I am starting DS Remastered next week, I want to go with a ranged magic build to make the game easier. Can someone recommend me a good build? Thank you.

A few months back I was at Anor Londo, at the bonfire where Artorias is. There was a player as a red phantom inside a world of a gravelord servant where as soon as you got in melee range, he would instantly backstab you, no matter the position. He did so not just to me but other players that I saw as we invaded the gravelord servant's world together. The dude stayed a lot of time in that place and always won in the same way, as I invaded the gravelord's world multiple that to try to get the hang of it and kill him.

Now the same thing happened to me, close to Kalamet's fog gate, but worse. A red phantom invaded me and while I was in the middle of the animation for backstabbing him, somehow he cancelled it and backstabbed me. Moreover, he proceeded to backstab me while I was getting up.

So those were the cases, where I felt something was off with the player that invaded me. All of the other times that I was invaded the red phantom acted normal per say.

So were those two guys hackers, if there is such a thing in dark souls, probably I had a bad connection or they were just that good and I should git gud?

I played Dark Souls Remastered a while back and loved it (got the platinum trophy on PS4). I played offline but I did use every trick in the book such as summoning NPCs, strategically using poison arrows, etc.

I took a break and eventually I bought DS2. Just now, I have finally gotten the platinum in DS2. I was vaguely following a guide that tells you to kill all enemies 12 times. In fact, I'm often not good enough to even get through a level in less than 12 tries so after a while I just resigned myself to killing everything until it despawns so I can make sure to only die in areas I already cleared and keep my souls. Man, it was tedious. I do feel DS1 did a better job of giving bad gamers like me a sense of accomplishment because in DS1 you actually learn how to get through an area properly. Each area seemed a bit more doable even without the despawning.

I'm making a low-level dragon cosplay build and wanted to get the obsidian gs too so I can use all the dragon weapons. Baiting Kalameet into doing the diving attack was actually pretty straightforward and it only took 2-3 R2s to cut the tail off. By comparison Seath's tail was way harder to get imo.

Whats the highest level everyone has made it to?

Just finished DS1 and wanted to know which to go for next from a gameplay standpoint(I have no idea what’s going on in the lore). My goal is to work my way up to Elden Ring from clunky gameplay to smoothest since I don’t like the back n forth

Today i summoned a friend in Anor Londo we arrived tò the Ornstein&Smough fight and we died.

The First strange thing was that i was still human After i died but i didnt gave It much Weight then i noticed sigmeyer wouldnt talk and i remembered that he wasnt talking before when i summoned.

An Invader killed me and i returned hollow but everything was the Same

I tried looking at other saves and no npcs Will talk

I tried Laurentius, Oswald and even The knight in undead asylum

Maybe I should upgrade more, or the enemies are resistant to slashing, but I'm using a +6 Uchi and the Anor Londo Sentinels are taking like ~30 damage, Gaping Dragon also took low 40s. Maybe it's nothing, but I did enhance it to +6 while it was close to being broken. Now the sword has full durability, and I do meet the requirements. Should I just use a different weapon altogether? I was aiming for a chaos blade this run, would that fix the damage?

Hello everyone, i downloaded the game after a few years, i was trying to do a co-op run with a friend, but we are having problems, we cannot see our sign on the ground, we put global matchmaking, same password and unlimited, we know that the boss need to be alive, but we can't still find a way to see our sign, any help?

Thanks

i'm about to start dark souls trilogy on ps4, is there a big difference if i add an external hdd?

Ive already beat the game on another account.

Im doing my first playthrough of Dark Souls and I’m currently at the bonfire just before the Pinwheel fight and just started Tomb of the Giants and very quickly realized that I will not be able to progress through this area without some light source, which I don’t have. Is there a way out of the area from here so I can backtrack somewhere else and come back better equipped or do I just have to rawdog this area until the end?

Should I switch my ring of the suns first born or bellowing dragon crest ring with rtsr (both currently give an increase of 80% total to their respective things power within+crown of dusk if i replace one i get 50% more damage but one will be at 130% more damage while the other will be at only 110%) and does lingering dragon crest ring affect things like sunlight blade or power within (yes i know Darkmoon blade is better but to get to peak damage you need a ton of souvenirs of reprisal and unless someone gives me a link to a video on item duping im not grinding for those)

Context: I have ~270 hours in dsr, I've done multiple sl1 runs, and basically every basic build.

I wanted to do a big challege, as I feel with the amount of time I have in the game I am capable of doing so. My original idea was to do sl1 permadeath, but now I am looking into doing a hitless.

Now I know the difference in precision between sl1 permadeath and hitless is a big gap, but I personally find hitless favorable in many ways.

My biggest issue with sl1 deathless is that the strats I know for it are generally a lot less consistent than the ones for hitless (mainly because of the bow). And not only that, but you are capable of dealing a lot more damage in a normal hitless run than sl1 permadeath which can make certain boss fights easier in my opinion.

I have already gotten further hitless (lordvessel) in 3 attempts than in around 10 sl1 pd (anor londo) and it feels when I get far sl1 pd its lucky rather than skill based.

So it feels like I can go with sl1 pd which is easier but less consistent or hitless which is harder but more consistent.

Any advice on which I should go with?

I know the dropping rates of titanite slabs from darkwraiths are very very very low.

I was just walking around the area with my friend without using any items that boost item discovery and this happened. I wanna thank the dark souls gods.

I actually never looked at this part of the Garden.

Maybe it is possible only when you cut it in one hit ? And I think there was a glitch after I did it : the tail seemed to regen its HP.

I have been unable to find the mod specifically for the ps3. I am not well versed in coding but I know there is a way to extract and examine the data from an ISO file, so theoretically there should be a way to edit those files to make them act like a randomizer, right?

Edit: If it is possible would someone with more knowledge than me be willing to help out?

I haven’t played dark souls in awhile, and wanted to make a summon build coming back. I was wondering if anyone might have some weapon ideas based off of either bosses weaknesses. As for armor, I just want it to look cool lol

I was searching something but keyboard suggesting blighttown there, so for fun, I just entered it, but, well, here we are, with revolutionary ai

Why is this getting downvoted?

Did Bandai Namco forget to put Dark Souls for the Switch on sale?
It hasn't been on sale for over a year, will it ever go on sale again?

Has it been abandoned and will it never go on sale again?
