I know there are a lot of other threads up for Dark Souls 3 right now, but have one more just in case you're not annoyed enough by them yet.Fuck /vg/
>>334905543
>Favourite area to explore/for its aesthetic?
no area has really been a standout so far (just made it to the Profaned capital at level 24), but its been a great adventure so far.
>Favourite weapon?
Been using a raw Astora Straight Sword and its tearing shit up
>Favourite armour set?
Fallen Knight is the coolest one ive seen so far
>Favourite boss and OST?
haven't really noticed anything
>Favourite enemy design?
Those drowned-girl-spider things creeped me out when I first saw them.
>Best NPC?
Anri, but then I killed her for her sword.
>Worst NPC?
Patches. I missed him at the cathedral and now I don't know where he is.
>Worst feature?
Covenants. Way of Blue and Blue Sentinels should have been the same cov, mad phantoms just seem like easy mode dark phantoms, two covs have defense areas that dont overlap and no other online traits. Whole thing is a bit of a mess, I think more could have been done with fewer covs.
>>334905543
Might as well try and ask here again:
What's the best way to play with magic?
I've already beaten the game twice with a knight and I wanna try something different. Might even go for the cheevos
>>334905543
>>Favourite area to explore/for its aesthetic?
Can't decide, a lot of them look really good. Maybe Archdragon Peak even though I absolutely hate that place.
>>Favourite weapon?
Either Lothric Knight Sword or Refined Drakeblood sword.
>>Favourite armour set?
Lothric Knight set.
>>Favourite boss and OST?
Nameless King was pretty cool, but I also loved Deacons.
Abyss Watchers is the only OST that really stuck with me
>>Favourite enemy design?
Cathedral Knights or those spider things in the Irithyll sewers
>>Best NPC?
Uh ... dunno, Anri seems the least annoying
>>Worst NPC?
Sirris probably. "Oh you relocated your stats? Then we're enemies even though you've never invaded anyone ever"
>>Worst feature?
Dunno, there's a lot of things I don't like. Not being able to upgrade armor, poise fucking over a lot of things, greatswords being weak, magic being nigh useless, having to level up with a firekeeper AGAIN ... can't decide.
Did somebody sayBOSS?
>>334909604
thats not a boss, thats a tutorial.
>>334909604
He wasn't that hard, but his kick was really annoying. Thank god he didn't transform again at least, I couldn't see shit when he did that in the tutorial
>>334909625
That's Champion Gundyr doughnut steel

How the fuck are you supposed to beat Soul of Cinder? This fight is absolute bullcrap.

What the diddly fuck muffins is this nonsense? I was completely out of estus at this point having used 11, and now I'm just sat here wondering how I'm supposed to beat this asshole.

So Siegward fell off a cliff and died during the demon battle. Am I fucked? What will I miss?
At least I got his armor which is way better than anything I can find this early on in the game
>>334909747
I beat him after a few tries, honestly his first phase is the hardest for me because he fucks me up when going to Dex mode.
After that he fights like Gwyn, with the only real danger is his 5 hit combo which is pretty telegraphed anyway
Can someone tell me who the "yurt" of this game is? I really don't want to deal with that shit on my first playthrough
Anyone done a Gatsu run yet?
>Favourite area to explore/for its aesthetic?
Irithyll Dungeon
>Favourite weapon?
Flamberge
>Favourite armour set?

>Favourite boss and OST?
Champion Gundyr. Perfect parried until he died, and I liked the dark Firelink area for the fight.
>Favourite enemy design?
Those folk that grow wings. I loved my first encounter with them.
>Best NPC?
Greirat
>Worst NPC?

>Worst feature?
Armour seems pretty useless considering most of it weighs more than it's worth. If I can add a garbage area as a terrible feature, it's Smouldering Lake.

>Worst feature?
Not able to roll while casting magic, and magic consuming both Stamina and FP.
boy am I cute or what
>Favourite area to explore/for its aesthetic?
Irithyll was probably the most memorable so far. I like Archdragon Peak too.
>Favourite weapon?
Dark Sword because I can't find anything else with a good moveset and worthwhile Faith scaling with or without lightning infuse.
>Favourite armour set?
I really like the Undead Legion armor and the Nameless King's armor.
>Favourite boss and OST?
Boss would have to be Nameless King because I think I have died to him more than every other boss combined so far. Phase 2 kicked my ass constantly. OST goes to Abyss Watchers.
>Favourite enemy design?
This is a hard one, but I liked the looks of the enemies in Irithyll, even though they were a pain to fight.
>Best NPC?
Greirat or Anri
>Worst NPC?
Sirris because she fucked off the moment I wanted to respec.
>Worst feature?
No good support for Faith scaling and magic sucks in general. DaS2 was the worse game but I enjoyed being in full Heide armor and using a Watcher Greatsword.
>>334909928
Don't think there is one.
Lothric Bros are fuckin' crazy, senpaitachi.
>>334909604
Champion Gundyr is honestly my favourite boss in the whole game. It's a straight 1v1 melee fight with no bullshit gimmicks or transformations. I wish all the bosses in DaS3 were like this.
>Tonnes of people summon for this fight effectively making it a cakewalk
It's a real shame. I'm convinced half the people playing this game don't even attempt a boss solo, they just summon two guys and breeze through everything.
>>334909914
A meme questline and a titanite slab. So not much really.
>>334905543
every single person I invade is a nigger. 3v1, taunting if they win. mcdonalds interntet.

>Favourite area to explore/for its aesthetic?
Profaned Capital. I really enjoy the "old ruins" underground sort of thing. Always, always enjoyable. Though I didn't really like the sewers before it.
>Favourite weapon?
Nameless King's Dragonslayer Swordspear is 10/10. God, it's beautiful.
>Favourite armour set?
I really like Nameless King's chest piece, but I dislike his pants and helmet. Currently I'm wearing Pyromancer Starter Circlet. Pyromancer Starter Chest. Ornsteins boots. Ornsteins Gloves. I was going for a whole Barbarian / Conan look. Works really well.
>Favourite boss and OST?

>>334910081
I hope you are kidding. This boss is absolute bullshit with his combos/kick/stunlocks in phase 2.
>>334910081
They're screwing theirself out of getting good, and won't get to experience a really great fight. I love the fights with phase changes that aren't just adding another enemy, or suddenly throwing things down from the sky. It's just a fight that gets turned up to 11, and it's great.
>>334905543
I'm a professional cowboy and I use catheters. Been cowboyin' for 25 years. I've had 14 broken bones, 2 concussions and a punctured lung. I know pain and I don't want any more of it. Especially when I cath.
>>334909168
Pick a weapon that will carry you until you can put 40+ points in your preferred school, 30/30 for pyromancy. Rank attunement until you have at least four slots. Find the accessories that best help your school asap.
Gameplay involves weaving spells and melee together. NEVER EVER rely solely on magic, your mana bar won't be able to handle it.
I'm only in the second area (the one where you fight the cursed tree boss) I have to take the game slow because of work. Any levels in this game manage to match Tower of Latria in terms of atmosphere?
>>334909625
That's the Champion, not the Judge and its pretty strong. I faced it with no parry because I had the wrong shield and it was a pretty intense battle.
This fucker makes ari combos like in a fighting game.
>>334910268
Irrythil dungeon is the closest.
>>334910220
When it dies down, sure. At the moment, /dsg/ is shit.

>Favourite area to explore/for its aesthetic?
Hard to say, I wanna say Irythril area in general. From the courtyard to the dungeons. Although it's a love/hate thing. Snowy quiet area of blue and white, outside lake with the moon, dark horrific dungeon with green lights. Enemies here can easily fuck me up if I'm not careful.
>Favourite weapon?
Alot of them appeal to me but I've been sticking with the Lothric Knight Sword + Dragoncrest Shield. Sword & Board Knight scrub for first playthrough. Trying to get gud with great scythe but it's hard.
>Favourite armour set?
Nameless Knight Set + Lothric Helm + Cathedral Knight Set, mix of those. I switch between these 2 sets. Been enjoying swapping armor pieces, seem to be easier to mix compared to DS2.
>Favourite boss and OST?
I'm not sure yet, I haven't finished. I enjoyed alot of them even though they pushed my shit in alot. Props to tutorial boss, good tutorial for new players. Enjoyed Deacon of the Deep + Abyss Watchers theme. Nameless King too.
>Favourite enemy design?
Maybe the Pus of Men/dark dragon things that come out of random undead. Pain in the ass to deal with but goddamn when you first meet one. Also props to enemies in Irythill Dungeon in general. Great scary area to go in first time.
>Best NPC?
I dunno yet
>Worst NPC?
I dunno yet either
>Worst feature?
-parts of online (some convenant functions)
-armor being pointless, makes for good fashion souls though
-current state of magic
-combat feels too fast-paced for a Souls game at times, mostly relentless enemies in some areas or slower you. Or I just need to get gud.
Still having a hell of a blast though.
Taking a break after Nameless King alone. Goddamn, what an ordeal for that and Champion Gundyr.
>>334905543
How the fuck is there no rusted iron ring in this game?
>>334910036
Dragonscale armour + firelink helmet is the cosiest combination, give it a try senpai.
>>334910631
I was bummed too
learned about using dagger weapon art after i was past swamp
>>334910449
Pairing it with the Ring of Favor is pretty good. Good pick if you're not using a heavier weapon, otherwise havel's gives you more equip load to play with.
>>334910471
Get over it, and fuck off back to /dsg/ if it bothers you that much. I'll go there when it's less shit, unless I decide I want to continue discussing the game here instead, because it's hardly different.
>>334905543
>Favourite area to explore/for it's aesthetic
Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. Despite it being filled with some tough enemies and gank sqauds, it's still the most visually appealing area in the game. I love Archdragon Peak as well.
>Favourite weapon
My favourite is probably Dragonslayer Bow, just because it's a cool looking bow. The weapon I use the most is a Darksword however, mainly for that sweet, sweet damage.
>Favourite armour set
I don't really use full sets, but at the moment I'm rocking the Farron Helm, Drang armour, Knights gauntlets, and Elite Knight leggings. I look fucking dapper, m8.
>Favourite OST
Soul of Cinder. Hands down.
>Favourite enemy design
Dancer of the Boreal Valley. The way she moves and fights is brilliant.
>Best NPC
Anri (Female) or Karla.
>Worst NPC
Most of them are garbage desu.
>Worst feature
Gimmicky bosses.
>>334910670
I've been using it with the Ring of Favor, but I use a greatsword. I just haven't noticed a big impact from using it.
>>334910861

>>334910643

>>334911237
>Extremely cool boss fights like wolnir, yhorm
>Extremely cool boss fights
>Wolnir and Yhorm
That is some extremely shit tier taste, anon. Both those bosses are raw GARBAGE, and both rely on gimmicks.
>>334911384
but gimmicky bosses are fun when done right
>wolnir
gave me the biggest fucking adrenaline rush and i love huge skeletons
>yhorm
a nice throwback to demons souls and hes actually beatable without his fucking gimmick if you have an hour of patience
>>334911478
>gimmicky bosses are fun when done right
Only Yhorm is good.
Wolnir is just ass.
>>334911237
>stupid shit like the huge ballista in smouldering marsh.
There's a bonfire closer to the boss so you don't have to deal with the ballista. Or, you can go and disable the whole thing.
>>334911554
You could just not die to the fog. He's still a good fight.
>>334911554
I would have preferred to fight Yhorm in a more traditional manner. Could have been a cooler version of the Giant Lord fight in DaS2, but they ruined it with a dumb gimmicky weapon.
>>334911237
>>334911590
he could also count to three but clearly that's above his pay grade
>>334911554
i disagree, he had some great atmosphere was much more exciting than say the fucking nameless king
>>334911590
i know, the ballista still hits you if you're anywhere on the stairs and i think that's just bull shit
i disabled the ballista afterwards
>>334911646
how so? did your world crumble to dust now that you realized someone has an opinion different to yours?
>>334911593
I died to the fog a grand total of one time. It's a cheap death, mixed with the worst gimmick a boss can have. Hit me in exactly 3 places before the killer timers ticks over.

What.
>>334912045
I genuinely don't get it. Are they trying to swing their slow weapon at an enemy as it's attacking them with a faster weapon, then complaining it didn't work? That's stupid. Time your attacks better, and control your swings.

>Worst feature?
Removal of PvP Sin and Blue Eye Orb invasions. Right now red eye invasions are more lucrative than ever due to
-full orb being obtainable relatively early in the game
-successful invasion rewards resurrection items again
-being able to invade when not in full HP form again (thank god)
-level reset mechanic is tied to a PvP covenant, meaning invaders can reroll their stats for optimal builds
-killing a blue defensive invader nets you two extra covenant items
which are all great changes, but there are no consequences for fucking people up. During my two playthroughts I was never able to get summoned as a Blue / Darkmoon member, though I fought against them as a red invader on quite a few occasions. Blue / Darkmoon and Wolf covenant invasion requirements are way too restrictive.
>>334912201
The Dragon part is piss easy. Just hit him on the head instead of his legs, as that does a lot more damage. If you hit him enough he also stumbles backwards, at which point you can perform a riposte-like grab attack on the head and deal massive damage.
>>334912201
It's actually insanely easy once you get it down. Just roll through his spear, wait for the dragons head to come down and then go ham on it with a lightening weapon. After that it's just a standard 1v1 duel.
slavic squat
>>334912201
If you're melee, you pretty much need to summon for it. The dragon phase is some serious bullshit for solo melee builds.
>>334912169
SOC has like, 5 different movesets which going in you have no idea what they are and after the first phase he gets a 5 hit combo which is pretty telegraphed once you notice the tell but has insane range and you have to roll away like 4 times. So that's 2 deaths that make sense if you went in blind. So unless you knew the patterns beforehand, had tons of levels or summoned I don't think you could do it in 2 tries unless you are some sort of souls autist or used magic
>>334912386
>the dragon phase is some serious bullshit for solo melee builds.
no it isn't, are you joking?
>>334912386
>If you're melee, you pretty much need to summon for it.
Git gud. You can target the Dragon's head and hit him there. He constantly keeps it low enough for melee weapon range.
>can't infuse crossbows
Why?
>>334912386
the dragon phase is really easy, EXCEPT for the camera fucking you up. Everything he does is easily avoidable.
>>334909928
Leonhard, but only if you use rosaria's services/offer her a pale tongue
>>334912386
>not heading the drake enough that you gouge out the fucker's eye
Maybe, you're just bad.
>>334912684
the only one he kills is rosaria anyway, who you get to ressurect
>>334912684
Leon is more of Lautrec than Yurt.
>>334912684
He's not really comparable, because unlike DeS' Yurt he doesn't permanently remove NPC services from the game. However there are many other ways you can fuck up and lock certain NPC trainers / merchants for the rest of the game.
>>334912386
I'm pretty sure every melee weapon when two handed has some sort of vertical swing.
Just use a greatsword two handed man. Or kukris fuck his ass.

Covenants. A lot of them feel too samey. There's 3 forest bros for instance.
I was going for a black guard look. I also fell in love with these broken twin swords.
>>334912845
Yeah, on my first playthrough I somehow managed to fuck up literally all but one NPC questline and ended up with a desolate Firelink Shrine by the end of the game.
>>334909747

im the guy who said he did in two.
>SL80
>lorians great sword +5
>15 estus +10
only used 2 estus in the first phase. the only time i died was when he grabbed me and did that flaming skewer.
admittedly id watched the fight on twitch before release. i had a much harder time with pontiff
>>334912892
Are those twin swords quality or dex? because I wanted to use them but I went with oni instead.
>>334913049
Yeah. I have the choice of a +10 Darksword, or a +10 Fire Longsword.
>>334913208
look at this fucking pleb
>longsword +10
lmao dude kys
Is it just me or is this way easier than the last games?
The only boss I've died to so far is Aldrich (just beat him) thanks to his bs 1 shot arrow rain attack.
Also straight swords seem OP, still using my Astora straight sword.
>tfw Greirat didn't make it back from Irithyll
>>334913191
Quality. I'm going to clean up my build later when I get the better havel's and fap ring.
>>334913304
FIRE longsword. It does nowhere near the damage a regular +10 Longsword would be doing. It's more of a situational weapon really, for stuff which is weak to fire. I'm also in the process of upgrading a Lighting Longsword to +10. There's no reason not to use any of the small straight swords, because they're fucking brilliant.
>>334913414

Who else here is doing a SL1 run?
at crystal sages and using a fire longsword, not much trouble so far. any tips from someone who has gotten further in the game with it?
also trying to get good at parrying, actually way easier then I though when you actually use a small shield, medium shield parrying its stupidly hard in comparison.

How do you get messages on steam?
Started a new character, just running around with the parrying dagger learning how to parry everything.
My favourite boss is probably Nameless King, Wolnir or Deacons of the Deep.
Worst feature is how the game fucking stores your actions when you get hit so you automatically roll or attack the moment you leave hitstun, it's fucking stupid.
>>334914239

How is it fair that he restores all his HP?
Are there any tricks to some boss fights?
Like in Bloodborne, you could play a music box and disable Father Gascoigne for a few seconds. Numbing mist stopped Vicar Amelia's healing.
I know when you're fighting the giant, you can use the storm ruler. But, that's really just copied from DeS

You need a gesture found at the Untended Graves (Or the the area just before that.), and then you need to go back to Irithyll Dungeon and use the gesture where those statues are sar down with their legs crossed looking up at a floating island in the sky. That's Archdragon Peak and where you find the Nameless King boss fight.

I'm at the end of the game now with only two bosses left and I'm clocked at 35 hours. I think that's reasonable, and it's certainly bigger than Bloodborne. Definitely smaller than DaS2 though, no doubt. Even without the DLC.
>>334914126
Bait out his quick jabs with rolls and wait for him to do a 2-3 hit strong to punish him. When he has the homing missiles you can usually get away with one attack and manage to roll away if one or more of them proc. always roll to the right or left when the lightning comes.
>>334915003
So do I actually. I also miss the ability to upgrade weapons to +15. You get so much fucking titanite by the end of the game you end up having nothing to spend it on. I get large shards and chunks off regular enemies now. I have like 35 twinkling titanite as well.

>>334915874
Your heavy attack also is vertical.
And jumping attack. Just want for the proper time to hit the dragon head. Like after the king does a combo or during the dragon breathing fire on the ground.
>>334915958
Yeah but using the Heavy Attack is just asking to get buttfucked

>>334917069
To be fair, invaders are more often in need than hosts.
>>334910350
Pretty sure the way it functions is AGGROED enemies focus on wearer. So good for co-op.
>>334917189
how do you even join someone in jolly co-invasion? Is it just invading yourself and hoping you're the second man?
>invade group
>host used dried finger
>they've killed every enemy in the area and they are now just killing invaders as they spawn in because, worst case scenario, it will be a 3v2 matchup
>penalized for leaving groups like these, softbanned after enough penalty has accrued
There is no defending the shitty invasion system.
So, knowing From, how long until they fix it? A week? A month? Dark Souls 3: Scholar to Die Edition?
>>334917175
They should let me know and I will attend the invasion then. 3v1 is not what jolly cooperation is about.
>>334917485
The summoner has to have used the dried finger (I think), which changes the maximum extra players from 2 co-op phantoms and 1 invader to 3 co-op phantoms and 2 invaders.
Very rarely will you get summoned for 1v1 or 2v2.
>>334917485
>how do you even join someone in jolly co-invasion? Is it just invading yourself and hoping you're the second man?
Basically yes if you're a red phantom. Host has to have used the Dried Finger. Dried Finger allows host to summon one more friendly phantom, but also puts them on a priority list for invasions and allows two red invaders at once. Aldrich's Faithful covenant works different and there can be two invaders at once even without the host having used Dried Finger.
I hear The Mound-Makers covenant, who also invade using Red Eye Orb work a little bit different from Rosaria's Fingers in that their invasions always prioritize worlds with lots of players (white phantoms, red phantoms, blue phantoms, other grape phantoms) because their job is killing anyone and everyone instead of just the host.
>>334917916
>they've killed every enemy in the area and they are now just killing invaders as they spawn in because, worst case scenario, it will be a 3v2 matchup
How often does this even happen? And invasions worked the same exact way in the previous games.
>penalized for leaving groups like these
According the wiki using black crystal doesn't penalize, unlike pulling the cord.

>>334918768
Well he's not literally the CU, but that is definitely a player. Uses player weapons and fighting styles, switches between movesets and spells the player can use, though significantly buffed. Soul of Cinders is meant to represent player characters, definitely. The whole box art thing is also a bit of a giveaway.
>>334918768
>headcanon
The boss soul description outright statesSoul of Cinder is the physical embodiment of all the previous Fire linkers, not to mention the boss itself uses tons of same attacks and abilities that the player can also use. It's all the previous Chosen Undeads. In the second phase however he changes to Gwyn's moveset.

I'm honestly not entirely sure what to make of mound makers. It seems like it was made for fucking about but your options are so limited you might as well just be a red.
>tfw you don't like any of the armor sets present in DaS3
>>334919674
You can also use the Red Eye Orb as a Mound-Maker (acting similarly to regular invaders), though like said here >>334918268 grapebro matchmaking prioritizes worlds with most players for maximum chaos since their objectives are slightly different from regular red phantoms.
>>334919674
Mound makers were fun early game when people didn't know that you could kill them but I've found late game the host is just immediately hostile.
This is my first character.
Used the same starting weapons the entire playthrough and still doing so now at NG+3. started as merc.
>>334920072
>acting similarly to regular invaders
yeah, but that's a bit of a turn-off for me. I want to fuck about, kill some enemies, gather up a train and lead them to the host, swap around between targeting the host or invaders, and do all that noise without having to wait to be invited. If I red-eye it's just another gang up on the host deal unless someone else actually invaded.

Use white branches, escape firebombs, undead hunter charms, invade in more cramped levels with difficult to kill or ranged mobs. If the host and his group chickens out disappear from their sight and wait behind a corner until they work up the courage to advance forward, then fuck their shit up.
>>334921810
The game refers to her with female pronouns and so will I
>>334921593
You cray cray. The animations are cool as hell and the sword itself is well-skinned and catches the light beautifully.
Pontiff tips? He's a cunt.
And am I not supposed to go to Irithyll Dungeon yet? I cleared out what I could but couldn't seem to progress any further, thought maybe I needed a key past Pontiff.

>>334922125
i just don't like curved swords.
How do I do a follow up to the parry?
I only do 2 hits parry yet I've seen people have an additional hit while the opponent is on the floor, I thought getting the hornet ring would change it but it doesn't seem like it.

You can parry his flaming sword. Think Gwyn but with more moves. In his second phase, don't attack when he's growing wings, but do attack while he's summoning his Stand.

Kill the doppelganger, it has relatively little HP. Pontiff tries to resummon it, during which you can land free hits both on him and the copy.

But nope, the catalyst you get from his soul says he, I was wrong
Find me a cuter set. Protip:you can't
>>334922136
Don't run away, hug his left arm and he'll miss half of his swings. When he summons his clone mash R1/RB and kill it before he summons it.
Any point in reinforcing shield if i only parry with it?

Took me 20 tries (DaS3 is my first soulsborne), but even after that I still don't feel I can reliably dodge his follow-ups, they just seem to blend in without any telegraphing, I could be wrong though.

the lack of dialog and over ambiguous questlines, you used to stumble upon characters.
I think I specced my character really poorly.
Too much focus on getting heavy armour early, when health probably would have been a better investment.

Increasing reinforcement on a shield or weapon that's infused with Blessed or Simple gem also increases the passive HP / FP regen.

>>334923345
if you go into the Bridge in Irithyll while embered you can find Sirris' summon sign and be summoned to help her fight Creighton.
after you help her Creighton will invade you in the graveyard next to the Yorshka's church bonfire
after you kill him his armor will be in the same bridge you helped Sirris
hope that wasn't too confusing

>Worst feature?
Probably not having balanced weapons properly. Greatswords are shit in PvE except against Lothric Princes. They needed more stagger damage on humanoid bosses.

Basically just do the bare minimum to get through each phase other than sorcery, during which you can easily take out 2/3 of his health with almost zero risk of death due to how badly he handles circle strafing and some super basic roles. Phase 2 is a bitch though.

You're reading the wrong wiki. It does penalize.
>Favourite area to explore/for its aesthetic?
Irithyll.
>Favourite weapon?
Raw ASS. Would prefer to use a good Spear though.
>Favourite armour set?
Haven't decided. Just been rocking the Herald start stuff.
>Favourite boss and OST?
Sulyvanh was goat, Abyss Watchers had a cooler track though.
>Favourite enemy design?
Black Knight
>Best NPC?
Irina a qt
>Worst NPC?
None that I hate but Yorksha has a really creepy design.
>Worst feature?
Dankmoons not even working properly.
>>334905543
why is like every second chest in this game a mimic?
>>334929918
Fucking really? At least lie properly.
Am I the only person who beat Yhorm without that memesword because I didn't even know you were supposed to use it to beat him? Didn't even bother to read it or anything. Please tell me I'm not alone here.
>>334905543
Nameless King has the only attack from a boss I am not sure what to do with.
The fucking birds attack where it goes up in the air and breathes fire is impossible for me to avoid, I have no idea what to do.
So I got spoiled on Seigward's questline, and he's not in the well.
Is he only there once I clear the cethedral, or did I fuck up by meeting Patches at Firelink first?
tfw chair
>best area
any area thats stable honestly.
I fucking hated the outside of cathedral though, that area was designed by a retard.
>favorite weapon
longsword. I used it for my first dark souls playthrough so I decided I would go back to it in ds3. Turns out it was a good idea because str was nerfed.
>favorite armor set
ive been making my own fashion souls but leonhards is fun.
I like doing winged helm, lothric chest, winged hands, and outrider legs for a cool knight set.
>boss and ost
princes has best theme. as for best boss I dont know. pontiff was cool but died first try. dancer was hard but wasnt really amazing. if watchers ran better it would be best.
>favorite enemy design
I dont really have a favorite
>best npc
well i fucked up everything but greirat(until ithiryll) and leonhard.
Greirat was a bro though.
>worst npc
sirris was pretty wierd. showed up onw time and vanished forever. then i join rosaria and she appears telling me we were enemies. i killed her ass.
>worst feature
npcs used to appear in the world doing there own things.
now you have to be really meticulous to have a chance
>>334930506
Upgrade a staff to a decent level and use soul arrow for that phase, unless you have <10 int and you can't respec
>>334930704
Can't he see the sparks flying off the chair?
>>334910081
When I put my summon sign down so I could rank up in sunbros I saw tons of people who had never fought the bosses before. Not only are they ruining the game for themselves but they're pissing me off because they don't skip the damn cutscene!
>>334930805
Technically yes
Good luck to him though, chameleon/birch and go seek is like prop hunt on crack. I dried finger'd in Anor Londo and made lunch while disguised as a statue. I know I'm awful
>>334930805
I'm wondering that myself
I guess they just don't pay attention to details when they've become frustrated after been running around for 15 minutes
He came back and I repositioned the chair several times and he never noticed, hilarious
>arrive at anor Londo for the first time
>lay out is the exact same
Holy fuck is the giant still there?
>mfw
>mfw I see the inside
>mfw I see what happened to gwyndolin
>>334914919
fallen knight is too heavy, trying to stay under 30%.
>>334931507
>messing up Anri's questline and finding him in the tomb
Things went really grim at Anor in general.
>>334931735
>trying to stay under 30
why on earth would you do that?
the difference between lightrolling and midrolling is negligible
