I beat your mother

for me, it's the shield bros

hmm the trophys say otherwise

Sure did, not my fault FromSoft gave it to me

For me it's the Vergil Build

got the cheevo

I think as everyone got further we all gave up on beating the game "for real"

For me, it's these lil dudes.

I've got nothing to prove to anyone.
I WILL use an OP magic build
I WILL use ashes
I WILL use summon signs
And I WILL beat the game all while saving myself frustration and time better spent on new experiences

Eat shit + ratio bitch

Yeah I haven't found that yet and I don't know where it is
I'm a big fan of the Ancestral Follower though, just a big ass viking with a super fast magic bow and an axe for close quarters. My understanding is he's considered one of the better summons anyway.

>Fire dmg talismans
>Fire dmg incantation buff
>Fire dmg crystal tear and faith buff
>Golden Vow buff
>Summon mimic
>Spam Blasphemous Blade Weapon Art to deal 3-4k damage to boss per attack
Oh yeah it's gaming time

Why it's grayed out all the time, how do I use it?

we* beat it.
*the royal we, as in I.

I beat the game without it but I did go back afterwards and get it and Hoarfrosted the shit out of every optional boss with my Mimic buddy.

You're right. I just only beat Astel. It will take me another week if I just do nothing besides work, sleep and play.

The way ashes work is that you can typically only use them during bosses or in some select areas (some outdoor dungeons, for example)
You'll see a gravestone icon on the side of your screen to let you know they're available.

These things can be pretty useless at times, running straight into enemy attacks, standing in pools of enemy goo that damages them, acting like complete idiots. But for people who can only play offline they are a god send.

you either don't have the bell or don't have enough for/hp to summon

I look forward to seeing hilariously broken mimic builds

Reminder that if you deprive yourself of certain game mechanics, you experience less of the game than those who do use the mechanic, therefor you're depriving yourself of the full experience.

God I love this little guy.

Saw the credits. Got the cheevo. Fuck off, faggot.

I'm a sorc and my mimic keeps dying real fast, I used the tanky skellies

The game gives you these items to use them, if you don’t wanna use them then don’t. Telling yourself it’s cheating is a self made rule you fucking faggot

100% Guaranteed that in the coming week there will be a balance patch that will cause a lot of butthurt

Hoarfrost and Mimic will definitely get nerfed. I beat Malenia with these two in less than 2 minutes.
