*SOBS UNCRONTOLLABLY*
>>336681891
If you are dying to him then how the fuck did you even get to him?
>>336683691
OP is obviously crying due to Lorians tragic character
*teleports behind u*
*quick sword swipes and soul spear*
"This is our grave, but you may rest here too if you'd like."
One of the best bosses in the game. Not to mention one of the few original things in this massive rehash of a game.
10/10 their okay
>>336683834
This. Lorian deserved better. Best bro.Would hold hands.
>>336681891
Fucking pussy

I think you're confusing this with another boss fight
>>336685363

Fucking this. This shit is retarded. Everything else about him was absolute joke.

>literally Gower's ring turned bossfight
Why is Miyazaki such a hack?
>>336685552
But Lorian's father is in-game anon.
>>336685363
Just fucking roll through his attacks like 99% of the boss fights.
Is he so difficult? From what I can see on youtube that's pretty straight forward.
But then, I can't beat Champion Gundyr even if I am a filthy katana user, when he's in berserk mode I can't even land a single hit without taking damage from fucking sidekicks. And I can't figure out how to parry him in this second phase.
>>336685552
Same thing happened to me. I was about to take a screenshot and ask /v/ when suddenly the A prompt for placing the ashes popped up.
>>336685552

>>336686187
>L and L are easy by comparison to say Nameless King who really is CAMERA THE BOSS
Fuck off.

>>336686187

Get good. None of Nameless King attack are fast enough to disengage your auto lock-on. Unlike the Twin Homo Princes.
>>336686317
>>336686409
lol ok faggots get good if you can't beat L and L but claim to have no problem with Nameless king like seriously.
>>336685217
>Oceiros forced Lothric to becomefirewoodLord of Cinder

Father of year.
Literally did nothing wrong
>>336686187
The camera gets really annoying in this game. I think it's the abundance of large enemies, because you can't see their telegraphs; could be made better with some kind of variable zoom.
Also God forbid you get chased by one of those giant rats. The camera goes fucking nuts and it's amongst the most nauseating experience I've probably ever had in a video game.
Try it if you don't believe me- go to the large rat in the village sewers and run away from it. More sensitive players may literally throw up.
>>336686659
Twin princes were way more difficult than nameless king
NK has some of the easiest to dodge attacks in the game, you got like 5 seconds of visual cues before he does anything but the design of the fight and the reason he's any difficult is the length of the fight and how much damage he does if you fail to dodge everything
>>336686875
Why would you run away from it? What the fuck?
Also the camera has been like that in every souls game. Literally the only issue with this one is the lock-on falls off too easily.
>>336686875
Nothing wrong with camera in DS3. You just want some kinda magic wambo-jambo camera that can read your mind
>>336686187
>Nameless King who really is CAMERA THE BOSS
how are you 5 games into the series and still trying to lock on to big bosses?
>>336687076
>>336687070
>>336686875
An in-game FOV slider would be nice, you can do it with Collector's Edition and it plays well but you'll get banned for it.
>>336681891
Did Lorian get muted, crippled and retarded by taking part of Lothric's curse, or was it only the mute and cripple part?
>>336686997
NK was harder for me, but less fun. His first stage is boring and tedious, second stage is just typical humanoid boss. Decent humanoid boss, but nothing special.
>wanted age of dark on first play through
>still had to kill Lorian.
>>336686659
Nameless is fucking easy, you literally just have to stand next to him and strafe and he'll whiff almost all his attacks and not to mention his huge windup on obvious attacks that give you 10 years to dodge. The Princes are annoying in that they warp all over and shoot bullets at you while warping and the madman with the sword is gunning for you and sometimes surprise missile.
So what did they do that whole time holed up in a throne room with a giant bed instead of a bed?
>>336687853
Pillow fighting. Just at all these feathers on the floor.
>>336687076
If clicking the right analogue stick in while angling it up and down adjusted the zoom that would be perfect. The lock on system is mostly pretty good, but if you're gonna have massive enemies or ones that move so fast they break lock-on/are hard to track with it then you need to add a zoom function.
>>336687070
One time i was trying to go to the sewers to the velka statue and couldn't be bothered killing the big rat, the other time I pulled the two in the jail together by accident. Either way, what it does is cause the camera to zoom out, bob up and down rapidly, and slide in and out. Ugh, even thinking about it is making me feel ill.
>>336688030
>feathers on the floor
Good point. I wonder what they are actually from?
>the winged knights?
>the angel in the cage?
>from the younger prince maybe? side effect of his dad's weird experiments?
>maybe older price lothric had wings like the winged knights before he gave half his power to his brother? that's what's left of them?
>>336687853
i think about things like this all the time in games
what the fuck do these guys DO all day
then I realize that is what the point is not and I stop thinking of it and just have fun
>>336687853
Waited for the end.
>>336688336
Who knows. Lothric castle has a tones of unexplained interesting lore moments (angles, oil-mosters, Dark Firelink). Too bad that bigger part of DS3 is nostalgia:the game.
It`s kinda sad, because Lothric kingdom is the first DS kingdom which feels real. The last time I`ve got similar impressions was Demon`s Souls and Boletaria.
>>336688336
Winged Knights.
Gertrude was locked. So they probably constantly attacked the princes. Maybe she was pro Flame and her knights were trying to do the same thing as us and force the prince to do his job.
>>336689550
If angelic realigion was considered as heresy, why there are winged jewserpents statues everywhere?
>Young Lothric was meant to be a champion, and was expected to wield this platinum sword, but some things will remain distant dreams forever.
>>336690162
There is paintings of the Winged Knights and in Buntiful Miracle, Gertrude is said to be the Queen's daughter. So you might interpret, that herey might not always have been a thing. Just like the Deep church was not always that mess. So, if Gertrude was pro Flame, it's understandable why Lothric Prince would make a religion about her, an heresy while also explaining all those statues, a remnant of a time where it wa not considered an heresy.
>>336686306
Anyone ever feel like gundyr is playing a more fun game than we are?
"Muh berserk" Miyazaki is a hack
Game is a broken shitfest with stupid pandering.
>>336691119
>being retarded
>>336691119
>there is actually someone in this world who unironically dislikes any kind of Berserk pandering
Shit taste.
>>336690685
Well, in the past Lothric people worshipped dragons, flame, etc. Probably angels were pro-dark? Even princes use miracles with feathers particles.
>>336691240
It's not even Berserk.
Twin Princes statues and or figures when?
>>336691362
Angels are definitely pro-dark, given the statues of the angels we find.
>>336686306
lel
>>336691362
>>336691565
The only reason i don't think angels were pro dark is because the angelic miracles have no evidence of it. They are not dark miracles. So i would even go as far to say that the snake we see in the statue is not Kaathe but Frampt.
And if a Prince that want Dark to come banish the angelic faith, i'm more inclined to believe that the angelic faith can't be pro Dark as well.
>>336691119
>memecovenant
>complains about memes
seriously?
>>336691565
>>336691742
The "angels" are probably Frampt and pro-light, and those from Londor (I.E. New Londo ruins) are for Kaathe and pro-dark, at least as I took it.
>>336691936
The DLC better have some angel shit, that's all I'm gonna say.
>>336692003
There's two planned, so I imagine DLC one will be following angels and Frampt, and DLC 2 will be about Londor, Frampt, and whatever the fuck "the deep" is.
>>336692206
*Londor, Kaathe.
>>336681891
The second phase with my pyro is a little annoying. Have to kill this fucker like 4 times to actually finally kill him.
>>336692206
I`m afraid that we will get just another nostalgia trip.
>>336692206
I think you're wildly off base. One will be about Angels and Londor and the other will about about the Bearer of the Curse and Aldia as well as the Profaned Capital and Yhorm.
>>336692418
You have no idea how i suffered with my mage.
The young prince is strong against magic and all i had was a +10 Crystal estoc and my sorceries. A nightmare.
>>336692661
I require a translation super bad
>>336692680
>bearer
>Aldia
I find hard to believe they'll touch those topics.
First, because Bearer can be associated with Woldir. A guy who cheated fate and unified crowns.
Second, Aldia is a brick wall. Don't know how you can evolve it into anything.
Could be wrong, but those are my two cents.
>>336693043
Aldia was the scholar who convinced them not to link the flame
It was lost in transation so we only got "scholar"
>>336693043
>I find hard to believe they'll touch those topics.
They already did. Aldia was tutor to Lothric or Lorian.
>First, because Bearer can be associated with Woldir. A guy who cheated fate and unified crowns.
That's retarded. Seriously. BotC didn't conquer Carthus and grind their crowns into dust. There's also the description of the dark sigil about a firekeeper comforting a bearer of the curse.
>Second, Aldia is a brick wall. Don't know how you can evolve it into anything.
Are you fucking retarded? Did you even get the Aldia ending in SotFS? He's trying to find a way to shatter the cycle and the SotFS ending involves BotC going off with his immortal hollow crown to try and figure it out with Aldia.
>>336691094
Gundyr is tired of fighting faggot bosses and when you come around its the first good bossfight he's had all game

>>336692680
You killed Aldia in the now "canon" DS2. And you can't tell me that after not explaining what the deep is and flat out namedropping Kaathe and (arguably) New Londo that they wouldn't make a DLC out of it.

It's too perfect.

>>336686997
I beat the twin princes first try, but keep getting fucked over by the camera when fighting Nameless King.
>>336681891
Whats really funny about how DS3 bosses are is that I have a harder time with the Frost Knight in a basement of Lothric Castle than any of the bosses did
Actually I found the stupid frost knight with its ludicrous infinite stamina and tracking harder than the Dragon Slayer Armor
>>336693603
Aldia was the medic, wasn't he?
>>336693463
>You killed Aldia
No, you battled him. He even fucking talks to you after that battle.
>Kaathe and (arguably) New Londo
Will be the focus of one of the DLCs along with Frampt and his Angels or whatever. The other, will be a followup to DaS2 and give us closure for BotC, Aldia, Alsanna and Yhorm.
>two DLC two serpents.
There's not enough going on here anon. You always have to look for the part of a Souls game that are under-explained but often mentioned. Londor and the Primordial serpents is one, but the Profaned Capital and Yhorm is another. Especially when you look at all the other hints towards Aldia, BotC and Alsanna.
>>336686306
>Gundyr, he moves... so fast.
>>336693714
Also the camera is really fucky
either the camera wings around really fast and I lose orientation or I don't even fucking see the boss and it hits me OR the camera somehow loses lock on and I'm stuck standing the opposite way and I get nailed in the back.
DS3 camera is so fucked compared to DS2
>>336693925
giant lord is far worse than anything in dark souls 3
>>336686306
he looks like he's animated in stop motion
>>336692823
something along the lines "rise up dear brother, you're my sword after all, it's daijobu so revive, later I'll give you a reward" and in second frame ornstein goes "their male bonding seems a bit dangerous, doesn't it?" and smough replies "don't fucking touch my chest"
>>336693278
Calm down anon. No need to call others retarded. I know all about those details you said. Aldia being Lothric tutor is as valid as Woldir being the Bearer. You can negate one for being retarded, but also negate the other for being retarded. Because both are not conclusive at all. It's a possibility, for positive, or negative, for both.
And i would be thankful if everytime a confrontation against DaS2 people stopped bringing the idea that the person confronting didn't played the game. More people played 2 than the original.
The reason i consider Aldia a brickwall is because him, like the Bearer crown, can fit into some Deus Ex concept. Out of nowhere, a guy becomes something never heard off and break the cycle for themselves. How to extrapolate that into the world the game is set? I'm just saying i can't see how.
And that 3 implications, already hints us that the cycle of Light and Dark might either been broken or just be part of an even bigger cycle. That's all i'm saying here and i don't think i deserve such stones thrown at me because of it.
has anyone tried to put the lords of cinder in the dark firelink shrine?
>>336694087
>Aldia being Lothric tutor is as valid as Woldir being the Bearer.
No it's not. Not even close.
> Because both are not conclusive at all
No, Aldia is completely conclusive and you're just dumber than shit.
> That's all i'm saying here and i don't think i deserve such stones thrown at me because of it.
Try to inform yourself about the lore before you post about it and get butthurt when your halfbaked ideas and rejected.
>>336694261
Nothing happens.
>>336693314
>>336694261

>>336691820
Why cant people like you just die?
>>336686997
For your sorry ass maybe.
If you faggots didn't rely so much on the fucking lock-on maybe you would be worth shit and someone would actually give any consideration to your opinions.
>>336694370
how did we go form this
>>336694508

the fucking frost knight before him was harder

>>336686306
Whaaaat
>>336694556
ok DSP
>>336694608
Ornstein is the storm drake
Nameless king's name is Faraam
Solaire was the knight who served them both
>>336693853
I don't know, the profaned capital seems pretty open and shut, to be honest.
>>336694276
Well anon, i'll leave to time to prove your assumptions and atitudes to be wrong. You're clearly not interested or either up to par for a healthy discussion of contradictory opinions.
>>336692796
I'm a mage right now and it's sad how much better pyro is. GCFireOrb hits like a fucking TRUCK, has not requirements to use, has splash damage, tracking, uses little stamina for its damage, casts relatively quickly and leaves a DOT lava pool.
For comparison, Great Heavy Soul Arrow has a longer casting time, moderately high requirements, HITS FOR LESS, and can only be used twice before it consumes 20points of stamina. Soul Spear hits for about as much as GCFireOrb but same problem as above plus consuming a healthy chunk of FP.
Pictured here is Oceiros. I was getting fucked up in his second phase cause I couldn't cast anything. My sword was hitting like paper and any hard hitting spell would mean I would trade blows with him. Died about 11 times before I said fuck it, and used GCFireOrb only and won without much hindrance.
>>336694712
don't give me that garbage
dragon armor has like 3 fucking moves and 2 different shield bashes. Even in his second form he doesn't do anything more beyond a single side swipe with his lightening axe

>>336694832

>>336694508
this boss was only hard because his arena makes my game tank to single digit fps so I had to either summon or stop playing
>>336686997
>Twin princes were way more difficult than nameless king
Absolutely not.
Twin princes was a decent challenge, but NK has an insanly aggravating first phase thanks to the totally abysmal camera in that fight, plus it's really hard to judge the distance.
>>336694473
>>336694780
That's why you never go full caster
At least get a weapon that can allow you to do damage, then upgrade INT/FTH
>>336694986
I wasn't even paying attention to that, it does dick damage overall
the dragon armor is a 2 hit kill regardless
>>336694780
I know the bullshit about being a sorcery caster against Oceiros.
I had to completely abandon my playstyle. I took a greatsword, reinforced it, dual weild it and coated it in lighting. Took me 2 attempts.
As a sorcerer? Probably died 5 times for same reasons you described it.
In my playthrough as a dex/pyro weilder? 0 deaths.

New anon here, not one of those two who are arguing in here
Can someone care to explain/direct me to the infos that mention Aldia in Lothric? This is the first I've heard of it and it sounds interesting.
>>336695142
No, he was a king of Lothric who went nuts and tried to turn himself into a dragon.

>The Profaned Flame is the Chaos Flame
>But we don't know why it was cursed with abyss
The other Lords of Cinder are pretty thoroughly explained and fit into things pretty well. The only exception is Ludleth, but it's doubtful that we'd see a Courland DLC instead of a DLC that follows up on Aldia/Bearer of the Curse/Alsanna and a descendant of Giant Lord.
>>336695142
He's Seath's son
>>336695019
>>336694276
You're forgetting that Dark Souls 2 is non-canon.
>>336695142
he was a normal humanoid lord but then he started smoking white crystal weed and thought he was a dragonkin
Daily reminder that if you position the camera at just the right angle, underneath Firekeeper's dress, she has snek legs just like Gwyndolin
>>336695230
The only thing that "mentions" aldia is that a scholar that doubted the fire linking was tutoring lothric

I`m confused about Lorian`s hair color. In first cutscene it`s black, but during the fight and
second cutscene he is pale blonde.
>>336695569
It's a fucking straight sword. you already know what it does.the weapon skill is cool for all of 10 seconds.
>>336694927
sunlight maggot took over his body, it is why the worm drops a lightning miracle
>>336695278
>>But we don't really understand why or what really happened to Profaned Capital
Yhorm ruled the profaned capital, lost someone dear to him, began to become depressed, and after giving the storm ruler to his friend Siegward and his citizens, he linked the flame. After linking the flame, the capital was consumed in fire, killing everyone. That's why Yhorm is an asshole when you see him.
>>Court Sorcerers reference Alsanna
>But we don't really know what happened to her
Not by name, so it could just be a child of dark in general, who Karla in Irythill dungeon is heavily implied to be.
The profaned flame isn't properly explained.
Is Farron = Faraam?
>>336695714
lighting, it's all one color the entire time
>>336695473
The fucking spell the description is for is a spell Aldia fucking literally invented.
>>336695820
That's bullshit, but I'll believe it considering the location.
>>336695438
bullshit
>>336695860
Farron is a wolf
>>336695976
I thought the kingdom/people/knighthood was called Farron and they just happened to follow a wolf, not that the wolf is actually called Farron.
>>336695976
Farron is not the fuckin' wolf, you furfag
>>336681891
As if anyone would willingly cripple themselves like that, especially for a frail bastard like Lothric
I just want more things about Alva and Zullie.
>playing as a caster
>lorien teleports around, breaking my lock on
>can't cancel the casting animation, spell hits the floor somewhere around me
Playing pure Sorc in this game really is just the least fun shit you can possibly do.
>>336695883
So by that logic rosaria is gywnevere since her soul can make her miracle
Unless it directly states it's aldia then it's not
>>336696029
>thought the kingdom/people/knighthood was called Farron
That is correct
The other anon is just dumb as fuck, probably a Solairefag
>>336695976
the wolf is named the Old Wolf OF Farron, not Old Wolf Farron
also presumably it's sif or his descendant

Yeah, the illusion was meant to fool people into believing she was still there. Would be pointless if she looked completely different from the real one.
>>336691119
what the fuck does your screenshot have to do with pandering?
did people actually find Dragonlayer Armour hard?
genuine question?
>>336696763
They would fake it to give her this larger than life image of an unbelievably beautiful fertility goddess. Keep in mind, a core theme in Dark Souls is the manipulation and inaccuracy of history.
Also, the Gwynevere we see in DS3 is far older than the one from the original, so there's another explanation.
>>336696969
First phase is fun. People get killed by the blind siding in the second phase.
>>336696969
>Dragonlayer
get out, filthy dragon fucker
>>336696969
Not at all on my first run, but I died a few times on my second for some reason.
>>336696969
No.
I might have been over leveled, but niggers acted like you needed to roll in there with 3 fucking phantoms to win.
I only needed my +10 Butchers Axe
>>336696943
why
>>336696969
No, but I also summoned the bodyguard dude.
>>336697191
Delicious Rosaria feet

>hard
Not really, everything after the Lords just turns it's damage up to 11.
None of the bosses in the game are "good". You just look past all the terribleness because of reasons other than physically fighting it.Pontiff is the exception
Someone redpill me on Curse-Rotted Greatwood. Does this boss have any lore?
>>336685363
If you're locked onto him your camera will follow him even when he teleports, unless he does the move where he teleports away to do the beam attack. In that case it's your own fucking fault for not using the stick on your controller that exists exclusively to move the damn camera and find him before he does it.
You can always wait a half-second after he appears before dodging to tell if he's attacking right away or if he has wind-up. And I'm pretty sure you can also judge how soon he'll attack after teleporting based on how quickly he teleported after his last attack.
>>336697331
>None of the bosses in the game are "good".
I'm not sure about that.
>>336697361
Yeah, he loves S&M and was begging for someone to crush all of his nutsacks
SoC and Yhorm has the same chest armour. Banner, rib cage and all.
>>336696969
I died several times to Dragonslayer Armor. Mostly because that slow wind-up sweeping attack he'd do in the second phase would also get me and I still have trouble getting the timing right on it. And I'd always get OHKO'd by it, so all it took was one mistake and I was done.
>>336695498
> personal
Ya blew it
>>336696969
why did I put a question mark wtf, I need sleep
>>336697023
>>336697132
>>336697169
I see
I heard from places that he was meant to be pretty hard but I didnt find it too bad
took most of my estus but nothing too difficult
I was expecting that floating piece of shit to be a pain i the ass but it's attacks did jack shit
>>336697459
The 2nd phase is boring compared to the first. I liked the idea of it having more than one combat style.
At some point someone at from said "hey he doesnt have a 2nd phase. We need to fix that"
"Refill his health and make his sword bigger"
SoC went from cool to shit in the span of 2 seconds.
>>336697603
Nah, the SoC armour is a warped, burnt version of the elite knight set from DS1
>>336697684
No, fucker. Google it. Shoulder pads =\= chest plate. Yhorm has the same chestplate.
>>336697669
Did you not hear the music and notice that the moveset was exactly the one Gwyn has, down to the grab? There's a reason for that.
>>336697684
While there are tons of similarities to the elite knight armour in the design, there are parts of Soul of Cinder that do stand out as not being like the elite kngiht armour, like the very thing that person mentioned. Try taking a damn look instead of just assuming you know the whole deal.
>>336697684
It is, but the other guy is right. Compare Yhorm's armour to his, the centre is the same.
>>336697603
Does SoC have anything in its design from Aldrich or the Abyss Watchers?
>>336696416
>Gwyndolin was hot and even had tits.
Can confirm
>>336697684
Elitefag BTFO
>>336697819
Yes, it'd be hard to not notice. Doesn't mean its good.
>>336695492
This art is fucking god tier holy shit. Is it official or fan art?
>>336696385
Why is the Pontiff so fucking evil
God I hope he comes back in the DLC
>>336697132
This, I beat him first try in NG but NG+ I just got rekt.
>>336696416
>liking tits
Disgusting.
>>336698006
That's fanart.
>>336697954
I need DLC bossfight with Gwyndolin and NK with same cutscene as princes.
>>336697951
Doesn't seem like it
>>336691240
>>there is actually someone in this world who unironically dislikes any kind of Berserk pandering
I dislike any kind of pandering like this, is almost like the devs are saying " we ran out of creativity, lets put some references here, sure the retards who play this shit will eat it up and ignore that we are not creating anything original".
>>336698057
My completely from my ass hopes for the DLC are
1: Profaned Flame
2. The Deep
3. Dragons / whatever
The Profaned Flame and the Deep are the only parts of 3's lore that I liked. Shockingly because it wasn't recycled ideas from the first game.
Let me tell you how PvP works. When you invade, the Host of Embers shakes his rattle and starts emitting a wail that pierces the ear drums. A wail that causes all summon signs to start shaking and erupting, spewing forth Colors of White, Yellow and Blue.
>>336697954
truly he's the best girl(male)
>DLC totally revamps the world map and makes it nonlinear and interconnected like DaS1
Please make this happen. All they need to do is add some shortcuts and alternate paths to places
>>336698185
...Anon, Aldrich ate Gwyndolin.
>>336698278
I don't know why I even asked about Aldrich considering he's a fucking blob
>>336691119
>naked with memeshield
>>336698296
>Profaned Flame
Really? It's just Eleum Loyce and Old Chaos 2.0.
>>336698342
>nonlinear and interconnected like DaS1
dis maymay
>>336698354
No problem, all From DLC is about timetravel.
>>336698356
It's k :)
>>336696281
>Implying every named NPC isn't actually Gwynevere undercover
>>336697813
>>336697845
I don't know about the same chestplate, but then again I haven't found a decent screenshot of Yhorm's model
>>336697840
>Try taking a damn look instead of just assuming you know the whole deal.
Same with that guy.
>>336697994
Nope.
>>336698427
I mean it probably is but I'd just hope From could be midly more creative than "The Chaos came from the sky this time instead of the earth"
>>336698342
The reason why they could just toss in shortcuts in Dark Souls was because the world was arranged vertically. Chances are, you were almost always above or below another area in the game even if you walked quite a distance to get there. Dark Souls 3 can't just "add some shortcuts", dumbass, the world sprawls out much more horizontally, the sniper giant on the tower highlights this pretty well. Those shortcuts would either have to break the logistics of the world or be huge tunnels or paths. Entire areas unto themselves.
i hope they explore frostbite mechanic a bit more in the DLC
They kinda made a big deal about it prerelase but only 3 enemies (same enemy in different places) and 1 boss inflict it along with some jars in Irithyll
>>336698472
....But. If we go back in time and kill Gwyndolin, how can Aldrich eat him
>>336698281
Less pandering maybe just more of Miyazaki being a huge faggot over Berserk. It's not like the game is saturated with a hundred berserk references.
As a series + bloodborne tho, yes, there's quite a few.
>>336696969
I haven't died to him yet but I always find him hard because my FPS drops to like 10 whenever he does an attack, and for that fight in particular it's a constant 20 when he's not.
This also happens with dancer and pontiff, I dubbed it "challenge mode"
>>336698342
It's true, it could be so easy:
>make irithyll/irithyll dungeon connect to smouldering lake, as the viewpoint to distant manor can be seen from near the arbalest
>make pit of hollows connect to smouldering lake, as this would be a connection that makes sense as smouldering lake is positioned basically directly below undead settlement
>make farron keep/undead settlement/lothric high wall connect through the bridge
>unlock the route to grand archives so you don't have to go through the rest of the game to get to it for like no real reason
Bleed in this game is fucking brutal man.. running 40 dex 40 luck hollow carthus curved sword with carthus rouge, destroys bosses and haven't lost a single invasion out of like 20 something invades. A souls game where Bleed is actually fucking viable
Hey I'm starting a pyromancer since I've never played one in souls,
any tips? Early game stuff to do, what int/faith I should shoot for etc. Honestly have no idea what I'm doing besides I wanna shoot fire, fast roll, and use an axe/mace. Thanks in advance guys.
>>336698621
Yes, the helmet, shoulders, and arms are Elite Knight, but you can tell just by looking here, even if you don't think it's Yhorm, that the torso looks nothing like Elite Knight. Elite Knight looks to be wearing a coat over chainmail or some other light armour. Soul of Cinder has a metal chest piece with some tapestry/banner/whatever this is called on armour thing running down the front. Even a blurry screenshot of Yhorm will show you he has the same thing on his front, and he's one of the only lords of cinder in the game everybody can agree has linked the fire.
>>336698661
fair enough. I'm just really bummed that they went with the more linear approach.
It's not a bad thing in and of itself. But it makes the game much less replayable when you're going to be going through the levels in the same order every time, and you're going to encounter weapons/items in the same order, etc. It's not like DaS1 where you can plan out where you want to go to get what you want.
>>336698621
Here you go bros I have this one from Siegward's cutscene, though I could never got a shot of the backplate
