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

[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;52064284]I like to think that the [sp]locust guy is referring to Orbeck. Orbeck has you traveling the entire game picking up scrolls for him to learn new spells. Once he gets them all, he hollows out dead in a seat at the Grand Archives. He found the knowledge too much to take in and his mind broke. It's better off being blissfully unaware of the unknown than to go insane with knowledge unbound as it seems.
The Aldia theory works too.[/sp]
I haven't gotten to the second boss, and I think I already know too much. In the swamp I found [sp]The Dragonslayer armor kneeling at the edge. When I beat him the lore reads that "A champion of ash" bested him and his armor rusted. He was then revived by the abyss, more than likely hollowed out with memories of hunting dragons.
We're in the future?! How? Did the bonfires warp us century's into the future? I thought we just warped to ends of the earth from the looks of the Ringed City itself. Does time have no place in The Ringed City?[/sp][/QUOTE]
Wasnt the[sp]dragon slayer's armor just being moved around by the pilgrim butterflys [/sp] when you last saw it?
post dlc spoilers
[sp]I dont think theres actually any time travel, firelink is just in the hunter's dream or in this case probably queen lothric/gwynevere's dream like the ringed city[/sp]
[QUOTE=Raxas;52064219][sp]"One met the dark with learning. But in the end, learned his knowledge was wanting. The world began without knowledge, and without knowledge will it end. Dost not this ring clear and true?"[/sp]
Pretty sure this piece of dialogue is a reference to him, but it's still ambiguous as hell, [sp]as it fails to identify the parameters by which the locust judges Aldia's knowledge to be 'wanting'.[/sp][/QUOTE]
I honestly thought he was talking about King Vendrick since he mentions his "knowledge was wanting" aka the Throne of Want.
[QUOTE=Daemon White;52064491][sp]In Fillianore's rest, in the distance is Anor Londo and Lothric Castle, so... what does that mean? The environment kinda matches the one from the opening cutscene[/sp][/QUOTE]
I think the only one time travel was [sp]at the end after waking Filianore[/sp]. Lothric Castle was built upon the remnants of the Duke's Archives, so of course it'll be right next to Anor Londo.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;52064494]So were all infusions totally fucked up by the patch, or was it just elemental infusions? My raw sword dropped a ton of ar.[/QUOTE]
They goofed up hard and From's already fixing it.

Did they fix the matchmaking for the Spears boss? 'Cuz I'm suddenly getting summoned quite a lot now, it's pretty great. Unless I'm just incredibly lucky right now.
[editline]derp[/editline]
No, spoke too soon. Guess I just got lucky. :v:
Also, the nerf to the boss in 1v2-1v4 is hardly noticeable, I'm still creaming the ones I run into. Well, most of them anyway.

[sp]crap, I forgot about the fucked up firelink you get sent to at the end. Time has to have moved forward for that to work.[/sp]
[sp]Well, for the ash lady to remember you if you talk to her at lothric castle before firelink must mean that all of the base game takes place in the past and only once you get all the lord cinders do you get to the real firelink shrine.
This dlc is set at that time and you go through ashen lothric till you get to the demons so the ringed city should still be at that time. If it was all an illusion that doesnt explain why you can go back to the city after you touch fillianore except shes not in her room. Unless thats just for gameplay or whatever.[/sp]
Just came back to my UGS build after beating the game as a greatsword mage.
Wiped Old Demon King and Champion Gundyr in one try, got the Black Iron set and infused my Zweihander.
I guess having experience counts, these bosses gave me a lot of grief last time I tried with this build, but they're piss easy now.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;52064171]US vs JP covers are always sad to look at.

Sure you could have the one that's striking and unique and gives a clear impression of the game's tone, or you could have "guy walking away from the camera".

By the time they got to Bloodborne they gave up and and said "fuck it just let us do it this time".
DS1's US/ EU cover still pisses me off - why is he holding his sword and shield in the wrong hands?
He's pretending to be Link. Another reference how Souls games are just adult Zelda games.
To be fair I do like the US DS2 cover.
Abd besides it's not like Japan has a one up because they just have them sitting down looking at a source of light

Look at the sword and shield themselves and you'll have your answer.

That nerf barely scratched it, that shit's still powerful as fuck. :scream:
[sp]And I embrace the cancer for using it.[/sp]
I still think the old whips from ds2 were the most stupid ridiculous thing ever
just combo people through brick walls dealing like half their health per hit

Is it post funny pictures time? :v:
up against pursuer. Notice phantom sign. Sure, why not
Notice he's distracting pursuer. Run for a ballista. Notice other ballista is actually lined up.
Press B to back out
it doesn't back out. It fires. It kills phantom
why
It's a shame the paired greatswords are such a meme weapon now, I liked running it in Dark Souls 2 and now everybody looks at me funny for just wanting to swing the most shit around.

You can coop with more than one person at once, unless that's not what you meant.

This just made me realize that Pruld didn't even use the real DS3 dragon form model, just some fan-made one. :v:
I completely forgot there even was a dragon model in ds3.
Lapp's armor only makes up for not having Eleum Loyce Knight one.
I want more joustel armors. Also Splitleaf Greatsword makes me enjoy halberds again

They nerfed Raw Astora SS for some reason. From 322ar to 301

All the infusions (except Heavy, Sharp, and Refined) are fucked at the moment. From already stated the changes were a mistake and are going to revert them back very soon.

It's such a shame they had so little durability.
Falchion / Warped Sword mainhand with off-hand Old Whip is a personal favourite

Shame, most other raw weapons received a nice little buff. The longsword hits 309ar and the Broadsword now took Astora SS' place

Well whenever the next patch is. Hope there is an ETA soon. It killed my SL1 run.
