I beat Dark Souls like 10 times and I used this every single time, even on "challenge" runs, did it even count?
Yes.RoFaP makes you more efficient. The buff's aren't significant enough to save a bad player.
yeah, why wouldn't it count?if anything you handicapped yourself by using that ring in challenge runs instead of nuking bosses with bellowing dragoncrest + red tearstone + power within + pyromancyand for going through the game you miss out on ring of fog + slumbering dragoncrest
>>736198195you interacted with mechanics the game offers, therefor your play through was invalid
>>736198195Did you see the ending cinematic and credits? Then yes, yes you did beat the game. No, it doesn't matter you didn't play a SL1, bare fists only, blindfolded and handcuffed, controlled the gamepad with your toes.You beat it with magic? You beat the game. You beat it at SL300? You beat the game. You beat it as a giant dad? You beat the game. You beat it as a dick ass rogue? You beat the game. You beat it with summons? You beat the game. You beat it without summons? You beat the game. You completed every side character sidequest? You beat the game. You killed every side character on first meeting them? You beat the game.You beat the game. Congrats. Now grow a spine and quit looking for validation from insecure faggots who desperately want to be elites on an imageboard.
>>736198195>needing rings>needing equipment at all>needing to create a characterYou didn't beat the game.
I've never used the Ring of Favor and Protection and the idea of needing to dedicate a ringslot to just stat increases permanently is dumb. I'd prefer to use both ring slots, thank you.
>>736198195>uses ringsYou didn't beat the game
>>736198195Nope. Using Shields, Heavy Armor or Greatswords doesn't count as beating the game either. It's like setting the game to "I'm just here for the story" type difficulty.
>>736198195The only things in Dark Souls that invalidate runs is the grass crest shield and the giant dad build
>>736199963Say what I can use to beat the game
I have played every dark souls game and I have never beat a single one.
>>736203728Neither have 95% of the anons who post in Dark Souls threads
>>736199963This anon didn't beat the game. ignore him.
>>736200181giantdad isn't even a build for most of the game, nor is it an especially good build for beating the gameit's a max lvl pvp build..
FAP ring is the only way to play if you're using any armor worth a damn.>>736200181Giant Dad fuckery is only for PVP, it doesn't do much for the normal game. I'd wager nothing invalidates a run but using magic is definitely the easy mode of the game.
>>736198195There are much more broken things for simply beating the game, like dark knight weapons.
>>736203951>using armorGuess what? You didn't beat the game scrub.
>>73620382895%? horseshitit's not that hard to beat ds1
>>736204050But I already 100% it.
>>736203973thisI remember trying a build that involved rushing dark knight spear(?) as early as possible, and that shit pretty much hard-carries you through the entire game
>>736198195You only didn’t beat the game if you used zweihander, black knight weapons or magicThose things are like using mimic in ER
>>736198195I had my cousin fiddle around with the controller thing and I shouted what I wanted the guy on the screen to do. Did I beat the game?
>>736200181>grass crest shield that gives +20 stam regen bad, no skill>chloranthy ring that gives +30 regen fine, skill basedHuh?
>>736200181The whole joke about giantdad was that it was a mediocre build.
>>736199417There's basically no reason to use anything other than fap ring and chloranthy ring
>>736204381sort ofthe old meta was to equip dark wood grain ring to ninja roll with 50% equip load, then equip giant armor (typically with mask of the mother) for defense and poisethen dwgr got nerfed in a patch
I ALSO beat Dark Souls ten times but I only used that ring for a few of them.
