Arrgh that is the toughest boss i've faced so far - summoned two others and he still kicked our ass!

How do you join a covenant?

 

[Durante]

This was fun.
First 5 hours of actually playing the game, with my preferred class and actual online activity.

10 invasions, 9 invaders killed and 1 sent home by starting the boss fight.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Is the DS4 on PC still borked?

works fine for me, if you're using DS4 windows go to settings and click, "Hide PS4 Controller"

 

[Hentailover]

Whelp, being kinda experienced in souls games make it less threatening for sure.

I mean

Spoiler

I walked up to the big door to look through the crack and boss happened. I was like OH BOY. But then I just burried myself into his crotch and 80% of his attacks wiffed

ended the battle on the first try, without even really feeling intimidated.

Equipment and its that diamond shape icon. You can equip the covenant badges whenever you want.

Yeah, I have to turn off the filter. It's clearly overzealous.

So how does DS3 compare to Bloodborne from a gameplay perspective?

 

[Trickster]

What do you gain by having that glowing effect?

So how does DS3 compare to Bloodborne from a gameplay perspective?

BB was much more limited in what you could do with builds and such, since all bloodborne was, was you dodging and then hacking with your weapon. DS games offer a lot more variety in the respect. DS games are also somewhat more slow and methodical.

 

[mario_O]

ahh

Spoiler

You talked to Yoel of Londor and leveled up for free? If so doing that, you get the dark sigil under key items. Having the Dark Sigil will make you hollow every time you die. To heal the hollowing process or the dark sgil, you need the firekeeper souls and give that to the firekeeper. It will cost you X souls to prevent further hollowing. To remove the looks etc you can use a purge stone.

Cheers!

 

[Obliterator]

The Knights enemies are just ruthlessly murdering me lol

 

[tcrunch]

When did you guys buy the Tower Key for 20k souls? Early? Any good farming places early on?

Get summoned for Vordt, but imo don't bother with that Tower Key until you have completed (location)

Spoiler

Cathedral of the Deep

, unless you are looking for something specific up there.

At any rate, go back there once you've done that location for a marvelous surprise.

Where do I find the sun covenant

 

[Noray]

Greatswords' point wasn't ever damage.
It's poise and reach. Horizontal reach, mainly. Claymore light attack arcs like 180° and will disable pretty much all enemies.
They've always been bad boss weapons, and bosses are like the easiest part of the game this time around anyway.

Can't say this applies to Dark Souls 1 at all. A Zweihander R2 would stagger even Super Smough. It would pancake every single thing and one-shot most mobs. It's the total opposite of a bad boss weapon. They were a little less OP in Dark Souls 2 and even less OP in DS3, excepting pre-nerf FUGS. However, you can still chain knockdowns on any humanoids (with 1 exception I know of) with charged R2 attacks, which is still a huge plus. On bosses they aren't as good anymore because bosses are almost totally stagger immune for the most part. You may stagger a boss once or twice but not chain stagger like Super Smough.

The skinny guy on the left side of the base (or whatever it's called)? Yeah, tried him 3 times and gave up.

I only killed him because I stunlocked him into falling from a ledge.

Tough bastard.

 

[RefigeKru]

So at the Shrine I just tried to kill

Spoiler

Yuria

and failed miserably.

She's only just appeared hmmm

 

[Rhaknar]

so apparently I completely skipped a boss in

Spoiler

Road of Sacrifices

somehow

I went to

Spoiler

Farran Keep

and have been doing that, after exploring and getting all the items (or so I thought) and it seems that boss previously I skipped lead to a zone called

Spoiler

Cathdral of the Deep

Soooooo... I guess im going the wrong way lol

 

[TitusTroy]

I'm having difficulty with that

Spoiler

cursed tree boss...I can get him to 25% health but whenever I try and go for the egg sacs in the front of his body he always grabs me or attacks with his hands...maybe I don't have the right weapon/gear or am not leveled up enough- currently at Level 20 using the Battle Axe...he doesn't seem like he should be this difficult

 

[Lakitu]

Where do I find the sun covenant

Spoiler

2nd area after first main boss, go left of the big bonfire and go through door you need to open and then drop down the hole.

 

[tcrunch]

Where do I find the sun covenant

Spoiler

Undead Settlement

- (further details)

Spoiler

Find a building where the bottom floor is a long hallway with 2 jingle elves, 1 redeyed villager, a couple of cage monsters, and there is a door you can't open to your right as you get off the stairs on that floor. Proceed back up the stairs to the floor with all the hanging bodies and explore the vicinity for a hole to drop through.

You can always attack the new hand for some decent dmg.

if you want a hint:

Spoiler

once he is that low attack the hand instead

 

[rdytoroll]

That one area

Spoiler

Farrons Keep

is pretty much roll city. What were they thinking lol

 

[Ilive1up]

is it just me or do you get less souls than in previous games? getting over 10k souls is a chore.

 

[TitusTroy]

hitting his hands or the egg sacs in front is tough as he has a wide attack motion with his hands and he becomes really aggressive once you go in front of him

 

[Fallout-NL]

Is there a trick to successfully co-oping with people you know? We've both entered the same password but we just don't see each other's signs.

 

[Randam]

btw.: when can I join covenants?
found 2 can't seem to use them.

I think BB easily has best combat in the series including DS3... The transforming weapons were amazing and I keep pressing L1 to transform In DS3. However if you want more options, DS3 will please you

Equip them on the slot next to your rings.

You can just backstab them during their transformation animation.

 

[Brohan]

Anybody knows what the "summon sign visibility" option does exactly? The description says "Restrict the visibility of your summon sign in enemy phantom worlds."

What do they mean by that?

 

[Frillen]

If I have a weapon with dark damage is it bad idea to put a fire gem on it? Will the fire gem cancel out the dark damage?

 

[Ferr986]

Ok, those caged dudes in

Undead sentlement

scared the shit out of me.

Question about a covenant:

Can I kill Rosaria to get her soul before NG+

Also, I am never summoned for Darkmoon and it's very hard to invade.

I just sniped everything with my longbow and finished off whatever came running towards me.

That Crystal Sage, fuck him. It teases you as being so easy, but nope. It can take you out so fast.

There are a Shit ton of summons there too, lol.

His physical attack really threw me off since he was just casting shit the whole time. It ended up killing me since I just spent all my stamina wailing on him.

1. Find a spot where you don't expect everyone else to also place their signs
2. Move everyone there
3. Place signs and wait, if they don't appear within a reasonable amount of time re-place them

(of course, don't forget to actually be ember'ed up)

 

[JebaćBiedę]

Okay so should I upgrade Knight's default Long Sword? Or should I put souls only into stats?

 

[01DragonFly]

I just got the game for free, should I wait and play 2 or skip it and just play 3?

 

[Tenebrous]

Pontiff Sulyvahn

are hitting for 130/140 and he has a shitload of HP, so when phase 2 lands... Eek!

Thanks man, will give this a try.

 

[Fitts]

Yay I made it completely unspoiled! I'll check in with y'all after I've completed the game.

 

[Randam]

You can just backstab them during their transformation animation.

my defined claymore +2 wont kill them in 1 backstab and there sometime up to 3 at once.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Bloody hell!

Finished off a rather tough miniboss enemy, about to loot him and

FRAMERATE UNSUITABLE FOR ONLINE PLAY.

So... I reload, thinking it'll be like DS1 where you can quit and rejoin freely and loot stays.

NOPE! Both his corpse and whatever loot he dropped, which I assume was good loot, did NOT persist.

The insulting part is that my FPS counter was in the high-30's when it declared that.
