What's the most Bullshit enemy in Dark Souls 3?
>>335564028
2dog or the frost knight in lothric castle
The jailers no way to avoid taking damage after they have seen you
>>335564121
Yeah I'm gonna have to agree with Frost Knights. Bitches are just too fast, have too much reach and can cancel out of their own cooldowns sometimes to smack you for free.
>>335564028
Dogs.
Nothing infuriates me more than dogs.

>>335564028
these guys
the alligator dogs in irithyll valley
ice knight near the end of lothric castle
>>335564176
I fucking hate these faggots
Why can they do retarded amounts of damage even while you're attacking them
The leaping rams.
>>335564176
hit them before they go red
>>335564176
No way, they're easy as hell.
They're basically the Winter Lantern equivalent but are even less dangerous.
My vote goes to the Pontiff guys in Irithyll.
>>335564121
my vote goes to the Dancer in Lothric, after Dragon Barracks. i've died more to this than most bosses. the route through there is so narrow and QCQ, it's easy to get fucked if you slip up even a little. i run all the way up and kill the Lloyd Talisman chucker first.
i've been trying to parry it, but i just keep getting half parries. i think im gonna just ember up and zerg that fool down.
>>335564176
these guys are completely line of sight based, you can just hide from them. their attacks are fucking perfect for their curse they implement, it's funny. good job devs.
Jailers for sheer mechanical annoyance
Frost knights for "god please no"
>>335564308
Some of them are standing with their back to a wall and don't move. In order to fully explore you have to take the bullshit max health lowering shit they do. If at least you got the health back it would be fine, but that doesn't happen so you have to waste estus.
>no mention of trapmasters in DS3 Demon Ruins
>>335564343
The Dancer in Lothric? The boss?
>>335564176
>>335564267
The draining aura can't kill you.
You can just avoid their slow as fuck attacks and kill them.
>>335564395
the frost night dancer looking thing, same thing everyone in the thread is talking about.
>>335564364
These fucking assholes I swear
JUMP
JUMP
JUMP
JUMP
JUMPJUMPJUMPJUMP
>>335564402
It's not that, but that when you originally go through the area and you want to explore, these guys are just a 'fuck you, chug that estus by the mere fact that we exist'
It's not fun to have unavoidable damage when I just wanna find all the shit in the area
>struggling with non-boss outrider knights
/v/ I expected better of you
>>335564239
This.
Not very difficult to kill but I swear they always show up in pairs and screw with your camera, annoying little shits.
>>335564364
And this.
>>335564364
where is that even?
>that massive health pool
>highly damaging attacks
>spastic instant attacks
>jumping slide attacks
>covers half the fucking camera
God i hated those fish faces
I feel like Bloodborne was much harder than Souls 3, agree?
I was stuck on Undead Giant 2, Abhorrent, Bloodletter, Ludwig, and Orphan forever whereas I either killed every boss in one or two attempts in 3.
Literally the only boss who managed to kill me more than once was the final boss, and even he only got me 5 or 6 times. Orphan took me the better part of a night and the day after.
>>335564569
Demon Ruins in Smouldering Lake.
>>335564569
Cut the bridge before whornir, climb down it.
>>335564534
I beat dancer and vordt on my 1st try, but I died like 6 times to the one in lothric castle
>>335564534
If I were to be completely honest the late game outrider mini bosses are way way harder than both Dancer and Vordt. They move faster and farther and don't telegraph nearly as much.
The leaping rams aren't that much trouble though, at least for me. They give you like a second and a half to dodge out of the way of their leap. The grab comes out real quick though.
>>335564447
Those are called Outrider Knights or frost knights. There's only one Dancer and it's a boss. Bitch tits.
>>335564569
>he didnt find the fair lady
Those huge wolf things in the swamp
The 3 winged knights on the roof near the princes
>>335564569
Smouldering lake
>>335564652
Eh, both games had their moments.
Overall, I can say Bloodborne was the better game and the pinnacle of the From dungeon crawlers in my view.
>>335564667
>Vordt is a boss
>Outrider Knight isn't a boss
I don't get it.
The twin princess.
Ive beat every boss except the dragon rider in archdragon peak. And the twins just keep fucking me up.
>>335564714
Not him but you're being picky. The Dancer and the Outriders are fucked by the same curse, so he's just associating them with the similar boss because he doesn't know the name.
>>335564652
For all we know the dlc in ds3 will be hard, like balanced around +10 weps and like nameless king, pretty high lvl
Honestly I did not find any enemies individually bullshit or hard to deal with.
That beaing said, I think Dark Souls 3 has the most bullshit enemy teamup potential out of any game. If you have more than one enemy on you they will just somehow manage to make ridiculous attack combos preventing you from soing anything but spam roll in dire hope that you can get at peast one attack/heal in without getting killed
I swear I have not had as many issues with sets of enemies in any other souls game before
>>335564789
Twins are my favorite boss. If you have trouble with them, you'll have trouble with Nameless King, since the main trick for both is to delay your rolls and carefully watch for follow-up combos instead of panic rolling.
>>335564794
>too picky
The game calls them Dancer and Outriders respectively.
>he doesn't know
That's why I corrected him. Fag.
>>335564851
It's called patience and a bow and arrows scrub
>>335564770
Nice try sonycuck
>>335564851
It's an AI improvement. Instead of every single enemy attacking at once, they stagger attacks and cover each other. I thought it was really nice, made it much more challenging.
The crabs in Farron Keep were a pain in the ass because you had to lure them out of the swamp in order to be able to evade their attacks. Pic not entirely related
>those fucking giant snakes with the chain axes that clip through the level geometry
>>335564946
You could also fight next to the white birch to recive artillery support.
>>335564934
No, I'm serious mate. They're all fantastic game overall, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, though.
Giant Rat Dog
Hits like a truck and is ridiculous to dodge
>>335564880
I had no trouble with them, I just found them annoying more than anything. Having the elder twin revive his brother like that just made the fight much longer than it needed to be. It was essentially beating through 3 health bars, which is not something I want to do in a Souls game.
>>335564402
except that the move where they pin you to the ground with a branding iron that one shots you even with full health even if you are not in front of them. i swear from just needs to stop with the grab attacks already.
Finally beat the game. Let me tell you guys, Ultra Greatsword is total bullshit after it carried me through DaS2 with zero effortB-B-BUT THE FUME KNIGHT IS HARD!!!. Pretty much every boss from midgame aside from Aldrich completely and constantly slapped my shit, even the quickest move (2h light attack) is liable to get you hit even if you only attack once.
On the plus side it made 2dog in the area where you sign up for the Aldrich covenant very easy if you lure the dogs out individually and do a plunging attack.
>>335564176
>>335564260
Yeah they're pretty bull shit, honestly would be fine if you got your health back as your bar regained it's size.
>>335565051
That thing in the Irithyll bridge ?
Maybe I was luckyor I got gudbut I fucked him up with my great machete.
The real pain until the dancers were these bitches.
I hate them, they scared the shit out of me (especially te ones in the Cathedral of the deep).
>>335565230
>i swear from just needs to stop with the grab attacks already.
I think almost every boss in BB had a grab. Ebrietas had no business having one.
>Giving Yhorm a face
WHY
>>335565348
I think all the non-humanoid ones did atleast.
>>335564946
drag it to the white birch and let the giant bro fuck it up for you
>>335565407
Because its a gigantic fuck you to Dark Souls II
And I am completely okay with that
>>335565407
Why would he have a head of he had no face?
>>335565508
his entire level is from DaS2's DLC.
>>335565407
Yhorm generally is a big fuck up in pretty much every aspect.
>>335565407
>expecting a cool as hell fight with a giant
>ends up being gimmicky bullshit
why from
>>335565348
Ebrietas has a grab? I have never seen that move.
>>335565561
Literally how
It looks nothing like the sunken city
>>335564176
So many shitters on /v/. They're easy and slow, you just sneak attack the fuck out of them and get them before they turn red and cast their shit, which takes a while. Plus if you're in a sticky situation, you can hide they'll go back to green.
They're seriously one of the easier enemies in the game. This is even my first Dork Souls game.
>>335564284
By the way they're called Ghrus (singular is Ghru). As in "eaten by a grue".
>>335564028
Woof woof, motherfucker.
>>335565670
The issue is they sap your health regardless of what you do, unless you can one shot them they will always do damage
You should read posts
>>335565698
Literally lightning Watchdog. That's the first thing I thought when I saw that bastard.
>>335565324
>being scared of fat ladys who yell hilarious retard gibberish
lol what
>>335565660
look closer. Also the laddermaker's corpse is next to the bonfire
>>335564995
>Every enemy in Archdragon Peak
I love getting pelted with fireballs from every fucking direction.
>>335565726
Not if you do it quick enough. You don't need to one shot them at all, I never did.
>>335565670
Nobody is complaining about the difficulty of the enemy, it's that they can deal a huge amount of damage in a few seconds without actually doing anything to you. Many of them have their backs to walls or have 2 or 3 other guys with them. They're an exercise in patience, which is pretty boring after the 5th one.
>>335565654
Fight him without onion knight and using the sword then?
Chain axe basilisk. At least they can be staggered
>>335565230
Grab attacks are okay, theoratically. From just need to stop being such hacks and fix the fucking hitboxes. Teleporting into the grab is bullshit
>>335565749
It is, literally, a reskinned hotdog. One or two of his attacks use the exact same animations.
>>335565758
Yeah, they are violent, agressive, their swipe is broken, the book stun is too strong and they can combo you.
>>335564995
Yep, them. Those guys are the Shark Troll equivalent for sure.
>>335565686
I wonder if that's an intentional reference to D&D.
>>335565827
without the sword you do practically no damage, why else would you have to use it?
>>335565761
I refuse to believe anything from Dark Souls II is in the game besides some items
Ignorance is bliss famelam
>>335565761
Looks nothing alike.
All the DS2 in third game are just fanservice, lore and story are completely ignored. Shit, even EEEVIIIL ROCK GIANTS are retconned, Yhorm didn't have vagina face.
>>335565698
Hello Crocomire
>>335564995
>You can't even get either the chain axe or serpent great axe
Also, why the fuck can you get the full Silver Knight Set, Shield, but neither weapon? What the fuck, they're not even coded into the game as weapons a player can use.
>>335565827
Then it's just a snooze fest.
>>335565897
>retconned
I mean ignored, they were never a part of official lore in the first place.
>>335565259
>plant enemies into the ground in dick souls 1 and 2
>fuck yeah time for some gardening
>get to the pontiff faggot
literally 99% uptime on his aoe bullshit while not being staggerable.
i was not happy
>>335565891
>I refuse to believe anything from Dark Souls II is in the game besides some items
The bonfire warping is done the way DaSII did it. But other than that yeah, DaSIII is definitely trying to be a direct sequel to DaS more than DaSII did
>>335565698
>get him to low health
>dodge his attack
>go in for the kill
>die because I walked into his belly mouth
Jailers, Fireball demons, and Fire Witches. They're all pretty cool enemies but also annoying as fuck.
>>335565854
Also for how much damage most grabs do they shouldn't have nearly as much tracking.
>>335565954
Buy our season pass for more quality Dark Souls content.
>>335564028
The 'quest' system
Seriously, fuck how convoluted it is
>>335564239
Dogs in DeS seem alot worse for whatever reason. Started to replay it and just got wrecked by 4.
>>335565881
I beat him first try using my regular weapon. I thought I was just really underleveled because I was running a +6 straight sword at the time. I fought him for over an hour slowly chipping down his fucking 25,000 health. When I found the Storm ruler next to his throne after the fight was over I literally slammed my head into my desk.
>>335565698
When I realized I could bleed them, I just used resin and the barbed straight sword to kill them.
>>335565654
Fanservice. Has to be. Why else would they rip something straight from another game without even bothering to change the name.
>>335564176
kek, you a dinky little straightsword babby?
they don't decrease your health if they're staggered, even if you're in their face - any greatweapon will knock them on their ass with every hit
>>335565897
dude the only reason you don't go hollow in 3 without letting Yoel give the dark sigil is because Bearer unified the all the crowns in the DLC.
there's a lot of shit referencing part 2, it was just barely the focus as das is
>>335565654
>giants
>fun fights
I rarely got hit by their attacks, but the lategame lothric knights in the archive chunk away what is easily 800+ health at once with some of their attacks. I've taken more damage in a single strike from them then any boss in the game.
>>335566040
>tfw was going to do Anri's quest
>fucked up so I killed her to get the sword
>>335566090
what other game?
Nameless King, holy shit he had very small windows of opportunity.
>>335565820
You're supposed to hop between cells when approaching the ones with walls at their back.
>>335565698
smack it in the head
Fucking frost knight in lothric is pure bullshit. I didn't like the first one either but I brute forced my way past him by using a fire resin'd sword. This one seems more resistant to fire damage and so I can't beat him.
>>335564176
>Wait round corner till they get close
>Run at and hit until dead
Wow so hard. Alternatively, shoot it with a bow so it can't get close to you to steal your health.
>>335564239
>That alley right after the Gwynevere painting
>>335565698
>the covenant room with two of them
why.
>>335566254
I especially like it when I ran away from him like a bitch only for him to teleport above
>>335565979
Yeah it feels like Dark Souls 2 should've just been its own entry into the Souls series or Souls like game. DaS3 is what 2 should've been.
>>335565820
the only part that is an exercise in patience is the procession at the foot of the dungeon, and you can just sprint into the adjacent cells - you'll never get the whole group to chase you inside
better yet, you can free the crucified Bloodborne guy and he'll kill them all for you
>>335565567
God I loved that the best way to deal with the dancer was to stay behind her.
I just wanted to look at her ass, but it turns out that's how to beat her on your first try.
>>335565973
>>335565973
Pontiff was the first fight that really kicked my shit in. Had to even equip a shield so I could parry him, and it took some getting used to because Souls parry is so much wonkier than it was in BB.
Felt so good to do this to that fucker, though. Sent his ass back to Soulcalibur IV
>>335565996
>Stagger him
>His belly is his riposte spot
Gross
>>335566379
BB parrying was too easy. Being able to do it from a relatively safe distance almost made it cheese. Parrying in any Souls game feels much more rewarding.
>>335566379
Do you reall have to parry to win this fight ?
Can you win with a 2 handed Machete ?

>>335566170
Stormruler is from Demon's Souls. Except DeS did it much better because you could still take down the boss without the gimmick (and even then, the gimmick of a giant sword that pierces the heavens is fucking cool. DaSIII was just HURR DURR THIS SORD KILLS JIUNTS EZ!
>>335565867
you bad son
>>335566490
How do you parry in BB?
>>335564176
I actually like them and think they are balanced. They are thematically perfect as jailers that torture and subdue you, driving you insane. Their kit is well designecd. They do a fuck load of dmg and they can stunlock you, but they are slow as fuck, have no poise and little hp. They would be a problem only if there was something in the dungeon that was too fast to reliably dodge, but you can stunlock everything to death.
>>335566113
>Bearer of the Curse actually cured Hollowing
Neat, good for them.
>>335566529
But I got gud dad, don't worry.
>>335566494
I didn't parry a single boss and i beat most of them without any particular frustration.
For Pontiff, just go to the corner in the room and bait out some attacks that bring only the main guy or the illusion past the corner, then kick their shit in
>>335565698
>mfw I somehow managed to beat the 2dog gank in the covenant room on the first try
>>335566494
sharpen and kill his shadow while he's summoning it
>>335566494
I beat him without knowing you could parry, it just takes off beat dodge timing. Pontiff has some weird timing on his attacks, and panic rolling will get you hit every time.
>>335566534
You fire your gun at certain points during enemy attacks. Even if you miss you still have enough time to dodge out of the way most of the time.

>>335566623
Neat, thanks.
I hate parrying. The timing feels wierd compared to DaS.
>>335565881
If you don't use the sword he still collapses after enough damage and you can do a face stab for big damage. Repeat until victory.
It's a bit more fun than using Stormruler but still easy af.
>>335566523
Except doesn't it not even work outside of Yhorm's boss room and doesn't do extra damage to other giants? At least Storm Ruler in DeS could be using for gimmicky shenanigans in the Shrine of Storms.
>>335566523
>Get to the giant manta ray
>Shoot him down with arrows
>Find the sword after the fight
That boss battle was a breeze either way but DeS bosses are all easy as fuck
>>335564390
The jail is a small area. You should be able to get by with just 3-4 estus your first time there.
>>335566534
shoot while the enemy attacks
if you're using a pistol it's DaS1 timing
if you're using a shotgun it's closer to DaS3
you can parry from far away, but too wide a gap and you won't manage to get the riposte
partial parries are common and nowhere near as undesirable as in Souls because a riposte will recover the health you've just lost, you even have a split-second frame of hyperarmor on your shots
>>335564239
This, the only enemies where I'd consistently use a shield to not get rolled
>>335566490
This.
The basilisks with decent amount of health now that curse build-up drains incredibly slow compared to other games.
>>335564390
I know that back to the wall part you're talking about, and if you attack him quick enough it's no problem. Never got my health reduced.

>>335566534
BB has both a parry and a charge attack to stagger enemies. If you manage to charge up an attack and hit an enemy in the back, you can shove your hand up their ass for massive damage.
>>335566494
>Do you reall have to parry to win this fight ?
I pretty much had to because like I mentioned before the aggressiveness of the bosses compared to previous Souls games does not bode well for the ultra Greatsword. Had to do the same for Champion Gundyr, although he's a bit more readable (albeit more punishing).
>>335566954
That looks trivial as fuck compared to DSIII. No wonder my friend said parrying in DSIII is much more satisfying and harder to pull off.
The sword-and-shield Lothric Knights for having fast, unpredictable attacks that make them hard to fight reliably, plus the fact that you have to fight more than one at a time.
Frost Knights for the same reason, plus their frostbite buildup.
Silver Knights for the same reason as Lothric Knights plus having lightning damage that means they can hurt you through your shield.
Jailers for being able to deal tons of unblockable damage to anything in their line of sight and for having an instant-kill grab attack.
Those maggot creatures for being able to fill your bleed meter with one hit.
Every single thing you encounter in Archdragon Peak, but especially the chain-axe monsters and the witches who summon ungodly powerful NPCs.
>>335567090
DS3 parry is really wierd.
>>335566523
>Except DeS did it much better because you could still take down the boss without the gimmick
You mean by hiding behind rocks and shooting arrows at it? If you didn't know, you can kill Yhorm with relative easy by using ranged or magic on his head, go google it.
Also, fuck you, Storm King was a terrible boss. The whole world was piss easy if you don't count reapers and backstab ghosts.
>>335567106
I was actually really disappointed with Archdragon Peak. Other than Nameless I had very few problems with the area. I can see how the chain axe monsters could be a pain in the ass though.
>>335567106
>The maggot zombies
Literally kill them with fire.
I didn't really have trouble with the snek summoners, but as a rule of thumb, I target spellcasters first. Also Drakeblood Knights are certainly not "ungodly powerful".
>>335567090
>That looks trivial as fuck
Those giants are the easiest enemy to parry in the game, they're pretty much a tutorial for it because otherwise they're pretty tanky.

Fuck you and your mother
Does no one on /v/ ever two hand weapons? A lot of these enemies are trivialized by the fact that you can kill them by stunlocking their shit and rolling away if you don't have enough stamina to do it in one go.
>>335564028
The 4 red lothric knights before the princes. Did anybody here even fought those fags?
>>335566954
I'm just starting BB and can't figure out when exactly comes the time. Tried it on the axe guy in the beginning and he seems to not mind me shooting at me at all. Just runs up and smashes my face in.
What is the noob-friendly weapon for parries and are there any tutorials?
>>335567106
All of the knights in the game can be aggroed solo without a bow, except for a couple of Pontiff knights, I think.
I approached each knight fight as I would a mini-boss or an NPC invader. The final ascent to the Twin Princess was great.
>>335566952
>Penetrator
You mean Penetrated-By-Biorr? That guy does all the job for you.
>Flamelurker
>Old King Allant
Only hard if DeS is your first Souls game and it's your first playthrough. Piss easy when you replay the game.
>>335567319
I can still hear the breathing and screaming.
>>335567303
Even the most difficult enemy to parry in BB is still far far easier than most enemies in DS3.
>>335567367
Parry with caestus and BKGA in mainhand literally 1-shots them.
>>335567319
>roll under attack or just strafe right
>miss
>open for backstabs for like 5 seconds
Yes, piss easy. These guys were only a challenge in black phantom form in pure black world.
If you want that kind of challenge in DS game, just use Calamity Ring.
>>335566112
>using anime swords
>>335567393
Pistols are much easier to parry with in my opinion, because they fire a lot faster and that lets you wait a bit longer to see the attack.
>>335567423
I see you didn't play the game or both games, cute.
>>335565758
They're pretty fucking creepy considering how insane they look.I'd probably have rough fucks with them

>>335567367
Yes, fighting every kind of Lothric hollow followed by all three variants of Lothric Knight was a fitting prelude to the Princes, you were fighting their personal bodyguards, their last-ditch effort to stop you.
Fuck the three golden winged knights, though. They're bastards solo, let alone having to constantly worry about keeping them separated.
So what's Rosaria's story? She reminds me a lot of Astrea
>>335566112
yeah greatswords are really good in das 3 :)
>>335567556
It's easier due to the simple fact that you're using a gun rather than a shield. You can stand back instead of being right in their face. Also you're hitting them preemptively rather than blocking the attack.
BB parry is both safer and easier

Where do they spawn by the way? I swear I went up there because I forgot to nab Heavenly light and the motherfuckers must've descended from on high, because they were straight not there until I ran a lap around the roof.
Probably Jailers, but GOD how I hate these little shits.
>>335567515
I fell in love with the Astora Greatsword in the network test and swore I'd use it and so I did. Between that and the Hollowslayer I was outranging and staggering shit all day every day.
>>335567393
Some other dude just said pistols were easy for parrying but the webms I posted were with a blunderbuss. Never really had much affinity for the pistol.
No real tutorial for it, just developing your reaction time. Ever played Royal Guard in DMC3 or 4? Just think of a slower, more generous version of that.

They're hanging off the tower where you drop down to get the miracle. They only drop when you go close to that tower though.
>>335564176
I dunno. I kill these guys in two hits. Never had a problem.
Every enemy is pretty easy once you know their behavior.

i still have no idea how to dodge their attack pattern and just throw fire at them

I got that from your previous posts, don't worry

Go replay DS1/DS3/BB and tell me you beat all bosses solo on first try, go ahead.
>>335566043
Yeah, they were pretty annoying. Demon's Souls had no poise, you'd get knocked around in the heaviest armor the same as if you were naked. The dogs always came in groups, had fast attacks, and could jump pretty far to get at you.
>>335567831
It's how they fuck with the camera once you get close that fucks with me the most. Can't see shit but black writhing mass and suddenly half my health is gone.

Fucking love it. Has my favorite two-handed R1 moveset, even. Only complaint is the slightly worse range compared to other greatswords and lack of a two-handed thrust.
>>335564468
Pack it up pack it in
>>335567713
No idea, I imagine they escape the giant birdcage you find later while you aren't looking
>>335567393
Pistol parries are easier to time against attacks with less windup, but I always recommend the Blunderbuss, because if you fuck up, you will still generally stagger the enemy and take no damage.
I find they're also more useful outside of parries because I prefer crowd control to ranged damage - blasting dog mobs on their ass after a roll feels pretty good.
>>335567674
>BB parry is both safer and easier
BB enemies also cover a lot more area during attacks and do it faster, and bullets have travel time. The further you are, the harder it is to hit the needed frames.
>>335567847
>Go replay DS1/DS3/BB and tell me you beat all bosses solo on first try, go ahead
Nothing is a problem if you know how to deal with it beforehand, retard. Which is why DaSII is the worst game because you can circle strafe every boss to kill them. DeS, DaS, BB, and DaSIII mix it up, Mr. Internet Badass
>>335567237
I love the way the area looks, but its enemies are just annoying in the later parts. Nameless King is a great boss though.
>>335567251
I was using a fire sword against the maggot creatures, so they did go down fast. It's still BS that they can guarantee blood loss by hitting you one time. And those knights are reasonable for unique enemies, but they are way too powerful to be something you're expected to fight every time you leave a bonfire. It's primarily because of their aggressiveness and lightning damage.
>>335567404
That walk up to the Princes wasn't easy, but it was memorable and set up well. It felt like all the remaining soldiers of Lothric had gathered there to defend their rulers. Of course, it helped that those enemies only had to be fought once, unlike the Silver Knights on the stairs leading to Aldrich.
>>335567743
>Hollowslayer
Why the fuck can't this at least be buffable? I want to use it but it's so fucking bad.
>>335564028
Boss? Crystal Sage. Regular enemy? Any knight with such high poise they can't be staggered and hit with a follow up attack. Then again I'm using the Greatsword so it's probably me.
>>335568014
>Crystal Sage
Literally what
The one in the archives is harder than the actual boss fight
>>335564176
>>335564260
You can run past every one of these without losing almost no health
If you want to get rid of them, use corners and raged attacks, I lost like 2 estus for these guys
>>335568005
>It's still BS that they can guarantee blood losspull out your torch
>>335564652
Orphan remains the hardest boss, but it ultimately boils down to playstyle. If you use a shield, dark souls 3 will be infinitely easier. If you use rolls and magic, the chunkier nature of rolls and cssting versus dashes and guns means BB is easier.
Orphan remains hardest boss across all souls
>>335567995
Go replay DS1/DS3/BB and tell me you beat all bosses solo on first try, go ahead. Show me how it's not a problem when you know all these bosses beforehand.
DeS is babby mode Souls game. It's a fact, learn to live with it.
>>335568005
> It's still BS that they can guarantee blood loss by hitting you one time.
Equipping a torch removes all maggots from you instantly.
>>335567736
The ones with the two-handed swords are particularly irritating.
>>335566523
Umm... I beat Yhorm with melee by hitting his hands and occasionally the head.
I didn't know about siegward's sidequest first playthrough so I didn't even have access to the storm blade and was forced to learn him. You can fight him without the blade and the fight is far more tense than manta ray.
>>335567736
They are the epitome of what I hate in an enemy
>Small
>Fast
>Really good damage
>Low health but not so low that you can one shot them upon first encountering them
They also get bonus points for skittering about like insects. Mind you I love insects, but seeing non-insects move like them bugs me the fuck out.
>>335568089
Midrolling with the bloodring trivialized the game far more than any shield does.
>>335565897
>lore and story completely ignored
Lets see. DaS 2 establishes the fact that the flame always comes back whether linked or snuffed out. Which is why the lord of cinders make sense since DaS 1 made it seem like the flame goes out forever if not linked.
The events of 2 are referenced in item descriptions. Laddersmith Gilligan went off to find treasure and meat his end at the Profaned Capital.
2 had giants of all shapes and sizes anyway. Its obvious some giants had those wierd faceless golem like forms and others had faces. Different races, just like humans.
And there's what >>335566113 said.

Today I learned from Dark Souls 3's PVP that Bloodborne is default superior too.
I never felt angry when playing Bloodborne but I feel so angry at the Balance inconsistencies in Dark Souls 3.
The Estoc is the new Dark Souls 1 and 2 Uchigatana. Its hitbox is longer than my Pike. Why even have spears if every weapon even the short sword has longer reach? The assholes at IGN told everyone of the Dark Sword and everyone and their mom are abusing it.
Map design is also shit in that there are areas where the host and his phantoms can effectively bunker down and create a murder hole for invaders. I mean the host and his 3 phantoms can effectively form an impasse to invaders. Meanwhile in Bloodborne you can still infiltrate and clean house and then jump out to safety if a host tries to bunker down.
I cannot forgive Fromsoft for designing the Wolnir boss room path. Once the host opens the door, they can effectively stall for time indefinitely inside there. While they summon phantoms to kill you, the bridge behind is also cut. If not yet cut by the host or his phantoms, they will cut it when they spot you. There is no way to not die in that situation because ultimately you have to jump into that hallway again to try and kill the host. Imagine seeing 3 Dark Sword users in that tiny hallway and they're all agro-ing at you once you jump in that area, and the host may or may not hide in Wolnir's room.
Fuck Dark Souls 3's balance.
>>335564652
Rape horse dominated me for the better part of a day, nothing in DaS3 has come close to that
>>335568089
Orphan still stands out in my memory as making my heart pound faster an harder than any other boss in any other game I have played. He's just so goddamn fast.
>>335565657
Yeah, it does obscene damage. At soft capped vitality I couldn't survive it from full health.
>>335567831
Keep a reasonably upgraded fire weapon on hand at all times. Good for Hollows, dogs, maggots, slimes, black twisted creatures, and various other nuisances.
>>335568012
I'm not sure how the damage compares to other Greatswords but the two-handed moveset has style points out the ass and is so much better now that it's not stuck in DaS2's molasses combat
whatever the Astora Greatsword was too slow to deal with, the Hollowslayer dealt with for me
>>335567607
but you can pull them one by one
>>335567106
For the maggots, if you equip torch the leeches die instantly preventing your bleed build up anymore.
>>335566374
Any doujins of the dancer yet? She's a giantess from a popular series with a nice ass. How can there not be some porn at least?
>>335568083
>>335568106
Really? That's obscure, but useful. Wish I'd known it earlier, I always keep a torch around.
>>335564028
Those goat guys that mario stomp and latch on to your face
>>335565979
>>335566336
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like this
after playing DS3, it feels like the REAL DS2, and DS2 feels like a spin-off side story that had no real consequence in the universe
the A-team took whatever good or decent parts were in DS2, and gave them little shout-out's in the third
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck the shotel versions of these fucking things.
>>335565827
Yeah, siegward ruined that fight for me
>>335566004
Why can't we do any fucking grabs? Some enemies can parry and riposte, some can backstab. They have our tricks, why can't we have theirs? I know it's because of the models but it could work decently enough against normal sized humanoid enemies. I remember that the dark hand's grab in DS1 only worked on other players or NPC's that use the same models that players can use.
>>335567367
they weren't too bad. I used to a bow to angro them 1 by 1, and pull them down the stairs quicker. It got tense at time because they other kept on marching. Thankfully, Stance utterly murders the 3 with shields
>>335567607
they spawn on top of the tower, you can pull them individually with a bow, and fight them away from the inner area, since entering that spot pulls them all at once
>>335568272
Can you really? I thought they all showed up aggroed. I kept running around the top of the cupola to get them tripping on the fences and staircases, attacking only when I find one that's gotten separated.
>>335565698
was this guy supposed to be hard? i just swung until he died, only had to dodge once and he just kept missing. fighting was over in seconds
>>335567938
>damage is split into 3 types
>has to pass 3 types of resistance
I haven't used it before, but that seems like a bad thing
Game is piss easy. The Frost Knight in that small room in Lothric is probably the most BS for an enemy. Maybe the 2 demon dogs in front of the Aldritch covenant but if you pull properly it's not that difficult.
>>335568089
Orphan is goddamn terrifying, yet through all the spam and shrieking, he still feels fair. He's just difficult to the point of near insanity.
I miss Bloodborne's boss fights.
>>335564121
This.
>>335564176
This too.
>>335564284
Oh and this.
Was anything fun to fight in DS3?
>>335568161
And the sounds they make are fucking annoying
CLING CLING CLING CLING WEEAEAAAUUGH
>>335567404
Wish I could say the same, but for some reason I just kited the whole ramp of stairs before the princes and killed them off one by one, then activated the elevator and never looked back.
I hate lothric knights.
Is there any special reward for killing Yhorm without storm ruler?
>>335568403
The standard sword versions of these aren't too bad. Fast and dangerous, but they're still reasonable even in pairs. It's the jumping knife-throwing ones that are the second coming of Satan.
>>335568313
>>335568083
>>335568106
I tried running into the torches or letting the kamikaze guys damage me because of visions of Dirty Colossus, but that didn't work
so I used what PVP and Bloodborne taught me and rolled, or backstabbed the idle zombies as I the bar was about to fill
>>335568089
In terms of difficulty, I'd but the Abhorrent Beast higher than the Orphan.
>>335568256
I'm also >>335567938
I traded up to it because it has dat same R1 combo. I also forgot to mention it's pretty easy to get up to 650-700 scaling with that thing. 30 STR, 20 DEX, and Lightning Weapon/Darkmoon Blade at 30 FTH puts it at about 686 at +10 Refined.
>>335568180
>DaS 2 establishes the fact that the flame always comes back whether linked or snuffed out.
Big whoop.
>The events of 2 are referenced in item descriptions. Laddersmith Gilligan went off to find treasure and meat his end at the Profaned Capital.
Literally fanservice.
>2 had giants of all shapes and sizes anyway. Its obvious some giants had those wierd faceless golem like forms and others had faces.
No, giants from 2 all had vagina faces.
Go back to bed, Tanimura.
>>335568507
Pretty sure it's percentage based now, so it's not THAT terrible. But horrible scaling and not being able to infuse at pretty low base damage (like most boss weapons, really) still make sure they're in the bottomest of tiers.
>>335568628
> It's the jumping knife-throwing ones that are the second coming of Satan.
holy fuck these guys.
>fast as fuck

>>335565654
Fight him without it. All you have to do is try to hit his head.
>>335568614
No. I killed him with Butcher's Knife. I however discovered that you can break his poise if you hit both his legs enough, after which you can perform a riposte to his face (kind of like Nameless' King's pet or some other large enemies) which actually does a decent amount of damage.
>>335568409
Only two grabs I know of are Dark Hand which is almost impossible to use because it ONLY works on literal human characters. Also that one pyromancy where you grab and then blow them up, it works on many enemy types.
But more actual grabs for different weapons would be nice.
>>335568628
>fight is going reasonably well
>get them to near death
>won't stop dodging and tossing kukri everywhere
at least they don't turn invisible on rolls too
>>335568628
Well, yes. That's the ones mentioned in that post. There's just no easily found pictures of them. Maybe try to read this thread instead of just looking at the pretty pictures.
>>335568725
I use a Straight Sword and they're still too quick to hit half the time. They must be impossible for people with heavier weapons.
>>335568507
You'd think so, but it hits like a fucking truck and is a very fast greatsword. It's more like it guarantees they can't fully block damage from it.
>>335568452
yea let them jump down run away and attack one.
>>335567992
shut the fuck up you autistic fuckaloo
>>335568680
sweet, I was thinking of a Quality/FTH jack-of-all-trades for my next character, that lightning-fast third horizontal swipe is so cool
>>335567938
its complete and utter shit damage wise due to 3way split damage calculation
grab bks or clay
>hurr durr guys I swear DaS2 is retconned
Are you guys fucking retarded ?
Tanimura is even a co-director.
>>335567831
You're meant to have a fire weapon against these. It staggers them
>>335568725
Protip: If the skellies eyes glow a pale purple/white, they'll get back up.
>>335568815
eh, you can either use hyperarmor or prioritize dodging until they do something unsafe, like the black skeleton flying swipe from Demon's Souls
then you stunlock them to death
>>335568768
Is the grab pyromancy a new one from 3? I haven't gotten to play DS3 yet because of poverty.
>>335564176
Does NO ONE realize that these guys deal damage with ACTUAL line of sight??
If their eyes can't see you they can't damage you.
Run around them.
>>335568982
You can also use blessed weapons. They do more dmg against skeletons and they won't respawn.
that last area in arch dragon peak is the hardest area in souls
