>this thread

why does this fucking game need a strategy guide to understand basic mechanics??? (inb4 estus upgrade/boss soul uses/tooltips fucked up/proper route is left unknown on purpose)

To those who are telling me to do plunging attacks, I do but that piece of shit just keeps hitting me as soon as a I get up from his first attack. Staying close doesn't help at all.

>dying on one of the scripted bosses

>>190431778
Plunge attack, get behind him, run away to the other side, roll past himm when he's close, then run back and climb up. Repeat.

>>190431778
If you want to cheese him with plunges, then run halfway across the bridge after each plunge and roll under him as he chases you. Then you'll have time to climb the ladder. That's how I killed him the first time. Now I just roll through or away from his attacks.

>>190431568
cause Dark Souls is "hurrdcrrre xD"
Seriously though, ask From Software

Looking back on Taurus; man, he's fucking easy!

Reasons why he's hard as fuck when you first see him: Not knowing that for some frames of a roll you are invincible. Not having loadsa poise.

Things to do if you're struggling against Taurus: invest a single death in observation. Don't even try and hit him, just learn his moves while blocking and rolling where appropriate. With that knowledge you CAN beat it, possibly on your first try.

>OPs face when he gets to Capra Demon

I just started playing the game a week ago. I beat Taurus Demon in like 3 tries, I didn't even know you could do a falling attack like the Asylum Demon. I just man-fought it.

I just beat Quelaag and I have tried about 5 times to get out of her fucking lair / up the huge ladder(s) to where my friend told me is a shortcut back to Firelink, but I just keep dieing to dumb shit on the way out (the boulder fucks) or up (the same ogre faggots at the top). I haven't played in like 2 days it frustrated me so bad.

But it's still not as bad as the Demon's Souls swamp.

>>190432920
>Nobody one-shotted him without asking /v/ LOL or looking at a guide.
Except all those people who did. He isn't hard, especially if you came into Dark Souls having played Demon's Souls. Which plenty of people did; myself included.

>>190433750
I never had a problem with capra.

You niggers use too many stabbing weapons.

>plunging the TD
I prefer waiting up there for him to jump up. That fight is so much easier in a wide, open area. The camera is so unreliable on the bridge.

I just killed him, first try, on my Pyromancer.

Was pretty close to death though, I'll be honest I usually use a large two-handed weapon (Zweihander, Winged Spear) against Taurus when I do playthroughs.

>>190430105 (OP)
taurus is easy as fuck, the real problem is that you're a fucking casual. Now go play some angry birds

>>190434805
I think you might need the residence key to get to it, but the first few bosses are weak to lightning and it fucks shit up.

IF YOU BEAT THE ASYLUM DEMON YOU CAN BEAT THE TAURUS DEMON.

BAIT HIS SWING, ROLL BACK AND GO IN FOR A HIT WHILE HE'S RECOVERING, SAME STRAT. USE THE LADDER AND OR GOLD PINE RESIN. GOOD LUCK.

>>190435596
>>190435698
how else can you kill the first one before the second one shows up? without lultrec or solaire its annoying as fuck to fight both of them.

>>190432920
Nope.

First boss I died to was Ornstein and Smough, everything else I beat first try. I had a shitton of luck with me throughout the game.

Normal enemies killed me more often than even any of the later bosses, like the snipers in Anor Londo, took me a full two hours to get past the right one.

>>190435373
You wanna know how I know you haven't completed Dark Souls yet?

>>190436273
damage per seconds

>>190436273
You could probably do it in NG+ with the Dragon Crest Shield and Flame Stoneplate Ring, but in NG with so little fire defense it would be pretty rapey.

>>190436273
you obviously havnt finished the game if you think the gargoyles are the hardest boss
you can beat em with anything if you have trouble doing enough damage upgrade a weapon

>>190436373
I never got the big shit storm these guys caused. Just run up to the one on the right, parry him and keep moving. don't even have to worry about the other guy.

>>190436273
gitgud

>>190436273
The gargoyles can be killed by a moderately strong breeze. They're fragile as fuck

How did you have more trouble with them and less with O&S?

>>190436273
I didn't summon anyone throughout the game, because I didn't know what Humanity meant.

>>190436273
You don't. The second one shows up once the first hits 50% health.
I used a fire-resistant shield to tank their flames and fuck them up from behind.

>>190436273
+5 any weapon and apply pine resin?

>>190436273
+5 longword with both hand wielding it killed the first one very quickly.

Second one was cheesed with crossbow, because if he thinks he can use ranged attacks then so can I.

>>190436634
unless you're on ng+ or some shit any upgraded weapon will eat through their health

you can easily kill the first before the second one lands

>>190436046
Honestly, I don't care that much about the lore. DS2 can play in any universe or time, I don't care. I do care very much about the gameplay, so far everything looks like it will be as good as it is now. Hopefully they will fix the horrible multilplayer system (I mean gfwl and the ip pools), then I'm all good.

>>190436713
+5 and pine resin will kill a gargoyle in like 2 hits

>>190436568
I didn't know there's a parry, the arrows made my guy stagger and hit by another arrow. Most of the time though I got tired of running up and rising the fucking Londo platform from the bonfire, so i tried to run past the elctric demons and shit, often ending in quick deaths.

I just felt like not wasting any time, when I seemed to die horribly and quickly to the snipers.

>>190436531
>>190436417
No I have beat the game and every time I start a new character, I'm not talking new game here. O&S are easier because you have more room to work with and super smough is fucking easy modo. Gargoyles can stun lock you with flames and the rooftop is more narrow.

I guess this is just my experience but not one boss has been more annoying for me unless you count going for Kalameets tail.

>>190436568
to even parry the guy you have to roll on that narrow as fuck ledge which feels unnatural at first, until you realize the shitty hitboxing

THIS IS SUCH FUCKING BULLSHIT

I'm fucking done.

>>190437025
Do you ever +5 your weapon before reaching the gargoyles?
You can kill the first one with a +5 battle axe, longsword, shortsword, warpick, claymore, zewihander at like level 20ish before the 2nd gargoyle has time to even aggro you.

>>190437025
>Killing Ornstein first

I remember how hard I thought the Taurus and Capra Demons were when I first fought them. Now they're easy as fuck. Taurus especially, the Capra Demon can sometimes still be a little nasty, but the Taurus Demon is so easily dispatched now it's ridiculous. Feels nice though, easily taking care of an enemy that gave you trouble earlier.

For me, nothing exemplifies this better than Phalanx from Demon's Souls. I remember the first time I killed him, which was also my first try, I took like 20 minutes to kill it, at least. I was deathly afraid of being insta-killed. I had heard all the hype about the game, and it really got to me. I was overwhelmed by the amount of enemies on the screen.

Every time I went back to that boss I killed it in like 30 seconds, purely with Firebombs you got throughout the level before the boss. It's actually a joke of a boss, but I think it teaches you a valuable lesson of the game/series as a whole. Be patient, learn how enemies move/attack. It's really not a hard game at all, and it's certainly not artificial difficulty. You just have to accept you will die 2-3 or a few more times for each hard enemy in the game. I died to Capra Demon like 4 times just learning how to roll by his initial attack, and after I learned how to get by him and up the stairs, I beat him on my first try.

>>190435578
It won't be the same because the game will play almost identically, encounters aside.

am I the only one who died in the first tries because I didn't realise there was a ladder to kill the archers?

>>190437498
I think that makes it better because it will be more fun than frustrating by getting the hang of the mechanics

>>190437478
I wouldn't call the game artificial difficulty.

But there were some parts that were stupid. Did you find out the bonfire in Sen's Fortress by yourself (that means without messages)?

Mark my words
/v/ will shit at dark souls II because they will find it easier, where it really won't be so easy
Remember your first playthrough of dark souls? it felt actually hard. Me, for example, it took me 5 hours to beat the inital part of sens fortress, because I couldn beat the lizard soldiers, but now I pass it easily.
Most people from v didn't play demon souls, and this is why dark souls felt hard. Now, dark souls II is going to be easy for everyone

I played the shit out of DaS before the DLC came out
and I still had a lot of trouble on Manus, Artorias, and Kalameet

>>190434405
Beating Capra first try depends entirely on your equipment/style. Light characters have a hard time with him, but big shields/poise can easily negate him.

Likewise, Gaping is super easy with rolls but with heavy armor and your first attempt he's obnoxious (especially if you didn't kill the channeler)

>>190438118

>>190438118
Dude, just drop the game. I continued playing for 18 hours, it doesn't get better, you'll become pretty self sustaining and will be able to win most boss fights in 1-2 retries, and kill mobs no problem in a few hours. But the game is just boring as fuck and unenjoyable.

In all honesty I think it's one of the most boring games I've ever played, I lurked a few DSG threads and /v/ souls threads back when I was playing it and they seemed to basically make up depth for the game, "omfg praise the sun so funny" and everyone seemed to think the big eyed farting things were incredibly hard and i found them ridiculously easy.

No one even mentions the huge bugs such as the mosquito's clipping through the platforms in blighttown, or the enemys getting stuck on the terain in blighttown so much that it becomes the easiest place if you know where to make the fattys run to.

also steam says 23 hours becaues i restarted as a pyromancer to see if it was more interesting than a knight, turns out its still shit.

I'm stuck on biggie and smalls. I can barely get a hit on them with the dragon slayer motherfucker shooting lightening/lunging at me across the room.

>>190434064

>because the red tearstone ring is possible to obtain on the first playthrough

>>190439742
Just put enough points in Str/Dex so you can use the weapon of your choice, dont put to much into it.
Rest is up to what you want to use

>>190439480
If you never died then clearly you're in the minority. Good job on being better than everybody else (not being sarcastic).

I felt the area actively discouraged you from looking down there. With that giant throwing burning shit everywhere you either run through and not have time to examine things, or hug the walls but have fire periodically appearing between you and the bonfire.

>>190439986
>also steam says 23 hours becaues i restarted as a pyromancer to see if it was more interesting than a knight, turns out its still shit.
Class doesn't matter

I never knew /v/ was so casual. Didn't you guys play games from the 80s and 90s?

>>190439170
omg stfu, learn to read once again.

I said I reached sens fortress, i gave up there because it was a boring game.

>>190439742
don't ever put points into resistance

thats about it, do what you want otherwise

>>190439974
No, I went to the one under the bridge where the dragon tries to murder me.

Looks like I'm leveling up str and dex.

>>190440126
I wanted to do an entire playthrough as the same class rather than turn a knight specified for vitality stamina,strength and dex into a mage

>>190440083
dodge and don't forget to gitgud

go up the ladder and kill the 2 archers next to the fog gate, run forward and trigger the boss then sprint back up the tower and drop attack on him. Dodge through his legs and kite him around.
Repeat.

>>190439862
Don't put anything into Str until you find a weapon that needs more than you have, then only put the minimum into it. Exceptions to this are: dragon bone fist, greataxe

Same for dex.

Endurance gives you more stamina to swing/block more.

Faith and Intelligence are the same as Str, bare minimum. Lightning weapons are still better than other enchants UNLESS you're a faith or int build, then you'd use those enchants.

Otherwise, if you don't need more stam, get Vitality.

>>190440330
why don't you try actually reading the thread before you make a post

>>190440083
Summon Solaire,maybe another player, done#
If you are one of those who want to win without help, make sure you dont have much weight so you can run and roll away easily and kill ornstein quickly. Always run and do a few hits then repeat, so smough doesnt annoy you

>>190440154

Some of us did, and some of us enjoyed the fact that it was challenging and the hand holding was kept to bare minimum or not there at all.

Demon / Dark Souls scratched my itch for challenge.

>>190440197
....wait

What the fuck did I just do? Fuuuuck

>>190439986
In terms of capabilities, you are very limited for the first half of the game. Too bad the second half of the game has mostly shitty areas and bosses since the game was rushed.

It looks like DS2 will be rushed even more.

>>190439924
It's as "confirmed" as Solaire being Gwyn's firstborn.

So, CONFIRMED 1OO%

>>190440083
>summon soliare
>beat smough in like two seconds
>be ornstien in the next minute or two
>mfw that battle wasn't even that hard

I was only using a +6 zwei with no elemental upgrades and havels set

>>190440360
I still don't understand your problem here.
If i wanted to play HL1 as a crowbar only run, I'd have to restart the game and play using a crowbar... I couldn't switch 50% through to a crowbar and call it crowbar only.

>>190440171
>I gave up at sens fortress because I can't get passed the swinging blades
I'm reading just fine

>>190440556
>It looks like DS2 will be rushed even more.
There's no way.
Dark Souls had a dev cycle of 8 months

>>190440509
I didn't kick down the fucking ladder...

>>190440556
wait, how much more of the game did i have to do?
I thought I was around 70% done? how many more bosses/how many more hours would it take to complete?

>>190440665
No worries, it's not like the Boss respawns.

>>190440606
My problem is you are saying "specified".
The classes aren't specified for normal game playthrough. Every single ability in the game can be used by any fucking class in the game.
Nothing is specified to them. Some simply provide benefits over others if you want to distribute stat points a certain way.

>>190440665
Taurus demon is one of the few bosses that respawn so good luck anon

kiddan

>>190440772
Sen's fortress is like the 1/3 point.

>>190440635
Say you're for instance watching a movie or a tv show, and you've seen the majority of it, and you're like "is this going to get any better?" so you watch a bit more and you keep doing this. Then eventually a good movie/series gets released and you go play that because I have better things to do with my time than force myself to enjoy the shittest game ever to come out of japan.

>>190440556
DS2 won't be released until Q4 or Q1 of next year. That should be more than enough time.

>>190440556
won't even makes you think DS2 will be rushed?
they said they don't even think they'll get it out before 2014

and the only reason Dark Souls was rushed is because Namco Bandai didn't want to compete with Skyrim
they don't have that problem this time

>>190440935
>dark souls
>shitty
No that;s your opinion

>>190440113
>Not always choosing Master Key
You don't even have to kill Taurus.

>>190440058
does he have to record his videos off screen?
fuck that's annoying

its an assault on the senses
fucking shitty to listen to, and shitty to watch

>>190440083

This is the first boss fight that I feel really punishes you for not taking your time. Sure, you need to read gaping demon, Quaelaag, and the gargoyles a bit, but with Keenan and Kel you really need to watch how their attack patterns mix, and be patient. I can't tell you how many times on my first playthrough I tried to be greedy and get an extra hit, only to be skewered by Rosencrantz or flattened by Guildenstern. Being patient, moving constantly, and keeping both Milk and Cookies in view is key. This is one of those fights where locking on is a bad idea. Sure, you can keep track of Hans, but Franz will wreck your shit from off screen with an easily avoidable move that he telegraphed, but you couldn't see him.

When I first met them, I was doing a quality build with my claymore (a balanced build just to get a feel for the game) and Toejam and Earl kept on wrecking me. Forced me to go back and grind some souls to upgrade my armor which I had neglected to do. Even then it took me a few tries because I would get greedy and try to take a swing when I shouldn't have. I ended up going into the castle and aggroing a few silver knights at once, and practiced dodging their attacks all at once, trying to keep track of them. For me, that was a big help in preparing for Bam and Dunn.

what did you start playing instead?

>>190440772
sens fun house - Iron Golem
Anal Rodeo - Biggie and smalls
new londo - 4 kids
Tomb of the giants - Nito
demon ruins - demon firesage
lost izalith - bed of chaos
douk's archive - seath the scaleless

you missed loads of fun

>>190440901
Got it now.

>>190441201
It's called exploring, I went to fucking New Londo first.

Fun with those ghosts, heh.

Seriously if you think the Taurus demon is hard, you suck ass at vidya.

>>190441141

>Bam and Dunn

I don't know why that was funny. It isn't, but it make me chuckle

>>190440935
What do you hope to accomplish here? To convince us all that you quit because you have some superior perception of the game instead of just being shitty?

Because you couldn't possibly be hoping to change our opinion of the game or anything. That would just be retarded.

>>190441231
You forgot Demon Centipede.

>>190440832
You sound dumb so I'm not going to reply to you again.
I'm 99% sure that if I were to play pyromancy I'd use my pointt differently as stated I wanted to play from level 1 to the end of the game as a pyromancer, get fukt.

>>190441480
I'm having an opinion and voicing it like everyone else.
Hopefully showing op that if he's not having fun now, he wont be having fun in another 17 hours.

People who hate a game should be allowed to post too, otherwise it looks like /v/ loves the game

Oh god those rats...

Rats are my biggest fear

>>190441079
Yep. He claims that "it brings him closer to his audience".
Also he is using the camera to record his computer

That's a rare occurrence though, and it's only for PvP builds.
Only you PvP religously, class doesnt matter.

Just got fucking stomped by that knight.

You're not going to do anything close to that by whining like a girl and not having any concrete points.

He's optional though.

>>190441815
As is he, basically.

>>190441826
Man I said I wouldn't reply, but you're so right I just loaded up the game and bought some spells, and guess what? all the bosses reset so I can still do a full pyromancy playthrough using my 18-19 hour savegame. Thanks anon.

>>190441501
and Gwyndolin

>>190441757
That's why the sewers fucked ass. Especially when a rat got cornered and began a huge ass-stomping fest relentlessly with six others.

OP's image is not true ruse material, it must contain the uchigatana and Solaire's armor for full potential.

So, I've just reached the Lordvessel.
But I want to go for the Darkwraith covenant.

My problem is, there is nothing in the game that indicate you to go see the other snakes in the abysses instead of siding with the first snake you met.

It feels like I'm just going here because I've read it somewhere on the internet. So is there anything in game ? Any clues that leads you to the 4 kings and the second snake ?

Also the rythm is suddenly dropping hard. Some people said the second half of the game was incomplete, so does it gets better after New Londo ruins ?
