So, apparently,
talk to her beforehand, then kill Horace and DO NOT TALK TO HER AFTERWARDS which is what I did, and apparently that fails the questline

Best boss in the game. He took me a while and I was always dying when he had about a 1/4 health left, it's just about perfecting his moves and keeping spatial awareness.
- Arrows: In both phase 1 and 2. Back well away when he raises the bow. In Phase 2, back up and then start running in the opposite direction. Don't stop running until the arrows stop but try to angle your run so you end up behind him so you can attack. Sometimes he's extra evil and sends a beam at the end of the phase 2 arrows so watch out for that.
- Twinkling lights: Wait for these light glowing orbs to get as close to you as possible and do a quick roll to set them loose.
- The beam: just roll to the left, this is most usually followed by an immediate second beam so be ready to roll that one too.
- Don't attack him at the front, it's just not worth it.
- Attacking the tail will sometimes stagger him but don't get greedy, if you get caught when he's teleporting it can cause huge damage.

Just take your time and be safe. It's a great fight, let me know if you have any other questions.
I don't think you NEED to do that to get down there (

I didn't want to fuck with the
giant worm
ballista can be easily baited to shoot it to death. Considering how its animations were freaking out I'm not 100% sure this is intentional but it seemed okay.
Speak to her now.
What you do after that depends on if you're trying to get the Hollow Ending or not.....
You can also just shoot the fucker from the ledge to it's left (if you're standing behind it.) It never attacks you there.
I`m a souls noob too. I struggled with him as well. Here`s some tips.
During his first phase stay at a distance, rolling away from his attacks until he does his big leap attacks. When he does that he`s stuck for a few seconds. Dive in and punch his face. It`s slow but gets you used to rolling to avoid attacks.
The second phase is a shock to the system but the trick is to go in close and watch his feet rather than the abomination head. That lets you easily see which direction he`s facing. Use roll to get on his sides and behind if possible.

Let him sell it. the First boss is killed in a couple hits if you've a good starter build/class.
It will only get harder after that first boss. And yes you need to beat it to even open the door behind him.
Wish him luck!
I'd have liked it a *lot* more if the first phase wasn't there, but the second phase was longer and harder.
you really need to massage the camera controls for lock-on in the right places, and once you get it down it completely trivializes the first fight since the dragon goes down in 2 groups of attacks when it does flame breath. I fought the boss a *lot* because his second phase required precise timing, so I was annoyed with the lead-in
Anyone know why some Red Phantoms have a sort of orange glow to them? Like they have ranked up in the covenant or something.
I've given 30

Also, where are

yup.
sat right behind a rock behind the worm. ballista shot it to death while the worm essentially lost its mind trying to figure out what its supposed to be doing.
I'm sure this is the one you are talking about lol. Just straight up Gut's sword from Berserk. It's an ultra greatsword but just alled the "Greatsword"

Sorcerer I believe is right above the group of enemies right before you kill Crystal Mage. Pyro is in undead settlement, right after you open the doors in the barn leading to that big group of grenade tossing enemies, roll down to the path and you'll find a bonfire. Keep going and you'll be on top of the house and he's up there in a cage.

Agreed, the Souls games really shine through how much they can be replayed. My first playthrough of Demon's Souls took me around a week, but now it also takes me around 1-2 hours. That's great design imo. I'm not even a Dark Souls 2 hater, I enjoy the game a lot in fact, but I'd say it's length is probably one of the things it got wrong. Dark Souls 3 on the other hand has the best and most consistently high quality level and enemy design in the series for me. That's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned and I'd rather they not worry about length. I'm going to end up playing the game for thousands of hours anyway. Trying out different builds, routes, multiplayer etc.

Getting real sick of invading and one or more of the host's summons are just sliding around. Hard enough to deal with a 3v1 when I *can* tell what they're doing.

I had a hard time with that boss but I ultimately defeated him by being completely erratic and ludicrous. Because,
if you attack it after rising up from the ground, you can usually get one hit in before it decides to fire arrows and do all that stuff. Being agressive actually helps in this one.
Thanks! Never knew you could get up there. Will go looking for both of them!
Oh really? I might become sunbro now that I have maxed the
invasion
That thing has the worst hit detection in the series by a mile. It's, like... what. What is it supposed to be doing? How is melee supposed to hit it?
I had this problem for a few hours yesterday. I think it's the servers. Are they updating them today or has that already happened?

Thanks, seems having a shield isnt worth it so ill probably go without for the fight to lower my weight a bit. Guess i better jump right back in.

Had it on and off since launch, don't think it would be anything related to servers, aside from them being poop on occasion. (or that person's connection to them beng poop)

get behind it and stay there. It's easier without the ballista but still. When you hit him like twice, he he'll start to move a little before he starts spinning. The spinning is when you don't want to be anywhere near it.
Just keep hitting, going back and hitting when it's not moving.

so which ending would be considered the "good" one from a moral standpoint?

lol okay thnx. Basically it only fucks up your appearance?
I think that depends on your own interpretation of the events of this game and of DS1's.
I'd say only one of the endings is truly "evil"

Can someone share a good quality build? Started deprived and using the dual kats, also is it worth it to get under 30% equip?
Yesterday for a few hours it was literally every person I faced, either as invader or in organised fights, and my connection was fine. It was even the ghosts you see sometimes. That's why I was thinking it was the servers. But yeah generally it's just a bad connection.

I think killing it with the
ballista is intentional. There is a trench behind it that is positioned perfectly as it is safe for you and every arrow hits the worm when standing in it.

This is crazy talk, not that you can speed run, anyone can do that with any game. But this is consistently a series with some of the longest games, they are all huge. Especially in comparison to other action RPGs. 40-50 hour games every year that are as well designed as this, it's crazy impressive what they are doing.
Is the Hollow Ending evil? Cause i wat going for That one but i hate doing evil stuff in games
So one thing I'm curious about, do some bosses limit you to only summon 1 person before a boss? I noticed like 2 at least that once you summon someone before a Boss, all other summon signs go away.
Since I'm still only early game, part of me is afraid to upgrade my weapons anymore, in fear of not getting as many summons/getting summoned. I have a +4 Pyromancy Flame, so I think until I am a little farther in, I won't upgrade.

In the little corridor leading up to the doors to the goblet-room (just over the wooden bridge), there's usually a shitton of people to summon.
When I was just below fat roll it gave zero increase in attack. I dunno how it behaves if you have fat roll, but it's just a waste of a slot unless that stat is really low.
Cheers! I have two spare ring slots and I'm at 63% load but didn't want to equip it if it was going to reduce my attack power.

Beat it as melee, hardly got hit.
obviously get rid of the ballista. Then get in front of it, enough in front so all its wiggling around doesn't hit you. Let it do all its crazy moving, then it will curl up and raise up to shoot electricity at you, just run at it and stab until it's about to move again and run back out. Repeat.
Quoting for new page (for 50ppp casuls)
