Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread VIII. At The End - Games

[QUOTE=Skellyhell;50011000]i put all 3 gates up and went back the intended route and hes not there, im guessing i have missed an earlier trigger[/QUOTE] [sp]Do you know where the third lever is? Because i can only count two at the bottom floor where the giants would be and i cannot for the life of me find this third one.[/sp]

Sunlightblade has some funny vids,submitted a trolling vid for ds2 on youtube just recently,great fun.

So I've only just found (early NPC spoilers)[sp]Patches by going to the tower and actually talking to him before jumping off the bridge this time (stupid Vaati video, showing me what to do rather than discovering it for myself) and he sells strength-scaling black firebombs pretty cheap. Damn Screw what I said a few pages ago about throwing rocks at people's heads, this'll do nicely[/sp] But I do remember now (midgame NPC spoilers)[sp]Hearing Siegward down a well. Patches has his armour in his inventory, I'm guessing I should buy it all back? I've also been trying to find that damn third lever[/sp]

I just rediscovered a video my friend made of him and I dueling. Good fun: [video=youtube;ignL-v-kdGY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ignL-v-kdGY[/video]

Angry late game enemy spoilers - [sp]There's a special place in hell for these three golden cunts. You should know exactly who I'm talking about[/sp]

Is it just me or are the lockons a little sketchy? When I right click I'd rather lock on to an enemy behind me (that the camera is pointed at, with my back to) rather than reset the camera to where I'm facing This becomes especially problematic when I roll backwards immediately afterward, which instead of moving me further away from the enemy (if I did lock on) instead rolls me directly towards the enemy (because it reset my camera to where I'm facing, which is away from the enemy, meaning I roll backwards into them) I can't remember it being this bad in other games. Shit like not being able to lock on at a short distance, not being able to lock on when the enemy is clearly in view but something small is obsctructing it, losing lockon very fast when enemy goes behind obstacle/when an enemy flies a short distance overhead It's nearly got me killed plenty of times but this is the first time that I've died thanks to it. Infuriating

Infuriating[/QUOTE] I've never heard anyone else mention issues with locking on.

Not really having any issues with the lock on either. Although Panic rolling at certain enemies does prove to be my undoing and the lock on can get you trapped in a gank or something bad. There is always more than meets the eye with these environments. This knowledge will help with future characters quite a bit. I spent the past two/three hours in the one place trying to find something. Not going to mention the conclusion but i think where i was will be one of my invading spots. Oh, and Skellyhell, going back to previous conversation - [sp]If your looking for Mr Master of Disguise, find some stairs at the hub area. It's kinda/almost like the Nexus if you've played Demons Souls. [/sp]

[QUOTE=archangel125;50012867]I've never heard anyone else mention issues with locking on.[/QUOTE] You sort of have to feel it out. I think I'm only especially noticing it with these (late game enemy spoilers)[sp]Golden winged knights, because of their range and distance closing attacks[/sp] In other news, jesus christ this boss is hard, in a really tanky way (late game boss spoilers)[sp]The teleporting one. You know which one I mean It seems insane to me that it's basically a double boss in one. Maybe a +7 claymore isn't going to cut it edit: OK turns out I have 25 chunks lmao. Let's max this shit edit: Jesus christ 22 demon titanite as well? This game really showers you with upgrade materials[/sp] edit: killed by the lockon breaking again. The fuck Oh, it's[sp]part of the attack.[/sp]

[QUOTE=archangel125;50012867]I've never heard anyone else mention issues with locking on.[/QUOTE] Wait till you do any PvP with the new increased limit and variety in invader types, you cant do anything if you use the lockon it just flings your camera in any direction.

What do you guys think the soul-meta should be? I've heard numbers ranging from 100-150.

I want to bet on 120...? What was it in Dark Souls 1 again? 100 odd?

[QUOTE=Highwind017;50013021]I want to bet on 120...? What was it in Dark Souls 1 again? 100 odd?[/QUOTE] Some people played on SL99, but I want to say that most were 125

Is there any means to farm Titanite chunks and slabs in Dark Souls 3? A simple yes or no for each will suffice.

[QUOTE=Highwind017;50013021]I want to bet on 120...? What was it in Dark Souls 1 again? 100 odd?[/QUOTE] 100, 125, and 150 I believe were the "PvP" levels I remember seeing people talk about.

[QUOTE=Senscith;50013034]100, 125, and 150 I believe were the "PvP" levels I remember seeing people talk about.[/QUOTE] I'm betting much higher in Dark Souls 3, since Endurance and Vitality follow the Dark Souls 2 style. 200's the best bet.

[QUOTE=archangel125;50013031]Is there any means to farm Titanite chunks and slabs in Dark Souls 3? A simple yes or no for each will suffice.[/QUOTE] Found chunks I think, not even found a slab.

[QUOTE=archangel125;50013072]I'm betting much higher in Dark Souls 3, since Endurance and Vitality follow the Dark Souls 2 style. 200's the best bet.[/QUOTE] 200 may be a little high. DS2 had adaptability, and having that at 25 or whatever was a prerequisite for pretty much every build DS2 PVP was either 150, or 200- depending on who you talk to

What i want to know is how the weapon's upgrade level effects matchmaking, but that might be too early to ask that. I didnt pvp as much on Dark Souls 2 but i never stuck to a level limit due to soul memory. Plus, for DkS3, i havent found any of those essential rings and i dont even know if they exist. Those will maybe put down the level meta if they are discovered and have a fair impact. Hopefully Plus versions of said rings dont exist, just so you can get the main upgrade all in one and not in instalments.

[QUOTE=myng;50013100]200 may be a little high. DS2 had adaptability, and having that at 25 or whatever was a prerequisite for pretty much every build DS2 PVP was either 150, or 200- depending on who you talk to[/QUOTE] 180ish, then? In the high range. 150 in the low range. Frankly, I don't see builds becoming too unbalanced between 150 and 180, or even at 200.

I don't need high endurance or vigor all I need is STRENGTH

Your first run has to be strength only. Level strength as your only stat. When you hit 99, buy strength weapons and drop them for the needy.

So I accidentally peeped some spoilers and [sp]jesus please not fluffy tail, oh god i'll do anything just bring her back to me[/sp] really looking forward to the game now

A friend just bought Dark Souls 1. Tried to help him get started. He's in the burg and I'm trying to let him summon me but it seems to be impossible. Tried for a while without a assist and got nothing, tried one of those connection fix programs to put us in the same MP channel and my summon sign showed up after a few minutes but he crashes when he tries to use it.

Also be sure your Steam name isn't longer than 14 characters, I heard that can also cause crashes.

Picked up Bloodborne again and just killed Blood Starved Beast. With a +3 Threaded Cane and 19 points in skill I was hitting him for 62 damage on R1 attacks with the whip mode. Is that low or normal? The fight felt absurdly long to me.
