Ya, if you press triangle the same time you run it over with torrent, you will break and pick up the rune without needing to slow down or turn around.

definitely much easier with torrent, you can gallop at full speed over them and spam Y and collect them reliably with no slowing down. these things are suprisingly useful to bank (along with all runes) b/c you can top yourself up to the next level when you are close to dump souls before a boss fight or something that might risk losing your whole pool

I sometimes do Henry Heel Flick with them when on foot)

I thought that was obvious until I was streaming for a friend to show him an area and he said "Wait, you can hit those things?" Then I was like huh, I guess some people just don't hit everything they see.

if you're on foot, roll over them. much easier than trying to hit them

Truly great friend thx

This is great, thanks!

soo good with the uchi art, really lets you use it to counter quickly, or retaliate after blocking. I dont know if there are any other arts that are as fast, but ive found that using it to counter enemy attacks and staggering them has been QUITE effective. even bosses. the R2 version is SO much better tho. I mean, im hitting for over 700 with a +8. not to mention it breaks blocks too. so block, r2 draw, stagger blocking enemy and posture break them, then a free stab. ez

@@CODA96 there is a zone east of the limgrave castle where you can get acess to competitive pvp items. I tried it a few times and the matches were pretty balanced. I have no idea if there is lvl based matchmaking like other games.

Same, I'm around 20 hours in and I just beat the castle door boss. As soon as I found the rot area, I spent like 5 hours just exploring and getting one shot by mobs and bosses I was obviously not ready to face. Still had a ton of fun though, this game really nails exploration.

@@CODA96 Nah man, the PvP in this is even better than DS2 (Which had the best.) The need to read your opponent and the necessity to use your full moveset is VERY rewarding. You have the advantage in a 3v1. If the invader wins, it's purely testament to his skill, regardless of the amount of damage he does. However, the damage from Invaders have been negligible at best. I've been testing PvP and the only guys who do a lot of damage are the guys who defeated the Grafted Scion. They deserve the damage if the won that fight.

You can also buy a 100% physical block shield the moment you get to the roundtable hold.

Also, the common foot soldiers near the beginning drop a brass shield that is 100% block.

The Soldiers of Godric enemies (soldiers with the orange and green armor) can drop a kite shield with 100% physical damage negation. Only caveat is that some classes (at least starting out) won’t meet the Strength requirement to use a lot of these shields

That's true. I DESTROYED the bloodhound knight just by blocking all his attacks. All you gotta do against him is block, wait for a 3 hit chain or a heavy with cooldown and then attack once. He does the combos and heavies a lot, so it won't take too long. Just be careful with the blood loss, make distance when the bar is big

No shield man, just dodge 😎

depends on the weapon for sure, uchi doesnt have a different attack, but others definitely do.

It's beyond useful with ultragreatswords in PvP! Being able to pull off a quick piercing attack without rolling is priceless...

@@stonersparky press the light attack. you probably are not in the right position when you are attempting the backstab. it takes a bit of practice.

You can also use Torrent since you can’t be poisoned while on him

thats actually a pretty good trick right there .. nice one dude

@@alexzan3564 why

Bless you for this. Those birds suuuuck.

I had more trouble with the knight than the birds, though that might be because I'm using magic mostly

Since I've died several times facing the knight after the church, I've passed through these birds enough times to notice something else. When you aggro these birds, the first one will throw its barrel at you then get in position to rush towards you while the second one throws its own barrel. If you avoid the first barrel and then arrange for the second to be thrown on the stairs, you have a good chance to have the first bird touch the range of the explosion and die. With good timing/luck, you can even have both dying at once. The same applies to the third bird at the end of that path, hidden behind a tower and a bunch of explosive barrels. If you advance towards these barrels and go back quickly, the bird will have already started its attack animation, blow the barrels up and die from the explosion. The birds are also pretty frail and hence weak to riposts.

Pro tip. Get some fire arrows. Blow those birds sky high.

If you have a shield the guard counter make the birds fall.

Oh that's so nice to know

@@blindsloth364 true. didn't mention it because it was a thing in Darksouls already. But you're absolutely right.

sometimes they're revived by a summoner tho and you have to kill the summoner first

@@Malurth If there is a summoner, Holy damage also lets you bypass having to kill him. Makes it a lot easier than going around looking for him

Yes!! My katanas sucked against them and I tried using my black knight flail on them, since thats the purpose of flails and maces, damaging heavy armor. Worked like a charm. Now my main weapon in mines or against crystalized enemies is flails.

This is due to the damage type of Flails, Hammers, and Maces being strike, while other weapons have the Standard, Slash , or Pierce damage type. Enemies with hard skin(like the miners), are weak to strike damage, but resist the others.

it also feels as if your chance to find those glowing skulls with the runes inside are higher.

The Ash of War that was named after me 😩

Ok this is confusing. I always see No Skill on my screen and I did not understand what that meant? I don't have a No Skill Ash.

These are all of the things I point out when I see people complaining about not playing this because they are scared off by the reputation of Souls games.

....ok?

I like to leave them as reminders to check an area out later if I'm busy with something else, like when I accidentally stumbled on a Death Bird spawn during the day. For those who don't know, there are some enemies and even bosses who only spawn at night (in the case of enemies it's more like they just spawn in places where they don't during the day, but the bosses can't be found any other way. I won't say where they are, though; you'll have to find that yourselves). Also, a little tip for the stealth lads; if you'd like a cheaper, albeit less accurate and shorter-ranged alternative to arrows or knives for distracting or luring enemies, the "ruin fragment" items that are carried by the wandering nobles or found on crumbling stone structures aren't just crafting materials; they can also be thrown. Great for getting an enemy's aggro and luring them away from their buddies to pick them off, one by one or, if you're a phantom and your host is at low health without any flasks and close to the next Grace, you can aggro any enemies in the way and lead them away. The later is, of course, extremely situational, but any tarnished worth their salt knows that they should have a plan for any situation, no matter how unlikely, and a backup plan, too, just in case. Returning to the subject of the ruin fragments, they're also useful for... not much other then crafting, if we're talking about actually, genuinely useful stuff, but if you're the kind of tarnished who likes doing stupid shit or engaging in dumbassery of the most extreme and absurd kind, you might be able to use them in useless mix ups in pvp, randomly throwing a rock at someone's head to confuse them because why would anyone stop to throw a rock at someone in the middle of a fight to the death, but they also deal an astonishing, mind blowing, dumbfounding, mind boggling, buffoon-flumouxing and game changing 1 damage, and you can carry 999 of them. That's nine hundred and ninety-nine rocks, for 999 damage over the course of the next three years, so if you're thinking of attempting or currently engaged in a consumable-only run, then I have wasted your time because who the hell is going to use this worthless information? Also, it's really funny when you get a boss to one hp and finish them with a rock to the head (if they even have a head), give it a try sometime.

i rely on it alot to travel around new areas.

If you play the bandit class like I do and put a good amount of points in dex, you can crouch sprint right up behind any enemy and they won't hear you. (Only lvl 49 atm too)

I swear to god people are just so eager to shit on games nowadays even when they're fucking incredible

@Bombadil Squire there's so many reasons to jump in this game

@Bombadil Squire Climbing vertical surfaces, jesus fucking christ.

@Bombadil Squire There's literally rewards on top of so many things you can only get to by jumping, though. Also jumping has s and can be very useful in combat.

There's even several cliffs and ledges in caves and elsewhere that you literally have to jump to get up, or gaps to jump across. These aren't hidden paths, these are like main paths and the sincere way to progress in these areas. Jumping is a core part of traversal in this game, even if you personally feel like you don't have a use for it, somehow. Jumping is itself climbing in this game, there doesn't need to be some dedicated "climbing mechanic" to warrant it. You can just jump, like you can just sprint and roll.
