Kneel before your Ashen king, whore.
>tfw Lords of Cinder are easy
>tfw Pontiff Sulyvahn is the only boss who gave me a hard time and the only foe I respect so far
>>334799314
>What is a dancer
>>334799662
Haven't seen her yet, will make her my bitch too. I literally fucked all the bosses, the only boss who fucked me for a while was Pontiff Sulyvahn.
>>334799314
Now go do it without dying
>>334799783
>literally
How did you manage to do that with the skellington king?
>>334799314
>>334799783
The inconsistent boss difficulty is one of the biggest flaws of the game. Outside of Pontiff, Dancer (before you learn her tells) and Nameless King there aren't really any hard bosses that need more than one or two attempts.
Aldrich can be hard if you go at him solo, but if you have some fire/dark resist and upgraded your weapons enough to burn him down in phase 2, then he's relatively easy. Solo, he resubmerges so fast that he barely uses any abilities.
Every boss after that is a push-over.
>>334799314
>Pontiff
>hard
I thought he was easy. His tells were so obvious, all you had to do was be patient and wait for an opening.
Dancer is easy and I suck shit at the game
>>334799314
I haven't played the game yet but I saw a video of Aldritch and it looked like some cuhrayzee shit. I dunno if I could beat that Touhou bastard.
>>334800104
>sunlight medal

>>334799314
The boss you have problems with is easy, I've beaten it 1st try.
>>334800104

Get well soon.
Prep that ass for Yhorm.

>>334803250
Easiest boss in the game
I got all of the bosses mixed up in terms of difficulty. I beat Pontiff second try, but Aldrich reamed me for 10 deaths straight. I didn't really have trouble with dancer, bit Twin Princes were fucked hard for me. I dunno why.
>>334803304
you needed to summon
you didnt really win
>>334806378
Really disappointed that he was just a gimmick fight, even if the gimmick wasn't even bad. Profaned Capital was kinda shitty and small, too.
>>334805617
How the hell is a fucking shortsword stronger than my greatsword?
Nerf this shit, From.
>>334807030
your build probably sucks.
>>334807030
some UGS with heavy infused and 50 STR hit for way less than any normal sword or greatsword, balance is fucked
>Smough's hammer is back
>excited for it's weapon arts
>maybe his buttslam, or his charge move
>it's another Perseverance
>>334803250
yhorm was indisputably the easiest boss in the entire series.
>>334799783
>the only boss who fucked me for a while was Pontiff Sulyvahn.
Dancer is way harder
>>334805617
>that HP
fuck off with that shit.
shield and health fags i swear...
>>334807598
Now you're being stupid.
Pinwheel.
>>334807947
I once did Pinwheel as soon as I reached Firelink and it was a legit challenge, Yhorm though, it's impossible to get hit once you get the sword.
>>334807014
It's a shame too, I love the look of that place. Would have been nice if it could have been link tosmouldering lakesomehow. The game needs more lava.
>>334807947
I'd say they're about equal actually.
Pinwheel at least requires you to get in melee range.
You blow some air at Yhorm.
I just farm souls by sunbroing by his fog gate because it takes a minute to take him down and gives a lot of souls for the amount of time it takes.
>>334799982
>Nameless King
Why do people say this? The hardest part about the fight is the camera. I went in shitting my pants because everyone says how hard he was, he barely hit me with his slow attacks. Sulyvahn and Dancer were much harder
>>334799314
>shield baby
>straight swords baby
>this game is easy
kys
>>334807826
Speedrunning, no way to get the good scaling infusions so they probably just go raw and upgrade as much as possible.
Well what do you know. Different people find different bosses harder than others. Almost like this has been the case in every single soulsborne game.
What a fucking shithole, when do I get to leave?
>>334808347
That's probably the Astora straight sword, with raw it's a beast.
>>334808413
whenever you want. it's optional
>>334808347
I meant the player's health bar.
>>334808660Where am I meant to go after Cathedral and Abyss Watchers?
>>334808741
Forward.
>>334808741
you can keep going through the catacombs (it ends just past the bridge you climbed down to the smouldering lake) and then onto the Boreal Valley. Still, you're almost done with the Smouldering Lake/Demon Ruins. Just turn off the ballista (or not, use it to kill the worm). The boss is just past the worm
>>334808318
>I like to make the game harder for me by not using all the tools the game provides

>>334808908
Cheers.
>>334808787
>>334808872
T-thanks.
>>334809118S-sorry, I had a brain fart
>>334808908
Do I just climb up to the ballista? I looked around and didn't find dick, but it was a suicide item run while dodging those fucking arrows.
>>334808673
That's what I meant, they pick raw and where the fuck will a speedrunner dumb all his levels? Health and endurance.
So what's with this "you can't use shields or put points in VIG" meme?
>>334808468
It's Anri's Straight Sword
Anyone tried the Pontiff Knight Greatscythe? Any good? According to the wiki it scales S with DEX.
>>334809676
it's a meme, just the same as you can't use magic from past games
>>334808930
you are stupid if you don't see how straight swords and rapier break the game they will get nerfed.
When can I start snagging some titanite chunks? I just beat Pontiff.
>>334808930
I'd much rather be using a huge fuck-off sword or club, but I'm stuck with a fucking Broadsword because it's so good.
>>334809734
If hes speedrunning its definitely a raw Astora Straight Sword
>>334807826
He doesn't get hit once and the hp is there as a precaution
And he obviously uses the small shield to better parry the blows not to block, which he clearly does
Unironically get good
>>334799314
>using a shield
opinion discarded
>Pontiff Sulyvahn is the only boss who gave me a hard time
HOW?
Jesus fuck. How can anybody have trouble with this fucking boss? Same with the Dancer. They barely do any fucking damage.
I'm actually massively disappointed with pretty much all the bosses in this one. Only the champ gave me a hard time, the rest were easy, especially the nameless king solely because of how generous they I-Frames on rolls are. I've either gotten better, or they made the bosses way too easy in this one for some reason.
>>334809421
most of the level is underground. The ballista will break some rubble allowing access, or there's a path behind the giant worm that leads to a bonfire and the underground demon ruins. Tip on the worm, dodge its lightning, run up to it an attack it. When it goes underground run behind it and hide behind one of the little mounds. the ballista should target you, but hopefully not be able to hit you will still hitting the worm and killing it (it won't respawn)
lads why the fuck cant phantoms follow me into fog gate? Im tired soloing bosses with x3 HP. Just want some jolly co-op. Is there a fix for this?
>>334812121
Cool. I actually killed the worm and then got my ass handed to me by the boss. Probably because I was using a fire weapon.
>>334812409
The boss is really weird. It has some unique attacks, and his aggresiveness is random. My first try he barely hit me, but the second try he did 10 hits a second
kind of feel bad for not giving pontiff a good solo try, I realized I could summon two guys and fucked him up after 2 attempts, neither of them solo.
>>334812409
Old Demon King is one of those bosses where you want to run around like a headless chicken 2-handing a weapon, baiting out attacks, punishing and then running out of range again. Especially since he has a lot of close-mid range fuck you moves once he goes super saiyan
One thing I miss from DS2 is the ability to resummon the boss using a Bonfire Ascetic.
not even mad desu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m-i2f7-p8A
>>334812668
This. But I guess if you really want to fight a boss again you just put down your sign in front of the fog gate
>>334812668
You could do a lot of cool shit DS2 that you can't do in DS3. No more power stance, 2h weapons suck dick, no more poise wall, no more fist weapon badassery, no more NG(+++, etc) control through ascetics, no more totally new game with new enemies on NG+, weapon abilities now use gay FP instead of durability or health, no more awesome covenants, no more void walking.
>>334812901
>that door blocker with the wheelie skeelie shield
>>334812668
>One thing I miss from DS2 is the ability to resummon the boss using a Bonfire Ascetic.
Well, I think the system in DaS3 is better, because mobs no longer despawn forever.
>>334812901
DOOR STUCK!
DOOR STUCK!
