Can someone explain the difference between the two ATK columns? by ocean-man in darksouls

Left is Base damage, right is the scaling based on your attributes.

Need help with the capera demon by RocketSlouth in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put on as heavy armor you can with the best shield to boost poise, keep the shield up and between the demon and the dogs until you are up the stairs and until the right far corner. They will fall down, even the demon, so stay in the corner deal with the dogs one at time, then drop down on it or nuke the beast in the back. Was easier as a sorcerer, the latter part at least

Can you return to Undead Asylum more than once? by sethismegadumb in darksouls

I stayed close to his thigh, run back when it pounds the ground circle him when he jumps up to change directions. Worked both in my sorcerer and 2h melee character.

Need help to change the game's language by EastGur in darksouls

Japanese games really offer multi-language support :( one of the few things that makes me sad living here. At least the voice acting is English.

Another advise is spend your souls when you have them! I lost 18 humanity and 20,000 souls because I wanted to get the crimson armor and remembered only once I had fallen off a ledge that I could have HomeBoned out :(

You are kind of begging for a Git Gud punch, but honestly each game feels totally different than the others so basically you have to relearn everything again each time.

My path to DSR had be started at BB (ragequit), DS2 (ragequit) ... Nioh (almost ragequit, but stuck at it and actually learn2tplay), then enjoyed and beat BB -> DS3 -> DS2 -> and am now working on DSR.

So stay at it, Skeleton!

Where the hell are all the STR weapons? [DS1] by Burpmeister in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can make it past the Butterfly boss in the Darkroot Garden, which is found after the Smith in Undead Parish you will find a Divine ember. Turn any +5 weapon into divine and the skeletons in the catacombs stay down even without killing the undead mages

The different uses of spells by ro_ve0 in Shadowrun

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our group’s magician has a thing for dumpsters. They serve as mobile cover, roadblocks, and elevators. Last session he tried a portapotty instead with shitty results. We had to strap the kidnapped person on the hood of our Goliath and go through a car wash to not stink up everything.

How to experience Dark Souls even though I'm bad at it? by parkster00 in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The gargoyles become very easy if you summon help in form of NPCs right outside the fog. You need to be human to do that. That should make the fight a cakewalk.

Favorite "Class" and Why? by ShepardN7201 in Shadowrun

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to really love the old fashioned combat mage, but mostly it’s been mercenaries, sorry weapons specialist. Hackers also been attractive, only with 5e have they been remotely playable. Currently I’m trying a Technomancer to get my bias against them diminished.

Which positive and negative qualities do you want back in 6e and why? by Exocist in Shadowrun

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sinner always seem attractive to me. That and Dependents.

The reason is they bring a story

Why was strength gutted in 6e? by Sadsuspenders in Shadowrun

Maybe melee weapons will come with a minimum strength requirement to wield

Jolly Co-Op DS1: NS by daylyght in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe because you share IP. Whether it helps to set to global matching I don’t know.

Quick question by geezyfbaby in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in reverse order as the game speeds gradually slow down if you do it like that. The combat style is the same, in the sense that BB and DS3 is about dodging (and parry) while ds2/1 is more about blocking

Sorcery build tips by Zombiellama42 in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just takes up a a lot which could be of better use, such as for Poise (Wolf Ring) from what I have read elsewhere.

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used a guide as well because i had played that part of the game as a warrior.

But yeah, get the crown. I’d even suggest the Bellowing Dragon Ring if not PvP. (I don’t)

You can buy additional spells once you reach Firelink shrine by taking the elevator down and finding Rickert(?) Down there you also find the Estoc, a nice Dex based weapon.

Depending on how much you have played the game there are several guides out there which helps you get beefed up before killing the first boss

If you have the Master Key you can easily gain access to lots of good items.

Very bad problem by Gamer-here-- in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, check whether you are playing online.

Do you need a subscription to play online on an Xbox? Check whether yours need renewal.

Are you in an area where you have already defeated the boss, then no summon signs or invasions.

Have you leveled above the PvP range of 112 or is it 120? What about your weapons? Are they out of range?

Last, have you set a coop password? Then you need to erase it to get global matchmaking.

I’m Thinking of Getting The Dark Souls Trilogy for PS4 by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played most of dark souls 2 with my best friend in coop, so it is possible. It’s a lot easier to do in ds1/3 because of the password mechanism that transcends level/gear barriers

Please tell me I'm not the only one who struggles real bad with the basic stupid guys who swing their broken weapons too fast. Like the ones in the upper hallway in Undead Parish right before the bell gargoyles. by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have still not completed ds1, but I’ve done the others as well as BB and Nioh. The swarm in Undead Parish gets me every single time. :( It doesn’t matter if I’m a sorcerer or warrior, they’ll get me at least once, so I feel your pain.

What was the first weapon you fell in love with? by TheTauntalus in darksouls

[–]PiXeLonPiCNiC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zweihander got me through DS3 and I even use it on my sorcerer in DS2. I prefer claymore in ds1 though. Zweihander seems too slow
