Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition(360,PS3,PC)v3 - Dark Magic is perfectly balanced - Games

Black Knight Shield is one of the best shields.

My [url=http://miheiceda.deviantart.com/]big brother[/url] drew this: [img]http://www.1337upload.net/files/Profilekuva.png[/img] And I made this, it's supposed to be a remix of the ash lake soundtrack but I got a little excited :v: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsi1ywQfW2c[/media]

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;39217808]Only one reason to use shields without 100% resistance, karmic justice[/QUOTE] The Target Shield and Buckler have their uses for people more interested in parrying than blocking.

It's not hard to parry with a medium shield though.

[QUOTE=lockdown6;39213570]sen's fortress has arguably the hardest boss in the game[/QUOTE] What? You can WALK out of the way of his attacks. And when you get him to fall down on his knees, the fight should pretty much be over.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;39217900]It's not hard to parry with a medium shield though.[/QUOTE] But it feels so much more badass when you do it with a parrying dagger/<100 physical defense shield.

I didn't know until the gaping dragon that this game supported locational damage...now I'm kinda wondering which tailed bosses I lost out on so far...

I never found Leo Ring useful since instead of doing a counter you can just riposte on regular enemies

[QUOTE=Itszutak;39218081]I didn't know until the gaping dragon that this game supported locational damage...now I'm kinda wondering which tailed bosses I lost out on so far...[/QUOTE] The Bell Gargoyles drop an axe when you cut off the tail. I don't think there are any other bosses you can do before Gaping Dragon where you can cut off their tail. There is the Hellkite Drake but you can cut his tail off with arrows and you're nlikely to have killed him yet.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;39218079]But it feels so much more badass when you do it with a parrying dagger/<100 physical defense shield.[/QUOTE] Yeah a parry dagger I could understand but I don't really count that as a shield personally If I was interested in parrying I'd go all out and get the dagger or other similar weapon (like scimitar) instead of getting a really crappy shield to do the same job

The best part about a parrying dagger in the offhand is that you can make it lightning +5 and surprise people with quick jabs.

By the time you're a match for him there's really no point in killing him since you're miles beyond Burg and can warp between bonfires.

[QUOTE=HALP Cat;39218115]I never found Leo Ring useful since instead of doing a counter you can just riposte on regular enemies[/QUOTE] Leo ring is situational but compeltely rapes when used well Best part about it is that it apparently works on all longsword attacks since the longsword is technically considered thrusting. Gives you a massive damage boost when you attack while the enemy is attacking. Parrying is harder to do because you have to parry at the exact moment of when the enemy is landing the attack, but doing a "counter" (aka landing a hit while the enemy is attacking) is for the entire duration of the attack animation. This makes it really really good against enemies with longer attack animations. You already do a 22% damage bonus against enemies who are attacking, and the leo ring makes it so you do 66% extra damage on such attacks, which is a huge buff. You might as well have the capability to do a mini-backstab without needing to actually backstab at all, especially if you add additional damage buffs like power within. It's especially deadly if you go without a shield or make it so you appear more open to standard attacks - then you'll get attacked more often by other players which gives you more openings to deal bonus leo ring damage. The fun fact of the day is that leo ring works on crossbows/bows as well, so its great to use if you are a crossbow user to supplement the damage you do with your main weapon.

Well guys, after a long journey, here we are at the final part! Special thanks to all you FP bros that have been supporting this series :3 For people not following this series, I think my fight with [sp]Gwyn[/sp] was super cool, you can check that out at 17:00 if you want.

[QUOTE=Foogooman;39218360][B]SL1 Guide 14 - The Beginning and The End[/B][/QUOTE] Guess it's a little late, but I subbed you. Gonna go ahead and watch the whole series, been loving me some DS walkthrough/commentary since I started playing. Good work mang.

i don't give a fuck how slow or pvp-useless the dragonslayer bow is, it's fucking hilarious and great

[QUOTE=dogmachines;39218248] Does anybody really make a point of killing him? By the time you're a match for him there's really no point in killing him since you're miles beyond Burg and can warp between bonfires.[/QUOTE] I kill him for the hell of it. If I'm going to kill most of the gods I may aswell kill the closest thing to a dragon too. Aside from Seath of course.

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;39218589]I hope there's a spell to put homing abilities on arrows in Dark Souls 2.[/QUOTE] They already lock on like fucking heat seeking missiles in DS1. Atleast the AI's do.

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;39218720]kalameet[/QUOTE] That's in the past.

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;39218589]I hope there's a spell to put homing abilities on arrows in Dark Souls 2.[/QUOTE] I personally think its weird how slow they travel. Of course I'd rather they not go super fast like they would IRL for my sanity against PvE but I feel like they'd be a lot more useful if projectiles actually traveled at faster speeds.

Does having 10 humanity increase your drop rate while being hollowed?

[QUOTE=rider695;39219288]Does having 10 humanity increase your drop rate while being hollowed?[/QUOTE] Yes. You gain all of held humanity's effects even when you're hollow, which includes the resistence bonuses up to 99.

What's wrong with a divine claymore?

[QUOTE=KorJax;39217375]Can you still do PvP in oolical (or whatever) township once you beat the DLC area? It's a pretty big pvp hotspot would suck to not be able to do anything there anymore once I beat the DLC (at least as far as me getting invaded goes)[/QUOTE] someone told me you can this is entirely false; when you kill manus oolacile will not give you any invaders however you can still be summoned and you can still invade [editline]14th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Rents;39220327]What's wrong with a divine [b]anything[/b][/QUOTE] [highlight]EVERYTHING[/highlight]
