/dsg/ - Demon's and Dark Souls General

Thank you

Rather a tip than a correction.
You can predict where the Sage is going to spawn after teleporting if you pay attention to the location of the crystals (no crystal=he will spawn there). You can just dash and keep whacking him until he starts making clones.

As for sorcery, miracles and pyromancy being useless, it's not entirely true. Ranged attacks can be used to dispatch the clones safely since they die in one hit.

>fightning the giant crabs

What do you think I'd catch if I went fishing? An aquatic Deep Accursed?

>not wanting to get the ring without starting as a pyromancer

check OP's links for more information, you'll surely have more doubts

They're just one of those enemies I always skip until I'm stronger and come back to them later when they can just be cheesed with high damage, like Havel in 1 or the Ogres in 2.

You can literally just summon Hodrick, make him fall into the swamp, lead him to the crabs, and jerk off while he brutally murders them with his 2000 damage WA.

Anyone wanna help me at smouldering laake? getting wrekt. I am a tPS4-Demon Ruins bf / SL 51

A Phantom can't dodge ballista shots for you, user.

pass is dsg

Wrekt by what?
I'm about to help you tackle your problems, pal.

Not there but inside smouldering kinda catacombs, where you get the pyro tomes

I ASKED WREKT BY WHAT AND NOT WHERE YOU MONGOLOID

The farron keep dudes on the swap but on fire

thanks user! now i can unleash my minmaxing autism with as much control as possible

Glad to help. Right now you should still be in range of SM0 players, so you have full control of your SM destiny.

i mean, outside of sales, SM0 is probably not going to be all that active
which SM bracket should i aim for if i just want to help out or invade some people once in a while?

what the fuck is a "dude"? The fat pyromancer goat?
Try not getting hit by the flame fan attack because it instakills you and use dark damage. Easy to backstab too

I get spammed with fireballs just into the area where there are 2 of those goats and die in a sec. I am a pyro btw so my spells are worth shit against them

Yhorm's Machete seems busted for me
If I'm against someone using it online, if I get hit once and start mashing roll, they can get a second hit before the stun wears off
If I try using it online, I can mash R1 as hard as I can but they get to roll before the second hit comes out

I've given up on the weapon for this reason but just to make sure, am I missing something? The two hit lights thing works for every other weapon I've tried.

It goes by area, not sure if anyone got a list. NG should be up to 2-3M in the endgame which are fairly active for coop. NG+ maybe 5-10M? I finsihed NG++ a while ago with 20M+, it's dead at that point.

then wait until you get the dark pyromancies later on and come back then. the boss has a 90% fire resist too so you wont do jack against it.

The weapon is irrelevant. It's all about the lag.

In PvP 90% of all hits turn into two hits because the stagger is longer than the weapon takes to swing a second time.

Best early weapons on a pyro build?

deep battle axe

that doesn't scale with anything though

>early
>that doesn't scale with anything though
at any rate, dark hand is probably better

>early weapon
>scale
retard

>>>>>>early

raw longsword

onyx blade

just sprint through everything up to cathedral, sprint through painted world, and then bait vilhelm into jumping off a cliff

that doesn't scale with anything though

>early weapon
>scale
retard

So are the Untended Graves in the past or future? The armor seems to imply that the player might have sheathed the coiled sword into Gundyr forthe player to pull out.

never change, Veeky Forums

Who? This is reddit.

>So are the Untended Graves in the past or future?
Yes.
I think the best way to look at it is an alternate timeline.

>still no patch making dragons more viable

Are we stuck in a time loop

I deeply enjoy lorefagging but the Untended Graves have me stumped. I'm convinced Miyazaki just put it there to fuck with us and he had no idea or intent for it to be explained in any way.

>say stupid shit
>get called out on it
>you guys are a bunch of meanies :(

Untended graves is the original timeline in which the flame faded too far for the bell to toll.

Ludleth did some abominable shit using the retarded amount of souls he got from the Soulfeeder to pseudo-link the flame and create a new temporal Firelink so that the bell can toll and Ash can prevent the age of dark from settling in.

Which game?

90dex caestus flynn's build
perseverance covers it's negative absorption

dragonfags? hahaha

gonna start a spear only run in DaS3, because im bored to shit
any recommendations?

>Bored to shit
>One of the most vanilla run ideas.
Recommendations? Don't.

LKLS and Leo Ring. Also get a good WA Shield, maybe Black Knight for the Stability.

spears are the most boring weapons.
That's why they're so good

What are the best rings for a sellsword build?

With the Twinblades? I used the Pontiff Eye Rings, but you can get both for no rings with the OWCS, which is a really good weapon. I've knocked more than a few Friede's and O&U users out of the sky with it. Just two-hand the Twinblades with the Old Wolf on your back.

what the hell is an owcs

Old Wolf Curved Sword, rank 1 reward in Watchdogs

Which boss souls in DS2 are worth keeping for their weapons?

how could this happen

all of them

What's your favourite boss theme?

Too good for such an underwhelming boss.

Fuck this game

Best rings for the spiked mace ds3?

disable anti-alaising

That was literally the first thing I did

fucking amateur

If you talk to the Untended Graves handmaid before ever talking to the main game handmaid, she's gonna greet you as if she's already met you. It's 100% the past.

>invaded by red
>drink estus
>he points down and starts drinking too
>dies

? are reds really just brainlets who think I must "duel" them or something

Let's say I'm really stupid and want to do a Bleed build. Would I be better off using weapons that inflict Bleed and building around their scaling, stockpiling Carthus Rouge, or using Blood Gems on a Luck build?

Okay, I think I got it.
>Set the monitor resolution in DSFix.ini as well as widescreen fixer
>Disable "Automatically Detect Resolution" in widescreen fixer
>Use the widescreen fixer hotkey to start it in game instead of having it run with the game

That more or less seemed to fix it. Not sure why the fix to this is so retardedly convoluted but there it is.

good job

It depends on how you want to handle trash mobs. If you want to bleed them too than bleed weapons, otherwise CR would be better. Not sure how well blood gems would fly honestly.

Whenever I got invaded reds are the first ones chugging estus. Literally nobody gives a crap except a few autists, you just use the things at your disposal. Seed them, drink estus. If you want to duel you go to the arena.

Actually, having looked at general Bleed resistance across the board, I found I'd have an easier time punching things to death. Same with a Poison build.
I was also thinking of doing a sort of suicide build with Tearstone Rings, but found that I'm going to do a great deal of dying.
I really wish we had Frost Gems so we weren't tied to a handful of weapons and Frozen Weapon, that might have been fun.

Honestly, I find the whole idea of specialty weapon runsrather silly. Just don't use weapon/types you commonly use and you well have plenty novelty in the run.

But than again some people have so many hours clocked in they have to scrape the barrel somehow, so maybe I'm just not the type for them.

Should I kill the twin princes using fire, magic or lightning?

now die and see what happens

Lightning first, fire second but only if you can manage to hit Lothric while he's mounted.

Is SL70 too high for the Princes? I can't seem to find any player signs at the boss door. PS4, if you need to know.

>actually pretty good when it comes to PvE
>utterly mediocre at PvP
How likely is it to be the game's fault? I can't be a terrible player, right?

LMAO2FOG

2FOG1!!111!

Seems normal if it's your first playthrough. I think I was around that level when I beat them.

what kind of pvp/pve have you been doing?
they require different ways of playing most of the time

Wait till you see 3fog

that's where he usually dies for people who don't do onion quest

Mostly invasions as an Aldrich faithful and duels in Irithyll.
Seems I can't deal with greatswords at all, and nobody ever uses anything else.
