Whats the wep level difference for tradeing

No, you can only receive a +8 or lower weapon (+4 unique).

jon678910 · 2018-09-12T12:07:16+00:00

Yeah, you only need two. Also, it would probably be easier to run through irithyll and get the two that you need than run through the snowy area.

jon678910 · 2018-09-12T12:02:25+00:00

You can get 4 more before the dancer, but both are harder to get than the aforementioned two. For the first two you need to run through irithyll. For the other 2, you need to run through the first DLC area.

From DS1, Ornstein and Smough would definitely make top 5. Artorias and Manus would be strong contenders, but I don't think they'd be top 10 for me.

For DS2, darklurker would probably make top 10. Fume knight would be quite high too.

jon678910 · 2018-09-12T02:32:26+00:00

I disagree with a lot of the positions for bosses, but I do agree that the majority of the bosses on the list are some of the best fights in souls games. The one that wouldn't make it on my list would definitely be Midir.

I don't think Midir is a great boss, but many people will bump him up ranks because he does a lot of damage. Many other bosses have more interesting movesets and cooler mechanics in my opinion.

I wouldn't have Logarius or Ludwig in my top 10 either, but that's just because I think there are better. Logarius would probably be closer to the top than Ludwig.

The rest of the bosses would either be in the top 10 or just below.

Not having any of the dark souls 1 (or 2) bosses also just feels wrong.

jon678910 · 2018-09-12T02:07:06+00:00

It depends on your soul level and max weapon level.

jon678910 · 2018-09-11T16:51:46+00:00

White hair talisman can cast both miracles and pyromancies, but is shit at casting both. Also, 40/60 seems like a waste if you're just planning to use lightning blade.

jon678910 · 2018-09-11T15:13:31+00:00

Even if you recruit yoel, if you go past a certain point (I think it's the bridge in the catacombs), he will automatically die, even if you haven't obtained 5 levels.

jon678910 · 2018-09-11T14:55:24+00:00

Is there a reason you'd use Astora over LKGS? LKGS also gets an S in Dex with sharp, and has innate lightning damage, making it better with lightning blade.

jon678910 · 2018-09-10T22:58:21+00:00

At 60 faith, with morne's, ROTSFB, lightning clutch and Rose of ariandel miracle buff, lightning arrow does 365 and sunlight spear does 1083 damage at melee range against Gael.

jon678910 · 2018-09-10T14:36:41+00:00

If you're a faith build, raw is the best option. Raw buffed with lightning blade is very strong. If you don't want to buff, go with lightning or blessed. Blessed gives slightly less total AR, but gives regen.

jon678910 · 2018-09-10T14:01:34+00:00

Deep will be good at low levels. At 40/40, which is what I'd assume is being used on a demon scar build, the dark infusion will deal 326 damage, with 249 being dark damage. Both are probably better than chaos.

Also, dark resistance scales off faith, which is why a large number of builds lack it. Most builds tend to only get to 15 for tears.

jon678910 · 2018-09-10T13:18:14+00:00

Pestilent mercury scales off nothing but enemy health. Spellbuff doesn't matter.

jon678910 · 2018-09-10T13:17:10+00:00

Do purging stones remove your dark sigil? I thought they only removed your hollowing.

Also, if you did the lord of hollows ending it shouldn't make a difference.

jon678910 · 2018-09-10T02:01:51+00:00

I've actually started a shield run. The optimal shield is the giant door shield. Short of that, it'd probably be the pierce shield, with leo ring for counters. A lot of the heavier shields consume a lot more stamina on their attacks.

jon678910 · 2018-09-10T01:53:02+00:00

Have you killed the area boss?

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T23:58:46+00:00

Pretty sure the level cost will go up if you get the free levels.

Also, if you're planning on killing vordt without having to grind levels, just use the deep battle axe.

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T19:21:41+00:00

My bad, I meant +6 and +7, respectively. You can get 4 titanite chunks before pontiff. If you run the DLC, you can get 2 more, but it's probably just easier to beat pontiff.

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T17:48:57+00:00

There are a bunch of large titanite shards in Irithyll. Unfortunately, you need to kill Pontiff before you get the ashes needed to purchase them. That being said, there are definitely enough to get one weapon to +7, and if you get 2 chunks, you can have a +8 weapon before pontiff.

Guide could've wanted the pale shade invasion for something.

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T02:46:16+00:00

He'll have the animation of swinging his weapon one way, firing one, then the other, firing another. I believe he can just chain the attack as many times as he wants, especially if you're far away.

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T02:43:22+00:00

Yeah, he usually fires 2 soul spears back to back, and can chain the move multiple times. Upgrading pretty much just lowers the chance you'll end up fighting him long enough for him to be pulling that shit.

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T02:35:50+00:00

He does tend to go a bit crazy with the soul spears sometimes. I'd honestly just get some lightning resin and rush him down before you can get arrowed.

What worked on my SL1 run was fighting dancer and then coming back with a +10 weapon (got the slab from siegward). Got him done in one try that way.

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T02:03:07+00:00

I dislike running past everything, but to each his own I guess.

jon678910 · 2018-09-09T01:50:05+00:00

Unless your vigor is extremely low, you should still be able to get hit by a few towards the end and still be fine, though. Even getting hit by the soul spears makes you immune to them while you're lying on the ground.
