just touched some "Dragon Remnants" and got invaded by a dragon guy who killed me. Assume it's a covenant thing. Anyone else seen that before?
― Kim Wrong-un (Neil S), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 15:05 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, that's the summon sign for Dragon Covenant dudes. I don't think I've ever actually seen one.

okay, this fucking great hollow
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 14 February 2014 22:35 (ten years ago) link
don't bother with The Great Hollow until you have the Lordvessel.
― circa1916, Friday, 14 February 2014 22:45 (ten years ago) link
well what the hell else can i do? Only avenue i see now is this spider queen on the hill.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 14 February 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link
she should be next on your list.

CURSED FUCK FUCK FUCK this is the worst
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 14 February 2014 23:41 (ten years ago) link
I messed around in the hollow but didn't go past the basilisks at the bottom, just got a bunch of swag swag. The cloranthy ring has been indispensable.
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 14 February 2014 23:42 (ten years ago) link
Heh didn't mean to write swag twice but it works.
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 14 February 2014 23:43 (ten years ago) link
now i'm trapped here and can't get out one way or the other with half hp. what the fuck
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 14 February 2014 23:44 (ten years ago) link
TOLD YOU.
first play through i went to The Great Hollow early on, got cursed, made it to the fire all the way at the bottom, realized it was next to impossible for me to kill the boss down there in that state, found out it's a dead end, then had to run all the way back up through that mess. don't fuck with it until you have the Lordvessel to warp yourself out. and a purging stone or two.
― circa1916, Friday, 14 February 2014 23:55 (ten years ago) link
well, like Jordan said, it might be worth grabbing some loot in the upper areas, but don't push it.
― circa1916, Friday, 14 February 2014 23:59 (ten years ago) link
ugh that's exactly what happened to me - made it to bottom of the Hollow cursed, found it was a dead end and it took forever to get back up again. Never again oh wait it's almost March ^_^
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Saturday, 15 February 2014 00:11 (ten years ago) link
well, i escaped but it took a fuckin' hour. now i gotta raise 5k souls to go get that curse break as i still can't quite get to dude on the rooftop at half health.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 15 February 2014 02:13 (ten years ago) link
i didn't find the bottom bonfire so it was a question of climbing back up outta blighttown and figuring out how to evade the three club wielding shit monsters up top
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 15 February 2014 02:14 (ten years ago) link
Ruuun. I invaded Lautrec and killed him with my dying swing. I'll take it but that's my worst habit in this game, going for broke when I think someone's almost dead and leaving myself open.
― festival culture (Jordan), Saturday, 15 February 2014 02:30 (ten years ago) link
me too. that's how i lost to the spider queen. One hit away!Now that i got the fire keeper's soul, the bonfire in firelink shrine is gone. Fuckin'... ahma kill that shithead knight.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 15 February 2014 03:12 (ten years ago) link
you can use the firekeeper's soul on your flasks a couple other places (like the spider queen's sister if you find her nearby).
ornstein & smough down, but i only did by venturing into co-op for the first time (and then mostly staying out of the way). now i'm past the hydra and getting killed by giant kitty cats.
― festival culture (Jordan), Saturday, 15 February 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link
blog update: i had an easier time with sif than any boss so far, go figure. now i'm in ghostland...i made a cursed sword, which i don't have near the stats to wield but it seems to work just fine nonetheless (as far as killing the ghosts in one hit goes).
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 17 February 2014 02:06 (ten years ago) link
i beat the spider queen (with a summoned friend) and am now trying to determine if I should go back to that newly opened gate or instead go through the sewer system to the other half of blighttown. i think i may have to step away from this for a few weeks...
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Monday, 17 February 2014 05:32 (ten years ago) link
probably not worth sticking around in Blighttown, I'd get above ground and give Sen's Fortress a go...

I will when i have the time. quick straw poll: new thread for dark souls 2? anyone want to start it?
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Monday, 17 February 2014 19:50 (ten years ago) link
i vote new thread
― festival culture (Jordan), Monday, 17 February 2014 19:53 (ten years ago) link
seems superfluous, this one has less than 500 posts. but it is not 2003 and i am not ned so please start as many threads as you wish.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 17 February 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link
gonna go out on a limb and say this is going to get heavy traffic when the sequel drops so a new thread is sensible.
― PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Monday, 17 February 2014 19:57 (ten years ago) link
new thread would be a good idea imo.

four kings :(
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 16:04 (ten years ago) link
load up on poise (havel's armor does the trick) and tank 'em. their sword swipes do less damage the closer you are. if you've messed with Pyromancy, Power Within helps. this is a boss where summoning generally makes it more difficult, so don't bother.
i somehow beat these guys no sweat on first attempt. gave me hell on NG+ tho.
― circa1916, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 16:48 (ten years ago) link
Havel's Armour plus Havel's Ring is an excellent combo generally IMO
― Kim Wrong-un (Neil S), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 16:49 (ten years ago) link
thanks, i'll give it a shot, though i'd have to lose my cloranthy ring. also not sure if i should use one of my lightning/fire/divine weapons that are all much weaker than my main black knight sword, it's hard to experiment when just getting to the boss is such a pain (i think i have my route down now though).
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 16:53 (ten years ago) link
make sure you're two handing your weapon too.
― circa1916, Tuesday, 18 February 2014 17:19 (ten years ago) link
i like putting on low-weight armor so can fast-roll dodge + crest shield then get up close and whack them
― hang son doong (am0n), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 17:57 (ten years ago) link
^my initial strategy
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 18:00 (ten years ago) link
you can take their hits up close but gotta watch out for the grab and the aoe blast
― hang son doong (am0n), Tuesday, 18 February 2014 18:06 (ten years ago) link
oh yeah, Green Blossom is a big help here too. probably the time to use those if you have 'em.

four kings went down on the first take last night, havel's armor + ring did the trick, thanks guyz. in the late game it seems like the having the right gear combination is way more important than before (which makes sense, because now i've acquired all this random shit that i would otherwise not have reason to use).
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 14:25 (ten years ago) link
Havel's Armour is p much the best in the game, only problem is it can't get upgraded and is mad heavy. His greatshield requires strength of 50 to wield!
― Kim Wrong-un (Neil S), Wednesday, 19 February 2014 14:34 (ten years ago) link
It does have the best weight to poise ratio in the game, I believe. Like some of the either BIG armors though (stone, smough, black iron, giant's, etc.), it also has a stamina regen penalty.
― circa1916, Wednesday, 19 February 2014 14:44 (ten years ago) link
upgraded giants armor is the best overall
