Dark Souls II

[iittopper]

Still saving up to buy this game DS2 is not meant to be cracked

You are right . Its MP is very unique . There is sense of great happiness you experience when you help Fellow Undead to defeat the Bosses .
[MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION] - Cant Defeat The pursuer in Fallen Forest , Need advice !

Game looks very Good with GeDoSaTo + SweetFX ( Although people are getting banned for file modification ) .

^^shield up, circle strafing and stay away. When he does that 3 combo then you get one chance to hit him. Just don't hit twice, getting greedy can cost hp.

Mostly you need to roll towards him when his third attack (overhead smash or horizontal swipe) happens and you are too close. He is a slow boss with predictable moveset.

At low level it is a fight of patience and endurance. Keep your shield down whenever you get opportunity to regenerate stamina faster.

I know I died so many times to this boss. Half health and with Heide's knight sword, finally defeated.

Looking glass knight, coolest boss environment. It's thundering and raining heavily. And the boss can summon other player to his aid.

Im playing from my friend's account, give me your steam id faun, ill add u..

Where to farm twinkling titanite ?
also what is a good weapon and armor set for early mid game.. Im currently using Dragleic sword
I like that weapon, reminds me of claymore from the original game.. So guys any advice ?

*dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72261408/DarkSoulsII%202014-05-07%2019-16-58-94.bmp

This is messed up

 

[Faun]

Drangleic Sword is good, I liked Hiede Knight's and shortsword too. It all depends on how you intend to play the game. I primarily play with swords melee character. Upgrade your weapons (no need to upgrade shields).

For armor, I go for the looks because most of the time good shield makes up for it and rolling away is a good tactic too. At times I feel agility is more important in boss fights. So there is no need of armor. May be required in PVP though.

Armor is useful for resistance against bleed, poison, curse etc. I have never upgraded any armor set. But then you have adaptability too to increase those attributes.

There are few armors like jester armor which have special effects. But that's a lot later in the game.

I never thought about farming twinkling titanite. But if you get the gold covetous ring then wear it for more probability of item drops.

Magic users are so OP in the game. T_T

Do I need to play DS1 before DS2? [MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION] and other guys who played DS1 too

No . But i will highly recommend it to play DS1 . For now you can start DSII because you dont need any addition mod + fix for PC version . Game is well optimized for PC .

This time Namco has really done a good job, im getting 60 fps constant and the mouse keybaord controls are fantastic.. GJ namco

The white knights that do not attack when aggroed.. What happens when I kill them ? Are they worth killing ?

 

[Faun]

^^White Knights ? Hiede knights ? They do get aggroed when you attack them.
[MENTION=89186]Piyush[/MENTION]
Both games are good. I haven't completed Dark Souls 2 though. You can start with Dark Souls 2. The stories are not related much.

But part of the fun is online gameplay. And you can see the shades of other players in your world. You can check bloodstain of other other players in your world and see how they died. Potentially you get to know if a certain place is dangerous or not.

You get messages written on ground by other players which provide guidance.

So, it's kind of an awesome experience.

they will attack you when you attack them . They can drop spear , Souls or other Weapon . I always kill them /

 

[Piyush]

Ok will start this one along with Lost Alpha as soon as I get my gpu

 

[TheFallenLord]

I killed the guy with the blue sword sitting outside the temple/ruins in Majula. Am I gonna regret it? Was he important?

 

[Faun]

^^If you summon him for 3 boss fights and he lives then you get his sword and something. I never bothered as I am mostly doing solo run. NG+ will try quest lines of NPCs.

[TheFallenLord]

LOL I killed him & got his sword.

 

[Nerevarine]

That is not the moonlight greatsword ... If u talk to the merchant guy in Iron keep, he will say its a replica not the original one..
The actual moonlight greatsword u can get in NG+.. MGS has a special projectile attack for Right trigger

Anyway guys what armor weapons were u using ?
Me - Alone knight armor +10
Vengarl helm - +1
Alone knight trousers +7
Wanderer's Manchette +10
I was using the Vengarl set fully but i figured since i wont be able to upgrade it to +5 due to lack of twinkiling titanite, i would be better off with a basic titanite armor and upgrade it fully
Weapons - Claymore +10 lightning infused with sunlight blade = OP
Black Knight greatsword +5 Fire infused
Black Knight greataxe <-- I keep this to kill crystal lizards because of the 2 handed downward swing
I dont like ultragreatswords, they are too slow for me, claymore has the best moveset of all the weapons, a VERY VERY good weapon, Black knight greatsword is good too, it has fire damage without any infusion but it has high dex requirement and takes more stamina but has longer reach..

BTW, Faun, try poison arrows from the guy in Doors of Pharos.. They are freaking OP, I killed Old Iron king with 15 poison arrows

Sadly today's the last day I will be able to play this I have to buy this soon, i hate being at the mercy of a friend :/

EDIT : Faun, I just noticed something, why does your textures look so much sharper, im running at full settings at 60 fps yet my textures look way too blurry ..

Same here . Have to buy it , but price is high , rs 1999 . Although Invasion and Funny message from other player is Cool , i still prefer to play Solo during boss fight .

I only have problem with sorcerer build enemies as my character is strength oriented. Old iron king was easy and slow. Used Greatsword.

Mainly using greatsword+10 and zwei+10. Also used blacksteel katana. Manslayer looks good with it's poison damage.

Black knight weapons are good too because of fire damage. But cannot buff them.

Doors of Pharos was easy too with those dwarf and elephant type enemies, playing as strength character.

Poison arrows are great for those rhino enemies and will use same to hunt the 2 giants in black gulch.

As for the screenshots. I have disabled the camera and motion blur. Forced all other settings from NVIDIA control panel.

I don't see importance of armor except when it's PVP. Though I wear what I like.

 

[Alok]

playing this along with zelda wind waker. Its great game but not that god story. So far i have got nice for surviving in a dark soul game. Died only once, now in forest of fallen, killed that last giant.

Hope you are still playing [MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION], Im coming back !!
