Dark Souls PvP: 10 Tips For Beginners

[@arnavkalgutkar6169]

In b4 the remaster drops

[@Leosucksatgames125]

"Remaster"

[@torpid]

@@Leosucksatgames125 reeeemaster

[@torpid]

Eeee

[@ThisGoose]

I thought I was getting good at this game. Then I tried PvP.

[@AS7up]

you're just like me I mean you just feel like you're shit again

[@AcasualGamer1]

You will get there inevitably if you don't rage quit. Then, the game will be really awesome. Keep at it.

[@AS7up]

+A casual Gamer yep I tried and made another character and got good at pvp man I feel awesome again 😂

[@AcasualGamer1]

+AhmadDodgeball Good. Keep it up cause that will keep the multiplayer alive for longer

[@UrbanCohort]

I like PVP but I'm too much of a Sunbro build to actually engage in it :x And I'm too 'honorabru' to ever 2v1 someone.

[@VermillionMonk]

These are all useful tips if you don't play in Australia and don't have to simultaneously predict your opponents moves 2 seconds into the future as well worrying about getting backstabbed where you were standing 4 seconds ago.

[@MrThebronymaster]

So excited for DS:R just for the PvP and community to be back again

[@Ropewatch]

Turkey Warrior i have a question! Can people with the old dark Souls play with the new ones?

[@MrThebronymaster]

If you are talking about people with the original to the remaster then no. But if you're talking about if you played 1 you could jump into 3, might take a while to get used to it

[@riccardoocchipinti1080]

Dude I moved from Rome to Perth and everytime I get invaded I'm fucking monkaS. It's impossible to play online here ... And I even have a good connection for Australian standards

[@j.k.59]

"The important thing is having fun, so just relax!" [stabs a guy through the heart]

[@hugofontes5708]

just tried PvP for fun as a forest hunter guy walks _through_ me and backstabs then smashes my spine with Havel's club. lots of fun, do want to try again but with a more _solid_ character

[@CynfarLP]

MMO Combat should be more like this, instead of stupid ability spamming and winning through the better build, instead of Skill

[@UrbanCohort]

Depends on the game and the end-user :) I enjoy games like DS and Chivalry as much as, say...WoW or SWTOR.

[@blackdragonkalameet3844]

Cynfar lag won't allow for it

[@jacob.g.l1592]

Urban Cohort Like DS and Chivalry can be compared.

[@jayydudley5897]

Thats what i always say but people never give ds a chance because they dont wanna learn techs

[@ethanbethan6151]

Some guy on PvP kicked my ass. He then joined my game and beat Ornstein and Smough for me. Well, jokes on me because I learned nothing and now I have to kill them on NG+ without Xbox Live.

[@SuperSecretAgentNein]

You might've figured this one out already but you can still occasionally summon npc blue phantoms, in this case Solaire. He's helpful if only for keeping one of those two assholes occupied.

[@Stryfe52]

SeraWasNever Damn, for me Solaire fucking died to Ornstein and I had to face buffed Ornstein by myself

[@lightbrand_]

yeah I think summoning is too powerful in dark souls, just as an example bell gargoyles get obliterated by solaire, while on my first playthrough where I never summoned anyone I was the one getting obliterated, as they proceeded to be the hardest boss in my entire playthrough

[@FurthestBen]

One piece of advise i have: Learn to wake-up parry, I've gotten so many people with this that try to wake-up hit me with a weapon. Wake-up parry is basically when you get hit on the floor by a large weapon, parry or backstab...but instead of rolling away as soon as you get back up, look at them and hit parry as soon as you get up. You'd be surprised how many people you'll parry with this. I've won fights that I should of lost this way because someone tried to wake-up hit me. (If they bring out a pyro-flame, catalyst or talisman though....roll away!)

[@feuggstrix]

What if you wanna heal doe

[@FurthestBen]

um...if you are on low health in a duel, don't heal at all. If you are in a normal invasion, make sure it's safe to heal before doing so.

[@sagoo1346]

FurthestBen I always jump attack to wake-up hit people. If your opponent is smart, that's what they'll do.

[@FurthestBen]

stereotypicalpenguin Most ain't so I do it anyway.

[@videogamefreak429]

thanks for making this video so i can watch it 5 years later as a noob for the remaster

[@ch33zyburrito36]

How come you always get put against people with low armor? Every time I get invaded its some dude with all Havels and a katana of some sort.

[@JUIIICED.]

Not in the township. Where do you pvp, and what system?

[@JaggerIsBurritos]

+Supah I actually ran into a havel chest, dusk crown, dwgr, dark magic spamming sorcerer before in the township, which is by far my worst township encounter.

[@cynical8330]

HammerMC Chris O'neil 4/20

[@simple_most788]

i found my worst encounter like today he was a havelmage that would point down at me every time, almost killed him and he used a divine blessing (and then pointed down) and then he started black crystalinv away?????? (obvs japanese)

[@irocc]

Elite Knight armor, grass crest, baller swag sword, and a lightning washing pole r1 spammer is nothing less than a bucket of disease.

[@austriab1]

8:37 If I didn't know any better, I could swear this was a shadow of Yharnam cosplay. I hope they had a fun time when Bloodborne came out.

[@cdurkinz]

+Hollow Marthon Well the video was published in 2013 quite a bit before we saw all of the mobs for BB.... I've seen so many fashion souls' builds that I would say it's probably just a coincidence. Bloodborne is good fun though, haha.

[@sethb023ify]

Used your video for the first time in almost 5 years as a refresher for the remaster

[@xryeau_1760]

instead of using the same character with different weapons, i literally just make a new character with a new set-up for a weapon i want to use. i do this A LOT too. as for parry-specific items (buckler, target shield, parrying dagger), i personally don't like using those, the animation simply doesn't feel right to use for me. and as for playing with 0 poise, i do a lot of glass cannon characters so i've adapted to having little-no poise/defense, however recently i made a build meant for being fast with heavier armor. as for parrying people myself? i've wanted to start doing that but... no one's around to fight me to help me get good with parrying anyway!

[@sinjinvancleef2708]

Wow its not like this is what almost everyone does

[@lockeddownboxing9904]

I’ve been playing this game since its release back in 2011. I’ve just had an idea of searching KZbin for newcomer guides to see what’s going on that plane so I’ve watched your video and I must admit that its a classic within classics. I want you to be aware of it.

[@MrIwont4get]

Thanks, that means a lot!

[@hamptonbishop132]

For anyone who doesn't know , you can get the red sign soapstone in painted world of ariamis where the giant man birds are up the staircase.

[@SmileyCirrusOz]

The "Try someone more advanced then usual for you" tip is the most amazingly important one id say. Even if its parrying NPCs, the skill increase can help a lot.

[@MrIwont4get]

i think the best description for a quality build is one with at least lvl 27 strength and 30 dexterity. the majority are between those levels and lvl 40 in each. a lot of people use 27/40, or 40/40. i personally use 40/35 due to the fact i use strength weapons more often

[@Grushvak]

#1 tip for newbies who are too lazy to git gud but still want to win fights: be the guy at 10:50

[@TheRagefires]

You forgot the most important rule, HAVE GOOD INTERNET. I have at&t and PvP is not fair at all, I mean I'll go on tears some days and get 10 kills without dying, but most of the time people will be 5 feet in front of me and I get back stabbed, take no damage, and when I'm getting up from the imaginary back stab, I'll actually get back stabbed and die.

[@PadFeiLong]

Great Video and great job on all the weapon showcases. You have been a huge help to those who want to be more creative with their PvP builds.

[@MrIwont4get]

the gold tracer can only be roll buffed, and unless you are on pc then there is no hack for being able to simply buff a gold tracer.

[@Shot1608]

more of an advanced tip but for example if you notice your opponent is using pyromancies you can quick switch to a black knight shield. If he is using magic try switching to a crest shield or a spell stoneplate ring

[@MrIwont4get]

breaking the lock on would fall under the part where i mentioned playing unlocked, and i talked about poise.

[@AltarOfPlagues92]

Best Tip: Increase your stats as much as possible, don't be a fatty/tank, make sure you can roll as fast as you can. Fat rolls: easy backstabs

[@JUIIICED.]

Nah leveling is for casuls

[@AltarOfPlagues92]

Souls...you either waste them on leveling up or on tons of items...best to waste them anyway than let your oponent have them...Dark Souls is fascism, the strong do what they want and the weaker suffer all they must! No mercy! No souls for other player *evil grin*

[@JUIIICED.]

I dont know if you're trolling or whatever, but people dont get your actual souls. They get souls depending on your soul level. If you're level 125, as an invader you drop 45900, and as a host somewhere around 9000. It doesn't matter how many souls you have in your bar, its determined by your level

[@AltarOfPlagues92]

"LEVEL UP IS FOR CASULS" yeah...so just don't level up, leave your health at 500 and die with one invader attack, and dexterity at 15 so you can't use weapons, and inteligence/faith at 12 so you can't use ANY DAMN THING! :D fuck off kid. Dark Souls is fascism level up till you can't anymore

[@JUIIICED.]

I was joking at first, chill out lol. Anyways, people do just fine at 125. Leveling past there isn't really necessary but no ones stopping you, people do it just to challenge themselves a bit and find more pvp

[@MrIwont4get]

the standard level for pvp is between 100 and 130. there is a pretty good chance of getting invaded, unless you remain in hollow form. if you do there is no chance

[@boogit9979]

I tried getting into DS1 PVP early this year for DS3... oh my god I hate it so much. So many twinkers, flippers, hornet ring users, weller of what is its, darkmoon bladers, bs fishers, chain stabbers, etc.

[@thepeanutter9972]

+Isaiah Ziegler When ds3 comes out be the early bird and get good

[@linx7668]

+Isaiah Ziegler its dead now...

[@Yougobyebyenow]

31 poise is a good number, it lets you withstand a hit from 2h katanas, curved swords and most stun-locky weapons. If you're not good at parrying/dealing with greatswords and other heavy weapons, then you may want to go with 53.

[@pinkiepie6443]

I kinda found that a good way to counter Sunlight blades and Darkmoon blades would be to use the Effigy shield, (16 faith IS needed, but 90 phys and 90 lght resistance is worth it) and the Crest shield... Just turtle carefully, and outlast their buff and they are completely powerless.

[@TheRedkeyboard]

I would say that with a short range weapon you need to be more offensive and close gaps and not let the opponent take advantage of a greater reach. You need to keep the pressure on. With a longer weapon you can be more defensive because it means you can out range them and keep them at a distance your comfortable with unless someone is very offensive.

[@lilliansmith6996]

The best place to go for advice on what to do if my weapon is shorter than everyone else's.

[@jusa297]

Get a longer one

[@OffhandZweihander]

It definitely works vs. low poise builds because that combo is basically a stunlock and most people really don't expect that. Throw in the fact that you can dead angle the offhander slap and you got yourself quite a nifty trick :3

[@bubbajoe117]

PVP is a waste of time until you have beaten the game 10 fucking times and have everything thats worth having. otherwise its just a annoying way to serve as someones soul cash . . .

[@MrIwont4get]

PvP is never a waste of time, in fact I prefer it to the PvE and consider that more of a waste of time more than the PvP is. But of course that is my opinion, just as your comment was your opinion. That being said, you could be a little more polite about it considering this is a PvP focused channel.

[@bubbajoe117]

MrIwont4get i didnt mean it in any offense to the content creator or any of the PVP audiance. im just saying that i havent had any decent PvP experiance so far whats so ever. and everytime i come to something trying to find help/stratagies its always someone with a outragously long health bar and insanely powerful weapons and armor thats loaded with humanities and souls.

[@MrIwont4get]

bubbajoe117 Really you will have a really difficult time finding any good PvP now due to the fact DkS2 is out. The pvp meta for this game was SL 125, and the average health is actually around 1700-1800 for most people. I only have 1500. My armor gives defenses in the 300s across the boards, so it isnt great but I like the way it looks. As far as the humanity and souls are concerned, those are just proof I pvp a lot and somewhat know what I'm talking about. Also what would you consider an "insanely powerful weapon"? I find that most weapons in this game were pretty well balanced and the varied movesets are really nice.

[@bubbajoe117]

MrIwont4get my max HP is 862 and for the most part i still have the default theif armor for the most part as my best armor.im lvl 43 and my best weapon is a Drake sword +2 . . .

[@MrIwont4get]

bubbajoe117 You're still pretty new to the game, in time you will be able to handle invasions better. Look into the other weapons in the game. The drakesword is ok for getting started in the game but you will need to switch weapons soon. It you would be surprised how quickly your build will become more powerful, it just takes a bit of time.

[@ShadeofBlack1199]

I love using the offhand greatsword, that swing has such a wide angle, its phantom is great for interrupting back stabs or dead angling thorugh sheilds

[@OffhandZweihander]

Sometimes, yes. Try it out with a BSS mainhand, so you can combo the offhander slap into 2 Balder stabs - but sadly a lot of people stack a lot of poise so that strategy doesn't always work out :(

[@iduncan5424]

I respect the fact that you just wave instead of doing that douchey "Well what is it?" emote. proper etiquette seems so rare in online communities.

[@69reno69]

I've found that gravelord's sword is awesome in pvp for the entirety of it's move-set if nothing else. Note that for such a high phys dmg weapon it's easy to poise-break someone and stagger them purely from an R1 spam if they're too close in during poise-break. I've killed many player by simply R1 spamming their health down and right as the fight draws to a close and stamina is down to last hit range I toss in an R2 for good measure and even if they go to backpeddle the reach from this lunging stab finish usually does the trick. It's a mean weapon to use on someone who likes to overuse their acrobatics in hopes of avoiding hits, and outlasting your stamina bar.

[@vincienco]

The list of poise breaks is a huge help

[@MrIwont4get]

no problem!

[@Kyomaku]

10:59 he talks about "Spades"? going through 5 full sets of armor during a single fight, anyone got a link to that Video? I can't seem to find it. Will be much appreciated! :)

[@TheGreasyGremlins]

Don't knock it, commonly the offhand has a very fast attack I.E a dagger. This can be used to quick-hit and roll out for free damage during a slow swing.

[@kizilable]

An excellent thing to do with ultra greatsword wielders for a free hit (most of the time), it to tap roll to leap backwards the light attack. Its good because its fast and most of the time if they charge in you land the hit when they miss their strike.

[@LordOuro]

I spoil the ending of star wars to those who invade and kill me....

[@yakuzashibe]

Good lad :3

[@knightsofdiscountalot5306]

Ouro Noice

[@wesley3421]

The salt pleases me

[@TurtleDiezel]

Let the salt flow through you

[@Pumpkxnhead]

I want to share that for a low level class you will want to care more for poise than for armor rating, i wear barely anything, but in conjuction with the wolf ring i can make up for a bad roll

[@MrIwont4get]

not even close...if it was then why would i also wave before a match? it is a simple "hello, lets have a good match" and "bye, thanks for the match" if i wanted to do something equal to what you were saying i would spam well what is it or prostration to make it look like i'm tea bagging them. waving before and after is being friendly like bowing, without risk of people thinking you want to have a 100% honorable duel.

[@lordmordor4805]

hey, what is that armor set the host is wearing around 8:40....I've never seen it before and haven't been able to find it in the guides.

[@MrIwont4get]

gold hemmed hood, witch cloak, hollow warrior or soldier leggings (cant tell) and i cant tell the gauntlets either

[@iTzJakedood]

Anyone else getting ready for that remastered pvp?

[@kettlemagic]

Fast roll I-framing through Wrath of the Gods at point-blank range disappoints me so much from a balance perspective.

[@MrIwont4get]

Back in the day I could do it while fat rolling too. Same goes against dark bead. It's just a timing thing really.

[@PedroJPedro]

Poise break points: Ultra great sword, Greataxes, and Great Hammers 1handed 51, 2handed 76. Great swords, Curved great swords, Axes and Hammers 1handed 36, 2 handed 53. Straight swords, Curved swords, Katanas, Halberds, Whips, spears, Fist 1handed 21, and 2handed 36. Pierce Swords and Daggers 6, 1handed and 8 two handed. Other notables: Black Knight Great Axe 1handed 40, and 2handed 60 Black Knight Halberd 1handed 31, two handed 45 Running Greatsword 1handed 41, 2handed 56 poise

[@MrIwont4get]

try kicking them, then circle around for a backstab. chances are they will expect an attack after the kick so they will parry, opening themselves up for the free backstab.

[@ArchetypeGotoh]

Good tips, but what if you’re constantly drowning in lag and backstabbed from the front by twinks? Edit: but on a serious note, you don’t need vitality for PvE, but low HP in PvP means constant death, so what’s the goal for leveling your stats? My PvE strategy has almost always been boosting endurance and dex, two handing your weapon, using Int for the useful area navigation spells, and entirely ignoring vitality until the other stats hit 40. Help me?

[@MrIwont4get]

by using a save editor. its harmless, unless it distracts you mid fight :P

[@DaxterL]

what is a name of a weapon guy at 3:14 has. It's some kind of a fire weapon, but how it is called ?

[@MrIwont4get]

actually it isnt a fire weapon. in his main and he is using priscillas dagger, in the offhand a gold tracer.

[@statiq1941]

MrIwont4get to anyone curious, the gold tracer is obtained by giving the soul of Artorias to the whining bitch at his grave in the official DLC, and the priscilla dagger is from the tail of priscilla the crossbreed, from the land of the paintings

[@JeffreyQProductions]

Statiq actually, it's more beneficial if you kill her. You get her weapons anyways as well as armor and souls. Just kill her. No reason not to.

[@DaxterL]

***** I gave her the soul

[@DaxterL]

But i will soon too, after my character gets there, i'm trying to make a cosplay.

[@Keegonian]

Heyo iwont4get, have you done a Butcher knife video? It's a crazy fun alternative to the Golem axe, one of my favourites.

[@SovereignOfNight]

thanks for the tips, question, have u faced anyone who was using the Giant Dad build, or a player who's gamertag is Velkaa??

[@JordanMeAwesome]

How do you get better connection in matches? There are so many connection issues going on that it makes it really hard to enjoy PvP. Shortswords with the range of a Washing Pole, backstabbing each other at the same time, players running straight through me and backstabbing me. When I do have a good connection with the other player its really fun though, but most fights are quite bad. Does the Host you're invading get a connection advantage or something?

[@downsjmmyjones101]

First time killing an invader today. Was super nervous. Managed to dispatch pretty easily which has pushed me to level up in the Gravelord Servant Covenant. Gravelord Greatsword Dance, here I come!

[@trenbolone007]

Hey there MrIwont4get. Just saw your clip which I found it very informative and useful. Especially the last advise you give: It is a game and we should all enjoy it and have fun with it. I look forward to seeing you one day on a PvP match. Thank you once again.

[@MrIwont4get]

stop by the stream sometime, it's easier to run into me than you'd think ;)

[@DKUmaro]

One last advanced technique to mention would be Dead angling. EWGF got a good guide for that.

[@OffhandZweihander]

I didn't "knock it" because most of the time dual wielding is about the only thing you'll see me do

[@mAnIaCoOkIeS]

What armor set should i wear if i really want to light roll but still have enough poise to not get stunned every friggen hit?

[@phantomninja01]

Tried PvP for the first time today as a Forest Protector, got pulled into a world where I was immediately ganked and killed. My next 3 invasions were against the same guy who wasted my with a katana.

[@kevgmei]

Princess' Guard, Painted World, Kiln, challenge a friend and set rules. My best PvP tips.

[@adjectivenounverb]

what's your opinion on people that absolutely MUST roll bs every single one of your attacks and never attack normally once?

[@MedivalEngineer]

At 8:20 what sword is the other guy using? Anybody know?

[@MrIwont4get]

that would be the great lord greatsword

[@beychampboy]

it's actually a katana (i think) with charcoal pine resin

[@MrIwont4get]

Ezio Auditore Da firenze ummm no it is the greatlord greatsword lol

[@iSuicyde]

Typically a quality build is either 27/40 or 40/40 (Str/Dex). Its based off weapons scaling off of both.

[@MrBrokewilly]

Excellent vid.All of ur points r right on the money especially the last one - just have fun with the game - take chances and no fear of losing.Keep on dropping the knowledge.

[@miciso666]

so im kinda questioning is this good? black knight sword +2 crossbow heavy bolts hollow shield solaires catalyst boar helm stone armour set cat ring and protect ring from the betrayer dude im in the forest covenant but everyone i match against mayorly outranks me.... they either have a yellow buddy or another friend in spiky armour/ornstein/smough set guarding the host whos nearly always a mage/faith user >.< so far i could only kill 1 guy cuz his protector was an archer any tips plz? these where pretty usefull tho and for the sake of alvina and the fog ring ill try again tonight

[@miciso666]

also this is my full build i swap havel for cat just to enter battles mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?b=dGhpZWYsOSwxMSwyOCwyMCwxOCwxMCwxMiwxNCwwLDUyLDQ5LDQ2LDQ5LDMsMzEsMTQ4LDI4LDEyOCwxMDgsbm9ybWFsLG5vcm1hbCxub3JtYWwsbm9ybWFsLDAsNjAsMCwwLDAsMCwwLDAsMCwwLDAsMCwwLDUsd29vZGVuLHdvb2Rlbix3b29kZW4sYndvb2QsMSwwLDAsMSwzMywzMiwzNCwyMQ==

[@BachikoiBabi]

Okay, what do I do about people that do NOTHING but backstab farm? Especially when I'm nowhere near them, or not even facing away from them and they still lock me into backstab. Recently the big thing I've seen is I'll backroll (with darkwood grain ring) away from them, and they still manage to backstab without even moving. Is it just lag or something?

[@MrIwont4get]

added a link to the bands youtube channel in the description

[@JaggerIsBurritos]

5:04 first person I've ever seen to actually use the demon machete two handed r2.

[@nirorit]

I think you're missing the most important things that beginners get frustrated from. (I'm a beginner too, and just recently learned them through watching many of your and others' pvp battles) Like when your opponent goes for a back stab release the lock on and attack directly backwards, or if you want to break your opponent's poise before he breaks your make sure you deal the first hit, or never attack twice against people who love parrying.

[@yaboyswiggity]

How to you deal with players that are turtling behind high stability shields? all I run into when invading are new players that turtle and hackers...

[@SoundIPeace]

What kind of bug is going on at 1:18 I've seen 2 of those interactive circles like eyes in dark anorlondo from a far distance and when I got close to what you see at 1:18 they disappeared, pretty fun. And there were 2 of the circles like eyes 😂 maybe someone can explain why these circles show for no reason because while I'm typing this I saw 2 of them today and it was from really far away even. I don't mean to be a yapper but strange

[@MrIwont4get]

Those are miracle resonance circles. Check out this video for illusory wall, he explains why it's a rare thing to see! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaemi2WfltmggcUsi=8_bFn5X87kRkGMJJ

[@Darkbohamit]

what armor is the other player wearing at 8:30 - 9:10 ish mostly want to know what leg piece that is lol

[@MrIwont4get]

it is one of 2 things and i cant exactly tell which...it is either the hollow soldier or hollow warrior waistcloth

[@LukeSparrow221]

Thanks for the tips man, I can use them. Still wrapping my head around this games pvp.

[@symonlam]

I pick up Dark Soul again on Nintendo Switch and I am just playing PVP at Township too. I am curious why there is sometimes a glowing ring on the ground that resembles the one after I defeat Iron Golem in Sen’s fortress?

[@MrIwont4get]

It's a miracle resonance ring. They are a bit of a mystery still lol.

[@TomVally101]

What is a good level to Starr PvPing at? My friend said 50 but I just want another opinion. I've been doing it at 120 but I guess that's "pro level".

[@piguyerrific]

how much vitality/endurance is recommended for a melee/miracle build? i've got 40 and 36, respectively. sl is 120.

[@MrIwont4get]

play unlocked, when you start to swing just turn around and smack them in the face. i recommend 2handing a zweihander for that btw

[@MundaneMuser]

It takes so much time and effort to fully upgrade equipment that I can't imagine an effective way of familiarising myself with a wide range of weapons and armor, and figuring out my preferred equipment combos, in order to get good at PvP. That is unless I cheat - something I'm reluctant to do. Do players often cheat to get more Titanite Chunks and Slabs? Plus there's the issue of finding your preferred stat spread - having to start several or many new games in order to do this. I want to get good at PvP in Dark Souls, but these obstacles seem quite substantial. I'd really appreciate your help if you win duels at least half the time.

[@rabbih5131]

im nowhere near completion of the game so idk how pvp works, but is it like match making where i can search for players or do i have to invade them? if so, can i buy the stone to invade other people?

[@XenuBaby420]

You can get a Red Soapstone from the Painted World of Ariamas and you can use that for people to directly summon you into their world for PvP. If you don't know where that area is then you'll probably have to look it up. But I recommend looking it up second playthrough and PvP second playthrough because first playthroughs should always be blind.

[@XenuBaby420]

To invade you'll need to get the red eye orb, and again if you don't find that on your own blind then you should get it second playthrough (do what you want of course, but I'm a stickler about blind playthroughs)

[@rabbih5131]

+Xenu Baby yeah i havent searched anything, i told myself my first playthrough will be blind. thanks :D

[@XenuBaby420]

+TheLegendaryLemon How far are you currently?

[@rabbih5131]

Xenu Baby i stopped playing but i got past the gargoyles, killed the moonlight butterfly, went down to the sheep goat boss in the little room with the stairs (forgot his name) and i also got through the dragon lizard boss in the depths, where the sewers are. i stopped playing after that boss, im continuing sooon

[@punk54321]

What are your thoughts on shield switching?

[@MrIwont4get]

i am on xbox, but i have played on ps3. the suggestion i gave does apply to both.

[@EivindDahl]

This is a really sweet video. Good information density, and very informative indeed! I want to PvP now.

[@LucciAD]

So when someone has low poise you use heavy weapons and if they have high you use normal weapons?

[@BRO56002]

Not exactly. What he's trying to say is that try to know the poise break on weapons( you can look up poise breaks on weapons) and then make a generalization of what their poise is so you will know if it's a good idea to try to stunluck them or not.

[@kendall280z]

low poise=most things will stun them high poise=hard to stun them but the points is to change you play style depending on what they have not your weapons

[@kevgmei]

Kendall Handan So basically match your weapon to their armour: Dex weapon against light armour, medium (ie: greatswords) against medium, and heavy, preferably great hammers, great axes, or U-GSword against heavy armour. Fire and magic for general purpose.

Kevin Meisenbacher I don't know of you can get the swap on time before getting rekt lol

[@dakotabice558]

Don’t you love it when half the people you invade just make a beeline for the boss?

[@TheDarkLinkofDeath97]

OMFG a Darkmoon blade that doesn't 1 shot you with Power within, DMB, SLB, TWOP, and WOTG as backup. Finally...

[@corkey29]

i mainly follow the last rule, i'm terrible at this game, but I always have fun!

[@JumboGeronimo]

At SL125 ,the usual pvp level, from what I see a lot of people fight in Oolacile does it matter if you are on NG+ and if so which NG should I be on?

[@MrIwont4get]

being on ng or ng+ or even ng+7 doesnt matter for pvp if you're invading.

[@JumboGeronimo]

Thanks, I was a bit worried because I had trouble getting invaded

[@DARKHELLSTORM]

does anyone still play this on PC?

[@jadengrattan3225]

I've found it to be very active at SL125, not quite as much at lower levels though.

[@underwaterhobo5247]

+Jaden Grattan do you have mods to find players of something i can never find anybody.

[@shahabazkhan1]

So late, but you can install a small program to get you more players, if you're on PC. It works for me very well. Search for Wulf's Connectivity mod. And no, you can't get banned.

[@TraNceHamstas14]

I just got this game couple of days ago. How does he have so many souls and a lot of humanity as well?

[@MrIwont4get]

from pvp

[@MrIwont4get]

glad you enjoyed it...we need to get matches in still!

[@sanningentv2374]

Is there any way to make yourself to connect to other players easier? I was streaming tonight and at the end of my stream i didn't connect with a single player for atleast 45 mins

[@AnimetionArt0]

You should try out a hyper mode/ glass cannon bow build. Ive seen it done in demon souls extremely effectively and I wonder if it would work as well in dark souls.

[@Nicksta2017]

Yeah, I became a Darkmoon Blade directly as the antithesis to the only ones I've fought against.

[@blkfish92]

I play on ps3 and have A LOT of pvp experience and beating a roll backstab isn't very difficult if you're aware enough.

[@Thiemann1966]

Are you playing on XBox? Because it´s almost impossible to avoid roll bs on PS3, no matter which direction you are facing.

[@theacegamingdemon6983]

I'm planning to do a dark wraith knight pop build, any tips for stats, also planning on having 2 dark hands so i can attempt to suck humanity.

[@blackdragonkalameet3844]

TheAceGamingDemon use tranquil walk of peace, won't land dark hand without it.

[@Στράτος-β8ζ]

What's the name of the sword at 2:00 ?

[@MrIwont4get]

[@Στράτος-β8ζ]

MrIwont4get Oh ok Thank you! :)

[@Στράτος-β8ζ]

MrIwont4get By the way you are pefect at pvp :)

As long as you're having fun (just poking fun, I love this game).

[@thepeanutter9972]

Who’s waiting for the remaster?

[@TheXmacProject]

On the last fight your opponents hair color was a neon blue how did he do that?
