Dark Souls and Demon's Souls Megathread VI. Katana Gank Squad Edition - Games

[QUOTE=mentalmoustache;47571520]first two mostly, claymore, mammoth, zwei, greatsword, fume. I've had some success switching it up with the butchers knife but I always end up eating more than I dish out. I tried using miracles on the disc chime but aside from great magic barrier and sunlight blade it didnt help much. What infusions work good for crossbows? I've gone raw for my max heavy and avelyn but they never seem that effective.[/QUOTE] if you want to use slower weapons like those, you have to bait your opponents to do any sort of damage. for example, if you're using the zweihander, try a 2h r1, you can pause a bit before another r1. also take advantage of the fact that you can turn around almost 180 during your swing with slower weapons if you play without lock on. i also like pretending to run and nailing them with the turnaround r2 as they sprint towards you. works well with ultra greatswords and curved greatswords.

Well, I can chalk off Lud and Zallen as bosses I've killed without a summon. God damn, I initially thought it was a poorly designed fight all around, but then I realized it was a good fight, it just had the shittiest execution for getting there. All DLC bosses are top notch, I think. That includes the Grave Trio, who I think From expected you to do a counter-raid against with two summons. Kinda like robbing the robbers.

I've beaten every Dark Souls boss alone. Except for [sp]Aldia but only because I don't play DkSII any longer[/sp]

Well I hit a wall. I'm in Lagtown and I really don't know where to go. I mean, I got to the bottom and got to the swamp, but its eaten through all of my poison cure moss, not to mention walking around in it is annoying as all get. I found some placed called the Great Hollow but all I did was fall to my death and lose 10k souls and my life thingy was stuck on a branch that required me to not die on the way down to get it. Then I went the other way, towards the giant guys with boulders, got fubbernucked by the weird sluggish guys near the mist door because those tiny fuckers do more damage than they should. Queelag is another generic "two shot death" boss that I can't seem to properly fight because she downs me with either her fiery fuck sword or instant kill explosion that I sometimes get trapped in because the tell isn't as noticeable as I once thought or the spider legs decide "naw son you staying here". No humanity left because either I died multiple times to a group that I can't lure out properly unless I get lucky or an invader, which was weird because it was just 4. Figured they came in if you had 30 or so lying around. And then I finally go back to Firelink Shrine because I wanted to explore, find my bonfire unlightable because the firekeeper person kicked the bucket, and I can't use the orb thingy. Probably need to be human, which requires humanity, which I lack. I then died in New Londo Ruins because I thought the stairs were there but they weren't and I respawned in Lagtown. Probably gonna just let this sit aside for a while..

Thanks for the encouragement, but I am really demoralized from her/the constant dying. I have a +4 sword and +3-4 leather armor. I have a funny feeling its not good enough :c

does anyone have that video making fun of Vaati by compiling all the times he's called something souls-like, like Destiny and stuff?

Are summoned players supposed to return to their world after defeating the loyce knight onslaught in the old chaos? Or did these guys just abandon me and get something i dont know about

[QUOTE=DS_;47576946]Are summoned players supposed to return to their world after defeating the loyce knight onslaught in the old chaos?

Once you beat them and the Ivory King appears, they can't get any more of those items so they leave.

I'd probably punch them all to death effortlessly in time

Those Mimic's are gonna give me nightmares.

i hope From will never sees these ideas :tinfoil:

Thing about those mimics is that I'd eventually just smack the shit out of everything that can be a mimic, just like I used to do with chests before just remembering their positions.

[QUOTE=PopSkimo;47579486]I'd honestly really like to see this design if anything.[/QUOTE] All the Mimic concepts are pretty rad, imo, keeps the player constantly paranoid and wacking at shit like a madman.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;47578645]Thing about those mimics is that I'd eventually just smack the shit out of everything that can be a mimic, just like I used to do with chests before just remembering their positions.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind if they just didn't react to hits until you aggro'd them as long as there were some subtle cues you could look for to tell if it's a mimic or not. I think they have those anyway if you look closely, right? My problem is them eating me even after I've gotten a few hits in.

a secret area full of mimic bonfires, ladders, corpses, and walls would be the most incredible thing

It may just be the lighting in the area I last ran into one but I [I]think[/I] they're made out of darker wood than real chests too. You can also see them breathing if you look very closely.

Oh the Imperious Knight with arrows was an idea that i gave him but it surprised he added corrosive. Basically what i imagined: Tower of Latria's statue with crossbows combined with the Orma\Reeve's shields, i'm quite happy of the results :v:

[QUOTE=BuDSpOoNce;47580115]a secret area full of mimic bonfires, ladders, corpses, and walls would be the most incredible thing[/QUOTE] And put some of the best items there so it's risk vs reward

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;47578676]I was kinda hoping from would make chests in ng+ be randomized to be mimics.[/QUOTE] Well, not quite as good as randomized Mimics, but they swapped Mimic locations in NG+ for Scholar of the first sin.

I don't like what they did with the mimics in this game. They're way less of a threat once they're aggroed now. They aren't delivering round-house kicks to your face anymore.

[editline]23rd April 2015[/editline] Oh it was a [sp]Divine Blessing.[/sp] I never use those so no loss to me. [editline]23rd April 2015[/editline] Actually I think that's what we'd need a little more of. Things that look like the Mimic versions, but aren't, and vice versa. Makes you paranoid about everything.

I couldn't stop laughing at them but i'd prefer having a more realistic position.

can anyone assist me with getting into PVP? at the moment i'm a havel faggot and i just don't know what to use instead because it all feels so super weak

What's your level and stats?
