is there any explanation for why havel’s set is where it is in this game. Or why it’s here at all

1 Like

no. its only in the game at all for fanservice

i think they kinda gave up having meaningful placement for treasure caches after dark souls 1 unfortunately. like somewhere in the middle of both 2 & bloodborne

can’t believe my memories of dark souls being the series with HAVEL THE ROCK in it mixed with drangleic’s shifting time and space deposited his shit in the gutter. what powerful magicks from channeled while developing this game.

Did you forget the body of my post was complaining about dying to the Pursuer many dozens of times before finally landing the parry → ballista combo? I didn’t say “that’s it?” like it was some magic key, but “that’s it” in a bewildered “how dare that have done 100% damage, who designed this?” exclamation.

you made it sound like the whole time the ballista was sitting right there as an easy out as you were dying over and over

Listen you need to understand something about me: I am a terrible writer and it isn’t my fault you can’t grasp what my mind is trying to relay via a poor use of words.

it’s depresing to me how much time i’ve put into this game to the extent that i can play it like in a fugue state

getting weird with it tho, did giant>pursuer>mcduff>heide for miracles>debating whether to fw no mans wharf or kill the ruin sentinels
i want that HEIDE SPEAR but i also need to put more points into stuff so i can actually use the damn thing

20 adp makes the rest of the game pretty fun though. i need to put enough stats in equipment load so i can obtain and wear a good Hat

the worst nerf in the whole series was destroying both the damage & number of uses of Lightning Spear i remember on release faith builds were super fucking fun cuz you could snipe your way thru a lot of areas with binocular lightning

I acquired enough funds to be permitted the keys to the dlc levels. The first one is great so far! Here’s me praying to a large calcium deposit

literally what switched me from pro-DkS2 to a DkS2 hater was them ruining faith builds

From Software keeps doing this. Faith Build was super fun with the laser shield in Elden Ring and then they ‘fixed’ that ‘bug’ and Faith went right back to dullest build in the game

im hoping to become amused with late-game hexes again but we’ll see

honestly i started as a dex/int guy, maybe next time i’ll roll up GRINGUS #7 with an eye toward moonlight swords, a thing i’ve never done in any souls game somehow
