Congrats!
If you beat
champion gundyr
I feel like celebrating when I beat these bosses at SL 65, lol.
Even Oroboro hates invasions in this game

I can't believe they fucked up the thing that gives the game long life and this is their last game wtf
Miyazaki should just work on his new IP and let Dark Souls 2 team fix the PvP in this game.

I made a new character (again) and god damn it makes me realize how spoiled I got on my NG++ character who's SL120 and has max estus, +10 weapons, all the best rings, and basically unlimited amounts of consumables. NG is the real deal; I forgot how ridiculous it is to fight those first Lothric Knights, and what it feels like only having 12 endurance, and how little the un-upgraded estus flask heals.
I might have to go do that.Congrats!
If you beatyou could use the prisoner's chain to simplify the next fights a bit!champion gundyr
It probably won't help that I've never gone through the consumed kings garden or untended graves on any of my previous characters!

During my SL1, i beat champion gundyr early because i wanted to collect some stuff... and prisoner's chain was among these... but then... I completely forgot to transmute it! xD
I fought only the last boss using that ring... NK would have been a lot simpler with prisoner's chain... :-(

Those Pontiff Knights hit like a truck, until you beat the area and come back with more upgraded shit.
The boss is hard but not impossible. Just raise your shield, circle strafe and fight him by the stairs. Second phase was a bit difficult, but it's still doable. Just have to time it right.Hehe, yeah there's a pretty noticeable spike in difficulty there. Pretty much every single enemy there is deadly. Those Pontiff Knights and Fire Witches are straight up assholes. And oh man, just wait until you get to the boss.

Thanks, for a moment there I thought I just got too used to Bloodborne and was doing too much evade and not Shield to block attacks.

Greirat also sells them if you have him search Irithyll and he actually you know, like fucking actually comes back. Not chunks though.
MudoSkills
Volcano High Alumnus (Cum Laude)
Lothric castle knights drop chunks fairly regularly - using the one by the first bonfire I probably got a hundred or so while I was grinding for sunlight medals.
You can do both!
From 2 princes bonfire you can fight 4 Lothric Knights who drop chunks and occasionally Refined and Lightning gems. They also give a lot of souls.
Good luck, they're by far the hardest things in SL1.

So, someone has discovered a true combo with fist weapons:
Dark Souls 3 - L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1
Dark Souls 3 - L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1 L1 R2 L1 L1
Wow, that looks fun as hell. Is it broken or ..? I've always wanted to main a claws/fist type weapon but could never get good enough for it to be worthwhile.

I don't use an ashen flask with my battlemage. It just doesn't feel right.
I'm pretty sure 2 had something of a similar nature as well.

Vertical sounds good.
I liked in the recent interview that he acknowledged how linear DS3 is, so I'm hoping that influences the DLC somehow, well not sure how - but it was nice to read that admission any way.
DS3gaf, I need help. I feel like I'm at my wit's end here.
The two twin princes are whooping my ass. I've gone in with two NPC summons, one NPC summon and even tried to solo them on my own and I still end up failing miserably. The best I've done is gotten Lothric down to 1/3 his health before dying
I can't seem to reliably dodge Lorian's magic sword attack. The long-ranged one the slices through the pillars.
And when Lothric joins in the fight and they start crazily teleporting left and right, the battle gets so chaotic that I'm struggling to dodge their attacks, much less try attacking them. And I always keep killing Lorian instead and after the second/third time Lothric revives him I just get super sloppy.
This fight is nearing OOK levels of frustration for me. Everyone talks about the Nameless King but why does nobody talk about these teleporting assholes. Need helpful tips pls.

I'm slightly wary of spending boss souls now in case there happens to be a vendor that is somehow even better than Ludleth is, like Ornifex vs. Straid in DS2, especially when some of the stuff costs 0 souls.
The Pontiff's eye sounds cool though, almost like they're trying to match Bloodborne's rally/regain-HP-with-attacks system.
How come
's soul doesn't give you anything to transpose into?

The Grand Archive is cool. I like the game more after going inside for the first time.
Armour was a simple boss but felt pretty intense.

So, Yesterday I reached Irithyl Dungeon...I mean, How deep this thing goes, lol? I decided to turn back after
Im very low on Embers, so I didnt want to just loose my life there.
BTW, how is the player population on consoles? While I know it was 3 Last night I left a whitesign, and Wasn't summoned after 10 minutes of waiting.
a giant was blocking my path

Currently I'm farming mound makers summons at the fire at anor Londo, and farming Concordes while I wait for summons. Both are very slow processes lol but is this basically the most efficient way to do it? I figure the invasions split up the monotony a little, they aren't always easy to win though lol. I figure an hour or two of this each day for a week will do it ...I'm def never going to get that wolf convenant leveled up though I've got summoned like once for that
He's apparently weak to frost.

Got there recently, got killed by a wannabe Mind Flayer and just turned the game off afterwards.
I guess I shouls stick for Boreal Valley for now then...
I also was thinking of creating my ever first STR build, I want to create a pure tank, no Magic, possible just a bit of Faith for Cleric magic for heal.

It's probably best to spend all of your souls and go through the dungeon a few times so you know the locations of all the jailers. They're not bad after you know where they are. Don't let the front of their body be directed towards you or your HP will be drained. They can't kill you with that curse thing though.

I think weak to magic too, going off a few speed runs I've watched the usually pick up some pale resin for Dragon Armour - at least they did before the skip!

bitch I'm taking calls.
You don't get a soul for that specific encounter. And there is no other soul weapon vendor. Maybe there will be in the DLC, but it will probably just be for DLC boss souls.

Hey guys did they patch out party chat on PS4? A buddy and I have been co-oping the game. We started around June 28th where it was working fine then we took a week and a half off. When we started back the Party Chat stops working once we summon each other and we have to resort to in-game chat. I glanced over patch notes and didnt see anything specific to Party Chat unless I'm blind.

Just wait until you reach the lower layer of the Irithyll dungeon. I had some FTS moments there.
Ah you're right! I just assumed you did because he was a boss, but to be fair he is before Firelink Shrine, so I guess that's why.
Has there been any update as to when the DLC would possibly come out? Last I heard was 2017, but nothing more definite than that.

I'm not surprised. It's definitely not one of my favorite areas either.

Oddly so far my favorite places and bosses have been Irithyll and Anor Lando.
