Is there a similar weapon like the butchers knife but more powerful?
If not then it will remain my weapon of choice.

Probably not for awhile, DS2 had to rely on Durante's stuff to swap/mod textures and last I checked he didn't update to DX11 for SOTFS so we might just be shit out of luck on DS3.
I could be wrong though.

So good.
I barely played around with it. I couldn't figure out if

I had a chat with customer service and they told me that it was due to overwhelming amount of pre-orders, and the fact that it would be delayed two days was on the invoice before I placed my order. Of course I didn't see it, because why would I feel like I needed to look since it was January.
I will be sure to check if I pre-order from them again. smh

I still love my Halberd but the much faster paced nature of this game really hampers its viability. And mobs of enemies attacking when you can only hit one with the light attack doesn't help.
I tried out the Lothric Knight Sword and wow is it much better. Might have to stick to this.

Been playing DS2 these past couple of days and DS3 feels so much faster. I feel like a regain stamina incredibly fast. Just got to the shrine.
I enjoyed fighting that big boy crystal lizard. So damn cool.

Fell asleep farming that sword last night. I got it no problem on another character, and now it won't drop.
It's an awesome weapon.

How does one obtain this magical sword?
I got some Lothric armor as a drop, but no sword... noooooo....
The same knights that drop the armor can drop it. Backtracking from the boss is a good place to farm. They can drop embers as well. And they are fun as hell to fight.How does one obtain this magical sword?

Played around two hours and two times I've had the game crash on me (PS4) with the message that the game is corrupt, and one time the loading into Firelink shrine never ended so I had to personally close the application.
Has anyone else run into this problem or is my PS4 fucked?

The best feeling is finding a bonfire in a time of desperation.
Plenty of exciting areas ahead. In fact, I didn't dislike a single one.
It absolutely does. I thought the same thing yesterday during my replay, but the first ~30% or so is the weakest.

Second boss down. Started out as a Knight with STR but now I'm mostly in light armor running DEX for Uchigatana haha. Might try out a few different weapons later though. I'm loving that the weapon skills make everything feel a bit more unique.

I'd set your expectations low, there's only one "new" area in the game.

I like the enemy designs a lot, and the three bosses have been mostly great. I like that I don't have to worry about torches or losing life on death, as those were one of the things about DS2 that just made progression a chore. The

Yeah it's a bit tricky but you can jump, land and grab it. Actually I slipped off the coffin as well and died shortly after I got the stuff
Im a pyro too. I used the fire gem and on my +1 Uchigatana and it does a sizeable amount more damage. I guess its because of the ring that increases fire damage? Im not sure if the fire dmg also scales with int/faith.

Quick question for the first area: why is there always a fog gate in

My fave move that boss is does is the

Fog gate is there because the outside area is still loading. Pretty sure they did this so that

I'm also curious about this now, as I'm also a pyromancer. Does levelling up INT/FAI help with fire infused weapons?
1hr20m till my test
~3.5hr till I can play DS3 for 11 hours straight to get ahead of you guys and keep helping
Well
Heres a few tips!
Really, as long as you don't fight at a point that could get you ganked, it's a free win.

-Parry, 2h your parry wep, strong hit. Crazy damage output
-They fight each other if you avoid them until a 3rd comes, use that to heal and such
-For the fire form, just parry and play safe, it's a glorified mob. You've killed harder to get here.

That's something that annoyed me about many bosses. There's far more phase 1 and 2 bosses it feels this time around. Or at least more clearly displayed phases where there's an obvious change

Question, if i make my katana/uchi into a fire weapon, does it lose its bleed ability? Or does just making it a fire weapon reduce scaling?
Yes. When you are

You also need to be Embered to do the summon stuff
Mostly done with the first two main areas.
Bosses are a tad disappointing so far. The boss design is great, but I beat every boss so far in maximum two attempts. None of the early bosses seem to be as hard as Father Gascoigne for example. But I'm sure there will be some really tough ones later on.
The second one was really cool with the giant on the tower who can help you or the onion knight coop quest.
There's a gem to undo infusions. Especially in the start it's a good idea to either gem your weapon raw or elemental, later when you your dex/str stat is high scaling will get better.

Absolutely, I don't like the firelink shrine but the music makes it bearable.
