Something about

Ornstein and Smough and the archers. I didn't know they were in the game. Unless you just meant to post that in a DS1 thread or were talking about DS1 in which case I misread you post and I apologize, but the post had no context at all.

Oh dude, I was talking about DS1. Haha. It was in response to someone saying they didn't have trouble with O&S. Maybe I should have quoted that.

Hahahahahaha haha... Oh man... Ohhhhhhhhhh man.
I wish I could go back in time to experience that feeling again...

Like that feeling in Dark Souls 1 when you claw your way back to Firelink Shrine bonfire to find it's gone out... All thanks to opening a cell and freeing a guy.

You're like "Fuuuuuuck." But emotions... It's fun to experience them.

Question for those that have beaten the game:

How hard is Pontiff Sulyvahn considered relative to most bosses in the game?

Spoiler

As usual YMMV, but for me he's the third hardest.

Spoiler

NK #1, Soul of Cinder #2

 

[Nazo]

Dunno if it's too late to help you, but don't lock-on on that fight. Like, make it work without. You'll do better.

I tried that but I spent a good chunk of the fight staring at feathers and it would just get me killed. I've found that locking-on and unlocking at specific times helps in the first phase works well. The second form just plain old kicks my ass.

I don't think there's many people in that area. It's the only time I've been invaded by red eye orbers while solo.

Good news, you came to the right game

Dammit... you're not wrong.

Haven't quite beaten the game (got two bosses and one optional left) and found him the hardest so far. Only one boss after came close for me in difficulty but as I haven't quite finished I can't say for sure.

Is it me or are the servers on fire? Had trouble connecting for co-op all evening, and now I straight up can't log in.

Well, you could dodge.

As for my own problems... Should have rolled something else aside from dex. The weapons suck.

 

[Astral]

Are there any awesome spears with good DEX scaling? I loved Pate's Spear in DkS2.

Mound makers needs to be updated to make the covenant not useless after the first week. Make it so they can get covenant items by Killing a good ammount of mobs or something.

 

[pablito]

Man I'm so bad at pvp but the shit is still fun and hilarious.

After restarting I found the

covenant and started the grind. Whenever another

What?

You can just put your sign in the floor and have duels.

And you can also invade normally.

I thought it was one of the tougher fights. I would probably put it in the top 3 in terms of difficulty. Of course that's just subjective based on play style, but I had a good amount of trouble with him compared to some others.

The answer is right in front of you and in your question.

Yep it's for duels. The way I thought it worked was that the host seen your summon sign as a friendly and instead summoned an invader which would of been cool.

I didn't even chop the bridge. I saw a note that said to destroy it but when I turned to do it I saw a shit ton of skeletons going after me so I ran the shit out of there lol

You can also invade as a mound maker, put the mound maker item covenant and use red orb. Done.

Is probably the best way to invade actually, you can complete an invasion killing one phantom.

You can just invade as one. Though that moment you spawn and it says "kill the host or THREE phantoms"...

 

[Deleted member 325805]

That's me done for the night, had a beast session today where I got multiple bosses down and boosted my Butcher's Knife from +6 to +10, easily my best day with the game so far, I was just on fire. I'm getting the feeling I'll be done in a couple of days. Currently sitting at strength and vigor soft cap, now working on endurance and vitality! The game really is fucking incredible it has to be said.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm sure I can do it but I need to take a break for the Day. I've gotten pretty good at the first phase and can get through with most of my Estus I really just need to learn the second phase and I should be golden.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Can anyone explain to me why invaders can't be targetted or attacked by mobs?

Because is not fun being ganked by four dudes and add foes to the count.

They need an advantage.

Spoiler

There's also an item that turns enemies against red invaders.

 

[J-Rod]

How do you remove the curse status effect?

There is a statue in

Spoiler

undead settlement that you can interact with to remove curse or sin. You access it through the sewer with rats. I'm not sure if that is the only way, there may be a consumable that does it too.

 

[Korosenai]

Oh, actually, yeah that would be the better takeaway.

22k souls, man. I hate that place.

And that's the issue for me. I can pop a red eye orb and find games all day long.... But in that covenant you don't get the sword grass you need when invading... You have to be summoned through the covenant and that never happens, so I can't rank up in the covenant.

 

[Zank Frappa]

Do I need to save up certain Boss Souls like the Giant Souls in DS2 to ease up the Vendrick boss fight? Is there such mechanic in DS3?

Why the hell is the game forcing me to carry all the useless items with me? I have moved pretty much everything to the bonfire so that I don't have too much stuff to clutter the menu but once I sit on the bonfire again all the stuff goes back into my inventory. I don't use any of these ever so please let me dumb them into the box.

I definitely felt this way. Lots of one and done bosses. Couldn't truly figure out if it's just my experience with Souls games or if it was actually easier.
