Dark Souls III |OT| Thy path has been tested, now fight unkindled ash

Just started yesterday. My first Souls game after having gotten in on the series with Bloodborne, and I feel like I have a lot of practice to do here. It will take quite a while getting used to dodging and healing slower. First boss took me about 8 tries which is scary since all the pre-release talk had been about how easy that boss looked to Souls veterans.
Anyway, here is a TOTAL noob question: I rolled a pyromancer, but how do I cast my fireball? I've equipped the pyromancy in the top slot, and (I think?) I have changed my right hand weapon to the casting hand -- but all that comes out with R1 and R2 are regular punches.

I freakin' would actually. I feel so bad right now.
But seriously, what do I do?

Yeah, I got that in the middle of a battle. It sucks.
Finally, I'm starting to figure out parries:

From has been really harsh to invaders for the past few games. It keeps getting harder and more restrictive while co-op largely remains game-breakingly easy.
I seriously wish I could play with my friends without removing 90% of the game's challenge.
Low levels seem barren.
it did indeed, whew
Yes, I did, but how can that path lead all the way back to the other side across the bridge? They are different areas. The picture I showed is all the way left to the
two dragons that were guarding the door.
PS4 or Xbox? Also, what level? Seems to be very hard to get opponents on Xbox.
started lastnight with a Pyromancer, got rekt hard. started a new character as a knight and crawled my way to the second bonfire at the wall of lothric
i don't think i've bombed this much out of the gate in a Souls game before. should've brushed up on my skills leading up to this.... game does not dick around. not that i really expected otherwise though

I had more trouble with the
than I did with the first boss. First boss was down on the first attempt but I must have died 6 times on the other guy. o.o
Blue shard/crystal beast in the starting area
I've had this happen multiple times, once even during a bossfight. Fucking disgusting design choice.
I don't think so. You can find a bunch of swords and a good shield there anyway if you want to try playing it as a knight
Undead S
question.
How do I get on this building? There is some loot and a suspicious looking
up there I want to explore but I just can't find the right spot to access it.

E: Nvm, got it. Drop down on to the pathway under the bridge. And I also found a new bonfire lol

Try leaving and re-entering the area. Prepare your best grovel gestures.

Thats odd
You should just need to equip the pyromancy flame in the right hand and cast... You out of FP?

Stop using a shield. Seriously Noomi, learn to dodge roll, you will excel.

I'm nearing the end of my playthrough and I think it has a chance to be know as the best dark souls game.
The game never has any bad parts and most of the game is superb,the level design in particular is amazing.
Combat is fast and fun (I have been playing a knight) Just like bloodborne and humanoid bosses are a huge step up from the other 2 dark souls games.
That being said It seems the game is kind of short? I mean anything coming off dark souls 2 with the dlc will seem short.
After I beat it I will have to sit down and think about how I feel about the game as a whole but as it stands right now the game is amazing and a worthy successor to DS1.

Just be prepared to get good at it.
Enemies are tough and chain attacks/close distance quickly
You really have to be clever and on your toes in this game!!!

There is a 100% physical blocking shield in the first post-tutorial area btw.
Go inside the building instead of continuing to climb down after climbing down the ladder from the roof with the mutating enemy
PS4, I'm level 105
Any plus +10 weapons? It seems Xbox is having trouble or the population is dead. I am constantly trying to invade and it barely works.
Symbol of avarice, gold serpent, Crystal rapier in off hand, lots of rusted coins and you don't need much in luck stat. That's 360 discovery even with only 10 luck.

Yeah luck seems like a worthless stat since it only raised one point with each level up....
Well, yah, no shit you'll be getting a lot of invading then. Most people are doing their pvp focus around SL 100.
I'm referring to actual progression invasions. Invading low level, wrecking lowbies. Anything not in the SL100 range at the "hot spots" is dry as hell and it's a shame.
And the window for the watchdogs is tiny. Just playing casually and leveling up and I outleveled the avg player levels so didn't get any invading done whatsoever.
I had a bunch of fun invading around SL20 in undead settlement but it was almost always 1v3 and frustrating.
Thanks for your answer. My guess is I must have screwed something up in equipping my right hand, I'll have to do a deep dive in the menus when I play tonight.
Oh I just realized that after 5 playthrougs I still don't have Symbol of avarice
where can I get it? pleas don't tell me it's a very random drop from the chests

I have no idea how you can even die to that first thing, barring you picking depraved...

Is that where
there's red eye knights standing? I think you need to drop down from the area outside Dragonslayer armour boss
Well you didn't specify low level invading. I think most people want to get their build set up before they start PVPing.
The zones you can get proper fights in are kind of limited. But the Watchdog zone is pretty active with NG+ people at lvl 100. I can't go 10 seconds without getting an auto invade as an Aldrich Faithful.
Cathedral of the Deep
giants
I raised some walls
I cn actually go deeper down to where the second (hell, third) shortcut was, but clearly theres something going on with these
giants

Ehh, I'm getting invaded quite a lot at SL 40 or so. I'm on PC though so maybe it's a bit different. None has bested me yet! (Sometimes it's simply because I have more flasks than an invader gets lol)
I kind of agree that there's too much DS1 fan-service. I'm still early but
I have already see Catalina and Astora NPCs, and the Black Knight too (a BK theret makes no sense yet IMO), let alone Andre being in the hub for some reason.

It is.
But if you're lucky, you may find it on the ground where you previously killed a mimic.
For example I killed what I think is all mimics in the game (at least those I saw) and when I went to the one in Lothric Castle below Sunbro's statue well afterwards, it was waiting for me as a shiny.

Buy a bunch of undead charms (an ash early game near the bonfire between
crystal sage and cathedral
Lothric castle, near Dragonslayer armor.
Oh, sorry. I wasn't 100% sure where the item was.
Yeah, that's what I've been trying but no luck
Can't find where. Any ideas what the item is?zackmorris

When you hit the right dpad (or left depending on where you equipped it) it should show the "flame" where the axe was. If there is nothing there you will punch, if the flame is there and the blue bar under your health isn't empty you should cast. It take a little while on start up before the flame comes out.Thanks for your answer. My guess is I must have screwed something up in equipping my right hand, I'll have to do a deep dive in the menus when I play tonight.
I feel genuinely guilty invading and killing people but I need to platinum
Do I lose my souls if I die as an invader? Also will my sin level be mega high now? I can't find a way to check it. Do I just go to the guy in the sewers to reset my sin?
You can lose souls if you invade as a purple or red. Invading as a blue (auto invade) doesn't make you lose souls. In not sure what sin even does in DS3
Thanks!

*shrug*
It killed me numerous times. Even one shotted me as a knight. I guess I am just not as skilled as ole Hentailover.

Did you try from
the platform the white dragon is sitting on? Also not too sure I remember seeing the drop path to it but didn't bother going down to get it.
