And the fact that theres a whole area locked behind an emote and a secret wall. And another, even bigger area hidden behind a hidden ladder, an illusionary wall, and then a catacomb.
@brianmcfall5926Ай бұрын
Hold up what ladder and catacomb
@TubularBellsRequiem6531Ай бұрын
@brianmcfall5926 there's a ladder in Shadows keep that leads to a room with a painting, and there's an illusionary wall to the right that leads to a big area, which then can lead to a catacomb, and at the end of the catacomb is a huge area above the jagged peak place on the map. For the ladder, you have to start at the first floor specimen storehouse site of grace, backtrack down the elevator, and head to the left after the fire knight. Stick to the left edge, and there will be a ladder on the edge that will lead down to a waterfall. You'll be on a small almost sidewalk type area by a body of water, and you just follow that until you find another room with a ladder, it will also be to the left. Go down the ladder, and then you'll be in a small room with a painting. Hit the right wall because part of it is illusionary, and then you'll enter into this watery area with a few furnace golems. Just continue down this area and you'll reach some gravestones yoy can jump down. This will eventually lead you to the darklight catacombs, and upon beating the boss at the end you'll find the Abyssal Woods area. Happy hunting

Shackle works like that because it’s a huge invisible “hit”. Works the same against illusory walls! If you’re ever unsure about them just use a shackle in the middle of the dungeon, it’ll open up every invisible wall since they’re technically being “hit” by the shackle. It’ll also force those rolling chariots to run into each other for some reason?There’s a bunch of uses for the shackles they’re so cool

While i agree that any build is viable in the dlc. I personally think powerstancing katanas is pretty hard to use against most enemies. It doesn't have a lot of stagger pontenial compared to most weapons which makes it harder to fight when most of the new enemies you face specifically the fire knights have massive amounts of poise.

@raidear_officialАй бұрын
Buddy, the whole idea of what should I take into the DLC is pretty obvious. I mean, pure strength is objectively the best build you can do. in the beginning, when the game first came out, Mages were very much overpowered and therefore was the best build, but now, ever since the Mages got heavily nerfed year after year is no longer the case. statistically, a pure strength build with a good weapon can make your entire game feel like you're an easy mode. Don't get cocky though because the game is still a Dark Souls game. however, if you want to go into the DLC with ease, make sure you take a strength build for your first run so you don't get rocked as easily even with no fragments.
