Spam light attack. Literally just go in and mash R1/RB. They barely do anything damaging if you are in middle of the group. You get occasionally knocked down from the AoE. I also used Battle Axe so no need to change it.

You can just walk over there, the path is just invisible. Kinda creepy walking out there.
The reason I almost Homeward'd out was because there was a message like 10 feet away pointing to a dead end that said something like "Despair...". Thought I was out of luck.

Your too high of a level right now. Most people aren't going to get that high so you are going to miss out on a lot of that covenant stuff. That's why your not finding any matches. Probably also that people at your level aren't using way of blue covenant.

yeah soo far to me it is BB was easy for me and even ds2 wasnt so bad other than one or two bosses lol.
ive probably missed about 20+ levels from dying so much...not sure what it is
He's after Pontiff Sulyvahn in Irithyll. Go out the cathedral where you fought him, then turn left.
Thanks, beat him on the first try using that tactic! You're a life saver!
The Deacons are probably strong against Dark weapons, since they're Deacons of the Deep after all, and the deep seems synonymous with dark in this game. Perhaps remove the dark gem or use another weapon.

I just found out that if you press R2 while dashing, it does the Forward + R2 jump attack.
I actually found this to be the easiest of the 5 (6 if you include Scholar).
I died a handful of times, and most of that was from bad jumps because I suck at platforming.

Damn mimic treasure chests. They always scare the shit out of me, and even after you know it's a trap, they're still a decently tough fight >.>

Man, I knew this game would be not for the weak of heart, but sheesh, I'm constantly stressing out, lol.
I'm the type of gamer that likes to analyse situations and take time for choices. It's why I like games like Assassin's Creed and the Batman Arkham games, in which you often have the possibility to monitor your enemies, sneak up on them, strike and hide. I used Eagle Vision and Detective Mode all the time
That sort of thing kind of hard to do in DS3 so far, but I'm learning. I beat the first boss in one go, so I guess I don't completely suck at it. I did have just a tiny, tiny little bit of health left though..
I'm finding the atmosphere and graphics overwhelmingly good, by the way. It's oozing dedication.

No joke.
Only reason I found it was because some kind soul put a message on the invisible walkway so it looks like it was just hanging in mid air.

Help me out here I'm so pissed off.
Early game:
So I delivered
to
, and then noticed he was selling the Bastard Sword, which is exactly was I was looking for to finally ditch the Broad Sword. So I went on a quick quest to gather the required souls but now
. What gives? I want the sword :/
Game is awesome so far btw
Early game:
So I delivered
Loretta's bone
Greirat
he's only standing there curled up complaining about Loretta being dead
Game is awesome so far btw
Yeah. The addition of the flying roundhouse kick to them was quite the surprise...
Playing online should make that one pretty obvious then.

for the people that like the butcher knife, did you find a better weapon with the same feel?

Especially a weapon with nice big sweeping attacks. I was able to take them down on my first try using the
Exile Greatsword with fire infusion

I'm finding it pretty easy so far with the exception of the frost knight on the way to the third area, who kicked my ass pretty hard. When the game is good it's SO good, though.

Dark Souls 1 is probably better for a person who like to take the time to assess enemy movements. In 3 combat is faster so you really don't have as much time to assess the situation.

Just beat the sixth boss the D
eacons. Pretty Damn easy after getting the wolf knight's greatsword. Much easier than the abyss watchers.
I believe it's inventory.
I'll be switching to PS4 once all of the achievements are obtained. Xbox seems to be too barren.
Once you find the ashes towards the end of the game
I've been trying to play as slow as possible. I guess, now I have no choice but farm knights =/
Sometimes he's just sad. Just leave and come back.
I think I read that weapon scales S with strength eventually, so it's worth sticking with if you like the feel.

Oh I see. Thanks!
Absolutely. Never died this much and made so little progress, also no area made me just straight up quit the game and not turn it on for the rest of the night like Farron, yes even that area in DS1.

So I have a bunch of items that I should give to the master pyromancer and the sorcerer, but I have no idea where they are? Did I miss them, I'm up to
. And no, the pilgrim won't accept the items even though he sells sorceries.

Two quick questions GAF,
Any idea how to tell when I've parried successfully?
And
Why is when I store stuff in my storage box, its usually back in my inventory when I go to the bonfire? Seems a bit odd...

So I have a question about
NPC spoilers.
Greirat. When he says he'll go out and steal shit, does he mean from other NPCs in firelink shrine? If I say yes, what happens? I haven't done it and haven't really talked to him a long time, so I'm just curious. Should I go back and say yes?

About parrying, the enemy will usually be open for attack after you do it and if you hit r1 after it should do a critical hit, similar to if you stab them in the back.

If you talked to them in their original locations, they should now be in Firelink. Check to the left and right of the blacksmith.
There's also a very distinct audio cue, it's a sort of "BONG" sound.

Interesting to see such varied responses! I wonder if builds matter a lot for difficulty.

Nah I never found them I only found miracle girl and the thief, have no idea where they could be.
you don't need to hit the bracelets. It's all right side
Wait, what do you mean by that? I tried not hitting the bracelets and it was so slow I knew I'd die to something.

I'm in RoS now. Had one mimic chest and no illusionary walls so far. Did I miss a lot?

There's an item in the Crucifixion Woods, left to the stairs where you drop to Farron Keep. It's on a stupid ledge, can't jump on it. There's nothing quite around it. How do I get it?
