This first knight enemy in the high wall is 100 times harder than that first 'boss' in the tutorial area.

Mirrah Set is the armour that Lucatiel wears in DS2, that's the one!
Your telling me after 4 fucken games they still can't balance that shit properly? How hard is it to just raise scaling damage and/or make elemental weapons more situational?
Gotcha, thanks! I didn't get too far into 2 due to burnout so I wasn't sure.
Edit: is it a better option than my current knight set?

It's kind of part of the game. Don't mash quite as much, be more patient. Eventually you can use buffered moves to your advantage. A good way to prevent anything really bad from happening is to just hold block and pull back instead of trying another action like rolling or attacking. When I get interrupted in a string or don't get some hitstun I was expecting, my finger goes straight for the block button and my thumb pulls back on the analog. If there's room for it and I know what attack the enemy is going to do, I'll try a roll.
I suppose if it's really bad, it could also be input lag in your set up.
Heh, it's funny that you say that, since a lot of people got stuck on the boss for like an hour and just maimed the knight
okay, joined the covenant. Only .4% of players have, go figure!
I'm out for the night.
Progress is going to slow down slightly tomorrow, then slow down really badly as I have a lot of test studying to do for mon/tues :/

I've covered a fair amount of ground (about 15 hours in), but I'm still salty at Uchigatana guy from the beginning. Still spent more time on him than any other enemy or boss.

Really? I beat him first try and got hit once. He attacks slow and has like zero tracking.

Servers down for anyone else?

4 here-- I fully blame this last one on +0 flasks though, since I had him the first time :/
Anyways, so I'm not alone...
Did From lose their touch with bosses and now they all fall into set types we all know how to deal with?
Seriously, I remember bosses being a decent challenge...? Or rather, not borderline facerolls.
A lot of the bosses in BB/DS3 are facerolls.

The lategame bosses are some of the hardest in the series imo. But yeah early bosses were pushovers for me.
Nice to hear
DS2 dlc is the one thing I never did, I want more false king allants and DS1 dlc level bosses.

You know, after playing every single Souls game (incl. BB & DeS), it might just be that we have gotten better with the mechanics. I feel like I'm having little to no issue in predicting swings of the larger bosses, and that makes the fights somewhat trivial
I gave up after a few deaths early on..just went back after 5 hours and I guess he fell off the cliff because there was an Uchigatana and some clothes laying there.
I'll take it.
The summoning process is so fast now...no problems whatsoever getting summoned, takes a few shots to summon someone though because it seems like they are getting snatched up as soon as they appear.

I spammed Long Sword attacks on him till he died, he couldn't even move.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Red Eye Knight with spear first time in DeS was always harder than most bosses.

I used a stock halberd and just spammed the special charge move a few times, that did the job.
Some good progress tonight.
Finally found myself an UGS, now I just need some Shards/Chunks to upgrade it. Sticking with the Claymore for now.
Didn't have much trouble with the first 3-4 bosses... until I got to the first Lord of the Cinder
.
Well I beat him on my 2nd try but the fight was still edge of my seat, knees weak, palms sweating, arm heavy type fight. That was the first boss fight in the game that got my heart racing. Great overall "gimmick" to the boss fight as well,
The area before that was really annoying with all the poison and stuff. Died quite a few times to greed trying to get that item in the horizon. Man the slow walk poison stuff is really lame stuff. Oh well, glad that's done with.
And yeah Dark Souls 3 is still a hard game for newcomers but it's easier for people who have played Souls games before. If you have survived through stuff like Orphan of Kos, O&S, Ludwig, Gwyn, Flamelurker etc. then DS3 shouldn't be much of a problem once you download the bosses. There's only so much you can stretch the game mechanics without making cheap as hell bosses.

I put an sharpen (or something) gem on my uchi boosting the dex, instead of the fire gem. But at 26 dex I still think it did more damage as a fire infused weapon. But as I want to do a dex build, I felt I needed to have a dex scaling weapon...
But I don't get things like this, how little armour really count for and why a regular club can out damage "The Kings Greatest White Stallion Masterclass Fire and Flame Great Claymore" in these games. Getting new equipment rearly gets me exited any more, as they will not improve my damage or my defence in any measure.
It's not too bad of a fight or anything. I just got randomed out because i got impatient and was mashing with no stamina yelling 'die already' at my tv.
double jump
you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
me and the atmosphere of the game haven't synced up yet.
Everything feels lifeless. I'm at the seconded boss door according to the messages.
The level design seems purposely convoluted and sparse as well. I wonder what the design philosophy was for this game.

As always, this question has probably been asked already but can you open all shortcuts in High Wall on your first way through? There's a locked door
that I can't seem to find the key for anywhere and I feel looked all over several times, and there's also that
. You don't need to tell me how I unlock it, just if it's possible at this point. I'm only up to the second boss right now.

LORE THEORY:
Mind you this is a gut feeling from like, 20 minutes of play, so I'm probably stupidly wrong, but...
DS2 and 3 are separate timelines that split from the endings of DS1.

Loving the game so far. Hate having to stop playing cuz real life. Question, I must have missed the whole instruction message that tells you about the new offensive moves. I know you have to be in two handed stance, but then what? What combo of buttons produces your character special move set?
Both are possible at this point, yes. Although not necessary (Also they're not shortcuts).
