yeah, I know not everyone plays like that but I would say a good amount of people play DS3 extremely defensively

Cool for them then.
There's a lot of anti shield stuff in this game so I didn't bother
>>
>>334336359
I haven't equipped a shield in all of DS3, 31 hours played, currently in Smoldering Lake.
Also I haven't played Bloodborne and I don't feel qualified to tell which game is better, you should do the same.

I have a confession to make.

I lured him back to the previous room and got him trapped behind the stairs to kill him.

Killed it but used all my estus. I thought Warrior had better armor but it's shit.

Killed him as a deprived barely using any estus. I've played all the other games though including bloodborne[spoiler/] so i'm used to the rolling and combat

But the game actively rewards you for playing aggressively.

Just because people play like faggots doesn't mean the game is shit. Their crutch will fall out from under them once they reach the valley.

will do, thanks

>>334343271
you're both correct.
you will only ever go hollow if you take the free levels, but it's not instant.
Every few times you die after taking a free level you're able to take free levels again, then you'll die some more and take more free levels until you're basically full hollow.

I killed the Lizard my first time, almost missed him too, though I then died to Ludex and beat him on the second attempt.

>DS1 used shield, loved parrying, backstabbing was very specific in it's range of triggering and not as reliable to do.

>DS2, parrying broke/changed because apparently balance, Backstabbing triggers in a wide cone behind the enemy from like 5ft away
>Again, balance

>DS3 Parrying still isn't as snappy as it was in DS1 and I'm yet to figure out timings, backstab and rolling seems way more generous than DS1

You know, if you're going to make rolling and backstabbing easy, there's no real excuse to not just give me my proper parry that immediately triggers right as they hit you.

I tend to play with a shield but it's generally a case of only blocking when I know I'm not going to make the dodge, I can play just fine with out it, but I like the aesthetic.

>Annoying level design

Only thing wrong there was the fact that there was way less detail, secrets, shortcuts, easter eggs, etc. than DaS but it was still there and some areas such as Dragon's Aerie, Aldia's Keep and DLC areas were the exception.

>annoying game mechanics

Like fucking what? Hitboxes? They weren't that bad. Better than 1 and it doesn't have that retarded hit thru the wall glitch. Animation lag was the real problem but only prevalent in PvP. Hardly ruined anything and combat was largely the same save being slower.

>uninterested world and environments

All the DLC areas added interest to the world.

>Uninteresting characters

Who is Lucatiel, Benhart, Vendrick, Aldia, Anastasia, Navlaan? Shanalotte was almost interesting, if only they didn't cut out her backstory so much and stopped repeating "bear seek lest".

Not the best souls game but hardly bad. You've never actually played a bad game in your life and your post shows.

My personal theory ties a bit into >>334345165

Given the architecture and climate of Irithyl, we can assume it has been quite a long time. I guess if any residents of Anor Londo resided such as the blacksmith, they were murdered, and divinity were consumed by Aldritch. This leaves Pontiff and Aldritch to do whatever the fuck they want with the land.

My biggest uncertainties are whether Gwyndolin was alive when consumed, or his divine body was eaten as a corpse. That would clear up timelines a bit given he wasn't hollow, then again we don't know how long the lords live for.

Also, seen as how Aldritch dreamt of Priscilla as a "young girl" when eating Gwyndolin, is it saying Gwyndolin was behind her imprisonment in the painted world?

If you kill the third boss before finding the mound mashers covenant or whatever its called, it locks you out of it until much later in the game. And then if you join the Rosaria's Finger covenant before completing a certain NPC's questline, you're locked out of it completely for that run as far as I know.

im not sure this will work for you since im using a faster weapon but try it anyway.

basically for phase 2 stick on his body as close as possible and just roll time his swings. he will always break after 1-3 swings depending on what pattern hes doing. its basically a free hit everytime. the hardest move to dodge is his charge grab shit cause hitboxes. his swings are really telegraphed and can be framedodged easily.
when he hits 50 he charges up which allows for a good charged heavy hit to chunk him down to 30%

Anri gets fucked if you do deacon and wolfnir before helping her and slaying horace.

Siegward needs to be given armor and helped before going to Irithyl dungeon or he won't be helping during Yhorm.

Sirris will fuck off if you talk to Rosaria.

Mound Makers are missed if you kill tree giant before joining.

Yoel dies and you can't usurp the fire if you don't save him early enough.
