Dark Souls III [Import OT] Kindle the fire, one last time
- Thread starter Yoshichan
- Start date
I think BB is an easier game than DS3,people obviously can have more ways to make it easier like having shields. Bosses and enemies are nothing to scoff at and DS3 has a more welcoming curve in difficulty at first but it gets to where people enjoy it.
Challange runs are gonna be really fun in this game.
The biggest difference for me is no regain. I really miss it.
Otherwise, totally in love with DS3 so far.

There's a secret(?) bonfire near the boss tree, remember the bridge near that area? there's dudes throwing you bombs and one giant dude with the cauldron, you can jump down that bridge, follow the path and find a bonfire, get out and look for stairs that go up, at the top of the building you'll find someone in a cage, speak to him and he will teleport to the firelink shrine
The voices and that might be enough to beat the the game. Missing out on stuff is a given though, but the guides are building up as we speak. Just asking around here will help.
Thanks, do you cross the
bridge to the right of the first bonfire

Yeah tomb of the giants, skeleton wheels I can handle, that I cannot.
I'm also happy I'm getting the Collectors Edition with my copy but two weeks with no spoilers is a loonnggg wait.
Question about early game and where possible skip leads when killing optional boss.

So if you summon D
ancer by killing the old lady before 1st boss, and then climb up the ladder. It gets you into the Castle, and progressing even further you see e.g. two living dragons sitting on walls. Are areas accessible through this method at what point of game progression?

So after the A
W
boss fight I can't find a new bonfire. Been trapped in this new area with S
for awhile now.
Also, how do you upgrade Estus to +1/+2 in this or is that not a thing.

All the voice-over is in English
Thanks guys very appreciated! Can't wait to play this. Thankfully PSN is very good today, 40min for almost 20Gb is not that bad.

I speak zero Japanese and am not having any issues following along. Granted, I've played all the previous Souls games so I have a fundamental understanding of what things do. Still, Reddit has some great links to fexlife that has screenshots of the stat screen, character dialogue, item descriptions, etc that fill in the missing pieces.

Sweet, I already went that way for a bit then turned back... Area has a creepy occult feeling to it.

Do you know what the first boss (who gives you an actual soul) is able to be traded for? I am in desperate need of leveling up but if I can trade it for a badass weapon I'd go that route.

I have a couple of questions about Firelink npcs if anyone can help:
Gr

Ir

Yo

Any help with these three issues would be greatly appreciated.
Gr
eirat
has disappeared after I sent him on a mission to plunder the winter place. The only trace of him is that Patches asks where I have sent him, which I refused to tell
Ir
ina
Is gone, but it is unclear exactly when it happened. A knight in white came and threatened me after joining the stat redistribution covenant, which may or may not have something to do with her disappearance. I bought all her spells, but unsure if I had given her all Braille miracle items
Yo
el
Lies as a corpse in his old place in Firelink. I bought all of his four sorceries. I never used the "draw upon" ability that he offered.
Any help with these three issues would be greatly appreciated.

I can't take the freaking wait anymore! What are some general spoiler free impressions? If requests like this have been shitting up the thread feel free to PM. SO much is happening for me between now and the release of this game:
-job interview for a career in my masters
-my spurs end the regular season and play GS two more time
-new Pokémon sun and moon info
-my final exam for my drug development class
Really hope this game will be worth the wait. Downloaded the Old Hunters which I will be plowing through today.

My firekeeper can heal the black sign for me. I think the item for that was found
in Firelink shrine, after buying the key for 20000 and gaining access to the roof. Climb the second tower to get the firekeepers soul and thereby access to healing of the dark sign. Never had to do it myself, though

Not sure what the first boss soul is, but the Uchigatana is available just outside
firelink shrine

This is my first one of these games, and I am so bad at this. I've been playing for like an hour and I can't even beat the first boss.

Whelp, I know where I am going this morning. Thank you.
Yeah, I got that and it is indeed pretty good. I'm running with another sword that seems do do better for me, though. Also have the dark axe. My main thing now is I need to boost some stats. Figure I could use this boss soul for that but didnt want to risk losing out on a great weapon. Thanks for the info.
You do it by talking to the blacksmith, he has a reinforce flask option and takes Estus Shards for it.
As for your first question, have you tried slicing off the rope bridge and using it as a ladder?
I think it has potential. It's basically this game's version of transforming weapons without the craziness, but I'm not sure if it's really worth the FP cost because like you said, R1 still does the job.
On the great club, the skill "battle cry"
(basically the dragon roar from DS1) gives you increased damage for a few seconds and changes your R2 attack to a 3 hit combo (that you only need to hit R2 once for).
heal more health per hit when sharpened
health revival of that weapon
I also like the idea that if you invest in FP you're essentially availing yourself more melee options as you level up. Like a weapon you've been using for hours suddenly has more viable options because you have enough FP to stance / skill more.
So yeah, it's too early to tell but I think I like skills and the FP system, and how it's streamlined with magic consumption, so on a melee only weapon build, your stance/skills are basically your "spells" you can use a few times between bonfires. I've pumped all estus into healing.
I [wasted] used 75k souls to remove the Dark Sigils from the inventory, but I still have the hollow curse thing (It's under the player level) at 99. I'd imagine I need the 'anti-curse' items to remove that but the npc selling them doesn't sell anything to me anymore.
anyone knows what that curse thing does exactly and how to remove it?
was probably the worst one I've fought so far but it wasn't that bad either. the rest goes from good/average to great. if by ''flamelurker-tier'' you mean great then yeah.
the real trash/garbage bosses are in DkS2, and I'd be surprised if this game has something worse.

I didn't like too much all of the locations I've found so far but the catacombs went from ''ok at best'' with the first part (boss was great though) to complete and utter shit after you get to the second part. it's just a copy-pasted immense chalice dungeon, looks like shit, you have no idea where you're going half of the time and the 75% of the enemies are recycled.
oh, there is an interesting part before you get there,
but it's much less exciting than what it sounds.

no, not really. I've killed 6-7 bosses and I've yet to see a single ''trash'' one.

These areas are so massive. Holy crap!

Man I love these little touches and this game is like a love letter to itself.

yromancy trainer (the starting weapon for pyromancy in DS1).
Not sure it's cheap but enemies do track insanely well... Plus, they "close the gap" much quicker than prior games. I gave up the no shield pyromancer and bought a kite shield with 100% phys reduction. Best move yet.
Have you seen many of those? Really dislike tracking enemies
So, (end game spoiler). I just got to this boss in that K
. I had trouble killing it, and when that finally happens...
They all track but the animations are better than in DaS2 so it feels more natural. But you gotta learn your roll timings properly this time around, or you'll get fucked up.
iln of the First Flame looking area
This motherfucker goes into a second phase! And he comboed me right off the bat completely destroying me.
FROM pls D: I don't like those double health bar guys, this is like the third one in the game that I've encountered so far
The first half of the fight is fun though. I'll have to play the second half a bit more to see what happens when the boss goes fucking Super Saiyajin.
Time to go to bed, I thought I could finish the game before going to sleep... But yeah it's already 4am.

One burning question I have...(please tag as such if there's a lore spoiler here):
Why the hell does the Cleric look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
