There's a lot of talk of bosses, but what about enemies?
What designs did you like?
Dislike?
Which did you enjoy fighting the most?
Which gave you the most trouble?And why was it these faggots?
>>334893853
Those snake guys at dragons peak
I had one stun locked to fuck, hitting him in the back, and then out of nowhere his neck recoils backwards and he swallows me whole while he was still facing the other direction
pretty neat, wasnt even mad
>>334893982
That entire lead up to the dragon mountain was a nightmare.

>mfw Consumed King's Garden
>>334894627
probably these assholes so far
they're weird, they're big and super agressive, they obscure the camera if you get too close, and their damage is pretty serious for when you're just starting out
also not a fan of those spear-wielding knights
>>334893853
lol, this was one of easiest enemies in dark souls 3.
Those skeleton with dual weapon & throwing dagger is the hardest.
>>334895717
Those ones are easy. Strafe endlessly and hit when they get close. They don't have erratic movement and a barely telegraphed grab like the OP fags do.
>>334895717
>>334896036
>This enemy is hard
>Nah that enemy was fucking easy
Every souls thread
>>334893982
I just got done with this area and I'm going to have to agree, at least so far. Those snake men are no fucking joke. They'd be a lot less of a problem if it wasn't so tricky to actually get one on one fights with them, though.
>>334894627
>>334895148
use fire
>>334893853
I think there are too many enemies that have grabs.
>>334895717
It's not a matter of difficulty.
They're just poorly constructed.
Their grab follows you around for like 3 whole seconds, and they're fast as shit.
>>334893853
they are fuckheads cus they dont stop fuckin jumping on you
skeletons are cool
>>334893853
>This enemy quite literally rides your face and rubs it's crotch all over it
Why boner
>>334894627
these cunts dont stop fukkin attacking, its fucked that they put one on the roof when you are about to hit the first winged knight
>>334894627
whats the lore of em
Also fuck demon ruins goat men and anything wielding trees
>>334896519
symbiote in dark souls universe
fuckin venom man
I love the new mechanic of defeating a difficult enemy then immediately getting ambushed right after
sup nigger
get at me
>>334896632
sure lemme just get my bow and lure you out of the mud were you're easy as shit.
>>334893853
Worst enemies in the game:
Those metro sexual sayter faggots in OPs pic.
The ass hole Jailers, just annoying and tedious.
Fucking dogs, goddamn dogs.
I have not killed a single giant crab and I have 2 guys about to move into NG+
Those little faggot thiefs that jump from walls, fuck those guys.
The mini ice dancers, fucked me up bad my first play through.
Ninja undeads. Calm the fuck down.
Everything else was aight.
>>334893853
That fuck.
>Strolling along the poison swamp like any other day
>spot one of these uncharacteristically without a weapon
>Ok
>moving in.
Suddenly got a face full of crotch and a YOU DIED.
Not that bad once the surprise wears off though.
I've got more problem with the character randomly kicking instead of a regular attack than any single monster so far. Stunlocking most things is easy as heck, so as long as you can manage to fight everything 1 on 1 there is little problem.
>>334894627
These fuckers are harder than the bosses, good thing they're weak to firebombs or they'd be a nightmare.
>>334896621
i love the new mechanic of if an enemy is too easy put 3 of them at once
those long neck fuckers at the dragon place, especially the bigger ones
FUCK they arent even hard but they are annoying as fuck just how they are designed
dont stretch your neck at me faggot fuck off
>>334894627
>Firebomb
>5 hit combo while its stunned
>Back away
>Firebomb
>5 hit combo while its stunned
>dead
Fire really cripples some of the nastier enemies in this game.
>>334896689
what's even better is luring them to stand on top of a fire. They die in a few seconds and you can just dodge the flying skulls while they burn up. Just make sure you keep baiting their attacks to keep them standing still.
Is it mo or do dogs get more and more bullshit each game?
I'm just glad there aren't that many in late game.
>>334896632
>>334896689
Out of the mud and into the fire, where it gets stunlocked by itself. I barely have to do anything.
GIANT
ENEMY
CRAB
>>334893853
I hate all these command grabs
The unarmed naked Ghrus are probably the worst-designed enemies in the entire game. Any time you hit them they just immediately jump and trio to mario-stomp you. This gets fucking stupid for the ones in the Demon Ruins that jump through the ceiling to do it. Hit, roll out, step in, hit, roll out, repeat until zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
Everything bigger than a rock-basic Hollow in DaS 3 is a gigantic pile of plate-spinning auto-tracking lolpoising bullshit. FROM wasn't even trying with this one.
Dogs are and will always be the worst enemy in a souls game
>>334896632
Worst enemy in the game by a landslide. Two things would have made them substantially easier, either make them roam around where you can fast roll, or get rid of the Logarius skulls.
>>334896632
That one spot where three of them are guarding a treasure, fuck me. Kiting them helps but they're still a pain in the dick with constant ghost skulls comboing with "eat tree" attack.
>>334896752
>The mini ice dancers, fucked me up bad my first play through.
Those are harder than the BOSS Dancer. Every time I saw one I had to second guess whether I wanted to bother with what they were protecting.
>>334897058
>Logarius skulls
It's only one trillion skulls
>>334896923
Fucking dogs.
Either you manage to hit you or it feels like they fucking frame trap you while you struggle to roll or attack
>>334896961
>Kiting them out of the water just makes them tunnel back further in
i stopped having problems with enemies after the swamp because of dat hidden body.
>not going 15 int for hidden body and running past all that bullshit
any enemy is hard when you're forced into mud, water, posion or backed into tight spaces and tight corners or off ledges.
>>334893853
i fucking HATE those dagger wielding man serpents in the dragon area. that fucking combo is ridiculous.
they're easy to 1v1 but when you're just trying to run past them to get to the ledge for the dragon's head they can be extremely annoying.
Those spider-like Aldritch ring dropping monsters were great.
>>334897190
AND they get all their hp back
>>334897058
>>334897128
>Hey guys we have another gigantic humanoid that swings a really big weapon, how do we make this one 'hard'?

>perfect tracking on every attack

Why
I genuinely want to know what this brings to the game
Thoses Gaping Dragons-like lizards.
>>334897186
I've had them Tokyo drift and attack me through a locked on block. Not to mention the negative frame attack startups that they and a lot of other enemies have too.
>>334897310
That's why I don't even feel bad about using arrows
Too many re-used enemies. I'm tired of fighting over-sized people with big swords, slimes, and dogs.
Does Lothric Castle and the Profaine Capital have anything fun, at least?
>>334896519
Their humanity is running wild similar to manus.
Only happens in 3 since its been much longer than 1 in terms of linking the fire.
>>334897058
Roll into them. Works 90% of the time. Just make sure you aren't rolling into a fucking trunk-stomp.
Learning to roll into shit in Bloodborne has vastly improved my survival rate that my first playthrough is shieldless.
The Jailers are annoying.
The silver knights kill me a lot because they're ever so slightly different from dark souls and they always fuck me because I get cocky.
Those giant maggot monsters when you don't have a fire weapon.
THE GOD DAMN FAT PILGRIM GRANDMAS WITH THE GIANT SPIKED MACES
>>334897437
Profane Capital has gargoyles, and Lothric Castle hasthe exact same enemies you fought in High Wall except they do more damage for some reason
>>334897437
Knights and big dudes and mimics
>>334897047
They wouldn't be so bad if poise mattered. That could be said of a lot of things in this game but it especially bothers me with the dogs. Before I could just walk right up to them in Elite Knight or whatever, let them nip at my heels while I slash away. Now even a nuzzle will stagger me, AND they're even more erratic and aggressive than they've ever been.
>>334897437
Lothric Castle is mostly hollows + knights.
Profaned Capital just have uglies as fuck Gargoyles and witches
>>334894627
I've encountered these dudes but I'm yet to kill one in that form.
Either die to it early on, and later just kill them before they turn.
>>334893853
Goat rapist is literally fucking broken bullshit.
Seriously man. Harder stakes than any boss.
>>334897531
This. I sucked at rolling when I played DeS/DS1/DS2. Since I played Bloodborne though, it's like I can fucking see the frames.
>>334893853
My favorite enemy is either the camera or the lock on system. Easily died to both of those more than anything else. They have a lot of the same attacks, so it's hard to choose.
The fucking Crocodiles.
>>334897661
I sold my shield after the second boss and just resolved to git gud.
Died a fuck ton.
But I have gitten the gud. Relatively.
I mean I can dodge most attacks.
>>334897437
Profaned is shockingly tiny with only gargoyles, pyro wardens, arm spiders, a fat hand headed fucker that steals souls, and a pope guy for no raisin.
>>334897573
the altitude
>>334897572
The nanas wouldn't be bad but almost every single one is either crammed into a tiny closet so your swings are bouncing off walls while theirss sail through them and there is no room to dodge, or they have fifteen fucking adds.
>>334897419
Those are one of the best-designed monsters in the whole game.
>Cool looking
>Absolutely steamroll you when you first meet one
>Fun, tense and satisfying to fight once you get the hang of them.
For the record, their attacks are fairly easy to dodge by rolling sideways, and they telegraph the nastier swipes pretty well.
>>334897572
>THE GOD DAMN FAT PILGRIM GRANDMAS WITH THE GIANT SPIKED MACES
Early game nightmares. Once you're leveled they ain't shit, but they will always have a special place in my clenched asshole.
>>334893853
Like 90% of the enemies in Smouldering Lake are annoying as fuck. Especially those faggots that can spawn seemingly an infinite number of fireball spawning orb things.
Crabs are bullshit.
Wheel skeletons are actually okay now and not total bullshit garbage.
Those giant spider wolf monsters or whatever they were were great and reminded me a bit of the larger beasts in Bloodborne.
I have mixed feelings about the Pontiff Knights but generally they were pretty neat.
Also mixed feelings about the Evangelist / Fat lady official enemies but generally they were well designed and once you realize which of their attacks have delays they're not that hard to deal with.
I know this is a thread about enemies but
>Find black pyro tome
>"Oh man of jeez can't accept this, is evil mahn"
>Ok
>Find Quelana tome

>>334897968
You find someone in the Irithyll dungeons who can help you with that later.
>>334894627
>have undead rapport
>Use it on Crusader looking knight
>Des vult!
>>334897573
The red-eye greatsword knights that instagib you at 1000 HP are pretty nice. Especially when their little buttbuddies are full-healing them and giving them super-buffed defense.
But hey, at least neo-FROM threw us a bone by having that one room where the knights hard-leash on the entranceway.
Fucking laziest piece of shit excuse for a Souls game ever. Yet even a godawful Souls game is better than most vidya these days.
>>334897780
The popes uniform is baller though, good reason to go through that place.
>>334897931
This, and the little fire demons in Smouldering lake.
The game went suddenly from okay to flustrating really fast
>>334897750
>went through game #noshield from start
>got to dancer
>spamming massive aoes nonstop
>only break between combos is to punch the ground so I have no chance to attack
>try a shield
>immediately win
Shields completely trivialize some of these bosses, I really missed out.
>>334897937
Everyone says smouldering lake was hard.
I found it really easy.
Hell the crabs aren't hard to beat either.
The flame fags can be stun-locked easy, and their attacks are easily telegraphed aside from the flamethrower one.
>>334894627
Stay behind them and watch their hand, they're not hard.
>>334897064
theres a spot just near the trio where you can shoot them to death with a bow 100% safely
>>334897974
>Sorcery 0%
That's it I'm gonna make an Int character and blow you PvP fags the fuck out.
Just wait.
>>334897931
HAHAHA INFINITE STAMINA, I ATTACK FOREVER.
The games difficulty takes a huge spike when you hit Boreal.
>>334897426
why would you? Bows are in the game for a reason
Honestly the faggot armored slime dudes who take 5 damage from physical weapons. Fire fucks 'em up but I'm usually too lazy to carry a bunch of firebombs around.
>>334897006
>>334897410
Oy vey, can't say anything bad about Bloodbou- I mean Dark Souls 3, anon! Think of the 6 gorrillion sales!
>>334897190
I was watching my brother play and he went sorcerer and the crabs look fucking impossible to kill with any sort of magic that isn't wildly OP for the area. If you just try and use magic they burrow super fast. They can be 10 feet from their spawn and they'll burrow if you hit it with a couple soul arrows.
>>334898286
Because none of the enemies can cope with it except bosses
>>334898239
>>334898072
interesting cos i found the lanky faggots from OP much worse than anything on Irithyl
The stupid wolf enemy you fight two of down that ladder in Anor Londo are my most hated Soulsborne enemy ever. Fuck them and their huge health pool and damage output
In my opinion the really only bullshit, unfun enemy to fight are the Giant Crabs
>Take no damage
>Fast as fuck
>Hit like trucks
Nothing about them is fun.
Runner up goes to the Jailers. An enemy who I still do not know what From was thinking when they made them. Yes, lets punish the player for even attempting to fight them.
Third place go to the Dogs who are still bullshit
>>334896516
All but those in Consumed King's Garden can be killed before they transform
>>334898017
I wish we had more spells like this, or the game had more unique scenarios around the game. Like you could lure a group of monsters into another group and have them duke it out.
>>334898383
Pretty sure they borrow if you are on inaccessable land. If you stay in the swamp they won't burrow
>>334898239
They have literally no poise, I stunlocked them with a shitty +6 estoci and 16 str 18 dex
>those rolling fatties with fingers instead of a head
>>334893853
lets be honest this game is littered with bullshit enemies.
>jumping satyrs that stun lock you in an endless grab cycle
>giant gaping dragon dogs that turn on a dime
>jailers that drain your HP, and can instant kill grab you
>red eye knights with infinite stamina that can shield bash for days
>archers with homing arrows that send you flying back 10 feet
>bosses that literally insta kill you whenever the RNG feels like it
>90% of chests are mimics that can drop kick you for almost all your health
once I beat this game I'm never touching this bullshit again.
>>334898441
only shit i ever gave up on in this game was that bullshit.
>>334898079
Sometimes they make bosses/enemies harder though. I resolve myself to a UGS and Greatshield run my first playthrough of every Souls game, but in 3 I've been tempted to stop several times. I still roll, my equip load is under 70%, but when I do keep my shield up, more aggressive enemies take down stamina like nothing, even with an upgraded Black Iron Greatshield. A lot of the problem stems from not getting out of the shield animation until a second or so has gone by, so once you block, you HAVE to continue blocking if the enemy is attacking fast enough.
In Nameless King pt. 1, when the drake breathes fire straight down, holding my shield up actually kills me, because the flames go through the shield, damaging me a bunch while draining my stamina and stunning me, then the flames keep going and hit me yet again at full strength. I'm at Soul of Cinder and the baseball combo destroys my anus if I block the first strike.
>>334898567
Just pull one at a time like any other encounter
>>334898441
>>334898567
I killed one, but cannot fucking down the second one. I just gave up on it.
>>334898383
Magic is good at the very start, but it quickly goes downhill afterwards. They haven't updated the casting speed to deal with the faster pace of the game, and the damage scaling on spells are atrocious. I mean, they're fucking terrible.
There is no reason whatsoever to use magic except for Rapport and the weapon buffing spells.
>>334898560
this is the only souls game where i only got tricked by mimics once, they're everywhere it spoils the fun
>>334898554
>fighting two at once
>they spam the grab&lick attack over and over
Jesus Christ make it stop
>>334898560
None or very little are bullshit. Just because they gave you a hard time doesn't mean that anything is bad.
Oh you want to kick my shield? Let me read your input and counter with a shield bash instead :^)
>>334893853
I dunno about you guys, but i'd fuck those satyr tentacle head monsters.
>>334898591
The baseball combo has a massive tell he's going to do it and is meant to be dodged backward in rythm
>>334898560
All that is true.
But mimics are easy to deal with, just put them to sleep.
>>334898749
Just smash these dudes through their "shield".
those unrelenting enemies that offer seemingly no opportunities at breaking off from the fight to make space and recollect yourself are the worst
I forgot what they're called.
They just sort of keep swinging at you constantly then when you roll or something they just close that gap again and keep swinging some more.
its pissing me off not knowing their name, anyone know?
>>334898785
>>334896632
These things reminded me of Bear In The Big Blue House.
>>334898591
Shields get a lot better if you equip the Cloranthy ring and let go of the block button immediately after each hit and just-defend the strikes. Get in their face, strafe to one side, and if you just-defend the stamina regen between blocks will see you through most combos if you've invested a decent amount into END.
It's still shitty and un-fun, but it works.
>>334898749
Stanced weapon art shield break attack with straight swords works wonders against every enemy that blocks.
>>334897572
silver knights threw me the fuck off when i noticed the parry timing was a millisecond different
>>334897931
these guys making my invasions infinitely easier.
>>334898863
you play garou?
>>334898785
My unkindled
>>334897931
These guys were kicking my ass, and with their gigantic aggro range and homing spell, they're a pain from any range. At least they die easy.
Fun and memorable, but they seem to be designed to piss me off.
I got used to the knights in the boreal valley but the one with a scythe i just can't even begin to understand how you're supposed to beat it without stunlocking his ass, he can attack all around him with deceptive timing
and they frosbite too because fuck you
>>334898939
Among other fighting games with the same mechanic, yes.
>>334894627
>Top of the castle
>Everything suddenly hits like a truck and absorbs three times as much damage for no fucking reason
>>334896752
I killed one giant crab by cheesing it with drop slashes
No regrets
>>334898991
whats your favourite fg?
>>334898560
>jumping satyrs that stun lock you in an endless grab cycle
The fact that they grab you is a cue to stop blocking and start rolling.
>giant gaping dragon dogs that turn on a dime
The ones down the ladder? I hve no argument here, their health is too massive and they seem to have a 360 attack range.
>jailers that drain your HP, and can instant kill grab you
Visual cues, what are they?
>red eye knights with infinite stamina that can shield bash for days
"I still haven't discovered that enemies with shields should be faced with 2handing"
>archers with homing arrows that send you flying back 10 feet
Homing is a bit too much, but it's not like there's nowhere to hide.
>bosses that literally insta kill you whenever the RNG feels like it
10 vig and proud!
>90% of chests are mimics that can drop kick you for almost all your health
Oh yes, they definitely got carried away with the amount of mimics.
So is the hardest part about being a Sorcerer in this game finding all of the cryptic hidden bullshit? Because that's the way it should be.
A lot of enemies after Irithyll really pissed me off
-Those assholes with scythes who have infinite stamina
-Those asshole fire mages who shoot you through walls
-The crocodile wolf demon thing, especially the duo
-Jailers. That room with TEN FUCKING JAILERS WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!
-Red eyed Blue Lothric Knights with healers who buff them
-Flying fat men trio on the roof
-Pretty much everything in Archdragon Peak, ESPECIALLY that faggot who kept summoning NPCs
Also the one OP posted as well as >>334894627
Say what you want about Dark Souls going to shit after Anor Londo, but I can't remember a single enemy in there that frustrated me like any of the above
>>334898591
>A lot of the problem stems from not getting out of the shield animation until a second or so has gone by, so once you block, you HAVE to continue blocking if the enemy is attacking fast enough.
I feel like From tried to make the game more difficult without adding the fun part to it. DS1 had easy enemies that you just sidestrafed and backstabbed, DS2 decided to add tracking to stop that, but they were still predictable and did their combos.
In DS3, enemies are hyper aggressive and unpredictable as fuck, and they still track as badly as DS2. It's like they took the pace from BB and put it into Souls without giving the player the right tools to combat that. It ends up feeling cheap. In fact, I think almost every enemy in the game feels cheap.
The more I play DS3 the more I want to play the previous games instead. Why the fuck would you make it more like Bloodbourne?
>>334898838
Yeah they've been fucking with me in every area so far.
>>334897225
>that narrow bridge
the amount of times they pull in packs makes this encounter fucking annoying as shit

>>334898748
DaS 3 enemies are constantly turntable-spinning, attacking through walls, and abusing (near-)limitless stamina and the two-hit poise reset.
They're all doable, but they're the worst-designed enemeis in the series by far. There is an inexcusable amount of genuinely lazy "lol this shud be hard" nonsense going on in this game.
>>334896923
Dogs are fucking rape machines this time around
>tfw 3 of them mercilessly groundpound me
>>334898809
I know but it's hard to break 40 hours worth of instincts that has (mostly) worked. Plus I'm dedicated to UGS, it'd feel wrong to give up on it at the last second, so I'm constantly getting countered.
>>334898863
I never found the Cloranthy ring, nor the Grass Crest Shield, and I usually do block one hit at a time, but sometimes the attacks just come too fast.
>>334898838
What, the fuckers with crosses on their backs in the swamp?
The skeleton ninjas with shotels that causes Bleed?
Every single fucking knight?
>Have enough poise to tank 2h Katana spam for about 2 hits in PVP
>An enemy with a dagger staggers me with one hit
>A rat staggers me with one hit
>Bump into a fragile hollow with no weapons
>He swings a punch at me
>I stagger
What the fuck man
>>334899063
The hardest part about being a sorcerer is that sorcery is basically trash and requires a huge investment in levels and equipment to even approach being as effective as anything else.
>>334893853
I fucking hate those things. First time through Farron Keep and they'll hit for 3/4 or all of your HP with a flying kick, or grab you with their broken ass hitboxes
On a side note, can a person in NG+ be summoned by a person in NG with password matching?
>>334893853
Those fucking tree Cleric beasts on the fucking poison swamp
>>334897572
I really liked the fat grandmas because I got raped by the first one, but then acquired proficiency and now they never hit me anymore, despite still being a decent challenge
>>334899248
Glad its not just me
These guys in packs tend to fuck me over sometimes.
>>334899256
If you wanna play as a mage, just start out as a pyromancer. Sorcerer is only good for pissing you off.
>>334899248
>Have enough poise

It doesn't exist anymore famalam
>>334899080
You forgot the skeleton ninjas.
>That room with TEN FUCKING JAILERS
You were designed to avoid them. You go forward to the room with mutant babies, then to another room, and then you're out on the other side of the chamber. You weren't supposed to fight them.
>>334893853
>jumps like a faggot to almost instakill you mario style
>instakills you like a faggot when constantly trying to grab you when hes not jumping like a crackhead

Fuck From for making this enemy. I dread this enemy more than the abyss watcher fight.
>>334898861Can you explain why?
>>334899219
the joke he's making is that he described almost every enemy
>>334899269
Probably. You can get summoned for NG+ from NG without one.
Don't mind me, I'm just trivializing every non-boss enemy in the game in combination with my buddy, the footstep squelching ring.
>>334896923
They are bitches in this game though.
Just use fire and they will roll around on their backs to put it out while you can slowly take your time and kill them.
>>334899343
its a number on the status screen, it's there!
>>334899343
>Get hit by greatsword of curved faggotry
>Doesn't stagger me
Explain
Poise literally only exists in player versus player scenarios, npc enemies seem to ignore it entirely.
>>334897931
Fuuuck these things
>>334899183
>play Lords of the Fallen
>get the heaviest armor possible while wielding a twohander
>enemy attacks barely scrape my health bar
>game has changed from rolling or blocking into sheer attrition instead
It had flaws, but goddamn I liked LotF. Would love to see a actual sequel with content.
>>334899062
the bosses and enemies are too eratic that I end up getting tunnel vision plus the camera is all over the fucking place. Even the enemies in bloodborne had slower attacks then this shit.
>Invade in Dark Souls 1
>If Host is nearing a boss, they have a phantom sometimes
>Invade in Dark Souls 2
>Host rarely has a phantom, only usually has one if they're very close to a major boss
>Invade in Dark Souls 3
>Host almost always has 2-3 phantoms, regardless of the difficulty of the area or if there's a major boss ahead
Is this just the nature of the series near launch?
Or has Dark Souls 3 attracted so many normies that they can't even make it to Vordt without an entire battalion to back them up?
>>334899337
Yeah pyromancy is fun, but I'm just saying int-based sorcerer is just hot garbage.
>>334899367
What if I want to rescue Karla?
I'd say the worst enemy is sequence breaking and missing shit.
I mean, I'd think I would have learned my lesson from the previous two games but I still fucked up tonnes of content the first time around.
There was this bleak moment where Firelink was exceptionally empty and I knew I had fucked up hard.
>>334899463
Poise only activates mid animation so your attacks don't get interrupted as often. Don't expect to poise through an anvil-sized hammer though.
>>334899367
Cant fight the mimic without aggroing the jailers.
>>334899561
slumbering dragoncrest ring + backstabs
There's a reason they move in a conga line.
>>334897931
I literally farmed them for easy souls, they were really easy to kill with a great club
>>334899561
Then provoke some of them with firebombs and wait behind a corner to attack.
>>334899557
Or they play with friends, because co-oping is fun.
>>334899561
Can still avoid them, easily. You can even release that fast Jesus fucker and lure him out, and he will fuck up the jailers for you.
>>334899561
You just run past them to the side cells or the covered part of the walkway, etc.
Or you can be a fucking pimp, time their little parade, then snipe the one in the back before zoidberging away to an alcove, raping him to death, then doing the same thing to his 9 fuckbuddies.
>>334899564
I somehow missed the cathedral and had to look up how to get the doll to enter that frozen city

This has happened enough times that I don't think it's coincidence anymore.
>>334899193
this.
I was having fun the first few areas but these later ones are really annoyingly hard. Like why does there have to be mages buffing the red eye knight with the two hander who then sharpens his sword for even MORE damage. Like come on your just asking me to sit there for 10 minutes picking at him with a bow.
Do we have some designated PVP soul level yet?
Is there a webm similar to https://youtu.be/A-4-QcCKhvE?list=PL_QtSMEGimbwflhD7mKuYKSCSodQx0Dd1&t=124 yet? I know the guy is a complete retard but holy shit.
Also
>enemy related is best enemy
The entire farron keep fucked me pretty hard.
Its the bottom of blight town without the rusted iron ring.
Come to think of it that makes it almost like the swamp in demon's.
Except the enemies are way worse and you are supposed to run across it to find 3 specific slots
The boss made up for it though. Really loved that one.
heavy weapons trivialise enemies because it
A. staggers them putting a halt to their faggotry
B. usually has a decent enough range to stop their faggotry before it comes into contact
C. does enough damage to ensure that you have as few engagements with their faggotry as possible
D. their movesets just inherently have poise sometimes? im not sure but ive been naked and done a few heavy moves with heavy weapons and expected to be jabbed out but took hits through the strike
>>334896923
They feel the same as always to me. Hold block and lightly strafe while they jump to wherever you were like two second ago. They're only trouble if you jump into a group of them, same as rats.
>>334899561
You can actually pull them 1 by 1 or 2 by 2
>>334899367
>You weren't supposed to fight them.
Of course you were dumbass, there's loot right in the middle. You're such a scrub.
>>334899618
Didn't have Orbeck at the time, and even if I did I wouldn't have bought anything because I was going no-magic.
I still managed to clear that room with a bow, lots of arrows and lots of patience but you can't tell me that whole place wasn't designed to infuriate people
>>334899809
It's annoying until you realize that poison in this game does almost nothing. Just get poisoned and go about your business.
Im not too sure why, I really got a kick out of the ones that threw their meat pots at you, after the initial mad I was giggling at how swatted I got off that bridge.
I've probably also spent the most time in that area, getting to grips with my build and the enemies.
OP's is probably my least favorite, using a slow weapon and 2 handed, they are a pain.
>>334897410
>shields dont break
nigga what
I've broken knight shields just hitting them
I've actually used shield-break weapon arts to rape shield knights
games not the problem, you are
>>334899659
> that fast Jesus fucker
Was there any point to him? I must have died to him 3 or 4 times, having to waste time kiting jailers over and over just to get to him since I figure he's hiding some real sweet shit, then I finally kill him, go into his room, and it's EMPTY. What the fuck is his deal? Is it some lore thing?
>>334899875
I got cursed way more than I died through poison. Seriously did they really have put the basilisks in that swamp and then have you be invaded right there.
>>334899754
Each time I summon for a boss, we end up trading of sorts. I get focused, I go on the defense and let the bro deal damage. When he deals enough to get aggro, he starts rolling and dodging while I deal damage. Rinse and repeat.
Sucks to summon a troll though who doesn't do anything.
>>334899193
This is literally so false. How can this be said after DS2? I like DS2 but that game is FULL of what you're talking about and playing DS3 everything was a relative breeze. It is by far the fairest and best communicated souls game, no doubt.
Enemies hitting you through walls does happen, but that's always happened so maybe I just don't get mad or know that that is a possibility with some dudes.
Those fucking knights that patrol every fucking area and ice dancer-looking fuckers are the ones that give me the worst problems. Also, is it me, or do Silver Knights hit like a fucking truck in this game compare to DaS I?
>>334899890
Since I somehow missed a bonfire, I'd run from the bonfire with one of these guys next to it, over that path where the giants shoots arrows at, to the boss
More often than not I'd kill that guy for the fun, and by now I know his skills in and out
Pretty cool enemy
>>334899083
I feel the same way, Dark Souls 1 was the most comfortable for me because it was slower and I could take my time.
>>334899768
So far there's some debate over 100 or 120. 120 seems to be favored by those faggots that want to use max strength weapons and high powered armor with strong sorceries. Level 600 people from Dark Souls 2 who can't accept they can't be a god of everything anymore.
80 is the sweetspot for general invasions and PVP in all areas.
15-30 is the sweetspot for Watchdog invasions.
60-80 is the sweetspot for Mound Makers.
I'll side with SL 100 meta.
>>334897410
Hey, listen.
Twohanding your weapon makes it not bounce off shields. Any weapon.
>>334899765
Your "this" had nothing to do with your post. Those guys are only slightly harder with their buff, and it's pretty short so you should of course kill their companion ASAP.
B-team would be proud of those side bite hitboxes
>>334899765
And don't forget all the fucking retarded Doom 3 style monster closets.
Every single archer/grenadier in the game has two or three more faggots hiding around a corner, on top of a tall ledge, or over a wall right next to him so that they can try to gangbang you when you rush up there to smear that little pussy piece of shit. Every. Single. Fucking. One. Every shiny that's not already guarded by visible enemies will spawn a bunch on top of you when you go to pick it up. Every. Single. Fucking. One.
This shit gets so predictable it's embarrassing. Neo-FROM at work.
>>334899968
It's to punish you for hiding from the jailers.
>>334900065
>Level 600 people from Dark Souls 2 who can't accept they can't be a god of everything anymore
And thank fuck for that. Hated that shit.
>The fingerfaced eyebears.
>The SCP-682's.
>Jailers. Mostly fun, but the ground floor jailerfest is some bullshit.
>The fireball monkeywizards.
>Big Crabs.
>Hollows that burst into dinosaurs.
>>334900094
This enemy has to be some remaining asset from Dark Souls 2 they didn't get to use.
>>334899557
I soloed the two dark souls except this one. When I died in das1 I felt like I needed to improve, or try a different approach. When I die in das3 it usually just feels like bullshit. Maybe I'm casul but this game just doesn't have enough legitimate challenge to make me feel accomplished when I defeat a tough enemy or boss, and certain areas are just intolerably awful with enemy placement. Pulling faggots 1 by 1 is not fun, trying to crash through an ambush with the fucked poise mechanic is not fun. More stupid mobs of enemies than das2. Co op PvP is fun as hell though.
>inb4 git gud
I got gud, this game just has a lot of questionable elements.
Where the fuck do I get more refined gems?
>>334899968
Nope. Just a nice, juicy Fuck You from neo-From. They do it several times in DaS 3.
>Those jumping enemies with shotels that use throwing daggers
The two enemies I really, really hated were the jailers that stole all of hp and apparently equip load simpily by looking at you (Is there any way to avoid this, like equip a ring, hold an item or something?) and the black things that pop out of people, they're just shittily designed, too big to see any of their attacks up close, take 1000 times fire damage and scream around for 4 seconds and throw curse at you. It's literally, have fire or get shit on because you can't see anything.
>>334900169
See, I got gud too.
But I guess I got better. Because I don't understand your fucking complaint about the enemies being bullshit. I've encountered one fucking enemy I thought was bullshit, and it's an optional fucking boss. Everything else has some way of beating it that, once you'vegotten gudtrivializes that enemy.
>>334900094
>still can't get enough of berserk references so they put this shit in the game
>make greatswords shit
>kills all guts cosplaying
The saddest thing are characters named Guts or artorias who clearly caved in and are running around with an estoc or a dark sword.
>>334900096
The mimics are pretty surprising/everywhere especially the one in the room with the stray demon.
>>334900173
You don't.
>>334896204
Different people find different things difficult. How is that hard to understand?
>>334900026
Pretty much the same. I think they are a very well designed early enemy, they look intimidating, they have good attack patterns, just well done.
>>334899972
>Summon a troll
Here's the thing
I don't think they're trolls
I got a message from one guy after I bailed, realizing he wanted me to play for him, asking why I left and that I'm an asshole for letting him get killed.
>>334893982
What do i have to do there? Am i suposed to jump off and land on the dragon?
>>334900065
>15
Seriously? With a 10 Sl range there are seriously people who run towards farron keep and are only level fucking 5?
>>334900227
Run up to them before lantern turns red.
Shielded mace knights who enchant their weapon aswell ugghhhhhh
>>334900357
I don't pretend to understand why, that just seems to be what trial and error has discovered. People stop getting Watchdog invasions almost entirely after SL 30.
>>334900220
>yfw they flip through the geometry into oblivion
>>334896752
Good list, spot on.
>>334900412
Are you sure they just don't accidently upgrade their weapons too far?
Its not just SL it is also weapon upgrade level that influences invasions.
>>334900173
Pretty sure the knights near sunbro altar have a chance to drop them. May apply to other knights in vicinity especially ones wielding ultra greatswords
>>334900306
Yeah, same for the pot-bashing ones. They're rather easy to dodge and predict, but when you overextend and get caught in their bash you really feel the pain
>>334900094
Roll into the bites like the watchdog from bloodborne. Good luck with the body slam if you don't have a shield though.
>>334900094
>get under his dick

How?
>>334900135

Jesus fucking christ this is not that hard.
>>334900430
One of the milkring skeletons flipped halfway through the ground and wall and ended up watching me with just his head poking up out of a bonepile
>>334900291
>That feral mimic.
That's how you subvert expectations and catch the player by suprise.
I fucking love evangelists, especially their sound design.
>>334900496
The autists in the dark souls general have gone to great lengths to figure this shit out.
SL 15-30 with +3 weapons. That's the Watchdog SL meta.
>Lothric Castle
>Lothric Knights hit harder than before
>A lot more of the blue ones
>Healers who also buff them
>Buffed up blue knight with an enchanted weapon can one shot me at 30 Vitality.
Lothric Castle wasn't fun.
>>334897410
Two-hand Longsword R1 to break guards.
Or just kick the shield which does the same thing.
Okay this was pretty cruel, but it was nowhere near as bad as the time they did it in Demon's Souls.
>>334900631
Really? I had 27 vit and never got ohko'd.
>>334900626
Weird. Maybe they match up closer to their own sl and the sl 15 aren't actually invading sl 5s but other 15s.
that seems like something that will change a little while after release.
>>334900613
what? I beat the game but I don't remember that
>Lets make it so people can be dragons!
>Lets make it absolutely worthless at the same time!
I HATE YOU FROM I HATE YOU SO FUCKING MUCH
>>334900542
They are bullshit is what they are.
I'm considering giving up on that room. I've got the one that starts awake and drops the weapon. The other two though, I just can't take it. Do they also drop something special?
>>334900698
Why would they do this?
Just put one.
>>334900631
You mean vigor?
>>334900698
>sorcery
You mad fool.
You poor, poor mad fool.
The group of undeads locked in a single cage. I've never fought the because I'd just 1 shot them before they became active, but they're cool and kinda unsettling to watch move around
>>334900631
I really don't get it.
Why the hell does everything get a boost there? And almost all of the combat encounters are shit too.
>>334900631
If they one-shot you it probably meant you had a combination of weak armor and were hit while you were in mid-swing.
Getting hit in mid-swing adds like 50% more damage. When those assholes do a double handed swing that's been buffed you're just going to fucking die.
>>334900698
That had to be a in-joke with the devs, throwing out all those items on the ground when the only valuable item comes from the monsters themselves
>>334900748
You ain't FULL Dragon, m8
>>334900745
I don't remember where, but there's a mimic who has a different set of animations, is a lot more agressive and hits harder. It crawls around on all four.
>>334900767
Whichever raised your HP.
>>334900784
When is a wizard not a mad fool
>>334900613
>think I'm going to be a smartass and just stay in between its legs while I slash away at its balls
>it fucking flips and chomps me down
>>334898685
Not true, if you build your entire build around magic it does a ton, crystal souls spear will one shot almost anyone in PvP
>>334900865
I think there's some of those in Lothric Castle, definitely 1 at least.
>>334900826
Well I think that's just bullshit.
I had more trouble with these assholes than Dragonslayer Armour and the Prince duo

>>334900865
I didn't fight a single fucking mimic throughout the entire game. I fought them enough. I'm not going to put up with their spin-kicking bullshit again or their "I got backstabbed but I'm going to chomp this hollow anyways".
I'm somewhat sad that I missed meeting unique mimics because I stared at every fucking chest lid to see if it was breathing or not before Undead Hunter Charming that shit.
