From Software Dark Souls 3

[Max Damage]

Yeah, I figured that out, thing is, the clusters are so spread out, he ends up summoning many clones anyway. Really wish you could replay bosses after you defeat them outside of co-op, could cut or remove amount of souls they drop. Anyway, beat Deacons of the Deep before going to bed, I like DS3 so far, just wish you didn't have to tp back to Shrine every time you want to level up. You're no longer Chad Chosen Undead, go talk to m'lady, do they think this will help fix dropping birthrates in Japan?

 

[Silva]

Just beat Crystal Sage, got to say, I really hate these kind of boss fights where you fight camera + luck on top. You can go from full health to dead in a blink of eye, holy crap.

You can roll through the crystals that spawn to decrease the number of clones he creates.

WTF never heard of this. What I DO know is the true copy is the one who slings purple spells instead of blue.

I wonder if Crystal Sages and Deacons of the Deep get actually interesting in NG+ instead of the pushovers they are.

Aren't DS1 and ER the only ones where you don't have to travel back to your waifu?

Oh, and Sekiro as well, though I don't really consider it a Soulsborne game.

WHAT

Yeah, you can also attack them and certain spells should work as well, but rolling is faster and you have to be fast, smart, lucky and have a lot of stamina to take out at least three bundles of the crystals. Never tried sniping the crystals with ranged weapons or spells though.

 

[Max Damage]

Just running through them also works.

Having fought Abyss Watchers and Pontiff, I think this is my favorite Dark Souls game now, these fucking fights and soundtracks

Always keep in mind there are people who say DS3 is utter and total shit BECAUSE OF Pontiff Sulyvahn.

his fight is the moment when Fromsoft realized it would be a good idea to use animation delay to catch people off-guard and prevent them from dodging on reflexes. Absolute decline.

 

[Silva]

Abyss Watchers music is awesome indeed.

If you need help with Eldritch the God eater, my darkmoon blade can be yours for the modicum price of helping me out with Midir later on.


P.S: oh, and if grandiose music and fights are your thing, I suspect you would love Bloodborne.

 

[Silva]

I can confirm Darkmoon miracle is great online. I'm cutting shit like butter with my twin sellswords. I suspect most players armors lack magic resistance. For PvE though it's just okay.

Found it interesting that when you go up the covenant ladder, the Yorshka girl spills out the whole thing with Pope Sullivahn betraying the order and Gwindolin and vanishing with him. I wonder if the other covenants reveal bits of lore like that. If so, the Aldritch Faithful in particular should interesting for revealing the other side of the coin.

 

[mediocrepoet]

Spoiler

The Aldritch Faithful are run by a morbidly obese corpse American in a diabetic coma who doesn't say anything at all and the items don't say much of anything either.

I had forgotten how awesome Nameless King entrance was, with the huge storm covering the whole place up with rain and whatnot.

Is Gwyn Jr supposedly the storm god (same way his father is the sun and his little brother the moon)? Or the storm is actually his drake?

 

[Silverfish]

Whichever makes the least sense.

The Nameless King was a war god before being cast out by his father Gwyn.

Also the sleeping princes at the end of the Ringed City DLC was originally supposed to be Gwyn's wife, not his daughter, which would clean up that thread.

 

[Wunderbar]

Faraam was the God of War. That badass dude from the Dark Souls 2 box art.

Miyazaki pulled Nameless king out of his ass to specifically retcon Faraam out of existence, he felt threatened by Faraam's high levels of T.

Lord Gwyn's firstborn, who inherited the sunlight, once wore this ancient ring. Boosts the strength of miracles.

Lord Gwyn's firstborn was a god of war, but his foolishness led to a loss of the annals, and rescinding of his deific status. Today, even his name is not known.

But yeah, who wouldn't feel threatened by Faraam's high levels of T? That fucking helmet, man. And that fur coat. Fuck.

that's Solaire.

Nameless King doesn't exist!!1

 

[NJClaw]

Blink twice if this "Faraam" is here in the room with us.

 

[Silva]

So Max Damage , finished the game yet? Have you met Sister Frida?

 

[Max Damage]

Silva I am taking a break from DS3 while there's Bloodhunt week in Dead by Daylight. Reached the boss after Dancer.

 

[Silva]

How did you like my girl Dancer?

I find her awesome. Her slow and deliberate moves really gives me some waltz vibes. And the subdued music fits nicely.

 

[Max Damage]

She's a fun and stylish fight, I just wish camera zoomed out and angled for bosses like her. The only way to fully see most of her animations is to run far away, but you want to stay close if you're not doing magic, and columns in the room also add jankiness to how camera just freaks out if you're caught close to a wall.

I replayed this game recently, and it's easily the worst From game. Something that stood out to me, that I missed completely on my first playthrough. There is an NPC in the ringed city DLC which is searching for his memories. After you finish his quest, it is revealed... the NPC is Patches! But Patches is already in the base game, doing his own thing? I was so confused when it happened. The whole story/lore of the game feels like some elaborate trolling by Miyazaki and co.

Ringed City happens in the future of base game.

 

[Silverfish]

Even in the base game, Patches comes off as lazy compared to how DS2 mixed things up with Pate.
