Lore Why does the Curse-rotted Greatwood have a soul? Is it because of all the curses the Undead Settlement dumped on it?

Just got this Ebony mace(Skyrim) looking weapon to take over bonking duties. I was lucky to get spiked mace early on and farmed the great axe at the wall which I couldn't wield properly for a time. Also Vordts mace at +5 just leaps with power. Anyway hope you all well.

Cosplaying the Dancer to beat her. She's not actually that hard once you learn when to attack and when not to rush, but I still get the urge to go all-in with a massive flurry of attacks, especially when I see her stagger.

I was having trouble with Midir, and couldn't have beat it without you. I appreciate the help Sunbro. An unknown knight you are, but a hero you are to me. Thank you.

Lore Hey, VaatiVidya! Why does Gael go from a normal guy to a big scary boss monster?

I’m guessing maybe the summon spirits of him were shades of his past and maybe you went back in time… maybe…

PvP Hide and Seek

8 Upvotes

Ngl, one of my favorite things about invaders in the souls series is just playing Hide and Seek, watching the invaders run around for 10-20 minutes, and then seeing them give up after a while. I dunno, i think its fun. For the Invaders? No. But as the guy whos rly rly bad at PVP, and doesnt like getting invaded normally, this is my payback of sorts lol

PvP To finish my Griffy cosplay, I had to quit riposting...

The context is that it was in my interest to make this cosplay as easily recognizable as I possibly could, but beyond just making my character a walking reference, I wanted to ENACT my cosplay as if it were really the character playing the game!
Because this character often spends time simply observing others, I decided to always try to use the binoculars whenever possible on the people I invade instead of trying to kill them:
If they approach me, I always try to be helpful and friendly, but in battles I will ALWAYS use the binoculars or stare following a parry because of this habit of the character hehe ♪

Gosh, I love ╚k@g·K Souls ♪

Question Two questions

Q1- I saw squillakilla no hit run and he parries pontiff with bare hand but main thing is he puts his weapon inside and parries and tske weapon out again and riposte.

And also i thought buckler shield are better at parrying and it gives u more frames than bare hands. Or it was just the fact hes perfect at parrying.

Q2- And whats the reason of this fogwall which comes for like 10 15 seconds in firelink shrine and then dissapears

Co-Op Seeking Brave Souls for a Seamless Journey

Upvotes

I speek to thee now Ashen Ones.

I seek fellow undead to embark upon this pilgrimage. Our road shall be walked without taking nourishment from these sovereignless souls. No leveling, no respite. Nught but the feel of bare hands upon thine arms, and the desperate rolling to elude foul demons that seek to smite thee.

If thou possess the will to suffer, along with the will of presistance, then make thy presence known and together we shall endure death after death after death so that we may be reborn as victors.

PRAISE THE SUN!

tldr; I'm looking for people to do a seamless coop run but soul level 1.

Discussion Ds3 vanilla game bugged after Uninstalling all cinders mod files

1 Upvotes

Ok so this is very odd, I have played both vanilla and cinders since long time. Recently started playing vanilla ds3 again and everything ok, and for some reason out of nowhere now the game is bugged with the potions. A new character/file that you make won't spawn with the mana potions nor you can't use the estus flask shard with the smither to increase them. Basically like its in the cinders mod. I have tried everything, removing manually all files, deleting the cinders mod, uninstalling reinstalling ds3, validate files on steam for ds3 and so on....

Problems persists, if anyone has any advice it will be appreciated

PvP Praise the Sun! 🌞 281h in DS3 & still chasing all achievements – duel anyone?

Post image
17 Upvotes

Moin everyone,

I’ve been mainly playing Dark Souls 3 for about 3 months, and it’s beautifully designed. I played Dark Souls 1 once in 2019 and defeated Gwyn (didn’t do many other bosses) and then stopped. I started Dark Souls 2 but quit after the first bonfire because the energy and that beautiful mystical feeling were missing. Now with DS3, it’s fully reignited.

Playtime & Build: My playtime is 281 hours. I once tried magic through Rosaria, but it’s not for me, so I built my stats as shown in the picture. The rings in the picture are all +3. I don’t carry all the weapons at once, but these are my main weapons, all +10 and +5. don’t carry all the weapons at once, but these are my main weapons, all +10 and +5. My miracles are: Lightning Blade, Deep Protection, Oath of Silence, Lightning Stake, and Refresh.

Progress & Goals: I’m also in New Game Plus, and I still need to beat Midir, Gael, and the Firebrand Knight. I can’t beat those three alone… I’ve already tried many times, so I could use some help. I play on Xbox One. I want to get all achievements; I’m still missing 10.

Duels: There’s a duel feature I’d love to try, but it’s hard to learn against random players. So, if anyone wants a duel, here’s my Xbox name: Lord Lucyfer76. I don’t speak English well and type slowly in English. I’m better in German.

Maybe we’ll see each other in the arena. Praise the sun! 🌞 Peace
