I don't think there's a spoiler or area I've seen yet that I don't like.

I can't wait to play for myself.

Do we know if the "final" boss (not counting secret endings) changes based on our playthrough / play style?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Leaking sun is in.

Need webm asap!

 

[Easy_D]

Leaking sun is in.

Sure you're not thinking of the Eclipsed Sun /Darksign Sun?

Nope. Firelink Shrine is still there. There are two Firelink Shrine: the illusion (where every NPC is), and the real one.

I meant the illusion . Or are they two different areas that you can visit?

 

[Klyka]

So Firelink Shrine is an illusion just like Hunter's dream was in Bloodborne, the real Firelink Shrine is in ruin,in dark, everyone is dead, even Andre, there's only the ds2 woman selling Artorias set.

woah where can I see this?

so the DS2 woman is the old lady?

It starts leaking red shit at the end.

Does Artorias show up?

 

[Mifec]

No, abyss watchers fight is a better Artorias though.

 

[comshoplesce]

Can i ask here?

How long is appx?

When do you get your white sign etc for summoning help?

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Yo is piggy back bros last boss?

 

[Easy_D]

Yo is piggy back bros last boss?

Nope

 

[Vic_Viper]

How viable is a Dex based build this time around with a weapon like the Uchihatana for instance? Also does someone have a video showing off its weapon/battle art?

Is artorias' armor set in game?

Uchi Weapon art is a sheathe motion, which allows you to parry with more frames and do some moves out of it.

Yes.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Bleh no credits if you don't ng+, but yea Erm what story

There's three for me, one behind mini sea th, the last one and the first one

 

[idonteven]

where do i go after beating yhorm,abbys watchers and aldreich or whatever the name is

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Secret ending could be triggered by attacking ?gwyndolin? When he visits fire link

 

[Jombie]

where do i go after beating yhorm,abbys watchers and aldreich or whatever the name is

How are you liking it? How does it stack up?

 

[K.Sabot]

The music is a step above the other games imo. Just from what I've heard so far.

 

[idonteven]

How are you liking it? How does it stack up?

i really like it,but now i am stuck not knowing where to go and getting items and not knowing japanese is not helping

 

[ScribbleD]

I'm about 6 bosses in, and so far I've seen a lot of bonfires, and not many shortcuts. Individual areas are still sprawling and fairly well designed, but I'm aching for some of the interconnected metroidvania feelings I got from Dark Souls 1, or at least some more shortcut porn. Does it get better in that regard?

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Been to the church yet? I have only found the abyss watchers and deacon of the deep.

 

[M0nochromatic]

I haven't seen any Lightning weaponry yet. I've seen some healing miracles and pine resin, but no Lightning Spears, Sunlight Blades, or Boss Soul weapons with inherent lightning damage.

Does anyone have any video, gifs, webms, pics?

 

[DorkLord54]

Has anyone tried to save their LoC remains until they get to the Untended Graves and see if they can set the remains there? Maybe that'll trigger the third ending?

Also, speaking of the Untended Graves, the real Gundyr is a helluva more brutal boss fight than the tutorial one.

Is there any videos of the Untended Graves, or how you even get there?

It's accessed through an illusory wall behind the door that is in the Oceiros boss room once you beat him. It leads to the Champion Gundyr fight (who is a reskin, but a far more brutal and unforgiving one is his second phase, as he becomes super aggressive instead of turning into that weird dark thing) that sends you to Firelink. Only the hag is there, and she sells Artorias' set. Also, as this vid shows, for anyone who doesn't know, Lautrec's set is in the game.

Gundyr fight and the real Firelink.

 

[Lakitu]

Is Untended Graves the only optional area?

Nice Dark Souls 2 reference with the Dead Giant tree and a seed of giants.

"Nary a peep of the bell" she says. What. Is there some time fuckery going on?

 

[DorkLord54]

Archdragon Peak is the other. Both require you to beat Oceiros to get to them, as you have to get the emote behind the door as well to access it, IIRC.

Furthest along stream.

This second boss phase seems hard as butt.

Wth?

That music is gorgeous.

Straight out of Kingdom Hearts, lol

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Not really a spoiler question, but how's the character creator compared to Bloodborne?

Yes.

Hell yes! The Katana looks so good. That's exactly what I wanted to know, thank you. Going full Dex first play through.

Wait, Lautrec's armor is in the game? :O

 

[Jombie]

So, why are there two Firelinks?

You need an emote?

Would have been quite mindblowing if DSIII had pulled an 'A Link To The Past' and had a whole another Dark World that was just as big as the real one with all sorts of brutal enemies and slightly altered locations. "The real Dark Souls starts here"

 

[vilmer_]

It just keeps getting better and better.

Best area in the series for me

just wondering since I don't know ds builds, when you say fill dex will you not put any points into str?

 

[LucidMomentum]

Most weapons scale off of Dex and Strength, but some more based off one stat than the other.

So, going for a Dex build means you're putting more priority on those weapons.

 

[funkystudent]

So.... anyone from DS2 make it into this game?

And does it have a shitty swamp area like the other games? It kind of has to I guess. Tradition.

Gilligan's body is found, there is a Nashandra painting and i'm 95% sure the old lady in FS is either one of the firekeepers from Things Betwixt or maybe Shanalotte herself.

 

[Nivert]

Does the DS2 tree do anything?

 

[Easy_D]

It gives you a Seed of a Tree of Giants

 

[Nivert]

Ah makes sense thanks!

 

[convo]

I haven't seen all the bosses yet but mother of god

My feelings on The Nameless King

 

[B-Genius]

Btw is there a set that looks similar to Vendrick's? Other than the Llewellyn set I mean.

I don't know, to be honest.

Is there really a 'secret' final boss?

Don't think so.

Soul of Cinder

It's interesting, the Japanese name is 王たちの化身 (ou tachi no keshin), which literally translates to something like "The Lords Incarnate".
I really like the English name, as it encompasses all that - every lord that's linked the flame - while also giving a nod to old G himself.

Man, the rate this thread is going is crazy. I really hope people don't stumble in here by accident...

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

So is there still the sun melting like in the "leak" screenshots?
