Bottom rows of slots in your equipment menu are for your items. Equip the firebombs there. Then you can press down on dpad to scroll through the equipped items, press square to use.

Thanks

Are there NPC summons?

 

[Rhaknar]

That's true until he transforms.

I one shot him (and im shit) by staying underneath him / behind him. So unless this is another case of bloodborne "game is bugged and bosses have less attacks", it works :/

 

[Sullichin]

Are there NPC summons?

Yeah there's NPC summons and invaders.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Yeah

Is this game's day 1 patch significant? I just moved, so I don't have internet in my apartment right now!

edit: On PS4, just to be clear.

 

[lionpants]

That first tip omg.

Works with spells too.

 

[firenskill2000]

Haven't played yet but is parrying more like DS1 or 2? I could never get the timing down in 2.

So how does the password co-op system supposed to work?
If you want to co-op with someone specific do you both need to enter the same password at the settings screen or?

Because for about 30 min now friend and I trying to connect but we don't see each other summon signs.

And if we don't use a password we get summoned to someone else before we see each other signs.

Any info about this?
Thanks

Anyone?
because password system might be broken right now?

Died to him about 10 times trying to use the strategy of staying underneath him like in his first form. Id go under him and he'd do an attack that has a hitbox underneath him as well(I think it's the attack where he does 2 really large sweeps), which would two shot me. Only way I was able to beat his second form was to use my fireballs and attack him from far away.

You set up the password
You put down a white soapstone somewhere where your friend can find it.

Your friend finds the sign and once he clicks it, it prompts him to enter a password which you set up at settings
After that your friend summons you into his world.

How do you take off armor?

 

[Zocano]

How do you take off armor?

Square (PS4) or X (Xbone) in the equipment menu.

 

[MUnited83]

ah yes that important platinum trophy... on STEAM

at least specify that you are talking about achievements / trophies and little else when you say "omg dont use boss souls". Gameplay wise what I said is absolutely true

Eh, if it is like the other games in the series, there's not a single boss soul that is worth the tradeoff for souls instead of the unique weapons.

 

[Jakartalado]

26 minutes to update..... Fuck...

 

[Dimmle]

That's true until he transforms.

Stay under him unless he winds up his figure skating move. In that case, be ready to dodge it three times. Then get back under that belly.

is there an easier way to get to...

the cursed tree boss...I either have to go through that annoying archer or deal with that giant rat in the sewer...I want to be able to just run to the boss without having to fight anyone...is there another way?...or do I need to kill the archer first before fighting the tree?

You don't like branching paths?

 

[Get'sMad]

I'm stating the obvious but....man it sure is cool finally playing this game in a language I can read!

Yeah been trying that off c but not really helping very much.
reddit user seems to have the same problem might be related that its super busy around big hubs right now.

are you saying there's another way by walking over some branches?

I was trying to be cute with word play, but you can alleviate your "aerial" problem.

You might be missing a bonfire (third one in the list of four). There is a run that you can make that doesn't involve fighting any enemies at all on your way to the boss.

Just do that now:

-> Go through the sewers and just ignore the rats and run past them
-> go up the ladder
-> go over the bridge in front of you
-> follow the way to the tower
-> take the elevator up and talk to the NPC
-> no more arrows
-> New area to the next true boss if you take the elevator completely down
-> Tree is optional

Buuuut, that is also the shortest way to the boss:

-> Through the sewers
-> Ladder up
-> Go the left way to the boss and run past everything easy peazy

Don't fight everything always.

Is it sad one of my favourite things about the game so far is that the DkSI and DkSII halberds are both in the game?

 

[theSlacker]

My collectors edition just got delivered, and god damn it comes in a flimsy as fuck box. I'm surprised it isn't more destroyed then it is from shipping.

Really envying eurofolk right now.

 

[Darryl M R]

Remote play on my macbook pro is pretty smooth with this

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Wait what...? I finished the game and I don't remember this xD

Spoiler

The whole, the game is in reverse thing. Firelink shrine hub being in the future, and the rest of the world we explore being the past

 

[BennyBlanco]

is there a covetous gold serpent ring equivalent?

Anyone? I really want the dark sword

 

[Frillen]

Should I just immediately use the Estus Shards I find?

Yes, there is no downside

It actually took me awhile to figure that out. Nice to see that these games are always referencing Solaire and his dialogue.

Spoiler

Partially kidding with the Solaire thing, but I do believe he's the only character in the first game to actually reference it directly that most players will actually meet their first time through the game.

 

[Audioboxer]

Anyone know how to get a lightning urn early? You'll probably know what I want it for! heh.

Also when does a seed from the giant tree finally fall?

 

[E92 M3]

Anyone? I really want the dark sword

Yes, there is exactly that lol

 

[Daft Punk]

Ok, is fat axe guy in the square below of Area 1 just the same strategy as the Tutorial Boss? He seems faster than the boss and I've just been running away from him.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Just make sure you are behind and tap r1

Ooooh tap? Here i was pressing and holding it. I'll try tapping.

 

[Putty]

Feels great to be back into the wonderful world that From create. I only really played BB from their catalogue and loved the life out of if it of course. This feels utterly familiar. Art style is simply joyous...

done - was there a shortcut back to the bonfire that I missed? I did the fight with only one estus flask and a ton of souls!

The areas really are massive this time around, though, a far cry from most of Dark Souls 2's areas. I imagine I've already overlooked quite a lot in the areas I've done.

By the way, is it worth levelling up the Brigand Axe? It looks like the Bandit Axe from DS2, and a regular axe is what I want - is it better than the Battle Axe?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Who here is part of the shieldless community in Dark Souls 3?

Who here does not need a shield to face the horrors?

WHO HERE TWO HANDED SWORD BRO?!

Representing.

Only my rolls and my katana.

 

[Dimmle]

Love that Bandit's Knife. I'll probably have to retire it at some point for a katana, though. Haven't found the one that everyone says is early game.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Does reinforcing chimes/talismans increase the amount of health they restore when you use healing spells?

Quoting for new page, as I'd really like to know this.

It's so good. I expected good but not that good.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

So this third boss

Spoiler

Greatwood

is starting to get annoying. The boss itself is actually pretty easy for the most part but

Spoiler

taking the patch past the dude launching spears at you is a pain.

About 1 in 10 runs end up with me even getting to the tree instead of getting stuck at the doorway and mashed.
