General Dark Souls

@QuasarNova  
The threaded chain is quite good, and should do good damage.

@Meanlucario
 
… Dude, I meant the whip from dark souls
 
I know my threaded cane is good. Nobody disses that cane while I’m around!

@QuasarNova  
OK, I misread your original comment.

@QuasarNova  
oh. DS1 whip. That’s a Cool Hwhip. _{(even though I never did actually try it)}
 
@Meanlucario  
With a cleric? Are you the Meme buster?

a couple things that happened tonight
 
spook town central.
 

 
Fred Flinstone build.
 

 
and mild pain.
 

@toxicitzi
 
I never really understood how you could make a DPS race boss fight scary
 
Then I saw the four kings

@QuasarNova  
They’re cool and spooky.  
So long as you poise/dodge well and heal up, as well as are able to resist/run out of the aoe magic explosion.

@toxicitzi  
No, I just like to go heavy when using miracles. Also, Nameless is dead. I decided to log back on to make a chaos heavy mace to take him on, decided to try it out, and I won. Funny part is that his mount took me 4-5 tries, and him one. Dragon Slayer’s greatshield was better than I thought it was.

I hate Four Kings. Why? This is why.

@Meanlucario  
Well.. could you explain? Is it the low vit?
 
The reason I would be pissed about them are, the magic shenanigans, the grab and the sharp hook like curve, which can deal the full bladed damage of the sword at certain swings even if you’re hugging the 1/4 kings.
 
This one.
 

got through spook combs and spook tombs. beat the hardest boss in the game and Nito.
 
I think next will be Seathe, so I can get Sieglinde going.

@toxicitzi  
Not enough DPS, no poise, and no defence.
 
On a side note, are we ever going to do that thing in Blood?

@Meanlucario  
oh right, that thing.. wait, you’re not doing enough damage with 694 AR, which comes from 40 str and you don’t have enough poise/defense? I just gave it a check and you’ve got plenty to wear full havel’s, here’s a link. You have 97%, but you can still run while doing this and it should work, the biggest part of it is getting to the king’s face, afterwards you know what do. I know this can work, because I had a similar build to yours, although mine was on ng+2.

@toxicitzi  
I have the FAP ring, so I’m stick there, and that’s the chaos version. I’m using a +15 version, which I can’t hit enough due to its slow swing speed preventing me from getting enough hits in, and I’m barely mid-rolling as is.

@Meanlucario  
You don’t need to roll if you’re going poise and def.  
The only time you need to block/avoid something is when you’re not in the current king’s face, but as soon as you’re in his face, 2h that mf and hit it, because their swings do about 1/4 of their normal damage up close. Watch your health and stay on top of it, so no magic shenanigans get you killed.

So, what about that Bloodborne thing?

@Meanlucario
 
I have 1 insight so would have to wait until beating cleric to get the other bells

@QuasarNova  
That was the plan. Also, there should be two insights before Cleric.

@Meanlucario
 
Yeah I’ve only found one
 
…
 
Do I get insight from talking to Gascoigne’s daughter?

@QuasarNova  
No, but there is one on the way to her, guarded by crows.

@Meanlucario
 
Yeah that’s the one I got

@QuasarNova  
And there’s one near the saw spear’s drop location, guarded by rats.

@QuasarNova  
Also, do not buy the bell. You’ll need both insights to summon us both.

@Meanlucario
 
I haven’t used the insight so no worries there
