No kidding?
Huh.
I honestly never knew that the small signs would show up. I never saw one in an area where I had previously beaten the boss.

NPC in Firelink Shrine spoiler (about 15 h in):
Can I kill Patches after he apeared as a vendor in Firelink to get the Onion Armor for the other NPC or do I have to buy it?
TGO
Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Where are people getting their armour equipment from?
The bitch at the fire shine only sells chainmail and the other stuff I found have been weak rags but I see people in Knight Armour and everything and I've still got the same stuff I started with.
if that helps.

Oh my god, toxic is fucking terrible. Made me burn through 9 estus flasks and it still didn't run out... poison fixing stuff also doesn't work on it for some reason...
Toxic requires a more expensive item to cure.
The only real advise is to really learn his delayed attacks and dodge them.
Personally this was the hardest boss in the game. His 3 hit combos are super deadly and the frame rate drops in the fight didn´t help me.

Stay as close as humanly possible. Like uncomfortably close. At least that's what worked for me.
Edit:
This is good advice. I had massive problems with the frame rate too. Really annoying when it would suddenly stutter. Like a sudden pause in the game and it wouldn't register that I hit the roll button. Then I got caught in a combo and that normally was instant death for my build.
Okay thanks. The delayed attacks are definitely what's getting to me. I'll just keep practising.
I think this is the last boss in the game for me. Kinda sad to be done already.

NP, not sure why it's there (or what it means), but you can turn the indicator off and still have shadowplay on, if you'd like.
Yep, it was pretty useful if you wanted a quick--and pretty much a guaranteed--way to become human again. After a certain amount of mobs/time your duty is fulfilled, and you're sent home.

Been doing a bunch of sunbro co-op at the

How many hours are you into it? There's always NG+ and there's new things to find. As far as I can tell, they've sprinkled different things for you to find in subsequent playthroughs.

URGH. There's no one I can summon with my Covenant. D:
When i am gonna find a zweihander? I have already reached to Cathedral. I want big ass swords and keep pumping to STR but all i got so far is butcher's knife
I don't know if you find it laying around somewhere but you should be able to buy it at that point already. Go check the merchants in Firelink Shrine.
Hug him. Dodge everything and hit only once or twice after his combos.

I really don't.
if u are comfortable using a shield
use dragonslayer armour's soul for a 100 physical 95 lightning shield. it's really good against his second form. just circle strafe him and poke every now and then. you can block every single one of his attacks with it and only take a little damage, or dodge
which covenant, at which SL?
At about 29 hours, SL 90. I'm still deciding whether I'll go into NG+ or start a different build. I do want to try how bad Sorcery really is in this game...
Nah I two-hand

What Covenant locks you out of summons?
Got to that
, beat it with two katana parries. I don't think I can repeat that... but I'll keep trying.
Trying to parry
did not go well.
I now carry a stack of whatever item cleanses it at all times. There's one for just poison, and other for both that's a bit more expensive.

Trying to parry
those crow things that attack a dozen times within a second
I thought I could shrug it off like poison. Two minutes and all of my estus charges later I was deeply regretting it.

ah i checked wiki and it seems like i missed him..Infact i missed tons of stuff. Undead settlement is a maze!
Stamina management is totally different from Bloodborne to Dark Souls.
Stamina in Bloodborne is almost a non issue, dodging takes a really tiny bit of stamina there so you can dodge a lot. Stamina management is harder on Dark Souls, everything takes more stamina so you can't spam dodges as much, so yeah you can't be as agresive like in Bloodborne.
Can't go directly to a move and start dancing around him and punish, is better to back off and wait for an open here.

SL 29 or 30, can't remember and I already shut my PS4 off to play the PC version. I can't even go get a drink after being sent back to my game without getting another message about invading.

somersault smash
Wolf Knight Greatsword
This has been my experience as well. It's too bad, because I wanted to do my first DS3 playthrough as a sword and board character for a change of pace since I usually do dexterity or magic, but I pretty quickly ended up just falling back into two-handing my weapon and dodging everything. I didn't try any of the greatshields, though, and maybe they're better. Still hard to imagine that losing chunks of stamina and possibly being guard broken is more effective than dodging into good position while taking no damage and possibly being able to backstab.
Couple of tips off the top of my head. Stay close to him, roll left and he'll whiff a lot of attacks. For phase one, focus on defense after the second watcher spawns and wait for the third to show up, since it'll pick a fight with one of the others. He has extremely low poise, so you can combo him for quite a bit longer than you'd think if you have the stamina for it. He can also be backstabbed if you strafe roll or front roll through some of his more grandiose attacks. Estus after a backstab if you need it. For phase two if you stay at range from him you can bait out his charging lunge which leaves a trail of fire on the ground. If you roll out of the way it'll often put you in prime position to punish.
Good luck!

I didn't mind the swamp area at all but now that I'm at the catacombs I cbf.
My least favourite Souls area, always so dark and depressing. Please tell me it's short.

Are small round shields better for parrying? I can't seem to parry very well with those 100 guarding shields they are somehow slow.. I kinda remember in DS 1 small shields have more frames for parrying.
