congrats you ugly loser

>>340396491
It felt a bit easier, but I also went into the game having played all the others in the series, so I was very comfortable with the mechanics and could anticipate most of the things that they would throw at me.

Nothing will ever be able to recreate your first playthrough of a souls game, unfortunately.

>>340396491
They definitely did casualise the game a lot

My problem is more with the boring level design though.

>Oppinion

PvE was way too easy, only had issues with Pontiff (because of speed) and Dancer (did her before pontiff and giant-guy). Playing a pure mage after that is annoying, not even remotely fun.
PvP and invasions made me return to Dark Souls 2, because the core mechanics are a mess and won't be fixed as it would harm PvE.

>>340397481
>because the core mechanics are a mess
how?

>>340397105
Wait, I beat it on my second try too. It's not hard to figure out you can charge the weapon and hit the boss with the beam. The moment I saw my axe hitting him for 20 dmg I knew it was a gimmick fight.

Took me 2 tries.

>>340397105
To be fair, Yhorm can basically oneshot you in his second phase depending on your build/SL. He oneshot me from full life when he had one stormruler hit left, I really didn't expect him to hit that hard.

>>340399801
How do you get him by Yhorm in the first place? He's DS1-tier boss, slow and hard hitting, in DS3, a game with tamina-free rolls which give you iframes for the entire duration of the animation.

Big Black Dick
>first try, went back for a second

>>340396491
Almost same as you but took me 3 tries for the abyss watchers

4 tries for Pontiff

1st try for champion gundyr
1st try for Aldrich
6 tries for Lothric Princes
4 tries for Old Demon King
6 tries for Nameless King
2 tries for Soul Of Cinder

5 tries is all I need to jot a boss down every move and timing

Holy Knight Hodrick is the hardest enemy in the game in the Woods summon

NG+

>how many times you died matters
I'm LE GOOD VIDEO GAME
LE DARK SOUL EASY
these are the people that the prepare to die marketing appealed to

>>340396491

i find it hard to believe you beat oceiros on your first try but died more than twice to any of champ gundyr, nameless king, twin princes or soul of cinder

>>340405587

I got Oce on my first, but I died a dozen on Twin Princes. Got Champ on my second. Nameless in a few.

I just suck with Twin Princes.

i said i find it hard to believe and thats your recation? wow. you need to take your medication anon

>>340396491
Not really, I did about the same, but I can pretty much optimally play souls games after 5 games of more or less the same shit. At least a lot of the bosses toward the end tended to give a good challenge, which makes sense given the progression of the game.

Is he legitimately meant to be hard anon?

I did him first try with ease.

>>340406296
not particularly, but hes a lot harder than champ, soul of cinder or twin princes

>>340406389
Are you shitting me? Cinder and Twin princes raped me.

>>340406296
He's clearly retarded. Ignore him m8. That's what everybody irl does lol

>>340406389
>Harder than champ

No he's not. Literally one of the easiest of the endgame bosses.

The boss fights are the easiest they've been since DeS.

>died a good 14 times to Rom
>10 or so to gherman
>somehow manage to die about 5 times to vicar amelia on each playthrough

>beat pontif second try
>princes second
>soul of cinder first

I think even Nashandra was a less shit final boss.

>>340406470

the trick with cinder is to pipe him down asap in the first phase. stay in his face, circle strafe constantly and punish everything with 2 hits. dont let him go magic or scimitar if you can avoid it. his attack in SS mode and phase 2 are telegraphed like crazy. its just circle strafe with your shield up. dodge at the right times, punish with SS r1 spamming

twin princes first phase is incredibly easy. he telegraphs every attack with a teleport and his weapon art is dodged the same way his regular attacks are: roll to your right when you see it coming

phase 2 just involves circle strafing to get at the fuccboi on the back. same shit for the sword guy's attacks, easy telegraphed and avoided with the proviso that you have to dodge 2 or 3 times on the weapon art because theres 2 ranged attacks now. if the fuccboi puts all those magic orbs in the sky just strafe around the pillars in the room to have them absorb the hits until you can get back in his face

i beat both bosses twice with a combined 6 tries and no summons

Oh yeah, I'm OP here forgot to mention I summoned for almost all fights didnt want to mess up questlines you see

>>340407515
Real OP here. No summons, sorry. Git gud tho.

>>340396491
I think Bloodborne players found DaS3 much easier than people that hadn't played BB.

Imo BB had much harder bosses in general than DaS3, especially the DLC and CD bosses. However DaS3 had harder standard enemies than BB.

>>340408304
>However DaS3 had harder standard enemies than BB.

Those shark dudes are harder than any other regular souls enemy.

>>340408692
true but there's only like 5 of them in the whole game

thats really mean anon I hope you dont mean it.

>>340405587
Oceiros is very easy if you take a poke and roll approach he starts running into walls and shit and you can basically just hit him once or twice roll/jump back and then roll away from the nearest wall and he more either do his area attack which you should be out of range for then/or he will do his pouch charge which as long as you watch him you can just roll as soon as he turns about

Granted this is assuming you are like most smart players and don't use auto lock at all.
Much like Bloodborne bosses autolock will get you killed more than help when facing Pontiff, Dancer, Lothric, Nameless King and Oceiros

Really the trick is when you first enter a boss room is to just survive and watch movements. Don't attack, don't cast/throw items, just stay alive and watch for patterns. When you get them at half health back the fuck off again and repeat step one and just watch for patterns.

These games really help force you to stop charging in like a tard trying to do max damage asap.
