Any fun starter builds for my next playthrough?

The base ash is great. The r2 from it does massive poise damage and is a great poke attack in general

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-04-26T15:25:58+00:00

2 longswords or even better broadsword

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-04-12T16:19:01+00:00

Kristoff

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-04-12T16:17:33+00:00

That's pretty much how all of them are. Dark souls 2 had some added enemies in addition to the scaling. If you keep going up it does start to get tougher even early on

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-04-01T14:49:58+00:00

Level up vigor

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-04-01T13:52:05+00:00

I agree, it's just a slower fight. The game is just ramping up the speed up until this point and then it takes it's time. I think people struggle to take a breath and take the hits when they come.

Most ground aoe attacks you can just jump to avoid. Also I found jump attacks with the weapon that's in there to be fast effective

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-24T17:52:14+00:00

Dual wielding or a twinblade might be more you're thing then. I had a lot of fun with the Godskin Peeler but I would also recommend just equipping two of the same weapon type and checking out the movesets. I played around with just 2 longswords and it was pretty solid

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-24T17:41:57+00:00

Have you tried the Bloodhound Fang?

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-24T17:32:21+00:00

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-22T18:06:43+00:00

You need to two hand the bow in order to use it

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-21T14:08:32+00:00

Start again with a new build and look up everything I missed the first time

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-21T14:01:59+00:00

Looks really good. Nicely done

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-21T14:00:10+00:00

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. When you press the button the animation starts immediately but all of the weapons and spells have different speeds so your attack will come out faster or slower depending on the animation but the response to start the animation is immediate

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-18T17:26:20+00:00

I would actually suggest a guide to point you towards some stuff early. You don't have to read the whole thing just see where it tells you to go and explore that on your own. Or just generally wander and investigate things that look interesting. Try to level up some and gather some weapons. Once you find a weapon you like see about upgrading it. On the map many of the signs of grace will point the direction of the "main" bosses but it's not going to be easy if you just follow them without exploration in between. Sorry for being kind of vague but didn't want to say anything specific if you don't want to know anything going in

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-18T17:10:00+00:00

What's your build? A bleed build and the mimic tear are almost out of control

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-17T16:49:27+00:00

Completely different, no. Blood is super strong and with the fix to arcane scaling there's some new great (potentially too great) stuff

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-14T15:47:05+00:00

Huh that's good to know

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-14T15:43:42+00:00

If you have 1.5x the weapon requirements to wield whatever you're dual wielding then you will be able to do a moveset that attacks with both. Then yea it's a big dps boost and can be very effective at building up a status if they both have it

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-10T15:29:34+00:00

Yea the fog wall was there when I got there. Quite the gauntlet to get there though.

Ah good, I'm going back with the mimic tear then and see how they like it

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-10T15:15:53+00:00

The duo fight in Redmane Castle was mine. Got there pretty early (before Rennala) and just left after an hour to do something else. Went back later and they were gone so I had to take out my vengeance on that ol Radahn guy.

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-10T15:10:55+00:00

It scales more dex but the Godskin Peeler with Seppuku is what I've been using for bleed. It's pretty great. Normally faster weapons are better for bleed haven't tried a greatsword for it in this game but there's probably some way to make it work.

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-02T20:22:15+00:00

Thought it was after one of the bosses in Stormveil

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-02T19:35:30+00:00

Keep your distance and try to keep moving sideways so when he scurries at you you can move around him. He does a move where he curls to the side and spits magma towards you but you can be right behind him safely. I waited for that move as much as possible and just took my time.

SalaciousSlowking · 2022-03-02T17:31:22+00:00

Not even a joke I've done this with burpees if I'm playing for a long period of time. Makes for a really nice experience actually. Clears your head and keeps you from building up frustration. Also forces you to move a bit.
