posted last thread but are there any interesting mods for PC Dark Souls 2?
Really hoping to find a decent free cam tool in the least.

I feel like the spirit of the meme has entered me, at every stage I thought 'What would be the most Chad thing to do' and just fucking did it. I'm already at Undead Settlement, my play time is 13:40 and at least two minutes of that was spent admiring myself.
Meme magic is real.

What do you even have to farm in das3 unless you hate yourself enough to farm darkmoon blade?
Parker Davis
Maldron should be the patron saint of invaders
Lucas Green
Anything that requires drops. It's mostly for the symbol of avarice and flamberge, but lothric and cathedral knight stuff is good too. Sometimes I'll want the storyteller staff or the man serpent hatchet. I'm sure there's more though. More gold coins.

What talisman to use at 60 faith in 3?
Matthew Gomez
the talisman
Isaiah Davis
I managed to get up to 10 but activity just died. Oh well, I don't need the armor.
Elijah Jenkins
Saint's Talisman if you don't care about poise casting. Even then, it has good enough poise casting for duels.
Camden Thompson
Hi are yellows welcome here?
Owen Anderson
It doesn't. A single R1 from anything except a dagger breaks the poise on Saint's.
Ryan Martin
Everyone is tolerated but this general is mostly invaders lately.
Play the game however the hell you like.
Liam White
How do I use king's mirror?
Isn't it a bit slow unless you're pre-empting spells?
John Carter
did you forget to pick up the spider soul? near the big dragon and cliff.
Ethan Flores
If you mule over Symbol of Avarice and Covetous Gold +3, then kill Crystal Sage, you're already more or less set for farming once you unlock Patches as a merchant.
Besides, you can farm Gold Coins off of the Handmaids at Propane Capital. Divine and Hidden Blessings are limited per playthrough.
Xavier King
King Jeremiah Plz go
Lucas Ross
>Divine and Hidden Blessings are limited per playthrough Are they even particularly good items?
Chase Clark
If you don't care about poise-casting, then use Yorshka's. Saint's has so little poise health that it may as well be a chime.
Generally, you don't. Spell parry is a shitty gimmick in all instances except against Manus, and that's only because it can deflect shit that comes from behind.
Jacob Martinez
i just did. fuck i feel stupid.
Camden Flores
I don't really mule. None of my friends play DS3 and nobody in this thread plays on PS4. Besides, some characters want the crystal sage sorcery. If you want to farm for something and you don't have the rapier, the symbol, or the ring then those gold coins is basically your only ticket.
Nolan Smith
I CE full stacks of them to my invader characters.
If I actually use one it probably means I am fighting cancer.
Austin Lee
If you need emergency replenishment against a boss that you've almost killed, yes. But that's also something that can be solved by gitting gud.
It's also useful in invasions if you really really don't want to concede defeat to the other side (whether you're a host, passworded buttbuddy or invader), but if they've forced you to use a Divine then they may as well have already won.
Wyatt Murphy
I DID IT.
Samuel Morris
Nice,
I am too lazy to go to ng+2 or do some of the npc quests.
Ayden Baker
Now do vanilla.
Nathaniel Ramirez
Haha fuck that I'm uninstalling and never seeing that shit again. The DLC bosses will probably stay with me forever though. Fume Knight is hands down the toughest one I've faced so far. Haven't gotten to 3 yet.
Mason Martin
Congrats. But why did you do it?
Jordan Robinson
what's a good way to cheese nameless king at low level? seems to me so far that arbalest is the best opton.
Nathaniel Lopez
Katana's are the best weapons.
They're like Straight Swords but for players with skill. >so good at katana parry now, I can have hornet ring up at all times without hard swapping it
If you can make full use of the Katana abilities, they're better than straight swords
Mason Robinson
I usually play them blind on my first playthrough, and then I go for achievements on NG+ and beyond.
Dominic Martinez
>mostly invaders lately.
Not anymore friend. Neo dsg hates invaders these days but loves gank squads.
Austin Robinson

>nobody in this thread plays on PS4. We do. We just don't feel like moving a million things for some autist.
Now if you asked for co-op I'm sure you would get more responses.
Angel Ross
I see you've mastered the blade, heh.. I was like you once, I thought I was invincible.. but remember, kid.. The blade will consume those who grow too dependent. Don't let it happen to you.. it's too late for me..
Daniel Sullivan
It's true, user. I don't make the game. But after several hundred hours of PVP, mostly invasions, but also Dueling, Katana's are the most effective weapon.
Nolan Martinez
Not him, but I've offered co-op in the past on PS4 and gotten nothing. Then again, the thread was on the slower side at the time.
Austin Myers
I also use PS4.
But I've also got the game on PC. I've found that PS4 is more active.
Jose Rodriguez
>tfw invade constantly >win sometimes The meta level is a hard place for an invader to thrive. There is no pity anymore.
Jason Reed
Pic related does quite a handy job at staggering katana users
Owen Collins
ohok
Chase Wood
No, they're not. Shitty attack arc, basically zero parry frames and a similar issue to the caestus in that if you miss the parry your stamina bar is deleted.
They can be fun, but they're solidly average as a weapon class for almost all scenarios.
Easton Gray
>no onion bundle
Luis Ramirez
>have all the pieces of the insolent set but the gloves >already at bonfire level 5 How many more ascetics will I need? Place your bets.
Aaron Foster
Just because people aren't bitching about the plight of the invader as much anymore does not mean /dsg/ is pro-gank all of a sudden. The opposite is true, in fact.
It means that they have actually started to see the truth that the system works pretty well for what it is intended to do, and that there is nothing wrong with co-op play because it provides a better challenge for them.
/dsg/ got better at invading, so they have less to complain about without becoming hypocrites.
Samuel Myers
>/dsg/ got better at invading That's not true at all. /dsg/ is mostly filled with disgusting Veeky Forums rejects and /fgg/ rejects, so all you see is shitty RP and duelfaggotry.
Joseph Richardson
If you use a curved greatsword you deserve tastebuds on your own asshole.
They're actually equal to fist weapons in startup and number of active parry frames (weakened slightly due to the need to hold L2 first). That image that people were peddling in the past was inaccurate.
Should've backed up your save after each Ascetic.

Christopher Gray
There was a literal fightclub last thread???
Levi Garcia
What's bad about that? FCs have been a part of /dsg/ since forever and have only recently died off because the thread as a whole has gotten stagnant and dominated by a couple circlejerking personalities.
Jayden Rodriguez
I have nothing against it but it sure reinforces my claims of dedicated duelfaggotry.
Justin Stewart
That is hardly an example of 'all you see is duelfaggotry' when it was the first FC this place has had in weeks. I don't want to sound like I'm shitting on you but it's getting really tiresome lately since it feels like 2-3 people here will jump for your throat at the nearest mention of something like FCs. Hell if anything you should bitch about how the only real new posts are PvE players complaining about bosses like Gundyr or whatever.
Austin Young
There are bound to be newfags in every general. There are indeed too many pve only players here, and that's actually scary. As an Invader myself, I've been noticing the lack of players in both platforms I play on, and that number just keeps plummeting, people actually advises other people to just play offline or unembered. It's getting really sad.
Benjamin Anderson
Yup, still enjoy 2 more than 3
Lincoln Turner
I don't mind PvE only players but it's been annoying lately since most of the talk about it has just been:
>X is a bad boss >no Y is a bad boss >X is actually a good boss
And on and on. I do all sorts of multiplayer in 3 on my own but /dsg/ has just been dead for any coordinated activity or life since The Ringed City released it felt and the state of the general and DS3 as a game has just been stagnant and decaying. I blame this partially on From not fixing a lot of the problems that exists in both the singleplayer and multiplayer content of 3, but it also feels like the motivation of the Souls fanbase itself here and everywhere has just completely bottomed out.
Nolan Jones
>using FUGS on Iron Keep Bridge >one shot someone with a backstab >two shot someone with L2s Good fucking lord, this thing is good. It rollcatches like a monster. You can play really aggressive if you have a fast off-hand weapon too.
Brody Martinez
Should I be using blessed or lightning weapons on pure faith builds? I'm not sure how good/bad split damage is compared to pure phys.
Jaxson Richardson
I don't think the game has too many problems, except some clear balancing issues for duelists, obviously. A lot of shit in this game is not meant for 1v1 duels, and by a lot I mean a FUCKING LOT. Meanwhile these same weapons perform well in invasions and teamfights, or even fights with obstacles, like kiln of flame giving you the ability to zone people out of your reach with a Mist blocking their path or seething chaos in the left pillar.
I mean duelfaggotry was never the fucking purpose of this game, people had to beg to have an "even ground" arena given to them. And even then, it is too big, allowing turtling playstyles to still be king once again.
Though I did feel the population increase at the release of dlc, it did feel more deserted right after, unlike after the release of Ariandel, which ironically is their worst dlc to date.
Asher Cox
>waiting to co-op more in aldia's keep for sunlight medals I'm at 1.7 million souls, is there a better place to sunbro?
Still need like 15 more.
David Gutierrez
Yeah, how dare people discuss the real game. They should all be obsessing over a barely functional afterthought.
Colton Robinson
Nothing in das3 is an afterthought except its plot.
Dominic Gomez
>You can play really aggressive if you have a fast off-hand weapon too. What's up, Raime?
Jordan White
King's Gate
Adam Murphy
I'm not talking about anything as specific as dueling but more like the rigid linearity of PvE disincentivizing repeated playthroughs along with hampering build construction and half-assed multiplayer ideas like every covenant along with a host of other issues we could get into. Not to get too far into this because we have wildly different opinions on the topic but I never got the point of releasing arena itself though since red sign soapstones worked well enough, regular Pontiffs is infinitely better for 1v1s than the arena version because every arena map has to be designed with 6 player matches in mind as well. The only thing I like about arena is that it doesn't have embered health which actually makes things like ultras more viable than normal.
>Though I did feel the population increase at the release of dlc, it did feel more deserted right after, unlike after the release of Ariandel, which ironically is their worst dlc to date.
That's the weird thing, this place was at its height post-Ariandel imo with lots of invasions, FCs, co-op, constant thread activity all around. Then Ringed City comes around which everyone agrees is a far better actual DLC and things just plummets. Is it the fact that TRC was truly the sign that the end of Dark Souls has come? I don't know.
Dominic Clark
I'm hoping to dragon covenant with my only play with friend co-op character. We have 2 primal bonfires lit. I don't think I'll make it before it dies.
Farming dragon scales work at all? I'm not against muling if it takes weeks to farm.
Michael Diaz
Blessed infusion sucks on all but one weapon. Lightning infusion sucks compared to buffing with Lightning Blade.
Nolan Martinez
what weapon
Caleb Baker
Straight Sword/UGS combo is fucking nice. I should go an make his small sword at some point. I'd also recommend a fist weapon, spear, curved sword, and dagger. They're all fast and a couple have really long range. You can't leave them for other players, you'd have to either do PvP or farm them. If you are within the same SM range as your friend, just have him let you kill him. If that's not an option, either place your sign down and hope or get ready to take a long time to farm. Not him, but Lothric Knight Greatsword
Blake King
Oh, that's interesting. I'll have to try that out. My str/dex is tiny so I thought the faith scaling would be better.
Mason Howard
>"half-assed multiplayer ideas like every covenant..." So what is your issue with Covenants? I've always been a proponent of consolidating the Covenant system and having them appeal to more than just invasions.
Co-op obviously being supported by SunBros so I don't have any problem with the Covenant in question. I just think that there should be a more complex tier system, even if it's just a few more items to use, they should be reflective of the Covenant's lore and function like the Obscuring Ring for the fingers.
Isaac Jenkins
I once used FUGS with red rust scimitar in left hand, drakekeepers set, bull helmet and some pyros for shits n giggles. Named char 'Charging Bull.' Was some of the most fun I've had in pvp.
Offhand scimitar really fucked people up, for whatever reason.
Carter Fisher
Don't know what platform you're on but i get constant invasions on mine
Charles Bell
Can i farm dragon scales while in company of champions, or do i have to be in the covenant? Would save from respawning enemies.
Kevin Anderson
