I'm currently sl120 on ng6, am I too over leveled or is this the sweetspot? Enjoying the randomness that is mound makers and killing red phantoms because they always think we're on the same side

Not the person you're replying to, but I sincerely do not understand why everyone says Nameless is the toughest boss in the game.

Sure he's a bit tough at first, but once you figure out how easy it is to cheese the sky king (i think thats the name) and realize that nameless king is slow as fuck and will let you drink every time you run away from him, he's not difficult at all.

hell, i beat him on my 2nd try in ng+ (i only died the first time because i wanted to see if i could beat him without healing.)

Roll towards, him, never hit him more than once unless he does that dive attack.

>>338157660
Don't panic roll. His swings are so slow, that the hardest past of the fight is to NOT roll too early.
He only does like 2-4 swings in a row, which you dodge, then do an attack or two, depending on the speed of your weapon. Repeat until dead.

If you have carthus bloodring and/or prisoner's chain - take them off.
But regardless, as long as you don't die, you WILL eventually win. There's no hard enrage timer like in MMOs or anything.
Also, try to two-hand your weapon, because this way you will be doing more poise damage to him, and will be able to stagger and riposte him sooner/more often.

So you're the retard that is the cause of this. My friend who comes here a lot (I fucking don't know why) has the exact same opinion that Champion Gundyr is the hardest boss. If you pull the dicks out of your eyelids and stop eating sugar for 4 seconds you'd realize that the boss PUNISHES you if you attack continuously/at the wrong time. It is retards such as yourself that skew the demographics to a disgusting extent. Please consume as much bleach as you can find, dive bomb into your mother's loose-leaf vagina, and expire.

It just flat out subtracts ~10 from all kinds of physical damage absorption, which is about a half for medium armor and a third for heavy armor.
Now, how exactly damage absorption/resistance work I cannot say. Don't think anyone has an accurate formula.

You bet. I switched from Sorcery to Pyromancy halfway through and it was like turning down the difficulty from hard to easy. This is the first time I've ever tried magic in a Souls game and goddamn if sorcery isn't both unsatisfying and awful in this.

the reason Crystal Sage is rated so high is because of magic builds which i am currently running.
when you run into Crystal Sage you have like 25-30 int maybe, a really really bad weapon and like no spells.
biggest cock block ever, he's challenging on NG+ also.
he punishes ranged, punishes you if you're in his line of sight and forces you to be aggressive and is resistant to magic, every weakness of a caster is his strength.

Having played all the souls games and bloodborne before the games release, and now having run through 3 several times, this is how I would rate the bosses difficulty comparatively with the rest of the series, including their respective positions in the game, so tutorial boss, final boss etc.

The first rating indicates the difficulty I had with these bosses in comparison to other games style bosses, how I thought about their mechanics etc.

The second rates how I thought about the boss overall, including atmosphere, challenge, music, visual wonder, purposeful reasoning for being in the world, how unique they felt etc.

Iudex: 5/10, 7/10
Vordt: 5/10, 6.5/10
Greatwood: 5/10, 5.5/10

Turns out the clones are onehits and you can just throw knives at them which made the fight piss easy

I don't think that retarded filter exists anymore. I saw someone named knight in game recently.
>>
>>338157202
Top 3 looks good to me.
>>
>>338166025
I loved the way the icy cold music at the start, it gave a real religious sense to the pontiff, and the way he's not even facing you as you enter the arena, the long shiny floor and the large scale statues.

I love the way the music grows into a selection of more war, swirling textures, as he begins attacking you and dancing around.

I absolutely love the way the game justifies him as a huge central figure, responsible for many of the various little goings on, the outrider knights, aldrich, taking over anor londo, gwyndolin and yorshka

I love the way the phase 2 begins with him growing those weird branch like wings, it gives a huge visual sense of both an angelic presence, but also a corrupted presence.

I love the way the music storms down in phase 2, it works perfectly with the more grand atmosphere, the way the pontiff and his clone face you, guard up, and the array of much more visually impressive attacks like the jumping homing attacks, the aoe, and the various magic attacks.

The fight is way up there in my top 3 dark souls fights.

It's case sensitive. If you use upper case letters, it doesn't trigger the check.
>>
>>338165621
yeah i went to go get a chaos gem, killed him with a chaos rapier.
Pyro is superior in PVP, therefore it is the better build.
sorc doesn't get good until 50-55 in int and faith doesn't get good until you kill Cinder.
i really hope the DLC addresses the problem with casters, which is the endurance requirement for spell casting desu.
>>
>>338155262
>Crystal Sage down to a 4
>Abyss Watchers up to 6
>Pontiff I'd probably raise to 7
>Aldrich a 5 (his second form arrow volley was the only attack that gave any trouble)
>Twin Princes down to 6

Nameless I guess would stay 10 for probably being the toughest in game but I wouldn't say he's a 10 on the scale of all souls borne games.
>>
Aldrich is the hardest boss because of those FUCKING ARROWS UNNNNNNNNNGH
>>
>>338168405
Just run. And continue running until it is over.
Not hard.
>>
>>338166315
Got him on second try with a 2h great club, obviously no parry.
>>
>>338168405
Just run around until its over and then prepare to roll once he shoots two soul arrows since he likes to follow up with that. Not really hard to do.
>>
>>338168593
Not that anon, but this happened to me a few times:
>run from the arrows
>run out of stamina
>arrows are still raining
>>
>>338154025
What the fuck are you talking about you cock guzzling whore? Theres at least 6 dork souls thread at any time with 400 replies to it in 10 minutes or less because youre a bunch of spergs. Like sanic tier spergs

Roll roll attack
>>
>>338168763
So you wildly attack aldrich until you basically out of stamina get rained on because you refused to see the huge tell for the arrow rain.
That or you never once upgraded your endurance from your base stats.
>>
Who else is doing a Paladin build here? Im cosplaying the lothric knight set
>>
Oceiros was no fun on my level 16, +2 enforcement all faith character. the charge attack's hitbox is too ambiguous and that crystal breath will fuck you so fast that it will literally hit you before the actual visual effect does. The champ, however, was fun as fuck. learning his parry timing and parrying him to death took many attempts, but they were all enjoyable.
>>
>>338169148
No, I couldn't even approach him in the first place. It seemed like he randomly decided to cast it twice in a row or something.
Also, I got hit by the spear a couple of times when I was running from the arrows, because I couldn't see him cast.
Not that he's hard, but for some reason I had a real hard time killing on the first playthrough. Took me whole 4 tries. At that point I oneshot every boss with exception of Pontiff, that took 2 tries.
>>
>>338155262
Nameless king was piss easy, champion gundyr is the hardest
>>
>>338169332
>the charge attack's hitbox is too ambiguous
Just don't stand up close to him on phase two, otherwise you risk getting hit by the near instant charge.
>>

Should I just scrap this build or does it get better later on?

>>338170538
Sage is an actual challenge that forces you to use the environment around you. it's easy as Dex tho because your little combo wombos do a lot more damage than everyone elses, generally.
>>
>>338170692
its bomb in PVP and after you kill Cinder for sunlight spear
>>
>>338170538
Most of those bosses use physical damage, but sage's magical damage in phase 2 can slap your shit if you're not careful
>>
>>338170724
>Sage is an actual challenge that forces you to use the environment around you

Dragon torso and head with Havel's shield power.

You get like 65% weakness to lightning.

How do I stop and focus on dorkmoon? It's too fun, half the time they bug and I only fight phantoms but if she kill them I still get embered.

when i play as a purple i try to kill every phantom in the hosts world if the host is too aggressive I'll try to kill him too. but most hosts hide like pussies and only attack with numbers I'll kill them with wide swings on accident when trying to kill yellows or whites.

They're definitely harder than Vordt, the Deacons, and Sage.
>>
>>338177880
man, vordt is so cool. i love his boss music as well. just wish he was much harder
>>
Do I do Smouldering lake or irthihialalail valley first?
>>
>>338178710
Smouldering gives a ton of upgrade materials but can be frustrating. I'd do it anyway before Irithyll
>>
>>338178710
>>338178917
yeah definitely worth going there early, also make sure you use the ballista to kill the worm before you turn it off.
>>
>>338166315
i beat Pontiff easily and without parrying, just hug his back, dodge and run away to heal

>>338179201
>TFW i kill the worm using the dragonslayer bow
>TFW i could've used avelynzilla to kill it

>>338155434
This.
I found both pontiff and soul of cinder much harder than nameless king
>>
So are these good levels to invade?
I'm thinking of making a chart
off the top of my head
Vordts area 1-15
Settlement 10-23ish
Sacrifices 17-30
Cathedral/Spookywoods 20-40 depending on what they did first
Carthus 30-43ish
Irythyll - 35-50
Dungeon 40 -50
Anal Rodeo/ Capital 43ish - 56ish depending on which they went to first
Lothric castle 50 - 60
Dukes - 55 - 65
Dragontown 30 - 80
>>
>>338182369
No, anon. You can only do pvp once you reach the meta level of 120. Anything below that is a waste of time, and anything above is unfair. Don't you know the community by now?

Is faith really that garbage?
Probably my favorite part of every souls game has been chucking huge bolts of lightning (actually just anything lightning in general), so I've been pondering on doing another playthrough while specced to faith, maybe starting on herald.

Worth it or only good for pvp?
