I don't like the delayed parry in dark souls 2 and 3, I prefer the instant one in dark souls 1. I always parry too late. 🛡️
Hey all, I am looking for some input on what to level next. This is my first play through and have been following along what guides I can find on here for builds. I am running lightning uchi with dark weapon and from what I have seen, it’s not really worth dumping more levels into dex with how the scaling works. Should I just pump into END? Vigor at 30 feels fine so far, I just killed the smelter demon for reference on where I am at progression wise. I am just looking for PvE advice, not PvP. Thanks!
i killed the 4 old souls and lightned the 4 primal bonfires but i dont know where i need to go :c

btw i havent played demon souls or bloodborne but i did my research on the best boss for those games
I'm playing on the PS3 with no DLC. I was going to use old Knight's Hammer but I farmed out Hildy and none dropped.
Before I pop a bonfire aesthetic and try this again, am I barking up the wrong tree?
Is this farmable here in PS3?
Also, i would Want to have a weapon too in a hand, i was thinking the time knight straight sword.
I haven't played this character in a while. Probably 3 months?
I'm at sinner's rise but I have no idea what I was trying to do with the build.
Any suggestions? What should I pick up next? Any ideas on where this might have been going? :-P
Anyone know of mods that make ds2 less frustrating? I've played all the other games and just finished ds3 and Elden ring in SL1. I was wondering if there was any mods that make the gameplay more fun and fit the adapility stat or whatever the dodge roll stat is
I think I am googling it wrong. I can't seem to find any lore about it.
I'm just starting my first run through of DS2. I'm going with a sorcery type but plan on using sorcery as more of a backup. My question is what would be a good mele type weapon to use. Should I use one that just scales with Strength so I don't have to invest into three categories like intelligence, strength and dex? I was thinking maybe go with a all strength weapon and maybe turn it into Magic so it would be strength and intelligence.
I'm going to test Profound Still on some NPCs that usually only cast spells. Any requests? We already know that Jester Thomas pulls out a Sun Sword, and I'm heading for Hexer Nicholai rn.
I really dont like the mace and claymore, so i don't know anything else that reliably gets me through the game. Stats: 20 vig 25 end 15 vit 16 str 25 dex 16 atn 25 adp 4 int 22 fth
I was fighting the ancient dragon but he killed me so when I returned to the bonfire I used this item 4 times thinking it would make me stronger now the enemies are getting ridiculously resisting. Can the effect of the item be removed and does the enemies in all areas get stronger or just the one I used the item in?
I tried messaging them with no answer
Looks sick but running blunt build and took 2 minutes on my second try
I am currently on my first ever playthrough and as I've gone through the game and see all the cool dex spears and pole arms and cool miracles I realized I would die if I didn't do a second playthrough before playing ds3 for the first time. I heard that your not supposed to level vitality is this true if so what do I level?
Flair because look at my fluffy toes and head.
I was farming items from the two desert sorceresses that should appear in the area of the image but for some reason at one point they didn't respawn again. Does anyone know why this happened and how I can solve it?
The game slowly become survival game for me, being cautious with everything because die once and hp reduce or use life gem and both cost souls but the recent highlight for me is lighting the torch in a very dark place and exploring, something about it just really nice
Let me know if you’re interested thanks!
I wanna dual wield them. Are they good, because up until now i was playing with the saints spear.
Asking this question because I dislike or hate basically every aspect of this boss besides his lore and the area outside the arena looking cool, but that’s just me and my personal tastes.
Does his boss fight get rated highly because of his lore or the idea behind the gimmick in the first phase?
