If a Slenderman falls in the forest, does anyone care?

"The fire fades. The Lord go without thrones. The Link of Fire is threatened. The bells toll. The Unkindled will rise."

...Is the plot of the greatest video game being played in Equestria. Some ponies play it too much. This is that story.

Don't be sorry. You're doing Celestia's work.

Wow well looking forward to these 6 to beat me hehehehehehhe (Nice story btw)

Awesome. Just awesome. However, reading this story distracted me from playing Dark Souls 3. Time to go.

7128877
Good luck! I'm taking a break for the moment. I just lost 50,000 souls and need to process it.

“Alright, I’ve now beaten Dark Souls 3 for the third time,” Celestia muttered to herself. “Time for a no-Estrus, no-bonfire run barehanded.”

LobosJR confirmed for Celestia. Watching that man work is magic. I've barely slept in two days, but the Cathedral calls.

P.S. Anyone else having FPS issues on PC? My rig should run it fine, but it chugs at ~25 like it hates me.

7129368
I must see this man. And to answer your question, I do get the occasional slowdown even on a rig that should run Dark Souls perfectly, but it's just the odd stutter.

7129189
Happened to me twice. But those were 20000 and about 43000. That's when I decided to invade people for fun. Hehehe...

7129394 Oh ho, you don't know about Lobos?! He's a streamer who got famous doing Dark Souls challenge runs. SL1, fist only NG+7, that sort of thing. He plays a ton of other things, too. Most of it ends up on his YouTube channel for posterity. His playlist is long and mighty.

I get the save-stutter, too. Dark Souls PC launches have never been creamy so I guess I just have to wait it out.

7129566
I will learn from this player, and make his techniques my own if I can. I probably can't, so I'll just admire him.

All things being equal I can forgive that and even when my camera goes wonky on me. But it's my keyboard deciding to go forwards AT RANDOM that's been driving me insane, as well as the fact that I can't double-click to power attack. I just can't Shift + Click, so I'm running through the game with light attacks. Good thing I like sorceries...

7129554
I tried it, and kept running into a 3-person gank team. They had what seemed like a thousand Estrus Flasks and wrecked me and another phantom. I'm just not built for PVP, both mentally or with my character.

7129685
Neither am I and I had the same thing. Almost always three people. But the fun thing is that you invade near boss doors and make them use their estus on you so the boss is harder. Even if I don't win, I get something.

7129685 I've captured a few of his Speed-run strats for DS2. Makes the early game a bit more interesting.

And wow, keyboard and mouse? You're braver than I am. I run my PS3 controller for all my PC games. The Scarlet Controller driver is amazing.

I mean, sure, sometimes maybe I’d summon one or two to deal with hard guys like Boreal Valley Vordt, or get me through a level but—”

You are garbage, Rainbow Dash, your cutie mark should be replaced with a picture of DSP's face.

7129957
To reply and beat a beat a dead horse (in the true nature of Dark Souls), I never grew up with controllers, so even if a keyboard is wonky it's what I have to use.

But you know what's really funny? Really funny? Turns out I FORGOT about Undead Bone Shards and somehow ignored them when they were in my inventory. I beat 3 out of the 4 Lords using upgraded Estrus Flasks.

And it gets better! I somehow connected summoning to our hollowing level and forgot about embers. Which means that aside from one boss -- Pontiff Sulyvahn, I soloed everything. Including Yhorm without knowing how to trigger that stupid special attack on a keyboard.

To top it off, I played sorcerer since it was my favorite build back in DS2, but I never found the magic teacher until right before fighting both Yhorm and Aldritch.

I discovered all this after I finally broke down and looked at the wiki. I lost my mind, restarted, cheesed the Dancer and am now running around as a generic Knight.

I'm out. Once X-Com 2 goes on sale I'm going to buy it and play it for a more fair, and enjoyable game. Yet I'm still playing Dark Souls as we speak.

I...I just needed to share this.

“Come on,” Pinkie said. “Let’s all go start new characters and play together! I bet you we can take down High Lord Wolnir in two hours if we summon each other!”

:ajbemused:They're calling Rainbow Dash a scrub but they're having problems with Wolnir. I beat him on my second try, by myself.
7129189
7129554 Try 137492 souls just after beating that douchebag Pontiff Sulyvahn. Lost them to those fucking crocodile wolf things behind the hidden wall after Sulyvahn. Getting invaded before and after that by Aldrich Faithful phantoms didn't help the matter.

7136716
Damn, that's rough.

Hidden wall?:rainbowderp: Gotta back through that area.

7138046 Yeah, after the Sulyvahn bonfire head out across the courtyard with those giants and those mages shooting fire at you and go into the tower that leads up to the crosswalks with the archer Silver Knights. Once inside, stay at the base and the far left wall should be an illusion. Melee it and you'll find a ladder leading down into a flooded room. It's where you find the Aldrich Faithful covenant. But there's a problem. Remember how when you first enter Irithyll, you cross the bridge and that giant wolf thing pops up behind you? Yeah well, there's two of them in there and they always agro at the same time. Those things could be a boss in themselves.

7138141
Will head there after I explore the area after Dancer. Thanks.

7139134 Good luck, you're going to need it.

7139376
Oh dear God. Why?! Why would they do this?!:twilightoops:

7139561 Like I said, I'm having more trouble with them than any boss I've fought up to this point. And I'm in Lothric castle right now. And the funny thing is you don't get anything useful from doing that. All of that is just so you can join an invasion covenant.

7140564
I thinks it's a matter of principle now. Proff that we can do it regardless of the reward. It is for me anyway.

This is perfection :pinkiegasp:

...

Sounds about right.

Is fighting a Bugbear really harder than dodging three Abyss Watchers at once?”

..wait what? Doesn't Shy know the third watcher (with glowing eyes) also attacks the other watchers? She sure talks big, but her actual skills...

estrus flask

That sneaky horse pun.

I bet spike's playing Dwarf Fortress right now...

it is such a sham this how real gamers act

also they are both a bunch of filthy casuals bloodborne is the real game to play

7138141 Actually, they don't aggro at the same time. if you walk in slowly the one on the left, which is closer to you, will aggro first. Also they are ridiculously vulnerable to spells flung at their faces. I killed the one on the bridge in two hits after knocking it into critical hit mode with a single Hurl Boulder that caught it in the mouth while it was charging at me.

Chaos Bed Vestiges is even better as it has a much longer effective range.
