One shall stand, one shall ball.

That's the way to do it, really. Snipe three, leave the last one weak. Ya boy will be able to take it out before the poison becomes a problem.

You know, I think that's how I did it before. Something didn't feel right to me. I guess that's why I put a ring a sacrifice on first.

Oh well. At least I got that speckled ring. And one of the darkwraiths dropped me a slab, so.

I think there's something wrong with my game. I've been jumping into the hole in front of bed of chaos all evening long and when I land on the root I don't see anywhere I can go. This hasn't happened before. it was always obvious. Now, I land on the root and it leads nowhere. All you can do is jump off of it or wait for an aoe fore attack to kill you. It's like the place I'm supposed to go isn't loading or is invisible. I've been stuck on this for 2.5 hours now.

What do you mean by "leads nowhere"? You need to roll through the thicket of branches under the boss

Has the area directly before the boss caved in already?

you guys, I'm so stupid. I don't even want to tell you what the problem was.

This never happened. Erase it from your minds.

now I'm all the more curious!

Fine. When you jump on the root, there's a little tunnel looking area below that I thought I was supposed to get to. I thought the root was supposed to go all the way down to it. I didn't even think about running UP the root.

I died SO many times! So stupid.

well it's an easy mistake to make if you don't know where to go

I feel like a robot that just kept trying to fit a square peg into a round hole over and over, completely unable to think critically. Getting old sucks.

Erasing Bed of Chaos from your mind every time you beat it is probably more healthy

Nito keeps killing me. Never had a problem before :( I'm hardly making a dent

So much for getting priscilla's dagger. She disappeared and I kept waiting for her to reappear. Then I thought I must have to damage her to make her reappear. So I swung blindly, and made some hits. There was no visible health bar so I thought it wasn't damaging her. It was. She dies before she ever reappeared, and I was like SHIIIIIT !!

Got my pyro trophy :)

I also screwed Rhea's questline, again.

I think on NG+ I need to go to catacombs early, and do the whole kaathe thing in New Londo. It's gonna be weird.

I also accidentally killed Priscilla although I wanted the dagger.

On a goddamn dagger-only rogue character. :/

One shall stand, one shall ball.

The trick is to be a good boy and not fight Priscilla.

Serris

2017-05-14 06:33:51 am

The trick is to cut it off in one attack while she's not aggroed

Never done it any other way

I'll keep that in mind next time and try to figure out the best way to do it.
I'm actually wanting to Platinum the Souls games. I got wild hair up my ass to do this, I guess.
I killed Gwyn lastnight and wrote down the things I need to do in my next playthrough to get more trophies.

Now I'm going back to DS2 for NG+. I haven't actually started NG+ yet, just need to go around and buy some miracles, defeat darklurker and giant rat. The ones I need are the pyro, sorceriy, miracle, and hex trophies, as well as the lucatiel and benhart ones. Won't be able to get them all until NG++.

I get too bored with the games to just stick with one game for multiple playthroughs, so I have to go back and forth. It's a total mindf*ck though because switching between games feels so weird because of the differences. I also can't remember what weapons and armor I have, what's good and what isn't, etc. When you start a new game, you acquire things slowly and new items can be studied one at a time as you get them. But now I have this huge inventory and it's all alien to me because I can't remember crap.

Going back and forth has affected my opinion of the games because it forces me to compare more closely. Right now, I honestly feel like DS3 is the best of the series, even if I hate the NPC crap in that game. It's just more polished, and it feels like they really took the best of the first two games and went with it.

If you haven't grinded out the Bell covenant yet and are going to do that offline, you probably also want to do that on NG
