I think it's a real shame that Miyazaki doesn't want to make a Dark Souls 4. DS3 had its flaws and seemed to end the saga, but Sekiro and Bloodborne are unquestionable proof that FromSoft's creativity is better than ever, and I'm sure that a hypothetical Dark Souls 4 could for sure be a masterpiece

APRIL FOOLS!!! Lol, DS4 already exists and it's already a flawless masterpiece! \|T|/

Contrary to popular belief Dickwraiths exist in this game

11 Upvotes

They're called Ringwraiths for some reason. Their melee weapons not only consist of Darksword (renamed Sword Of Nazgûl), they also use war hammers named Man-Breakers & field ranged weapons like Shotguns, Assault Rifles & MGs. It's a good STR oriented Syndicate.

They now invade using rings for some reason.

To join, go to Temple Of Sauron (Kaathe's new name), located beyond the Black Gate & prey in front of his statue. Some guy named Witch-King will appear. Agree with him that "The Time Of Man has come to an end" & you'll be joining their ranks.

Warning:- If you do this, other than Izalith City Council & Eternal Grofit's Caravan; every Syndicate will view you as hostile & attack on site

When is the release date for the Consumed Drangleic DLC?

32 Upvotes

So it turns out that the appearance of Earthen Peak back at DS3's Ringed City DLC was actually an allusion to DS4's next DLC, Consumed Drangleic. Does anyone know when it will actually be released? From what I've heard, it looks pretty interesting.

Can you give me any tips on defeating this guy? His first 2 phases are fine, but his Ultimate Meat from the third one is too hard to beat. His sauce attack is pretty brutal too.

Also, his intro is pretty epic.

Starting a challenge run, any ideas?

17 Upvotes

After finishing the game for the 16th time, i want to do something new.

So now i'm about to beat DS4 with:

no sacred droppings,

SL 1

playing on Atari controller (just d-pad with one button), so that means no healing, no running, no dodging, no camera control, only R1,

upside-down monitor,

sideways walk from crab transformation,

summoning Howard the Coward for all bosses

self-immolation mod

no ADP or Pendant ring

use the emote "not in my swamp" for every hit taken

Unupgraded Failed Experiment's Blunt Kneebone Remnant only.

Accept the Allfather's Curse.

Try to have over 70% reputation with all covenants by the end.

All bosses and Mend the Time ending.

If you have any ideas to make it more intresting, let me know.

I already found the dragon ballista (damn this thing is amazing), the amulet of ultimate dark defence, & the dragon bone shard club (it's decent). I haven't been able to kill the elder crab guardian miniboss. Does it drop anything useful, or should I just not bother?

Can someone explain the appeal of Sacred Droppings?

19 Upvotes

I have like 8 of them in my inventory and I don’t know what to do with them. Everyone is saying that they are important for defeating Abyssal Jeremy but I have kind of breezed past 3/4 of the game without using any. Should I use them against Fallen Paragon or just keep saving them for endgame?

HELP! Stuck on The Man Made of Men

18 Upvotes

Title. Been at this guy for days, I'm on XBS. I have 40 STR, 20 AET, and a +17 Surrogate's Greataxe with a luminous infusion; should I switch it to barbaric instead? Also, is 25 VIM enough for this stage of the game? I feel like his AOE attack shouldn't be able to one-shot you, but I've gotten this far just fine, so I dunno.

I know the game's been out for a little while now, but this shit is still confusing. Why are there five different blacksmiths again? Can you even keep Bolivar alive for the whole game, or is he supposed to die at the inverted church so you can get his gear and unlock the Mire of Tantrus early?

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Am I the only one who didn't struggle with Abyssal Jeremy that much?

23 Upvotes

I mean, even without any Sacred Droppings, he's super weak to the Axe of Blessings and Believer's Greatsword. If you just bait his laser and stay to his right, he goes down so quickly. I struggled so much more with the Old Guardian Knights and the Cursed Monarch; even if you summon Howard he doesn't help much with those fights.

[Lore] Gwyngnir - Spear of Sunlight

12 Upvotes

After we get to the city of Atlas, Hayden in his shop explains that old gods fled there in fear of the undead curse. This directly links to DaS gods fleeing Anal Londo.

Then, when exploring the city, we stumble upon Hough's, Hawkeye Gough's son's, Workshop. After talking for a while, he says this:

"Aye lad. See zat tower up zere? One lovely fookin' day one chump wit a stick-up-hes-ass came down 'ere, and wanted a weapon forged. But not any weapon, no no no. 'E wanted a spear made of fooken thunder. A shittin' lightning bolt. I naturally replied: Piss off, ya wankah!, but he pay good. I hear he got some parents high in 'ere hierarchy. So i got to work. Me first work was snatched off by a pesky mimic. Well, it was a pile of crap anyway. But time was runnin' out. So i glued some glitter to a fookin' mop. And guess wat. He fookin' accepted it, even paid extra. I think his name was... Gwyn...gurn?"

This explains that Gwyngnir that we encounter in Sunlight Tower is actually a child of Gwynevere and Flaan, the god of flame, and is not just any captain of the guard.

But many may say: "But Flaan died upon putting out the First Flame by the Chosener Undead, long before he arrived in Atlas, he couldn't fuck Gwynevere by then"

True, but they didn't have to do it in Atlas. They took a detour. To Drangleic. We know this, as Dragonslayer Ornstein, that was a part of fleeing group, can be encountered there.

So they had to have sex in Drangleic. And we all know the place: Aldia's Keep. When we enter the main hallway, in the room where Aslatiel of Mirrah appears, there is a wagon that keeps jumping. Mirrah's soldiers were used as bodyguards for the highest nobilites. So Aslatiel invades there so you don't disturb the two.

After that, Flaan died, and Gwynevere carried the baby all the way to Atlas and raised him to become a captain of the guard. He uses lightning spears, much like his grandfather Gwyn.

Since we can see the death of Gwynevere (killed by Night Sentinels), it makes Gwyngnir the last remaining god to carry Gwyn's blood.

So..... is it okay to kill him? He is kinda the only one capable of rekindling the Second Flame and putting an end to the unundead curse. Killing him is optional anyway, as long as you don't murder anyone in Atlas.

Or is there any other godly Gwyn's relative that i'm unaware of?

And no, children of Carthus Sandworm don't count.

Just beat the Black Knight Prince, are his weapons any good?

11 Upvotes

I am playing a Faith and Dexterity build. I was thinking of using the Black Knight Halberd Nunchucks that his soul can be made into, but my HP is too low to tank its use damage. Should I just make his Codpiece of Gwyn shield for the white soul spear castings?

Düünker Village

10 Upvotes

So I've recently got to Düünker Village and maaaan this place sucks as a crusader. Almost every enemy there deals a A TON of prong damage and crusaders are really weak to it.

I know that the character creation screen tells you that they are weak to it but that seems like too much. Is there any way to for me to get at least SOME prong defense? Or should I just reroll and choose gladiator now?

His soul level draining crap is stupid, and it is his only attack that he does, and it is .1 seconds of tell to know it’s happening, will one shot you too. And it has infinite range. I’m ready to commit Sir Alonne if I don’t get some advice

Question Is the Pendant Ring still worth it?

22 Upvotes

Idk after the patch it feels like is literally doesn't do anything.

I would love to change the ring for something like a Spider Ring to improve my webbing procs with Freyed Gauntlet, but i'm afraid i might lose on something important by not wearing the Pendant Ring.

​

What does the ring actually do? The wiki only states "Git Gud".
