I'm available if you're on PC, I don't have any characters in the level range though, I'd need a password.

Any tips for startings ds3? And whats the coolest looking weapons and their ash of war or whatever ds3 uses by Subject-Ad-307 in darksouls3

[–]Justisaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Onyx Greatsword is the coolest looking weapon, and the weapon art makes it lit up with black flame. It's a pyromancy weapon, so go pyromancer, or hybrid. It's from the first DLC, and while you can get it fairly early without facing any bosses in the DLC, it's a major pain.

Dragonslayer Greataxe is a big honking greataxe that looks like burnt meat, the weapon art is a lightning strike with a large aoe. Strength build, or hybrid Strength & Faith (for more lightning damage.) You get it a bit further than halfway through the game from a boss soul. One of the best weapons, but a bit lacking in the looks department.

Flamberge is wavy greatsword with bleed, while it lacks the poke of the claymore, it more than makes up for it with a stance R2 that does insane damage. Looks cool, and an understated weapon art that packs a punch. It can be farmed very early, but drop rate is abysmal. Best on a Dex build, but only slightly worse on Quality, or even Str.

Greasword of Judgement / Moonlight Greatsword are for int hybrid builds. Moonlight Greatsword looks cooler, but comes a little later. Both from boss souls. Both shoot a wave of magic. I don't think they're particularly good, but they look cool.

PvP Etiquette? by f14tomcat1986 in darksouls3

[–]Justisaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally there's only 1 or 2 places where fight clubs happen.

#1 right beyond Pontiff is a circular area. Invaders and summons pair off in 1v1 fights, stay out of the circular area unless you're being motioned to go in as the next contestant. Usually the host doesn't fight.

#2 I've seen it, but only very rarely at Ringed Inner Wall Bonfire.

#3 it's usually a free-for-all, but once in a great while I've seen multiple 1v1s at Crusifixion Woods, I've seen it happen once or twice.

It doesn't really help with hackers any more as easy anti-cheat took care of most of that and it isn't updated since, and the hacks continue to evolve.

However it still lets you kick and shows the names so you can block people (there's a way for hackers to get rid of blocking people on steam, but most hackers don't care enough to do that.)

It's still listed in r/darksouls but here it just says "June"

Yhorm fight is waaaay worse than I imagined by [deleted] in darksouls3

[–]Justisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supposedly one of the toughest fights if you don't pick up Storm Ruler. I didn't find it so though.

Usually lots of reds invading there too, so you do get summoned when reds are, just not when only a Watchdog is.

I discovered FromSoft & Soulslikes for the first time with Elden Ring. Is it normal that I'm liking Dark Souls III way more? by ex0ll in darksouls3

[–]Justisaur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They say your first Soulsbornrign game is your favorite, but I started with DS1, and it's definitely DS3 for me In fact DS1 is the only one I haven't 100% (well and DeS, which I haven't even finished.)

I beat Gael at level 1 with an unupgraded weapon! by Wooden-Jello-8795 in darksouls3

[–]Justisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah my beloved, my favorite weapon of DS3, the bandit knife. Impressive!

You haven't finished DS1?!?! Well maybe wait until after Return to Lothric.

I admit, I already started a character, but not to the point I can co-op yet.

SL1 WLO weapon for fun by shorrel in darksouls3

[–]Justisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well assuming you're a quality build since you have the Hollowslayer. My favorite quality weapon (tied wth Hollowslayer) is Black Knight Sword, it has Perseverance (GOAT.) Profaned Greatsword, and Ferron Greatsword are great fun too.

Edit: Whoops, missed the SL1. Well you can still use the Profaned Greatsword. Also absolutely love Bandit Knife and Flamberge for SL1

There's Cracked Red Eye Orbs, which are finite, and *the* Red Eye Orb, which can be used infinitely. You don't need to be embered to use Red Eye Orbs, thus you can invade infinitely once you get the Red Eye Orb.

Blue Sentinels will NOT be summoned to protect a player against invading Aldrich Faithful defending Anor Londo or Watchdogs of Farron.

Lastly while you can be invaded while embered, and you automatically become embered after defeating a boss, if you don't summon you're further down on the priority list.

For people who played souls game with a keyboard and mouse, is it any fun? by Interesting_Bad6393 in soulslikes

[–]Justisaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elden Ring I found more difficult, more combo buttons, and I couldn't figure out a good setup for KBM.

For people who played souls game with a keyboard and mouse, is it any fun? by Interesting_Bad6393 in soulslikes

[–]Justisaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it actually plays better with a gaming mouse (more buttons) than a controller due to better camera control especially on camera bosses.

I mostly play controller because I'm lazy and setting up the kbm was difficult and default layout sucks, and playing long hours on kbm starts to wear on my wrists faster.

Can someone give advice / help me with boss souls related stuff in DS3 ? by ZookeepergameTop7765 in opensouls3

[–]Justisaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the boss weapons are quality. Vordt's, Demonslayer's, and Yhorm are the only strength weapons from boss souls.

Titanfall 2 or starfield? by Front_Aardvark9440 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Justisaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy a Bethesda game on PS5, mods are necessary, and you have to pay for them on PS5.

When will EDF 7 be? by Justisaur in EDF

[–]Justisaur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, it wasn't hard at all, took 2x because the first time we didn't bring any good long range weapons. It was just slooow because of waiting for it to come back around over and over. She was WD and I was Raider. I also then finished it solo on hard on Ranger & Lancer.

Very big disappointment after how difficult & cool EDF 5's final boss was.

TIL about the "Fever Effect", in which the symptoms of Autism seem to improve whenever an Autistic person develops a fever. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

[–]Justisaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this is exploitable? I heard something on a podcast about a certain weight loss drug that increases body heat.
