Who is causing you unbeliveable grief?
I'm stuck on this bastard. That fucking arrow volley. Even the people I summon aren't able to whittle him down to half-health.So I homeward bone out because I don't want to lose my ember
If you don't have a stockpile of embers and you're that far along I have some bad news for you buddy
>>336009226
I beat him by getting lucky once and didn't get any arrows in the second half. Just wait for Dancer.
>>336009226
I've only died 10 or so times so far (with a minimal run to the fog door) but I'm pretty stuck on The Pontiff.
Anybody on PC that's SL20 with a +2 weapon?
Wait OP, we talking first or second phase?
I noticed a lot of people are having problem with this boss. It's not that hard, all u gotta do is hug it. Keep hugging it and just roll when it attacks, it's attacks are easy to read. And when it gets it's bow out, get behind it and if its the arrows that follow u just start running around the room, if its the other arrow shit, u can get ez dmg cuz it wont hit u cuz u are behind it. Hope i helped anon.
I'm causing invaders terrible grief
>>336009437
Second phase
>>336009434
Just parry Pontiff until he clones. Then hit him hard and bait the jump attack
>>336009226
Sprint away while doing a slow circle, and hope none of the magic bullets won't hit you while doing it.
His arrow volley in pre-fire form doesn't track btw.
>>336009486
>>336009492
Don't dodge the arrow hail: sprint away from it.
>>336009480
>just dodge 5 projectiles at once bro
>just dodge everything bro
This series isn't the best for friendly advice.
>>336009226
I've helped about a dozen people beat Aldrich. The arrow rain is easy to avoid, you just run in a wide loop and make your way back to him. The arrows follow slightly behind you, so if you make a big enough loop you'll get back to him as the arrows are ending and you can proceed to wail on him.
>>336009480
thx bro i just baet him!!!
>>336009575
Also OP Arrow Volley is easy to dodge. Don't Roll. Just sprint away from him. Use it as an opportunity to heal as well as he charges it up or as it finishes.
>>336009575
>>336009486
>shit-stained pants
Avoid running in a straight line from the arrows, it gets a speed boost when it stops tracking you.
>>336009597
The small balls aren't even a probem. U can literally just run a bit to a side and u dodged it. And it wont shoot the huge balls of u hug it.
>>336009657
>>336009581
>>336009480
Sprinting is helpful, but you have to make sure you're running perpindicular to Aldrich, otherwise his soul spear will hit you.
The arrows are shit though, if you get stuck in the volley it's game over
>>336009694
It's not like I'm scared of Invaders. I kill most of them easily. I use dried finger so I get as much Invaders as possible. I however find it more entertaining making WebM's of them running directly past me than I do of me killing them.
>>336009486
i still haven't found the fucking laying on the ground animation
where is it?
>>336009781
But it's so easy to not get stuck in the volley bu just running in a circle
>>336009834

oh ok then, i just got there on my playthrough so i'll see
>>336009226
Reroll a caster, spam great heavy soul arrow, problem solved.
>>336010045
>Reroll a caster, spam great heavy soul arrow, problem solved.
Don't do this OP. Caster is completely unviable until at least SL 60 or 70, depending how you build.
>>336009226
Only summon one person if you summon anymore its just a waste of time the bosses just get too much health and it's just a smash fest then
>>336010124
and how would you build
full int with a little attunement? guess so
literally the easiest boss in the game. i dont understand how prople die more than once on aldrich
>>336010184
Pretty much. Even then you're a huge glass canon and if any pure STR builds get close to you you're pretty much going to be 1 shot.
TheYaoiPrinces.
It's pretty fun, but fucking projectile spam in the second phase is just fucking me up.
Im having trouble not getting this damn thing its starting to piss me off
>>336010148
Shouldn't you summon as many people as possible if you summon at all?
I thought boss health doesn't scale per summon.
>>336010219
Everyone has different troubles with different things. Everyone told me Dancer was hard as fuck but I did her on my first try. Same with Dragonslayer Armour. Aldrich I did on my second go but I figured his patterns out really quickly. However I fucking struggled on bosses most people call easy like Champ, Oceiros and Lothric and Lorian. Probably died about 10+ times on each one.
>>336010219
you fuckin kill him too fast before xe released the homing arrow rain
>>336010296
Those assholes were really easy compared to Aldrich.
>>336010296
Second phase is fucking balls. Try not to aim for Lothric and just smash Lorian instead. When he goes down wreck Lothric as he heals his brother. As for the projectile spam it's really just a matter of fucking rolling until you can't roll no more.

>>336010713
Aldritch, like pretty much every boss in this cheesecake game, will be staggered and fall into a weak state if you hit him enough times.
if you having trouble with this guy, then it's your shit build/weapon not doing enough damage.
just roll, poke, poke over and over until he's dead.
on the arrows, don't lock on and run diagonally.
>>336010812
>The crab that spawns out of the skeletonball if you kill the hat-wearing skeleton
WHAT DID FROM MEAN BY THIS
>>336010713
Same thing happened to me for the flamberge. Didn't realise how strong it was until I looked it up the wiki. People grind hard for the weapon too
>>336009226
The Prince Twins, I was just sucking so much it took me an hour to beat them.
Still one of my favorite bosses, I ended up winning with 1 HP and no estus left, my heart was racing.
>>336009226
Same here, I'm SL107 right now, are there even any NPC summons for this fucker
>>336009226
Killed me the first time (didn't know what was coming, so, uh), second time I equipped high magic defense armor pieces and it went down without problems (SL 60 and butcher knife). Fuck you Aldrich for killing one of my favourite characters in DaS1.
I beat him. What's next? I can't find anything but dead ends. Still need Yhorm but I don't know where to reach him
Help a guy out? Not OP btw
>>336010926
Ahh, Crab
>>336010926
I broke one skeletonball got a bone Shard where's the second hat wearing skeleton to break the other one?
>>336009226
>That fucking arrow volley
just fucking run away howa re so many of you this bad
>>336009226
Gwyndolin is cute
CUTE
This fucker took me awhile, felt really great when I finally beat him .
Now I just gotta go and find all the stuff I've missed and start ng+.
>>336010926
He also leashes to the the one giant docile crab in the smouldering lake if you get him there, I wonder if threes something like the pickaxe from DS2 again.
>>336011165
irithyl dungeon, find the capital
NG+ is really disappointing.
Do they even change health? I fucking wasted ludex in about 6 swings.

I finished the game on SL50
>>336011763
Just like DS1 you can beat the game on any soullevel
>having problems with Aldrich
haha even IGN was able to beat it with no problem lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXawRPi42Yo
>>336011848
Even darksydephil beat it without any real problems
>>336011845
I know but 107 seems like overkill
>>336011091
107? Did you spend 30 hours fucking grinding or some shit. I am at the end of the game and I'm barely in the 70s. I don't see how you could be that high and not be able to beat him. Unless you are running some sort of retarded luck build.
>>336012109
I grinded titanite chunks in lothric castle until my Dark Sword was +9, that gave me about 15-20 levels I don't remember because the drop rate was garbage
>>336012150
>Dark Sword
>>336011534
Health bars surge up once you get to Crucifixion Woods. Although I haven't levelled up once in NG+ yet. I've gone through the whole thing at SL80 so maybe the jump isnt as big as I think it is.
I have no fucking clue what to spend my souls on though
>Only boss I've died to whole playthrough is Abyss Watchers once, and they were left ona sliver of HP
>As a result have 1.2 million souls that I have no fucking clue what to do with
is SL 80 still considered the optimal Soul Level for PvP? I'm thinking of levelling to 100 but just don't know how much it'd fuck PvP up.
>>336012150

>>336012230
I'm pretty sure 120 is the meta

Look at the description of the fallen knight pants that you are wearing.
>>336012410
>Held beneath leather boots and drab cloth using a knot of rope and bandage, they are dampened and indelibly stained with the misery of flight.
huh, been using them the whole game pretty much. Now I'm a true shitter.
This guy was a huge pain, so satisfied when I finally got him.
>>336012150
why
Never even mind that the boss actually isn't that hard as he never attacks you but why did you feel the need to max your weapon out this early
Best strategy I found is to run in the opposite direction the arrows are coming from in the first stage while in second run to the side of them, keep moving and they can't hit you all that much.
Wolf knight greatsword does extra damage too.
>>336009226
Bro, he's like, no joke, one of the easiest bosses in the game.
Just ignore the whole gwyndolin portion of him and attack the long poop snake behind him. Like go extremely ham on it. He will either teleport or do some shitty AoE which is super easy to see coming. When he goes fire he doesn't even get any extra abilities to reach behind him. The only issue is arrow rain but you just zig zag. The arrow rain gets fast if you let it go in a straight line but if you zig zag it slows way down.
Once you figure out how to deal with the rain he's a joke.
>>336009410
Pontiff was harder than Aldrich and Dancer.
>>336014361
Its always kind of funny just how differing people's skills are with the bosses.
I beat Pontiff on my 3rd try. It took me around 6 tries to beat Aldrich and about 10 to beat Dancer.
>>336009226
>aldrich teleports
>go to the center of the room and run in circle
>as soon as any sound or visual cue of him raising comes up sprint to that corner
he never does the arrow attack this way
also do not fucking lock on if that wasn't obvious already
>>336014830
How? Dancer is an easier version of Pontiff. Not to say she's easy at all but she has no bullshit moves like Pontiff does.
>>336014361
Pontiff's not that hard, this is like the oldest trick in the book since Demon's Souls, Pontiff is imposing so you keep your distance, but the killbox for him is midrange. If you fight him up close you can duck under his blows and fuck him up.
>>336014967
I kept passing out over dat ass
>>336014967
The question isn't about how? Who cares How?
The point is that some of these bosses seem easy while others seem impossible then its the total opposite for someone else. I personally like that.
Took me 15 to beat Nameless but only 3 to beat SoC. Would have done it in 2 but I didn't know he would burst heal halfway through.
>>336009434
>sl20 with a +2 weapon at pontiff
Are you going to be an ebin twink?
SO THIS
Why are the areas so short in this game? I couldn't do low level soul runs in the previous games because of lack of bonfires and estus early game. But there's a bonfire every 10 minutes and an abundance of estus.
IS THE POWER
>>336009781
You can sippy through the volleys though you'll chug half your shit to stay alive. Happened to me when I got caught in the arrow storm just as I killed him, shit just kept on going and I almost died.
OF THE PC
>>336015223
Are you going to be an epic casual cry baby? And there's nothing you get late game that is any better than what you can get early game at level 20.
>>336015387
wow
the ps4 is shit
>>336015293
Yeah they really didn't think out the bonfires in this game. This is probably the worst offender: A bonfire within sight of another bonfire. I don't think even DSII did this. Which is weird since the shortcuts in this game were all pretty well thought-out
>>336009226
What's a good way to beat Dancer at SL15? She is giving me grief. Currently using a fire lucerne
>>336015550
Carthus rouge plus a weapon that already has innate bleed.
>>336009226
Am I the only one who had the most problems with the dancer of boreal valley?
I don't even know how I kept fucking up on that boss compared to the others

>>336016836

OP here
Just finished beating Aldrich with the help of a sun bro. Thanks everyone for the help
Side note; went on to fight Dancer, and was two hits away from killing her. Would have been able to if I hadn't accidentally wasted an estus earlier. Solo'd her on my fourth try
>>336016836
There's no bottom half anymore, gwyndolin is whatever you want it to be
Heysel is causing me grief. I need help. I'm running NG+ to get all emotes, and I'm failing to summon yellowfinger Heysel in farron's keep.
He invaded me and I killed him, but I can't give any pale tongue to Rosaria. I gave her 100 tongues on my NG and now she refuses any other one I give her. I even tried to respec to consume some of my tongues but it doesn't do anything and now I can't summon Heysel to get his gesture.
Am I fucked ? Please I'm 4 gestures away from the trophies it would piss me off to no end to have to find them all again.
>>336009226
How did people feel when they saw Gwyndolin like that?
I spent 2 hours trying to kill this one last night, at low soul level because I want her gear.
It was a nightmare. My stats were kinda all over the place since I'm doing a somewhat expiremental build, she killed me in two hits, and she has 3 estus flasks to fully heal. Only way to beat her was cheesing with the powered up version of battle axe's strong attack.
>>336017310
I used the lucerne, npcs can't into long reach attacks
>>336017369
Yeah I was considering getting the claymore so I could outreach her, that was the benefit of the axe strong attack since you rush towards her, stunning her with your body which means you could do this from very safe distance and then finishing with a very strong attack.
>>336017310
She's really easy to parry and stun lock, you just need to make sure to save just enough to roll away because she will try to attack as soon as you stop.
Dancer is being a bitch, but the ass is worth it.
>>336017692
Ye
>>336013762
What?
I just circle-spammed him with a katana and at one time he charged into a wall, and directly after that i've killed him.
I really thought he is some in-game joke
>>336009226
Stick on his ass unless he uses the volly, then just run away untill it stops chasing you. That's it.
>>336013974
>lothric castle
>early
what
>>336017673
I tried parrying and sometimes it went well, but eventually it was like she learned to punish it and started doing charged strong attacks. My health was way too low to risk that considering how much time it took to kill her. Besides, strong attacks did almost as much damage as the ripostes anyway.
Also stun lock was out of the question, the only weapon I had that did adequate damage was deep battle axe, thanks to my shit str and dex. If I went further than 2 R1 she would backstep and do a stab attack, and it did way less damage than a strong attack anyway.
I took him out first try by just running after him, spamming estus and flailing on his ass at every possible moment. Had problems with certain other bosses, but this guy was a complete bitch.
>>336009226
That dudes a faggot, that boss fight feels like a DPS race. I really hate that arrow volley of his. I just ended up using the washing pole and applying the bleed buff to just end that fight.
>>336017883
Not OP, but when he used the volley, it worked better for me to rush his back to hit him than running away
>>336009226
It took me 2 tries to figure out how to 0 damage his volley of arrow.
It ain't hard nigga, all you have to do is run. That's literally all you have to do nigga, you just run!
>>336017952
>thanks to my shit str and dex
When you say experimental build, how experimental are we getting here?
>>336017889
You can do lothric castle as soon as you meet Emma. Kill her and dancer shows up.
Although, I have no idea how that person managed to kill dancer at a low level but struggles against fucking aldrich at sl 107 and dark sword
>>336012410
i hate this meme
it's just as likely that they are LITERALLY dampened and stained with the misery of flight; i.e. trying to stay off of roads and hiking through muck and mud and god-knows-what because the remnants of your company of knights are disgraced and being hunted and hounded.

>>336018249
So you can suffer.
>>336018053
Eh, I just want to be able to use all sorts of spells but also have an okay weapon. So I mainly focus on att, int and faith, and just a little bit in everything else except for luck.
Great soul arrows did shit damage against her and was way too slow against a katana wielder anyway
>>336012230
I'm SL100 and get plenty of invasions/see tons of soap signs on the ground. Though if you get a lot of action and are fine with your stats there's really no reason to go to 100.
>>336009226
Spam Twisted Wall of Light. He can't do shit abou it.
>>336009226
Literally vow of silence stops him from attacking. He's easier then Yhorm you coal burning kike.
>>336018317
>just a little bit in everything else
That's a big no-no, being a jack of all trades in dark souls doesn't really work.
You're just gimping youself in the long run.
I'd say your best bet would still just try parrying her, it's no biggie if you die since she's not going anywhere so you can get her patterns down.
>>336010335
wait this is rare?
i've had one in my inventory for ages, but i used the murakamo instead since it seems to be better. Should i be using this?
So, they fucked right?
I'm having some real trouble with the princes. Bordering on 30 attempts now. I can kill Lorian around 3 times before running out of Estus, problem is that I don't deal enough damage to Lothric, making the whole ordeal an endurance fight.
I beat them 4 out of 5 times when I help out as a summon, but I can't seem to do it alone.
>>336018423
>this spell only people who invested heavily in faith can use makes him piss easy, so you shouldn't struggle either!
I mean, Aldrich is really fucking easy regardless, but the entire reason why some people struggle against certain bosses is because of what build they use.
>>336018527
Definitely.
>>336018138
>muh cheevos
Kill yourself
>>336017310
I did the same with Sirris. Probably wasn't worth my time.
>>336018527
>>336018583
Where's the pictures?
>>336018583
Any pics?
>>336018526
Well it has bleed and the murakumo doesn't. I prefer it over the murakumo just for that.
>>336018604
Suck my dick faggot, because you're undedicated scrub doesn't mean everybody is like you
>>336018516
>implying hex builds are bad
Hell, it's even better in DS3 since you also get ridiculous pyromancies. 25 vig 30 int 30 fai and dex/strength to use your weapons.
>>336018527
Prince Lothric is really a girl, right? Like, the opposite of Gwyndolin?
>>336018573
There is no Jack of all trades build. Some bosses one find piss easy are going to slaughter others. My last character killed Oceiros first try. My new pyro using an Irythyll Rapier took over 10 since I kept missing the dash dodge.
>>336018137
>glowing
The host doesn't glow.
>>336018516
I'm not thinking of trying to be gud at everything, but a few points in vigor, end and vit seems basically mandatory and dex would be good for fast weapons and spell casting speed. As I said, mainly focusing on the spell-related skills. Also I'm not really planning on doing much pvp with this character.
I did end up beating her though, R2 attacks are super safe on npcs
>>336018732
>>336018832
Yes he does, he's fucking embered. He's not lighting up like a disco (like phantoms do) but he's still easy to spot in the grass.
>>336018903
Wow you're damn ugly. I bet your mom cries everynight regretting she hasn't swallowed you, failed abortion
>>336018171
Dragonslayer Spear. Probably the best Spear in the game. You get it in Archdragon's Peak.
>>336018848
I'd drop vit, it's pretty pointless. end and vig are good obviously, as is dex.
Don't listen to the idiots who think dumping EVERYTHING into vig + one other stat, they just don't understand the game.
There's a bonfire to the left of the Anor Londo bonfire. It looks like it's right above the Church of Yorska in that tower. Any clue how to get there?

firebombs trivializes them
>pretty much every boss does half or just over half my HP if they land one shit on me when I'm embered (and I have 25 VIT)
Am I going to get one-shotted in NG+? if I get caught by two hits in a combo from someone like oceiros or dancer then it actually can kill me even if I am embered.
>>336019189
Honestly was about to do that anyway, thanks anon

>>336019114
You don't have to kill every enemy you know. They're easy to bypass.
Also, PROTIP: Use fire, they get stunned.
>>336019094
I like evil churches. The traps weren't bad this time around. It's sort of the point that there isn't a straight happy ending. (Though I did find the Link the Fire ending a bit lackluster, it's just so boring.) Aldritch isn't Gwyndolin, and the boss mechanics are nowhere similar.
>>336013762
All you had to do was stay behind him and watch when he moved his head to the side to do his spinny attack. One of the easiest bosses.
>>336013762

True, but still.

The beginning of NG+ is a victory lap before your next go around, autist
>>336009486
Holy fuck that's what I was doing yesterday as well. I even did it outside the plant pots wearing the purple black ninja outfit. Only one guy found me right away. I've had about 5 people black crystal out, and I caught an equal amount with a surprise ass raping.
I also with the obscuring ring equiped parked down in that room with the two gaping dragon dogs, which were still alive at the time. Then I equiped way of the blue, popped an ember and used dried fingers. Alt+tab and came back 3 hours later to find half a million souls on me. No one bothered looking in the wolf room.
instead of running away in a straight line I found it WAY easier to run in circles during the volley attack.
>>336019683
Came here to post this. Trivializes his most annoying attack.
This sneaky shit

>>336015387
While it looks like shit it's also an area you spend less than a minute running through. Why should the devs care about pretty details here while they can take their time on places that actually matters.
>>336019530
It's bullshit really. Rosaria's Fingers gives you access to Respeccing AND remaking your character which by default makes it the most useful possible coveneant. But suddenly the second I join this bitch wants to get mad at me.
Maybe if Blades of the Darkmoon wasn't absolute shit, we wouldn't be having this trouble.

What's the problem.

Wait, how do you break a skellebal?
>>336019869
kill the hat skeleton
>>336019669
Nice. I think I would have used a seed of tree of giants as well, just to make things interesting.
I'LL CLEANSE THE BASTARD'S CURSE!
>>336019897
I haven't seen any skeletons with hats so far.
Truly, these faggots have embraced the R1 spam meta. Except they also step 3 miles forward with every slash and have infinite stamina
>>336017208
I threw my controller and fumed with rage.

It's the power of "we need to make sure this shit runs on three platforms, two of them being incredibly weak"
>>336012230
100 - 120 seems to be the norm. At this point I'm around 130 and still see plenty of signs on NG+. Gonna continue leveling so I can wear fancy armor, but once I'm done with this cycle I'm starting over with a low level character.
Also I'm pretty dissapointed in that there are barely any changes in NG+ except for some better rings. No phantoms, no extra enemies, nothing.
>>336019986
find one
>>336019993
They're easy to stunlock and parry.
>>336019993
>roll behind
>stunlock them until death
I don't understand how anyone can be this bad at video games
>>336019993
Makes sense that Pontiff's knights would have the same moveset as him.
I'm legitimately bad at the game and even I realized pretty quickly that the best way to beat him was to stay as close as possible to his back and always sprint to him the moment he teleports
Wolnir is objectively harder than yhorm and aldrich.
>>336019967
When she does this, try hugging her like she wants but also strafe to the side. She'll miss you 100% of the time and give you a free backstab

r u stupid?
>>336020081
>>336020086
Don't have enough damage/poise damage to stun them with my weapon. They just slap me between hit 2 and 3 and even if I get to use my entire stamina bar they don't die. Shit was much better on my STR character
>>336019576
>true, but still
No?
>>336014361
I had this too, for the life of me I couldn't kill pontiff, but I beat aldrich after three tries and dancer on my second.
>>336009226
If you're having this hard of a time, go get the Chaos Tome for the Fireball, put the Flame up to +6 add a couple of boost rings and melt the fucker, since it's weak to fire.
>>336019897
Oh fuck, I did but I never checked back. Thanks, I'm off to fuck up some skelleballs.
>>336019914
Oh yeah I did use a seed. Forgot to mention that, great way to deter invaders from investigating that area down below. I was alt-tabbed the whole time so I have no idea if someone checked down there or not. Came back to see that my internet had taken a shit and I got disconnected.
I'm gonna need to find a hiding place in the swamp too, so I can mess with watchdogs.
>>336019993
You should probably try to dodge behind them and not pull 2 at the same time.
Also, against some enemies (those guys included) being aggressive is a lot better. You can just R1 stunlock them to death if you get a single hit in. Same goes for Aldritch to be honest. I think he's meant to punish overly defensive players.
>>336020095
>same moveset as sullivan
Oui fucking que?
>>336009226
SL and platform bub. I'll put the faggot in the dirt for ya.
>>336020240
Is he weak to lightning as well? I burned him down with my lightning weapon extremely fast.
>>336020221
>poise
Anon...
>damage
You using a dagger or something?
>>336019993
try fighting them with caestus
the entire run was fucking unbearable garbage, but this single area to the anri bonfire took me 2 1/2 hours. I eventually broke and had to summon someone just to help me get through a fucking level
I beat the guy on the boxart last night. Then I summoned the fire maiden out of curiosity and the game ended.
>>336020391
I believe so, on my first run I used Lightning Weapon and it did a lot of damage, not as much as Pyro did. The trick is to hit it in the face instead of the body, I used the mounds around the pillars to get a foot up.
>>336020458
I didn't mean poise, I meant my poise damage, as in how easily my hits will stun them. They break out pretty fast and my partizan's damage is pretty shit

My biggest gripe with the game is that there's too many sanic fast skellies or skelly-like enemies that cause bleed.
>>336009226
Run in a large circle during arrow hail. Roll left or right to dodge his strong beam attack. Move rapidly around in small circles to dodge the small orbs he shoots out. Attack the back end of his tail so that when he teleports you don't take damage
>>336020120

>5 games into the series
>Being this bad that you still haven't learnt to roll behind enemies when they attack
>>336020130
They should have made her instant grab you of you touch her while she's on fire, it's too easy to avoid as it is.
>>336020942
>rolling into a spammy fag when there's an equally spammy fag behind him that you'll roll into
And then there's the fact that those are the spammiest, infinitestaminest, stepforwardiest cunts in any of the souls games so far
Do I really have to completely redo my stats/start a new game if I want to maximize a new weapon? It pains me to get all these really cool looking weapons, but then my stats aren't optimized for it, so it's just a waste of space. Sure, there are some that use the same stats, but they're few and far between.
>>336021112
Nah, that would be bullshit. They should make the fire stunlock you so you can't move out of the grab if you get too close instead. Grab hitboxes are bad enough as it is already
>>336009226
>Learn to roll
>Bumrush him when he "spawns" so he does easily dodged melee attacks, which then allows you to get a full stamina bar of free hits on him
That's really all there is to it. I died a couple of times to him too, but that was because I kept my distance. Literally just run towards him, baiting his melee attack. If he uses arrows in the second stage, start dodge rolling until they're done and then continue the above tactic.
>>336021150
>5 games into the series
>Being this bad that you still haven't learnt how to bait enemies one at a time.
>>336020501
You would've known that'd happen if you gave her the firekeeper eyes from the past
>>336021268
Aldrich felt a bit like 4kings in that you could get unlucky, especially on phase 2. If Aldrich never stop spamming his arrow rain in phase 2 you can be stuck running around for a long time
>tfw trying to do a STR/FAI hybrid build

I swear the ONLY way to do ANY kind of magic in DaS3 is to exclusively pump either int or fai, and nothing else

>>336009226
I KNOW YOUR STRUGGLE.
I died to him 8 times before I finaly over came him. he is a moster.
and this was in a playthrough where no other boss killed me more than 3 times.
pic: my current build, in NG+, doing the lord of dark ending this time
On my 26th ear right now. been clipping fingers all day son.
OH, GRACIOUS LORD...
MAKE...
LONDOR...
WHOLE...
>>336009226
how can ANYONE have trouble on this boss?
im not even a souls elitist but this boss is literally
>just keep moving when he fires his purple balls, yes you can literally just walk and dodge them
>roll the soul spear if for some stupid reason you're far enough away that he's using that
>run up to him when he spawns and smash his shit in
>roll the stupidly telegraphed scythe
>when he shoots the sky, you hold down b and a direction
literally how can anyone find this hard? I one shot it with 4 estus on my first playthrough
>>336021150
If you're having trouble with those enemies, I fear you'll never beat Pontiff who's just a bit further down the line.
Good luck m8
>>336021435
True, but I didn't know that could happen. He never spammed it when I fought him. It would easily kill me though if he did.
Consumed King is kicking my ass
Which is fucking weird because Pontiff was the easiest nigga I've fought
>>336021497
>those fucking stats
Do you even do damage?
My god
>>336021567
I already beat sully the bully on my STR character but these niggers refused to get properly stunlocked/take any meaningful damage on my DEX character.
>>336021609
died to him over a 100 times in chalice dungeon
good times
the most grief so far has been the battle in my head over whether I want to ng+ or not. I don't know if I can be fucked going through the game again to unlock everything if I get bored, I'm only really pvping at the moment.
None of the bosses took more than 3 attempts solo.
>>336021662
On one of my attempts he barely used it at all but on the one I brought him down in, he just kept spamming it over and over, making me wait for ages until I could attack him. Still got him but it was just annoying. Good thing he doesn't get stronger the longer you take like 4kings
>>336021731
You're not playing your DEX char right then. I'm 43DEX with 35END and a whopping 12 VIG and I had no trouble with them whatsoever.
The twin princes
I dont have ps+ so cant summon and sirris hates me because i spoke to finger lady.
