I'm around lvl 70 just got to the duke's archives

Doing dex/pyro build, I was using chaos blade +3 but switched to a lightning spear +5. I found this spear and just leveled it, I didn't enchant it. Can I level it past +5? Is there a way to make it stronger?

Is there a better weapon choice I should look at?

Currently getting this done by a friend. We’re 2 sessions deep with a third to come. Figured it would fit here. Done by KrimsonKev on Instagram.

Question is anybody working on wiki.gg wikis for dark souls 1 and 3??

0 Upvotes

i think it's odd how the series is almost 15 years old and yet only the second game has a somewhat unfinished wiki as of writing this

How would you say, would Kalameet or Midir fit into Monster Hunter? I mean, they would be elder dragons, but how strong would they be in this game?

Question Summon Sign Visibility | what does this do? [DS1/DSR]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

So I’ve been trying to get summoned for Artorias and have had no luck so far. I went into network settings to make sure I had region matchmaking set to global, but I also found this setting called “summon sign visibility”, and it’s two options are “restricted” and “unrestricted”. I tried googling this to find out what it does and only found a single post from 8 years ago asking the same question, and all of the replies are just various people’s speculation, most of which conflict with each other. Since that was a very old post, I’m wondering if this has actually been figured out since then. My main questions are:

1-Does this feature affect the visibility of my own summon sign [within other player’s worlds], or does it affect my ability to see summon signs put down by other players?

2-How does toggling between the two options affect this? What do “restricted” and “unrestricted” actually mean?

Thinking of starting from a bonfire and just moving through as much of the game as I can without resting, using estus flasks and heals until I run out of both.

Have you done this and where's your favorite place to start/favorite route?

Edit: definitely NOT no-hit run. I love this game but I do not have it like that lol

The tribute I am most proud of so far. For metal music and Artorias lovers - Vocal version if you want to hear his story retold, Prepare To Die Edition instrumental if you want his story felt.

Discussion Not sure I've seen this elsewhere but maybe an update to Dark Souls Remastered could let us play the whole Game as the final Boss Gwen, Lord of Cinder, after beating it

0 Upvotes

Essentially we could use His sword, His armor, and His attacks, like for example the grab attack. And have His Stamina as well and do His Combos. Maybe this could be a mod. Not sure there are Mods for DS.

ALL HAIL MIYAZAKI-SAMA! Looking forward to HIS next GAME.

Question Blighttown is living up to it’s reputation

7 Upvotes

First time DS1 player here after coming from DS3 and Elden Ring. Struggled with the clunkiness in the beginning but I absolutely love it now, I’m really glad I pushed through when I wanted to give up. As frustrating as it is not being able to fast travel between bonfires, I really appreciate the level design. I quite like that I have to retrace my steps and memorise the map.

However, I have just reached Blighttown, and after dying a ridiculous amount of times and realising the hard way that my weapon loses durability, I’m feeling like ripping my hair out. I’ve had to run all the way back because I didn’t buy a repair kit from the blacksmith before heading down.

Is there anything else I need to prep for before I go back? I have about 12 purple moss clumps and 12 blooming purple moss clumps. I’ve retrieved the rusted iron ring. Am I good to go? I’m trying not to follow any guides or look too much up because I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I’d also appreciate not having to run back on myself again! Lol.

Hello fellow undead. I haven't played the game in a long while and I've just started another new game this time I wanna do a pyromancer build mainly for the achievement but I just wanna fuck around as Roy Mustang from FMAB lol. Getting the pyromancies I feel is easy so what I need help with is the fashion souls. Idk what armor set combination to get him at least close to looking like his main art. I'm thinking maybe I could some white cloak like the assassins from Anor Londo for his Ishvalan war look could work but idk.

Pls help 🙏

Simplesmente o Boss mais fácil que já enfrentei até agora, simplesmente só esperar ele dar a investida e depois que correr é só dar 2-3 hits e fazer isso o resto da fight que você ganha, percebi que em dark souls alguns bosses se aproveitam de certa emoções, por exemplo eu tive uma luta intensa contra minha ansiedade nesse Boss porque demorou muito a luta, porém foi fácil. Demônio cabra por contrapartida é uma fight rápida, e quem tem problemas de agir sob pressão acaba sofrendo. Simplesmente dark souls sendo incrível e melhor game que já joguei.

Discussion The "trauma" this game has left on me after 15 years is very funny.

67 Upvotes

I haven't played Dark Souls 1 since it came out. I found someone selling the trilogy on marketplace so I'm back in it.

Approaching a fog in the alleys of Undead Burg and my heart rate went up as I approached it. Hello Capra Demon and his two friends!

Sen's Fortress I suddenly had clammy hands and a sense of foreboding...

Giant boulders...

Flying bombs...

Seeing that treasure chest...

Running on the roof tops of Anor Londo and feeling like I need to be constantly dodge rolling because there's some BS I couldn't quite remember (until those arrows slammed into my face).

The list goes on.

It's like my past self is sending me fuzzy vague warnings near corners I haven't thought about for over a decade.

Just reflecting on nostalgia! It's fun being back in the doom and gloom of this world. Looking forward to finishing this up and eventually beating Dark Souls 2 (stopped playing it pretty quickly) and Dark Souls 3 (DS2 left such a bad taste I know I missed out on a banger).

Help Am I playing the game wrong?

12 Upvotes

I'm 10 hours into the game and I'm hard stuck on undead burg. I beat the Taurus demon and the armoured boar but past that I just get wrecked and if I go the other way downstairs instead of up to the Taurus bridge the mini boss gives me zero time to attack or heal because the second my dodge roll ends he attacks again. Am I missing any bonfires? Coming from Elden Ring it seems like a far fucking distance in any direction with no bonfire in sight...

Discussion What’s the general consensus on item duping on an SL1 run?

0 Upvotes

I just learned the soul dupe in dark souls remastered, and also learned that you can dupe items in demons souls too while watching a lobosjr sl1 run.

I was just wondering what you guys thought about using these glitches? Do you use them? If not, how come? Do you feel like it detracts too much from the difficulty and spirit of the level one run?

I’m almost done with a no pyro ds1 SL1 run and duped some souls to buy upgrade mats (that I would’ve farmed for anyways) and some utility items like firebombs and homeward bones as I hate having to farm for stuff.

Discussion Controversial Series Ranking

0 Upvotes

I figure this might be controversial but I think each game gets worse although introducing some cool things and quality of life improvements.

Dark Souls 1: Perfect combo of clunkiness and agility. Perfect interconnected world. The most memorable moments for me (first boss encounter, get lit up on the bridge, the Taurus demon, the Gargoyle fight, etc).

Dark Souls 2: It has cool open world, cool characters, and interesting mechanics.

Dark Souls 3: Impressive visuals, quality of life improvements like re-specing. The combat is too fluid though, the enemies too easy to stun-lock kill. too much endurance and I think spells are overpowered but maybe they always are?

Elden Ring: Interesting open world, interest alt-lore, some good quality of life improvements. Maybe could have used a randomizer for item placement for replays? I felt the game looked and played weird to me.

Obviously, one of them being the first you played could sway things. DS1 was my first, DS3 was my 2nd, then Elden Ring and then DS2 for full disclosure.
