions on an alternative before I waste time messing up another character build?

It summons the flame to its location when the carrier of the Great Soul sits on it. It's like luring an animal with bait. Nashandra wanted you to sit on it to bring the flame near so that she could snuff it out.

You're the king of this world and now yo u need to make a choice.

Light? Dark? Or something else entirely?

What do you want?

console?

I guess

I'll need it for Pontiff too, right?

No, I've been able to do this kind of stuff for months, I just completely neglected it because I was busy with other stuff and real life things.

Yup, just let me boot up my B-29 Stratofortress Analog Aeronautical Computer

The fact that you asked means you already put more thought into it than the DaS2 team did.

I love projected heal. It finally forces your opponents to stop being passive 100% of the time.

I also have no doubt it will get nerfed for the very same reason,

need help getting through road of sacrifices because bad

ps4/NA

throw down your sign at the first bonfire

Yes, that's a bad idea. Anri's is garbage, luck builds are also garbage.

Luck builds were gutted, so you'd probably be better off going with something else.

What kind of play style are you looking to achieve? That should help narrow down some possible options for you.

No, PC. But don't worry though. I got him. Thanks though.

Since I already transformed my main characters in DS2 and DS3 into necromancer hexer types, should I try the same with my DS1 character?

The major thing I'd be concerned about regarding it is what exactly it would have implied for the game's design. What kind of Souls game would it be where they would have "needed" to include something like that?

you can't get Anri's until at least after Pontiff, just keep that in mind. You also can't get any Hollow Gems until the Irithyll Dungeon (I think), so you won't have any scaling weapons with Luck. Personally, I'd go with a different build and then respec Luck once you get the weapons/infusions you want.
you can definitely kill pontiff without parrying, but parrying makes him way, way easier

Going with a different build is right, except don't respect luck. They nerfed luck builds hard

Any interest in a PS4 FC? I'm willing to host if there is people that want to show up.

No, host on PC

nothing
I'd bet even the director, Tanimura couldn't answer

Is there any hidden lore or references on its origin on how it does this?
I know King Vendrick took it from the Land of the Giants but how did this come to be?

Or is it just another thing not explained since we're coming in at the end of an era?

The fight I had the most trouble with out of all the bosses, and again I don't have the DLC, was dancer, I don't really know what kind of style would be good against her, suggestions? Again, I'm a scrub, I only got past her by throwing my face at her 20 times.

The throne is the kiln. Vendrick literally took the goddamn kiln back with him when he raided 'the land of the giants.' The ground is broken-up around it because it was carved out and lifted back to Drangleic. The castle was built around the place he planted it.

Taking the throne is taking the kiln. It means you control access to the fire, to either link it, let it fade or try to claim it for yourself as Vendrick failed to do.

Nashandra covets the flame and wants it for herself. She just endlessly thirsts for power, and the first flame is of course the greatest source of power in the world. Most of the second half of the game was a defense set up hastily by Vendrick and Aldia to keep Nashandra from the throne. She can't get to the King's Ring because the singing Milfanito are the natural counter to dark things, so she can't even cross the door until you go and fetch it for her. Even when the door to the throne is open, she can't take the Watcher/Defender duo herself and waits for you to do it for her.

>you can't get Anri's until at least after Pontiff
user, think about what you just said for half a second.

level 25

Ya, I was so hyped for King Vendrick and how incredible he was. I was let down, but I think my ignorance of my questions is what makes it so bad for me.

>how did it come to be
Yeah, I don't know.
I can see how that can annoy people, because it leaves me befuddled. I find it more so creepy than anything else though.

>Ya, I was so hyped for King Vendrick and how incredible he was. I was let down
That's the point

post cute unkindled (male)

>The throne is the kiln
zero evidence
nice headcanon

I'm confused, what did I say LOL
Dancer bleeds super easy, even with base bleed weapons. you can cheese her with Gnaw/Dory's Gnawing

>she can't take the Watcher/Defender duo herself and waits for you to do it for her.

>I can't kill these guys.
>I better get someone stronger than them to kill them, and then I'll kill that person.
>I'm a goddamned tactical genius

Look, man, even Tanimura admitted Nashandra wasn't meant to be the final boss and her motivations and role in the story changed massively. It's not necessary to try to explain it, because it wasn't made to have an explanation.

>Join an arena
>It's a Twin Greatsword shitter
>Get 1shot from it's totally balanced WA
>Alt-F4
Why do I even bother

Oh wow! Thank you for this.

I always thought the Land of the Giants was literally nothing but giants. But now I feel like the war was against many kingdoms.

So Vendrick tried to amass all the lord souls to claim it? I guess that answers the failure.

Whenever you go into the basement in Majula I thought that was the kiln honestly

Even if the throne isnt the kiln, I can support it summons the fire somehow atleast.

You can just kill her at Road of Sacrifices after a whopping two bosses, including Iudex

>Look, man, even Tanimura admitted Nashandra wasn't meant to be the final boss and her motivations and role in the story changed massively
source

...

>so she can't even cross the door until you go and fetch it for her

can't nashandra teleport

it would really only make sense if she didn't know where the kiln was but a big fuck off door is pretty obvious

I'm watching that ninja guy's stream right now. How funny.

>You can just kill her at Road of Sacrifices
but user.. why would you? ;_;

The land of the giants is Lordran my dude

I realize the anti climatic moment was on purpose. The real hype was his queen Nashandra, but I didnt feel the hype for her honestly.

Sad, I wish there could have been some hidden reference for dozens of people to make wild speculations on. Would have been fun.

Pass word?

>can't nashandra teleport
No ring

I don't know.
I feel like it's more likely to be "a" kiln and not the literal first kiln.

It doesn't excuse it, especially when they could have let you fight a full powered Vendrik at the end of the DLCs. Hell, the could have just let you spare with him in a memory to give you a point of reference. You can't say that beating him in his current state was somehow impactful when you never saw him in his prime.

At least we saw and heard about Gwyn's exploits constantly in the first game.

Oh shit.
I havent been able to play the Dlc due to extreme lag in the areas.
That makes my heart happy then. I was honestly just picturing. . . Giants.
I did not go deep into that one. Took it at face value which is probably the worst thing to do in this series.

If people show up I'd be down.

isn't drangleic built directly on top of lordran?

>tfw too stupid for dark souls 2

just kidding

A faith build on a thief? I feel like since I initially wanted to do a luck run with Anri's, if that's the easiest way to beat what is the hardest boss (for me) then I should just reroll and start over or something. Out of curiosity, what did they do to make luck builds suck? Anri's felt overpowered as fuck on the character I used it on, but that was like 10 months ago.

the nightly challenge is here:

>It doesn't excuse it,
>What is storytelling.
>when they could have let you fight a full powered Vendrik at the end of the DLCs.
Vendrick is not a villain
But oh wait
>Tripfag

shoo shoo

No, it's a different place entirely

dsg

They allowed us to travel back into memories to fight the Giant and other useless memories.
But we didn't get Vendrick.

Thats what bothered me the most. That had such a great story telling tool that was wasted.

Luck used to affect the way bleed/poison stack way harder

The wa had a million year of setup m8. My tip is to try out the weapons you cant beat and see what the weakness is.

Technically, that is not NECESSARILY a bad plan.
>he's worn down from fighting them
>if he dies, maybe he'll have worn them down
>i'll kill them asap.

Oh what is he really a streamer? I kept getting invasions with him on my team the other day. We were fucking shit up. I accidentally killed him once but it probably didnt seem like an accident to him.

Link please

>But we didn't get Vendrick.
What?
youtube.com/watch?v=5xCLVj2jgtA

Are dancers blades still shit?

I'm coming back since before AoA was even announced. I knew if i waited long enough it would ge some buff, right?

How badly did they nerf it? What I read said it will apply a bleed after 5 hits if you have 40 luck, seems pretty reasonable
