    • @thaias9654
      @thaias9654 4 роки тому

      When you invade with a covenant that changes your reward, the game is searching for hosts that are the closest to matching the preferences of the covenant. Sun bros look for worlds with 1 or more invaders already in it. Mound makers look for worlds with the most amount of players in it.

    Regarding #9, in DS2 you could stop a jump by hitting R1 and turning it into a plunging attack, there's also at least 3 places where this is necessary to avoid most likely falling to your death. Firstly near the bridge leading to the undead asylum there's a tricky jump with an item on top of a pillar which is extremely hard to land otherwise, again on a ledge above some poison water on the way into Earthen Peak, and also in Dragon Aerie there is a point at which you can fall from one of the ziplines and using the plunging attack while falling ensures you don't roll right off the edge of a precarious rock to your death.

    Something I've noticed, and I've had at least one other person witness as well, is that it seems like you can "clank" weapons with some enemies.

    1- Strike it with a weapon the hit is guarded and the enemy will quickly retaliate
    2- Use instead a kick (Up + hit), the guard is broken like a parry leaving you this monumental opportunity to use a critical attack (Tried on Irithyll shielded pontifs and dark / Silver knights)
    I personally call it a trick since it is not shown on the tutorial

    Abyss Watchers share blood of the wolf? Presumably Artorias? So they are
    bound by some rite that makes them most likely consume or infect them
    selves with his blood. This will change them and give them enhanced
    agility they are known for.
    First abyss watchers might have not
    know the fact that Artorias was infected by the Abyss. So every abyss
    watcher to follow would unwillingly share his taint. After time they
    would obviously learn about this and slay their infected brotheryn. For
    the new members curse of the Blood of the Wolf might be worth years or
    decades spent fighting against the abyss before succumbing to it. Or as
    it happens they may only learn about this after their vows and blood
    rite required to join the elite.
    The transformation and unison of
    abyss watchers actually helps them with their curse. As the lord of
    Cinder they are able to constantly separate abyss infected part of
    themselves and destroy it although it might be a valiant effort.
    Only in second stage of fight they stop this internal conflict to unite once again against the ashen one.
