Literally impossible
Git gud.
>>334174085
Roll forward in the first phase, run like a retard in the second one.
If you cast heal aid while he shoots his frost beam, it sends it right back to him and halves his health.

>>334174085
I just rolled around and hung around his back. It was kinda easy desu
>>334174085
That's not Pontiff
First phase is a breeze, don't stay in front of him for the second phase. He has very little health so more aggro and less caution is actually advised; it felt like a Bloodborne boss imo
Lolwhut?
I only died once to him, and the first boss killed me like 5 times.
Literally git gud, OP.
First try.
>Sit in his crotch
>Roll whenever he moves
>Keep him in the corner so ice beams do shit all
And that's how I beat him in one try.
Come talk to me when you get to the Abyss Watchers.
>>334174285
>Roll forward in the first phase, roll forward in the second one
fixed
>>334174628
are you me
are you also deprived?
I had to ditch the shield entirely to beat the tutorial boss, 'cause lol 40% damage blocking.
>>334174628
This. First boss is a fucking nightmare compared to this guy.
>>334174564
What is a bloodborne bossimo?
>>334174491
>Vordt is a classic DS boss
>literally moves at sanic speeds
????
>>334174085
One of the easiest bosses in the whole series. It's not like his moveset or damage is shit, but he's really lacking in HP. My +3 fire mace was hitting him for around 1/7 HP with one-handed charged power attack.
>>334174085
His second phase fucked me good, but pyro flame helped.
I'm terrible at these games and I still beat him on my first try. Just roll his attacks and hump his ass, don't respect his front range. You can even walk under him kinda and get some swings off before you need to back off and reset.
>>334174664
>this boss isn't hard for you because a later boss was hard for me
Ok
>people on this board ACTUALLY died to bosses before the pontiff
Jesus christ.
>>334174085
This is bait right.
If you want a first boss that is actually difficult try gascoigne.
>>334174818
You can literally cheese Votdt down. If you're having issues you're completely fucked for other bosses.
OP is fag
>>334174684
Nah I was a cleric.
Once I figured out it's better to dodge his attacks instead of blocking them, and that you could attack him while he transforms then it became pretty easy. Still hard as fuck for a first boss though, compared to the Assylum Demon of DS1.
>>334174085
lol what will happen to you when you'll have this boss as a regular mob later on
>>334174085
It's pretty much just BSB with ice and a mace.
git gud faget
I've literally never played any of these games btw
Umm, you DO have the Uchigatana and Covetous Silver Serpent Ring, right anon?
It would be unforgivable to leave Firelink without them
Also putting the Silver Serpent Ring at the start of the game was a genius idea, I can't imagine how much poorer I would be without it.
>>334174085
I died a ton to him on the second phase, but then again I didn't think to upgrade anything.
![meh.ro5228[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/9qhbutS.gif "meh.ro5228[1].gif")
>2nd phase happens
I was actually impressed on how little damage he dealt to me, I could block him nonstop and barely lose stamina
It's like /v/ has never played a Souls game
>>334174932
Ass Demon was a joke, mostly 'cause you take away 2/3 of it's health on the drop attack
I wish I learned how to do weapon arts before the first boss in DS3, though. Probably would've made it a lot easier if I could nuke him in his transformation.
>>334174324
>his frost beam
He has a frost beam?
Lmao what? just roll you fucking idiot.
We all agree that Dancer is the hardest boss, right?
>>334174694
Hyper aggressive, defensive approach is less effective, rushing them down is generally more successful. That's how BSB, Shadows and Moon Presence felt for me.
>Mfw so many people are spending hours on Vordt and Cursed Tree
How can people be so bad
>>334175001
Where do you find the serpent ring?
>>334174085
Nigga. Grab a fucking staff and magic his ass to death. They even give you an NPC summon that tanks and aggros like a champ to let you do it.
Motherfucker was so easy I felt bad for summoning an additional phantom. Guy got like 2 hits in before I killed it. At least he got an ember out of it.
>>334175001

Felt pretty good.
game takes a big jump in difficulty at Irithyll
Pontiff is near impossible
>>334175274
BB a best
>>334175176
this desu
Big disappoint after Bloodborne. Just compare cleric to piss easy gundyr, vordt and tree
>>334174085
At least get to Pontiff Sulyvahn before complaining. He's actually difficult. Not in the "so hard ecks dee" way Soulsfags pretend and circlejerk over, in the genuine fair difficulty way.
Easily my favorite fight of any DaS. BB had a few bosses this good, but BB is the king of good boss design.
>>334175312
same here bruh. I think I did more laps than Daytona 500.
>>334174085
That boss was so ridiculously easy that I think it´s broken.
When you keep as close as possible to him he almost can´t hit you. The only time I had to roll was when he speeds across the room a few times, then it was back to hugging him and beating him.
After the tutorial boss this really disappointed me.
>>334175028
Ass Demon is indeed a joke to a Souls veteran, but if it's your first Souls game then it's a pretty good boss fight to show you what you can expect. Somehow I doubt people who've never touched a Souls game won't die at least 20 times to the first DS3 boss. They might even refund the game before they can get any further.
I think it would've been a better 2nd or 3rd boss.
please, the abyss watchers are much worse
>think it's easy and that you've killed them
>cutscene
fuck
>>334175363
LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE
>>334174085

Literally stay under his ass the first phase
Bait lunging attacks
>>334175412
If he had more health that would be the case, but as it stands anyone can just get up in his face, spam R1 and chug estus.
>>334175412
When I was new to souls, I was showing my friends the tutorial area, and letting them play it.
They'd always be anxious as to what's behind that fog gate before the boss, and I wouldn't tell them.
But, then as soon as they enter, and they see the big beast, I'm quick to say "Don't worry. He can't get you when you're up there."
Every fucking time, they do a big sigh of relief as they gather them self, and then have the biggest oh shit moment of their life as the Demon flies up, and crushes them with his mace.
>>334174085
HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA
>>334175470
I just baited him out from far a way to make him do his attacks with lots of ending lag, then took 2 pot shots and repeat.
So much rage was had though with those FUCKING EXTENDED HITBOXES ON HIS FIRE SWINGS
>Hit you with sword
>Stunlock
>Backup into fire
>Stunlock
>Hits you again
>Rape repeats
>>334174085
That's nothing OP, hell is just 3 area away from that place
>Poison deep swamp and slow as fuck
>Dragon summoning red angry heads
>Curse toads
>Where the fuck is the 3 fireplace
Fuck this place, it's way worse than Blighttown
fucking babbies ITT
>>334175157
>>334175150
I admit I actually lied since whilst I did find the area it's in, I didn't find the ring itself until I came back later.
If you go out of the shrine to the left (at the upper level) you'll see a tower that's locked. In front of it is a white tree and a roof just next to it - you can actually run up the tree and jump off it to get on the roof, giving you the lower access to the crow traders in the rafters. It's tricky, but possible and probably intended for persistent players.
One of the rafters leads to a "dead end".
If you purchased the 20000s key then you can just use the ladder and drop down.

>>334174085
That was easier than the tutorial boss, beat it on first try. In fact my first death was at Abyss Watchers, this is by far the easiest Dark Souls
Someone share with me the secret to making spears not ass. Only good for poking black knights.
>>334175674
HEY ANON DO YOU LIKE FATROLLING THROUGH AN ENDLESS SWAMP WHILST BASILISKS FART ON YOU?
Me too, now here's le balanced goat of relentless grab attacks.
>>334175617
you evil son of a bitch
>>334175363
Glad he has really good fight music or I would have gotten more frustrated over the ~30 attempts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJSiaf9m55s
Seriously I died more to this guy than all the other bosses combined, excluding King of the Storm and the prince bros, who are also hard, but at least the King is optional and the brothers have a trick/strategy to them. Pontiff is just a relentless monster.
>>334175731
>Tfw made it through the entire area without getting invaded once
I died to him once then i realised he was sif. Roll under his belly, slap his fat thighs.
>>334175578
I helped about 5 people with this boss with the same weapon, amusing the look of astonishment.
>>334175674
So its basically valley of defilement?
>>334175803
>having trouble with fucking crystal sage
>>334175817
their range is way bigger than you think, abuse that
>>334175834
fuck that fucking goat
>>334174085
you just suck. I one-turned him just an hour or so ago as a dick-ass thief. Stay at his feet in turn 1, rolling under his swings, wail away. Phase two you avoid his charges by rolling to the side and employing hit and run tactics.
>>334175674
When you realize the poison does negligible damage it becomes a lot less stressful
I've been loving every boss so far but man the Deacons of the Deep are fucking lame. Not particularly hard, though I did panic and die once. Absolutely fantastic in design and appearance, but fuck its a slog to fight through.
Why are the bosses so shit?
What is point of armor this time? It's tissue paper that takes up half your equip load.
One of my buddies got this game with me, it's his first souls game. And he's making progress but getting Killeen multiple times on each boss.
If you've never played a game like DaS 3 the bosses are very punishing. But I think it's at a good level.
Did anyone start off as a thief?
>>334175946
Fashion rags or pump dat vit for fashion leather.
>>334175847
No anon, these fucks and 1 magic spamming invader
>>334174085
>He didn't summon 2 niggas to help him
top kek
i literally killed this mofo with no estus in less than 1 minute
>>334174085
This was my first try. Got him on my second. Where do I get the claymore? I'm still on starting gear
>>334175946
Fashion, as it always has been.
Are there i-frames when you shoot a bow now? I realised it when fighting this boss, he would run forward at me and use his thrust attack, but as the animation for shooting the bow finished, I didn't even get hit
I just beat this boss last night so it's very fresh in my head. What worked for me was not locking on, just like with BSB. It gives you that much of a speed increase to dodge his swipe attacks and hit him in the dick repeatedly.
>>334175674
The worst part about the swamp is THE FUCKING NPC INVASION
>oh, you think I have a limit on my stamina or mana?
>lol
Literally just didn't bother using ember and ran past the area.
How should I upgrade my Uchigatana?
>>334175817
Abuse their range and ability to fuck shields. Abuse their rolling-slashes since that's their one attack that isn't just poking.
I mean that's what spears are anon, they're boring but effective in any scenario. Frankly I wouldn't bother, Scythes are super good now and they provide reach and crowd control. Halberds have always been good-spears. The Partizan is pretty fun.
That being said
>have Corvo's scythe
>wade into a group of 10 mushrooms
>instantly bleed myself out
I really really hate the Lifehunt mechanic but this thing is so fucking edgy I can't help myself.
>>334174085
wut, I beat this guy first time, just grip close and spin around and I don't think he actually got any health off me
>>334175617
I had my sister play through the beginning of dead space.
>mfw watching her screaming seeing the shit go down on the other side of the glass
>mfw they start coming out of the vents
>>334174664
>Abyss Watchers
>not easy as fuck
So how do I make my character not look hollowed or completely burnt?
He looked fine before
>>334175862
I didn't upgrade my weapons up at all up to him, so I was only getting a couple of hits in between teleports.
You can only dodge so many fucking magic projectiles from 4 niggas before you get hit, and by the time I'd get his health down to a decent amount I'd be out of estus.
>>334176015
>claymore
it's one of the items just under the dragon int he high wall of lothric. You can just run across the fire and pick up the stuff.
I don't like it nearly as much as the DaS version though, with the R2 being a lunge rather than a swing
Is this the best Souls game?
>>334176015
Find it on the battlement where the dragon shoots flame
>>334175938
Actually, this one has some good bosses, but DaS bosses are generally shit. They're usually about figuring out a pattern/gimmick instead of anything organic.
Bloodborne had a lot more fights with fast, strong, fair enemies like Gascoigne. We usually only get one of those in any DaS game, this one has a few, like the previously mentioned Pontiff.
>>334176015
To get the claymore you stand underneath where that dragon who breathes fire and run forward until you see the wall
>>334175946
Fashion. 90% of Fallen Knights agree!
That said we should see how Poise works out, if it's back to DaS1's stagger breakpoints, and isn't back to DaS2 hyper armor bullshit, then it has a purpose.
That said, you're right, in a game with Flynn's Ring, armor needs to be justified choice or you are just intentionally gimping yourself.
>>334175274
>Copy bosses from game nobody has played
>Put them in new game which everyone will play
At least they're pretty smart about it.
>>334176032
Sharp if you have way more dex than strength, butcif you're quality just keep going the normal path
Or stack luck and make a hollow weapon.
>>334175817
>>334176048
I make good use of a spear for pvp, getting people down to 15 hp just for them to run and drink before i can swing my great hammer. Running spear attacks can punish everything but the lightest of the light rolls.
Who /knight/ here??
>First phase
>Roll literally right through his attacks and through him
>Attack his butt
>Second phase

>All these people having trouble with Pontiff.

Did you guys never fight Artorias or Fume Knight? These fights are what make Dank Souls great.
>>334176331
My Brethren.
>Made Wolf Greatsword
>20% damage against Abyssal enemies
What the fuck constitutes as an Abyssal enemy?
Also, if a weapon's damage says 100 + 60, is it 160? I'm confused as to how that works, why not just say 160?
Why is it so hard as a more magic based character in the beginning? Casting is so slow and the mp pool is too small.
>>334176331
Who /ezmode/ here??
I didn't look at the armor values of the Knight's set, but I chose deprived, and have a few of the Knight armor pieces from the Undead Settlement knights, and with the 100% shield I also found I feel way better than having that shit handed to me.
>>334176410
100 base damage + 60 scaling damage based upon your stats for 160,
>>334176331
Fuck yeah. Rolling sucks with my knight armor and Vordt hammer but its worth it.
Nigga I'm on ng +7, sl 1 deprived, broken straight sword and naked. Haven't died yet literally git gud.
Why is this game so easy? Blunder of the century.
>>334176410
100 base with 60 bonus from scaling (your stats)
>>334176479
Ty anon
>>334176410
The 60 shows how much you're gaining from scaling. You never noticed that in previous games?
>>334176430
Magic makes the game easier that's why
>>334175964
I began as a Thief, but only because I wanted the most gimp faith stat. I ditched all my weapons and armor because I wanted the Deprived experience.
This turned out to be a pretty shitty idea since there were no weapon pickups like in the previous games. Had to fist assholes before he first boss until they dropped a broken shortsword or whatever.
>>334176331
You mean to say who /80% of people picked this generic class/ here?
>>334176410
I think the + 60 is what your stats add to the damage
>>334175176
I also just beat Abyss Watchers and Dark Souls 3 has to be the easiest Souls game yet. In BB I was stuck for hours on Bloodstarved Beast, but I one shot the tree in DS3. I was hyped after seeing people talk about Abyss Watchers a bit, but it's just Maria 2.0. Looks pretty cool and I like the first phase, but they have zero poise. Also able to be backstabbed and parried because zero poise bosses aren't easy enough.
PUSSIES ROLL KNIGHTS
>>334176241
Maybe I was shit at Demon's Souls, but I remember armor actually mattering there. Like I felt pretty beefy in a full set of Mirdan.
Same goes for Bloodborne, you can become a god tank with enough defense, but a lot of that came from levels and there's no armor weight to worry about.
>>334176031
If you kill the npc invasion near the crabs you get his cool mushroom hat and pickaxe
>>334174085

>>334176430
>using magic
Fag
>>334176032
Immediately make it Raw -> Normal if you have enough Dex to outdamage Raw -> Sharp if you have enough dex to outdamage normal.
That's pretty much everyone's first weapon in the game.
If you're doing a quality build and just want the katana as an option, Refined might actually work better.
It will tell you the numbers yourself so you just need to work it out.
I'm pretty sure Bleed is as worthless as always.
Seriously the Uchigatana really wrecks enemies early on, so many of those beefy enemies get killed in a single four-hit combo because they get bleed out. Evangelists, Parsley Chopper men, Screaming Jesus dudes, they all melt to it.
>Blood Starved Beast is literally the first real boss in the game
JESUS FUCK. Fighting him as pure melee is fucking suffering.
>Goes into second phase
>Suddenly all of his attacks have an aoe on them
>his ice slide is instant death if you're in close range.
>Staying under his belly is instant death
I regeret not going pyromancy, I could just spam him down with fireballs during the second phase.
I've seen a number of comments about first boss being harder.
It depends, really. Once you reach the Shrine, your class doesn't matter for shit, but if you start as a Thief, Deprived, or a few others, Gundyr with fuck your shit up, but Warriors and Knights have an easy as fuck time with him.
>>334176410
Abyssal is any humanoid with red eyes and a few other things.
I literally beat this boss on my first try without any Estus Flasks. Seriously just roll from his attacks and attack his butt.
He has such low health you only need to attack him a few times so don't get greedy and you're golden.
>>334176552

DeS and BB are by a different director than DaS. There's a lot of subtle differences between the two branches of the souls series, one of them being how fucking worthless armor is in DaS.

That boss serves as a teacher of an advanced strategy that is, to not use a shield.
Am I legit being trolled?

He has so many safe spots under and behind him. The only attacks that cause him to do a full swivel/readjust have a really long wind-up. Pic semi-related
>>334175674
poison does fuck all damage in this game, same goes for enemies, it was borken in dark souls 2 but here it's fucking useless
>>334176782
It's how I've seen everyone talk when they want to shit post and claim the game is 10 hours long or whatever.
I'm a PCuck and I don't get the point of posting like that. Who are they trying to impress, who do they think will care?
>>334176969
The only reason I hate that fucking tree is the infinite adds its spawns. I realize it crushes them too, but fuck all are they annoying.

When do I get a better DEX weapon than the Uchigatana?
I already cleared Cathedral and I'm at Farron Keep and I still haven't found anything that would be better than a Sharp Uchi +3

It actually matters for the fashion or sometimes the weapon
Most armor can't be acquired until really late like the herald armor, same for some weapons. I still haven't found the knight set

In DaS1 I recall armor was mostly pointless for damage mitigation, but you had specific poise numbers you could mix and match for and it would guarantee that you could prevent yourself getting stunlocked by the first hit of a one-handed greatsword etc. etc.
Whilst the poise breakpoints were never listed in game (obviously), it did mean you had something to go off when deciding what to wear and you had matchups. It was quite clear how to optimise and it still let you do fashion.
In Dark Souls 2 they completely fucked it for this retarded and EVEN MORE OBFUSCATED hyper armor bullshit. In contrast armor does make you tankier, but it just meant everyone in Havels trading hits until somebody dies. Hot garbage and you got stunlocked by dagger hits so it breaks immersion super hard. Armor there was more about damage reduction to compensate for it.
I think generally high defense armor compensates for easier stunlocks. If you can avoid getting stunlocked, the design decision is that damage reduction isn't as strong in return.
In DaS3 thus far it seems it's very hard to get stunlocked, as you typically get a window to roll out. So far I haven't been able to just walk through an enemy attack but it hasn't therefore lead to my doom.
Needs more testing I guess, but in general if armor is now pointless and redundant then it may funnily enough be the best for game balance and fashion.

It only applies when you take a hit and you're in the middle of an attack animation

I'll look again, I only saw the one on the stomach.

try staying close to him. it's hard for him to hit you if you get under him. I was struggling until one run where I fucked up the approach to the boss room, went in down an estus, and thought I'd try playing aggressive since I was planing to just retrieve my souls and see how far I could get. I killed him using only 1 estus, when getting as close as possible
Literally impossible

You already passed one, Exile's Greatsword
>>334177218
Just run around and hit it a few times until it kills all the enemies on it's own, when you're in the lower part of the boss room you can literally just stunlock it by hitting the front and then hitting the leg and then hitting the front and so on
>>334177196
arms, legs, ass
destroying the stomach one brings the fight into the 2nd phase where you don't have to worry about mobs but have the mutant arm. they respawn after some time
Where can I find a pyromancer glove can anyone help I'm already at the catacombs.

If he isn't there anymore, Yes. Should had bought the armor from patches and gave him back

when the actual deacon comes thru and they do that charge black magic honing missile shit. fucked my world full health and it one shotted me. granted i was summon so a bit of reduced health

If have unlocked patches kill that mofo and siegward will proceed to the Irythill dungeons where you must free him, after that summon him for the Yhorm fight

The music and atmosphere is 10/10
So like in general what should i be putting points into? i'm going just a sword and shield kinda guy
>>334176957
The funny thing is that was the first goat enemy I saw so I assumed the rest would be as brutal. What a relief.
But yeah having Capra Demon's little brother rape your face and then turn red is not nice.
Thankfully they run into fire and kill themselves like the rest. That's a tip for any of you in the swamp - just kite the mobs into an open fire and they will cook. Not sure about the big mamma goats that shoot pursuers at you.
>>334177318
Is it really that good?
The bleed on the Uchi makes damage so damn high so it's hard for me to find something that tops it
how do I get armor in this game
just killing knights until they drop their armor or what
>>334174085
rolling forward - the game
>>334177402
so you're saying I should go to firelink and kill patches?
>>334177428
Endurance and vigor are most important.
I didn't have any trouble until this guy. A miniboss killed me 8 fucking times.
>>334174085
He's actually a lot easier than you think. Roll underneath him when he sweeps, when he's enraged, you dodge to the side, when he charges his breath attack, you keep hitting him while staying behind him.
Is this game a lot easier than the others?, except for a few DeS bosses
I'm not really good at souls games, but out of 7 bosses only one took me more than one try
I don't really want the Souls games to be LE SUPER HARD GAMES anyway, but most bosses are just slow and boring and not fun to fight
>>334177461
Start as a knight like everyone else :^)
You can find it or buy it as you play, but the game won't be drowning you in equipment.

It's good, but it's heavy. I'm using the knight helmet that drops, and the rest of the set is mix match pieces of light/cloth armor I've picked up throughout.

Those ratings are pretty accurate. The second half of the game makes the first half look like a tutorial.
Wheres the Faraam armor set?

When do they let you upgrade armor?

It never grabbed me but it fucking stomp stunlocked me to death, which surprised the shit out of me
>>334177447
He's fucking with you, it's a quality weapon
>>334177605
As far as I could tell, it lowers stamina recovery speed
>>334177605
Yeah I was frost bitten as well but I didn't die. I presume it probably just did a chunk of damage, sort of like frenzy in Bloodborne.

Demons Souls had armour matter the least out of any game in the series.
Because it added a flat defense increase, but you also got a defense increase every time you leveled up, so by late-game armour was only contributing a small % of your total defense. It was never worth it to fatroll and fashion/poison/bleed resistance were the only reasons to choose armour (in that order).
Dark Souls "fixed" this issue by allowing you to level up armour so it's defense grew with you.
BB and DaS3 changed how armour works, I'm not 100% sure how, but it's setup so it's always as equally effective and doesn't become redundant through leveling.
That's not to say armour will matter though, as long as you are under 70% and have at least SOMETHING in each slot (naked in a slot gives a huge defense debuff) fashion as status effects are all that matter.
Also poise, but I don't think there's conclusive evidence on how it works yet. It ain't like DaS1, that's for sure.
>>334177142
pontiff isnt a real boss you shitter
he takes full damage while summoning clone so you can kill it before it even attacks and damage him for free
also you can parry him auto joke boss
Maybe I just got lucky but I just stayed directly underneath him and mashed the attack button. I think I only got hit once the whole fight.
>>334177428
Rule of stats is:
- Get stats for the minimum requirements any weapons you want to use. 16 Strength and 18 Dex are quite good for using most of the early-game selection. You don't need to worry about stat scaling until later.
- (optional) If you want to use spells, get Attunement/Faith/Int respectively. For example I have 14 attunement, 10 Int and 12 faith which gives me access to low level sorceries and miracles. They aren't strong, they just mean I have a bit more utility.
- Anything else, throw in Vigor. If you need to level up but have no specific stat you need, it goes in health. Eventually there's a soft cap but idk where that is just yet.
Then if you feel you need more equip load or stamina, you upgrade as needed.
Avoid Luck, it's a deliberate gimmick stat.
the tree boss needs to do more damage with his poison pools or whatever.
I literally didn't even notice they were hitting me for any damage until almost the end of the fight.
And, I stood in them for a good amount of time.
>>334177536
I find the bosses pretty mindless. Most of my trouble comes from the later multiple enemy encounters between. It only takes them a single hit to stagger me whereas I need 2-3 to stagger just one of them.
FUCK THE CATACOMBS

I noticed I couldn't lock on when I was approaching it, so I assumed it wasn't an immediate threat and then you get closer and the talk button prompts you.
'cause I was lock on spamming in the room with those bodies hanging, and when those cage body dudes are around.
