The first weapon I used for the game was Lightning Spear from the Mimick in the fortress, and I stuck with it most of the time, but switched to elemental one handed sword for specific encounters.

They explain some common backstab methods and a few ways to prevent them.

Another important thing to learn is to unlock and turn manually at times. Being locked on makes you turn slowly, but if you are on manual you can spin on a dime and face a backstab head on.

I’ve played Dark Souls many times now. I’m very interested in its world. But there are several holes in the lore/universe that bother me to no end.

1) One of the things I like about Dark Souls is the effect of going hollow is very meta. When you, as a player, get too frustrated with the game to go on and quit, that’s going hollow. You can’t die, you can only keep trying and trying until you give up and “go hollow.” However, the biggest plot hole in the game is when you kill other players or when other players die, they die forever. In any other game in the world, this would make perfect sense. But in Dark Souls it goes against the whole premise of the story. You can’t say that it’s because you’re the Chosen Undead, because anybody can bet the Chosen Undead. The Chosen Undead is whoever makes it through the pilgrimage, it could be anybody. The pilgrimage is just something to harden an undead in order to make them strong enough to sacrifice to link the bonfires. And the game makes a point of saying that you and every other undead are immortal. It’s completely contradictory!

2) The Abyss is inconsistent. So, the first (and only before the DLC/Prepare to Die Edition) interaction with the Abyss is when you enter it fight the Four Kings which, of course, you need the Covenant of Artorias to traverse. So the Abyss is deadly even touch without the Covenant of Artorias. Once you slay the Four Kings, you can touch the abyss without trouble. This could be written off for several reasons, could be the primordial serpent is protecting you, or that the bonfire is keeping it at bay, etc. (But really, the it would be frustrating if every time you wanted to talk to the primordial serpent you had to put on the Covenant of Artorias.) So, the second interaction we have with the Abyss is Artorias. Artorias has been tainted and deformed by the Abyss. This is strange in itself, because when you entered the Abyss without the Covenant of Artorias, you just instantly died. But this could be written off as Artorias is just a badass, so no inconsistency yet. But why is Artorias even tainted? He has the Covenant of Artorias, so like you, he should be just fine. Again, this can be written off for a few reasons. Maybe Manus took off the Covenant of Artorias when Artorias was weak or maybe Manus’s power was too much for the Covenant of Artorias. So the Abyss isn’t quite inconsistent yet. However, on yourPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Firstly, not all NPCs are undead. Some are normal people and die when killed. A few, such as Solaire, are undead, and should respawn at their most recent bonfire. Then they could go anywhere they wanted to. Why would they cross paths with the player again after being beaten? I think that lore-wise, killing an NPC makes them avoid the player.


 No.1037

>>1036

Damn, you wrong. Every human player you see is undead.


 No.1038

First, how about some proper spacing so your wall of text is more digestible. But concerning your issue, the world isn't one world. Solaire tells us in our first encounter with him that our different worlds phase in and out, and last only a short while. It would make sense, then, that a phantom would phase out of your world and return back to his proper world upon defeat.

As for there being more than one chosen undead, well, I like to think that eventually your soul begins to fade, and a new chosen undead must one day usurp you. In this unending cycle, you even replace yourself in NG+. Is the Gwyn we face even the same Gwyn of the old legends? Of course this is all speculation, but in my head it makes sense.

And are they really immortal? When you die you lose a bit of your humanity and your souls. Eventually wouldn't this drive everyone to becoming hollow and thus mortal?

Second, Manus lures you in to Oolacile by taking Dusk as bait, otherwise why didn't he just kill her? Why would he be interested in her at all?

He wants your soul because it's so powerful. The arena where you fight him is very much an arena keeping the abyss at bay. Notice there are no solid walls, more like a magical barrier. We can assume he doesn't want you lost in the abyss.

Third, why can't we assume you're badass enough to kill a dragon? You are the chosen undead after all.


 No.1039

>>1037

Can you prove this? Yes, many are undead and they were forced into going to lordran, but there are others who went here on their own will, and are not necessarily undead. For example, Sieglinde. She wants to find her father. In her dialogue, she states that he is undead, but no dialogue from either of them say whether or not she is undead. She later also says that she will return to Catarina, a land of living people, if I'm not mistaken.


 No.1042

>>1038

Manus did not lure you into oolacile. He eventually grabs you in order to recover his lost pendant but he is not interested in you. He took dusk for shits and giggles but that is where she belonged anyway.

Things i don't want to see in dark souls 3

Solaire pandering - le parise the sun XDDDD

sooo hardcore pandering - If they make design choices focused on making the game harder rather than interesting/unique it will be a step in the wrong direction. dark souls 2 having an achievement for dieing was stupid.

preorder and dlc out the ass - this is going to happen its just an industry standard at this point.

shitty hitbox detection - this might be the worst thing about dark souls 2

no fast roll - I just want to fast roll.

Pretty excited

Too bad we'll have to wait for the definitive edition to come out in 2017.

So, /DaS/, I come asking your infinite wisdom of all things Souls, how can I tell if someone is hacking/exploiting, or if it's just really bad online connection?

Last night I was fucking around in Ivory King (pic related) and was invaded on my way to the tower on the other side of the broken bridge with one of the Loyce Knights. He resins his King's Ultra Greatsword, we do our bows, and then the dance begins. About 15 seconds into the fight, I hear the sound of a hit registering, but his bar is perfect. A few seconds later I hear the hit and see the blood splatter, but still no damage. This happens about 5 more times before I see his health drop some, but then I do no damage for a few more hits. Eventually he kills me, though he should've been dead a few hits back. Was he a cheat that just toggled his invulnerability to not seem too obvious, or was the connection just shitty?
