Moonlight Greatsword looking goooood
it can't be blocked by normal means and IT can block magic damage
you can find it somewhere in 5-2. Hell, there's another weapon that bypasses shields in 5-2 as well lol

Latria is amazing. Levels 3,4 and 5 are fantastic
I think I’ll just beat 1-4 now ... grinding shards for weapon upgrades is getting old. Prolly start ng+ but I’m toying starting a dex build. Lots of good dex weapons

Trying out different builds is more fun to me than going straight into ng+ with the same char
hey you can even enable Fractured/Mirror mode to shake things up even more

Controller seems to be working fine now after restarting the game this morning. Really weird.
Got the trophy for killing Astrea before Garl, although I think my game glitched since instead of killing himself afterwards he's just stuck in the plague swamp with his head hung in shame lol

Killed the king. Fucker took 3 strength levels from me tho. Went back to nexus to turn the souls back in but tbat triggered an event. I didn’t complete that event but rather went back to the nexus. I got the key from his son, so I got that sword piece. I’m assuming I merc the NPCs and go trigger the event now?

Magic is just not fun or engaging. I don't get any enjoyment out of shooting spalls/casting miracles.

By sy Go To PostMagic is just not fun or engaging. I don't get any enjoyment out of shooting spalls/casting miracles.both faith and fire are cool if you wanna be aggressive, but magic was only really outright awesome in Dark Souls 2 (Hex builds holy fuck) and to a lesser extent 3.
By Freewheelin Go To Postlolyeah that's the token depressed guy
btw the guy sitting in front of the first arch stone seems to have fucked off somewhere…

I normally try to clean up any npc quests left + turn all worlds into BWT to trigger their events
but hey you have other playthroughs for that, so at least you've got more things to look forward to.
Did 3-3 today now I’m doing 2-3 and I seem to keep dying omg this is the most annoying part so far. 😂
By Laboured Go To PostLegit LOLed.
By Freewheelin Go To Post5-2 is legit giving me hell lol
It’s very expansive and has lots of parts. It’s also dark and miserable heh. Black armor set and regen ring was enough to offset poison.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostDon’t think I’ll platinum this or even play it more than once tbh. Getting bored already lol.Faaaaaaaacts lol
The combat is so basic. I have negative interest in any of the world tendency and NPCs that I've missed and ignored because if it, I don't see how people do the parry and backstab for 100s of hours, I was over it the 3rd time I saw the animations 😂.
By the time I beat it I'll have gotten 30+ hours of entertainment anyways and it's pretty af so I'm cool with it 😎
By sy Go To PostFaaaaaaaacts lolyeah it’s clear this is a janky 2009 PS3 game, all the way down to the enemy behaviour. I actually like the world tendency events, the characters, the lore, just the playing it part is eh and most of the levels are filler and pretty uninteresting. FROM is truly a victim of their own success because games like DS3 and even the original Dark Souls are better in just about every aspect.

I think I’m most disappointed by the mediocre music, tbh. :/
It’s not as good as BB, but I’m enjoying this remake as much as DS3 even though I think bosses weren’t as good. Latria was a more memorable realm than any in DS3 IMO
And I think the RPG stuff Sy doesn’t like, are parts that I find set souls above regular action games.
The PS3 AI jank is noticeable lol

its a relic of an older time, I'd be worried if a 1:1 remake is better than their recent outings. I'm just happy they brought it back in any shape or form, it does a lot of things right (and like no one else)
it's probably one of their most repayable games thanks to World Tendency, friendly length and missable quests
and I think they were too scared to change the jank...I mean, people were complaining about the shape of a helmet pre-release so imagine lmao

By Elliott Go To PostIf you have pure black tendency in 3-2 to acquire it, I found the sodden ring really helps in 5-2.
By Fenderputty Go To PostIt’s very expansive and has lots of parts. It’s also dark and miserable heh. Black armor set and regen ring was enough to offset poison.how do I get these items? also pure black tendency.
Don’t remember where I found either ... I explore everything lol
Tho I think the black armor set is 5-1

Not sure about magic but for melee, be the knight and level endurance, Vit and Str. You’ll want enough dex to equip certain weapons like bows. The knight starts you off in tank armor, but i shed half that to get below 50% equipment burden. The knight had nice balanced starting stats tho. You can also toss some into magic / faith for some low level spells.
I tend to level vit and endurance a ton early on in souls games. You’ll need to level your weapon some before str benefits you a ton due to the way damage scales. The weapon level increases at the blacksmith will give you better damage outputs than levels into str early. Conversely, that extra hit you can give or take comes in handy
Also don’t stick to just world 1. A lot of people do 1-2 tower knight next, but I don’t see why you couldn’t do 2-1 etc before.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postgamefly just sent thisTemple Knight easily. Pump points in STR, VIT, and END.
whats a noob build to go for?
By Freewheelin Go To Posthow do I get these items? also pure black tendency.Easiest way to getting a world down to pure black is by dying there while in human form. So, if your World Tendency is neutral, you'd need to die in human form 3 times to bring it down to PB, whereas if it was PW you'd need to do it 6 times (you can check the status of your world tendencies in the menu).
Once 3-2 is PB, you'll find the sodden ring in the lower swamp area. You can acquire the gloom set by killing a certain npc who happens to be in 3-2 also, so two birds one stone.
By Fenderputty Go To PostThe NPC isn’t killed in 3-2 tho.Isn't it Yurt that drops the gloom set in Upper Latria?
Yurt drops his armour no matter where you kill him, either where you find him in 3-2 or in the Nexus. I don’t know what Fender is saying lol.

Ahh makes sense. He’ll go back the nexus and attack you there eventually
That’s Boletaria done too. 1-3 and 1-4 bosses were chumps. 1-3 boss was the biggest joke thus far lmao didn’t expect him to get staggered and fall so easily. I think I’m overleveled.
Now just worlds 4 and 5 and I’m done.

By Fenderputty Go To PostAhh makes sense. He’ll go back the nexus and attack you there eventuallydid he kill any of your npcs? He wiped out my Nexus back in 2009
the audacity. love it
If he did, I did t realize it was him. But I did notice a couple
Missing NPc’s and items left for me to scrounge lol

Still fucking struggling with 5-2, there seem to be a million different black phantoms including a troll that I can never get away from and kills me in one hit lol. Haven't managed to unlock the shortcut yet :(

There’s a Short cut? Lol
The black phantom in the first lake can be taken out with arrows from far since you can’t roll in water.
The first big troll is just prior to the second lake section. It’s kinda of a bitch, but they have a long reload after their first swing so get on that patch of land and dodge dodge dodge until he swipes then unload three hits tops and rinse repeat.
There’s a patch of 4 big trolls guarding a small island with an item. The item is the thing that makes you human again. Giant waste of time. I pulled from a distance using arrows and fighting one by one. Can’t count how many times I died before I got my strat down. Total waste.
By sy Go To PostI don't even know what a black phantom is
Blacked out NPC enemies with a red glow
