The thing is, I normally have a good balance of losing souls and making progress, but i've lost a LOT of souls in this first 5 hours and it's demoralising me a bit more than normal.

Why is this game the best simulation of a samurai wielding a katana of any game out right now and it's an RPG that doesn't even focus on that? It amazes me that the fighting mechanic wielding a katana is very similar to Ninja Gaiden except on a more realistic less fast-paced system.

After about 20 attempts and getting absolutely manhandled by, I ended up beating her by cheesing her on a pillar.Dancer of the Boreal Valley
I feel dirty.
How did you do that?

ASS (hehehe) has higher base damage, and going by the listed damage, is a beast when raw infused, but the Longsword has better scaling. You also need 12 faith with the ASS.
Fast weapon that can stunlock someone while not costing much stamina. See also estoc or most straight swords.
I'm keeping mine, you invade, you die.

Once you get damage absorption to about a value of 17 or so, the returns are minimal and not worth it.
Just make sure you have something equipped in each armor slot, don't run naked on any body part as that will lower your base value damage reduction. Beyond that, get your damage absorption to about 17 and you should be good to go.
??? Where? I almost exclusively see positive things here and on reddit

Really? All I've been seeing these past few days is how bad it is compared to Dark Souls 1 and 2. Shit there was a ranking thread here and 2/3 of people put DSIII either last or second to last.
Anyone?

I died multiple times at that NPC's last summon battle. You respawn right where the sign is and can retry immediately.

Is it okay to give every Pyromancy tome to the same npc? Or is there another one who I can give to later that will make better use of it?

lol - Dark Souls 3 is the most consistent Souls game out. A lot of people still live of nostalgia. I love 3 as much as I love 1.
Bloodborne is fantastic as well.
Well that is good to know also but i am talking about the npc dying.

I am not sure what you are talking about.This makes zero sense.The majority of the people who played the game like it.If someone puts it below dark souls 1 or bloodborne it doesnt mean that they dont like the game.

I've seen posts about how it's the most disappointing game of 2016, and how Miyazaki's finally made a bad game. There's a post here on GAF, about someone who can't wait until everyone hates the game. Anyway, I shouldn't care that much about other people's opinions. I'm sorry I brought it up in the first place. Just makes me sad is all. I really think DSIII is a masterpiece.

I baited her into the corner of the room and kept the pillar between us. Her attacks don't go through it, and she doesn't move around it very quickly, so it was kind of a safe zone. After she finished one of her combos, I ran around and got a swipe in and then went back to the other side. Rinse and repeat.
On phase 1 you have 2 options, you can press your luck while really really damn close to the boss and circle roll behind her to do more damage, or use a pillar. The first option nets you far more damage but you can die instantly if you mess up.
Phase 2 the lap is the only effective way I did it I took almost no damage.
Nah man I rank it as BB > DkS3 > ... Didn't really get into the others but DkS2 was a bit meh
Both BB and DkS3 have grabbed my attention for weeks each.
More or less played BB for months after it came out
Wish the 2nd came to PC for some of that DSR goodness and stuff, but for now DkS3 will do just fine.I am debating if I should get the season pass or not, but after todays play session I got
Out of fucking nowhere.
I backuped my save and deleted it from the %app% folder and verified files/deleted and reinstalled the game and its still there.
WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?
Like did I pick up an item for join someones bugged session or wtf?
Literally no information on whats "INVALID" or what even happened, and no statement on whats wrong at all.
Looked it up on google and apparently nobody knows wtf is going on :|

lol just got ganked 3 vs 1 then afterwards they all do the ego gesture like it was some big accomplishment. I'm just a lowly Shackle farmer. So mean.
The amount of people that play the game fully with 3 co-op friends surprises me.
Yes I know I invaded them.

I think the game is fucking awesome and I haven't heard a lot of people doing much more than pointing out some issues, not so much lambasting the entire game. Maybe I'm just living in a vacuum but if the community has turned on it I haven't really noticed. I think they really need to give the covenants another pass, tweak those and definitely re-balance a few weapons to give people some more credible options but aside from the that I can't see how it's a "terrible game".

Sounds to me like you pay attention too much to the bad comments which every single game will have.
Also lol at the comment "bad game"

Apparently that's pretty widespread on PC according to Oroboro. Lots of posts on Reddit on that too. If you PvP with a hacker, they can mess with your stats, and it doesn't show up in the menus. And you get flagged and banned despite being innocent.
It's fucking awful.
I tried the lap for a few tries but it creates a new problem of the boss spamming the big magic spear/ball thing (while I'm not looking at it cause I'm bad ;_
.I JUST beat it though.
I'm going through the C
with those two
. I beat both of them and the D
boss and now I have the d
. Is there anything else left of the area or do I go to Boreal Valley?
Btw, I activated two levers that raised some walls it looked like. Are they just there to function as barriers or something between you and the
? Or do they act as ways to cross certain platforms? I'm really confused by them. I did end up in an area on top of the cathedral but after defeating the enemies up there, I jumped down on to a platform and there was nothing to do except make a risky jump to the second floor!

I would stick around a little bit and try to find a particular NPC if you haven't. He should be near the switches you were talking about. Did you talk to Siegward in the well?

I would also like to know this. I've never once invaded as a Watchdog or Sentinel and I've had those covenants equipped for a couple hours total between them.
wtf man
Yeah I'm gonna hold off on that Season Pass then, not much point in getting it if I get banned for some dickhead invading me or whatever.
From pliz
I'm scared to continue my progression now, will I get banned if I continue and play it or what? :|No idea but I had 2 watchdogs invade me above the ladder to farron.
God knows how that worked out, solo Sunbae being embered and all
??? Recepcion of the game has been really positive.
That doesn't mean the game has its problems and people speak about them.
Also, ranking a game last doesn't mean much. I rank DS2 last on my Souls list yet I think it's a worth DS sequel, a fucking awesome game and one that has a lot of undeserved hate.

What is your weapon level? I got summoned immediately in both covenants until I got my weapon to like +4 and +10.
Might be just how you decide to read things then.
Only complains I keep hearing are either technical or that its "the third one", meaning its a bit heavy on the fan service sometimes.
Other then that, this is no DS2.
