Earning embers is fun. Jolly co-op time!
Yeah it's in ng+ anyway. Just means I have to help other people and then get embers like that so it's not too big of a deal reallyI hope that you've already beat The Nameless King
It's the first thing, easy 1000 souls and I had 60 of them... oh wellWhy would you sell Embers anyway? There's so much useless shit you accumulate.
Well you have 60k souls nowIt's the first thing, easy 1000 souls and I had 60 of them... oh well
Hehh, I was the other way around. Once I figured out the first phase (slaughtered the camera) I got him down quite fast (in NG+) as the second phase is just the usual 'I'm super fast and relentless' Dark Souls 3 bossfight.Hah.... that Nameless King, man... Can semi-reliably make it to the 2nd phase, but I've merely managed to whittle him down 1/5 after that. This will take some doing!
edit: Nearly got him down to half!
What build are you playing? I was stuck on O&S with a strength build using a zweihander, wanted to track back and get pyromancy but noticed that I screwed that up. Now I started another playthrough with a dex build using the uchigatana (and pyromancy), going quite smooth so far.Decided to go back to DS1, as I was on a second playthrough of that, stuck on O&S, who I had decided to solo as a point of pride.
Having finished DS3 and dealt with that for a month, and then coming back to DS1, I killed off O&S on my 2nd attempt, with relative ease
It's crazy how much slower the combat feels, even in a notorious fight like this one.
I beat them at level 55, strength build, with a sprinkle of dex. I've mainly been using my uchi, infused with electricity, but that doesn't cut it for this fight, used black knight sword +2 to take them down.What build are you playing?

You might have to look up how to do it; I, at least, didn't find it on my first playthrough.Oh you can respec, thank god. My character is an absolute mess at this point.
I found the lady who lets you last night, that's how I found out. Nice little surprise, I thought she was a boss at first.You might have to look up how to do it; I, at least, didn't find it on my first playthrough.
It's the rosaria's finger covenant, give her a pale tongue and you can respecYou might have to look up how to do it; I, at least, didn't find it on my first playthrough.
Killed High King Wolnir pretty easily last night, then proceeded to get my ass kicked by the Fire Demon below him, the Old Demon King below him, whoever is shooting arrows at me in Smouldering Lake, and the thing guarding the bridge to Irithyll. fecking Souls
Most weapons scale with attributes and at different rates. At a certain point, investing in upgrades to weapons increases damage more than upgrading strength etc but there's only a finite amount of the later materials used to fully upgrade a weapon.I just started playing Dark Souls 1: prepare to die edition and it's a pretty amazing game.
Anyone have tips for a warrior trying a strength build? I don't really know what Im doing and wondering if i should be leveling up whenever i get the chance? No spoilers plz
I completely forgot there's 2h weapons!Most weapons scale with attributes and at different rates. At a certain point, investing in upgrades to weapons increases damage more than upgrading strength etc but there's only a finite amount of the later materials used to fully upgrade a weapon.
I used a Claymore which I believed scaled with Strength and Dexterity, so upgrading them with stamina and health is the way to go. I'd recommend trying a few weapons and see which moveset you like best and upgrade it according to the scaling abilities.
I didn't know that carrying more stuff slows down my movement, makes sense but most games don't employ that mechanic. Thanks for the helpful advise!Then there's the obligatory "kill the dogs first" tip. You'll know what that means when the time is right.
Btw, there's a time for tanking bosses, but most of the time you want to be at least below the 50% threshold when it comes to equip load. Being able to dodge roll quicker is handy, and once you learn how to use the invincibility frames (if you time a dodge right, you can go right through someone's sword strike and take no damage) it gets a lot easier.
Good luck and enjoy. Smashing my face against the wall of Dark Souls again and again until I got decent at it has been the most rewarding experience of my gaming life
No prob! I love hearing from first-timers fighting their way through the game, so if you feel like venting or asking questions, feel free to bump the Dark Souls thread (there's one for the first game too)I completely forgot there's 2h weapons!

If you are new to Souls game, i would recommend a quality build, levelling up both strength and dex so you can try out a variety of weapons and see which one suits you the best.I just started playing Dark Souls 1: prepare to die edition and it's a pretty amazing game.

You won't have to wait long.Just entered Irithyll of the Boreal Valley which looks absolutely stunning. The art design in these games and Bloodborne is some of the best I have seen.
I have to ask if anyone else found the early bosses in this game really easy compared to the others? I haven't taken more than three attempts to beat any of them so far and I'm still waiting for that moment where I almost give up which the other games have always had.
I found DS2, DS3 and Bloodborne (except the DLC - the bosses were hateful!) pretty easy in comparison to Demon's Souls and DS1.I have to ask if anyone else found the early bosses in this game really easy compared to the others?

The Nameless King was a real pain in the ass.... don´t think i´ve been so happy after beating a boss in any other game. That said i had quite a few problems with Champion Gundyr as well.I found DS2, DS3 and Bloodborne (except the DLC - the bosses were hateful!) pretty easy in comparison to Demon's Souls and DS1.
As for DS3, the only boss that made me want to launch the controller was The Nameless King and that is optional. Loads of them I did first time.
Not Pontiff? Had to summon for him in the end.I found DS2, DS3 and Bloodborne (except the DLC - the bosses were hateful!) pretty easy in comparison to Demon's Souls and DS1.
