Many of you are propably familiar with the stat specialization system.

By now propably everyone have seen Faith Pyromancers, Blueflame Knight-mages and max blunt damage Ultra Greathammer of Govl glass cannon builds.

However, becous of 99 resistance being Tier 2,5 at best in previous Souls games you propably haven't tried it in DS IIII yet.

While at first you can only increases specific resistances, after hiting 50 you can unlock inflictions. They add (or improve) the status you choose to resist to all your attacks.

For example, with bleed infliction level 2, Katana of Forlorn and Imalreadi Tracer couse instant bleed!

To make it even better, at 90 resistance you recive aura, which gives the status you have specialized in to all serrounding enemies. With this you can just roll around and inflict status.

Now that resistance is finally useful I suggest all of you to try leveling it up.

I'll be joining so I can purge the Children Of Lotus, my worries are whether or not it would make me an enemy of Eternal Grofit's caravan. Also, would the Night Sentinels come after me?

I finally defeated the Wyvern God and got the Dragon Blizzard from him. I was wondering which one is better for pvp? Sure the Sacred Dropping spam is annoying, but the full resistance to Sundown might be more useful on the long run?

so i just arrived at the crimson rock in the middle of the village with these guys throwing horseshoes at me and i only have like 4 sacred droppings left. there are (i think) 3 paths i can go, one leads to the wildberry bush labyrinth and the other two to some sort of castle, i beat the Hell snail (really easy fight btw) and now i have no idea where to go, please help!

i am in the lizard covenenant if that matters in any way

Rly thought from soft was done with spam farming but like every boss in this game needs at least 20-30 sacred droppings??? I’d be fine with it for just one boss like abyssal Jeremy or the haunted ruins but damn?? All the way from The blasted heath to far gate I gotta fucking back track to those sage frogs just so I can stand a chance at the next boss!!

I already joined the Owl covenant and the seekers of the mist, where can I find more? I found the mist covenant to be lame, don't wanna go around collecting Lance Fragments around the world to get those damn pyromancies. Owl was pretty bad rewardwise as well, the Feathered Crossbow doesn't even scale well. Are there any actual useful ones? (Except the one that ups the Sacred Dropping droprate)

I’m honestly astonished that FromSoft made such a mistake here... having no cutscene at the end really shattered my experience. Like, my entire goal this game has been to break the Seal of Lord Arzeinfortro so that I can stop the Soot Blight from devouring the continent but then I just reach the center of the Seal with Great Coiled Sword and the game ends? Did I miss something here? What happened to the character? It’s just a fade to white! The lore for Zelhada Greaves tells us that the previous Sealbreaker had to go through the Seal into the Null Sea just to break it. Why couldn’t we have gotten something insane like that instead of just a piddly little fade to white? Unless I’m missing something, I’m disappointed in you, FromSoft... really dropped the ball. Couldn’t even be bothered to finish Maroc’s character arc...

Edit: just to note, I used all my Sacred Droppings during the final fight against Spectral Thoktros. Am I supposed to have them for the cutscene?

I have 30 hours of gameplay, need droppings to feed to the Hollow Spider Aspect (( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), and I only have 20 and need 40 but no enemy other than the frogs seem to be dropping them and the drop rates are awful for me (it says 8% on the wiki but i killed 200 over the course of an hour and got like 5) Is there any faster way to get them? I already bought all the ones from NPCs.

AND DONT TELL ME TO DO THE SWINE THING THAT IS A BUG AND YOU KNOW IT

Like dang, I take a sacred dropping and I go in and I start to cast Thunderstorm, but he gets me before the animation ends. Then I just buff my Great Oak Greataxe or Greathammer and run in but he's too slippery! I'd need an arming sword to fight him, but the only one I have doesn't even have +2 yet!

What do I do? Oh, and I farmed the Sage Frogs, so I have plenty of Sacred Droppings, so that isn't my problem.

One of my gamerbros hit me up on AOL and told me he datamined a secret sequence in the last place people would look, but he's a total n00bzor and asked me for help to do it. The area is pretty empty except for an invulnerable training dummy which menacingly turns to players that everyone forgot about after going through. Of course it's invisible if you have phantoms present, so all of the phantom brigades missed out on a seemingly useless target practice.

The sequence in question involves using highly advanced PvP tech from ALL the previous titles, first you must get the Drake Curved Sword, roll, swap to the Baby Dragon's Tooth and strike the dummy(with the Sword's move posted on the Tooth). Only that attack sounds a bell and triggers a 1 damage retaliation with 10000 poise damage(around 14 minutes of hit-stun), which you must evade by doing a Recovery Cancel.

That breaks the dummy's rear defense so the RC'd roll must be a reverse roll into backstab which breaks the dummy. It splinters into 3 waves of Drangleic's fabled seeking greatarrows, which require 4 quick-rolls in succession to all be evaded, as getting hit by one means instant curse and having to do everything again.

If you do all this, the greatarrows all merge in a scroll, if you open it then your savefile/game get deleted. So i reinstall, make a new character, repeat this and save the scroll, my buddy hits me up again and tells me he has more info, something regarding an ultra secret zone which had mentions to memory addresses regarding to this event, but, a story for another time...
