Yhorm now just takes 2% HP damage when hit by the Storm King WA.

What? How are you suppose to kill him then? Hit him 50 times with the weapon art?

People spend years complaining Yhorm is shitty boss because of weapon, they fix it and now we get people complaining they can't kill him with that weapon easily.

I never used that weapon to kill Yhorm in any of my playtroughts. It is not great boss battle though, too simple compared to rest.

Well I'm guessing since this is some sort of mod they've introduced better ways to deal damage so I was curious. I wasn't complaining either. I can't recall how much damage you did in the base game but it would have taken forever to kill him with a long sword IIRC.

 

[Perkel]

He is tough boi but you can kill him without problem.

So apparently the early game WAS tuned for the new OP starting classes, so going with some of the vanilla ones means a bad day for you.

Luckily I found the Balder Sword by the changeling on the High Wall and its strong attack destroys everything. Going with my most favourite build in Souls games - DEX/FTH.

Still not found any miracles tho (in the Settlement rn) so no idea how powerful magic is in Cinders. Other than that the mod is fantastic. It can't change the mediocre levels but the new item and mob placement is a lot of fun. It's a great fresh DS3 experience so far. Loving it.

Hi the ashen ones,

I can't fing Eygon's sign of summon in the room with the pillars just before the Crystal Sage fight.

Irina is free and resting in the Firelink Shrine, didn't buy anything from her, talked to Eygon after freeing her in the Undead Settlement and he left somewhere, so the sign should appear, I believe. Is it a bug or I did forget something?

pictured: no this shiny thing

Upd: OK I'm stupid you need to eat Ember to see the sign

 

[birb]

I just got invaded by some dude with one of those cancer pugilist backstap builds. Still dealing with the trauma

 

[Lyric Suite]

See, those people have no honor. This is how you do it:

Well, it fits well the narrative of the series which is about the end of the world because Fire Of The Spirit is fading and everyone turning into the greedy undead.

lmao mans got slabs for days

aw now youre making me wanna play ringed city again

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

So I playing DS3 again, trying to get those damned rings, and I'm rediscovering how annoying PVP is.
It feels like everyone deals more damage than me when I deal nothing, and they can just dodge through everything when I always get caught out.
Also, the gank squads in Farron Swamp or whatever is really annoying when you want sword grass. It seems that From didn't learn that no one liked farming for the Cat covenant in Dark Souls 1 because of the fucking gank squads.

What exactly am I doing wrong? Do you need a really specific build to the point that only a few weapons, stats and armor sets are worth it or something?

Also, poise in Dark Souls 3 is useless, holy shit. I don't care that it works when you use weapon arts or gives hyperarmor or some shit, getting stun locked by some fucking jobber with a knife is bullshit.

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

Play offline.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I rarely get invaded, its just that getting swordgrass and palet ongues is an absolute chore because for whatever reason From decided to give them something like a 0.5% drop rate. Even with 385 item discovery farming them is a bitch.
They clearly want you to get them through invasions, but I don't understand how to PVP because everyone seems to kill me in like 4 attacks whereas I deal next to nothing.

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

If you've ever farmed something in an mmo, getting the covenant items in DS3 is a breeze. One, maybe two evenings (for all of them, all covenants).

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

You must be really lucky. I've been farming grass for hours I think I only got like, 5?
Funnily enough, I actually get more pale tongues than grass with 385 discovery, so that's fine.

 

[Kitchen Utensil]

Well, it's fucking boring of course, and it takes a while, but really, compared to a serious grind in an MMO, it's nothing. I's been a year or so for me though, so I don't even remember what exactly it was I had to kill. There were Ghrus and Silver Knights iirc, anything else? Darkwraiths?

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Yeah, Dark Wraiths give tongues, ghrus give grass, and Silver Knights give dregs or whatever Faithful wants.

git gud

make a low level pvp build. level up vig until soft cap 27. then level up STR or DEX until 30. use a weapon with good scaling. use the best armor you can find under 70% equip load. use firebombs to finish enemies.

if you have balls you go kill champion gundyr and you get the best ring

if you go above level 70 then you can think about quality builds

Well, yeah. It's easily doable farming those offline, that's what I did since I find Souls' PVP retarded. It's bad, but I remember it being not as bad as I had originally thought (or I would've given up, my grinding days are over).

I agree w.r.t. DS3 -- I could never figure out how poise and the mystical 'hyperarmour' actually worked there and the PvP was infuriating. But I don't understand why you'd want to 'farm' for the Cat covenant in DS1 -- you just need 3 kills to reach the only sensible goal (i.e. the Ring of Fog). What am I missing?

You're playing DS3.

Yeah, you just need 3 kills, but if you started playing DS1 in 2016 or so like I did getting those 3 kills is a pain due to the small player base and everyone forming gank squads.
Compared to later covenants though it is a lot easier.

Anyway, solo'd Champion Gundyr on NG+
I liked the "first phase" it had a nice rhythm to it, but when he goes red eyed it becomes a little bullshit due to the constant attack spam and little to no telegraphed attacks. Like that fucking elbow charge that happens in a blink of an eye and can apparently hit you from any distance.
Having a Greatshield helps a lot.

Is heavy armor + shield with no rolling even possible in Dark Souls 3? It feels like you need to roll to survive a lot of encounters.

I recently replayed Dark Souls 3 too and I could max out all covenants without farming. My best recommendation is that you should keep your level and upgrade always in mind and be patient as an invader. For Watchdogs I wouldn't recommend to go beyond level 25 and a +2 weapon, for Aldrich level 60 and +6 weapon. Do the Blue Sentinels/Blades of the Darkmoon between those levels. Spears of the Church at least level 85 and +10 weapon. For Rosaria and Mound-Maker I prefered to invade in the Crucifixion Woods, Irithyll and the Ringed City. Crucifixion Woods and Irithyll because of the Watchdogs and Aldrich players you can team up and Ringed City beauce of the high level enemies. You still will meet gank squads and meta players, but should also have a lot of normal and fair fights.
