OP, you're an alright guy. Snickey the knight is pleased with you. <3
Linking to this post in-case someone else wants to share their progress.
>>334251619
This is the nameless edition.
When can you get Sharp Gems?
Yo, dude who was asking about if there is anything up in the balista area of Smoulder land. I found Izalith Staff behind two illusion walls near the basilisks
this is on xbone
>>334252078
Anyone find out how to respec yet?
>>334252078
I've beatenAldrich in Anor londobut now I don't know where to go. I got very happy when I found the new area under the catacombs because I thought it would make me progress the main "story/quest".
Can someone tell me where to go afterAnor Londo?
I've been looking around for hours.
Please?
Is the DS2 name filter in place?
>COME TO ME
game is fucking based
>>334252078
where can I get better armor sets and weapons than the ones I have now?
I'm in the catacombs still using the armor set from the beginning just reinforced to 2 and 3
also
Matchmaking ON or OFF?
I don't know if having it ON is affecting my problem finding players or not
>>334252271
Go through the lake area in ishyggy diggy, theres a hole in the wall leading into a shitton of those freak ass spider skeleton things. leads to the dungeon
>>334252262
covenant in the chapel of the deep, you can only do it five times though
>>334252249
Ah, word. Doing a strength run, but I'll probably run back up there just for completions sake.
You kill the old demon king yet? What level are you?
>>334252262
I think someone found it in either the last thread or a few threads back.
>>334252078
Siegfried dissapeared after I took the elevator up and asked the giant for truce. Did I fuck up?
fuck literally all of the Cathedral of the Deep
It Starts Off Bad...And Gets Worse: The Zone
Just finished the tutorial boss, that second phase surprised the fuck out of me. How far into the game until you find a spear? I have a hard on for spears in games, and used the Winged Spear in Dark Souls
>>334252271
I'm assuming you haven't beaten Yhorm.
He's in Profaned Capital. There's a long ladder near the bonfire in Profaned Capital. Take that and then Yhorm is in the building behind a fog gate.
>>334252262
rosaria's fingers
15 hours clocked in so far.
Watchers of the abyss should have been a harder fight. It was cool and all but it felt like Maria 2.0 on the second phase.
Catacombs is next to progress the story right? I already completed the deep chapel. All I got from there is a doll, boss soul and a shitty faith trident for magic sissies
hey look they mentioned us
>>334252407
Drops from enemies in the first zone, The High Wall
>>334252396
Farron Keep was way worse
Cathedral I actually enjoyed
>>334252324
forgot to add I'm on PC
I made a new player and it seems the highest I go(original at 33) the less likely I am to find players or have the unable to summon problem
What encumberance levels change rolling?
Also, does reinforcing staffs affect magic attack power?
>>334252323
That view was the first time I thought "man, this game looks neat". It's a shame all of the other areas just feel so much like the other Souls games.
Although, I bet if I played BB beforehand, that area wouldn't be as impressive.
>>334252323
get to that spot
>fuck, this game is great
get to pic related
>FUCK THIS SHITTY GAME
>>334252407
Before the first real boss there are two knights on a bridge. You can get a spear as a rare drop from one of them.
>>334252407
why didnt you pick Herald then
they start off with one
Just got to the ice land and I have to know what the FUCK were they thinking with this difficulty spike? Those flame fuckers and tall bitches tear my anus apart in seconds.
No other area gave me any trouble at all and then I get here and every thing 2 shots me at best.
>>334252390
I suppose you mean in the ice place. Do you mean the under the whole ice city where you can go in shallow water?
>>334252423
Nope, haven't beaten him and I don't know how to get to the Profaned Capital.
OP here, it's getting late for me. It's been fun making these threads and discussing the game. Hopefully, more people will make comfy threads in the future 'cause it's fun reading other people's stories and seeing how close are far we are from one another. Like a shared adventure or some shit.
Anyway, it's been fun. I gotta head off and be productive.
>>334252446
Yep, Catacomb -> Irithyll of the Boreal Valley
>>334252390
Allow me to just show you my stats.
And yeh. I killed the demon king dude.
I am so mad the blue sentinels amd darkmoon covenants don't work for me, i now have to farm for 28 more concords.
>>334252392
No, you can hear him "hmm..." on the way down from the giant. If you keep a sharp eye you'll notice some rafters you can drop down to from the giant's elevator, you'll find him there.
I had to summon to beat the Farron Keep boss. I feel bad. On the other hand I haven't been to the cathedral of the deep, somehow completely missed it.
>>334252392
Jump off the elevator midway onto a platform. You'll find him there.
>>334252294
yeah I've seen someone with ** in his name, was probably "ho"
>>334252396
I dunno, so far i've been enjoying the Cathedral. So far it's the area that's kept my heart pumping hardest.
>>334252262
Rosaria's Fingers convenant in the Cathedral of the Deep.
>>334252513
kek .. basically how i felt
>>334252597
I saw some guy called thomas donoho and only the first ho was censored.
>get 50 swords and crossbows from those knights in the high wall while trying to get thier fucking bottoms
What the fuck man I didn't even know they drop all this shit
>Arrive at a boss
>No summon signs
>The few that are fail summoning
>Plop down my own sign
>Summoned within milliseconds
I see, I get it.
It's not that you fail summoning because of netcode, but because people are so fucking thirsty for summons that they're already being summoned by someone else.
This is fun.
Why are there so many fucking bonfires in this game?
>>334252504
70%
It's binary. You either fast roll or fat roll now.
>>334252676
Wait those guys drop their armor too?
All I got from them is 2 swords, a shield (pretty good but heavy) and like 8 crossbows
>>334252696
>pontiff boss fight
summon signs were gone within milliseconds.
>>334252532
Profaned capital is through the dungeon. I forget which bonfire it is specifically, but it's in iri whatever, way before the pontiff. It's past all those invisible guys in the dark room, just run through the lake there and hug the wall on the left.
>>334252551
>69
Well no shit I'm getting wrecked. I was level 45 when I beat the pontiff
>>334252676
Well, at least you can sell your surplus for a ez souls.
>>334252532
You get to the profane capital through the spooky jail. You get there through the manor which is accessed by going through a building in that water area of the city after the room with the invis-o-bastards.
>>334252513
>Wearing nothing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MKc9ejlUYs
tl;dw
Even wearing rags provides a huge defense bonus. They designed defense to deliberately fuck over people who run around naked.
>>334252715
And 30%.
I'm up to Pontiff Sullyvahn with a sorcerer using Great Magic Weapon and a raw Lothric Knight sword (along with Soul Spear and the like).
I've also started a second character, starting as a knight and going to turn it into a quality build.
So far, all I have to say is that holy shit being a caster is fucking hard mode. All the buffs you need to make sorceries not suck dick consume all of your ring slots, force you to carry a decent quantity of ashen estus and hence have even less HP. Sorceries also have a tendency to miss, and there are plenty of enemies that specifically fuck up casters (invisible until you approach them casters in Irithyll, Dungeon Wardens with their HP lamps, etc).
>>334252707
you'll be sucking hollow dick for bonfires pretty shortly
>>334252640
I didn't change my opinion cause i thought those ivory straight sword dudes were sweet, even if fucking insane, until I ran into those fucking goddamn bullshitass pyromancers. why would you put them with the ivory straight sword fucks holy shit
>>334252078
Are filters in place? Does my name "Wiggle Tits" show up?
Do I have to kill the slug thing to use the bonfire next to Rosaria?
>>334252782
This is an understatement.
What Miyazaki did to magic in this game makes it VERY clear what his stance is on it. Magic-centric builds are a hair's breadth from being non-viable.
>mfw fighting Champion Gundry for the second time
I hope From does recently concentrated games with a tight theme.
The "dark medieval gothic fantasy" mish mash was good for a game or two, but it is gotten a little old, especially when they recycle the same lore over and over.
>>334252883
Good. Long range combat has no real place in a Souls game, and the people who rely on it are shitters.
>>334252876
Yes. Everyone is seeing you as "Wiggle ****"
>>334252782
I bet it levels out around there, but early game i can imagine it's fucking impossible with the <6 estus, unless spells only take a few FP
>>334252469
>>334252517
Cool, thanks anons
>>334252519
I don't really know much about Dark Souls and didn't even bother with picking any other class than the standard knight or whatever. I bumbled through the first game and still don't really understand much other than the basics
>>334252780
I doubt it actually makes a big difference. I've been using armor and even common enemies still do stupidly high damage. I've been pumping vigor too but 3 hits is still almost always a death sentence.
>>334252078
Deleted 10 hours of data on a whim because I realized I missed out on the Mound-Makers covenant.
Did. Not. Regret.
Funnest shit in the game.

nothing personnel, kid
>>334252780
trust me. i was wearing plenty of shit before that. the ability to dodge easily and NOT get hit was MUCH more beneficial than having armor.
especially when the enemy constantly swings at you unless you stun lock it.
>>334252912
Yup, the combination of 3-game old ambiguous lore + the same dark fantasy look is hurting DS3's chances of remaining distinct from the previous games.
Now I understand why Miyazaki is done with Souls. As brilliant as it is, it has indeed gotten stale.
What level should I be in the Boreal Valley? I want to try to blue fag but literally nothing is happening and the enemies are 2strong4me.
I'm currently level 51 with a whopping15vigour.
>>334252729
Yeah they drop their armor, I finally got the bottoms but the whole set is way too heavy from me to use. I'm just gonna use the shield for now
>>334252736
I beat pontiff when i was 40 something. This character is on Dragon Armor atm but im going through every area to find everything for fashion souls.
Should I wait for the complete edition?
Still in the crab forest using the untrue white ring, fooling people into thinking im an ally and then backstabbing them. Way too much fun. My only regret is there's no insta message sending like there is on consoles so i can get angry people yelling at me for fooling them with a white spectre and how white spectres are meant to be only friendly or that i'm hacking.
Any of you been to where the aldritch covenant is?
That room is fucking horrible, is there any item that lets enemies attack each other like in bloodborne?
>>334252921
But there's tons of sorceries that are melee-range as well. You could make a character who specialised in the various different weapon-like/quick spells like Flashsword, and they'd just end up as straight inferior to someone who didn't even level up and just used a raw weapon.

>>334253042
The two giant wolves are in that room are harder than 90% of the bosses in the game.
Fucking SAVAGE. That said, they're guarding a covenant and a ring of protection.

5 free levels and a merchant
>>334253000
I assume you didn't watch the video to say something like that, but when you're wearing nothing as opposed to, say, the Master's attire, you are taking 30%+ more damage for no benefit. You are not rolling any better by not wearing them.
>>334253001
What's worse is that Dark Souls 2 had a ton of filler content, but Dark Souls 3 is just sort of lacking, even if the content is decent. I feel like there could have been 2 or 3 more areas before DLC at least. The world design also leaves a lot to be desired, even if it did give us nice vistas that somewhat made sense.
I am glad that the Souls series has ended. I'd much rather get new, fresh games like BB even if they have flaws them have the same sort of stuff pumped out over and over again.
>>334253125
a few levels and your character becoming a disgusting zombie
Where are the designated high level pvp areas?
>>334253174
no way to get that back huh?
So how good are the effects of flynn's ring ("lowering equip load increases attack")?
>>334253116
I wanted to solo this game, and I did up until that point. It's just fucking stupid by yourself, even if you manage to lure one.
What is the dark sigil? Why does it need to be healed? What does healing it do? Why is it so god damned expensive?
I really wanted to try a build besides just tanky knight build but DS3 really forces you into it. Every enemy is so aggresive and does a lot of damage.
>>334253220
Fucking this. I stupidly claimed it half an hour ago now I'm hollow as shit. Gonna take me hours to fix this.
So it seems like I'm only going to be able to max a boss weapon or two in a play through, is the Profaned Greatsword worth it? Seems swag as fuck, but I don't want to blow my load if there is something else even cooler coming up
>>334253125
5 free levels
An NPC that you can summon for the final boss fight, buy unique spells from, and learn a gesture.
>>334252390
Ding ding ding, anon. Found a sword you might be interested in.
The Black Knight Sword.
It's behind an illusionary wall in the room with two of those demon guys who pull fire out of their stomachs.
>>334253212
It's good if you're going all out glass cannon. ie no armor, no shield, just a sword or something.
>>334253258
Everytime you die with Dark Sigils in your inventory you gain hollowing points based on how many you have. (If you have 1 you get 1 point of hollow. if you have 2 you get 2 points of hollowing. So on and so forth.). You get the sigils when you level up for free at Yoel or w/e his name is. Turtle man is what I call him.

>>334253281
Really? I went with the opposite. Doesn't seem like armor really adds fuckall for mitigation, so I just went as light as possible so I could flip out like a retard because any enemy is going to do 3/4 of your health regardless
>>334253343
So I was maxed out hollowed, but I still saw the odd summon sign. I thought it was supposed to disable that?
>>334253374
Can you uppercut niggas off the ground?
>>334253249
Yup, some parts of the game are blatant summon-bait. That area is super popular for that room alone. The damage they do with one bite
is absurd.
>>334252676
I got gaunlets from them and it was worse than starting knight gauntlets, would the rest of the armour set not be similar?

Thanks for the advice in the previous thread. I'm gonna go balls out on that fucker the moment he spawns.
>>334253343
Sweet, thanks anon. I'll check it out in the morning. Have you found a stone ring anywhere? I really want to use these demon fists but goddamn they don't do nearly enough poise damage, and you get locked into that l1 combo
>>334253039
Gonna make it a point to hack every white specter now
>>334253404
You can uppercut, but not off the ground.
Be careful if you want to main caestus, though.
The range is abysmal, it doesn't really stunlock that well and you can never ever trade in a fight.
The knight with a blue cape before the first boss does he drop any good stuff?
So what's up with your appearance in this one?
You look human when you aren't embered or whatever and look human when you have ember, then sometimes you look like a hollow when you have the ember.
Oh and you hair color changes randomly. I picked white at the beginning of the game but the game said fuck you and gave me black hair instead. Now it's red.
>>334253418
No, but it's how you get the third ending and complete Anri's story.
Where's a good place to hang out so that I'll invade people as a Darkmoon Blade?
>>334253343
So is there any advantage to having these dark sigils in my inventory? Can I just discard them and go back to hollowing slowly?
>>334253379
It's based off percentages now, so yeah, armor can make a pretty difference. But I was moreso referring to having an HP that goes across the screen, which everyone and their mother who's breezing through the game seems to have.
>>334253459
Generic knight drops and maybe a gem
>>334253281
Armor and Shields seem to do jack shit.
Enemies are so aggressive they will empty your stamina in their insane berserk attacking sprees if you block.
The difference between getting wailed on by Corvian Hollows whether you have armor or not? Zilch.
>Mound Maker
I can imagine you'll get set up to ganksquads a lot but this is just the best shit ever
Oh, look.
At cathedral of deep, what do I do to stop the persistent bleed buildup?
>>334253460
Undead Curse and kindled are two separate things now.
>>334253473
Somewhere you get invaded as soon as you go ember.
Enjoy waiting 20 hours for a single summon though.
>>334253460
>He picked the 'free' levels.
Heh heh..
Good goiym..
>>334253286
>>334253220
You can just buy a purging stone to reverse jerky
>>334253516
Upgrade your shields. It ups their stability stat. More stability decreases stamina reduction.
>>334253442
I have. The guy who drops the Fume Knight Ultra Greatsword drops a ring called "Knight Slayer Ring". If I read it correctly it functions the same as the stone ring. I'm also quite certain that I've combed through this place completely, except for crab land which I'm just gonna sprint through and try not to die and pick up anything I see. Will report progress.
>>334253475
Not that I know of. And you can't discard them I don't think. You gotta heal them to get rid of em.
>>334253298
Wait until you've killed all the bosses before you pump upgrades into a boss weapon. Most boss weapons in this game are crap.
>>334253524

So do I need tothat velka statue and request curse break?
>>334253550
I felt like there was something sketchy about free stuff but I wanted to see what happens.
>>334253460
It's blood
You hollowed because you accepted the free level and got dark vigil.
>>334253574
pull them off?
>>334253520
What am I looking at?
>>334252513
"its a waiting game"
these dudes have literaly endless stamina.
>>334253460
You look like a hollow because you got those free :^ ) levels from yondel(?), the rest is mainly due to getting bathed in the blood/ash of those you kill.RIP AND TEAR
>>334253408
Like I could even handle two if it wasn't a fuckhuge open room for them to move around in. Those two pillars they give you for cover aren't nearly fucking enough. You can't even cheese them with arrows from the top of the ladder cause they just walk off.
I have a feeling a lot of this game is going to get nerfed into the ground, that area especially.
>>334253374
>tfw I did a kick me sign hard mode run but couldn't beat a single boss with them in ds3
I want to do that but its so goddamn frustrating this time around. Enemies just attack through your shit like you're slapping them, you have no range, shitty weapon skill till demon fists, i just cant make it work.
Haven't bought it yet.
Is the netcode still bad?
>tfw you have 100+ point of Hollowing
Will I ever afford to heal my Sigil
>>334253574
I'd try putting my dick in them. But the game won't let me do that. So I'm out of ideas.
>>334253286
Why do you need to fix it?
>Butcher knife is the best STR weapon
>It looks like ass with all armors
>>334253183
i watched the video and sure if i saw that it before i went through that area i would have slapped on some light armor but at some point it's just semantics.
but still, those enemies are relentless and you get tapped once, you get stun-locked easily, or you run out of stamina avoiding them. nothing about what made that area hard had anything to do with my armor.
it was easier for me to just take my shit off. dodge their attacks and not get hit at all, and hit them with my claymore over and over.
the area wasn't hard because of the damage i was taking, but because the design of the enemies. they have range. they have an absurd number of very fast attacks and some attacks that have more range than usual or the wind up is tricky. fighting more than one is a death sentence and even blocking with a shield was useless as they would just wail on you until you guard break.
>>334253628

>Instead of just rolling besides the mob and attacking for sweet sweet counter damage.
Like these guys:
>>334252513
>>334253629
If I can hit them perfectly fine with my slow little fists, so can you with whatever you have.
>>334253563
you get a speckled ring that adds a little to all defense if you let the ballista knock a wall down over there.
not really anything else over there besides a fuckwack of crabs.
What does hollowing even do? Why would you not take the free levels?
>>334253643
No anon, you will forever be hollow and never return to your glorious unkindled form. I had to cut that shit off at 34k when I got scared I'd never be able to afford to change back.

>>334253482
True. I'm doing alright with 20 though usually. You get so many estus by this point in the game it's usually not an issue cause you're either alive or dead, you know? Seems like a waste of points to stay ahead of the damage curve cause they just do so goddamn much.
>>334253569
Where is the torch anyway?
>>334253718
Just get gud with a high as fuk strength. I can handle pretty much 80% of the players online, possibly more. You just have to be patient rocking a heavy weapon.
I've got loads of kills use the great axe.
>>334253743
Im hollow level 99 and I can still co-op fine.
>>334253589
Yup. Yoel is a huge faggot.
Stance weapon skills are cool
>>334253741
I wish Anri's story was more developed, it's sad that you can only really get 2 endings with how many decisions you can make.
>>334253701
Oh. In that case fuck that shit. I don't need defense. I don't get hit. :^)
Also, how do I get to the consumed king area? No spoilers. Just tell me where at the High Wall of Lothric I gotta go to in order to get to that area, please.
>>334253784
Did you even play the game?
>>334253649
>he isn't using a heavy drang hammer
this shit is fucking ridiculous. does slightly less (like 10) per swing than the meat cleaver, but takes like half the stamina and you attack twice as often for about as much poise damage.

>>334253635
Oh, you mean the pillars they blatantly clip through with their giant mouths?
And yeah, I think the game feels really rough and unfinished/tested.
Is the Deacon fight bugged?
Twice I've summoned phantoms, and twice they've either been unable to or deigned not to follow me inside.
>>334253718
I'm using the exile greatsword, it's fucking good.
You'll need 24 strength though so you'll be semi-quality
just beat the second boss. im pretty bad at these games but i give it my best.
honestly though, ive had more trouble with the standark Lothric Knights than anything else so far. the first two bosses werent nearly as hard as those fuckers. their swords reach super far and stagger. getting into a fight with one is pretty much suicide for me.
has anyone else had as much trouble with them as me?
>>334252781
Difference between 30% and 70% is just how far the roll takes you, it's identical in every other respect. The distance isn't even enough to matter, it's like 2 extra feet.
>>334253907
It's a bug. Sometimes people can't get through the boss door, but they still appear to be in the fight, in the sense that they can hit things that get close enough to the door and the boss will also aggro on them
Red phantoms can also invade worlds where the host already engaged a boss
>>334253865
>>>She gets killed by Horace
>>You help her kill Aldritch and then she goes nuts/hollows
Eh, these are practically the same in my book, they're just dead ends.
I killed Sirris because she bitched me out for joining the rebirth covenant. Yuria is the only choice, even if it makes me feel bad because it's like I'm a fucking edgelord.

Dark Souls 3: Prepare to Get Ganked Edition
I love all the faggy invaders getting mad about getting ganked. They are just mad that they can't invade some noob and murder him with a maxed out weapon.
I love invading in this game. Almost every time I invade it is 2 or 3 on one. The thing is, they group up because they suck. I still have good success invading by picking them off one at a time. If they just huddle by the bonfire, I assume they don't wanna play so I just BC outta there.

Or those freak guys from farron in izalith casting poison through twelve feet of solid bedrock
I need a demon soul for that sweet axe, what area has a demon that I can sweetalk out of their soul?
I already killed the fiersy taurus demon with Ziegward
Before this area everything was so easy and looked so bleak and dull, then everything changed.
Praise the moon.
>>334253925
They're lame. However I found out how to kill em easy. Using a fast weapon with some poise break. Like a battle axe. Just let them lower their guard then R1 spam till no stamina, then back off and wait for stamina, then repeat. AFter you learn that they're ezpz
>>334253880

Only at first. The first 2 knights absolutely raped me but then I just guard broke with my weapon arts and killed them in 3-4 hits.

You drown in shards, and later you can even buy them. Use them as soon as possible to get your favorite weapon to +3.

Is it an idiot move that I want to engage and attack? Should I just hang back and bait out and punish their moves/rolls? Not to mention sometimes someone will just throw out a move and I'll take dama.ge
>>334253993
Oh god the crabs. The first time they grabbed me from 20 feet away, I burst out laughing. Holy fuck the BS range on some shit in this game.
Yeah, that poison cloud thing is a good example. It's almost cartoonish how much range their Poison Mist has.
I'm at the catacombs and I have a +4 weapon
Is that good enough for this point in the game or did I miss some upgrade materials?
>>334254080
>old demon king

Just got done with Irithyll and did a test run of Aldritch. Jesus christ Irithyll was good. The environment itself was gorgeous, the enemies were really tough but entertaining to fight, there were some fantastic spooky moments with the invisible guys in the darkness/the spider things in the water and the boss fight was excellent. By far the best one so far, although I feel like I cheesed him by staying close to him. That way his attacks are a bit too easy to dodge. Anor Londo's looking as empty and lazily designed as usual, but it fits here since it's a nice quiet break from such an intense and fun area.
>>334254056
Pretty sure it becomes E/A at +10 and a Sharp gem. D/B without the gem
You can try just two handing it if you're unwilling to get to 24 strength
I just started the game.
Where do I get a GIANT strength weapon as soon as possible?
>>334252078
Just started Pontif grind. Mine won't stop swinging. Does he ever pause for even a second or was it a bug?
>>334254141
You'll get large titanite shards in the next area.
It's hard to tell if the level design is really good or just a bit too linear
It doesn't feel like you have as wide an area to go around or that there are many secret parts which let you sequence break, but at the same time I think it has the most fair traps where I haven't felt any part is pure bullshit. The enemy placement has been good as well and the only time I felt things got out of control is when I didn't deal with a set up well.
I think DS3 might be a better game than the other two but it hasn't drawn me in the same way
>>334253873
right?
fuck those lothric knights. god dam.
basically doing what this anon>>334254002

Watch how they play. I just an hero if it looks like they'll win. Just had an epic 10 minute battle, ran out of estus so I sprinted off and sacrificed myself to a crab right in front of the invading prick.

I mean the hit boxes honestly seem fairly good, it's just the collision detection for monsters is basically nonexistent. And their attack speed is fucking ridiculous. Those unarmed freak guys grab attack comes out in less than a second if they do it while running, its insane.
>>334254141
that's about where youre going to be unless you got lucky with crystal lizards. You're going to be drowning in large shards ten minutes into the next area, so don't worry about it.
So if I give souls to the statue of velka, does she actually remove a darksign, or just the visual effects?
>>334254229
>literally doing the "you didn't win"
but why?
>>334254171
Not a bug, Sulyvahn is just a blender for 95% of his boss battle. He punishes greed and panic rolling very hard. His purple sword's thrusts are lightning quick, if you hug him, he'll almost certainly nick you with it.

>>334254207
Nah, the gimmick was kinda stupid and a waste of time. The second phase is too easy to stunlock and has too little health. Pontiff felt much more consistent and the dodge timings made it really entertaining to fight him, felt like a dance.
>>334254057
Is it worth investing them in the broadsword?
Just got to second bonfire in the undead village so what's best to pick up right now?
>>334254297
Yes, anon. It is. Broadsword is a good early game weapon. However I'd save them for either the Butcher Knife or the Brigand Axe.
>>334254290
>dodge timings made it really entertaining
Yeah except for the time he wouldn't stop swinging and I ran out of stamina
>>334254180
You're probably fatigued with the formula, no matter how well it's being executed.
>>334254283
Gotta go through the next area and kill a boss therein to get the item that lets you make boss soul items first. Then talk to the little guy on one of thrones in firelink.
>>334254297
Broadsword is better than 95% of the weapons, so yes.

I try and keep my spacing so i don't get stuck on his legs but holy fuck this guy is a piece of shit. Roll roll roll hit roll x10 hit roll get hit by ground flame shockwave cause it comes out in like a second so you don't have time to tell where it's going to dodge it
Unless i'm doing something completely wrong here. Plus it's all fire damage from a fucking greathammer so you can't block shit, so you take mondo chip damage

That's what happens when you don't back away when he's getting ready for that ridiculous combo of his.
Is it just me or the game is incredibly imbalanced? Bosses are piss easy yet enemies can kill me in 2 hits at 35 VIG. I've only died to Wolnir because of his bullshit mist so far and I'm at Archdragon Peak.
Yo, does ANYBODY know how to get to the Consumed King's garden area? I'm really busting my balls trying to find it and would like some guidance.

I should be worried. There's too many essential stats and not enough souls.
It's not worth raising luck any higher, right?
... Is the moonlight sword good in this game? Please say no so I don't turn into a mage knight.
>>334254356
just cheese him
stay out far until he does the spit attack, then run in on his right side and hit him. Back off again when he wants to punch you
repeat until win
Is this the best souls game
Game just arrived in the mail today, so I'm a little late to the party, but I'm quite enjoying it so far. Just got to the bridge in the Undead Settlement and died a few times to the Greatwood boss. Haven't found any illusory walls yet though, despite finding a few messages left indicating them. I guess they were troll messages?
Also, where do I find the Zweihander?
>HIGH LORD WOLNIR
JESUS CHRIST SPOOKY
>>334254351
>>334254297

>Butcher Knife or the Brigand Axe.
where do I get these?
Best place/method to farm souls?
Never played a souls game before.
Should I start with Dark Souls or skip to 3?
>>334254431
What basic enemy is killing you in two hits?
>>334254471
Gameplay wise I'd say yes.
Souls game wise, fuck no. Dark Soul 1 is still the true souls experience. Had better atmosphere, story, moments, etc. Nothing will ever beat Dark Souls 1 imo.
>>334254431
It's an inversion of previous games. The bosses are easy, the mob groups and situations are dangerous.
The giant wolves and cunts with the flame lanterns are scarier than most of the bosses in the game.
>>334254490

I see everyone is putting their 5 cracked red eye orbs to use in the poorest ways.
if only this game wasn't dark souls and had its own lore and weapons
it would have been amazing
it feels too rehashy right now and i'm praying the DLC does something unique
>>334254448
You done fucked up leveling luck but the others are alright.
>>334252780
which makes dragon form so much shittier than dark souls 2
>>334254497
Don't skip to 3. It's made for people who played the first game, both when it comes to the gameplay/difficulty and story.
>>334254532
you can get the orb real fast
>>334254448
Luck is a worthless stat. Its only purpose is increasing your resistances and making weapon/armor farming easier.

3 honestly. i think 3 also comes with a free download of 1.
i got a free download of 1 anyways.
>>334254448
The MLGS is in the game.
E/E/E scaling, and Int and Faith are currently broken ATM. It's also very slow.
Is Lucerne worth a shit? I'm looking for something with good range and a sweeping move to deal with being overrun. It is the best I have right now but don't waste time and resources if something better is coming soon. Opinions?

The Deep Battleaxe that the dragon and mimic are guarding on the High Wall is a really fucking great early-game weapon.
Not so great against that abyssal snake-man thing shortly after acquiring it, but that's what the firebombs are for.
>>334254690
Even when going in, he's pretty easy. The only obnoxious move he has is the boomerang circle
>>334254536
This is what happens when creativity takes a backseat to fanservice and pandering. Archdragon Peak is a nice preview of we could've had if the game stood alone as its own thing.
If I wear the Blue Sentinel covenant in say Farron Keep, do I only get summoned to defend bluebabbies in Farron Keep?
>>334254497
First off, that fucking guy holy shit he's either incredibly brave or incredibly suicidal. LIKE HE FUCKING SLAPPED A SNAKE IN THE FUCKING HEAD!? I'm too afraid to kill a spider without wrapping my hand in tissue paper and then killing with WITH A ROLLED UP MAGAZINE, this fucker slaps snakes.
Also, Dark Souls 1 and Dark Souls 3 are so different gameplay wise. However play the first one first because there are a lot of things in Dark Souls 3 that reference Dark Souls 1. Hell, i'd also recommend playing the second game before the third as well.
>>334254170
Slow weapons are shit in this game. Incredibly easy to parry in PvP. Bosses are so aggressive you do not get the opportunity to strike and get away unharmed. You will not stagger them.
>>334254706
messages, probably. If it's the same as the other ones someone rating your message gives you an estus
it's why you used to see those "I'm in trouble please recommend" ones
>>334254720
Killing enough enemies will give you 1 estus back

I've found that in this game I'm much more comfortable not having a shield then I was in Dark Souls and 2, Most of the time I just have out my staff. Must be from playing Bloodborne.
At least with my new hood I feel much more like a magic assassin guy.
Now I just need to get some magic that I can use along with my Estoc and isn't soul arrows.

I raised my luck a bit and it triggers more.
It's definitely a lucky thing.
>>334254813
Both are really good, but now is the best time to play DS3 while everything's still new and you can get instant summon/invasions
>>334254872
how do magic runs usually go? do you use soul arrows all the way to the boss, or melee and save mana for bosses?
my 2nd character is gonna be sorc

DS3 is a soulless DS1 fanservice game with cancer zones and bosses. How can people still believe 2 was worse
Is it possible to invade an area where I've already beaten the boss?

>>334254814
Ariels, please. You'll be happy to be able to wear that armor you want without fat rolling.
>>334254834
that's cause they reused assets from bloodborne and animations
>>334254652
Been using the Lucerne for awhile.
I even infused it with a refined gem, damage is pretty good and i like the moveset.

>games fun

What is it with swamps that they are always the shittiest part in a game?
>>334254497
Just get 3 I suppose. The first area is filled with easy as fuck enemies. You'll get the hang of the game soon enough. I played a bit of demons souls and about maybe half of dark souls 2. Been playing these passed two days and it's definitely not bad.
In terms of story, I honestly don't know what the fuck these games were about. In 2, I started off just trying to get my body back. Every time you die, your health gets halved each time until you get your body back. In 3 I died only once and there was no penalty besides losing souls. My health stayed the same. This game is much easier than demons souls and dark souls 2 so far.
If I'm wrong, I hope someone can correct me and give me some information.
Why the fuck cant I invade anyone? GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.
I just played for an hour and all I get is "searching" I see other play ghosts doing shit so im obviously connected and there are players in the area so WHY WONT YOU FUCKING WORK?
At least they upgraded it and made it so you dont have to keep trying every other minute.
>>334254943
As someone who's been playing Dark Souls 1 since it's release, Dark Souls 3 really fucking hit me in the nostalgia. Seeing so many familar things made me fucking squee. That's why I like it.

Outside of the Bell mace's dark magic attack in DaS2, this is literally the first time I've used magic in these games. I'm not all that impressed, but if I make a magic character I tend to make them the "battlemage" of sorts, fast casting spells that work well up close.
>>334254814
I just did the same thing. Fuck me.
>>334255019
"Sewer" levels are designed to be shit by nature.

My Yhorm great machete has 630 AR. I'm killing shit in 1-2 hits
>>334254859
Late in the game. Here's how to get to it.
High Wall of Lothric -> Oceiros' Garden -> Kill Oceiros -> In the room behind the boss area there's a meditate emote -> grab the treasure beyond that -> Smack the wall behind the treasure to reach the Untended Graves area.
The item you want is in the shrine at the end of this area. Warning: There is a boss in your way.
>>334254652
Once you get the swing times down, Lucerne is godly, especially now that it's back to thrust damage instead of that blunt shit it was in DaS2.
>>334255064
I like my profaned greatsword, but I feel like bosses in this game are faster than in the past, which encourages a fast weapon
almost like bloodborne
>>334254994
I've been using the longsword since the beginning. I love it. Chose fire gem as my gift and put it on there right off the bat. Why would I ever want to use anything else?

>>334254980
honestly its just bloodbourne with shields. which isnt necessarily a bad thing i guess?
if anything can be said for dark souls 2 its that at least i felt like i was in a medieval setting and going on an adventure.
dark souls 3 has a lot of the gothic tones from bloodbourne.
>>334254994
Faster weapons stagger and can get damage in during the short times most enemies have between attacks. The game is very unkind to slow weapons.
I beat it
>>334255226
Reminded me of the God Hand because of the fat blue guys
>>334255154

Miyazaki glared at Dark Souls 2's congregation and said "THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT." and made his own.
Miyazaki doesn't really plan around difficulty, he sets up atmosphere and uniqueness first and foremost.
>>334255197
There's an entire area you missed, anon. Along with two bosses.
>>334255258
I mean, id like to use a heavy ugs but bosses spam attacks a lot so it can be hard to find an opening
but with a longsword, you can roll + 1-2 hits, roll again, etc. with a heavy weapon you attack once, and barely have enough stamina to roll once after that.
What is Morion Blade moveset? Is it slower than a regular longsword?
>>334255163
The Yhorm machete is pretty fast and it staggers almost everything with 1 hit, that's why I like it.
I tried a bunch of weapons and it's the only one that made me drop my longsword so far. I just got the Black Knight Greataxe and the moveset seems pretty good too, gonna upgrade it to see how much damage it does.
>>334255314
but where
>>334255194
It is at +6 if i remember correctly, i'm not at home so i can't check the base damage, sorry anon.
>Great scythe isn't held and swung like in Bloodborne.
They had the perfect scythe moveset and they just throw it away...
>>334255301
man Miyazaki could do no wrong!!!
Why is all the armour is this game shit so far? Best I found was the Fallen Knight set Fashion Souls is going to be a bummer I can't even find any good barbarian armour. Is there really nothing on the level of the Executioner set from 2?
Anyone else get reamed by the Nameless King?
Took me like five tries to beat him before I learned to be patient in my rolls
Brass set, broad sword, silver knight shield master racealthough the shield of want looks promising, its stability is 58 while my maxed out silver knight shield is 62 or something

I think the AI got gud.
man what the fuck
i spent 20k souls for this
Is this a bad dark souls to start as your first game.
Where do I get the dickwraith armor?
>>334255362
I'm not saying he's perfect, I'm saying he puts those qualities before difficulty, and the difficulty is usually just a result. He didn't plan on Demon's Souls being "so hard", it just kinda turned out to be harder than the average modern videogame.
Calm down.
>>334255292
That's mostly because they changed it's damage type to Slash instead of Thrust, and they lowered it's damage to make it weaker than the Halbard instead of being comparable.
In other words they made it SHIT.
Still didn't stop me from using it though.
>>334255431
from dickwraiths.
>>334255421
yes
its better to start in king's field
>>334253574
Tickling them. No, seriously.
How do you guys fight off the knife throwing skeleton ninja easily in the catacomb? I lost tons of sunny D whenever I see one.
>>334255251
Correction, it's Bloodborne in terms of:
Combat speed (closer to BB)
Enemy damage (closer to BB)
Enemy aggression (closer to BB)
but with
Shields (which were not designed for the ceaseless aggression)
Stamina usage far too high for the amount of rolling the game expects you to do
Quicksteps, Rolls, and i-frames developed for such combat situations.
>>334255472
they never drop shit though
>>334253642
please respond
ayy nice view :^)
>>334255405
rocking the shield of want myself. It has skill as it's... skill, plus a small covetous effect and good elemental stats.
plus it looks sweet and only weighs 6.5 i think
>>334255409

I just kicked her off the cliff and came back for her drops after that

Farm them near abyss watcher bonfire.
What am I supposed to use alluring skulls for?
l-lewd
Should a pure strength/melee character infuse weapon with heavy or raw or just do the normal upgrade path? Im using broadsword and warpick
>>334255315
Yup, that's basically the crux of the matter. Longswords (and other fast weapons) fit the overall dynamic of the game better.
>>334255508
I got dark wraith gauntlet from the dark wraith outside of the undead legion boss room if that helps
>>334255526
wrong pic lel
>>334255502
It has it's faults, I'm enjoying it so far but it's certainly trying to do two things at once.
The first thing that told me this was gunna be a bumpy ride is the knights in high wall of lothric that spam the shield bash if you so much as go anywhere near their left arm.
>>334255526
>hey bro, you wanna get high?
>>334255540
drop one in the nest on top of the shrine
>>334255502
But rolling costs like 0 fucking stamina, and I've noticed that people don't really know how to use shields.
You wanna tank hits? Use a fucking greatshield you GOD DAMN MONG, medium shields can block light/singular attacks but not strings or huge windup shit. Even worse for bucklers etc, but they get the ability to parry.
Are there any other item find items than the mimic hat and coins?
>>334255435
>He didn't plan on Demon's Souls being "so hard"
Is that why he described himself as a masochist in interviews because he likes difficult games? God you Soulsfags are the worst.
>>334255540
Give one to fippity fop or whatever that crow's name is.
Can also use them to lure some enemies away from their patrol spots
>>334254167
Oh right, I'm retarded, thanks Anon, I haven't equipped a shield in all the game now that I think about twohanding things.
>>334255590
how dare you defile the pure waifu
>>334255550
I wnat Fire Keeper to have an affair with me
>>334255554
depends on the weapon but heavy will outpace raw pretty quickly most of the time
>>334255550
where do you get the armor of the embraced?
>>334255396
The Sirris set is amazing, so is the firekeeper one. Late in game you can get cool shit like the Faraam set, the Alva set and the Drakeblood set.
>>334255609
sage crystal's rapier
im really liking the item boost from it
hope you didnt eat her soul
>>334255607
I still rock a shield but I only basically use it for parrying, or alternatively when I missed my roll and I'm gonna eat a huge single hit to the face.
>>334255345
Now for the next two of the five optional bosses in Dark Souls 3. Since most of them can only be done late in the game, we've saved all of these to do together just before the final stretch. First, let's head to the Consumed King's Garden, since you'll need to complete it to access the next area, the Untended Graves.
From the Boreal Dancer bonfire, climb the ladder and turn left. Head up the stairs and down the other side, and tackle the knight at the end of the walkway before heading down in the elevator.
The water in the area outside is poisoned, so quickly make for dry land to face what looks like a mini version of Iudex Gundyr's corrupted form. Dodge-roll to avoid its attacks but be careful to stay out of the water, as a combination of its poison attacks and the water can make the fight tricky.
Climb the stairs to the circular stone area and deal with the knight, and then head down the steps to the right and into the building ahead.
Take the elevator up and head forwards into another building and work your way up - there are a couple of imps and priests here guarding a door on the upper platform. Opening the door creates a shortcut back to the Boreal Dancer bonfire, so drop down if you need to heal and then double back.
After getting off the elevator turn right towards the large building and head up the steps. Drop down into the area below and either kill or avoid the two knights and head towards a fog gate to find the second optional boss.
>>334255690
Nah, I never eat boss souls.
Do I still get the bonus if i offhand it with my real weapon in right hand?
>>334252981
You could have got it later.
Finishing up the area, and I get invaded. Just sat down and walked away for a few minutes.
>>334255665
Find the FaP ring in Anor Londo and the maid will sell it.
>>334255360
They didn't throw it away.
Dark Souls and Bloodborne aren't the same series.
DS3 is just using DS1 movesets for weapons.
>>334252078
>every encounter is a ganksquad
>now they're adding archers/mages shooting you down from an upper safe space while you take on the ganksquads
It's like they took everything that was bad about dark souls 2, multiplied it by 5 and sold the result.
>>334255716
>Boreal Dancer bonfire
u wot m8
>>334255665
I bought it from the old woman in firelink shrine, but I forgot what's the corresponding ash
I'm 6 hours in and so far my greatest complaint is that they try REALLY hard to make Firelink seem like it's the Nexus, but it totally falls flat on its face. In the Nexus I felt that the world was really, absolutely, irreparably FUCKED, in DaS3 it just feels like "business as usual" - especially after you talk to the guy in the throne that casually says "yep, I linked the fire too". Even fucking DaS2 felt better in that specific regard.
>>334255747
i dont know
probably
i remember it still giving me the bonus even though i didnt meet the str requirements
i guess it simply needs to be active
>>334255357
Thanks for the input. Think I will go with lucerne now
What are you fellow quality build bros using for an infusion?
>>334255823
Majula was comfy as fuck
I'm having a hard time navigating this new firelink shrine even 19 hours in

>>334255779
Too much multitasking for your poor brain to handle?
>mfwLothric Castlefor the first time
Fuck this area. Fuckass knights with infinite poise everywhere. Love the look of it though.
General question: Am I a piece of shit if I invade as a Red inAnor Londo?
>>334255591
Not saying it's bad, just some observations.
can anyone let me know roughly how far into the game you get the faraam lion knights armor? thats all i really wanted to do in dark souls 2 and honestly thats all i want to do in this game to.
quarter? half? almost towards the end? just wondering so i know when to start looking for it.
>>334255805
Beat Gwyndolin in anor londo and you'll get teleported to that bonfire.
Is Belmont build viable
So this game is worthless. Sats are meaningless distracts to make you think you are progressing. Icheatedbecause this game felt so wrong to me. Even with max stats basic enemy's still kill you in 3 good hits. You still do fuck all for damage against everything.
The only area that is actually balanced correctly is pvp. Player on player contact all feels right and stats actually matter. Because of this its obvious they just went through the game and edited everything to be fucking over powered.
So once again. Fuck this game I'm going back to Dark Souls 1.

>>334255805
Damn, you are completely lost. Basically, go up the ladder in front of where you fought the Dancer (where the old lady Emma was).
>>334255972
Where do you use the key?
Can anyone else invade? What are the rules this time around? Because im in the castle at level 15 and I cant invade shit.
>>334252078
HOLY FUCK THAT ABYSS WATCHERS FIGHT WAS COOL AS SHIT
how many times did it take other people to beat them?
only took me 3 tries but I keep reading that they are hard
>>334255932
How are you so bad at the game
my basic as shit broadsword was 2 to 3 shotting almost every common enemy I came across as long as I kept it upgraded. Now at +10 it's even better.
I just don't get it.
>>334254984
Not to me, I ended up discovering several new areas, hitting walls of effort and then trying new places instead. 10/10 for me
Does anyone know where to find more refined gems? I've found one all game and blew it on my Longsword but now I want to try a refined Dark Sword or Lothric Knight Sword.
>>334255984
Nothing wrong with that, most rings are fucking trash.
>>334256023
I didn't fight a dancer in there
>>334255910
>gwyndolin
I went down that secret area but all I found was a ring that lets you trap, how do you trigger him? Or do you mean aldrich?
>>334255674
Oh good, more flavours of "knight". My point is there isn't a tonne of diversity in the set construction. A few thieves, a cleric/sorc or two, then it's fucking knights all the way down.
>>334255823
>>334255869
majula was SO fucking comfy. that constant sunset and coastal view. you could see other parts of the map as well. loved going back to majula.
firelink just feels boring. heres your necessary bland knight, level up girl, smith and merchant in generic dark room.
>>334256035
>What are the rules this time around?
Basically No Fun Allowed
>>334255805
Motherfucker, really? You fight her after killing 3 Lords (you're teleported).
Where should I go to grab a refined stone? Used the only one I had on a weapon that I don't plan on using for much longer and I feel like I might be fucked
>>334256036
5 or 6 tries here.
Not sure about the exact number, lost track.
But it was a fun fight
where do you get the armor that's on the cover?
>>334255972
>mfw seeing all those bloodstains in that room though
I guess red phantoms really are shitters holy shit
>>334256029
Go to the second bonfire of the first zone and then just down, dont even exit the tower.
>>334256042
Some elements of that are still there but you're not gonna be do a lot of sequence breaking in this game that's for sure. And it's a darn shame too because that's what made Dark Souls 1's world really special.
>>334256035
I'm at level 21 and can constantly invade both at the castle and settlement.
>>334256102
Uhh ok, how so?
Who here /Mirrah/
>>334256116
I beat em first try. Sadly I beat most bosses first try. I'm not even bragging. I was genuinely disappointed how easily I was able to plow through this games bosses. I mean, I have like, 5k total hours of souls games under my belt so I guess I'm not too shocked but damn. Haha.
Does refining staves increase their magic damage?
>>334255603
I'm assuming I get access to that later
>>334253054
flashsword is pretty shitty damage tho
i guess they have it balanced because you cant get parried or bounce off shields with it
MGS has been really useful aoe for me but i reckon pyromancy can do more damage
>>334255823
People constantly re-linking the fire is a pretty big part of the story.
>>334256043
The blue lothric knight is supposed to drop em, farmed him for awhile with the gold serpent ring and symbol of avarice. No refined gem dropped ;_;
>>334256070
Yeah, Aldrich
>>334256157
Well that tells me nothing is it like DS1 where as long as your under you can invade them? Is it a range? What are the rules?
>>334256103
I've not done that yet. I have only beat watchers and am about to do the giant
>>334255779
yeah the gambush shit is a little out of control this time around
like, its not enough to have a mimic there - they need to have 5 basilisks jump you from behind too. it just becomes redundant. you start to just KNOW everything is going to be a trap at that point.
>Finding the chloranthy ring and the lucatiel armour.
Finally! Wasn't expecting to find that stuff there.
>>334254263
>Those unarmed freak guys grab attack comes out in less than a second if they do it while running, its insane.
I'm more afraid of this thing than any other enemy/boss in the game so far:
>runs up to you, either jumps into the air onto your hear or grabs you directly; either way, he immediately rips your head off
Jesus fucking Christ
>>334256043
You can farm them from knights in Lothric castle pretty late in the game
>>334255886
Nah, it's called not enjoying a cheap shit game whose devs don't know how to make engaging encounters so they just throw 100 enemies your way and call it a day. It's not that it's hard because it's not, it's just mindnumbingly boring and predictable, but I can understand how people with no criticism whatsoever like yourself can get so easily impressed with bottom of the barrel garbage.
>>334255869
>>334256101
>Majula was comfy as fuck
This. Majula and the Hunter's dream were the comfiest shit ever, the Nexus was merely a safe place in the middle of a shitstorm, Firelink Shrine feels merely like a hub in both its iterations.
If there is one good thing to say about DaS3's Firelink is that the maiden ripoff says "may the flames guide thee".
Is the carthus blood ring good?

I am having tons of fun being summoned. I almost always get summoned by a noob who can't fight. He'll usually let me do all the fighting while he plays it safe. I blast through straight to the boss and we head in. I get what I came for and he now has to try and get the items he missed by himself since he is unable to summon in the area anymore.

I'm honestly not even sure I'm gonna bother beating this game because I'm quickly losing all interest. Just beat pontiff, which was a bullshit boss in bullshit area with some of the worst designed enemies I've seen, only to be greeted by a place with sorcerers throwing spells from above while you fight 2 giants, get invaded by members of a covenant and have to go up a narrow pathway with not one, not two, but THREE knights shooting their dragonslayer bows at you. I just closed the game then and there. This is of extreme poor taste.
>>334256412
Both are in the game

Yeah, but:
In DaS1 we're the second person that gets to do that, the first one went totally apeshit crazy, and for being able to do so we had to kill fucking gods. It doesn't end well for us either.
In DaS2, the cuck king became a zombie, and we didn't get to link the fire.
In DaS3, it seems as if linking the fire is not a big deal at all.

Souls is literally the only game I play anymore. I used to be much more hardcore of a gamer but after playing Dark Souls 1 I'm very VERY picky with what I play because that game set some pretty high standards and most games just leave me disappointed now. Haha.
Hey I just beat the Abyss Watchers, whats a good dex weapon? I'm currently using a Sharp Rapier +3 and a Sharp Winged Spear +2.
>>334256495
yeah if that area is too frustrating for you it'd be best not to continue on further in the game
it never stops, it just becomes more and more.
>>334256468
>Or what, do you want more 1v1 fights you can cheese by circle strafing, you baby?
It's increasingly obvious your last game was dark souls 2 and that you never played Bloodborne, so naturally you haven't seen what an engaging, well designed enemy stands for since the days of fresh dark souls 1. Not even gonna bother losing my time with such a mongrel, so do bark away.

After that area the mobs get a lot worse. That was the point where I started ignoring them and just ran everywhere. It's a shame the mobs are so strong that fighting them isn't worth it because the level design is getting better.

Well, after 40 hours I've done pretty much everything there is to do.
It was fun while it lasted. I'm disappointed by the lack of variety, and I don't see much of a reason to run through it again. I will of course, and hopefully I'll still have fun, but I dunno, it just feels kinda eh now that I'm done with it.
I guess I have this lingering feeling of, "That's it?" even though I absolutely loved playing through it.

i saw a png about the summons on the other threads a few hours ago
So that swamp area where you put out the fire towers, is that the same one you can see from where you raise the banner? I've put out to fires but they still burn when you look t them from up top. Lazy From Software. This is worse than the window frames not actually casting shadows in Bloodborne.

Oh god just drop it, specially since it's dark souls where you can just hide behind a shield and call it a day. I'm not saying that it's hard, I'm saying that it's boring, unimaginative, cheap and most of all it's predictable. The game feels like it's just busy work instead of quality design. It's obviously trying to kill you with cheap trick after cheap trick because they have no idea how to make it actually engaging. There's no thrill entering a room wondering what is gonna happen because you just know that a million enemies are gonna drop from the ceiling all of a sudden at the same time another million and one are gonna pop up from the ground and gank you. It's the exact same shit as dark souls 2 except they've made it many times as worse this time around. I never had any problem whatsoever with dark souls 2 and just steam rolled that game like it was an utter joke. It doesn't change the fact it was a poorly designed game. Learn the difference.
>>334256825
I'm fully aware but I highly dislike the voices of the other souls lore youtubers. Vaati just has a good voice, tho I do not support his channel through any means whatsoever.
>>334256931

>>334256474Was it personnel?

I'm starting to do this as well because whenever I see some strong enemy and think to myself "I just fucking HAVE to beat him because he probably has some good shit" all I get is a shitty titanite shard or nothing at all. It's fucking retarded.
This is the worst game in the series by far.

I don't use a shield. I dodge everything and it's not really that hard. I just like the environments, armor, and weapons a lot.
Also I don't think the game's poorly designed at all. I disagree with your opinion and I'm sorry you suck.

Most of the boss weapons are bad, don't be too disappointed.
>>334257061
Yhorm's axe is okay
>>334257061
Broadsword can stunlock nameless king until death. It's one of the best in the game.

>>334257061
Yhorm Great Machete is excellent, fake Ornstein's Axe is pretty good too
>>334256994
>>334257010
A-anri okita?
>>334257008
Yes. =(
>>334257117
Spooky
>>334256981
Sorry bro, it is engaging. Its an objectively good game by all measures. Maybe instead of being a contrarian tryhard just admit its pretty good, just not to your taste.
>>334257117
Thanks Ms. Skeletal
>>334257117
What's wrong with her aaaaaaarms
>>334257164
Yesshe's a guy for me
I got to Irithyll recently and I'm level 46, is that too low?
>>334257182
>objectively
How's kindergarten treating you?
Holy shit guys. New favorite boss in this game. It's gotta bethe second fight with Gundyr (the first boss) when you fight him in the spooky untended graves. His second phase was fucking CRAZY! He gets super fast and it's super intense. I loved it.
>>334257182
You know what's also a good game?DS2
autosave stutter fix when? running this shit on an ssd and it still stutters like crazy when i pick items up
>>334257205She has a skeleton in side her.
>>334256981
Name some specifics so everyone can point out exactly why you're retarded
>>334257268
Same. I even put it on my SSD to get the fastest performance
>>334257210
>Anri okita with a dick
god help me
>>334257227
If you're the salty retard from the paragraphs then just fuck off already. No one takes your shitty opinion seriously.
Quick, start writing a couple paragraphs for us to ignore before the thread 404s!
>>334257117
Damn, Gwynevere got all the curves. She left her sister with NOTHING. Shit, even her niece (Rosaria is thick).
is a dex run much different than str?
or should I just go sorcery for a second character?
Still rocking my Claymore and dragon shield - not regretting it at all. Holding L2 unlocks the 2hand moveset, plus dat range and stagger
>>334257253
Yeah, probably the game I hate the most that I still had a blast playing. It had too much to measure up to.
>>334257164
First thing I thought of when I heard the NPC's name.
>>334257343
For all intensive purposes, DEX and STR don't matter, since you can turn all weapons into the other with the gems
>>334257108
But it's boring. The game lacks interesting, good weapons. If I see a weapon that has an unique name and that looks unique I'd like the stats to reflect that.
Can someone who's finished the game explain how the fuck Andre of Astora is here in DS3?
>>334257343
Dex run is like STR run but with less poise breaks and faster attacks.
>>334257430
He walked there
>>334257386
You can only infuse weapons that use normal titanite
>>334257430
He's the blacksmith.
You ain't gotta know shit.
Move along.
>>334257330
I'm sure he'll be back in the next thread with his whining, don't worry.
>>334257430
"time in lordran is convoluted" - Solaire from Dark Souls 1.
I get the feeling that that line is gonna play a huge role in explaining the lore in this game.
>>334257330
And who do you think you are to speak on behalf of the others and state your personal opinions as if they were "objective" facts? Get off your high horse you autist and shove your own words up your ass, you are a fucking nobody.
>>334257430
The guy is undead, smithing is engaging enough to prevent him going hollow.
Large Titanite Shards - where can I find them? Anyone sell them?
>>334257526
Lothric castle, knights there drop them often. Shrine maid sells them too with the right ash.
>>334257508
I can admit things are good even if I didn't personally like them, its called not being 12.
>>334257515
Yeah, this is what I thought too
>>334257430
Just FROM's quality endless creativity at work here. Design a new interesting NPC with a different background? Nah, let's just throw some meme character in there instead because DUDE REFERENCES LMAO
>>334257578
Thanks, got her to sell the normal ones already. Guess I'll try and find more ash.
>>334257508
>Get off your high horse you autist and shove your own words up your ass, you are a fucking nobody.
You should take your own advice.
>>334257430
This should explain it clearly for you
>>334257430
well i mean anor londo wasnt that far away seemingly
and anor londo wasnt THAT far from the undead parish. didnt he have a few thousand years between the time of dark souls 1 and dark souls 3 as well? i mean either hes a complete illusion or the guy has had a shitload of time to walk a few thousand miles
>>334257430
Miyazaki mentioned about it in a interview, he said it's a family business
>>334257594
>it's a "this is a meme" post
>>334257586
Oh yeah, I guess not being 12 really is all about putting "objectively" behind subjective opinions thinking that magically bruteforces them while shouting at people who have a different view, amirite? You have a long way to go before being called 12 feels like an insult to you, because as of now, it's a bold compliment.
>>334257605
She'll sell everything except slabs eventually, which is a shame since you can't farm them either. Only 8 slabs per playthrough.
>>334257664
What is your life like that you spend hours in here doing this?
>>334257609
>n-no u
>>334257613
haven't kek'd this hard in a good while. Thx anon.
Can I have a source for that, btw?
>>334257681
Interesting, thanks. I'll keep that in mind when chosing an endgame weapon, for now I'm progressing fine with the claymore.
>>334257708
>hours
Projecting much?
Why do I feel like I should've killed the cunt from Carim that wields a huge hammer the moment I saw him?
>>334257681
Why does From do this now?
In BB you could only get one of the highest tier material until the DLC where they added two more.
Why not just let you farm as many as you want
>>334257773
>He doesn't recognize Black Dynamite
>>334257773
Black Dynamite
>>334257664
boring
>accidentally summon a red phantom whilst fucking around near the cathedral bonfire
Fuck, oh well I almost beat the guy regardless.
>>334257820
i get that feeling too
fortunately hes left my miracle waifu alone for now. im afraid hell go full Yurt and kill her.
>>334257832
>>334257856
Thank you. Now I finally have something that I need to watch. ^_^
>>334257826
Because farming is a horrible mechanic that should be discouraged.
>>334257903
Better than locking you into maining a set of weapons, instead of allowing you to max several and try them out
Is Tears of Denial any good?
>>334257889
If DaS was more fleshed out as an RPG I would've picked the eventual "why should I not kill you right here, right now" option.
Anybody wishes that From would cut the crap and write some proper background lore this time around, instead of just giving vague explanations in item descriptions.
Are there any videos demonstrating how well the ring of obscurity works? I can never tell if people can see me or not.
>the only way to play this game is equip bloodring and dodge everything like BB
No reason to use any shield but grass and 2 hand.
>>334258356
They do write lore though, it's just up to you to tie it together, DS2 had the problem of having things just to be vague.
I'm have a bit of trouble with the skellingtons and grave wardens in the catacombs with my shitty build.
Is there any good strategy for dealing with them?
Enchant a weapon with fire, get a strike weapon, etc.
>>334259064
roll and backstab
Anyone know how to get darkdrift? Says turtle man has it. Do I need to commit a murder?
>>334259180
Kill Yuria
Got invaded by a naked skeleton man named Ayy lmao who killed 4 other invaders and helped me progress. He also burned some leeches off me and taught me how tohave fun
>>334259167
The warden dudes teleport around the place.
And my weapon sucks; doesn't even one-shot the skeletons. Which respawn.
>>334259459
then upgrade it? I was killing skeletons in 2 hits with a longsword, also they don't teleport, they roll. you can get a ring that does the same, just roll sideways and they won't hit you.
>>334259294
Any negatives to this?
>fighting pontiff
>actually really easy
>get him down to a quarter heath
>he summons a clone
>dead in 5 seconds
good boss
>>334259641
you miss out on one of the endings
>>334259664
you can just mash r1 while he's summoning it and it dies
>>334259575
I haven't found a single large titanite yet.
But I bought, infused and upgraded a Fire Mace +2 and that seems to be doing the trick by stunlocking the skeletons so it's fine.
Thanks.
