Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread XIII. The Ringed City - Games

[Sp]Demon Prince[/sp] felt more like it belonged in Bloodborne than it did in Dark Souls 3. Felt like I was fighting Vicar Amelia again but this time she could [sp]shoot motherfuckin' lasers.[/sp] He has a lot of health and resistances for a boss that never stops moving. It makes the fight feel like it goes on way too long and I ended up having to cheap it out with Gnawing because on NG he got way too much health and resistances for me to reasonably handle with my build. One that literally allowed me to wreck any boss minus ones resistant to lightning, and I have non-lightning based weapons for that.

Fuck Lapp, fuck Miyazaki. Questline spoilers i guess [sp]He's fucking Patches? Really? I made sure to kill Patches in the Cathedral before restarting the Ringed City. Lapp still there so i thought they outsourced voice actors or wanted to give the VA a sense of kidness once in a while. Nope, extremely nope. The only NPC along with the old lady that i cared a bit turned to be a living meme combined with "time is convoluted" shit.[/sp] It wasn't worth my time

I really dislike how people will summon 2-3 people for the bosses in the dlc. It just makes it take so much longer.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;52029503]I really dislike how people will summon 2-3 people for the bosses in the dlc. It just makes it take so much longer.[/QUOTE] Fun as hell for [sp]Satan[/sp] though. Leaves a lot of openings for a lot of hits, so Heavy Harald + Frozen Weapon + Pontiff's Right and a full bar of stamina equals over a thousand damage, easy. So when you've got three Phantoms ganging up on of them, he can go down in around a minute or less.

Well, I still have the frame freezing issue. It's been months since the issue started, and I can't for the life of me figure out what the problem is. I've checked USB device connections, hardware usage (all optimal) steam settings, nvidia settings, and yet the flow of my game is completely fucked. I have to play in offline because if I get invaded, my game may freeze but the other player can still fuck my shit up. Funny how the one game I actually want to play is practically unplayable for the dumbest of reasons.

I actually enjoyed all the bosses in the DLC. Except for[sp]Halflight. It's just stupidly lame NPC fight. Fuck off with that.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Linda,Octopus;52029849]Boss spoils yo [sp]BOSS INVASIONS, sounds like you played it offline or something 'cause usually it summons a dude to pvp you to death[/sp][/QUOTE] I did. :v: But it seems[sp]that a painting guardian takes the place of a player if you're playing offline.[/sp]Still a lame fight, imo.

snip read wrong or did I, honestly I'm confused now.

[QUOTE=Captain;52029856]I did. :v: But it seems[sp]that a painting guardian takes the place of a player if you're playing offline.[/sp]Still a lame fight, imo.[/QUOTE] [sp] The Painting Guardians are npc adds. The offline boss is a random player that uses the dlc katana, bow and such. The online player replaces that guy[/sp] I enjoy that boss, it was about time too.

Wait,[sp]so the fight is actually boss fight against a player if you're playing online?[/sp] Actually sounds pretty interesting, but[sp]I think I still wouldn't enjoy it since I generally don't like the PvP in these games.[/sp]:pudge:

[sp]We should have been able to get a boss soul named after the invader.[/sp]

So those [sp]dual greatswords[/sp] are broken as fuck. Even the basic attacks have hyper armor.

This is the shit I've been dealing with as a watchdog. D: [t]https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/85973328537306428/38E640F0A3E0A461D18C722C2E37D53414F487A4/[/t] Can't do shit against this, doesn't help that I keep invading this person.

Time to get a weapon with shield splitter.

[QUOTE=Mentlegen;52030041]So those [sp]dual greatswords[/sp] are broken as fuck. Even the basic attacks have hyper armor.[/QUOTE] I've been invading with them. Great fun

Holy fuck, I managed to beat O&S on my second try, even with Solaire's help it was a battle of wits, holy shit. I wanted to kill Smough first because getting Orn's lightning spear + Leo ring would be fucking baller with my current Dex built, but Solaire beat the fuck out of Orn and I had to go after Smough instead. Still, it was a fucking awesome fight and I can't wait to do it again. Now, off to see some good tiddies.

Boss spoilers:[sp]I feel a little happy that the sword I've used all game (Executioner GS) is the weapon that Gael uses. I just thought that was a personal cool feeling.[/sp]

Did my best to reach Lightning Arrow as fast as possible and of course with 60 FTH and Yorshka chime +5 it deals ~245 damage on drakeblood knight. This makes it best ranged offensive miracle at damage-FP cost ratio. And you don't need to melee with it like you have to with all 3 spears. I give up on pure FTH build.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;52030194]S'why i'm going STR/FTH on mine :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah, tnx to overnerf back in DaS2 offensive miracles are worthless garbage and FTH in general was dumbed down to buff/heal support builds.

Are you planning on getting to max level?

Finally beat TRC @ sl160 ng+7, fantastic stuff, dont really care for the lore but i can see why people didn't like that aspect of it. I'd rank the DLCs as Old Hunters > Ringed City/Ashes > Lost Crowns = Artorias of the Abyss. [QUOTE=BuDSpOoNce;52027047] he's definitely the best large boss in the series[/QUOTE] Dont get the hate on [sp]Midir[/sp] thought it was awesome, especially that theme. But i like defiled watchdog and defiled amy so maybe that plays into it.

Defiled Chalices are for the pure masochists. :v: [editline]29th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=PotatoArmada;52029314]I can't find Lapp at the third location, I know I definitely met him at the second cuz he gave me a slab. It may be bugged since I also didn't get Ledo's invasion so I missed out on the hammer.[/QUOTE] Lapp doesn't move until after you pick up the Ring of Favor +3 in the poison swamp. Check your inventory to see if you have it.

So I finally got far enough with Lapp's questline and...well...[sp]Did I just witness Patches bid a final farewell to the Dark Souls series?[/sp]

Weapon thoughts, spoilers ahead [sp]I really like the Aquamarine Dagger. At first, I didn't think much of it because I thought it would be an actual straight sword, and when I saw it was just a dagger with a little gimmick attached to it I was disappointed... Until I tried it out. Basically, holding the weapon art button changes the dagger into a straight sword with dagger R1's and some longer ranged, poking R2s. You can switch before you start attacking, but you can also switch mid combo, through a rolling attack, and through a running attack by pressing the weapon art button instead of R1 or R2. I think that having the standard dagger 1h slash with straight sword range is really good, and there is a bit of a damage increase as well, turning into a weaker straight sword. At 40 int/dex i deal around 190 per hit with the dagger and 210 with the sword. Although, this weapon is best utilized two handed or with a weapon art shield to maximize the capabilities, which makes using the weapon as a side-arm while holding a staff or simply using a parry shield with it a weak option. But overall, it's pretty anime. [/sp]

so I can't tell if I'm crazy but some dude on reddit said there's way more trees in the crucifixion woods/farron keep and I wen't back to check and it looks like he's right? there seems to be almost twice as many trees
