>pus of man are just corrupted serpents

CALL VAATI VIDEO GAMES NOW

It wasn't a primordial serpent the way I expected it to be. Something like the Carthus Sandworm but larger and a bossfight.

You can only tell it the rewards you've gotten. Just wait until you've got 30 Shekels and turn it all in at once.

Everything is fading back to grey. Hollows are becoming dragons and giants become archtrees to house the dragons. Killing the pus of man in the lothric wyverns kills the wyvern

So what else scales with hollowing? There's forlorn blade and dark pyro

The unlikelihood of being invaded

Would anyone in ds1 be willing to drop me a leo ring ? I killed Super S like an idiot and now I'm really regreting it against Four Kangs.
I'm SL 79, Steam64 ID for DSCM is 011000010452b35a
Beginning of New Londo where the harmless hollows are if possible so I don't get invaded in Oolacile while waiting for people
I don't even know if phantoms can drop the host items in ds1 since the online is so dead

Travel back in time to the Age of Ancients.
Kill Aldia & BotC that followed you there, to throw a bone to thirsty das2friends and have an iconic-yet-not-too-significant entry bossfight.
Kill Prime Gwyn.Prime Neato and Prime Witch are minibosses. Pygmy is a worthless mob with 1 hp.
Kill the 1st dragon to have yet another defiled amygdala-inspired midir clone for the hardcore crowd.
Kill the conglomerate of jew serpents.
Use their combined powers to tear down the trees.
Everything ends. No cycle or age bullshit anymore. Nothing ever appears, the world is just a grey stone waste now, which you wander alone for all eternity. End of the series.

I'm on the piss4 sadly.

When you hear tolling bell in the Archdragon Peak, it means someone's just challenged Nameless, right?

I'm doing a run with the Master Key and just rang the two bells. However, I skipped the Capra Demon as I really don't have time for his bullshit. Does that completely block me from getting the large ember?

yes, you can get to the blighttown big door from the swamp but you'll have no key, so go do Capra, it's an easy "boss" anyways

Yep.

Doing Capra is the only way to get to the Large Ember because you can't get back up to Depths from Blighttown.

literally just grab a 100% block shield & the knight armor and use a fire pine resin from the undead merchant, you won't even have to bother dodging and capra will go down in three or four hits
also gaping dragon is 25k souls that are always good to grab

I'm not done complaining about Show your humanity

I want more dark areas. Why are there no dark areas in Dark Souls 3?

I want darkness. Dark areas are so much fun. Can't see shit. Have to be careful. Spooky. Best invasion zones.

I recently dwelled a chalice root which had a layer with like 6 or 7 pitch black areas connected to each other, fuck darkness.

Grues are such a fantastic concept

>why are there no dark areas in Dark Souls 3?
There are dark areas if you actually set your brightness settings to where the game recommends you.

Irithyll Dungeon, Irithyll, Catacombs, the indoors areas of Ariandel and some other places as well had some darkish areas. But yeah, I'd like to see some more use for the torch as well.

Just to be clear, the PS3 version of Scholar doesn't have the retarded enemy layouts of the PC version, right? I'm considering rebuying it on PS3 since the people who made the encounters in the PC version seemed to think they were making a fucking Devil May Cry game rather than a Souls game.

>PS3 version of Scholar
There really isn't a such thing.

I think that might depend on if you buy it digital or physical. Digital may (and I'm not 100% sure of this) have the new Scholar enemy placement, but physical should be just standard DS2 packaged with download codes for the DLC.

There's a PS3 / Xbox 360 Scholar btw. Those versions don't have the enemy placement changes or new invader phantoms of the newer version I think.

So yes, From jewed their audience not once, not twice but THRICE with the most garbage game of the franchise.

>tfw might finally have someone to play with
:D

holy shit how didi I not notice this before

>Those versions don't have the enemy placement changes or new invader phantoms of the newer version I think.

So basically it has nothing that the real versions have except the same name.

yeah it is just a dlc bundle on old gen, isnt there a version of scholar like that on pc?

Yes. It's $40 as opposed to $30 on PS3. The original Dark Souls II on Steam now comes bundled with the season pass but I don't know if getting a key from a different site would also get me the DLC.

I'm pretty sure all the

the last couple of days is the same autist reposting.

/dsg/ has hated das2 for a long time

Mind you I wasn't in these threads when 2 came out, but from what I've seen the hate towards it was rather a silent "not as good as 1" than this vocally autistic. Many people have started replaying it after 3 and coming to love it, including myself. I didn't like it much the first time I played vanilla, but after buying SotFS it has probably become my favorite Souls.

Yeah haha, everyone who points out the flaws of that flaming pile of garbage must be a shitposter!

I enjoyed parts of Dark Souls 2 but overall it was really meh experience and I hate it when some of the people who have taken to like it will not hear any criticism of it.

>inb4 DS3fag pls go
I am definitely ready to admit DS3's flaws as well.

das1 has better pve, das2 has better pvp

i rather suspect lucy has been shitposting without his trip 2bh

Nah, it was mostly an autistic "If royal rat authority is Sif, then why doesn't he have just as much lore?", people making up headcanon and drawing the dumbest possible conclusions just for the sake of shitposting

I'm replaying Scholar again since I burned out HARD on DS3 after TRC was such an "okay" DLC.
Why the FUCK did they change the infusion system in 3? No boss/twinkling weapon can be infused, infused weapons can't be buffed, physical infusions blow elemental out of the fucking water. What was their endgame? Having a pure Phys/Fire MLGS was some of the funniest shit you could pull in PvP

DS1 is more meh. At least in 2 there are no areas like "No! I'm not going to play this shit once more!"

Would twinking items between your own characters be a good idea? Maybe with a special box like in Borderlands.

Most have missed that, can you link the lorepost? The only retarded headcanon I saw was unrelated with 2, the abyss being outer space

Going to start a new faith character. What are some quest lines, spells, covenants I need to make sure to grab besides;

>proper bow
>mound makers
>equipping blue sentinels early
>darkmoon loyalty for covenant
>buying tome from Yuria
>rescuing both pyromancers vendors
>greyrat quest

This is besides the forced DS1 wanking my bigges gripe with 3. Obiously 2 has its flaws, but it also has some good features, which were later completely scrapped by 3 because Miyahacki is autistic.

Nah that was ages and a harddrive though, feel free to look up any early release lore video it was all really stupid and threadbear shit to try and string the games together when it was obvious that 2 wasn't even trying to continue the story 1 left off.

>Ricard became a darkwraith and killed artorias but was corrupted by the Abyss that's why you fight him in the dark chasms of old

there was a bug that allowed this back in das1 but it was patched

>At least in 2 there are no areas like "No! I'm not going to play this shit once more!"
The entire game sans the DLC was that for me.
It's not like I'm saying DS1 was flawless, but Dark Souls 2 to me was just dull garbage where you're just waiting to get to the good parts but the good parts never come.

First time through Dark Souls 2 I was constantly being teased by optimism of getting to the actually good areas but aside from the DLCs, the good parts never came. And Dark Souls 2's massive amount of content turns against itself because a lot of the game was just garbage you're suffering through to get to the DLCs.

Think about DS3 if the game had 5-10 more hours of it's length to be Road of Sacrifices / Farron Keep tier areas. That's base game Dark Souls 2 for me.

>Want to replay DS3 and focus on PvP, eventually getting all spells and rings
>Game quickly becomes a means to an end losing all its depth turning into an array of places with items I want and enemies I evade instead of fighting them; I feel no thrill as I already know this game and instead of beating it, I'm basically working on getting a virtual badge

>people who call themselves From Software fans but are only fans of the Soulsborne series.

I bet over half the Souls fanbase can't even name any other From Software franchise aside from the Soulsborne games.

Do challenge runs instead.

No. I'd have preferred if dropping items outside of consumables was prohibited. Like in Bloodborne, twinking should be a reward for hard and tedious playthrough that involves you severely handicapping yourself by intentionally being low level, not something that can be done by simply asking people on deesgee to drop you stuff.

Doesn't change anything, unfortunately.

Missed the "when 2 came out", was still at "the last couple of days"
>Ricard
Probably the same guy who later said that the gravetender is actually crestfallen from 1

If anything the samefag constantly posting that he is doing a replay of DS2 is the autist.

Does this guy really believe that if he constantly samefags and keeps telling everyone that he is replaying DS2 that he'll get everyone to play it again and quit DS3 and BB?

There's a reason most of the souls community moved on to BB and DS3 and it's not just because they are the newest game because if that were true no-one would play BB and everyone would all be on DS3.

Now can you fuck off and stop killing the threads.

I'm a pretty big DS2 buttfucker, but I acknowledge that the game has way more problems than 1 and 3, probably combined even; agility is a shit mechanic that stat gates fights like Executioner's Chariot (unless you want to do it the slow gay way), SM was a pretty big misstep (although I think I might prefer it to DS3's "whoops you upgraded your weapon too much for your SL, enjoy no matches), and level/boss design is pretty lackluster most of the time compared to the other two games (excluding some DLC fights, which are great).
But one thing that DS2 did phenomenally and that I will always defend it for is how well it made "everything work". Between buffs/infusions for magic characters and RoBFlynn for physical, almost any weapon is perfectly usable, to the point where powerstanced ladles and malformed skulls were meta.

This isn't From Software fans general you mongoloid, this is Dark Souls / Demon's Souls general that sometimes discusses Bloodborne.
Fuck off with your pretentious TRUE AND HONEST FROMSOFT FAN wankery and kill yourself retard.

nice desu ne
god forbid I talk about something DS2 did well, in spite of being the black sheep of the franchise

>stat gates fights like Executioner's Chariot
Not really though, even with 98 AGI which is 1 level of ADP for most classes (0 for clerics mages and the knight) you can roll through it.

BUT BRO

YOU CAN PREPARE FOR THE BOSS FIGHTS THEREFORE IT IS THE BRAINY GAME FOR BRAINY GAMERS LIKE ME

I like the way it's done in DaS3 where you can have late game items but theycan't be fully upgraded

>malformed skulls
S L A M J A M

>outside of consumables was prohibited. Like in Bloodborne, twinking should be a reward for hard and tedious playthrough

Bloodborne is so fucking tedious in every single sense of the word and in every single way.

Like i really don't want to invest 50 fucking ours bare minimum to create a new character, this is not including GEMs. And if you fuck up your stats at ALL. The character is permanently ruined.

I love that in DS3 I can just mule over items to get a new archetype going without having to go through the entire game to get core items.

Sometimes I wish Dark Souls 2 didn't exist and is never talked about. But not because of how sadly disappointing it was, but rather how it continues to bring out the worst in the community three and a half fucking years after its release. Seriously, the rabid DaS2 apologists and the rabid DaS2 haters are just as bad as one another.

>But one thing that DS2 did phenomenally and that I will always defend it for is how well it made "everything work". Between buffs/infusions for magic characters and RoBFlynn for physical, almost any weapon is perfectly usable, to the point where powerstanced ladles and malformed skulls were meta.
>tfw door shields in 3 do pisspoor damage and cant even breach the 1k damage mark
>tfw no sanctum shield with 90% phys reduction, 400-500 damage a hit and heat-seeking tracking
DaS2 was silly as fuck but it did gimmicky stuff much better, everything in 3 feels kinda too streamlined and refined.

>98 AGI
shit son, that's more than you'll ever need
the lowest you can reliably roll through the chariot spike+scythe is at 88 AGI

I really need to make a Dragon Warrior build someday, and Malformed Skull is definitely gonna be one of the weapons I'll use.

Sometimes the DS2 / DS3 tard shitposting gets so bad I wish ENB poster came back just so that the thread could unite in hating him.

I actually meant 86, have no fucking idea why 98 popped into me head

Best waifu coming through

>everything in 3 feels kinda too streamlined and refined.

>DS3 is basically too polished for me. I prefer my games to be a complete mess

Challenge runs aren't just about staying at low levels or parrying everything. You can do something silly like "r2 only" or " deal no damage". One of the toughest must be "receive no damage"
I don't mind agility, I think having to invest for a playstyle to be effective is a good idea. But before removing iframes from rolls (and honestly I wouldn't care if rolls had 0 iframes without investment) they should have fixed the way the hitbox moves while rolling. Afaik it's in all games (possibly AC too) but only in ds2 does that cause problems

i cant think of a fashion that would be good for that

GAVLAN WHEEL
GAVLAN DEAL

Dragon Stones, duh.
I know I could use the Black Dragon weapons with the "armour" but that's just too generic in all honesty.

What would happen if you somehow sold a wheel to Gavlan?

not him, but you could think of it as (and don't take the quality of the games I reference into the equation, it's just an example) League versus Dota, Overwatch versus Paladins, etc. Hell, maybe Morrowind versus Oblivion.
Janky games typically let you get away with doing more shit, which is what feeds into the lack of polish and jankyness. Polished games can sometimes feel restrictive in comparison, even if the limited options are more fleshed out and comprehensive.

>And if you fuck up your stats at ALL
How do you even fuck up your stats in BB? There are two general stats one of which you shouldn't really level past 15 (or 20 if you're using some of the heaviest weapons), and then there are 4 offensive stats. No adaptability, resistance of vitality. Its basic as fuck.
>I love that in DS3 I can just mule over items to get a new archetype going without having to go through the entire game to get core items.
Soulsborne series games are engaging, fun videogames with relatively high replayability. If you cant breeze through PvE you don't deserve the enhanced PvP.

>tfw FROM is no longer making any Souls games, so VaatiShillya will eventually run out of ideas for muh sad feelz lore videos.

He gives you a ring that grows you a majestic beard and makes you 30% shorter

Why didn't the Bonewheel shield make it back to DS2?

From will just make a new dark fantasy I.P

Then can you please just go play your janky games and shut the fuck up. You faggots are killing the general. Everytime you start this up the general loses near 50% of the posters for days.

Stop it. No one wins from everyone shit posting constantly.

Even if you're female?

>powerstanced bonewheels

oh right, i forgot stone on 2 is actually armor
dont worry they're pretty bad

>people are discussing a game that falls under the purview of this general, I must stop them!

doesn't seem like that'll be anytime soon, he just posted another yesterday
he's going back to das1

Implying BB2 is not going to happen... any time now.

Of course. All dwarfs have beards, male or female (male)

Peesonally when the threads slow down enough I go shit post on bbg and acg instead. But it's too easy to get (You's) over there and I don't value them as high as dsg (You's)

The fact that he's going back to DaS1 means that he's running out of ideas.
If it doesn't get announced at PSX this year, then it will not be announced ever.

Does he still churn that bullshit out?
