He's literally one of the easiest bosses I've ever faced in a Souls games. If you stay close, he genuinely can't do anything to you lol.

This. Dark souls 3 with two dlc will be pretty long but well packed.

An hour for any%, actually, and all bosses isn't much longer (which makes sense because there aren't that many optional bosses).
For comparison Dark Souls 1 any% is 44 minutes, Bloodborne any% (on the current patch without the major skips and boss freezing bugs) is 33 minutes, and Dark Souls 2 any% on current patch is almost an hour.
I know! He was piss-easy when I fought him first, but it's like I'm Samus after the opening of a Metroid game. I've gone back to square one in terms of skill.

I can't beat the stupid D( ´△｀ancer
And each time I fight it I can spend up to 10 minutes before I die so it takes a lot of time to keep trying...
I noticed that being embered kept making a huge difference when I fought it so I just went and leveled up my Vigor a bit (got myself to 1000 HP).
Not sure that would work for everyone as it did for me.

Stay on its ass. Literally. Stay as close to that ass as you possibly can, especially in the second phase. If you must roll, roll towards the ass.

Hey guys, quick question...
Does two handing a weapon still provide a 1.5x strength buff and nullify the requirements? The reason I am asking is because the big S hammer is showing lousy damage numbers in the info screen when I two hand, but it appears to be working right during combat. Don't wanna waste time and souls buffing up stats if they removed that mechanic.

I've been trying to hide behind the pillars during the second phase and sneak hits, but I lose lock-on because of that and keep messing myself up. The first phase is pretty easy as long as I don't get grabbed.
Yes, my Blue Sentinel characters spent days around 30 in the
Undead Settlement and Farron
This weekend I did
Cathedral, Catacombs and I'm currently at Irythill
This shit is souring me, honestly.

Lmao pretty much. With enough failing you'll just dodge his shit all the time. Honest I just used a certain shield that blocked 87% lightning damage and 100% physical. He did fuck all damage when I just blocked.
I think there are, but broken animations are so common online that you can't really be sure if someone is hacking or if it's just the servers. I'd say 95% servers, 5% legit hacking or so.

Yep definitely works. You can see if you have a weapon you can't use at all, it will say so when you equip it. If you can two hand it, the message says it is only effective if you two hand it. I never figured out how to get the numbers to be accurate though.

I killed O
last night. That boss gave me weird vibe. A mix of sadness and creepiness.
The whole thing is so damn sad and weird.
Man, I supposed killing him is doing him a favor, but I still feel sad as shit.

From his talking to his cradling his imaginary child, his frenzies, his screams of his son's name Ocellotte.

Awesome, thank you. I'll play around with it a little more tomorrow and see what if I can get it to display anything differently.
Wow I actually got summoned as a Watchdog after 20 minutes of waiting. So that works for me to some degree.
It is really bad. There should be a covenant item that you could also use to connect to worlds that have invaders instead of having to hope people have the emblem equipped all the time. AF and Watchdogs should also get rewards from using Red Eye Orb in the areas they are supposed to protect.

Prioritise running away from the arrow attack and rolling under the magic shots he does when you're far away from him. You also want to always be behind him when attacking.
When he hits second phase the beam attack does 3 hits and you need to run for your life from the arrows... As in full on run to the opposite side of the room and not in a straight line either.
Don't give up, he was the toughest one for me so far too!

Hey guys, is there anything that I must do in NG before moving onto NG+?
You referring to the Dancer?
If so, patience is key; only strike twice at the most when you get the chance. When she[?] enters second phase, use the pillars for cover and strike once the chain-combo attacks are done. I beat it by myself after maybe four/five tries, so it's definitely doable.
If not, ignore everything I've said.

Ok, so today is a historical day for me....I just finished my first Dark Souls game 
Out of
bosses I had to summon on 4 of them (
), for my first Souls game I think that this is a pretty good achievement for me
Also, that feeling when you manage to deplete the hp bar of the
only to see that fucker gaining an extra life xD
So there's one question that I'm interested in, since we all know that DLC is coming out later this year, how does that stuff work in DS games? Since I didn't start a NG+ when the DLC comes out will I be able just to continue with my first save or how does it work? Or is it like, for example, The Witcher 3 where I was able to normally complete Hearts of Stone after I already finished the base game?
Anyway, I now fully understand what the "hype" and praise was all about. Making my way to the last boss I couldn't stop thinking about how long of a journey it was and how it all started in the cemetery, all the challenges I had to overcome, and the joy of helping others in co op overcome their obstacles. This game is truly a unique experience.
And now the wait for TW3 Blood and Wine begins

Broken animations online seem to be disturbingly common, and it can include anything - other players, bosses, and even NPCs. Worse, is that oftentimes you can still be hit by these characters and as a result, will often die to something you can't really predict or react to.
Another common animation issue is for the character to simply freeze and not move at all (or when they do move, appear to be warping all over the place). Boss doors not working also seems to be quite common right now.
Near as I can tell, all of these are BUGS and not a result of hacking.
Was really disappointed that Warmth required so much farming to get. =/
Then again, the stats needed to use it are also kinda ridiculous given its rather minor returns as a spell. It was one of my favorite spells to use in the past as a Pyromancer but it's a bit unfortunate that you have to roll so deep to get it now.
Just checked a farming guide and the farming spot is thankfully right near a bonfire like with Concords. Hope this isn't as rare as the Concords tho, that was a slog. I'm just watching videos while I do it heh

Managed to carve my way through L
C
until the first fog gate last night, skipping what I can only assume was an optional area full of p-p-p-poison. I'll go back to it before this boss, but what the hell. I worked my way through the area until I finally got outside and
I'm expecting some true boss fuckery in this area.

why did this game turn into Berserk? Like, seriously, I freaked out seeing the eclipse and all those fucking weird-ass tentacle shadow motherfuckers just...ascending. Creeped me the fuck out almost as much as stuff from Bloodborne.

I take there's no point on farm them without the mimic head, right?

There's really not any weapons in these games that are just flat out "better" than others. I personally beat the last few bosses with a +10 refined Longsword. Longsword is a fine weapon.
There's also Lothric Knight sword from the knights. It's a tiny bit longer I think and has 110 critical damage instead of 100. More thrusty moveset.
Sunlight Straight sword
Just a couple options if you really are against the longsword.
Good news is there's the perfect sword for you! Bad news? End game ng+ exclusive.
Brothers' sword is a great mix of power and speed, plus it has some cool moves too. Looking back I wouldn't have traded my +5 lorian's for it, but that's mostly a style choice for me as I like the big hulking gs.
Barely worth it unless you get your Item Discovery way over 300 some other way. Before I got the mimic head from other gaffer I got barely any drops in two hours. I don't understand why From decided that the mimic head isn't guaranteed drop.
Try the
Dark Sword or Astora's Straight Sword
It is a guaranteed drop if you
beat every mimic
