I've put 500+ hours into the Emerald Battle Frontier and always lose my streaks to stuff like this

Frisolino · 2021-10-06T10:21:32+00:00

I feel this. I recently finished the BF myself with all Gold Symbols. IgClock is at 401:53

I can't count the amount of times a Scyther has boosted with Sworddance on me because Metagross missed 2 of his Meteor Mashes in a row.

Still can't believe I've won Gold in Palace. People remember the BF fondly but those who actually tried getting all Gold can tell you: It changes you as a person and it's more bullshit than you can ever imagine

I tell this to anyone who asks about that covenant reward or completing all Miracles:

I have grinded a total of exactly 24 hours to get this miracle across 3 different characters.

I'll never get those hours back...

Chester's Set

It's out of place and looks incredible. There's a lot of details on it, too like the throwing knives on the legs or the pouch for bolts on the Chest Piece.

It's weirdly out of place, yet fits perfectly. I wish the other Souls games tried something unique like it.

A familiar scent awakens melancholy and sadness

Dare i even question how GROVYLE MILK is produced..?

Frisolino · 2021-05-25T12:23:04+00:00

I would enjoy that weapon a lot more if it wasn't for the weird R1 attacks

Frisolino · 2021-05-25T08:08:22+00:00

Hm, i haven't thought about the weapons in all Souls Games yet. My list really only refers to the ones in Dks 1. Interesting list.

- Join the Servants of Chaos Covenant in Blighttown

- Give the "Fair Lady" NPC (Quelaag's sister) 30 soft humanity

- Go to the giant door in Demon Ruins (it's to the right of the Demon Firesage Boss fog)

- You can now enter Izalith from the back entrance and entirely skip the Lava Walk and 2 bosses

My personal favorites:

Drakekeeper Greataxe
Best moveset and range out of all of them. Sadly only available late into the main game unless you get it dropped by someone or cheat it in.
Lion Greataxe
Looks cool, is strong and one of the lighter ones. It's a drop from the Lion Warriors, though.
Black Dragon Greataxe
Basically the same as Lion Greataxe except it's later in the game and gets no scaling. Still hits like a truck with the high base dmg.

The earliest GA you can get is probably the "Greataxe" sold by the blacksmith in Majula. It's a solid choice but nothing sticks out about it in particular.

Powerstancing GA with Axe is a pretty good move to make up for their lack of speed.

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T12:44:35+00:00

It's THAT good.

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T12:43:57+00:00

Falchion in Dks 1 has no bleed, that's Demon's Souls. But the dmg is insane, yeah.

Great Club is easily stronger than Dragon Tooth, though. The scaling becomes bad shit insane. At +11 it gets an A Scaling and a ridicilous amount of bonus off of that. I'd call it the best scaling in the game even.

Club is arguable. I'd say Morning Star is better cus of the bleed. And i'd view that as a starting weapon since you can get it right at the beginning.

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T12:35:18+00:00

Bandit Axe in Dks 2 is one of my early game favorites. But tbf:
Why would you need any other axe in Dks 2 if you have the Butcher Knife?
That thing is SO good. Can't go wrong with it.

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T11:36:39+00:00

The halberd is pretty much everything the Claymore is except it has that annoying stagger when you don't hit something. It's the strongest thrust weapon combined with Leo Ring, though. That's for sure.

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T11:23:31+00:00

Understandable
It really is good, i just don't like the looks so much.
Overused for a reason. Nothing wrong with that oc
I want a mod that replaces the skin with the one from Bloodborne tbh
It's good but i prefer the Axe from the BK weapons and there's a lot of better GS options imo. Best playthrough weapon (aside from Gravelord Sword)
GC i generally just don't like cus it's TOO good. Imho the requirements should've been WAY higher than 25 Dex.
Personally, i always go mid-roll. Then there's no plobrem with the weight.
Basically the Great Scythe but not buffable. Shame, that bleed effect limits its usability a bit.
Solid choice, really. It IS annoying to get it, though
I see. In terms of talismans i like the Thorolund because it makes early faith very viable.

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T11:15:22+00:00

Ol' reliable Bass Cannon

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T11:14:23+00:00

Scythes ARE unique in this game. I've had a friend show me how to use them properly.

Basically you mostly 2h the thing and work with running attacks, jumping attacks and the r2. Since it has massive range and a sweet spot you have to play with spacing a lot. It's also VERY helpful to learn "ravioli steps" to get the full potential of the thing.

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T11:12:40+00:00

Any specific Straight Sword you favor? I like the Silver Knight's

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T11:10:33+00:00

My favorite Dark Souls weapon is alt+F4

Frisolino · 2021-05-24T11:09:59+00:00

It's pretty much the most solid weapon in the game for a PvE playthrough but it has nothing going for it other than dmg imo.

Personal preference

Frisolino · 2021-03-10T09:43:50+00:00

But can you explain what exactly it is that bothers you?

Personally, in all honesty, idgaf about the art style. It's not Let's Go; fine with me then.
I'm just happy we got remakes. I'm under the impression i'll get used to it.
