LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE
>>334527058
Easy as fuck.
Just another dodge to win boss.
Let's have not one, but two bosses!
>>334527058
I just beat him, best thing is to dodge anything overhead and block everything else, if you block his horizontal strikes or pike whatever that thing is you'll stagger him. if you just try to roll away from everything or block everything then you'll never have enough stamina to retaliate, waiting for an opening is a waste of time, you have to block his horizontal strikes.
Holy shit I ltierally just beat him now and fucking hell this was one of the best boss fights ever.
It wasn't actually hard though, it's kinda like O&S again in a sense. Gotta be patient and wait for openings, so lots and lots of rolling and mobility in general is involved. Difference here is that once you do get an opening, you gotta strike more than just once. Being aggressive helps here once you see an opening. That's all there is to it really.
You can even backstab and parry him if you want to.
Blocking is a waste of stamina because you'll be trapped in his 3-5 hit combo
this is bullshit
>spawns a helper every once in a while
>hard
ok guys
>>334529472
Lol wow you have a TEENY TINY HP bar and you're actually using blue flasks? Looks like you still need to make an improvement to your gameplay. :^)
>>334528296
>Blocking is a waste of stamina
They should put it on the cover for dark souls 3, they went overboard with hyper aggressive monsters and 12 hit combos.
Focus on dodging and hitting him with ONE HIT when you can, sometimes you'll dodge and he'll be with his back facing you, thats when you can backstab his sorry ass.
He's not that hard.
If you have a build that can perma stun him, he's even easier, he has almost no poise.
So focus on running and dodging and try doing the lunge attack that you get when you run and hit, after hitting you run again and keep dodging.
>>334527058
how the fuck do you only have +2 flask at that boss? i think i had at least +4. and put those blue flasks into the healing one.
git gud and learn to backstab
Also, if you're going to use a shield, use the Grass Crest Shield for the endurance buff.
Also, try not to spend any Estus on his first phase, to guarantee that, you can hit him only when there's 3 of them, because then he will be focusing on the other and you can backstab him easily like that.
>>334527335
>fighting two bosses in this fight
Playing souls while being completely unobservant must be hard as fuck
>>334529943
>pontiffs bladestorm combos
>>334530225
Grass crest shield doesn't have 100% physical block and average stability, there's a fire resistance shield on top of the farron tower near the stray demon i think.
>>334527058
>Straightsword and 100% block shield user complaining about difficulty in ds3
You poor stupid bastard
>>334530389
The shield in this game isn't for blocking.
>>334527123
This. I'm just finding out people had trouble with this boss, and I'm over here just saying, "What the fuck?" Easiest boss in a long time, the nigger will even help you fight the mirror images in the first stage. Seriously, what the fuck scrubs?
>>334530370
>Tfw I finally caved and had to ask my friend for help
The only boss that's even remotely difficult is Pontiff, and he's DESIGNED to get you to summon help.
Anyone crying about any other help is a fuckin babbu
>>334527123
>dodge to win
Literally every souls boss ever
>>334530756
>he hasn't fought half the bosses in DaS3 yet
DaS3 does DeS' gimmick bosses right
>>334530370
This game is balancing on the hair thin line of being aggressive but not reckless but without the benefits of rally mechanic from Bloodborne.
>>334530857
Rally would make this game piss fucking easy though thanks to Shields.
>>334530717
What
I beat him my third try solo relatively handily.
Just summon best girl ;)
>>334527058
>using this game's Drake Sword
kill yourself, my man.
>>334530958
What setup you using famalllama?
There are constant summons at Pontiff's door, seems like 2/3rds of the playerbase needs serious help with him,including me
>>334530829
Sure it does, but those fights can easily be summed up with "dodge and win"
If you want a fucked up boss. its this shit
>>334531090
Cursed Greatwood or whatever won't die if you just dodge and punish and he's the 2nd actual boss.
The fact that people have actually died to him is just depressing.
>went strength/faith for first run
I should have went pyromancy but i feel like I'm too dedicated now and will have to do it on next run.
>>334528127
>fucking hell this was one of the best boss fights ever
Does that even mean anything anymore? What's the criteria?
>>334531242
Str is great, if you have enough to 1h a greatsword and a shield then you're fucking invincible.
Faith only really seems good for co-op until you get ridiculous amounts and can buff your weapons.
>Mad Invading in the Farron Woods
God damn this is amazing.
>>334531224
Sure, but hes still a boss that you dodge and then attack to. Hes no different from say like, Adjudicator. The only gimmick he has is that he has breakable parts in his limbs. Its still a "roll to win" boss
>>334531174
The first phase on that is tedious and annoying as fuck
feathers in your face, fuckhuge damage, lightning fast attacks, camera having a midlife crisis etc etc
>>334531258
It's an even, fair and challenging fight with a unique and fun mechanic that will shred you if you're ignorant but is just challenging enough
With bonus points for being really easy to finish quickly if you go in knowing what to expect.
>>334531242
I went dex/pyro first run and don't bother honestly, pyromancy sucks some massive donkey cock
Its ridiculous how gimped magic is in this game, in every form too.
>>334531014
She got mad at me because I became a finger.
>>334531242
Are you me? When I finally got the lightning and other spells, I found them so useless I said fuck it and restarted as a pyro.
>>334531445
At this point complaining that a boss is "dodge to win" is like complaining that you have to rotate blocks in Tetris.
>>334531034
It is too shit to be a Drake Sword.
>>334531596
i became a finger for ur mom
LMAO
so what of these two is it with the gems?
I am a quality build and have one refined stone.
Do I use it to make a non quality weapon a quality one or is it just always the best thing to put on? Like even if its already quality I just put it on anyways? droprate seems pretty low so i hope its the former
>>334531258
>Fun factor
>Design
>Music
>Lore
The difficulty requirement would be that it is not too hard and not easy either.
Abyss Watchers are quick and deal a lot of damage, but they also have low poise and relatively low health, so it feels like a fair fight without losing the rush feeling of an awesome battle.
>>334531531
>pyro sucks
>can literally spit boulders at people
>>334531904
That grab pyro attack look so cool as well, fuck why did i fall for the miracle scam.
>>334527058
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrWBAunbLyA nah
Pontiff Sulyvahn is a much more difficult fight, I have fought him three times, and haven't even made a dent on the prick. Irithyll is a bullshit area too. I honestly don't know how I'd be getting through this area if it weren't for my +5 Greatsword two shotting all the pontiffs. The area isn't too bad compared to the fucking dungeon though, fuck that place.
>>334531675
Im not complaining, I think "dodge to win" bosses are the best. Thats why I disliked a bunch of bosses in the previous games too.
>>334531904
woooo sure its cool and all but damage wise it just plain sucks
theres no point in spitting boulders that do half the damage I could be doing with any other upgraded weapon
>>334527058
The battle is fucking easy. He barely has any health. His first form should never be a problem because when a third watcher comes they start fighting each other.
>>334531445
how the fuck are you supposed to deal with his flying flamethrower shit?
99% of the time he jumps up and I have no fucking clue where to look/run to get away from it
>>334532370
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwlYcNp4ARU
have fun
>>334532584
Its pretty clear when hes going to breathe fire, his tail is suspended in the air and you can see him hovering.
I usually just run in any direction, as fast as you can
>>334532373
I find it's useful against shields, seems it will stagger most of the tower fags

God I can't fucking wait for that song. I don't even care about the animation that much, the song sounds awesome and Hirasawa is a fucking god
Its not released yet right? I might have to look it up
>>334533625
I searched for it for 30 min before realizing it's not even released yet, Susumu Hirasawa really gets my blood pumping with his songs.
>>334533794
oh god dammit
fuck, I might have to play 3 tomorrow with Berserk music in the background
why didn't I think of this, Im making an ultragreatsword build right now too
Do all the boss areas look like that?
>sound of swords clashing before you enter
10/10
>>334534082
yes, you figured it out, you fight every boss in the exact same room the entire game
>>334527123
This. Every boss in this game is easy and boring as fuck.
PCucks need to git gud already.

It makes me wish magic was like BB, no catalysts needed.
I swear to god people pay no attention to the game as they play it. When the 3rd guy comes up he has RED EYES. This guy will fight the other two guys if you don't try to fuck him up. Use him to distract one or both of them as you fight the guy who owns the boss health bar. Then they will spawn alternatingly. A guy with white eyes will spawn and fuck you up followed by another red eye guy who will fuck up the white eyed guys until you advance to the next phase of the fight.

I was stuck on this homo for a couple of days but beat him a few hours ago, the stamina and fire rings really helped
>>334527058
These games need hardcore mode where you only have one life, but have lot of exclusive weapons/armor just for amazing players like me who kill all bosses on first try.
>>334534598
People are actually bitching because the enemies don't follow predictable patterns anymore.
I can't beat Sulyvahn..
its impossible
>everyone says they loved Abyss Watchers because of their second form and they thought the first form was lame
>mfw I thought the second form was shit and the first phase was much more interesting and fun
>>334527123
How do i fucking dodge the final Watcher? I can get to him every other time when i don't fuck up ripostes too bad and eat fitsful of shit, but he's just a fucking shitfest, wherever i roll i just get hit no matter what
I reinstalled DS2 and the game feels so slow. And dodging does absolutely fuck all. DS3 is all about dodging. Big shields are worthless when bosses drain your stamina bar with their 3-4 hit combos.
Not sure if I should have uninstalled after playing it for 1 hour, at least it ran at a silky smooth 60 frames on the highest settings. Dark Souls 3 runs like shit, even on a lower res. But then again the m+kb controls are far better.
>>334527058
YouTube no damage base stats no gear nameless king video exists.
You're just a shit noob go kill yourself
I just beat him with a SL1 character, he's really not that hard.
The first phase is a joke because the boss has so little health and you even get help from the third Watcher. The second phase seems hard at first but it's really not. Just bait that one combo that ends with a jump attack and then backstab him.
>>334535483
Bait him into the wall and then just roll to the side. Try not to lock on or you'll end up rolling around him and back into the fire.
>>334535483
git good stupid noob. u can beat this piss easy boss without taking a hit easy as F.
>>334535602
What graphics card are you using?
>>334527058
First time almost killed him solo, I summoned and it was too easy. Git gud fgt
>>334531174
Fuck him it's the last boss that I have left and I just quit I'm done! Tried it for 3h on and off and I just can't! I can power trough the 1. phase but fuck him in phase 2 I never got more than 2 hits on him. And there is nobody there to summon.
only thing that sucks is how slow weapons don't feel super effective against bosses. I'm on Aldritch and it feels like I would have a way easier time with a one handed sword and shield. It feels like my UGS is high-risk low reward, since armor means shit and even with 1000 health I'm still getting 3 shot at best.
>>334536637
Strength weapons got shafted once more, you can power through everything by stunlocking most enemies with longswords and taking good chunks out of bosses with plenty of stamina to spare.
>>334536637
I was tearing apart bosses with my Greataxe. the Warcry r2 combo is strong. It's just that everything pales compared to the straight sword, they are like the fencing swords in DS2. They need a serious nerf,
>>334530829
what are the wrong gimmick bosses?

After having to fight Bloody Mary in BB 8,000 times to beat her, all that skill translated immediately to this fight. The fights are almost identical but this time you can have help from random enemies that spawn.

>>334531224

>>334536786
That and you don't get punished as hard for a longsword. Feels like I would still get punished against those fucking knights in front of Pon because of their recovering swing they'd use immediately after recovering from their stun while the greatsword was still retreating from their faggy skulls.
>>334537041
>greataxe
Oh, is it actually good? IIRC, it had an absolute shit moveset in DS, so I always ignored axes when I could just use the Zwei or Greatsword instead.
NOT LIKE THIS ;_;

>Grind souls to out level the boss
>>334538685
Fuck me I was sad when I found him. I almost didn't even notice but I saw the hat and was like "oh fuck no". For a while I blamed Patches since I told him about Greirat going to Lothric but I guess he was too much of a pussy to follow him there.
>>334531224
i almost beat him first try but i didn't know thathis arm was a weak spot, and i kept running around trying to find where his fourth cancer tumor was
>>334538685
Shit, I just realised he didn't come back last time I sent him out. He's dead now isn't he?
Where's a good place to grind souls? I just got to the snow village. I feel like almost everything outside of bosses has been giving me pitiful amounts of souls.
>>334538908
>>334539040
I can kill patches after I get Onionbro's armour right?
I want him to die.
>>334538685
I KNEW sending him out was a bad idea. Feels good having him squatting his ass back at the shrine.shame I fucked things up with Sig, since I haven't seen him since Undead Settlement. He's probably dead now.And I didn't find patches after he locks you in that tower, which is a shame, as I wanted to kill the fucking Christ out of him.
>>334538739
Did the 10 kills for despawn come back?
Also I feel like souls are a lot more scarce compared to 2 and 1.
Even mini-bosses don't drop a whole lot.
>>334538739
More like
>played hundreds of hours of the souls games
>less likely to die
>less likely to lose souls
>know how to manage stats
>get a good scaling weapon
>as a result you outlevel every zone because you never lost souls or used them on pointless shit
>>334527058
I want to laugh at you but I'm stuck too. Trying again tomorrow sober. I can imagine some boss as simple as this can't be hard when you're not drunk. Not gonna laugh tho still cause I had a few unsuccessful goes tonight. Deep axe with dark and fire balls. I know I got this tomorrow sober at most 3 tries
>>334539317
He's up in the top right corner of firelink shrine
>>334539040
Check the spoiler image.
>>334539174
Patches only kills him during his second outing if Siegward isn't there to save his ass. If you send him to Lothric hegets in over his head and dies on his own.
He's still a cunt, so I wouldn't blame you for killing him anyway.
>>334539335

Yeah, where is he hanging out? Last time I saw him was when we killed a fire demon in undead settlement together, Patches already pulled the trick on me.
>>334539971
Check outside the Cleansing Cathedral if you're not too far past where Patches tricks you yet.
