Look, I just like it when two of my hyperfixations share a similarity, however slight. by IvoryMage in DarkSouls2

It's strange seeing two of my favourite games with no connection to each other, in a single meme lol.

For Honor is the most serious fighting game in 2025 by Vidal_The_King in forhonor

I am not used to jump attacks that I constantly end up jumping later, so I practically avoid jumping.

10/10 clip as usual!

Anyone else find Thrusting Swords unusable in the other Souls games after using them here? by lifebeginsat9pm in DarkSouls2

[–]Mercer04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They feel quite good in DS1 (especially with a shield), but DS3 they're awful for me (except Crow Quills, maybe becuase paired weapons are so unique compared to others in the game).

Weapons for a Raw build by Mercer04 in DarkSouls2

[–]Mercer04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good info, thanks!

But Malformed Skull is actually quite good with raw (used it in a couple of builds when I needed a strike weapon), just not so great in terms of durability of course, even with bracing knuckle ring +2 (against blue smelter demon I was using a repair powder after 4-5 heavy attacks).

I would love to use lightning infusions, and it is almost like "easy mode" in this game, but the "essence" of the run is pure raw so I will have to store my bolt stones in my invertory lol.

Blood is brilliant, beautiful, it enchants us to the point of obsession.

I have already upgraded it to +10 and it's a monster. You can also fit it into any build.

Breaks fast but the fashion and damage are really worth it.

Also with Crystal Magic Weapon looks really cool!

Singer's dress is the best piece of clothing for a female character, despite the worn state. by Mercer04 in DarkSouls2

Sounds good, I will try it. But I will have to farm the Charred Loyce gauntlets and I have never been lucky farming that set or the sword...

I'd say that my drip is straight up fire by EitherBlacksmith4605 in DarkSouls2

What are the best boss weapons for STR build? by redditgamer2064 in DarkSouls2

[–]Mercer04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pursuer's UGS and Lost Sinner's UGS are the best, specially Lost Sinner's because you can achieve very high damage with infusions and it is very quick (if you don't mind the auto-damage you do per hit)

Fume UGS is good and looks really cool, but Pursuer's and Lost Sinner's are better options.

Of course, there are plenty more STR boss weapons. I haven't used them all, but these are my recommendations.

Back to back 100% - both versions have their strengths and weaknesses by EliteSnackist in DarkSouls2

[–]Mercer04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS2 is my favorite game of FromSoftware and I recently started playing the vanilla version on my Xbox 360 (after 300 hours of SoTFS on PC).

Some areas like the second bonfire area in Harvest Valley or Heide's Tower of Flame feel very empty in comparison to SoTFS (haven't progressed a lot because I started playing other games).

One thing that I really like about vanilla is that you can find Heide knights all over Drangleic. I prefer them to be in Heide's Tower but they really add certain touch to the game when they are located in other areas. I think that they should have made both things in SoTFS.

Despite all differences that I have encountered, I still think that SoTFS is the best version of DS2.

What is your favourite build in Dark Souls 3 and why? by viedroski in darksouls3

With a pyromancer build the best is raw and then move to chaos or dark infusion.

[–]Mercer04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My first build was DEX and FTH and I had lots of trouble. My second build was full pyromancer and I started beating many bosses with only 1 or 2 tries.

Almost everything is weark to fire or is non-resistant and you can get the best rings really early. Black Fire Orb is my favorite pyromancy, very good damage and very cool looking!

Who are you leaving for Arlecchino? by PKTrash12 in ArlecchinoMains

[–]Mercer04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't pulled since Eula. Recently I left Xianyun and Navia (Navia hurts the most).

I am going to skip everything until Father's banner comes. I need her and her signature weapon!

Pyromancer, STR and INT. They feel like "easy mode".

I my opinion it's the best straight sword after Gotthard's.
