- Reading: Dark Souls 3 Enemies
There's a lot of talk of bosses, but what about enemies?
What designs did you like?
Dislike?
Which did you enjoy fighting the most?
Which gave you the most trouble?And why was it these faggots?
>>334893853
Those snake guys at dragons peak
I had one stun locked to fuck, hitting him in the back, and then out of nowhere his neck recoils backwards and he swallows me whole while he was still facing the other direction
pretty neat, wasnt even mad
>>334893982
That entire lead up to the dragon mountain was a nightmare.
>mfw Consumed King's Garden
>>334894627
probably these assholes so far
they're weird, they're big and super agressive, they obscure the camera if you get too close, and their damage is pretty serious for when you're just starting out
also not a fan of those spear-wielding knights
>>334893853
lol, this was one of easiest enemies in dark souls 3.
Those skeleton with dual weapon & throwing dagger is the hardest.
>>334895717
Those ones are easy. Strafe endlessly and hit when they get close. They don't have erratic movement and a barely telegraphed grab like the OP fags do.
>>334895717
>>334896036
>This enemy is hard
>Nah that enemy was fucking easy
Every souls thread
>>334893982
I just got done with this area and I'm going to have to agree, at least so far. Those snake men are no fucking joke. They'd be a lot less of a problem if it wasn't so tricky to actually get one on one fights with them, though.
>>334894627
>>334895148
use fire
>>334893853
I think there are too many enemies that have grabs.
>>334895717
It's not a matter of difficulty.
They're just poorly constructed.
Their grab follows you around for like 3 whole seconds, and they're fast as shit.
>>334893853
they are fuckheads cus they dont stop fuckin jumping on you
skeletons are cool
>>334893853
>This enemy quite literally rides your face and rubs it's crotch all over it
Why boner
>>334894627
these cunts dont stop fukkin attacking, its fucked that they put one on the roof when you are about to hit the first winged knight
>>334894627
whats the lore of em
Also fuck demon ruins goat men and anything wielding trees
>>334896519
symbiote in dark souls universe
fuckin venom man
I love the new mechanic of defeating a difficult enemy then immediately getting ambushed right after
sup nigger
get at me
>>334896632
sure lemme just get my bow and lure you out of the mud were you're easy as shit.
>>334893853
Worst enemies in the game:
Those metro sexual sayter faggots in OPs pic.
The ass hole Jailers, just annoying and tedious.
Fucking dogs, goddamn dogs.
I have not killed a single giant crab and I have 2 guys about to move into NG+
Those little faggot thiefs that jump from walls, fuck those guys.
The mini ice dancers, fucked me up bad my first play through.
Ninja undeads. Calm the fuck down.
Everything else was aight.
>>334893853
That fuck.
>Strolling along the poison swamp like any other day
>spot one of these uncharacteristically without a weapon
>Ok
>moving in.
Suddenly got a face full of crotch and a YOU DIED.
Not that bad once the surprise wears off though.
I've got more problem with the character randomly kicking instead of a regular attack than any single monster so far. Stunlocking most things is easy as heck, so as long as you can manage to fight everything 1 on 1 there is little problem.
>>334894627
These fuckers are harder than the bosses, good thing they're weak to firebombs or they'd be a nightmare.
>>334896621
i love the new mechanic of if an enemy is too easy put 3 of them at once
those long neck fuckers at the dragon place, especially the bigger ones
FUCK they arent even hard but they are annoying as fuck just how they are designed
dont stretch your neck at me faggot fuck off
>>334894627
>Firebomb
>5 hit combo while its stunned
>Back away
>Firebomb
>5 hit combo while its stunned
>dead
Fire really cripples some of the nastier enemies in this game.
>>334896689
what's even better is luring them to stand on top of a fire. They die in a few seconds and you can just dodge the flying skulls while they burn up. Just make sure you keep baiting their attacks to keep them standing still.
Is it mo or do dogs get more and more bullshit each game?
I'm just glad there aren't that many in late game.
>>334896632
>>334896689
Out of the mud and into the fire, where it gets stunlocked by itself. I barely have to do anything.
GIANT
ENEMY
CRAB
>>334893853
I hate all these command grabs
The unarmed naked Ghrus are probably the worst-designed enemies in the entire game. Any time you hit them they just immediately jump and trio to mario-stomp you. This gets fucking stupid for the ones in the Demon Ruins that jump through the ceiling to do it. Hit, roll out, step in, hit, roll out, repeat until zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
Everything bigger than a rock-basic Hollow in DaS 3 is a gigantic pile of plate-spinning auto-tracking lolpoising bullshit. FROM wasn't even trying with this one.
Dogs are and will always be the worst enemy in a souls game
>>334896632
Worst enemy in the game by a landslide. Two things would have made them substantially easier, either make them roam around where you can fast roll, or get rid of the Logarius skulls.
>>334896632
That one spot where three of them are guarding a treasure, fuck me. Kiting them helps but they're still a pain in the dick with constant ghost skulls comboing with "eat tree" attack.
>>334896752
>The mini ice dancers, fucked me up bad my first play through.
Those are harder than the BOSS Dancer. Every time I saw one I had to second guess whether I wanted to bother with what they were protecting.
>>334897058
>Logarius skulls
It's only one trillion skulls
>>334896923
Fucking dogs.
Either you manage to hit you or it feels like they fucking frame trap you while you struggle to roll or attack
>>334896961
>Kiting them out of the water just makes them tunnel back further in
i stopped having problems with enemies after the swamp because of dat hidden body.
>not going 15 int for hidden body and running past all that bullshit
any enemy is hard when you're forced into mud, water, posion or backed into tight spaces and tight corners or off ledges.
>>334893853
i fucking HATE those dagger wielding man serpents in the dragon area. that fucking combo is ridiculous.
they're easy to 1v1 but when you're just trying to run past them to get to the ledge for the dragon's head they can be extremely annoying.
Those spider-like Aldritch ring dropping monsters were great.
>>334897190
AND they get all their hp back
>>334897058
>>334897128
>Hey guys we have another gigantic humanoid that swings a really big weapon, how do we make this one 'hard'?
>Put it in the middle of a swamp to rape the player's mobility and defeat all of the dodging mechanics we've been building around all series?
>Yeah, sure, but we need something more
>I dunno, just have it constantly shitting out homing skulls every moment that it's engaged, lol?
>BRILLIANT
>>334893853
>die to one of those
>it keeps jumping on my corpse
>instantly reminded of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EF5h6WJAq4
>>334893853
>runs at me and grabs
>roll through, standing behind enemy 3-5 feet away
>get grabbed and die in one grab despite mashing r1 and l1.
>come back
>he jumps up in the air
>roll
>3 seconds later he comes down and 1-shots me
fuck this game
>>334893853
>perfect tracking on every attack
>sweeps sweeps sweeps sweeps
>shields that can perfectly block every attack regardless of strength and never break
Why
I genuinely want to know what this brings to the game
Thoses Gaping Dragons-like lizards.
>>334897186
I've had them Tokyo drift and attack me through a locked on block. Not to mention the negative frame attack startups that they and a lot of other enemies have too.
>>334897310
That's why I don't even feel bad about using arrows
Too many re-used enemies. I'm tired of fighting over-sized people with big swords, slimes, and dogs.
Does Lothric Castle and the Profaine Capital have anything fun, at least?
>>334896519
Their humanity is running wild similar to manus.
Only happens in 3 since its been much longer than 1 in terms of linking the fire.
>>334897058
Roll into them. Works 90% of the time. Just make sure you aren't rolling into a fucking trunk-stomp.
Learning to roll into shit in Bloodborne has vastly improved my survival rate that my first playthrough is shieldless.
The Jailers are annoying.
The silver knights kill me a lot because they're ever so slightly different from dark souls and they always fuck me because I get cocky.
Those giant maggot monsters when you don't have a fire weapon.
THE GOD DAMN FAT PILGRIM GRANDMAS WITH THE GIANT SPIKED MACES
>>334897437
Profane Capital has gargoyles, and Lothric Castle hasthe exact same enemies you fought in High Wall except they do more damage for some reason
>>334897437
Knights and big dudes and mimics
>>334897047
They wouldn't be so bad if poise mattered. That could be said of a lot of things in this game but it especially bothers me with the dogs. Before I could just walk right up to them in Elite Knight or whatever, let them nip at my heels while I slash away. Now even a nuzzle will stagger me, AND they're even more erratic and aggressive than they've ever been.
>>334897437
Lothric Castle is mostly hollows + knights.
Profaned Capital just have uglies as fuck Gargoyles and witches
>>334894627
I've encountered these dudes but I'm yet to kill one in that form.
Either die to it early on, and later just kill them before they turn.
>>334893853
Goat rapist is literally fucking broken bullshit.
Seriously man. Harder stakes than any boss.
>>334897531
This. I sucked at rolling when I played DeS/DS1/DS2. Since I played Bloodborne though, it's like I can fucking see the frames.
>>334893853
My favorite enemy is either the camera or the lock on system. Easily died to both of those more than anything else. They have a lot of the same attacks, so it's hard to choose.
The fucking Crocodiles.
>>334897661
I sold my shield after the second boss and just resolved to git gud.
Died a fuck ton.
But I have gitten the gud. Relatively.
I mean I can dodge most attacks.
>>334897437
Profaned is shockingly tiny with only gargoyles, pyro wardens, arm spiders, a fat hand headed fucker that steals souls, and a pope guy for no raisin.
>>334897573
the altitude
>>334897572
The nanas wouldn't be bad but almost every single one is either crammed into a tiny closet so your swings are bouncing off walls while theirss sail through them and there is no room to dodge, or they have fifteen fucking adds.
>>334897419
Those are one of the best-designed monsters in the whole game.
>Cool looking
>Absolutely steamroll you when you first meet one
>Fun, tense and satisfying to fight once you get the hang of them.
For the record, their attacks are fairly easy to dodge by rolling sideways, and they telegraph the nastier swipes pretty well.
>>334897572
>THE GOD DAMN FAT PILGRIM GRANDMAS WITH THE GIANT SPIKED MACES
Early game nightmares. Once you're leveled they ain't shit, but they will always have a special place in my clenched asshole.
Like 90% of the enemies in Smouldering Lake are annoying as fuck. Especially those faggots that can spawn seemingly an infinite number of fireball spawning orb things.
Crabs are bullshit.
Wheel skeletons are actually okay now and not total bullshit garbage.
Those giant spider wolf monsters or whatever they were were great and reminded me a bit of the larger beasts in Bloodborne.
I have mixed feelings about the Pontiff Knights but generally they were pretty neat.
Also mixed feelings about the Evangelist / Fat lady official enemies but generally they were well designed and once you realize which of their attacks have delays they're not that hard to deal with.
I know this is a thread about enemies but
>Find black pyro tome
>"Oh man of jeez can't accept this, is evil mahn"
>Ok
>Find Quelana tome
>"Haha oh gosh you're gonna hate this, but I'm not a girl I can't read this lol"
>.....
This faggot is fucking useless, who do I give these too then?
Let's settle this once for all
http://strawpoll.me/7422806/
>>334897968
You find someone in the Irithyll dungeons who can help you with that later.
>>334894627
>have undead rapport
>Use it on Crusader looking knight
>Des vult!
>>334897573
The red-eye greatsword knights that instagib you at 1000 HP are pretty nice. Especially when their little buttbuddies are full-healing them and giving them super-buffed defense.
But hey, at least neo-FROM threw us a bone by having that one room where the knights hard-leash on the entranceway.
Fucking laziest piece of shit excuse for a Souls game ever. Yet even a godawful Souls game is better than most vidya these days.
>>334897780
The popes uniform is baller though, good reason to go through that place.
>>334897931
This, and the little fire demons in Smouldering lake.
The game went suddenly from okay to flustrating really fast
>>334897750
>went through game #noshield from start
>got to dancer
>spamming massive aoes nonstop
>only break between combos is to punch the ground so I have no chance to attack
>try a shield
>immediately win
Shields completely trivialize some of these bosses, I really missed out.
>>334897937
Everyone says smouldering lake was hard.
I found it really easy.
Hell the crabs aren't hard to beat either.
The flame fags can be stun-locked easy, and their attacks are easily telegraphed aside from the flamethrower one.
>>334894627
Stay behind them and watch their hand, they're not hard.
>>334897064
theres a spot just near the trio where you can shoot them to death with a bow 100% safely
>>334897974
>Sorcery 0%
That's it I'm gonna make an Int character and blow you PvP fags the fuck out.
Just wait.
>>334897931
HAHAHA INFINITE STAMINA, I ATTACK FOREVER.
The games difficulty takes a huge spike when you hit Boreal.
>>334897426
why would you? Bows are in the game for a reason
Honestly the faggot armored slime dudes who take 5 damage from physical weapons. Fire fucks 'em up but I'm usually too lazy to carry a bunch of firebombs around.
>>334897006
>>334897410
Oy vey, can't say anything bad about Bloodbou- I mean Dark Souls 3, anon! Think of the 6 gorrillion sales!
>>334897190
I was watching my brother play and he went sorcerer and the crabs look fucking impossible to kill with any sort of magic that isn't wildly OP for the area. If you just try and use magic they burrow super fast. They can be 10 feet from their spawn and they'll burrow if you hit it with a couple soul arrows.
>>334898286
Because none of the enemies can cope with it except bosses
>>334898239
>>334898072
interesting cos i found the lanky faggots from OP much worse than anything on Irithyl
The stupid wolf enemy you fight two of down that ladder in Anor Londo are my most hated Soulsborne enemy ever. Fuck them and their huge health pool and damage output
In my opinion the really only bullshit, unfun enemy to fight are the Giant Crabs
>Take no damage
>Fast as fuck
>Hit like trucks
Nothing about them is fun.
Runner up goes to the Jailers. An enemy who I still do not know what From was thinking when they made them. Yes, lets punish the player for even attempting to fight them.
Third place go to the Dogs who are still bullshit
>>334896516
All but those in Consumed King's Garden can be killed before they transform
>>334898017
I wish we had more spells like this, or the game had more unique scenarios around the game. Like you could lure a group of monsters into another group and have them duke it out.
>>334898383
Pretty sure they borrow if you are on inaccessable land. If you stay in the swamp they won't burrow
>>334898239
They have literally no poise, I stunlocked them with a shitty +6 estoci and 16 str 18 dex
>those rolling fatties with fingers instead of a head
>>334893853
lets be honest this game is littered with bullshit enemies.
>jumping satyrs that stun lock you in an endless grab cycle
>giant gaping dragon dogs that turn on a dime
>jailers that drain your HP, and can instant kill grab you
>red eye knights with infinite stamina that can shield bash for days
>archers with homing arrows that send you flying back 10 feet
>bosses that literally insta kill you whenever the RNG feels like it
>90% of chests are mimics that can drop kick you for almost all your health
once I beat this game I'm never touching this bullshit again.
>>334898441
only shit i ever gave up on in this game was that bullshit.
>>334898079
Sometimes they make bosses/enemies harder though. I resolve myself to a UGS and Greatshield run my first playthrough of every Souls game, but in 3 I've been tempted to stop several times. I still roll, my equip load is under 70%, but when I do keep my shield up, more aggressive enemies take down stamina like nothing, even with an upgraded Black Iron Greatshield. A lot of the problem stems from not getting out of the shield animation until a second or so has gone by, so once you block, you HAVE to continue blocking if the enemy is attacking fast enough.
In Nameless King pt. 1, when the drake breathes fire straight down, holding my shield up actually kills me, because the flames go through the shield, damaging me a bunch while draining my stamina and stunning me, then the flames keep going and hit me yet again at full strength. I'm at Soul of Cinder and the baseball combo destroys my anus if I block the first strike.
>>334898567
Just pull one at a time like any other encounter
>>334898441
>>334898567
I killed one, but cannot fucking down the second one. I just gave up on it.
>>334898383
Magic is good at the very start, but it quickly goes downhill afterwards. They haven't updated the casting speed to deal with the faster pace of the game, and the damage scaling on spells are atrocious. I mean, they're fucking terrible.
There is no reason whatsoever to use magic except for Rapport and the weapon buffing spells.
>>334898560
this is the only souls game where i only got tricked by mimics once, they're everywhere it spoils the fun
>>334898554
>fighting two at once
>they spam the grab&lick attack over and over
Jesus Christ make it stop
>>334898560
None or very little are bullshit. Just because they gave you a hard time doesn't mean that anything is bad.
Oh you want to kick my shield? Let me read your input and counter with a shield bash instead :^)
>>334893853
I dunno about you guys, but i'd fuck those satyr tentacle head monsters.
>>334898591
The baseball combo has a massive tell he's going to do it and is meant to be dodged backward in rythm
>>334898560
All that is true.
But mimics are easy to deal with, just put them to sleep.
>>334898749
Just smash these dudes through their "shield".
those unrelenting enemies that offer seemingly no opportunities at breaking off from the fight to make space and recollect yourself are the worst
I forgot what they're called.
They just sort of keep swinging at you constantly then when you roll or something they just close that gap again and keep swinging some more.
its pissing me off not knowing their name, anyone know?
>>334896632
These things reminded me of Bear In The Big Blue House.
>>334898591
Shields get a lot better if you equip the Cloranthy ring and let go of the block button immediately after each hit and just-defend the strikes. Get in their face, strafe to one side, and if you just-defend the stamina regen between blocks will see you through most combos if you've invested a decent amount into END.
It's still shitty and un-fun, but it works.
>>334898749
Stanced weapon art shield break attack with straight swords works wonders against every enemy that blocks.
>>334897572
silver knights threw me the fuck off when i noticed the parry timing was a millisecond different
>>334897931
these guys making my invasions infinitely easier.
>>334898863
you play garou?
>>334898785
My unkindled
>>334897931
These guys were kicking my ass, and with their gigantic aggro range and homing spell, they're a pain from any range. At least they die easy.
Fun and memorable, but they seem to be designed to piss me off.
I got used to the knights in the boreal valley but the one with a scythe i just can't even begin to understand how you're supposed to beat it without stunlocking his ass, he can attack all around him with deceptive timing
and they frosbite too because fuck you
>>334898939
Among other fighting games with the same mechanic, yes.
>>334894627
>Top of the castle
>Everything suddenly hits like a truck and absorbs three times as much damage for no fucking reason
>>334896752
I killed one giant crab by cheesing it with drop slashes
No regrets
>>334898991
whats your favourite fg?
>>334898560
>jumping satyrs that stun lock you in an endless grab cycle
The fact that they grab you is a cue to stop blocking and start rolling.
>giant gaping dragon dogs that turn on a dime
The ones down the ladder? I hve no argument here, their health is too massive and they seem to have a 360 attack range.
>jailers that drain your HP, and can instant kill grab you
Visual cues, what are they?
>red eye knights with infinite stamina that can shield bash for days
"I still haven't discovered that enemies with shields should be faced with 2handing"
>archers with homing arrows that send you flying back 10 feet
Homing is a bit too much, but it's not like there's nowhere to hide.
>bosses that literally insta kill you whenever the RNG feels like it
10 vig and proud!
>90% of chests are mimics that can drop kick you for almost all your health
Oh yes, they definitely got carried away with the amount of mimics.
So is the hardest part about being a Sorcerer in this game finding all of the cryptic hidden bullshit? Because that's the way it should be.
A lot of enemies after Irithyll really pissed me off
-Those assholes with scythes who have infinite stamina
-Those asshole fire mages who shoot you through walls
-The crocodile wolf demon thing, especially the duo
-Jailers. That room with TEN FUCKING JAILERS WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!
-Red eyed Blue Lothric Knights with healers who buff them
-Flying fat men trio on the roof
-Pretty much everything in Archdragon Peak, ESPECIALLY that faggot who kept summoning NPCs
Also the one OP posted as well as >>334894627
Say what you want about Dark Souls going to shit after Anor Londo, but I can't remember a single enemy in there that frustrated me like any of the above
>>334898591
>A lot of the problem stems from not getting out of the shield animation until a second or so has gone by, so once you block, you HAVE to continue blocking if the enemy is attacking fast enough.
I feel like From tried to make the game more difficult without adding the fun part to it. DS1 had easy enemies that you just sidestrafed and backstabbed, DS2 decided to add tracking to stop that, but they were still predictable and did their combos.
In DS3, enemies are hyper aggressive and unpredictable as fuck, and they still track as badly as DS2. It's like they took the pace from BB and put it into Souls without giving the player the right tools to combat that. It ends up feeling cheap. In fact, I think almost every enemy in the game feels cheap.
The more I play DS3 the more I want to play the previous games instead. Why the fuck would you make it more like Bloodbourne?
>>334898838
Yeah they've been fucking with me in every area so far.
>>334897225
>that narrow bridge
the amount of times they pull in packs makes this encounter fucking annoying as shit
>walk up to starting area enemies with full set of Smough armor
>get stunlocked by a dagger
>interrupts left and right
>damage difference is barely noticeable
>3+ enemies with daggers can literally stunlock you to death
great mechanics
>>334899062
>Roll out of the way of Satyr
>It's gone
>It falls from the sky and grabs me
>>334898748
DaS 3 enemies are constantly turntable-spinning, attacking through walls, and abusing (near-)limitless stamina and the two-hit poise reset.
They're all doable, but they're the worst-designed enemeis in the series by far. There is an inexcusable amount of genuinely lazy "lol this shud be hard" nonsense going on in this game.
>>334896923
Dogs are fucking rape machines this time around
>tfw 3 of them mercilessly groundpound me
>>334898809
I know but it's hard to break 40 hours worth of instincts that has (mostly) worked. Plus I'm dedicated to UGS, it'd feel wrong to give up on it at the last second, so I'm constantly getting countered.
>>334898863
I never found the Cloranthy ring, nor the Grass Crest Shield, and I usually do block one hit at a time, but sometimes the attacks just come too fast.
>>334898838
What, the fuckers with crosses on their backs in the swamp?
The skeleton ninjas with shotels that causes Bleed?
Every single fucking knight?
>Have enough poise to tank 2h Katana spam for about 2 hits in PVP
>An enemy with a dagger staggers me with one hit
>A rat staggers me with one hit
>Bump into a fragile hollow with no weapons
>He swings a punch at me
>I stagger
What the fuck man
>>334899063
The hardest part about being a sorcerer is that sorcery is basically trash and requires a huge investment in levels and equipment to even approach being as effective as anything else.
>>334893853
I fucking hate those things. First time through Farron Keep and they'll hit for 3/4 or all of your HP with a flying kick, or grab you with their broken ass hitboxes
On a side note, can a person in NG+ be summoned by a person in NG with password matching?
>>334893853
Those fucking tree Cleric beasts on the fucking poison swamp
>>334897572
I really liked the fat grandmas because I got raped by the first one, but then acquired proficiency and now they never hit me anymore, despite still being a decent challenge
>>334899248
Glad its not just me
These guys in packs tend to fuck me over sometimes.
>>334899256
If you wanna play as a mage, just start out as a pyromancer. Sorcerer is only good for pissing you off.
>>334899248
>Have enough poise
>poise
It doesn't exist anymore famalam
>>334899080
You forgot the skeleton ninjas.
>That room with TEN FUCKING JAILERS
You were designed to avoid them. You go forward to the room with mutant babies, then to another room, and then you're out on the other side of the chamber. You weren't supposed to fight them.
>>334893853
>jumps like a faggot to almost instakill you mario style
>instakills you like a faggot when constantly trying to grab you when hes not jumping like a crackhead
>runs like a crackhead and never seems to stop chasing you, his AI range is everywhere
Fuck From for making this enemy. I dread this enemy more than the abyss watcher fight.
>>334898861Can you explain why?
>>334899219
the joke he's making is that he described almost every enemy
>>334899269
Probably. You can get summoned for NG+ from NG without one.
Don't mind me, I'm just trivializing every non-boss enemy in the game in combination with my buddy, the footstep squelching ring.
>>334896923
They are bitches in this game though.
Just use fire and they will roll around on their backs to put it out while you can slowly take your time and kill them.
>>334899343
its a number on the status screen, it's there!
>>334899343
>Get hit by greatsword of curved faggotry
>Doesn't stagger me
Explain
Poise literally only exists in player versus player scenarios, npc enemies seem to ignore it entirely.

It had flaws, but goddamn I liked LotF. Would love to see a actual sequel with content.
>>334899062
the bosses and enemies are too eratic that I end up getting tunnel vision plus the camera is all over the fucking place. Even the enemies in bloodborne had slower attacks then this shit.

Is this just the nature of the series near launch?
Or has Dark Souls 3 attracted so many normies that they can't even make it to Vordt without an entire battalion to back them up?
>>334899337
Yeah pyromancy is fun, but I'm just saying int-based sorcerer is just hot garbage.
>>334899367
What if I want to rescue Karla?
I'd say the worst enemy is sequence breaking and missing shit.
I mean, I'd think I would have learned my lesson from the previous two games but I still fucked up tonnes of content the first time around.
There was this bleak moment where Firelink was exceptionally empty and I knew I had fucked up hard.
>>334899463
Poise only activates mid animation so your attacks don't get interrupted as often. Don't expect to poise through an anvil-sized hammer though.
>>334899367
Cant fight the mimic without aggroing the jailers.
>>334899561
slumbering dragoncrest ring + backstabs
There's a reason they move in a conga line.
>>334897931
I literally farmed them for easy souls, they were really easy to kill with a great club
>>334899561
Then provoke some of them with firebombs and wait behind a corner to attack.
>>334899557
Or they play with friends, because co-oping is fun.
>>334899561
Can still avoid them, easily. You can even release that fast Jesus fucker and lure him out, and he will fuck up the jailers for you.
>>334899561
You just run past them to the side cells or the covered part of the walkway, etc.
Or you can be a fucking pimp, time their little parade, then snipe the one in the back before zoidberging away to an alcove, raping him to death, then doing the same thing to his 9 fuckbuddies.

>>334899193
this.
I was having fun the first few areas but these later ones are really annoyingly hard. Like why does there have to be mages buffing the red eye knight with the two hander who then sharpens his sword for even MORE damage. Like come on your just asking me to sit there for 10 minutes picking at him with a bow.
Do we have some designated PVP soul level yet?
Is there a webm similar to https://youtu.be/A-4-QcCKhvE?list=PL_QtSMEGimbwflhD7mKuYKSCSodQx0Dd1&t=124 yet? I know the guy is a complete retard but holy shit.
Also
>enemy related is best enemy
The entire farron keep fucked me pretty hard.
Its the bottom of blight town without the rusted iron ring.
Come to think of it that makes it almost like the swamp in demon's.
Except the enemies are way worse and you are supposed to run across it to find 3 specific slots
The boss made up for it though. Really loved that one.
heavy weapons trivialise enemies because it
A. staggers them putting a halt to their faggotry
B. usually has a decent enough range to stop their faggotry before it comes into contact
C. does enough damage to ensure that you have as few engagements with their faggotry as possible
D. their movesets just inherently have poise sometimes? im not sure but ive been naked and done a few heavy moves with heavy weapons and expected to be jabbed out but took hits through the strike
>>334896923
They feel the same as always to me. Hold block and lightly strafe while they jump to wherever you were like two second ago. They're only trouble if you jump into a group of them, same as rats.
>>334899561
You can actually pull them 1 by 1 or 2 by 2
>>334899367
>You weren't supposed to fight them.
Of course you were dumbass, there's loot right in the middle. You're such a scrub.
>>334899618
Didn't have Orbeck at the time, and even if I did I wouldn't have bought anything because I was going no-magic.
I still managed to clear that room with a bow, lots of arrows and lots of patience but you can't tell me that whole place wasn't designed to infuriate people
>>334899809
It's annoying until you realize that poison in this game does almost nothing. Just get poisoned and go about your business.
Im not too sure why, I really got a kick out of the ones that threw their meat pots at you, after the initial mad I was giggling at how swatted I got off that bridge.
I've probably also spent the most time in that area, getting to grips with my build and the enemies.
OP's is probably my least favorite, using a slow weapon and 2 handed, they are a pain.
>>334897410
>shields dont break
nigga what
I've broken knight shields just hitting them
I've actually used shield-break weapon arts to rape shield knights

>>334899659
> that fast Jesus fucker
Was there any point to him? I must have died to him 3 or 4 times, having to waste time kiting jailers over and over just to get to him since I figure he's hiding some real sweet shit, then I finally kill him, go into his room, and it's EMPTY. What the fuck is his deal? Is it some lore thing?
>>334899875
I got cursed way more than I died through poison. Seriously did they really have put the basilisks in that swamp and then have you be invaded right there.
>>334899754
Each time I summon for a boss, we end up trading of sorts. I get focused, I go on the defense and let the bro deal damage. When he deals enough to get aggro, he starts rolling and dodging while I deal damage. Rinse and repeat.
Sucks to summon a troll though who doesn't do anything.
>>334899193
This is literally so false. How can this be said after DS2? I like DS2 but that game is FULL of what you're talking about and playing DS3 everything was a relative breeze. It is by far the fairest and best communicated souls game, no doubt.
Enemies hitting you through walls does happen, but that's always happened so maybe I just don't get mad or know that that is a possibility with some dudes.
Those fucking knights that patrol every fucking area and ice dancer-looking fuckers are the ones that give me the worst problems. Also, is it me, or do Silver Knights hit like a fucking truck in this game compare to DaS I?
>>334899890
Since I somehow missed a bonfire, I'd run from the bonfire with one of these guys next to it, over that path where the giants shoots arrows at, to the boss
More often than not I'd kill that guy for the fun, and by now I know his skills in and out
Pretty cool enemy
>>334899083
I feel the same way, Dark Souls 1 was the most comfortable for me because it was slower and I could take my time.
>>334899768
So far there's some debate over 100 or 120. 120 seems to be favored by those faggots that want to use max strength weapons and high powered armor with strong sorceries. Level 600 people from Dark Souls 2 who can't accept they can't be a god of everything anymore.
80 is the sweetspot for general invasions and PVP in all areas.
15-30 is the sweetspot for Watchdog invasions.
60-80 is the sweetspot for Mound Makers.
I'll side with SL 100 meta.
>>334897410
Hey, listen.
Twohanding your weapon makes it not bounce off shields. Any weapon.
>>334899765
Your "this" had nothing to do with your post. Those guys are only slightly harder with their buff, and it's pretty short so you should of course kill their companion ASAP.
B-team would be proud of those side bite hitboxes
>>334899765
And don't forget all the fucking retarded Doom 3 style monster closets.
Every single archer/grenadier in the game has two or three more faggots hiding around a corner, on top of a tall ledge, or over a wall right next to him so that they can try to gangbang you when you rush up there to smear that little pussy piece of shit. Every. Single. Fucking. One. Every shiny that's not already guarded by visible enemies will spawn a bunch on top of you when you go to pick it up. Every. Single. Fucking. One.
This shit gets so predictable it's embarrassing. Neo-FROM at work.
>>334899968
It's to punish you for hiding from the jailers.
>>334900065

>>334900094
This enemy has to be some remaining asset from Dark Souls 2 they didn't get to use.
>>334899557
I soloed the two dark souls except this one. When I died in das1 I felt like I needed to improve, or try a different approach. When I die in das3 it usually just feels like bullshit. Maybe I'm casul but this game just doesn't have enough legitimate challenge to make me feel accomplished when I defeat a tough enemy or boss, and certain areas are just intolerably awful with enemy placement. Pulling faggots 1 by 1 is not fun, trying to crash through an ambush with the fucked poise mechanic is not fun. More stupid mobs of enemies than das2. Co op PvP is fun as hell though.
>inb4 git gud
I got gud, this game just has a lot of questionable elements.
Where the fuck do I get more refined gems?
>>334899968
Nope. Just a nice, juicy Fuck You from neo-From. They do it several times in DaS 3.
>Those jumping enemies with shotels that use throwing daggers
The two enemies I really, really hated were the jailers that stole all of hp and apparently equip load simpily by looking at you (Is there any way to avoid this, like equip a ring, hold an item or something?) and the black things that pop out of people, they're just shittily designed, too big to see any of their attacks up close, take 1000 times fire damage and scream around for 4 seconds and throw curse at you. It's literally, have fire or get shit on because you can't see anything.
>>334900169
See, I got gud too.
But I guess I got better. Because I don't understand your fucking complaint about the enemies being bullshit. I've encountered one fucking enemy I thought was bullshit, and it's an optional fucking boss. Everything else has some way of beating it that, once you'vegotten gudtrivializes that enemy.
>>334900094
>still can't get enough of berserk references so they put this shit in the game
>make greatswords shit
>kills all guts cosplaying
The saddest thing are characters named Guts or artorias who clearly caved in and are running around with an estoc or a dark sword.
>>334900096
The mimics are pretty surprising/everywhere especially the one in the room with the stray demon.
>>334900173
You don't.
>>334896204
Different people find different things difficult. How is that hard to understand?
>>334900026
Pretty much the same. I think they are a very well designed early enemy, they look intimidating, they have good attack patterns, just well done.
>>334899972
>Summon a troll
Here's the thing
I don't think they're trolls
I got a message from one guy after I bailed, realizing he wanted me to play for him, asking why I left and that I'm an asshole for letting him get killed.
>>334893982
What do i have to do there? Am i suposed to jump off and land on the dragon?

Seriously? With a 10 Sl range there are seriously people who run towards farron keep and are only level fucking 5?
>>334900227
Run up to them before lantern turns red.
Shielded mace knights who enchant their weapon aswell ugghhhhhh
>>334900357
I don't pretend to understand why, that just seems to be what trial and error has discovered. People stop getting Watchdog invasions almost entirely after SL 30.
>>334900220
>yfw they flip through the geometry into oblivion
>>334896752
Good list, spot on.
>>334900412
Are you sure they just don't accidently upgrade their weapons too far?
Its not just SL it is also weapon upgrade level that influences invasions.
>>334900173
Pretty sure the knights near sunbro altar have a chance to drop them. May apply to other knights in vicinity especially ones wielding ultra greatswords
>>334900306
Yeah, same for the pot-bashing ones. They're rather easy to dodge and predict, but when you overextend and get caught in their bash you really feel the pain
>>334900094
Roll into the bites like the watchdog from bloodborne. Good luck with the body slam if you don't have a shield though.

Lothric Castle wasn't fun.
>>334897410
Two-hand Longsword R1 to break guards.
Or just kick the shield which does the same thing.
Okay this was pretty cruel, but it was nowhere near as bad as the time they did it in Demon's Souls.
>>334900631
Really? I had 27 vit and never got ohko'd.
>>334900626
Weird. Maybe they match up closer to their own sl and the sl 15 aren't actually invading sl 5s but other 15s.
that seems like something that will change a little while after release.
>>334900613

>>334900542
They are bullshit is what they are.
I'm considering giving up on that room. I've got the one that starts awake and drops the weapon. The other two though, I just can't take it. Do they also drop something special?
>>334900698
Why would they do this?
Just put one.
>>334900631
You mean vigor?
>>334900698
>sorcery
You mad fool.
You poor, poor mad fool.
The group of undeads locked in a single cage. I've never fought the because I'd just 1 shot them before they became active, but they're cool and kinda unsettling to watch move around
>>334900631
I really don't get it.
Why the hell does everything get a boost there? And almost all of the combat encounters are shit too.
>>334900631
If they one-shot you it probably meant you had a combination of weak armor and were hit while you were in mid-swing.
Getting hit in mid-swing adds like 50% more damage. When those assholes do a double handed swing that's been buffed you're just going to fucking die.
>>334900698
That had to be a in-joke with the devs, throwing out all those items on the ground when the only valuable item comes from the monsters themselves
>>334900748
You ain't FULL Dragon, m8
>>334900745
I don't remember where, but there's a mimic who has a different set of animations, is a lot more agressive and hits harder. It crawls around on all four.
>>334900767
Whichever raised your HP.
>>334900784
When is a wizard not a mad fool

>>334900865
I think there's some of those in Lothric Castle, definitely 1 at least.
>>334900826
Well I think that's just bullshit.

>>334900865
I didn't fight a single fucking mimic throughout the entire game. I fought them enough. I'm not going to put up with their spin-kicking bullshit again or their "I got backstabbed but I'm going to chomp this hollow anyways".
I'm somewhat sad that I missed meeting unique mimics because I stared at every fucking chest lid to see if it was breathing or not before Undead Hunter Charming that shit.
>>334900542
They're infants.
I wonder if they just threw in more and more bullshit enemies because of the abundance of bonfires.
This game is annoying and I'm kinda starting to hate it
>>334898554
What do they do? I just slowly walked away and shot them with a crossbow so they never die anything but slowly move towards me.
>those fucking baby faced things in the dungeon
>>334900754
Pretty sure they don't drop anything nearly as good.
I lured them into the hallway, that way i could beat them more or less one on one. They don't respawn either
>>334897006
And we thought Dark Souls 2 was bad with its tracking
>>334900542
I know they drop literal shit and look gross and I don't even want to imagine how they must smell but does anyone else find them kinda cute?
Just their movements and how they clumsily roll around?
>>334900830
>Some fucker at from thinks he's a clever bastard making all these risky pickups be alluring skulls
I GET IT
>>334901041
I always quite liked fighting mimics. They have this cartoony exaggareted telegraphs which makes dodging them easy, but they hit hard enough to fuck up your days should you get out of the rhythm.
>Theres at least a 75% chance that a chest you find in the first half of the game will be a mimic

This confused me
>>334901005
>PvE
Wait, what? I thought everybody was saying magic sucks because of PvP. I didn't think it actually sucked ass in a NG.
>>334899442
This spell makes playing as a INT caster bearable, aside from having fucking nothing to use on bosses.
>>334901024
what movie is that from?
>>334893853
I fucking suck at this game, I've tried multiple builds and armor weapon setups. So far the only setup that doesn't get me rekt every time I meet a tough enemy is Rapier+Longsword and any cloth garb.
How do I git gud?
>>334901005
I got to the dancer with magic without any problem, used a shield and simple enchanted raiper for anything small and heavy soul arrow etc for anything bigger. I haven't play past that on my mage because it got boring. Maybe it gets hard but unless it was really indoors I never had any problems.

DaS2 is still worse.
DaS3 tracking is a lot more lenient but not as lenient as das1.
I actually think I might like das3 tracking the most because DaS1 was just too easy.
>>334901087
They're slow but I think they just go in for a grab. Their locations give you very little room. Much like Mr. Mace Knight in Lothric Castle

>>334901041
They don't do that DS2 tele-grab anymore. Very easy to dodge
>>334901236
Start by not being greedy with attacking. Two hits and go on the defensive. When the enemy drains your stamina like nobody's business, roll away instead of blocking.
>>334901236
Roll around a lot an spam R1 with a straightsword
>>334901185
I respecced as a mage with 50 Int.
Trust me, it's not worth it at all. In PvP you might be able to do something, but you're going to get stomped lategame by most enemies because lol-we-bloodborne-now. You won't have a chance to use spells against the enemies you want to use spells against, because they're too aggressive.
Get a longsword, upgrade with to the max with a Raw gem, and stick with it instead.
>>334900336
The only time I've stopped fighting a boss is when I ran out of estus and had literally a sliver of hp. I think that's better than dying and letting your phantombros down.
>>334901174
You are the demon!
>>334901385
So
Magic is best used in PVP
That doesn't make it bad, it makes it situational.
>>334901236
Souls is all timing.
Its not the build it is not the weapon it is all timing. Just figure out why your rhythm is off and find it.
>>334898785
you're not wrong ashen bro

>normal slash for good measure

Wow, it's fucking nothing.
Honestly, I think the enemy variety is poor.
Too many boring enemies. No one fucking cares about those shitty knight enemies that are plastered in every fucking area.
The game also has half the enemy variety of Bloodborne. Bloodborne had tons of enemy types including the ones in the chalice dungeons. It's fucking absurd how they get away with this.
Oh and don't forget those shitty rehashed black knights, poison mushroom bugs and demon statues!
It's the least creative game so far.
HOLY SHIT AS IF IRITHYLL ITSELF WASNT HARD ENOUGH

>>334901394
No one is going to blame you for that. In fact, I had that happen to me, and the sunbro I had went super aggressive in order to draw aggro to make sur eI didn't die.
After all, if the host dies you get nothing.
>>334901426
There's only one major pvp area in the game.
Yeah, sure, it's situational alright, but what about the rest of the game? They need to buff casting speed and scaling, and then in order to balance it in pvp they just reduce the damage done to other players.
>>334900528
I don't think he's biting you, Anon.
>>334900258
I'm pissed cause being an unstoppable 90% equip load death tank is no longer possible, instead I have to roll around spammy shitty ambushes unless I pull with a bow which makes shit boring.
Multiple enemies does not always equal fun challenge. Two or three is usually okay, but the 10 fucking jailers. Come on. Maybe you're not supposed to fight them but similar encounters are everywhere and 80% of the game is anticipating ambushes and dealing with them. It's boring. Dark souls 1 did more with less, even if it was too easy. They could've expanded on the sort of intelligent approach to few enemies das1 had while improving on the idea of fighting more that das2 had.
Instead they just threw shit in wherever it was gonna be a pain in the ass and called it a day.
That's my real problem, much of the game is a pain in the ass; I just want those parts to be over so I can get to the fun parts. Except those are few and far between. Most of the bosses are alright, beginning of the game is generally alright, lothric castle and beyond is just shit.
>>334901546

NOPE, THERE IS NO TIME TO ROLL AWAY AFTER ONE OF THEM HITS YOU ONCE
WELCOME TO DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS

The Angry Red Planet.
could anyone tell me a good place to farm to try and get the Black Knight Great Sword?
>>334901579
oh hey, I played with Former K***ht earlier. Small world.
How do I get to the tower I can see from the Anor Londo lift?
>>334901839
Thanks anon.
I fucking love these old monster movies.
>>334901854
I'm pretty sure it's a 100% drop in the smouldering lake. There's an illusory wall in a pretty obvious spot in the labyrinth with a black knight behind.
Half of the complaints with this game are "It's unfair!"
>>334901543
I didn't play bloodborne but I think the enemy variety is shit too. Lothric Knights aren't even cool, they're just generic Knights. At least Baller Knights from das1 looked interesting and had the side sword.
>>334899975
Nah, people give shit to DS2 all the time, but aside from some dlc areas and the shrine of amana bullshit, most areas in DS2 were fun.
DS3 is full of bullshit, satyr have a huge agrro area and will run forever after you, and if you fight they can drop kick over and over and over and instant grab.
Even in the first areas you had those knights who can shield bash and combo all day everday.
Honestly you reach boreal valley the bullshit comes full force, instant killing enemies everwhere, fuckers who can break out a combo with poise reset and stunlock you to oblivion.
Just like dark souls was dog shit after anor londo, dark souls 3 becomes no fun allowed in boreal valley.

The link earlier is from a thread dedicated to them.

Do you remember Crystal Caves out of DaS1?
>>334896923
Fire fucks them up hard. REALLY hard.
I highly recommend imbuing a longsword with fire and keeping it in your inventory for shit like dogs and those maggot monsters. Fire fucks them up and stops all of their attacks.
>>334901854

So should I abandon my Rapier+Longsword and go londsword shield? I don't know if I'll do better with it, cause I literally cannot beat the Abyss Watchers. tried dozens of times. I guess asking help broke my rule of not using shields. But I still am trying to not use shields or summons or ranged.
What the fuck are these?
>>334901908
Rotate the tower to be high up.
Go to the bottom
Walk off the lower platform and trust that there's going to be a path there.
>>334900094
Welcome to bloodborne
Now imagine that one bite kills you and you can't use shields.
>>334901546
Just so you know, the health drain is like a cone AoE where they are looking, that's why they turn so slow. Just run behind them and hit them in the back
>>334901942
i've farmed that guy for an hour, i think i'm fucked. first time it died it did so by fallnig into the lava :c. got parts of the set though

>>334902032
Well, shit. How the fuck to they intend for me to figure that out?
>>334901639
Does the twinkling variant have better stars than the regular body stone? I'm a bit cautious about the 0 defense and negative lightning defense.
>>334896752
>Hopper enemies
Hit them until they jump, roll once, free backstab or straight up kill
>Giant crab
Move towards their face, it changes their attack pattern to a much simpler one and when they spit out water balls you get a free 2-4 hits. Simple as shit, just don't stay at their side or back.
>Dogs
Block then hit. Simple as fuck.
>Jailers
They weren't that bad until the room with 10.
That is just tedious and boring and I'm not sure what the point of the room is.
At least you only have to do it once a playthrough I guess.

Truth.
Das1 really is the best dark souls imo, challenging, fair, some bullshit but not too much, and fun. Despite its improvements, playing das3 just makes me want to play das1.
>>334902087
No shield is ok, it teaches you good rolling habits.
>I literally cannot beat the Abyss Watchers
Phase 2, I presume? It might help if you cast flash sweat. End phase 1 close to the entrance to make sure you have plenty of time for it.
>>334902087
Abyss Watchers are fun to parry, you could try that.
>>334902165
Realistically you wouldn't, probably.
I found out because there were messages floating in the air.
>>334901772
I like how he has two tutorials earlier in the game that get you prepared for him: one with an ally and a tougher one surrounded by helpful skeletons.

>>334902272
I've been on that edge countless time, but was never lucky enough to see any messages. Should have just looked that up from the get-go, because I've spent a couple of hours going through Boreal Valley looking for an entrance in every nook and cranny.
>peopel actually hated ninja skeletons
I thout they were cool as fuck.
>>334897931

just kick and visceral
>>334902269
My first run I completed every area in one go, not counting boss deaths. Missed every NPC quest because they require you to reload the area, but I finished the game real quick.
>>334902108
>>334902203
Don't care about the other two, but seriously, burn some bone ash nigga.

I cleared that whole bridge thinking there would be some cool item reward.
But no.

alright i tried and looked . nothing. no idea what you're talking about.
Would anyone else know where i could find the Black Knight Great Sword?
Any advice for a pyromancy build?

Don't really care about PvP

if you avoid the jailer on the sideway you can free the red eyes hobo monster, he kill all jailers for you
>>334902779
Well it did help to have a bow.
Seriously the bow is INSANELY useful in DS3.
Well I also had to run back to like the garden to kite just one knight, but it is possible
>>334902404
Hope you didnt join Rosarias Fingers first or else your gonna be a sad boi :^)
>>334896632
do they respawn?
>>334903006
yes
>>334900678
the kicks are really fucking slow in this game though.
Someone pulled the plug while I invaded them for the first time before.
Why do people do this.
>>334902871
I had the bow. The knight I focused on (on the right) kept walking at normal speed with the other knights, but in attack stance, and they all just kept coming. He finally started running, but the other two were coming down too, so I was gonna rush to kill him. Then he turned around at the end of the stairs. "Oh, that must be where their paths stop." So I try to kite the middle one, but the left knight kept coming PAST the stairs, like he'd never stop. They basically pushed me up against the elevator to fight both at once, while the one I originally tried to kite was chilling at the top of the stairs.
And that's my blog for the day.
>>334902871
The bow has been ridiculously useful in every Dark Souls game.
Forget summons, abusing the bow to pull single enemies from mobs is the true easy-mode.

I've beaten them with a katana, which has a similar moveset to longsword. My tips would be
>time a charged stab as he's walking towards you, requires anticipating his behavior, results in a trade
>use gap closer weapon art after dodging any of his lunges, add a hit or two if there is an opportunity
Two dickwraiths right before can serve as practice for both of these skills, as well as parrying.
Equip the highest slash/thrust/fire defence gear while staying under 70%, while you are at it.
>>334903107
Because it's basically a trump to invaders, they start in the spot they're in and don't have to deal with an invader.

>>334903107
Some people want all the advantages of being embered and online and none of the disadvantages. Sometimes though, you've been away from your bonfire for a very long time, you've traveled a great distance past many annoying and tough enemies, and you're almost out of estus, and the last thing you need is an invader. Especially if the next bonfire is in sight. I've disconnected once or twice in Souls for that reason.
fucking ninja skeletons
god damn it, fuck those faggot
Love a lot of the designs, good mix of humanoid and non humanoid, just really butthurt about the lack of attack pattern variants. It seems if from wants to make an area hard they will grab something from the grabbag of
>homing missile attack
>multiple homing missiles attack
>flurry move sometimes followed by a Dodge
>rolling enemies
>enemies that keep their shield up far too often
>grab attack
Even late game areas like lothric castle just had more beginning area enemies with bumped up damage levels
Also loved some of the level designs, don't get me wrong, just would love some outside the box ideas on Froms part, I was tired of poison ground swamps, PvP covenant woods, dragons breathing fire on the ground (which they did 4 times in das3) and the obligatory lava level.
I mean I love the game, it's why I criticize it but at least there wasn't an obligatory sewer level and if you count the one in undead settlement at least it was short
biggest dark souls 3 enemy for me is the memory leak
it crashes my computer and my game after roughly 30 minutes of play
>>334903323
Wat. Why not just fight it out and die the respawn and run to where you died? You can run past everything in dark souls 3
>>334903281
For me it was the opposite, after I killed the dragon, Nameless King was pretty easy, whereas Lord of Cinder kicked my ass pretty hard in both stages.
>>334903281
>nameless king
>first phase
Literally what. I could get through that first phase without taking a single hit and it took me like 4 tries to beat the second phase, it was literally "bait my lunge attack: the boss" That shit was a joke
I'm AT LEAST on 20 tries on soul of cinder and I can't do it
>>334899779
>I couldn't do anything!
aaaahhh he said it! he said it!
>>334898032
That whole enemy placement/level design is pure Dark Souls 2 desu
>>334899768
The meta will probably be SL120.
SL100 is a little bit too low and SL120 is a little bit too high, but I really doubt people will compromise on something in the middle.
They'll probably just go with 120 since it's still low enough that there won't be any havelmages.
>>334901812
>SLAM JAM

I can't help feeling that majority of the complaints are "I'm trying to play it exactly like DaS1 and it's not always working".
>>334903689
I'm having the best PVP of my life at SL 80
>>334903689
>Havelmages
Nobody would give a shit, magic is weak and armor doesn't help nearly enough.SL100 is also excessive
>>334903448
Some enemies are very difficult to run past, like they're fast and aggressive and in tight hallways. It really depends on where you are, many of the bonfires are nonsensically close to one another but then there are some that are way too far apart. Then there are place like Smouldering Lake where it's easy to get lost. If you have a lot of souls, you probably don't want to compromise them. I don't usually pussy out but it depends on the situation.
>>334899779
>there was nothing I could do!
>>334903689
120 is too high. 100 might be too high as well. At 100 you can get 40 in two combat/load stats, 27 life, and have enough for some stamina. At 120, 20 more stat points is enough to do really start hauling around the really heavy armor and still have medium roll.
>>334899475

He leaves huge openings for you to do this constantly and since he staggers easily when recovering from attacks you get to freely R1 spam with small weapons or just hit him freely and safely with larger/longer weapons.

Makes sense... I guess c: just spend your souls before you go out and play silly boy c:
Am I the only person in this thread who still thinks that DeS and DaS1 were hard as shit, while DaS2, Bloodborne, and DaS3 (so far, almost to the princes) have been cake?

The only things that gave me any trouble in this game were the knights on the high wall of lothric when I was first starting out, the cunts in Irithyl that one shotted me because I never put any points into health, andfaggot ganksquads whenever I invade.
>>334904332
They're cute!
cute!!
>>334899291
I like their grab attack. Hug and burn the shit out of you but put you down gently instead of throwing or dropping you.

>>-Jailers. That room with TEN FUCKING JAILERS WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!
lmao literally run past them
>>334904352
Yeah... kinda weird lmao but I'm glad they brought FUGS back! Can 1-2 shot normal enemies and stagger the rest! Plus for pvp the 1 handed R1 spam is really nice and the roll R1 is p cray too! It'll 180 to hit the target PLUUUSSSSS it works as a decent shield too! ^^ my go to weapon~ it has like A scaling in strength and hits soooo hard *hnnngh* fucking love that weapon...!
>>334898913
This.
Invading in Irithyl is the only place where it's always a fair fight even if the host summons a bunch of guys.
>>334904827
Oh I forgot to mention that with enough stamina (end?) You can charge r2 and knock down then repeat until they're all dead! Wuhahaha @v@ I was rocking the great club til I found out you could get that weapon!

funny, i defeated abyss watchers on my first try with straight sword and wooden great shield. Just rolled about on most of the attacks and block some if their weaker attacks abd they get stunned if they hit your wall, easy 1 to to hits in then roll away rinse and repeat.

I think the only enemy in there I didn't hate was fucking Havel and that was because I could stagger the fucker with a Lothric Sword. Didn't even have to 2-hand it.
Armor in this game is a joke
the enemies piss me off to an extent where its really unlikely that i'll replay the game
oh well!
>>334906040
was really dissapointed with that, to be honest. like see him midrolling and just shit myself, but then I staggered him with a fucking drang hammer
the fuck is even the point of having havel then?
>>334905825
I was about 85% sure i'd find an enemy somewhere that would say this town's finished
What are some 2 handed weapons worth upgrading?
Broadsword + shield is good as fuck but it's getting so boring, I want to hit hard with a big ass weapon.
I've never seen anyone mention the giant worm in smouldering lake, I think that was the coolest enemy in the game and coupled with the fucking ballista machine when I first entered the zone I just kept thinking to myself "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING"
I used the ballista to kill the worm, but I want to try fighting it without it next time.
Hell, I don't see anybody mention smouldering lake that much at all, I thought Old Demon King was one of the best bosses and had a big varied moveset with a lot of fun attacks.
I only use a target shield for parrying some enemies with the scimitar since I haven't found a good offhand weapon that parries, but I found the gold eagle shield and have been using that since it looks so good.
I also stopped using the scimitar since I was a little bored with it since every tactic was to R1 spam anything with low poise or roll and poke anything else.
Been experimenting with halberd (and red handle varient), great scythe and the hollowslayer greatsword.
Looking for anyfunweapon recommenations too.
>>334906154
There's no point in having any more.
I was really disappointed the final boss armor wasn't even all that better than the starting Knight armor. I expected it to be like a fully upgraded Elite Knight Set but no, it sucked

Yes, please. Whereabouts is this so I can get it? I just beat High Lord Wolnir, is it beyond that or did I miss it?
Anyone hate rats?
I'm so fucking tired of rats after DaS2, the ones in DaS3 run super fast and the ones in ithryll dungeon are just fucking annoying.
>>334899002
Fucking this, Lothric Castle was a supremely shitty area with caked on artificial difficulty
>>334906418
I got that but it puts me into fatroll with my current fashion.
I'll probably try it out when I've put some more points in equip load.
I don't get why end can't just fucking upgrade equip load like in DaS.
How far in is Havel's ring?
>>334898863
>>334899213
It's hours later and I'm sure nobody cares, but I just went and got the cloranthy ring (looked it up, please punish me) and managed to beat SoC. Got me down to one estus but I did it, even managed to avoid his combo every time. Did the ending where I summoned the Fire Keeper, is this the good ending? Seemed bittersweet.

You need to turn your ass around and cut the bridge. Climb down the bridge to enter fallen Izalith. Somewhere in this wretched mess of demons there is a secret room with a single black knight wielding a greataxe. This is what you will spend an ungodly amount of time farming.
Get a mimic hat if you really intend on doing this. The drop rate is retarded. Also learn to parry, it makes killing him much easier and black/silver knights are easy to parry compared to most other enemies.
>>334906615
you know the enemy on top of the place where you join wolf covenant
so i think if you rush through road of sacrifices you can get there
id say thats just the point where the game opens up not too long but kinda long and i am very much in agreement
>>334905803
>he doesn't know the chain trick
>>334899564
I know that exact moment

If I start a second playthrough which I probably will I'll use a walkthrough for npcs
Reading dark souls 3 threads made me realize I missed like a dozen npcs
>>334893853
I really wanna fuck one of these centipede girls
>>334906714
not him, but I was more blown away that 3 of the 4 chests in profaned capital are mimics
>>334906816
more chests are mimics than arent i swear
>>334906698
>road of sacrifices
Shit fuck that swamp man
I stopped bothering and started exploring cathedral of the deep.
I guess I'll head back, since I've just found a poisonbite ring.
Where's the place to get a good bow? I've only had the longbow since the start and I want a short bow or a better longbow more than anything.
>>334906661
Will do, thanks anon. Can't day I'm excited for the grind if RNG shits on me, though.
Is it at least a solid weapon? I got a ton of spare materials to upgrade with.
Reminder.
-When the jailers brand you you have a chance to roll away before they insta-kill you.
-In the room with a bunch of jailers you can free the crucified monster who will rip through them for you.
>Master of X achievements
I fucking hate these fat cunts. Its not that theyre really hard to kill, its just the noises they make annoy the shit out of me. Their animations are fucking retarded too. Just makes me want to find the closet fat person and strangle them to death.
>>334907083
Do I have to go through the game like 3 times again to get covenant items?
Only regular mobs that gave me trouble or annoyed the fuck out of me are those tryhard ninja skeletons, the big snakes at archdragon peak & Greatsword Lothric knights.
>>334907153
>snake
I meant serpent.
>>334907142
several bosses have 3 options for their souls
>>334906892
It has astounding damage if you have the strength to wield it. It scales off both Strength and Dex so if you're like me and you've told magic to fuck off, it's great.
You will need time adjusting to its swing speed though. If I can solo the final boss using it, you can do anything with it.
>>334906885
h-heh
you know how you want that bow, well I'm pretty sure the black bow of pharis is... in that swamp too
>>334907307
But from what I've seen most of them make either a weapon or a spell.
Is there a boss soul that can only be made into spells?
>>334907142
Dorkmoon, mound makers, and the watch pups are the only ones that require thirty instead of ten if you're going for trophies.
>>334903107
>mfw I did this 3 times yesterday
>>334905235
Throwing axe guy is the worst, his """ability""" to clip his axe through five fucking walls is bullshit.
I don't get, why From can't fix collision detections for enemies? They always always find a way to hit you through geometry.
>>334907498
Don't forget about how it can also clip you coming from.
>>334907482
Why?
>>334907636
To make the invaders mad
Post yfweven though you enjoyed DaS2soul memory was confirmed gone

>>334907474
Sunbros also have a miracle you need to get
>>334907482
>he doesn't realise he'll get softbanned
>>334906616
Good work, anon.
All endings are pretty much bittersweet though, except maybe for the regular one that ends up being very simple instead
>>334907772
hated ds2 but
>>334907790
Two miracles right, but they're super easy to get compared to Dorkmoon and watch dogs. Admittedly watch pups is for a ring however.
>>334902404
Whenever I see a broken bridge or some other sudden ending of a pathway I just drop a prism stone to see if it sticks
>wear knight armor
>can't poise through a single attack in the game
>>334906816
they also drop shit loot
for fuck's sake Tanimura
>>334907920
>3 playthrough for fucking rings AGAIN
Goddammit
>>334906363
can you grab them with the sacred flame
>>334906661
>>334906892
>>334907310
You can also use Iron Flesh to make it easier
>>334906720
I didn't even know anri went to firelink shrine
>>334908082
Yes though it's not every ring. Watch pups' ring is locked behind thirty. Dorkmoon thankfully gives theirs at ten.
The rings you find in ng+s are:
Chloranthy
Blood/Flesh/Poisonbite
Gold and Silver serpent
Xstone plate
Havel's
Life ring which goes up to +3 since you can find +1 and +2 in ng+1
Ring of Favor
Steel protection ring
Sage ring
Wood grain ring
And Wolf ring, which has it's plain version locked behind watch pups.
>>334907825
I do, that's why I only did it 3 times. I jumped off a cliff and when about my business after the 3rd time.
>>334901812
I'm sorry to be the one to propagate this saying, but git gud
>>334908249
I guess I'll wait a while for a 100% achievement guide, since I also need the 3 magic achievements, otherwise I have everything else
>>334906339
I've seen people ofdhanding caestus for parrying
>>334908445
Pyromancy is literally locked behind Mound makers since they give warmth. Miracles is probably the hardest one because no one's doing the way of blue to summon the fun police frequently enough. At this point in time, it's faster for me to just farm silver knights.
The Sorcery one is ezpz, though you must be aware that the sorcery npc will leave after a certain amount of time without being given a scroll. However only one covenant has a sorcery and they give it to you at ten which is Aldritch Faithful.
Oh speaking of covenants, I forgot that the dickwraith covenant also gives you a ring at the first rank.
>>334906496
yeah, rats are fucking bull in this
at least dogs are nice enought
>>334908249
Wait, do the + variants of rings count towards the achievements?
>>334908898
Yep or I would've gotten it after I got the normal speckled plate ring in my ng+ run
>>334908946
Fucking. Why.
>>334908650
What about rings from NPC questlines?
I know Sirris tells me to fuck off even if I so much as stare at Rosaria's amazing chest, and I can't be palls with Yuria and Anri at the same time
>>334909052
>I can't be palls with Yuria and Anri at the same time
Yeah you can. In fact you kind of have to if you want one of the endings. As for Sirris, she'll give you the finger if you offer up a covenant item to Rosaria. You can join, I think, without no negativity. Sirris gives you the silver cat ring after you turn in some ashes to the handmaid.
Crestfallen gives you a ring after abyss watchers, Orbeck gives you two for a certain amount of sorceries and a few specific ones. Yuria sells two. Really Hollowing's more important for all the gestures and an ending.
>>334901041
>I stared at every fucking chest lid to see if it was breathing or not before Undead Hunter Charming that shit.
You can tell them apart the same way you could in DaS, the direction that the chain on their right side curls
>>334909238
Are you talking about the usurpation ending?
Because that requires me to kill Anri IIRC.
I don't know if either Yuria or Anri give me a ring though.
Also fuck Sirris, seriously.
>>334909516
It's not killing, it's marriage, the jav star lives in the end unlike her non usurpation ending.
Anri gives you the ring of the evil eye before christmas Yharnam and Yuria sells the white phantom ring and a ring to make you appear human while hollowed along with ring of sacrifices.
Now now, Sirris, is pretty decent. Gives you creighton's weapon and armorset, a talisman, her armor, a ring, Hodrick's shield and armor in her questline while also giving you another way to get mound makers if you fucked it up.
>>334909645
Yeah but seriously, I joined every other covenant in the game but Rosaria is the one she has a problem with? I didn't even invade anyone, I only respecced my points and she acts like I kicked her dog
>>334909757
Yeah the offering of a pale tongue is what does it. It's a bit shit that there's absolutely no real warning until you get into her questline and get the darkmoon gesture from her. Not nearly as bad as getting the proper bow gesture though.
>>334909819
Yeah that was so stupid, luckily I almost have all the gestures, only missing Quiet Resolve, Duel Bow and By My Sword, which is good since I'm almost at Boreally Valley anyway.
>>334896752
FIRE
TOCHES
FIREBOMBS
THEY GIVE YOU BILLIONS OF THOSE FOR A REASON
USE THEM FUCK
>>334898554
>kill them
>they drop shit
>literally made of shit
>>334910014
Ah then you're good. Only one you might miss out on is duel bow.
>>334893853
>that goat demon thing that chills in the demon ruins with his legs completely spread sitting down staring at you
>>334910141
One does give you that mini butcher blade though.
>>334910238
yes that named weapon, it's shit
