Dark Souls III [Import OT] Kindle the fire, one last time

FYI to anyone planning to get the PC version. GMG's SPRING20 (20% off coupon) seems to be working for anything on the site, including Dark Souls III pre-orders. I don't believe any coupons have worked (believe me, I've tried) with the game up until now.

Thanks, coupon worked just fine. Hope we get the keys before actual release date.
 
I just experienced the best boss fight in the entire Souls franchise, literally on par with King Allant

This LITERALLY, LITERALLY increased score by an entire point. Just this boss itself.

I can't fucking believe it.

Man, I thought forest boss was epic. I can't wait to see what you're talking about.

crystal mage was boring.


Sounds like your just in cinder mode (which is a good thing) you have higher hp.

Really?
hole in my chest
and all?
 
no joke

Two of the bosses so far in this game has been 10/10 quality and I don't rate Souls bosses that high unless they're as good as Flamelurker and Allant

They're THAT good. So fucking good. SO FUCDKING GOOD

The knights that fight each other
and
the dude with the lady on the top of his back
 
Well, in search of a certain key item I needed I found a boss I skipped
crystal mage ez mode
and an entire new, beautiful area.

Love this god damn Great Club.
 
I did this whole area that's like this
firey underground area with a big ballista shooting bolts at you, there's a giant worm and a demon boss at the end in a room full of dead aslyum demons...
is this a dead end? I killed this boss and I'm not sure if there's anything else in this area.

I haven't seen the second one but I did the first one and the music made it pretty epic.
 
Is it known whether there's more content in NG+, like extra invasions/boss souls in DS2 for example?

I've read reports that some people finish the game in
20h easily, I'm very concerned now :( Every other Souls game was 40h+ for blind playthrough, even if you were doing fine on bosses.
 
Is there a way to increase the potency of the Estus flask?

I am actually enjoying the game a lot now. Just randomly exploring is so much fun, I feel like the areas are massive.
 
Any of you guys got a recommendation for a weapon for someone who loved dual cestus in DkS 2? I ran the handaxe in 1 and liked it, too. I like being quick and punchy.

It's not a lady on his back, it's his brother, Lothric, the actual LoC despite his sickly appearance (which is thanks to being the offspring of a half-dragon).
 
Where do you find him? and
Ancient Wyvern? Already beat Ocieros.

With the gesture you picked after Ocieros, go to the bonfire of the prison area before Yhorm, from there go to a door at the other side of the prison that you probably unlocked as a shortcut before hand, it'll take you to a lift that leads to a place with some corpses of knights and a dragon-man who are sitting. Do the gesture alongside the dragonman.
 
is xbox one easy mode or something ? im watching a streamer and he is getting hit A LOT less than i did on ps4

I feel like I've been playing easy mode on the xbox version. One shotting most bosses and making my way through new areas relatively easy.

Maybe something to this?

Streamers have finished it in
20-24
hours, but so far it seems no one has done all three endings on one character, or discovered everything.

Most non streamers have reported it's closer to
30-35
hours for a blind playthrough, with varying skill levels.

Don't worry, it's got content.

We still haven't seen any major news from NG+ yet, even.
 
just defeated my second lord of cinder
aldritch, devourer of gods
that lore behind his moniker. mindblown.gif. he was pretty easy, especially compared to the one before, but the location and fight were definitely awesome. that's two superb boss fights back to back, seems they saved the better ones for mid to late game, some of the bosses before we kinda meh imo.

as far as length goes, i'm about 26 hrs in so far and i imagine about 2/3 through, 40 hrs for my first playthrough sounds like a good length.
 
I dont think anything will be able to top
Abyss Watchers for me
Best fight in the soul series period.

I liked
Maria
from Bloodborne more tbh, but the fights are very similar imo and it certainly has been one of my top fights in this game so far.

edit: whoops double post sorry.
 
I'm lost and need help on where to go after the 3rd boss.

I made it to the poison swamp-like area and made it to the second bonfire here, but everything seems like a dead end or takes me back to the first bonfire. Am I supposed to be here?
 
I thought this was debunked as bs

Has it? I've seen enemies that took 70-80% of someone's health on PS4 and the same enemy took like 20% at most on xbone. I haven't been paying attention to any investigations so I won't assume to know any better.

If that is the area I'm thinking it is, you need to extinguish three flames to open a big gate just past that bonfire. The three flames are all up stone steps in various places on the swamp. Just go up to them and press circle and you'll see a cutscene where your character puts the fire out.
 
So is co op working on this? I'm uk based and bought the jap version on xbox one. I've not seen any summoning signs anywhere. I am only at the 3rd area though so should I have everything I need to summon/be summoned?

Woah, would have never figured that out! Thanks!
 
So obviously '1.01' is the day one patch which contains online functionality and other fixes. I've played through the first ~3 hours on each version, and there's performance issues on Xbone that don't exist on PS4.

That's good since I will only be playing on PS4.

There are other two or three i think are even more epic and difficult. That music, that scenery. i wish i wouldn't have seen those, but i was weak.
