Having a lot of fun with it. Keep getting fucked in the ass in his second phase though.

How's he nameless if that's his name
Manus is a close second but Dancer really takes the cake
I beat Ornstein & Smough for the first time today and I just needed to tell someone.
Will any other boss victory give me this much of a rush? Because I can't remember the last time a video game made me feel that good.

Too hard huh?
What's with the matchmaking in this game? I'm not getting invaded at all.
>>334240259
beat him on my 4th try,too much artificial difficulty desu
>Mfw Big Match YHORM
Didn't notice thesworduntil after I beat him. The music, thetag-teaming, the fucking EXPLOSIONS, everything. 10/10 boss, doesn't matter what anyone else says.

Nameless King was by far the best boss. Probably the best boss in the series.
>>334240372
>he didn't use thesword
Holy shit man, how long did that take you? The thing does like a fifth of his health for you
Deacons of the Deep for the music
Pontiff Sulyvahn for the fight itself
>>334240353
There is no artificial difficulty, you just suck.
>>334236750
>A gank boss where they can be sometimes busy fighting each other
Holy fuck this is FUCKING AWESOME.
>Turns into a single 1v1 fight where it just has added fire hitboxes on the ends of its attacks.
Way to fuck it up.
>>334240337
No reason to invade.
Blame people who have 2-3 phantoms all the time and just waste our time causing us to give up
I've gotten up to Aldritch so far, but Pontiff Sulyvahn was pretty good.
>>334240039
You get teleported to the boss room after you beat your 3rd lord of cinder
>>334238318
I just beat them
second phase was tricky, it came down to conserving estus in the first phase
I didnt want to summon or use an ember so my health was kinda small but I had 8 estus sips
>>334236750
How do you get that gesture?
Flamelurker.
Fuck you.

>>334241098
Is there betrayal consequences?
>>334240532
Notice how I mentioned thetag-team. Standing back with arrows aimed to the face got me somewhere, and switching to my Claymore to get a couple close-up hiys in got me so far, until he went into phase two, turned my way ignoring the buddy, and got fucking PISSED.
Fucking seriously though, that phase 2 music. With him thrashing all over the place and destroying half the area in time with it all. Favourite boss battle in any souls game almost for that shit alone. https://youtu.be/LjzijSJa9YY?t=2m7s
>>334241286
>Summoning for Yhorm
But he's piss easy if you just use the sword though. Did the summon have it equipped?
Sell me on Dark Souls 3 /v/. I actually really liked DSII pre lightning nerf, I actually bought it on the premise of being able to shoot lightning. When I got the Sunlight lightning miracle I was fucking hyped, it was so OP against bosses and I was having a fucking blast shooting bolts with the Kings set but the patch had completely gimped my fun.
How good are the lightning spells in DSIII?
>>334241484It wasn't a summon.
Watch at your own risk anon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IolJ6lJJrI
If you haven't reached Yhorm I'd advice against it.

Aldritch is so disapointing
>>334242031
I enjoyed themoonlight butterfly theme
>>334236750
literally the worst boss in the Souls franchise.
good bosses are playable as any normal build, this faggot requires you to be a shitty dex fag.
>>334242158
>being this fucking trash
The first phase you literally don't even need to hit him. He's just another easy boss in the second phase.
>>334242274
I literally have not had any trouble with any other bosses in the Souls games.
the "hard" ones like S&O, Fume Knight, Artorias, etc were easy for me.
This faggot just annoys the shit out of me, there's not enough stamina to roll for all his shit and his flame spin can take all your health in one go.
>>334242115
I did too.
But aldritch was just using him as a puppet. I thought the second phase we would face the entirety of Aldrich but nope just more of the puppet.
It takes like 5 levels to get to him too
>>334240337
People realized day one and two that invaded was ruined in the game so no one will probably invade for a year or two or however long it takes for people to not have three babysitters with them 24/7
>>334242158
>>334242390
please stop raping literally
>>334242437
I'm literally using it properly though.
Skelly Lord worse boss.
>>334242390
You don't need to roll in the first phase. Just keep running in circles. The second phase you just need to roll to the right once or twice depending on his attacks. Quit being fucking bad. Hell just equip a fucking shield and block if you suck this much.
>>334242419
That's not what happens.
It's the same as dark souls 1 with sentinels for those who don't want to PvP.
Except this your signs wont constantly fail
WHERE DOES HIS HELMET ENDS AND HIS HAIR BEGINS
IT BOTHERS ME MORE THAN IT SHOULD
>>334242542
The white is hair
>>334242489
>equip a shield
how about no.
I get to his second phase with full health and estus but then his fucking fire spin kills me in one.
Is there some new rolling mechanic I don't know about, like how you got extra i-frames in DaS2 by leveling an attribute?
>>334242603
You get extra iframes by not being shit. He can only swing in one direction. Stop being bad.
>>334242664
>dude stop being shit lmao
and people wonder why the souls fanbase is shit.
I'm a good player, my build is just getting fucked over by this guy.
I'll see his attack coming, roll out of it and it will keep coming and one shot me.
>>334241873
Maria had three phases, so Maria was better. Though Abyss Watchers had a cooler gimmick at the start.
>>334242603
Just don't suck
It's not a hard fight. If you think he's hard you'll never make it passed the boreal valley
>>334236750
Anyone know a good way to get sharp gems?
>>334242750
You know you can cancel rolls into rolls right? Clearly not. You're just really fucking bad.
>>334242750
R u heavy rolling
>>334242813
The Dex fag skeletons in the Catacombs drop them
>>334236750
What's the scaling like on the dancers enchanted swords? don't feel like wasting the titanite to find out.
>>334242853
>R u heavy rolling
no, I'm using robes to compensate for my huge club's weight
>>334242769
Why is there no hint of the Lord Souls or corrupted abyss monsters like 4 Kings or Manus?
It's just like "this Lord of Cinder took over this place and this demon took over this place"
>>334242750
>I'm a good player, I just Suck at the game.
Every boss can be beaten with any build. If you suck that bad just summon someone.
Can you parry and backstab the guys with pots in the unread settlement?
>>334236750
Eh. He's an okay fight.
>>334238318
Literally just backstab him once and then stunlock him even a normal sword does the job easiest boss in the game
>>334243185
>>334242836
just beat him.
turns out rolling from every attack is pointless, I just spammed light attack and won.
Thanks for the good advice.
Lorian / Lothric is maybe the best boss From has ever done.
Last boss was fantastic too.

>>334236750
Anyone else just like to play and read the lore?
This git gud stigma makes me feel like I'm talking to teenagers.
Oh wait
>>334243981
I just beat him with a plus 3 claymore which is supposed to be shit. Git gud.
>>334244168
what weapon is it that does the berserk stance? or that spinning ground stance?
>>334242490
There's just no real reason to invade now. All the incentive is completely gone now, aside from the pure satisfaction of being a huge dick to people.
And when every invasion attempt puts you up against the host and 2 phantoms, that doesn't really hold up anymore unless you're really goddamn good.
>>334242769
Abyss watchers, thematically, is a much better fight.
You enter the room to see two watchers fighting it out, one seemingly killing the other then facing you.
Later, an abyss watcher rises to assist the boss watcher, and after that another rises corrupted by the abyss attacking anything that moves. Both watchers will prioritize the abyss corrupted watcher over you (unless you re aggro them) because the abyss is a more serious threat to humanity.
After you defeat him (first phase), all of the watchers give up their lives to lend their power to their boss, who goes soul of cinder mode to take you down.
It's a fucking awesome fight, and way better presentation than Maria.
They're both piss easy so difficulty doesn't matter.
I'm not far in Dark Souls 3, so I can't judge the bosses in it yet.
But I'll never forget fighting Gwyn in my first playthrough, when I didn't know about parrying him to death. Beating him for the first time the hard way is still my favorite memory I have in a Souls game, I felt like a fucking God. I still don't parry him when I fight him just because I feel like it makes it more fun.
>>334244427
It's the same reason as any other game in the series: humanity (embers), souls and covenant rewards.
The real reason >>334240337 isn't getting invaded often is because invasions prioritize people with phantoms. A solution to this is just to pop your Dried Finger which you can buy from the Hag for 2000 and you'll be put in priority and get invaded a ton.
>>334236750
Most fun has been Yorgh the Giant.
Sunbroing him after killing him is fucking awesome.
General Grievous with the Purple Haze Stand is probably the toughest so far.
Can you kill the firekeeper?
>>334236750
So far I've loved this fight and Dancer of the Frigid Valley
>>334236750
The intro sequence is pretty good, and a lot like Artorias. But the fight itself is a gank in the first stage, and a full on assault in the second.
I was facing 3 of him in he first stage and the would fight each other unless they were all bunched up. Ended up running around just trying to avoid damage. Second phase was easier. Just one guy with a flaming sword with a bunch of telegraphed attacks which are easy to read.
>>334244634
Except Embers are much easier to keep now since there's no soft/hard system like humanity had, and they don't provide any sort of extra bonus or purpose aside from getting into Cinder mode. What's more the invader also has to deal with losing his own souls if he loses, and having to go to the spot they died in the host's world to get them.
Plop all that on top of the constant gangbangathon every invader is likely to walk into and its no big surprise people aren't happily lining up to invade right now.
>try invading
>get ganked by like 4 people
>use red summon sign
>get summoned in 10 seconds
>1v1 honourabu fight, actually fun
red eye orb is useless this time around
Every once in a while you'll get an asshole who uses his estus despite having purposefully summoned you through a red sign, or even someone who goes and summons two more people. But they're few and far in between. Undead hunter charms or whatever they're called really put the faggots in their place.
What can I expect from the catacombs? And should I do the cathedral area first?
>>334238569
And I'd happily do it again!
>>334245280
misery.
i did cathedral first, I would recommend that
>>334245184
>Except Embers are much easier to keep now since there's no soft/hard system like humanity had
Not really relevant. Ember mode lasts until death just like human form did.
>and they don't provide any sort of extra bonus or purpose aside from getting into Cinder mode
30% health is a pretty big bonus.
>What's more the invader also has to deal with losing his own souls if he loses, and having to go to the spot they died in the host's world to get them.
Just like Dark Souls 1.
There's plenty of people invading. Pop your
dried finger and see for yourself.
Is it just me or are souls harder to gather this time? Any effective methods?
>>334245486
Is DaS3 fun?
>>334245507
Of course not. I'm playing it to be ironic.
>>334245486
souls start out low as fuck but ramp up near the half way mark.
>>334245252
Where's the red soapstone?
I feel like I'm near the end of the game. At Archdragon Peak and only have about 15 hours in right now. But I'm assuming Archdragon Peak is a side area since I stopped climbing Lothric Castle.
>>334245737
Cathedral of the Deep. Right outside of the entrance to the red covenant there's an enemy that drops it when you kill him.
>>334245843
I'm at 15 hours and I just got to Irithyll. Are you just running through?
High Lord Wolnir was a mediocre fight but I loved the presentation. A huge ass skelly clawing his way out of the Abyss.
>>334245565
You'll never get anywhere with that level of sass.
>>334245906
I don't think so. The only way to track my progress on things I've done is through the steam achievements, and based on those I seem to have gotten all the side areas, and I actively clear out every area in the game, I might have missed a few places here and there but I'm playing it like I've played every souls before it. DaS took me 70 hours to beat first time, DaS2 took about 30 and BB took about 40. It's odd because I feel like I'm missing things, but at the same time I don't feel like I am which is weird. Although I haven't struggled with this game or gotten stuck on a boss, that could be the case too. Most I've died to a boss was 3 times to Dancer. I did miss some characters and their stories though, so that could be another part of it.
>>334236750
Fuck Wolnir. Seriously fuck that guy.
The pontiff killed me a lot but once I mastered him it was easy.
Got to Aldrich a bit ago but haven't beaten him myself yet. I've killed him twice via summons though.
Every other boss felt like easy mode so far. I've only died to them because of being low on estus before I got to them.
Nothing is as bad as DS2 infinite stamina spammer fags so far. These feel like the easiest fights in the series.
>>334240550
mad props to Deacons for being an actually well thought out and interesting mob fight.
>>334245964
He's the most fly fucking skele in any Souls game
You gotta take the niggas bling to put him to rest
>steamroll ng and ng+ solo gg ez
>decide i want to do my part and keep the online alive
>die multiple times to every boss when even just one phantom has been summoned, usually within 1-2 hits

What the fuck is happening
HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL WOLNIR
I'M SMACKING HIS WRISTS FOR 400~ DAMAGE A SWING AND HIS HEALTH BARELY MOVES
THAT BREATH ATTACK INSTAKILLS ME
AND THEN I GET MOBBED
AND THEN HE PULLS A SWORD OUT OF HIS ASS
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>334247448
WE WAS SKELETON LORDZ AND SHIT
>>334247663
Hit the bracelets dude.
I found them disappointing. I beat the game already on PS4, and these guys were just boring to me. Theme was great though
.
>>334247663
Attack same wrist, escape fog backwards. Hitting same wrist staggers and makes him jump back. Let him kill the skelly adds.
>>334236750
>it's another muh feels boss with weeaboo knights
Wonderful.
>>334247663
Break his right bracelet off first since it's harder later on in the fight. Just calmly attack his left arm bracelets then and walk back. The only time you should be running towards his torso is if he's about to catch you with a breath attack and you need to dodge under his head.
If he summons a mob of skeles, just dodge back and let his arm swings and breath kill them for you
>>334238569
Most overrated boss in Souls history. All story. no gameplay.
The fat ass and the furfag.
>>334240372
Kinda lame thatSiegwardmade the fight a complete joke.
Am I doing something wrong? I got the game last night and I'm already at Catacombs of Carthus, and according to a guide that's kind of far into the game.
>>334245409
>Just like Dark Souls 1.
No, your bloodstain shows up where you invaded from in your world - most likely next to a bonfire. In DS3 you have to actually go to where you died in the host's world to retrieve your bloodstain.
>>334247663
wolnir is the easiest boss, ok.
so easy, just stand to the very far corner of the map, he literally cannot hit you there, and when he vomits out that poison cloud shit, just go behind near his shoulders
easy peasy
>>334248021
You've probably skipped quite a few optional areas. I'm at 50 hours and JUST beat the boss of the Catacombs,Wolnir.
Have you found theSmouldering Lakebelow the Catacombs yet too? Tons of shit down there. Not to mention all the other optional areas earlier in the game.
>>334248021
you may have missed some stuff, but you're fine.
The game moves up in difficulty so you'll slow down soon.
And if you have made it to the wooden bridge,Stand on the far end and cut the ropes. Trust me.
>>334247898
The Sony exclusive Souls games are the most overrated for a reason, anon.
>>334248360
Wooden Bridge? You mean the one in Undead Settlement? Ijust got to catacombs no less than 5 minutes ago.
>>334248435
okay, it's at the end of the catacombs.
did you fight the Cursed Rotten Greatwood after the undead settlement?
he's an optional boss you kill if you want to make boss soul weapons.he's shit. Bed of Chaos 2.0
>>334247849
>muh feels
>implying the boss making a respectful gesture to you before starting the fight is somehow feels-inducing
It was neat, but not really feels. Also, I don't see how they're weeaboo knights. There's nothing even vaguely japanesey about their appearance or their moveset.
>>334248435
Not that guy, but no, the bridge in the Catacombs. You'll know it when you see it. Make sure you cut it on the other side of the room from where you come in, and then see what happens.
>got the first phase down to where i can get him to easily repeat 2 attacks constantly
>die in 1 combo during second phase
how come 1 hit from him takes off 60% of my health
>>334248561
Yeah, I fought him with 2 people, I couldn't beat him alone.
>>334248563
>anime image poster makes retarded comments
Nothing else new here anon, you should know to ignore those people by now.
I love the look of the Undead Legion. I wish their helmets weren't so pointy though.

I wish i could experience it if i could FIND the fucking thing, I've been running around forever and cant for the life of me find him.
Which area should i go from?
Fuck Katana Kenny outside of Firelink.
faggot was my first death and killed me 5 times.
>>334248705
Same here. I just ended up making him fall off the ledge then quitting+reloading in classic Souls fashion to get his Uchigatana to spawn where he normally is. It was too early in the game for me to get the parry timing right.
It's not even a good weapon in this game, oh well.
>>334248701
find the sowrd or the boss?
From the profaned capital bonfire, go down the ladder then the long ramp with the gargoyle at the end.
The sword is in the boss chamber.You should free your onionbro from the prison cell first
>>334238569
Well designed bosses aren't all about gameplay.
This example proves why.

Thanks alot.
>>334249151
yeah catacombs has the Bracelet enthusiast boss
>>334249216
Already killed King Bracelet and Old Demon King, Does yorm have a shit ton of hp? I feel like my +7 butchers knife is just murdering everything right now and i want a good fight again.
>>334249353
Yhorm has the most HP of any boss I would bet.
his fight has a twist. I dont want to spoil how it works.
>>334236750
You know, The Dragonslayer Armor in DaS3 is a pretty good bossfight, even though he's another big dude in armor with a swordy looking axe, his mechanic of constantly switching to whoever last hit him is interesting.
Just a side, I got really lucky with Abyss Watchers, I backstabbed one and then the others kept attacking through my iframes, setting themselves up for a backstab. This happened constantly until they were nearly dead.
>>334240337
People with Phantoms get higher invasion priority.
Which is getting really shitty, and not because MUH HONORABLE DURAL, but because when it's just you and the host, you find him and you fight until one of you dies. But if he has a phantom then it turns into a mexican stand off for ten fucking minutes where they don't want to engage you around mobs but you're not stupid enough to 1v2, and this is happening EVERY SINGLE INVASION.
I'd be surprised if anyone is still invading in a week and doesn't just find another duel bridge.
>>334238569
>YOU are the demon.
No we are not. It is Maiden Astraea that turned into a demon and Squid Head being a betafag trying to White Knight her.
Maiden in Black is a demon that became human.

>>334247898
>souls

>>334249353
You won't be getting a good fight for awhile.
All the bosses are so easy in this game besides one of them later.
>that fire demon charge alongside Squidward
This almost makes up for Scholar of the First Sin
Really not feeling it.. It's just like DS2. I didn't like DS1 bosses for the difficulty involved I liked it because of the presentation. Nito was a fucking huge death god on the bottom of a pit you couldn't see your own nose in. You had to go down into death itself only illuminated by yourself or the distant view of the kiln fillled by lava. When you actually arrived you knew you were fighting Nito the first of the dead when he came out of his own giant coffin it was amazing.
Same when I traversed hell itself (despite it's obvious flaws) and an ocean of lava to enter an old and corrupted Angkor-Wat, only to go deeper into the maws of hell to find myself fighting Chaos itself (like the fight or not)
This shit is just traversing Blighttown III : Poisonous Boogaloo , killing 2 darkwraiths and suddenly BAM you're in the middle of the "sanctuary" fighting these bunch of humanoids. Only interesting aspect was the fire on their sword but that wasn't enough. Only fight that felt good was the first boss so far because of the area
>>334236750
He's just a guy who can't decide where he wants to be Maria or Artorias.
Also it was easy as hell. The bosses in this game are fucking garbage.
>>334236750
>multi enemy bosses
this game is no different from das2
>>334250252
I've just fought Pontiff and died and I've gotta say I'm just fucking tired of this game already. Every single fucking room is 500 enemies out of nowhere and I've fought three ganksquad bosses in a row now. This Pontiff guy is the worst fucking bullshit I've seen.
It's like they took everything wrong from dark souls 2 and made it ten times worse.
I'm not even finding any fucking lore whatsoever to at least keep me intrigued, it's just walking aimless into ganksquad trap after ganksquad trap for no fucking reason.
>>334236750
Well, I just beat the game. took me 25 hours and I explored semi thoroughly I'm fairly certain I missed a couple bosses.
That fucking final boss was amazing, best boss in the series by far.
>>334244829
You mean dragonslayer armor?
>>334250774
not there yet famalam
>>334251043
So who is general grievous?
>>334251608
Pontiff
>>334251875
Agreed
>>334236750
Abyss Watchers is the most fun boss in the entire souls series.
Everything about him is great.
Debate me.
>>334250416
The boss was cool but way too fucking easy. I was easily able to brute force him on my first try, compared to every other boss his damage is laughable. Nameless was a much better fight in both difficulty and fun factorafter phase one anyway
>>334251989
Dragonslayer armor is funner to fight and has much better music.
>>334251989
I'm about 97% certain that someone just came along and picked that whole boss fight up off bloodborne's cutting room floor and threw him into ds3 hoping no-one would notice.
>>334252302The boss was easy but that one attack that straight combo's you is bullshit. I had like, 35 vig and I would almost get one shotted while embered, the way he fought i loved though how he switched and incorporated so many different styles
>>334251989
Abyss walkers are second best, I liked the final boss the best
>>334250239
Artorias and Maria are both easy as fuck retard so I guess they're garbage too?
>>334253247He incorporated so many different styles because it's the DaS1 protag.
I just love the idea of the Abyss Watcher
Just a room filled with 100 former hollowed soldiers repeatedly killing each other for all of time
>>334256425
I didn't even see it that way, I just saw it as you were entering this sort of battle royale type thing and the sole guy who just survived over however many others, exhausted, barely conscious sees you (and your gank, fully prepped, against a guy who just fought a thousand dudes with just a sword and an off-hand knife) and just sees you as another enemy to take down because that's all he knows at this point, and then when you murder him because he's not that strong, the whole group of souls that died there see it as fair to rejuvenate their champion to take you 1v1 at full power.
He's still pretty easy to gank though but oh well.

You either get the invaders that get fucked over by 1+ phantoms, or You get invaders that do gimmick kills like elevator drops, and refuse to fight if you don't fall for it.
Its shit both ways
Serious spoiler ahead:The best fight is the last boss, which is pretty much the Chosen Undead
The areas in this game feel massive for some reason
The cruxifiction woods-farrons keep area and undead settlement are all I've done so far, and some of cathedral of the deep, but it feels like all of these areas are way above the rest of the series
>>334250381
>>334250252
multiple enemies is literally the only way this series can do difficulty
you know how people say O&S are so hard? it's because everything else follows circlestrafe and dodge as a winning tactic, but you can't do that with two or more enemies
>>334238318
Always roll diagonally backwards to the right, wait for him to do the charge that leaves a trail as it leaves him open for a few attacks. You need to play a lot more passive and be more patient to not get your ass whopped
Yeah the Abyss Watchers were pretty fun.
Most of the bosses in DS3 have been at least enjoyable for me, none that felt too cheap or too hard (well except maybe Pontiff, wasn't expecting a fucking stand)
Lothric and Lorian was my favorite boss in the game, so far.
>>334257823
most of the optional bosses were sorta boring for me, and theres even a boss which is justrun up the platform, jump attack its head and kill it in one hit
So I got a lorevquestipn, what exactly happened to the lords of Cinder? At first I thought they all meet Gwyn's fate, but Lothric, transposition dude and Aldritch seem fine, while Abyss Watchers apparently just went back to the last thing they did. In fact, seems only Yhorm was "hollowed" or something similar, so I still don't see what they came back for.
>>334236750
Best armor without question.
>>334250131
Wait until the end of his quest.
Can you get that sick fire effect from abyss watchers? I know you get their skating weapon but I mirin those particle effects

I saw more as readying himself for a fight.

Just started playing DS3. Did they up the difficulty or something? First time I actually had troubles with the tutorial boss and managed to die multiple times. It was so hard to read the attacks after the transformation since it was just a giant blob of black goo just flinging around.
Or did I just suddenly git ungud.
>>334258584
Enemies are super fast and aggressive like in BB, but you're still slow and clunky shit like DS, it's rather annoying.
>>334243605This is probably my favorite boss in the series. Everything from the walk up the long stairs there, to the exposition,to the combat feels great
The absolute best, I had so much fun against this guy.
>>334258538
Patrician taste, although I didnt like the Dungeon at all, I'd personally rate it bad or shit tier

I am pic related

>>334258690
Also the big black blob monster things are fucking horribly designed. You can't tell what the fuck it's going to do or even what part is the actually attacking member.
It's just a mess.
>>334258538
From what I have played so far:
Lothric High Wall:
7/10
Interesting, with a few diversions, nothing special about it, but serves as a good opener with level design that brings back warm welcome to the series after DaS2
Undead Settlement:
8.5/10
Very nice little area, with a lot of offshooting routes that wind back into eachother, the siegward/giant questline was very nice
Cruxifiction woods/Farrons Keep
9/10
I rate these areas together since they loop back into eachother, but I really liked this area overall, the eventual progress into a more dangerous swamp area, the crabs and goat shaman things, the purposeful level design with the three fires, the huge elevator up onto the stray demon bridge, the shortcut back into crucifixion woods etc, just a great area overall, I was really impressed.
This is coming from a person who genuinely likes blighttown for it's design though.
Cathedral of the Deep:
From what I have played:
8/10, although I feel it could go higher.
I have only so far played the exteriors of this area, but I love the return to running across the buttresses and roofs of a grand structure like dark souls 1, I loved the slow progression to the top and the view once I got there, seeing the huge room and the giant was really nice.
I feel like if the interiors are as good as the outside, this will be a 10/10

Roll roll attack
>>334236750
Why the fuck did Dragonslayer feel like it had a million HP? It's the only fight I had to summon more than one phantom for
Deacons of the Deep with the Farron Greatsword is so fun. I can't stop getting summoned for this shit and doing it over again. It's like a fucking musou.
AYYYOOOOOOOO

>>334243853
how do you do
SHUT THE FUCK UP LOSER
>I PLAY VIDEO GAMES
FAGGOT
>>334257049It's the chosen scrubdead from DS1 mixed with Gwyn, actually.
>>334240372
If you kill the boss of an area you can't get invaded there anymore like Dark Souls 1.
>>334259770
All the dialogue, chapter looks awesome.
FUCK PONTIUS
I REPEAT F U C K P O N T I U S
So I got a lorevquestipn, what exactly happened to the lords of Cinder? At first I thought they all meet Gwyn's fate, but Lothric, transposition dude and Aldritch seem fine, while Abyss Watchers apparently just went back to the last thing they did. In fact, seems only Yhorm was "hollowed" or something similar, so I still miss what they sought.
>>334236750
Easily the best. That fucking music man. Holy shit I had goose bumps seeing that second form for the first time.
>>334263145
I think lord of cinders are just beings that inherited the lord souls.
My face whenChampion Gundyrfucking Tekken juggles me with his halberd into a kick
reminder that greatwood is literally the worst boss in the game
>>334265584
Nah, that's Wolnir
