Engraved Gauntlets | Dark Souls 2 Wiki

These actually look pretty cool with a bone fist equipped as your main weapon.

I'd rather have a tiny flat buff than RNG. If a duel gets decided by luck, how is that fun for either party?

So it's effectively 1.5 x 0.05 + 0.95 = 1.025x dmg.
Less than 3% sustained damage boost, so pretty meh vs a tanky target like a boss.
Could be quite nice if it lets you one shot or get in a kill vs a mob before rolling occasionally due to a crit proc. And probably super annoying/surprising to have land on someone in PvP. I suppose it makes sense why they'd put this behind the only quest requiring killing an NPC.

Does it work with running attacks of lances ? If so, is it nice to use with them (I use heide lance for instance)?

Funnily enough, 5% is the same chance to crit as a certain 20 sided die

"Tests show that actual critical hit chance is closer to 15%."
Whoever did this test must have been INSANELY lucky. Using it myself with Ricard's Rapier, it really is around the 5% it's supposed to be.

It's heavy.

You can do good fashion souls with this. This + Grave Warden Bottom s + Red Lion Warrior Cape + Prisoner Hood (mouth only) look quite nice.

S scaling in usefulness, but E scaling in fashion

I love armor effects like this in ds2, makes the whole min-maxing idea alot more fun than in ds3, where you just get the best rings, spells, and weapons and that's pretty much it. At least in ds1 you had interesting mechanics like chaos damage scaling with humanity.

"It seems that weapons degrade faster while Engraved gauntlets are used."
The fact that no numbers or anything are actually shown made me wanna test this, so i decided to count each hit with and without the gauntlets using my dual wielded blacksteel katanas. I hit the wall until they were in risk without the gauntlets and it was exactly 90 hits so i assume at 100 hits they would break, i hit it again until they were in risk with the gauntlets and again, 90 hits, exact same. idk if it's different on actual enemies or something but I assume someone put that there to avoid players abusing the crit chance on pvp or something, im a pve player so idc

Using the Roaring Halberd and Dark Blade, crits cause me to 1-shot enemies I should absolutely not be 1-shotting. Absolutely insane damage.

These were helpful for beating bosses. Especially combined with sacred oath and a resin or spell infused weapon.

Submit

very useful but too ugly, aesthetically they combine with very few armor

Submit

I'm so conflicted with these. The defense to weight ratio is really bad, but I plan to start using a twinblade and my friends have said I would be crazy not to use these with it. I'm only mainly playing PvE, and the Red Iron TB already does insane amounts of damage faith infused with lightning. Decisions Decisions.

What does critical hit sound like

Submit

I never found these notably useful, most enemies die quickly anyway and bosses are a matter of pattern recognition and timing, crits arent very helpful, but poise sure is. These have no poise. Back to forlorn gloves

It is actually possible to miss the chance at the key for the door. How exactly is as follows; You let Creighton and Pete fight WITHOUT intervening on one or the others behalf at their climax. If you then go talk to the victor you will only be offered generic dialogue and no reward. Go figure huh. Also as a side note - You gain Sin by letting this happen. Not that it's a big deal as if you followed through with the quest line...you intended to kill one or the other.

Submit

completely exhausted petes and creightons dialogue both times and they just never showed up at tseldora, oh well, back to aurous glovies

this armor peice is almost identical to a part 8 JoJo's stand named Chocolate Disco
