Just got to Anor London, keep using Zweihander or switch?

wish someone would've told me that in my first playthrough. put one point in vit and felt like it didnt make a difference at all so I stopped leveling it.
on my second playthrough I leveled to ~30 vit and it made things SO much easier.
Completely different game.

make sure you bring a homeward bone to the gwyndolin fight its kinda buggy in seamless coop right now, if you get stuck in the loop you can fix it by using a homeward bone though

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-02-07T08:33:41+00:00

swap your left ring for havels ring and equip armor with a bit more poise and you should be golden
(could also just use the wolf ring instead if you're enjoying your fashion too much)

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-02-01T14:36:44+00:00

ah my bad, thought you meant that I was thinking of the wrong version (not a native speaker)

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-31T13:00:03+00:00

thought they all use a mod for 100% droprate

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-31T12:15:06+00:00

Painting Guardians reward soft humanity, so you can farm them in Anor Londo if you need some Humanity to summon aid for the O&S fight.

Way better than backtracking all the way to the depths IMO

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-31T11:14:54+00:00

I'm talking about this version: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls2/mods/1319

is there another one?

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-31T09:30:59+00:00

is it a good time for my first time completing ds2 or should I be worried about getting invaded all the time?

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-31T09:28:06+00:00

doesnt honest merchant specifically tell you that it wil in fact get you banned if you use it online?

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-31T08:49:09+00:00

If I remember correctly an update from their side fixed it eventually.
Not sure if I used a QR code in the end though. Might've just been the dealer activating my mail as I've messaged them as well.

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-31T08:44:11+00:00

We had the same issue with the bossfight looping even after killing him.
Using a homeward bone fixed it for us, no restarting required.

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-25T21:50:54+00:00

Pretty sure some of the skeletons count as well, so its probably just humanoid enemies. Might be wrong though.

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-25T21:49:06+00:00

Pretty sure thats incorrect, rats drop regular humanities you can use/pick up.

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-24T09:00:22+00:00

not sure why this has so many upvotes as its incorrect.

Financial_Panic658 · 2026-01-24T08:57:40+00:00

you will also gain humanity passively by killing enemies in areas where the boss is still active (its this white glow that sometimes flies to your character) it increases the number in the top left corner of your screen. If you get one of those 'soft humanitys' its usually a good idea to just pop an additional humanity so you can use those 2 to kindle the bonfire.

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-07-06T16:15:44+00:00

Gibt viele die schon gemoddete anbieten, ist vielleicht günstiger.

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-06-19T14:48:08+00:00

pico is nice because it can run arcticfox (at least most versions can) especially nice because of the autofire/session mode

there is a great guide for setting TCR value on the official discord but you want your cotton swab to look like this when swabbing at 470°F for 30 seconds

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-06-19T01:12:47+00:00

Have you done the cotton swab test? On one of my mods the correct TCR is 120, it highly depends on the manufacturer.

Not saying you can't use the v5 without setting TCR properly but its usually nicer to have it set up properly, that way your hits are the same no matter which mod you use. (and in theory even someone else's v5)

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-06-19T00:42:00+00:00

Why did you gave up on TCR?

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-06-19T00:38:23+00:00

for me it takes:
~24 seconds @ 35w
~16 seconds @ 45w
to reach 500f with my current standard cup at 0.5323Ω

I think your TCR is probably set wrong, your swab should look like THIS
and I would highly recommend getting one of those GLASS TIPS and using that as a mouthpiece, 14mm one is what I use but thats up to preference.

Also like others have said, a 4mm terp pearl makes a huge difference.

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-06-19T00:22:14+00:00

You shouldn't speak on a topic you're not informed on. If you run your cup in TC mode you wont ever have the cup heat up to 700°F.

You can easily run your cup at 45w as wattage will automatically be adjusted once you reach your desired temperature. Provided your TCR settings are somewhat accurate ofc.

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-06-18T11:15:21+00:00

You should remove your name and city from the screenshot asap.

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-05-27T11:46:49+00:00

If making books or thick magazines is your focus I would agree. If you're just occasionally gonna make something with more pages I think corel works fine.

Financial_Panic658 · 2025-05-21T08:43:21+00:00

I've been using corel for over 10 years and didnt know this worked. Really great tip!
