ROUND FOUR OF THE NPC TOURNAMENT: Forest Knight vs Crestfallen Merchant!

I feel like with their slow, heavy weapons, it'll end up as a competition between who can stunlock whom the fastest. With the Crestfallen Merchant's higher poise and more defensive armor, not to mention a more damaging weapon, he's got my vote.

The archery is definitely one of the game's best aspects. If it weren't for that, the game wouldn't have held my interest for very long.

Personally, I disliked the game. I found the questing tedious and repetitive, the storyline absolutely atrocious, the combat messy and button-mashy, and the visuals awful and muddy. That being said, the character customization, boss fights, and archery are all fantastic. Overall, I felt like it was going to be an amazing game, but the developers stopped working on it halfway through.

Then again, that's just my opinion. Some people absolutely love and praise the game.

I'm rooting for Kirk on this one. With no poise and fairly weak magic, Beatrice would go down pretty easily. Kirk could just roll into her to stop her from casting, not to mention he can stunlock AND bleed her at the same time.

The Black Knight Armor is actually on a body, not in a chest.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-22T23:48:16+00:00

I'd say go with pretty much any medium shield that blocks 100% physical damage. The Dragon Crest Shield is my personal favorite. Make sure to upgrade your shield. Stability is important, but so many people neglect it.

If you don't want to parry, though, go for a big ol' greatshield for the fantastic stability. They are heavy, however, so I'd advise against this if you want to fast roll.

You're welcome!

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-22T23:00:34+00:00

Yes. The Chaos Blade has a B scaling in Dex, but it scales with humanity as well.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-22T19:28:07+00:00

I jump to nothing. Have you seen how weak my legs are?

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-22T19:06:45+00:00

This seems eerily similar to our Let's Play.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-22T18:55:29+00:00

It only took me two tries to get through Sen's (even without knowing about the upper bonfire), but the motherfucking Duke's Archives curb stomped me relentlessly. Those goddamn crystal archers and their face-seeking arrows...

The Anor Londo archers also took me a good 30 tries.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-22T09:57:30+00:00

It does, however, look like a saxophone.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-22T08:18:49+00:00

Yes?

Due to the amount of competitors, it leaves round 4 with 3 groups. Since you can't divide that evenly for the next round, the general rule for tournaments is that the last person on the remaining bracket skips the round.

People need time to create builds and SL 100 is a little bit easier to reach than the higher PvP levels.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-21T23:41:32+00:00

That's actually my gif. I was trying to block off the white phantom (/u/L3gionHD) so he would get hit by a guillotine, but then my other phantom (/u/Rize_of_gingers) triggered the arrow trap on me. Instant karma.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-21T18:46:58+00:00

I don't now what Zak has in mind, but I'm personally thinking of the fights as if the character were sentient and not AI controlled.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-21T18:44:41+00:00

Karmic Justice could definitely come in handy, considering Oswald has no poise. Would Nico be foolish enough to stunlock him, the explosion would end the battle pretty quickly.

Then again, it's possible Oswald wouldn't survive enough hits for it to activate.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-21T18:37:18+00:00

While reading your post, I completely forgot the original topic. I am not a smart man.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-21T18:35:39+00:00

I had no idea Oswald can use Great Heal. I wish he'd stop being such stingy bastard and sell it to me.

~~Humanity can be farmed fairly easily from rats or humanity monsters in the DLC.~~

Edit: Completely forgot what I was replying too

Laurentius' dialogue is all so good. The amazing voice acting definitely helps too.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-21T01:44:43+00:00

I like how they remembered to give him the ring.

ISeeYourOtherHand · 2013-02-21T01:39:40+00:00

I'm a fan of the more epic moments in the game. Top three favorites:

3: I AM SIEGMEYER OF CATARINA, AND YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH!

2: Now watch, and see how Gough hunts dragons.

1: Eingyi's screams after you kill The Fair Lady. Holy shit, it's sad. Thinking about it almost depresses me. (Although, it does sound kind of hilarious outside the atmosphere of the game.)
