>>334738254
>unironically using the most broken sword in the game
You'll love Unnamed King. Pontiff was one of the easier bosses in the game.
>>334738254
Have fun with the Nameless king by yourself mate.

9/11
>>334738254
Good job bro you sure showed him with your OP weapon.
>>334738489
I have killed all the bosses so far on my own, without help, without guides, this one was the hardest... and he wasn't even a lord of cinder. I thought lord of cinders would be the strongest godly hard mode bosses in the game.
>>334738938
This is my first dark souls game, I have no clue what the fuck I am doing with armour, weapons and stats, just testing stuff out. I also have enough dexterity for greatswords, I switch between greatswords and normal 1h swords.
>broadsword somehow ended up being the best weapon
Get fucked faggots
>Regular fucking straight sword(s) are op
never thought I'd see this day
I am a fag for certain armor sets only available late game.
How hard is the dancer?
Will I have to go through truckloads of just as hard enemies in the archives place and shit?
Why is DS3 so easy?
>>334738938
rate me faglords
im fucking beautiful for a str/fth build
>>334738938
How did you get such dark black hair? I tried making black hair, but couldn't, it wasn't dark black, some weird black/blue.
>>334739601
It's easy if you have straight swords
>>334739610
Omfg, that looks great. I love knight armour, how do I get this stuff?
>>334739478
You can fight dancer as the second boss if you want to.
>>334739601
Because we've officially played five of the same game at this point. Everything is too predictable so most of us aren't dying as much.
I'm sure people newer to the series are getting fucked left and right though.
Is Straight Sword really this op ?
I finished the game with Uchiganata+10 and thought it was really strong as hell.
>>334739601
it's funny when people say that
it was the hardest Souls for me
friend said it's easy as fuck, killed Nameless King on his second try but at the same time he struggled hard as fuck in BB which I found easy as hell
>>334739762
Well yeah but I don't want to trigger the fight and miss out on the NPC conversation if I cant beat her.
>>334738254
FUCK THE CHURCH
>>334739610
Not bad/10
fuck I wish you could sheathe your weapons without having to two hand your off hand weapon
>>334739825
Not really, it's just slow weapons fags butthurt they aren't #1 anymore.
Ok, since all of you cry about broadsword, I will continue the game with this Ultimate greatsword, just made it :D
I'll promise I will defeat next boss with this weapon! lets go boys, rate my knight.
>>334738254
>dark souls 1

My nignog. Infuse it with lightning, it scales S with faith at +10.

eh i like it for certain shit, but i will admit that spell makes it look stupid
>>334740198

>>334740271
Hohoho, this is gonna be fun
>>334739748
helm is alvas, no idea where i got that, rest is silver knight, i dont even have to explain where i got that
body type is slim (important to get the angelic kind of look) if you didnt choose that, just respec
also v fightclub when
>>334738427
How can you use a weapon "ironically"?
>>334740198
Better weapons, but get away from the knight set.
use the fallen knight set instead
>>334740624
It's a meme, bro.
>>334740397
caestus + another caestus? i wish
hmm give me that rigor mortis dick
>>334740538
It fucking wrecks in PVP and in PVE as well. You will need another weapon for the old king, though. He's pretty resistant to lightning.
>>334740859
Can I find that mask somewhere or is it just a drop? I've been farming those midgets for hours and they didn't drop it.
>>334740994
Its a drop.
>>334741032
Well fuck.
>>334739601
It isn't. If anything I think it's harder than 2 and certainly tougher than most of 1. All that changed is yougot gud
>>334740859
>Thrall Hood
sackbro/10is that Anri?
>>334741242
yes
>>334740994
keep farming, i know the pain
>>334739610
Make way for the dark lord and his oversized gauntlets.
trying to kill dancer guys, any tips? I can get her to about 25%
>using bleed to try and cheese it but i'm honestly bored of it after like 5 tries
>>334741726
Her attacks are slow, but hit hard. Just stay somewhat close and to her left, dodge everything that doesn't look like the huge ass and long combo and sneak a hit in every now and then.
She's really simple once you got her patterns down and honestly there isn't more to her fight.
Or you just could summon someone.
>>334741726
keep a pillar between you and her
>>334741950
Just got her to 2 hits off death and I got greedy and didn't notice she was combo-ing fuck. Only boss i've used a summon on so far is pontiff and i'm not gonna make this bitch my 2nd
>>334741514
gay priest is here now
>>334742231
Well... Then just try her some more. Like you already mentioned she is pretty weak to bleed, so use that.
>>334740248
Tower Shield and Greatsword I believe.
>>334739437
>This is my first dark souls game
This is Dark Souls 3, why would you start at 3?
>>334740859
I have been doing nothing but shagging bent-over bodies and face-sitting on corpses since getting that gesture.
>>334743071
I wanted to play other Dark Souls, but heard they had bad PC ports and I only have a PC. Dark Souls 3 came at the right time for me.
How do I look?
>>334744495
Would kick off a ledge/10
>use the butchers knife
>constantly use the FP boost because the insane HP steal it has.
>hits like a truck AND heals chunks per swing.
this thing eats bosses and eats people during PvP.
>>334738254
>using a shield
>climbing down a ladder
>see this
what do?
>>334738254
So is it just "Sullivan" or "Sull-ee-vahn"?
>>334744937
Sword and Shield is the way of the knight.
>>334745010
Use a shitty OP weapon
>>334745010
Climb back up ladder
>>334744495
das1/10
Eastern and lautrec armor are still so sexy though.
>>334740660
>use the fallen knight set instead
why? everyone uses it
>>334745153
>Really like the coat on Fallen Knight
>Every helm other than Fallen Knight looks like complete shit when paired up with the chest
>>334745010
Go down and check around the corner. ;)
>>334745137
There is actually two of them and I am sure there is something hiding somewhere in this room, I am going back up the ladder, good advice /v/, I love you.
>>334745010
the first one you can bait near the ladder and drop off, doing a plunge attack on him. the second one you can do the same. fuck fighting them fairly though, its watchdog of the old lords as a mob enemy.
>>334745507
You get some good stuff from there and you will find aCovenant.
You can cheese them by using plunging attacks off the ladder by the way, they don't respawn.
>>334745598
Nah fuck that, I am leaving, going to explore the rest of the area, I won't fight them unless I have to for now, I am low on orange juice, need to be careful.
>>334739601
haha i died to the first boss 23 times
damn keyboard controls and stuttering.
So this is what Dark Souls universe considers an arrow huh? How the fuck am I supposed to get past these "archers", ayyyy lmao.
>>334745776
a bonfire will spawn when you kill them as it is a covenant room
>>334744495
where do you get Lautrec's armor?
>>334746097
Try running after they shoot.
>>334746097
You just run, you dumb goof
>>334746331
Nah, fuck that, I am chilling with my waifu. I am going to touch her and she is going to level my something up, if you are catching my drift :3
>>334740248
dual fucking avelyns.
can someone tell me why every time i invade there's a phantom with no animations that i can't possibly beat because i can't see what he's doing? this is fucking painful and i'm going to have an aneurysm if i die to this shit one more time
>From his chamber in Shit City
>Pontiff Sulyvahn: MMMM YEAH OOOH BABBY *masturbates to invisible hitboxes and untelegraphed moves* GOD I'M SO FUCKING HARD RIGHT NOW *reaches into asshole like he reaches across the room* MMM YEAH LET ME MASTURBATE WITH THIS SHIT AND EAT IT MMM YEAH TASTY CHOCOLATE
>Ashen one enters
>OOOOH DADDY WAS NEEDING SOME CUMMIES *leaps across the room and swings his sword in 3 nanoseconds instantly killing him* YEAH YOU FUCKED IN THE WRONG NEGHBORHOOD MMMM LET ME SNIFF YOUR HOLLOWED DICK MMMMMM YEAH BABY
IT'S NOT FAIR. WHY IS THIS FUCKER LITERALLY THE HARDEST THING IN THE GAME. I'M LEVEL 70 AND THIS GUY JUST FUCKING ONE SHOTS ME AND IT'S LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DODGE HIS MOVES BECAUSE OF HIS BULLSHIT LAGGING HITBOXES. HOLY SHIT IS THERE SOME WAY TO CHEESE THIS ASSMUNCH?
>>334738254
whats so hard? he is the only boss I beat first try other than deacons
>>334746582
literally impossible amirite??
>>334745776
yea understandable, the first one you see is pretty annoying to battle. come back later though, some solid loot after killing them.
I'm a big sissy
>>334746582
Dodge his swings and then attack when he stops swinging.
>>334746582
> *reaches into asshole like he reaches across the room*
I'll give you a 'you' for that line.
>>334745478
the black knight helmet looks pretty good on it
>>334746778
you're a fucking conehead is what you are
>>334746582
>Level 70
>Still at Pontiff
I fucking finished the game and Nameless King at 80
Am I kawaii anon-kun?
I changed my gear, rate my character now.
>>334745507
Defeating both will give you access to the Aldritch Faithful convenant (instant PVP), a bonfire, the Ring of Favor (which is unequipable this time around), and make Lautrec's set purchasable in Firelink Shrine.
Luckily, they don't respawn when killed. So even managing to kill one will make it substantially easier.
>>334746540
Just give her the eyes she deserves. Only then you will know true despair.
>>334746582
best way to cheese him is to dodge his attacks and attack him after he attacks.
>>334747216
go back to long sword because long swords are broken
HEY KID
WANNA 4V1?
>>334745507
>>334747281
I dunno if they patched it, but you can pull the left one alone, but not the right one. Hitting the right one with a bow will cause it to turn to face you, but it won't aggro or take damage. But if you hit the left one, he'll pull and you can fight him solo, as long as you stick to that little area near the ladder.
I guess they intended for you to fight both, but weren't very thorough about it.
>>334747615
>Glaive
No, but I want to gank people with you, brother.
>>334747665
Hitting them with a poison arrow and procing poison will aggro either.
>>334745010
Keep going and wait for me while I invade you
>>334738938
Glad to see I'm not the only one rolling a Prophet Muhammad build
Why exactly is the broadsword so OP? I've got washing pole +10 but my friend has been using broadsword the whole game. Does it just have low stamina consumption?
>>334747540
Nah, I like this Ultra Greatsword, going to take the next boss with this weapon.
>>334747281
You seem very wise about Dark Souls, can you answer my noob questions please? I am having difficulties with the lore.
1. What is unkindled?
2. What is undead?
3. What is hollow?
4. What is Darksign?
5. What is ashen one?
6. What are embers? Why do I seek them?
I really like Dark Souls 3, but don't understand the lore. I am going to clear the game at least 4-5 times testing magic, thief, healing, pyromancer etc. before making a character for PvP.
>>334747686
i think the glaive has the best moveset out of the halberds, i don't really like the gundyr's charge swing.
the lucerne is good but i hate the R2 on it.
>>334745478
The Lothric Knight Helm looks pretty damn good on it
>>334745035
Suhl-ih-vahn or vun or ven depending on your accent I guess.
>Nameless king phase 1
Fuck this bird.
It's stupidly easy but at the same time, the attacks hit like a freight train and the fucking thing is impossible to get a safe hit in as a melee character.
anyone wanna get all gay with me and watch youtube streamers while eating doritos and talking about naruto
>>334745035
soul ih van
>>334748092
I've found when NK uses his lightning attack while on the wyvern, you can dodge it by getting almost directly under him. You can use this opportunity to attack the neck. You can also flank the wyvern before it does it's flame breath, and get an easy hit as it gets up after you crit it.
are the twin spears good?
>>334748543
anything that pokes is good.
So is the broadsword on the Dark Sword/FUGS tier bullshit in /v/'s opinion?
>>334747965
I too would like to know this. I mean the more exotic weapons appeal to me so I probably won't be abusing it on my 2nd playthrough. I always figured each weapon in a given category is pretty similar aside from its weapon art and small differences in damage/scaling.
>>334747974
>What is unkindled?
Basically Dark Souls 3's version of hollowing/humanity.
>What is undead?
Usually every "human" character in the games are undead, including the player character. Dark Souls 3 changed a few things, but as far as I'm aware everybody is still undead.
>What is a hollow?
A hollow is an undead who has gone mad. The process of hollowing is the loss of humanity, which happens to most undead. Zombies, essentially.
>What is Darksign?
The Darksign is basically a mark that indicates you are undead.
>What is ashen one?
The title of the player character in Dark Souls 3. Previous games had different titles e.g. Chosen Undead in Dark Souls 1.
>What are embers? Why do I seek them?
Embers are essentially the Dark Souls 3 version of humanity. Humanity gave you access to online features and changed your appearance, much like Embers, but without the HP buff. You seek them because it "kindles" you.
>>334739657
make your character mature and use the RGB sliders, young characters get a gloss texture over everything
>>334746097
Now THAT's an arrow I get can behind.
>invade
>surrounded by the host and his 3 phantoms
gr8 pvp
I find it really funny how it seems everyone is having trouble with different bosses.
I got fucked by Pontiff, Soul of Cinder and (I am still getting fucked by) Nameless King, but for Champion Gundyr and the Dancer I managed them in one go, completely unprepared.
I genuinely wonder why everyone seems to be having such a different experience.
>>334742492

>>334750124
>he doesn't use the two carthus rings
40 endurance and you roll half invisible and 100% invincible for like 30 seconds straight
>>334747974
1. It just seems like another term for an undead, it seems.
2. The Dark Souls universe cycles between ages of Fire and Dark. As the fire fades, people are born with the Darksign, which curses them to return to "life" after they die. But as they return to life, there is a chance they will go mad, becoming a hollow. Also, you look like beef-jerky for some reason.
5. Just another term for unkindled, or undead.
6. Fragments of fire. You seek them because fire is life, and being an undead is shitty. The undead may resurrect endlessly, but they are not truly alive, even if they kinda seem like it sometimes.
>>334748104
j-jeff?
Super fucking late but how is broadsword OP?
>>334750654
all the straight swords are pretty good, but i don't know why people are complaining about straight swords when thrusting swords are 100% fucking broken
I can upgrade my Wolf Knight Greatsword to +5.
Is it worth it? I am doing a balanced Strength and dex build.
I've been using this weapon since the Abyss Watchers, and haven't found anything better yet.
>>334746913
No, since DaS this helmet makes your head look tiny and weird.
>>334740859
I don't know what I did wrong but I never encountered some NPCs throughout my playthrough and I explored everything.
>>334750124
PvP was pissing me off too with the 3v1 bullshit until I joined the Aldrich Faithfuls. The majority of the fights were actually even and enjoyable as you always get back up when you're out numbered. I don't think blue sentinels can even spawn there, didn't see one in over 30 invasions.

>>334750850
what's the level range for aldritch invasions? I went to the dungeon first and I'm already like level 70. I missed out on watchdogs since I didn't start trying to use the sign til I was like level 40
>>334747281
Why is Ring of Favor bad?
>>334751045
you gotta make her chocolate, anon.
>>334751180
Whenever someone enters the cathedral area just after Pontiff you're summoned to kill them. You're often aided by other red or Aldrich phantoms.
fucking missed seigward armour because I was already in the dungeon before rescuing him on the well (i didn't even know he was there until I got to the profaned city bonfire).
npc questlines are hard to not miss in this shit
>>334750850
Is carthus flame arc as good as resin at 10int/10fth?
I keep getting my ass royally kicked by the mace knight after the huge giant in the Cathedral of the Deep, he is considerably harder than any other regular enemy I've faced so far. Can I just run by him?
>tfw I one-shot a mage with this
God I love this thing just more than I did in the first game.
>>334751251
how does one go about changing the tone of that section of face correctly? every time I try it goes either BLUE MONSTER or RED THING FROM MARS.
>>334750138
Boss behavior and attacks are widely different between them so people get fucked by different things they find hard to adapt to. Then theres some who are just incredible adaptable to everything.

Quite glad I didn't find this earlier, on second thoughts. Shit's already been immensely easier since finding the izalith tome and succumbing to the INT/FTH build (I have yet to find a decent weapon to Sharp infuse for a dex build)
>>334739601
It isn't, we've all just had yeas of training playing these games. I persuaded my gf to try DaS 3 and she got obliterated. Eventually beat the first boss after about two hours and a lot of coaching, at which point she quit because the game was "too scary".
Why is the broadsword broken? Isn't it just the same as a straight sword?
>>334751305
I'm soul level 73 and I've been getting near instant summonings all night.

Just beat the Deacons of the Deep. Irithyll and the Demon King are kicking my ass. Is he an optional boss?

>>334751731
What is broken about it? Just 400 attack power.

>>334751317
Sorry, I meant that the Ring of Favor doesn't break when you unequip it. It doesn't seem to be as powerful as the one in Dark Souls 1, though.

i think nameless was easier than pontiff. just did dancer, nameless and dragonslayer armor today and they were rly enjoyable even with an STR build.

>>334754339

>>334738938
brother!
Why is every saying the Nameless king is hard?
I only attempted him one time, and the Chaos Blade took 15% per swing of the bird, after 3 or 4 it got stunned and I can land a crit on it. Got him to 70% in second phase and died like a retard, but if thats all there is to the fight I really don't understand why everyones saying he is hard.

I bet you use a katana too you twat
>>334756295
Why the fuck would an invader bow? That's not a duel hes forcing his way into your world to murder you.
>>334755718
The dark sword scales like a mother fucker if you put a refined gem on it.
From what I remember, the Dex/STR scale hit B at +7 with a refined enhancement. It's becoming a meme weapon on PvP as some people have reported that you can dissapear someone who's under 30 VIT on 4 hits.
Shit's crazy man. The only problem that I see is that they will probably patch it very soon due to it's broken stats and sword art.

Honestly I never bow to these bastards because they usually do the same shit, that's just going full scumbag. If you are invading me, fight like a man 1v1, no mob support bullshit.

>>334757751
I don't think there's a single flaw with it to be honest. You are basically carrying a straight sword with a packed GS sword art.
I have to yet use it because astora's works pretty good for me. I will probably change it soon for some dual swords on my NG+ and see how it goes tho.
>>334757408
I gotta say it's sort of a pussy move to summon a phantom when you are getting invaded but if the invader comes right when the host is doing co-op with a friend/random, I guess there isn't much you can do but suck it up and 2v1 it.
The good thing of being part of a invasion-oriented covenant is that you can get some aid from your fellow covenant members like in anal rodeo.
>>334757864
The broadsword can reach some crazy ATK levels with the right enhancement. For example, leaving at +10 has 234 base with C strength and D dexterity scaling. with a heavy gem that shit literally reaches A STR scaling so you can already imagine how high it can get with a STR oriented build.
I'm not the only one who summons help for any fight with multiple targets right?
Cause that shit's just unfair.
some of you are alright
don't go to cathedral tomorrow
>>334739601
Having just replayed all the other games in preperation for it, I can safely say it's one of the harder, if not THE hardest, of the series. Not by much of course, but just the fact that we've played them all so much should make it fucking obvious why it seems easy by now.
>>334739601
Its the hardets because the enemies have bloodborne speed and movesets, but we are used to these games so we know how to counter the bullshit.
Curious, I just joined the Aldrich covenant. Is there anything I have to do to actually start getting summoned?
Can I be anywhere in the world, and still get summoned? Do I have to be Embered, and do I have to equip anything to invade.

SAUCE
>>334759171
Nah, I usually through areas with my bud. No way I would have taken that winged knight trio on my own and retained my sanity.
Pontif was easy as fuck. Now the princes on the other hand were actually really hard. Almost gave in and summoned but eventually managed to win 1v1 after like 20 tries.
>>334761380
I finally managed prince after getting oneshot at the start of phase 2.
That fucking teleport into an instant smash is some shit mang.
>>334755807
lol, you actually leveled up? I beat Pontiff at SL1, without taking damage, with just my fists. Fucking easy mode up in here.
Get out of here you fucking scrub.
So there is a ladder behind the woman who lets you join the Way of Blue, how do you access this ladder? (right before the Vordt boss fight)
Anyone else find pic related fairly underwhelming? The camera was the Boss in P1 but it was still easy as piss and you could just fucking stagger the boss in P2 way too easily.
Suprising considering how many people hype this fight up.
>>334761685
Dunno, I liked the boss itself, not the first phase, of course.
You don't need to fight the camera there too as the barely avoidable instakill hellkite firebreath indicates that you should never be below him. I've found that keeping your distance works just fine since each attack he has leaves his head open for 1-2 attacks and you can roll backwards twice before any attack the king himself does to avoid it.
Can we all take a moment to talk about how fucking retarded Champion Gundyr is? Literally every single one of his moves is designed expressly to say "lmao should have brought a faster weapon fggt :^)"
>literally every single one of his combos can and will be extended into his kick or shoulder charge, entirely at random
>with these extensions, literally none of his moves have a long enough cooldown to get in an R1 with an ultra weapon
>if you try and bait out the extension (which you do by standing still), he has other extenders that exist solely to punish doing so (again, which he does at random)
there are literally 0 safe times to attack him if you're using a great hammer or an UGS. How many times you get rekt while trying to deal damage is 100% RNG, it all depends on whether or not his AI decides to do one of the dozen finishers that he can do at the end of literally any of his combos. Fuck this retarded fight.
>>334739873
Well BB is the easiest game in the series but requires a different mindset than the other games. It's more beneficial to be hyper aggressive in BB than the Souls games and the switch to that mindset can make the game difficult.
>>334762115
I honestly think that fight is impossible without parrying, he's just way too god damned aggressive
>>334762115
Go fight the old demon guy, the dragonslayer arnor and the brothers, then come back and wreck him like I did. Not that hard on a higher level with better equipment.
>tfw new game + already
>tfw went sorcerer and blasted through the game
>people think dark souls 3 is even hard.
If you think ds3 is hard you might be autistic. Every since dark souls 1 there has never been good balance between the classes. Literally anything that uses magic turns the game into easy mode bullshit, instead of making enemies attack patterns changed when dealing with someone who's ranged they stay at a distance and let me pick them off. Same with the bosses, they are just easy mode on sorcerer.
>>334762285
I can see it working if you've got a speedy weapon like a 1handed sword or a spear. If you're packing anything slower, no, it's 100% RNG, because all of his cooldowns are too fast for your weapon to attack (provided that you have the bad luck of him deciding to use his Sparta Kicks, Shoulder Smashes, or punches that he randomly does at the end of his combos).
Or let's not forget how he can, at random, decide to do his charge attack at the end of any of his horizontal sweeps in phase 3 -- even if you're at point-blank range and have literally no way of avoiding it, since the only way to avoid that move is to have assured clear distance
>>334762482
>people think dark souls 3 is even hard.
No, no one says that.
They think a handful of bosses are challenging, but that's it.
>>334762285
I don't know how to parry and I just beat it by rolling through everything. I've got 30 stamina though so take that as you will.
>>334762471
old demon king is 10000x easier than Gundyr. Literally just keep behind him and smack his tail, he can do nothing to you. If you approach the fight like Ganon in OOT, Demon King is ezpz. It's just a game of patience at that point
>>334762482
That is the most autistic use of the word autistic I've ever seen.

What the fuck did Ludleth do to Firelink Shrine? When you find the one that's actually connected to Lothric, it's dark, deserted, and already consumed by the Abyss. The Bell didn't even ring!
Did any of the Lords even link the Flame? They couldn't have been revived by the Bell like Lords of Cinder supposedly are, since the Bell never actually rang.
Are we being rused? Is Firelink a Gwyndolin-tier illusion?

>>334762613
man, when I fought him his fucking weapon handle would push me all over the place and he'd just unload into me with his combustion move, or I'd lose all track of my character when under him. He also turned really quickly and I couldn't stick on the tail so I just kited him until he did the breath attack, hit him a few times then backed off and repeated

levels won't solve the problem that my weapon is too slow to deal damage to him with any degree of safety. I have no idea how to avoid his kicks and punches aside from praying that he just doesn't decide to throw them out. My weapon is too slow to let me get in a dodge or a block if he decides to do so, even if I've timed everything perfectly. Fighting him with a Great Club is suffering.
>>334763001
>no sunlight straightsword
>pyromancy
Gross, but not incandescent.
It's retarded how much easier abyss watchers are with a memesword. You can get 5 hit combos on him, but with a bigger weapon he just dodges away then wrecks you.
>>334738254
>soul spear 1-shot his afterimage
>also hits him because of the penetration
>>334763213
I took him out with the Giant Machete thing.
My trick was to keep him a medium range, the cooldown on his shoulder fuck is just long enough to get a good hit in. There is like a window of 2-3 feet where you are just out of range of the shoulder/kick.
>>334754936
The first phase is an irritating joke
>>334763213
......how about you switch your weapon then? It sounds like you already know what your problem is. The game gives you easily enough shards to upgrade multiple weapons. Just picked something a little faster then fight him again. I beat him with Japanese steel folded over 1000 times but I'm sure that's not the optimum weapon for the fight.
>>334763071
How to fight ODK, for the benefit of everyone ITT:
1. don't lock on
2. run towards him. Does he do his long sweeping attack, the home run swing that grinds against the floor? If not, run away and try to bait this attack.
3. If yes, dodge into his belly. If you're touching his stomach, his home run swing literally cannot hit you. Don't dodge or anything, just wait for him to follow through.
4. Sprint around his body before he resets. The goal is to get near his tail.
5. If you've timed this properly, he'll try and do his AoE punish, the one that would fuck you if you were still in front of him. However, if you're sufficiently behind him, you can still attack the tail and be out of it's range.
6. Get a few hits in and back off.
7. Repeat
>>334738427
>broadsword
>not Dark Sword
Dark Sword is objectively the most bullshit object in game right now, and I say that as someone who uses it.
Not only does it have probably the best shield break attack in game, it also has a fucking A scale rating with either STR or FTH depending how you infuse.
>>334763489
but, he can do 2 kicks in a row, which fucks you if you try that strat
or, he can follow the shoulder slam with a punch, which fucks you if you try that strat
I've gotten very unlucky runs where he would punish me over and over and over again for trying to punish his punishes. he has multiple punishes that exist solely for this purpose.
>>334763650
What's the sheild break attack? R2? I thought the art was stomp
>>334763528
I shouldn't have to switch weapons and respec my build to kill a boss
>>334763398
yo anon I used the great cleaver the whole game, and found abyss watchers ez after I figured it out. Do it solo.
First phase: just run until your friend spawns, then get in some backstabs/big hits, then run again until he respawns if he dies
Second phase: just walk backwards while locked on, and you'll notice which combos leave him helpless for a second, then you can get a hit or two in. It was a fun fight because you couldn't just roll around him absently
>>334763543
this was my strategy until he started doing his homerun swing -> overhead smash combo, and then suddenly follow it with these wild fucking swings that would hit under his stomach because of the handle
Is the fast roll worth it in this game? Vitality is ass and I have to wear rags to be below 30%
>>334763398
the general design philosophy of DaS3 seems to be
>oh, so people have been saying that STR builds are the melee cheese of Souls games, right?
>well fuck you, lets' change that!
so many enemies and bosses seem expressly designed to punish slow weapons, I'm amazed. Not even BB was this hard with an ultra weapon, and that game was fast as fuck

>>334763967
fast roll is always worth it
>>334745478

>>334763806
Who the fuck says? If anything the act you have to adopt different strategies for different bosses provides variety to the game. You don't have to respec your build unless you fucked it up massively. You don't even have to change weapon if you just get good and punish him only on his combo Enders with massive cool down. However, if you're having a lot of trouble and you know how to beat him, rather than whining, why don't you just do it? I'm not telling you to cheese him or anything, just use a different weapon or suck it up, quit being a little bitch and get good.
>>334763967
You only need to be below 70%, nigger. What are you doin.
>>334763967
No fast roll in this game, equip weight below 70% only changes roll distance, not i-frames.
>>334763398
if you're using a slow weapon, don't try for more than 1 hit at a time, he can punish that shit for days.
In phase 1, get in as much damage as you can until his buddy spawns, then run around like a madman, and try and take advantage of the chaos when the 3rd shows up.
In phase 2, only go damage when he does his somersault. That's the only move with a cooldown that's reliably long enough to stay safe while getting hits in. Just dodge through it
>>334761561
lol you actually played all the way through him?
I literally found a note at the start of the game that had his suicide note on hit because he didnt want to fight me at all

Nah, the description is fucked.
It's a stomp set up, that you need to follow up with R2. Doing so does super strong udercut that also semi-charges and homes in on the target and can insta break everything but Havel.
It also does a shit ton of damage if it hits something without a shield up.
I can't fucking deal with this shit anymore. Fuck me. I'm about to give up. The stupid fucking knights that OHKO me are really pissing me off.
>>334764317
fuck off retard, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. All of Gundyr's enders themselves have enders, which he only uses when you try and punish his enders. None of these enders have a cooldown that's consistently long enough to get in a hit -- if you do, it's because the AI was being nice to you and not punishing your punishing of his punishes.
>>334763967
Fist off, you have fast roll till 70%, and yes, it's the only defensive tool you need.
>>334744065
The first Dark Souls with dsfix is a great experience on PC.
>90% of the weapons you find are worse than the gear you start with
>autosummons are actually 100% broken for me
So much for having fun. Turns out it's a huge problem but only affects a few people and I just so fucking happen to be in that range.
I highly fucking doubt being level 76 in the place after Pontiff would disable the autosummons considering I still get people autosummoning -against- me. If it really is an issue I might just fucking drop my level so I can actually have fun in the area ASSUMING I CAN GET THE FUCKING THING TO WORK.
>>334738254

>dies

>>334764672
No, faggot, sound like you're the only retard here. He has several attacks wen he is clearly punishable, and if you spent more time playing the game than whining on the internet you'd know that.
If he exhausts his kicks and shoulder bump he can't do any more in his combo.
If he does the big overhead ground slam attack he also needs to cool down.
If he jumps he needs to cool down.
Now either shut the fuck up and stop being a pussy, or go and play with another weapon.
Did I fuck up?

>>334762959
Yeah, the main firelink shrine is a recreation. I think it still works like the original one does, so it's not entirely an illusion.

He's saying it's the meme armor of this game, which it absolutely is, just like elite knight in DaS1, and faraam in DaS2.
>>334765317
Don't know what to say gayboy, he had enough cool down on those attacks for me to drink 2 estuses. If your weapons animation takes longer than drinking the estus twice then it's your fault for playing with an absolutely shit weapon.
Either way the point still stands that you should stop complaining about it when there's a clear solution.

It's just awful because I've basically missed the boat on forest invasions and thus finishing that covenant, and now I just unlocked dorkmoons and have been trying for the faithfuls for a while and can't level up even once more without losing access to SL60s.
Hopefully it's fixed soon, though. I'm getting tired of 1v3 regular invasions.

Nope likely because most bosses are aggressive fagbags that give you a small window of attacking between rolling frantically

Well not shit sherlock. If you don't care about using broken stuff, then just stick with the dark sword, literally nothing is better. Be advised it's getting patched though.
>>334740624

No need to explain yourself to me. All I'm saying is that if you personally don't feel guilty about using something broken, then by all means stick with the dark sword.
>>334744065
Dark souls 1 just needs dsfix, which is a .dll you simply throw into your game folder. Dont know about vanilla DaS2, but scholar is the best port out of the franchise. 3 is actually a pretty mediocre port in comparison.
>>334766205
Shit is STR build, good if Dex with slight quality build aspects, has a 12 str requirement and A scaling with Dex at +5. It's moveset is slow as shit for most bosses though.
>>334763543
All you have to do is stand under his belly where none of his attacks can hit you except the aoe smash which doesn't stick around so you can just keep swinging like crazy and disregard everything he does except the aoe. No reason to go behind him at all ever. At half obviously you have to back off when he does any long cast aoes but those are so telographed you shouldn't take any dmg at all.

All straight swords are OP right now. And yeah, low stamina consumption along with fast R1 spam that breaks poise as well as any other weapon.
>>334763650
I've used dark sword and lothric knight sword about equally in my playthrough so far. I honestly prefer the former when combined with Shield of Want. If something even THINKS about throwing up a shield they are fucking dead. The stance R2 tracks insanely well too.
For PVE it's no question, lothric knight has the BSS moveset with the glorious stabby R2.
I do really like the fucked up crazy hitbox on the dark sword stomp that lets you go through everything. And it does hit a little harder.
>>334766373
>>334766761
I didn't know it was the most broken, my bad. I guess I'll definitely get the greatsword then.
thanks anons
>>334750823
Used it all the way through my first playthrough, I'd say worth it just because it's a fun weapon. The damage is actually mediocre though since you can't infuse or buff it.
So I've been going through the game with the butcher's knife which is badass but I wish it had an L2 attack and recently picked up the Murakumo. Is it worth respeccing to dex? From what I can tell the Murakumo is a straight upgrade, same speed, longer reach, and it's infusable so the damage is either better or just about the same with a sharp infusion.
You didn't beat the boss. You used a straight sword
>>334767391
>And then you linked the first fire the end
I don't really know what I was expecting.
im pumping points into dex and have like 14 str. went from rapier to uchi and currently have that at +4. would consider switching to a greatsword but i heard some people say they're shit in 3... any recommendations? i made that hollowslayer greatsword. not sure what else is out there that is good

Other weapons are UP. The new poise system makes heavy/slow weapons harder to use and overall not worth it, but also raises the skill ceiling so it's not all bad. Problem is, from will likely just nerf things without buffing others in turn.

Greatsword or Greataxe
The greatest of greats.

Try greatsword, fully charged two-handed greatsword can send people flying.

Can someone please explain to me why Dark Souls III has such piss easy bosses?
The first two bosses are such jokes. It's embarrassing how easy they are.
I thought later on in the game things would get more difficult but these bosses are just so easy.
>>334770085
It's the canon weapon
>>334769571
>>334769761
Greatsword it is.
Any good boss weapons in terms of STR?

It was never too far behind my Heavy Greatsword in damage and it was nice to carry as a lighter alternative and pokey moveset.
Those flaming R2s are nice.
This guy was basically Raime 2.0, fun boss.
Gonna try to Katana parry him when I get there with my 2nd char.
str/faith build viable?
>>334746097
Bro. BRO.
You haven't seen anything yet. Play DaS1 and then talk to me about arrows.
>>334770142
Dunno, I found Aldrich and Pontiff to be plenty challenging. Probably because I main a claymore.
I do not understand why people are struggling on the Dancer though - she's a cool fight, but not so difficult so as to require 2 summons and 5 attempts.

I'm about to beat the game with STR/Faith.
Seems that it's only really useful for buffs
>>334769350
use the L1 man, double sword DOUBLE HIT
>>334770575
For PvE? Extremely viable. You can survive longer and you can have more utility in your arsenal between bonfires.
For PvP? It's completely shit.
>>334768105
The smaller greatswords (Claymore/Butcher Knife/Murakumo/Executioner's Greatsword) are all outclassed by the straight swords in this game since they do identical damage once upgraded but the straight swords have much better tracking and speed.
The ultra greatswords are pretty good like they always have but real men use huge clubs.
>>334770781
Yeah man, I am. I love the weapon, but they're complete shit against anyone competent or any boss really.
>>334770723
Dancer has a weird floaty moveset that punishes chain rolls easily.
It's not that unexpected.
>>334770575
Oh yes.
There's some weird looking spear that scales with faith in cathedral of the deep.
It might only have B scaling if you go heavy though. It's still viable for pve though.
I got my character to lvl 100 and now I can't invade or get invaded anymore.
Did I fuck up? Only people with the same lvl as mine can get invaded by me right?
So is the Carthus bloodring worth using? Does it make you take considerably more damage?

bloodring is the best ring in the game. it makes light armor no shield melee feel op for once
>mfw invading in the irithyll dungeon with obscuring ring
honestly I love the hell outta the astora greatsword. what should I infuse it with? heavy if I'm str? or should I respec to use it sexier? apparently it has S scaling with lightning

what about the milkring?

Guess I'll have to make room, and make a choice between increased critical attacks, or improved estus.
>>334738254
>being this trash
Fuck, Black Knight Greatsword atk starts at 156 dmg at lvl 0.
Too bad it can't be infused.
Since luck is in the game is there an equivalent to the Blueblood Sword?
So am I fucked in terms of getting watchdog's rank 3 since i'm too high level? I'm currently lvl44 and using a +3 halberd. Or can I farm that shit in the future? Also what's the most active lvl for invasion as an Aldrich faithful?
>>334738427
You get the broadsword literally in the first 10 minutes, and while I used it for the entire game, it's far from broken
>>334771347
i think the milkring is visual change only, but it looks cool so i sport it and the dex dont hurt either
>>334754314
what level are you?
>>334739475
It's just a meme. A week ago everyone on /v/ was a katana fag.

Anri's sword + Hollow Ring.
Anri's scales with luck, Hollow Ring increases attack based on your luck stat.
>>334748004
Mein neger, I used that combo too
>>334768306
Should have used a straight sword my man
>>334771428
you do realize that you can only invade other twinks in this game as a twink right? You can only be matched with players who have upgraded a weapon +- 2 your own highest weapon ever owned.
How's the Rapier in PvP?
>>334771728
yeah I know, it's fucking stupid
but I'm too far gone now
>>334758380
did someone really need a summon for deacons?
>>334762115
Beat this fuckhead wearing literally rags and twohanding a great club. There are a good few moves you can punish with an r1, like the jump attack and those wide swings with crazy tracking, but that fucking kick every time. Just roll more than you need to and always assume he's going to do the kick after a combo and learn the right time to roll out of being knocked down, as being on the ground gives you a decent grace period of invincibility.
>>334771428
How did you get past abyss watchers?
I'm legitimately curious.
Can't you only use the club at level 1 and a short sword or two or am I missing something?
>>334771835
>it's fucking stupid
I'd argue otherwise really.
It was a smart way of curbing the issue.
>kill this boss easily
>have more problems with the giant rat dogs
These things animations are bugged to shit.
>>334738254
I did this today but without shield and used an ultra greatsword.
>>334768306
fucking epic
>>334740271
This has to be a prank. It can't be that good
I beat the Pontiff on like the second try, but Aldritch wrekt my shit good
>>334762512
I find if you spam dodge when you're caught in the multihit, the time between the end of the charge and the slash he does at the end is just enough for a buffered roll to save you from the slash. The multihit charge doesn't do too much damage, at least compared to all his other shit.
>>334771951
Clearing to Oceiros and Nameless King is some of the most not fun I've ever experienced in video games.
>>334771915
Summons.
>>334771915
raw broadsword and magic weapon, you can stunlock phase 1 pretty easy just by mashing
phase 2, you just have to be careful and bait his long-range attacks for a punish
>>334771941
it's only an issue for hackers, if I beat the game at SL1 then I've earned the right to invade anybody
>>334762115
I did it with Raime's sword, one hit at a time only attacking when there's a big opening after his 3 hit combo.
Learn some patience.
>>334739610
imo orinsteins legs look better with silver chest
>>334771891
>learn the right time to roll out of being knocked down
I fucking hated that on some fights, the reflex is to roll asap and get moving but the punish is always waiting to track and hit the end of that roll.
>>334745010

>if I get carried through the game at SL1 then I've earned the right to invade anybody
Not really, you're a giant faggot and you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm glad from decided to stop faggots like you from ruining other people's games.
Well I tried grinding for Proof of Concords by killing the silver knights while seeing if I could get summoned but that didn't seem to happen.
Seriously what the fuck how am I supposed to get the remaining 16 proofs I need for the stupid miracle.
>>334757864
I can confirm that the broadsword is the strongest longsword and longswords are crazy good. I leveled all weapons to +10 and infused them with refined gems and it beats anything else there is with its DPS. A few greatswords and most ultra greatswords do more damage however due to how slow they are the DSP is lower. I just shot through NG+ in 5 hours all bosses down with it.
>>334766721

If you upgrade too much everyone else has earned the right to not deal with your shit.
Underlevelled I never had a problem with, it's the overgearing that went with it that caused problems.
>>334772073
I haven't summoned yet, I'd offer proof but I have none and you'd just call me a liar anyway
>>334772232
nice meme
>find a nice weapon
>realize it can't be infused
Fucking why
All I wanted was to use the Executioner's Greatsword and FROM decides to shit it up again. It's like they're forcing us to only use straight swords.

>>334772497
>buh buh nobody can beat the game solo SL1 it's impossible!
literally you, I've solo SL1'd DeS and DaS, DS3 is by far the easiest to manage
>>334772561
How does that make the game shit? Are you that bad?
>>334772260
Is there enough upgrade material in NG to at least +10 2 or 3 weapons? So far I barely have a +10 claymore and I am considering switching to something more agile for pvp, but do not want to go to NG+ - and in fact can't, since I am in the Castle
You guys don't actually rely on shields, do you?
>tfw you beat the giant crystal lizard at the start of the game.
>>334772684
you can farm chunks at the dragon temple, you get 5 slabs if you do it right (1 from seigward, 2 in dragon temple, 1 in lothric, 1 as a trade for the unlimited use homeward bone in the dark firelink shrine)

My nigga. Eastern Armor is my favorite in the series.
>>334773020
No, Dark Souls 3 is the hardest of the DS games by far. The only reason some people find it easy is because they've spent -a lot- of time playing the others.
>>334772279
Different people in the world, believe it or not. Some people do, some people don't. Who am I to judge.That aside, you are dumb as rock, holy shit.

Is there a benefit to doing so? I like how my small shield looks.
>>334772941
Because great swords are actually good this time around
>>334772971
are you retarded? im complaining about the match making filtering your weapon enchants so you cant invade people with +0 weapons if yours is 3+.
im the one doing the invading stop being a retarded nigger

oh carry on then :^)
I want off this ride

I prefer fists (claw specifically) > rapiers >curved >kat >daggers
I'm not sure how much the parry window changes with them in 3. Not had much time to test crap.
Wait, I thought they made it so all armor are viable options?
Right? Its all trade offs but there is no armor "better" than another
>>334772152
Coming straight from bloodborne to this, it was hard to get used to the fact that you can't be hit right after being knocked down.
>>334773648
where the fuck did you hear that?
>>334773648
There is no better armor because it's all useless.
is there any way to disable the x-axis autocorrect
im using M+KB since for the first time ever its usable without fifteen unstable macros, but the camera centering is totally unhelpful
>>334773648
The lightest armour is better than damn near everything because Vit is pretty much a wasted stat for little mitigation from armour.
Enough for comfort and fashion.
>>334773795
wasn't that what made Dark Souls 1 so revolutionary is that all armor sets, because of weight and different resistances made all armor viable options once fully upgraded?
Same thing with weapons since they all have different movesets, speeds, and damage types?
It just depends on who/what you are fighting for what constitutes "better" or "best"
>>334773931
>not sacrificing everything for fashion
Get a load of this fag
>>334773974
what no
that was never the case in any dark souls game, there has always been superior armor
and its always fucking HAVELS
>straight swords have always been great
>shitters only complaining about it now, even for pve
>>334772543
It's really embarrassing, really.
Is the only way to efficiently dualweild is through those paired weapons? It feels awkward and inefficient to alternate between R1 and L2 when trying to attack with two straight swords.
>Isn't that what made dark souls revolutionary, you can upgrade armor
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GETTING THIS SHIT
NAKED PVP WAS A THING IN DARK SOULS BECAUSE ARMOR WAS COMPLETELY FUCKING USELESS

Not sure how to feel. I enjoy it for the PvE challenge in every game, but I also do it to get summoned and trash bosses for people while sporting my cool ass endgame gear like a special snowflake. Now I'm not sure if I want to bother.
>>334738427
That's not the dark sword
Is there a decent amount of NPC summons? I'm on a pirated copy and want the option to have in case I run into difficulty with a boss or area.
>>334774967
You can still twink enough for it to be noticeable. Vitgouge, elemental infusion+spell buff, take it to +2 and enjoy shitting on everything.
so are watchdogs only viable early game? Is there an area late game like belfry sol?

Disgusting.
>>334754339

Any good weapons for pyromancers? Everything seems to suck shit.
>>334775654
I think I might do that. Every twink I've ever ran is an experiment in "how far can I get til I give up?"
So this one'll be "how far can I get on a lowbie with a +2 weapon?"Haven't finished the game yet, I'm at Dragonslayer, but Christ will I be dreading Aldrich/Pontiff when I do my twink run
>>334775884
every souls game I go STR Male first playthrough, DEX Female second playthrough, and third is whatever hot gimmick like faith or bloodtinge.
