what?
burning this improves your estus flask?
I thought this was something like the kindling in DS2

Yes, except if you have a shield whose L2 allows you to use your right handed Weapon Art. Then you remain at 1H.
What happened to the soothing soul sucking sound when you kill an enemy? I miss it dearly.
Also, is anyone else having issues telling when they are running low on health during a fight. It seems I'm having trouble telling damage done to me in real time because it's leaving a similarly colored "after trail" of health for a moment and when looking quickly at it makes it look like I have more health than I actually do. Same with stamina. It's like the color difference isn't enough for me to differentiate quickly enough.
I do have a slight colorblindness but I've died several times during a fight thinking I had more health than I actually had or run out of stamina when it looked like i had more and I've never had this issue in the other games.

Yes. It's before that boss but very very close to it.

First thing you mention.
Some shields allow you to use weapon arts instead of parry or shield bash.

I think I'm going to go for the
Cathedral Knight UGS
For pure strength, should I infuse it with a Heavy gem?
Other than that, I'm willing to try out the
Standard Great Axe.
So yeah.
I'm currently at 30 STR.

Will have to do a bit more exploring around there. Thanks!
I honestly thought my game was glitching or something until I realized they may had removed it for some reason.
It doesn't feel good, please FROM release a patch to fix this nonsense

Ohhh, it's a parry! I thought that move was supposed to break shield guard, and when it didn't I was just confused. Nice. I'll play around with those more. Thanks!
Newb speculation: I'm getting Berserk Godhand vibes from the five thrones.
Also, the
is straight out of Berserk's Conviction arc.
Managed to get to the third boss last night, really enjoying it, but really hope the ambient audio bug gets fixed ASAP, it's driving me nuts.
Also, the
Undead Settlement

Some shields, instead of being able to parry or shield bash, instead let you use your equipped Weapon Art with L2.
The Silver Eagle Kite Shield is an early one like that. Press L2 with it and an Uchi and it'll go into the Uchi's holding stance. Let go and it'll revert back to 1H + shield.

Huh?
Draw slash is amazing.
Great way to clear groups of enemies fast. Wide arc and comes out fast
Ive only used the parry once but im still practicing

Yes it is
Infuse it heavy yes. Late game if you pump dex into it, refined will get more dmg out of it. At +10 with 40 STR and 40 DEX, the CKGS is 275+219 with Heavy, 266+288 Refined, and 297+237 Normal. Essentially, early game heavy, late game refined.
For what it's worth, BKUGS +5 is 322+290 (non-infusable). I use the BKUGS.
They did change it. You can read about it here.
It seems much better this way. Reading up on how it worked in DSII, sounds really stupid.
That's a late game boss. The doll is
in the cathedral of the deep. Go up past the crystal sage boss bonfire and follow the path.
Also it's not a badly designed boss you just gotta roll it well. I actually love that boss myself.
14 hours and I dont even know who that is. Either you already played the game, you are rushing / not exploring or you are incredible at souls games and are 1 shotting every boss I guess, and none of those applies to the majority of the player base
anyway,

Awman,
. I didn't know. NPC spoiler.
First time I met
Not sure if
questline starts earlier than this, but that was my first meeting. Out of the blue! <3 From. My brain is dreading worrying about all these questlines, but I'll do a wiki guide playthrough for stuff I miss/mess up.
Patches is in the game
First time I met
him he trapped me in Firelink Shrine.
Not sure if
his
Exile Greatsword?
I used it for a good portion of the game, but I switched to the Dark Sword for the last portion of the game.
I love the moveset and it's fast for its weapon type, just wasn't cutting it for me on the later bosses.

Well if it works like it did i. Previous games it would reduce incoming damage at low health
His quest line starts earlier but it's hard to activate. It's INCREDIBLE though if you can find it. I <3 the DS3 quests so much.
I couldn't find it my first playthrough signed.
Thanks!
Wasn't that bad in DS2, it was about not leveling VIT at all. Although it's true that probably makes more sense here, cause is not tied on what you level.
She was the boss in the beta version. I think it was awesome as fuck , although maybe they buffed/changed her in release? It was hard yeah, you really need to step up your dodges, I would advice to forget block if you're doing it, also learn her movements because they can be very erratic. And run the fuck out of her when she uses the spin2win.

thanks for that info.
I definitely think
will be a Marmite boss. I really thought it was cheap when I was fighting it but when I beat it I liked the atmosphere and design. But yes, some of the attacks are bullshit.
Yes. People who feel they are in mid-game, do not click this spoiler.

Thought as much, it was a bit of an abrupt intro. Hope I haven't missed any gestures/items, but as I said if so I'll clean everything up in NG+.
This is turning out to be the true DS sequel we needed, with lots of fan loving.
It increases defense. It's poorly worded.
No gestures or items missed. Just a funny scene and good dialog.

I must be doing things wrong. I'm like level 20 and some of these guys like the big asshole with the axe are just too much. I can't seem to make progress as fast as previous souls games. Even the lothric knights are whooping me.
I think it is "randomly" refills after beating a certain amount of enemies or something. I haven't found any pattern though.
Yeah, I didn't think it was bad at all. Was kinda anxious because of how badly people talked about it but once you knew how to avoid the eternal spin it wasn't a particularly bad fight imo.
Yeah, those are the worst! I fear for having to visiting the location again to get to an optional area later on...

Individual enemies are definitely tougher and they slowed progression down with upgrades it seems
Lothric knights are no joke. The big guy with the axe, try hugging him and circling to his right (your left) then rolling under his swings. When you get behind him he's open for backstabs. If he casts his spell that's another backstab opportunity
Your level isn't an indication of your ability to kill stuff so much. Your skill and knowledge through trial and error are more important. Weapon upgrades and stats help but patience and game knowledge arent stats you can level up at the fire keeper.
Dive in. I'm playing on both PC and PS4 with PlayStation my main game...no problems yet (Although smoothly silk movement doesn't compare to 60fps).
You
need the doll, yes. If you read the description for it, you'll get a hint as to why you needed it. You can get to the area that requires it before getting the doll but it's not terribly obvious.
It seems killing strong enemies will sometimes give you an additional flask but I'm not 100% sure what rule actually governs that. My hunch is that it only happens the first time you kill that particular spawn but that's just speculation.

I knew someone was missing when I killed enemies!
Also does anyone know why you sometimes get random health fills? I haven't left any messages on the ground and it is a good boon but no idea why it happens.
