That's true; I was one of those people They did get a nice buff though in one of the patches.

I need to explore the dex weapons more. I've not been paying attention to them at all, except for spears.

I used various Katanas and Scythes. They are definitely doable, although their damage output is a little bit lower than heavy weapons, and less staggering ability. Scythes can stagger almost as well as heavy though.

One can easily complete this without touching L1/L2. Maybe once for a gimmicky bossfight.

Spears are not as bad as some say, the auto tracking in this game is nuts. Spears profit from it.

My most successful weapon in PvP is the Partizan. The horizontal R2 slashes catch people off guard and the stamina drain is very good. Spin Sweep is the skill, which is unique in this class.

I also do well with the Lothric Knight Long Spear but I don't use as often as other weapons.

Meh. To hell with this level 1 run. Not having fun. I could push through Bloodborne at 4 because I loved Saw Cleaver, but I hate all these weapons with low stat requirements.

I think FROM just tried to make SL 1 runs artificially difficult. DaS 1 SL 1s were pretty easy due to how OP pyromancy was. So they made it scale off INT/FTH in DaS 2, and now in DaS 3 there's stat requirements. Doesn't help that many weapons are shit tier.

Reminds me of the fog gate glitch where I can only stand outside the fog gate and see my hosts health constantly go down

[HeeHo]

I loved this game until the covenant grind. I just need to beat the final boss but I wanted to make sure I grabbed everything before I did. Rosaria and Mound is easy but the auto summoning not working is really killing my enjoyment. Most of my time spent is waiting now. Really lame. I wish From or Namco cared enough to adjust something way sooner. My SL is 110 and I'm not even getting Aldrich summons often enough. I need Darkmoon and Aldrich I believe.

I could grind the covenant items but, wow, is that not fun at all. Earning them via summons is way more satisfying. It doesn't help that I don't have that Mimic head piece either.

Am I really going to have to make a new character and stay within a SL range to get the covenant items? Also, does anyone know if you need to have all rings and spells on one character to unlock the trophies?

Then you reach to him in the same second of his death, while the red dude salutes you, after that he dissapears from your screen and you stand there like an idiot.

I spent a little time yesterday as a Way of Blue member using the ol' let me get invaded and hide behind the Fog Gate trick in Undead Settlement. Worked. Got 2 invaders and a Blade showed up. I then went to help that Blade out, and we won. So he got 2 Proofs at the very least.

Another Blade showed up a little bit after that too.

Really a big dickish thing to do, but kinda fun being an asshole, plus doing this to help my fellow Blades/Blues out. As farming for Proofs sucks.

Elaborate? What fog gate glitch? I'ma do it in NG+ because I don't want anyone to suffer like I had to </3

 

[GulAtiCa]

Well, not really a Fog Gate glitch at all. But more of something From Software prob didn't think through 100%.

In Undead Settlement (where I did this), if you haven't triggered the Boss fight yet, you can you know run into the boss room a little (quite a lot for that 1 Boss). You are free to enter and exit as you wish, but both co-op and invaders see a fog gate and are literally stuck. They can't even see you too (Not sure if it's 100% or just like see you a tiny bit).

So you can stand inside the boss room as you keep getting invaded and watch as confused invaders have no idea where you are! Heck, if an invader comes to the fog gate, you can still hurt them. I R2 my weapon to 1 of them and knocked them over and killed them with a 2nd hit after they got up. lol

The only issue I have found, is that I think sometimes it might auto-send the invaders back as soon as they invade if you are in there. So normally I stand just before the boss room and let them come (though not see me), and then run into boss room. Then they will try to search the map for you.

Would a password make it so that the blue sentinels that you summoned were your friends?

No. Its been tested by various members of the community and I have tested numerous times, no truth to it at all unfortunately.

Watching ENB fight bosses is the most frustrating thing sometimes. Phase 1 of NK its quite obvious that locking on is better than unlocked. That way you dont lose sight of the small target. The only time you should unlock is to run away or if youre underneath him.

I see why people complain so much about the camera in this phase. I say depth perception is the more difficult aspect of it. I had trouble as well but after a couple of tries it was obvious that locking on is the way to go.

Fight is supposed to be fought using a combination of both; locked when he is flying to keep track and unlocked when close.

The camera will get you killed locked on in phase 1. It's never a good idea to lock on to large, fast moving bosses in From games.

 

[Deku Tree]

Well just got 300k souls and 2 Concords in about 45 minutes lol. I think I would need to re-spec to do it faster. My STR/DEX Dark Sword build is no good for one shoting the Knights. I have to actually spend time dueling with them a bit.

If I go unlocked, because of the depth perception issues and not being set on a target, I miss way more attacks. Plus dodging the Sword slam and running to the head after the fire breath is easier with a target. Unlocked for a big boss that has weaknesses in their legs makes sense but for one with a head weak point I dont see the point. But to each their own I guess.

Does people know you can change the lock on between the two possible targets?

Heh, I think someone did that to me the other day. I invaded in Undead Settlement, and couldn't find the host no matter where I searched, smashed pots to find a chameleon etc.

I kept getting blue spirits though. But, if the host's intent was to get others their proofs, it failed with me, because I murdered at least 5-6 blue spirits (at one point I got exactly two spawning at the same time and they spawned right on top of me, haha - killed them both anyway ) before one of them got me. xD
If his intent was to let invaders get forked tongues, however, that certainly worked. xD

It's not perfect, but with some camera aim, I lock on on the target I want most of the time. And If it "misses" you can just change it again.

It's much better than playing unlocked.

 

[Robot Pants]

Are the servers kinda funky right now? I seem to be getting a decent amount of lag when I'm killing enemies in other peoples worlds. The health bars are delayed

I only noticed that getting a parry today seems impossible, even after the second swing. Probably because of the latency.

I can't be the only one who finds dancer to be... slow and dull, can I? I feel like she's just too lethargic of a boss, bleed demolishes her health and is easy to stack on her early due to her sluggishness, for most of the fight and by the time she gets "active" she's more than half dead and you can probably kill her after her canned "spin to win" goes off the first time.

Dancer is weird, in the sense that sometimes she doesn't do much other than circle you doing nothing and sometimes she's nuts.

Btw, I had something weird happening to me. Was cooping A

and during the fight I kept getting some kind of purple orb on me that didn't let me cast spells? The hell was that? That boss is literally the one that I cooped the most (with AW) and it's the first time I saw that.

Find a friend, have him summon you as a Mound Maker and kill. Repeat. What system are you on?

I may well have never seen this active-Dancer, lol. She's always been a sloth in her first phase where she'll move around, swing once or twice, do her sword drag, try a grab... and by then she's already forced into Phase 2. The way she's canned into a mandatory spin at the start of it also makes it really easy to chip off another 1/3 of a her health while she's helplessly spinning into a corner of the room. If you're a mage, she's effectively dead when she starts that spin.
