Bloodporne Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I've been playing offline completely. Always do on my first playthroughs. I am starting to itch for assisting people on bosses though...that's the only multiplayer thing I engage with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta see how I can find some competitive MP. I invaded someone but feel dirty doing that. I've helped friends, but at least right now, I want to do what I can alone in my own game.

I finally just gave up. I believe in you @brucoe I beat DS1 and technically DS3 (need to do DLC areas) with KB&M. will beat Elden Ring and Sekiro with KB&M. I even got good at multiplayer.

Needed help for the 2 main bosses I have fought so far but I think I'm at the point where my build just pwns. I do feel I fucked up decided to do quality because technically 40 dex/str will do more damage then 40 str but it means I need to dump points into dex as opposed to keeping my points focused on str and endurance.

I've consistently found invaders to summon at the Tree Sentinel site. There's also an arena shaped landscape feature under a bridge near Stormveil Castle where you can frequently find invader summon signs, it's north of the Warmaster's Shack.. I'm sure that in a week or so, there will likely be an agreed upon community spot, such as just after Pontiff in DS3 or the Bridge just before entering Iron Keep in DS2. Where do you get the turtle shield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't jump off you missed it. Also there are a bunch of multiplayer messages telling you to jump off. And you could jump or roll down the side but yeah, there's your tutorial area. When you get to the tutorial area, the game stops and presents pop ups to you and you CAN’T miss those. They could easily hit you with one of those to make sure you don’t miss the tutorial area, or ask you if you want to go through it, etc. There’s also no reason that the game doesn’t give you something like the crafting kit at the same time you get access to leaving messages.

Well the stormveil. Once you beat a boss in an area no more invasions are possible. Atleast in the Dark Souls trilogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obscurity for the sake of obscurity. Stop playing Horizon and play this game instead. Thanks. EDIT: Actually I think it's wondefully designed. EVERYONE can see it. Chris even admitted he saw it and didn't go. Now if you are new to the series you'll surely jump down. If you're a vet maybe you won't but if you've played before you don't really need the information there. Or you could try to find a way down there that doesn't result in death, if you think you're going to die, like I said I rolled down the side very safely. Also from what I've noticed this game is very generous with fall damage, something you'd learn if you jumped off as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Just now, Dimden said: IIRC, Co-Op and Named NPC Summons are the only thing affected by Boss Status in Souls games. Invader Summon Signs for PvP should be unaffected. There were plenty of post-game fight clubs setup for DS3 at Pontiffs where you could invite white and red phantoms for staged fights. Weeping Peninsula, I forget the exact location, but it's in a tower near Castle Morne. That's where I am now. Will look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPDunks4 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Havent read up on everything in here, but if you die in the Castle, or maybe Dungeons as well, you lose 20%ish of runes even if you recover them. Didn't realize it, but died with 13k and only had 10k when I recovered them, stings a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just is what it is. If im close to a lvl, ill finish getting enough to level before I move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Boy the castle is a big maze. I had to get out of there. Level 35 and now I'm trying more bosses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I did notice the drop in Runes. It kinda sucks because once you get to my lvl area only boss fights make a dent. I saw a grinding guide randomly while browsing Youtube so I might just do that. Oo snap I can grind now while I am on lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 So I don’t know if I’m slow on this but after going crazy trying to find map shards I’ve figured it out. They are all next to those monolith things the first one was. Also as long as the map isn’t foggy it’s marked on the map as a monolith thing and they are all as far as I can tell along a main road. Just unlocked a good chunk of the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because it is bad, but because it is very good with no skill required. It is a great weapon for newbs and vets. I guess the downside is that you can make other weapons stronger faster. I have had it plus 2 for a while now, but the other sword I dual wield is +8 and deals more damage. Doesn't have bleed tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You REALLY have to watch your attack window because it's somewhat slow compared to a regular sword or similar. I started with Estoc and this one's windup really fucked me up during bosses at first, their combos tend to be really quick. Still a fantastic weapon if you can be a bit selective about when to attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
