My friend recommended this game to me and it's not been so hard, except for these motherfuckers. I hate these goddamn villains more than any enemy in any game. They are literally the hardest enemy in the game for me. It's not just them though. The spellcasting in this game is frustrating. The spells take too long to cast and an enemy has the ability to be in a spot where unless you free aim your spells you never hit them with the lock on. So they have to be kinda far away or right in your fucking face. /rant
I cheese the ones before Pinwheel by shooting them from a ledge, and the ones in the Painted World by abusing the ladders that lead down into the well. Only thing I have to cheese in the game, fuck them

Glad i'm not the only one. They're living nightmares.
>>331536081
they only bugged me inpainted world
fuck those pillars
>>331535157
Use the ledge skip to avoid them in the catacombs. Use the jump skip to avoid them in the Painted World. One and done.
>>331535157
ran through that place yesterday multiple times, no problem.
Its so satisfying how ridiculously easy this game gets on subsequent playthroughs

Truly the most underrated shield
>>331537073
artorias greatshield is literally the most broken item in the game.

Pinwheel was a fucking joke to me. The bonewheels gave me more trouble.
>>331537805
You know you can kill pinwheel with the starting stuff and levels? He is the easiest boss.
dark souls was only hard when i didnt know about i-frames
spells are just for nuking bosses

leeroy is a fucking madman
So im playing for the first time too and my friend flipped the fuck out when I tld him I level dex and now I seen alot of people bitching about it
Does it make the game more easy or is just a shit stat to dump points? I just put points in it because I got a nice sword with alot of bonus from dex
>>331538539
Play however you want. All builds are viable. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
>>331538489
Is there any lore on him? Why does he invade you before nito?
>>331538539
He's referencing some ebin meme, dex is fine and fun.
>>331538539
Which sword?
>>331538539
If you like the weapons dex gives you then go for dex.
>>331538539
Dex is for faggots
>>331538764
He went into the catacombs as the first undead created by the way of the white in hopes of defeating nito. He got lost in the tomb and wandered it for who knows how long. He eventually became starved for humanity and resorted to invading other worlds in hopes of not turning hollow. He doesn't succeed.
>>331536823
what sword is that
>>331535157
>they start rolling towards you
>strafe two steps to either side
>run up behind them and slice their bootyholes
They're really not hard. Your only responsibility is making sure you don't pull every fucking one, which is easily done by not dodging forwardly into the very room they occupy, and if you come out at the ledge, one of a few cheese strategy including, if not ranged or magic, just waiting for a bunch of them to be spinning into the base of the ledge beneath you and doing a plunge attack.

The sword from this guys. Also I just defeate dOrnstein an Smough and so far the game is not that hard, is mostly a test of pure patience which I like.
>>331539824
That's THE fucking best straight sword in the game and one of the top-tier weapons, your friend's a faggot
>>331539824
Ah the Balder Side Sword, it's definitely one of the better dex weapons, rare too.
>>331536823
hello qt pie
>>331539334
it is

>artorias greatshield is literally the most broken item in the game.
Okay, I realize this is hyperbole, but you're fucking crazy. That shield doesn't even come close to being as broken as DWGR, Darkmoon blade, or Pursuers.

Nah son.
