Literally what? Fuck you from.
Is there any negative to hollowing other than looking gross?

DS games have input delay up your ass, something that didn't happen with BB but for some reason they decided to keep this on DS3.

Since other thread is bump limit, I'll repost here;
So DaS3 is my first Souls game that I got at the behest of friends. Read the lore for the previous games up until. Correct me where I'm wrong
>The world was created, though never explained how. Through inexplicable events it became a grey, ashen world inhabited by dragons and crag trees.
>At some point, the First Flame appeared, either having always been there, or being discovered by creatures from the dark.
>In the Flame were the Souls of Lords, powerful souls that sustained the flame and gave its bearers godlike power
>From this, the first gods were born, who used that power to take the surface world from the dragons and shape it as they desired.
>The final Soul of Lords, which was little more than an ember, was discovered by the Furtive Pygmy and led to the birth of humanity
>However, in taken the Souls of Lords, the the First Flame was weakened and slowly began to fade.
>To prevent the Age of Darkness, in which the Souls of Lords would fail and humanity would take over, but lead eventually to the end of the world, Gwyn sacrifice himself to link the fire and rekindle it once more, becoming the first Lord of Cinder and losing his godhood.
>The first DaS game takes place well after this, as the flame begins to fade again and the Chosen Undead repeats Gwyn's actions, becoming another lord of cinder.
>Repeat this several times over, and we're now in DaS3, where the fire linking no longer works, and the Unkindled must gather all the Lords of Cinder back to their thrones, open the way to the first Lord of Cinder (Which is now the Chosen Undead) and somehow permanently rekindle the First Flame
I'm probably missing a shitload of lore, but thats the best I've gathered so far.
>>138582330
Question is, Do we have to go through it?I know we do, but can we find a way to skip it
Preload is up!

Anyone have any experience with using weapon buffs like DMB and Lightning Blade? How are they and are they worth the 30 faith investment?

no
So I was originally planning on doing a str/int build, but I realized that it's boring.
With these stats, is it too late to go dex/faith? I haven't played a Souls game in years, so I have no clue how to make such a build.
So after a metric fuckton of invasion today i'm pretty sure that parries are calculated on clientside basis meaning if i'm even against a person who deals obvious delayed hits i can parry him more or less adequately.
>>138582370
yes, nothing happens, except that weirdo nigga get smooshed in the falling floor.
also. how the fuck are these katana faglords out tanking, out healthing, out dpsing the UGS when its supposed to hit for 300. and is only hitting them for 140. and they hit me for about 3rd of my health in one hit, and then can just combo into a 3...
is dex OP this time around?
because the UGS is literal cancer... no crit multipler, slower then ever, and shit dmg...
Could anyone hint me where to find the next area after beating the Greatwood?
Sorcery sure got cucked this time
making sorcerer for second playthrough
someone help me am i even meant to be using a shield or melee weapon lel

There was no reason to remove DaS 2's superior netcode either, but I guess the Japanese are just retarded this year.
Trying to tech up my shitty PC so I can stop playing in 1024x768 like a fucking caveman.

I will go ahead and say that Knight type enemies are probably the most bullshit enemies in the game. The damage and speed of shield bashes is fucking stupid. It's literally their most dangerous attack. Their tracking and 180 degree pivot attacks are also super obnoxious.
If players had the ability to shield bash for that kind of stamina damage or with that speed nobody would be bitching about havel estocs. But it's so bullshit they can't let the player do it.
>>138582531

It's Dark Souls 1 all over again...
It worked fine in 2, on release day. Why is it broken again?
Sure is great being a faith user with no faith scaling weapons or any offensive miracles at all
Uhhh I extinguished a flame inna swamp and apparently some tower somewhere is no longer on fire.
I assume I was supposed to do that?
>>138582770
Imo they should have made the favorites presets shareable text files or something that you can share with other people and they drop them in their favorites/character presets folder and it loads them
at least they added numbers so you can write them down and post them that way

30 isn't too high at all. You can level up to damn near 16 with the souls from Gundyr and Crystal Lizard alone. What is fucking him over is his weapon upgrade tier which locks him out as most people haven't upgraded to +3 by then.
>>138582912
They're working, its just that the signs don't disappear quick enough after they've already gotten summoned

>>138582930
It's really strange how pure faith users get fuck and all offensively until near the end of the game. Then all you really have is Lightning because Blessed is hot garbage and you better be using a Longsword because everything else scales ass with it. Hope you don't plan on using miracles either because the fall-off is super-massive on lightning spears and you need to be fisting their asshole to do decent damage which defeats the whole fucking point.
>>138582316
>Dancer of the boreal valley
Yeah From nice job, make it so she can die in like 10 hits but give her an unstoppable offense with literally only one opening in phase two
>>138582559

Is the transforming Hollow near the start even beatable once it transforms? This might be the hardest enemy I've encountered since the bridge drake in terms of bullshit.
>>138582960

uh???
>>138582415
One thing that may help: keep your distance, even if it's just walking to the side and away from him. The more you see how he attacks the more likely you are to anticipate them. Don't worry about strictly hitting him at first. Just focus on his pattern and hit when you know he's vulnerable (and you will find out). Don't blow your stamina load either, just in case you need to get out of the way.
>>138583139
i have both. UGS IS LITERAL SHIT.
its slower then ever, no golf swing... bad damage, etc etc.
i lose all my fights becuase im swinging about 3 times slower then a r1 katanafaglord who hits for the exact same dmg.
what weapon to use as dexfag?
Irithyll Straight Sword

>>138582969
from is technically incompetent and cobbles together separate somewhat-working parts of a video game into one somewhat-working video game.
It's a wonder they're in business, honestly. Those kings fields game barely ran and still today are a performance mess even when emulated on a rig that is 1000x as strong as a ps1
>>138583086
No, the netcode and infrastructure is simply shit.
Dark Souls 2, everything worked flawlessly. If you had a failed summoning, you'd be told within 3 seconds. You could drop a sign on release day and become summoned a literal second afterwards if you were lucky.
It's the exact-100%-same broken netcode as Dark Souls 1 had, where summon signs are timed out but left on the servers anyways.
>>138583218
At least the healing miracle is super duper useful but holy shit I regret going cleric otherwise

>>138583253
I felt exactly the same way until after a whole bunch of deaths, it suddenly clicked and I was able to beat him pretty easily.
I think it's mostly just a matter of how irregular and unfamiliar the model is. It takes some time to figure out what does what and why and where and when.
>walking innna woods

>>138582485
Gywn couldn't even throw lightning anymore when he linked the fire, all he had was his greatsword and his knights
Firelinking still works in DS3, but the current Lord of Cinder call it quits early. The final boss is the incarnation of all lords of Cinders and you linking the flame ends up in a pathetic smoulder.
>>138582316
Does anyone want to explain why this is so prevalent in Dark Souls 3? Enemies have massive fucking combos that will kill you if even two hits land and getting hit by one will stun you long enough for a second hit to land. So you end up just sitting there waiting for their fucking Ultra Combo to finish before you stunlock them to death with your longsword.
30 times to the first boss. Please just tell me if I'm shit or if atleast someone in the universe has had suffering like this, tell you found a way out.
>another invader that just runs at me full pelt and tries for a jump attack open as I'm standing waiting on them

>>138583253
Poke it with a torch.
Why is the Dark Hand hitbox so fucking bad? I want it to be good but it's impossible to hit anyone unless they're standing still.
You can't even parry+dark hand combo because they recover too fast.
Is there a hidden scaling to make the charge up faster like the NPC darkwraiths?
>>138582567
nigger that place was easy as shit
>>138583516
His hitboxes might seem unreadable once he transforms, but all you really need to worry about is rolling past the swings his new skeleton arm makes, and occasionally dodging downward thrusts from the snake head.
>>138583559
When PvP becomes difficult to actually find, then you'll get bows
But for now, the faster you can kill, the faster you can get to the next invasion and get more covenant items
>>138583507
From thinks that everything should be like Shitborne and B-Team didnt do a single thing right.
>>138583461
hm good question, here's a radical idea: dont stand in the purple fog.
I ran the game for 6 hours straight yesterday on high with no problems. But, for some reason now the fps is literally sub 10 on low, and I'm being booted from online for low frames 5 seconds into the tutorial.
Anyone else getting fucked in the same way?
>>138582848
Um, what did you expect?
You are too high level for the area you are in. People usually arrive at undead settlement after killing Vorte and maybe leveling up 3 or so times after Firelink (on PS4 anyway).
Here I'll make it simple for you.
01 - 15: Lothric
15 - 20: Undead Settlement
20 - 30: Swamp/Forest
30 - 40: Catacombs/Izalith
40 - 50: Disneyland
45 - 55: Anal Rodeo
45 - 55: Irithyl Dungeon/Yhorm
55 - 65: Dancer/Dragonfucker
65 - 75: Spooky Bookshop
75+ Lothric Gaytwins
80+ Soul of Cinder
BONUS
65+ Shrine of Storms 2.0
PC idiots seem to be farming the ever living shit out of everything so they seem to be like 15 levels higher in every zone than they should be.
You're supposed to only really use souls from bosses and souls you find + killing regular enemies through a couple run throughs of the area. It sounds like PC players are actually farming to level up.
>>138583559
i get that when i purple summon...
i help them out untill i see my optimal time to strike or a reddie invades and we double team'm
but some kids just rush me like im some npc, so i have to kill them...
>>138583516
If it's your first souls game, then yes, a lot of people know your pain. You should've seen the sheer amount of bloodstains in Dark Souls 2 of all fucking things at launch. The easiest goddamned souls game and most of the buyers got themselves killed in ways that I can't comprehend.
If you want, get Dark Souls and try your hand at that.
I have no idea how hard DS3 is, but a lot of people cut their teeth on Dark Souls 1.
>>138583608
the entire thing could have just read "fuck all" and it would've been the same.
>>138583139
>Is the Butcher Knife a good STR weapon
It's a surprisingly light and fast axe that deals massive stamina damage and has a healing WA which gives you back like 50 HP on each hit.
Literally the only bad thing about it is that it has shit hyperarmor.
In fact you can use both it and UGS at the same time as they compensate for weaknesses of each other.
>>138583494
So wait, I thought the whole point of this latest title was about ending the cycle.
>>138583694
>>138583516
What are you having issues with? 2nd form? See what this anon said >>138583292. Find out his patterns. The first form has very simple patterns. Keep your distance and roll away and hit him when you get the chance. For the second form, stay close to him and just mash at him.

Explain this lorefags.
This dark souls is almost as easy as 2. I'm in frozen anal rodeo, and I've died 4 times. 2 deaths were from rolling off an edge.
Are dark souls games getting easier, or am I just getting too gud for this shit?
>>138583507
>>138582316
It showed up towards the end of DaS2 as well. Fucking Drakekeepers, especially the great mace fags.
>>138583507
this is my theory:
in des/das/das2 there was always a handful of enemies/bosses that were extremely fast and aggressive. Because they were different than other enemies/bosses and forced players to use a different play style, they were considered hard/challenging bosses.
In DaS3 they went and said "what if we make every fucking enemy like that? Prepare to die Xddd"
either that or they wanted to gofast like BB but forgot to make the players sanic too.
As for the "nopoise" thing, well fromsoft is just retarded and is literally incapable of learning from past mistakes
>>138583727
Not even him, I thought weapon tiers had higher priority over SL. There's not much point to that restriction this way.
>>138583581
The difference was in Bloodborne you had a lot more mobility and could dodge in to attack. A lot of enemies feel like they were literally taken from a DLC area that never was and thrown into Dark Souls 3 without accounting for the fact that the player can't move like they did in bloodborne. So it seems like you are just sitting on your thumbs waiting for blender to stop because you can't get in there without getting caught up in it.
>Someone greenlit Pontiff
This boss was the most obnoxious fucker I've ever fought
>>138582973
Wrong. +3 is fine for settlement. It goes by upgrade type.
30 is too high. That level does not make sense for the area, as even a host beating Greatwood (which would kill all PVP) still wouldn't normally amass enough souls to be 30.
He's too high.
Is this what i think it is?
So, did anyone discover weapons that work well with hollow infusion beyond the Great Corvian Scythe?

>>138583516
Consider changing class?
Bring firebombs or be a pyro; the second form can be gutted down to almost dead by spamming fire at it as it transforms
>first form
Get a hit in when he wakes up. Stay close to him. Roll into his attack, he'll whiff and you.ll be behind him for a hit or two.
Repeat until he turns into Wesker.
Then fire him to almost dead when he transforms, if you're panicked by Wesker mode run away but watch him as he'll jump attack you and you need to dodge. THen just get in on him and hit him a couple times.
You can kill him in like 10 hits, so you need to work on avoiding damage and your timing
>>138583389
If you even enter the catacombs he dies.
>>138583316
Fuck, I was just gonna ask how my STR/FAI bros are. I'm a bit further back than you but I was wondering when I'd drop this fucking broadswoard. I have 20 STR and 22 FAITH right now. I was thinking about maining the crescent axe, making it blessed and dumping into FAITH so I can keep with my build and attempt to do my damage.
Who else is doing a faith build?

I have to admit, I don't know why but it's apparently just not that good. I compared it to my one, which is very far away from being an amazing CPU, and it sounds pretty bad compared to mine even though it's the same number of cores and mine's only 3.2.
http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/361/AMD_FX-Series_FX-4350_vs_Intel_Core_i5_i5-6500.html
Talking of mine compared to that one:
> The processor is 48% faster in single-threaded tasks.
>Multi-threaded performance of the CPU is higher (70% faster)
>In memory-intensive applications, the microprocessor is 23% faster.
Mine does cost $200, though. Still, if mine is just "okay" and it's THAT much better than that one you're looking at... well, I'd avoid it
So what's the point where you should stop leveling stuff like health, str/dex, or endurance due to diminishing returns? Is it around 40-ish again?
>>138583850
Weapon teirs only matter after SL.
You still need to be in their soul level range, but you just can't be using a better upgraded weapon for that range than them.
+3 is fine to invade even SL10's. Shards can and do drop from enemies in the first zone.
It's when Large Shards start coming in where a gating off happens.

It's just disappointing. We expected a more tactical, strategic game and what we got was just r1 spam infinite stamina no poise aggresive enemies all over the place.
I can't believe this was the game we were all waiting for.
>>138584112
Does the gating work if you stash it in a box and use a weaker weapon?
Do you have to be embered to be 'summoned' as a Watchdog?
How do I make this thing good? It looks so damn cool, but that base damage is awful.
>>138584068
Consoles can only play games so people there are keeping their skills honed regularly
PC can do other things besides games and has little worthwhile games of its own so when they get a console game their atrophied gaming skills result in frustration and ragequitting

>>138584021
It can't be just that. I haven't even killed Abyss Watchers and he's already dead (just got done with Deacons).
How the hell does the watchdog summoning work?
I put the thing on like 12 hours ago and forgot about it because I haven't been summoned once
Why do fog walls keep appearing in Firelink? I'm not even in Lord of Cinder mode or whatever it's called when you use an ember.

I agree. It's just a little off, but I'm still enjoying myself and the game is great tbqhfam

>>138583819
You're getting too good. I had the same problem. Played Demon's Souls for the first time about four months ago. Could count the number of deaths on two hands, one if you don't count falling off cliffs. Didn't even get killed by Allant, and I heard he was a fucking beast.

Consoles had the luxury of being introduced to attack-spam enemies via Bloodborne, without grounds for complaint because it's a new IP, things are gonna be different, whatever.jpg
PC folk have nothing but past Souls games to work off of. We ain't desensitized to these types of enemies.
That said, I'm not one of them, I like the enemies.
>>138583727
That would be accurate if you raised all of that by 10 levels for each area. Using nothing but the souls you get from bosses and enemies and you will be pushing SL 100 by the time you reach Soul of Cinder. You can easily be 70 or 80 by the time you hit Dancer and in fact on my past two characters I had to stop investing souls into levels and buying shit just to stay at 80 for PvP by the time I had gotten to Dancer.
>>138584250
God that was hilarious
I remember stepping into the cats house and it was just blood EVERYWHERE
I can only assume the pigs followed them
>>138584214
nope, it counts the highest upgraded weapon you own even if it's not on your person
meaning if you have a +5 weapon in box but are using an unupgraded one right now it counts as you using a +5 weapon
>mfw Dancer swords are fucking garbage
I mean, I know I shouldn't have expected much from a phys/fire/dark split weapon but damn
>>138584004
That's fucking disgusting. 38 in the settlement.
Jesus christ PC what are you doing.
>>138584201
Sounds like you fucking suck. Stop trying to attack when other things are clearly attacking. Stop running into a crowded room expected to have a good time.

I think it just locks you inside until the whole outside area is loaded, since it takes a little while and as far as I've seen it only happens there.
>>138584170
The WA is neat, but it just feels like a limp dick compared to previous games. Especially compared to DaS2 where it was one of the best in the game.
So i saw the crypt blacksword from DS2 is in DS3 on a loadscreen..anyone know where it is?
>>138583765
>Dark Souls 2
>easiest
I played Dark Souls 1 and 2 back to back. One is so much easier than two it isn't funny. None of the enemies can counter circle strafing, they all telegraph their moves and they're all slow as fuck. I handedly beat down Artorias and Manus first try without even needing the dark magic protection charm.
Fume Knight on the other hand still gives me trouble.
BOY I LOVE THIS PASSWORD CO-OP
I IMAGINE I'D LIKE IT MORE
IF IT ACTUALLY WORKED
Codeine Covenant is amazing holy shit
Everything can turn into a shitfest in an instant

>>138584323
You need to be in a forest to get summoned.
>>138584428
Oh dammit, shouldn't have upgraded then. Is it by shard tier or +/- X weapon levels?
Is anyone else not getting summoned for the Watchdogs areas?
I've been sitting here for 15+ minutes with nothing. I'm level 33.
>any weapon that isn't the broadsword is pure garbage
Sometimes I consider just boxing it and forgetting I had it. But I know I'd run back and grab it the instant I was a sliver from killing an enemy in 2-3 shots.
>>138584250
Majula bloodstains were one thing. Most people just roll off the cliff as a joke.
It was those fucking stains right at the beginning of Huntsman's Copse that fucked my mind. The shallow river. So many goddamned bloodstains in the water I didn't even get to the bonfire on the other side because I just assumed the current was doing the killing.
>>138584441
>replying to a shitpost reply
Don't do this please. Theres at least one or two guys who literally have nothing better to do but try to incite some shitposting chain garbage. Let the retards keep posting and just ignore.
I love how every invasion is 3v1
why is broadsword so good, guys????
>>138584201
So instead of sitting behind a shield then waiting for the enemy to stagger you actually have to dodge now?
OH NOOOO
>>138584408
You are fucking talking right out your ass.
The JP meta in nipland was 75 for a reason. SL100 is NG+ 2nd boss teir shit.
You are so fucking wrong it hurts my eyes to read. The FACTUAL AMOUNT OF SOULS YOU EARN DOES NOT GET YOU TO 80 BY DANCER. WHAT THE FUCK.
What platform are you playing on? If you say PC you prove my point. If you farmed that much on PS4 you're a deadshit.
>>138583940
is this guy's entire schtick just being a retarded asshole
>>138584294
Use your equipment to find the address where it stores your armor model IDs.
Use that address to find out every armor model ID.
Use those Model IDs to find where it stores NPC model IDs.
Change the ID of the models those NPCs are using.
Simple stuff.
>>138584456
>The WA is neat
WA is by far the most irrelevant thing about DS3 estoc.
You just don't understand its purpose both for pve or pvp.
>Worse weapon variety
>garbage PvP balance
>iFrames are shit now, agile classes are fucked
>daggers, magic, spears,
>really anything thats not a generic axe, a longsword or broadsword is bottom tier garbage both PvE and PvP
>Summoning is fucked
>game crashes for half of the playerbase constantly
>Magic is the worst it has ever been. Same fucking spells again, completely fucking garbage scaling and damage, requires an extremely well put together gear to perform as good as a naked dude with a +5 longsword
>Boss difficulty is a joke compared to DS2 and 1
>Literally random mobs are three times as hard as "most" bosses
>Fashion is mediocre as fuck
>Buffs are total shit
>Manabar is shit
>PvP is the worst i have ever seen in all Souls games
>Ganks everywhere, everyone runs around with 2+ phantoms
>Enemies have infinite stamina and about 500000 Poise
And the absolute worst, the biggest complaint of DS2: Tracking. DS3 Enemies have Aimbots, its absurd. It almost hardcounters the entire iframe dodge roll mechanics, especially with enemies who have long range attacks and use a better AI then the normal ones.
>>138584578
Most of my invasions where 1v1 today
Boreal, 38ish, +3 weapon
>>138584316
I'm not sure but the two triggers i know are, 5 sigils and entering the catacombs. There's still not much of a wiki atm so meh.
>>138584591
High damage, good scaling, fast moveset.
Its good, but kinda boring. I'm 4 hours in and I'm already getting tired of using it.
>>138584487
So why isn't poise a thing? Hyper-armor yada yada but it seems fucking insane that I can be wearing full havel and a rat gently biting my ankle will stagger me just as much as a giant fuck-off sword that is twice my size smashing into me.
Did they give it literally zero thought? Why does it seem like enemies however get poise or hyper-armor literally the instant they decide to attack? They think it would be unfair to the enemies if players could just lock them down forever?
>>138584647
Thanks.

>>138584190
Pls respond what is this?
>>138583819
>Are dark souls games getting easier, or am I just getting too gud for this shit?
Souls games have been getting MUCH harder with each iteration. The only real exception is BB to DaS3.
Go back and play DeS or DaS and you'll see. Most fights are literally a joke, and the "hard" ones are basically just average by DaS3 standards.
>tfw rootin tootin slinging lightning at your bootings
What the fuck are these enemy designs holy shit, I'm a grown ass man but its 4am and I can't walk around corners in the dark to shit like this.
>>138584396
What's this weird childish assumption that people don't have both? Are we still in the 90s, and all about 10 years old, and we either have a SNES or Mega Drive and have fights in the playground about Mario vs Sonic?
I've got a PS4 and a pretty good PC. I'm playing DaS3 on PC while also having BB on PS4. I'm looking forward to PC games like ToN Torment yet also console games like Uncharted 4 and Dragon Quest XI. Do you think people only play one genre on one platform?
Enemies are ridiculously aggressive and difficult in this game, do the bloodborne bros have it this bad?
>>138584648
Its purpose in DaS2 was to fucking obliterate bosses' anuses with 2HR1 spam and magic ooze.
Now it's just a fucking tickler.
I don't wanna buy DarkSouls 3 when they may re-release the game again with all its dlc.
A friend of mine said he heard from somewhere that they weren't going to do that again. Is that true?
>>138584647
how do you even hallow. I've played through the game 2 times and haven't found out how to do it.

There will be mobile x86 CPUs faster than this thing that run at 2 GHz now a days.
Generally the more expensive the more IPC.
Check for benchmarks.
>>138584654
Stop panic rolling and actually dodge attacks, not dodging windups to attacks.
>>138584738
Enemies just attack when they feel like it. I've had enemies staggered decide to just stop being staggered and fucking unleash a 50 hit combo on me.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, and ladies.
I have come to this general today to tell you that the best build is IN FACT the Herald start DMB blade katana/falchion dex faith build.

From took the enemy speed from Bloodborne and shoved it in here without giving you the mobility that you had in BB. If you could side-step like in BB everything would be so much easier.

>>138584814
I tried using a rapier, pretty sure it's bugged because even a punch has more range than it. Shit is retarded.
>>138584654
Honestly this is more disappointing than 2. Atleast it tried new things and felt unique instead of a watered down Bloodborne with all the garbage it brought like spammy aggressive enemies and mindless spam combat.
Really bummed out at how bad it is. I don't even want to finish it.
>>138584779
Sorta, but in BB you have quicksteps instead of rolls and ranged parries. It made things a lot easier.
That said, I like how aggressive DaSIII enemies are. Makes parrying all the more worthwhile.
>>138584903

I'm playing the PC version now after the JP version on PS4.
PC version is worse. Graphics are actually worse even, I've noticed loads of areas on PC are missing shadows compared to PS4 for some reason. The networking on PC is fucking god awful with disconnects, timeouts and ganks with no animations playing everywhere.
There's a reason it's "free". It's awful.
>>138584565
Did you try GLORIOUS NIPPON STEEL?
I love using Bow for big, slow enemies man. Shit is great for whittling them down. Especially snake faggots.

I am absolutely capable of splurging on a PS4, but to actually do so would be absolutely fucking retarded. Why would I buy a first iteration version of a console? With only a couple AAA titles out? Lo and behold, there's already some 4k version coming out or whatever the fuck.
Anyone want to help me with Aldrich? I'm at the bonfire and have already opened the shortcut, password is dsg

Obviously the people that have both will have played Bloodborne and are not the ones complaining. The point is that PC only players won't have BB under their belt and so won't know the new name of the game when it comes to combat.

I've lost count how many times I've died, those three skeletons are now second nature killing before the boss room.
I'm a thief, should I just straight up be playing something more viable? How do I equip the firebombs in my inventory, I don't see any way that I can equip them into my hotbar, I "used" one out of the inventory and it just threw it at the campfire.

He wanders around on a ledge above the Church in the Undead Settlement. You climb in his cage and he takes you to the area under the Curse-Rotted Greatwood boss fight where you can join the Mound-maker Covenant.
He doesn't show up if you've already killed the Curse-Rotted Greatwood.
