AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I might attempt at Dark Souls again, screw that black-knight character guarding that chest, I can't parry worth shit and he's the only problem I've been having since day one.

I'll do the latter trick with the Taurus, god help me, I hope I make it.

Man if you're havin problems with Taurus you're in for some shit

This is a little old, but the guy who made that video actually got on Kotaku:

So I just finished the second DLC yesterday and it was completely awesome. Blew the first one out of the water imo

Can not wait till the next one oh man

vax

have you gone to the memory of the king to talk to him? he says new shit whenever you get a new crown

I never did the trick yet, gonna be doing it when I get the motivation.

I know I shouldn't look forward to Blighttown though.

same, they did a pretty good job with this dlc in general. im kinda hoping theres gonna be more

finally diggin' into DS1

fuck the depths this place is horrid

gaping dragon was pretty cool though

Going through the depths the first time I was just super-scared and disgusted, I had to REALLY try and force myself through it.
But then going through it again it's just like "this place is nothing."

Just remembered how cool this forum is. Thought I might contribute.

hex builds in dks2 are so good
old news i know but the stuff in the game that lets you get better casting time (ATN, lion mage set, clear bluestone ring, upgradable staff cast speeds) make mages way, way more versatile. casting and rolling feels as natural to me as swordpoking and blocking (and is faster and does more damage on average imo)
currently doing abyss seal + buffing the dark chaos blade for maximum draining of my starting hp. i'm having trouble finding petrified dragon bones tho, i guess you're supposed to wait until the aerie but is there any other way to get them earlier?

also i really hate the change they made to the standard backstab animation. thrusting a sword through a dude's back at least made sense and felt good but kicking a guy down to a kneeling position and lashing him on the back with a sword three times makes way less sense, at least to me. also you can get hit during it which is hellsa lame

hex builds are actually severely OP due to a lot of them being cast from very very high cast rate chimes which also have high dark damage, as opposed to sorceries being cast at a generally much slower speed with the high magic damage staves. this, along with dark damage being the new lightning with no real solid defenses against it, makes it really just massively horrible.

you know what's more fun

bleed builds are fun

if just for the wild mass confusion people have when you manage to bleed them out

it's much worse than DS1 damage wise, but there's something to be said about the psychological aspect. i've seen plenty of people who shield up and try to somehow prevent 500+ bleed every hit, and then freak out when that doesn't work for them, followed by them continuing to shield and easily guard broken and riposted.

it's also great because some really fun weapons have bleed damage, including the flamberge, which is quickly becoming my favorite greatsword.

the general tactic is use flamberge for actually attacking, with a notched whip in the offhand because like fucking 300 bleed damage, and when they back off from the sword start building the bleed. i also generally keep another whip for power stance reasons, and two hits from that is like immediate bleed.

it's so fun i love it

i don't even do pvp, i was just talkin bout goin through the game. the pvp i have done in the belltower has been pretty ez, all you gotta do is spam dark orb (and dark fog, if you wanna be even more of a dick)
i'm sure the chime hexes are better, they're just annoying to deal with because souls and attunement slots are valuable

so was i
