Gameplay tips and progression |
you will have to start new game to get soulsucker from black maiden ( dont kill her ) get Foe ring before new game killing Mephistopheles will give you the gold mask / epee rapier and parrying dagger. |
Mephistopheles
In NG+I pumped up end to 40 and vit to 50
the key is to use parrying dagger in left hand L2 to parry and R1 combo. usually 1 hit kills in NG+
I thought about doing this exact thing a few days ago. It seems like a solid build too. I just think you should add in the description somewhere, maybe the recommended class as female royalty, seeing as the rogue clothes and gold mask are only able to be worn by female characters.
The best way to proceed is to obtain The Crescent Falchion +1 in 4-1
After that the game is easy since the weapon is pretty powerful.
But you best bet is to finish world 3 since that will give you access to more powerful spells .
Note: the only shield you can use is your starting buckler .
and a short bow ( not compound ) this is due to low str.
One weapon you will find in 3-1 is called the estoc . I upgraded this to crescent and tossed the falchion
Doing about 1500 damage using parry . basically one hit kills if you pull it off.
You might want to add 16 faith to build to get second chance if you pvp you might need it . Also vitality is needed .. endurance isnt really needed unless you want heavy armor ,
more magic more damage.
lol i invaded the same guy twice in a row , after he came at me first time flaying away I riposte him and got the1 shot kill the second time he has shield up backing away .. and started using soul arrow .. bad idea he ate fire storm .
Anyway I forgot to mention that in pve this character can be unforgiving , if you miss a parry you get punished . Sometimes its easier just to use soul arrow to mow through the hard stuff . This build is good mage
I decided to try out this build, and I've had a lot of fun with it! I've actually capped at SL 22, and you ARE going to have an easy time in PVP at this SL. I've swapped out the epee rapier +5 with crescent estoc +5, and pretty much kicks ass with it. I've also upgraded the parrying dagger to mercury +5 for some additional poison damage (otherwise I would'nt really use the dagger's attack). I'm also starting to get the hang of parrying and riposite, however I have a question for this in PvP: Sometimes when I try to parry the enemy in the middle of the combo, I do get the "noise" that you get when doing a succesfull parry (that "swosh" noise thing), however they keep on doing their combo and I keep on losing HP. Perhaps it is because I don't press R1 automatically after the parry? I tend to wait and see whether my parry is succesful or not before I try the riposite…
I'm also considering to put a couple of points in Vitality and maybe pump it up to 20, as I tend to die a little quick sometimes (with 8 vitality that ain't really a big surprise, is it?). However, I'm not sure if it would be worth it as my range would increase from around 20-35 to 35-50, which is a pretty big difference.
you could put some in faith and use 2nd chance maybe ?
Yeah, that'd be better actually. Think I'm gonna try that, and perhaps add a couple of points to vitality as well. Thanks!
good idea, i really like it :) i would consider increasing MAG for more damage. This build seems like it would play well in the SL 60-90 range too if properly designed, perhaps you could list your ideas for that setup?
just add more vitality / endurance and magic
50 vit
40 end
50 magic
