Does the transformation go away after time?

Submit

This has no weight for the protection and fire absorption and the buff it offers. Match with flynn ring

The dragon worship in dark souls is always so cool. I don't really have a problem with how this version form looks and it was fun to piece together how to unlock archdragon peak.
I always wondered about the lore implications of the dragon worshipers and transformation. Is humanity related to the ancient dragons in some way? Humanity's essence is dark, and the dragons ruled before the first flame. Perhaps that's their link.

**it just goat serious

Submit

so you cant wear any armor and in return you get a 5 second damage buff. surely i’m missing something here. theres no way dragon form is THAT worthless, right?

Submit

What lift theres like 3...

Submit

honestly you look more like nameless kings stormdrake than a real dragon.

the only thing that i hate about the dragon form in this game is it has to be the weakest of the 3 games in terms of stats. the design would look better if they didnt make you look like you were half-way through embalming but the real tragedy is that in dark souls 2 your dragon form essentially gave you a suit of armor that was at +5. i'm not here to debate the first games dragon form but that one was hella superior because it let you use your neck to drink estus.

Submit

Anyone know the concrete numbers on this? Does it affect spells at all? Is there a PvP vs PvE spell difference? In PvP, is it 10% AR AND 12% post-mitigation damage? It's maddening as I love the form but I want absolute numbers on this.

Submit

stop bullshitting about the looks . it is not meant to make you a dragon . when you turn you are still a humanoid dragon hybrid . what kind of ****in dragon is two legged . you people watch too much anime pfffff

DS3 has a ton of characters who try and fail to become dragons, why do you think you would succeed in something that's been the ruin of so many? Wait, we only care about the lore when it comes to saying dumb **** like "Solaire is the firstborn", never mind.

im done with this game. im done with getting one shotted by anorexic goats

oh come on, do i really have to sacrifice my fashion souls for looking like a starved goat with steroids in dmg?

Submit

They could've modified the DS2 dragon form into an actual form instead of just armor and it'll be the best-looking dragon form in the series, but no. They made an anorexic deer/goat monstrosity instead.

Submit

Dragon form of the dark sou- GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Submit

you know what? we might look ugly but we're STILL DRA

Submit

What was from really thinking of while they were sculpting this model BRUH.there were a whole lot of dragon bros in ds2 dying to see how it looked like in 3 and then here you go (dragon bro GOATY edition) ds series had masterpieces of character design and concepts but i dunnow what gave them the idea of THIS!!! even I with my literal experience in sculpting and character design could have made it better so our dragon bros were a bit happier about how they look like(and we even ignore our armor for this if only they just improved ds2's armor and just added it here BIG BRUH)

Submit

Be honest, does that look like a dragon to you?

Submit

The guy fighting the NPC enemy in the walkthrough video seriously ticks me off; he has about 5 different chances to win the battle except he REFUSES to press his advantage! It’s only a difficult fight for him because he keeps backing off after staggering his enemy and allowing him to heal! Just—advance! Hit. The guy. With. Your sword!!

Submit

its like having a fus ro dah, but only the fus, lmao, so weak it does not even knock down a hollow slave, it only does a small stagger, at least its good to get these rats out of the way so you can enter the tunnel lololol

Submit

I have the dragon head stone which you get from beating the boss and I have the twinkling Dragon torso stone which you get from emoting at the alter but SOMEHOW I don't have the actual Dragon torso stone and I can't get it and without all three I can't get the twinkling Dragon head stone

Submit

It is not at all by the lift by the dungeon bonfire. That lift takes you to the giant pit with rats. It's actually at the END of the dungeon. Accuracy matters.

Submit

If anybody was wondering, the knight slayers ring increase the stamina damage the roar does to shields.

Submit

Not sure if anyone else has posted this but worth noting is the roar buff also increases the crit modifier. That means a guard break plus hornet riposte is instant death with any weapon

Submit

Probably the the most useful of the dragon stones. The ONLY useful stone, actually

Submit

GNAAAHH!

Submit

Perfect for guard breaking. That roar breaks shields easily (due to crappy stability on most shields) and the damage buff is serious business with a dagger riposte

Submit

Me having never used this form seriously teaches me I still have a long way to go.

Submit

Finally! Now I can cosplay as a goat in Dark Souls! This is just what I've been waiting for!

I used the dragon form once, then I figured out I gotta kill myself to make it go away.. and now I can't use it anymore.. wtf is up?

Submit

I dont think people understand why dragonform looks the way it does, archdragon peak is crumbling and its all destroyed, the archdragons are gone and there is no dragon to enhance the power of these stones, that said the roar is still really good in pvp and i like the look, it looks like its being eaten away by the abyss and its the first in the series that isnt an armor set with a special skin on it, and is also the only one with actual physics

Submit

GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH-

Submit

are the dragon transformation stones re-useable?

Submit

Do you still face the defense (different from absorption) penalty for not wearing armor with this activated?

Submit

The dragon form is meant to be the porsche to the usual armor-clad tank. The best defense is not getting hit. timely rolling and a sturdy shield are the name of the game. The benefit is less dedication to vitality, elemental resists, quick-rolls, and a turtle-smasher roar with enhanced damage that also translates into the inevitable riposte. Timed right it will deflect arrows and spells, but it is trickier than parrying. It also combo's well with the twinkling torso. Roar, riposte, groundslam wake-up call. (though the slam misses in pvp because players can interrupt the get-up animation) The build works very well with the demon scar and a pyromancy build. you need almost no strength or dex. The sword, pyromancies, and twinkling torso all scale to int/faith as well. Load up with swamp, witch, and fire clutch rings, and a shield of choice, and you become deadly to just about everything. (save monsters with high fire resist. but keep a spare dex weapon handy and no worries on that front either)

I can't seem to be able walk through boss fogs as a phantom while in dragon form.

Submit

It would be nice if they followed the original dragon design of DS1 but give it the updates this design has...namely not sucking Estus through the neck.

The dragon from in DS1 at least LOOKED like a dragon where this one...the starving bastard of a one night stand between the Capra Demon and a Lordan hollow.

Submit

cant put clothes back on after use

Submit

Does anyone know if any of the Dragon items are tradeable?

Submit

Anyone else think this should be a covenant that spawns you in arch dragon peak if you go into dragon form like Aldrich Faithful but in dragon form. Sounds like some pretty good pvp

Submit

How well would this pair with something like, let's say Gundyr's Halberd? Could a build be made at all around this pair?

I enjoy using the Spook spell to quicken going down paths and ladders, 3 times spook was active in dragon form (it showed my feet glowing) all 3 times died/took fall damage. Wondering what other self affecting spells are impacted by this?

Submit

Can this deflect sorcerers?

Submit

GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

Submit

twinkling dragon torso does the info is on it's page, and yes this is often used with dark hand, floydds ring, or ceastus for fun

Submit

Has anyone used this thing with a floyd's ring? It sounds like it can be devastating with the right light weapon.

Submit

Does this give you absorption and the flat damage reduction of an armor set?

Submit

This thing is op in pvp. Fast cast animation and it drains all of your opponents stamina in 1 roar. Which means easy riposte on anyone using shields (even greatshields) and opponents being unable to attack (since they have no stamina).

Submit

I landed a parry with this. IDK how i did it but he was attacking.can this things roar parry an attack or was this just a freak bug?

Submit

When I go to the dragon statue there is no stone to collect????

Submit

A great item, and far faster than the Twinkling counterpart. Combine this with hypermode for devastating levels of damage.The wiki says it adds 10% AR, but in my test I've found that it actually adds more like 15% in computed damage. Combine this with red tearstone, morion blades, and even Power Within for compound damage that's truly awe-inspiring.People are far too eager to write something off as ineffective rather than be creative about how to use it. On its own, not terribly useful. Combine it with compounded multipliers, and it become quite a daunting boost.

Submit

I'm reasonably sure that using dragon stones doesn't count as wearing armor in terms of absorption, making dragon stones terrible. You take 25% extra damage for each piece of armor you're NOT wearing, so wearing no armor for the dragon stones means you take 100% extra damage (it's not multiplicative), basically like wearing the calamity ring. I'm pretty sure this is the case by comparing full dragon form to full master's attire, the weakest armor in the game. I took way more damage in dragon form. Needs proper testing.

Submit

Doesn't seem to affect pyromancies

Submit

In DS1 being a dragon at least enhanced the damage of your fists, changing also the animation, in this chapter dragon form is useless. On top of that the shiny stones do look cool, but their activation takes too long and do to few damage to be viable both in PvE and PvP, the only good thing that you can do in dragon form is roar to break someone's guard and riposte while buffed, but having to at least wear steel protection ring and thunder stoneplate is too much of a trade-off.

Submit

Dragon form is bad.Like... really bad.

Submit

It is at least fun, but it didn't go well for me to actually play the game as a dragon. Anyone else experience anything different?

Submit

Any info on the armour while in dragon form?

Submit

In Dark Souls, the dragon form had feather-looking crap on it.In Dark Souls 2 it just looked like armour.In Dark Souls 3 you look a bit like a demon, I do think it could have looked better but I personally didn't like 1's form and 2 didn't look like a dragon at all.I am beginning to grow on this new form for sure.

Submit

1: it looks dumb and weak like with normal armor i look like a badass hero but with the dragon form i look like a hobo dragon deer.2: it's garbage because the form is literally bad in protection the only thing it does is giving you new powers.3: you take just a much damage as if you didn't wear anything combine that with prisoner's chain and calamity ring and ng+-whatever and its insta-kill for most enemies.4: the form doesn't even scale with your charaters body like my character in normal form look like a muscular badass but with dragon form you are thine as a starving dog5: even if you are thine in dragon form you cannot even put any armor on you it would be ok if yo couldn't put a helmet on but not being able til put armor on i BS a it's finest i mean c'mon fromsoft making a thine dragon that cannot put armor is worthless6: the only cool thing about this fom is your abilities if you're like me who just wanted to be a badass dragon and use dragon powers then forget these worthless stones you're better off without them

Submit

I was thinking about a dragon form build.. What is the dragon scale?

Submit

Is this like dark souls 1 were you get no defensive stats added, or does the dragon transformation have its own stats like Dks2

Submit

did some testing with my weapons and it seems like the damage buff is closer to the ~25% range

Submit

calculated using raw astora + 6 . Riposte on hollows in cemetary of ashnormal: 1090using dragon roar buff: 1256equaling at 15% damage increase

Submit

I didn't see ANY damage increase using the buff with Great Chaos Fire Orb, but I was stacking every ring possible to increase damage as well...

Submit

it seems that using this boosts resistances a bit and acts as a form of armor any idea how strong this effect is if its actually there ?

Submit

Do you get Armour while being in the full transformation?

Submit

Look closely at your characters mouth, It opens and closes to mimic breathing... I only wish my little tail wagged

Submit

i've noticed that my charater who is male have mor spiral horns while another player i saw (character is probaly female) had more streched out versions

Submit

It's a trap. Don't do it

Submit

plz eat a cheeseburger man

Submit

why this dragon lookin like he just escaped a concentration camp

Submit

people are actually complaining about the design? it looks amazing. the variant that ds2 had functioned differently, but that armour is in this game too. utility wise, its the set from ds1 without any stat improvements (that im aware of).

Submit

Reminds me of those creepy weird black chickens

Submit

I liked the old DS2 looks better. Just an opinion and not a complaint.

Submit

Hi.Does anyone know if the dragon torso stone and the rest of the dragon set scales with any stat?

Submit

Showcase here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVDYWXv9EcU

Submit

wtf is this *****, it looks like a homeless poverty stricken dragon right out of the slums

Submit

Both dragon set from ds1 and ds3(which are from the same team?) sucks. Only the one in ds2 is badass.

Submit

Looks like a Wendigo almost.I'm a bit sore it looks awful but I can learn to love it. Perhapse they will patch it up and improve on design later in the future. Live and hope.

Submit

It looks like some crappy deer man you would find in bloodborne, I wanted to see the fierce some form from the first game

Submit

do they change with hairstyle or what?

Submit

Is anything ne else getting a seath vibe from this transformation? I mean I does look similar and all that. (And yes I'm just as disappointed as most of you hoping the dragon form would look cool)

Submit

I was expecting some awesome new transformation but it just looks like someone in a crappy deer fursuit
