I'm really starting to fall in love with the game now thanks to some of the areas and bosses I've seen recently. Ir
and Ir
are incredible areas, not to mention the majestic feeling of
is easily one of my favorite bosses so far, I just loved his visual style as well as the music and arena. He was a little tricky at first but fair once I learned his moves (as with most great Souls bosses). I enjoyed it so much I stuck around and helped some fellow adventurers take him on in co-op.
Honestly it just feels like the game is really coming into its own now. I loved the earlier areas as well but they seem even better as part of this whole package; a feeling very similar to the one I got with Bloodborne.
As for weapons I'm using a Heavy Great Machete +7 and as much as I'd like to switch it up once in awhile this thing is just too good. Absolute beast of a weapon and it looks great as well.

Did you upgrade your shield? Upgraded shields worked very well for me against even late-game bosses.
Wait.. so the fact that poise doesn't (or hardly) works is because of a programmig mistake? Hope they patch this.
Edit: Might not have been +10 then. Can't remember 100%.
Edit 2: Oops accidentally quoted not edited my post.

Thanks. Yeah I just picked one down the end of a hallway and dropped down. I'll have to find my way back up.

I think it's at +2, I'm assuming the upgrades remove the stagger at higher levels?
It may not be accidental. The game launched a month ago and has received 5 calibrations (i.e. balance patches). How can they have not noticed internally for this long?
Found the path that leads to the Capital(got killed at one point by that flying demon on the bridge) but did not find the other 2 to the Giant...same area I guess...? similar to the one that has rats and Capital way....?
I guess.. but what reason could they possibly have to disable poise? This could simply be another case like DS2's durability bug that didnt get fixed until SOTFS.
The other two drop-down places just bring you right next to
the giant

Huh, that is super interesting. I wonder if anything will come of it.
Wait so that Giant with his arms resting blocking the way is not the Giant to kill...?
I had a lot of problems with the mace, 30+tries level of problems.
Then i switched to the long sword and beat them in one try, it was like night and day.
You need a fast weapon that staggers, and they become quite doable.
With higher stability you lose less stamina per hit on your shield. If the stability is high enough enemies that would have torn down your stamina before will rebound off your shield.
While it's still nowhere near DS1 or 2 levels of useful fully upgraded shields still enabled me to block

Ugh a lot of the time when I do coop, the host never attempted the boss. In addition the host tends to hang back while I do all the work. I don't mind helping people but atleast try to beat the boss.
Managed to beat the
on my first try solo but I might have been high lvl (think I was 35ish) the second phase is quite something though he don't leave much opening, near the end I was out of Estus and half HP
That feeling when you beat a boss and you are almost dead only on Souls games you get to feel that nowadays .

You don't need to kill him, no. You can ignore him.

Am I mean for laughing at hosts that die to A
when he's about 1 hit from death? I had this happen once where we were so close to finishing the boss I killed him after the host died and I hadn't been transported yet, haha.

Small shields are amazing for parrying,just practice a little and you'll do just fine.
I think the game just want you to not rely on shields too much because circle-strafing&blocking has been a foolproof strategy for too long in the series.
Most of the time i try to evade and block only when it's necessary.
At least that's my experience with my current build,maybe i could go with something more tank-ish with my next character.
This is kind of infuriating after just finishing the game on ng+ on a greatsword build >.<
Any chance of a patch fixing this?
I mean I wouldn't expect so otherwise but considering there's a poise stat on the stat page that does literally nothing >.>
I've also had hosts hide after summoning me through Way of Blue instead of help me repel the invader. Super irritating.
Put another 12 or so hours in over the weekend and beat P
S
, A
, Y
and the D
of the B
. I think I might have been hitting a wall with the game because I was progressing at my super slow and methodical pace (I'm 58 hours in right now, level 97 and just entered L
.
So a few things, 1) it looks like I'm going to get the best ending without even meaning to. Things just kind of worked out and I didn't have to use a guide to get that one. 2) I did have to look up some stuff about S
quest line and got him to the Y
fight only to have him die rather quickly in that fight... 3) Am I going to get more Titanite Scales? I feel like I've been stuck on my +3 Wolfs Knight's Greatsword for a while now.
Ok now for my questions. 1) Should I give R
after killing R
I feel really bad about not doing that yet. 2) Is there another sorcery NPC towards the end of the game? I killed O
thinking I had given him all the scrolls but i just found another one yetsterday... and the last question 3) Since I have already secured the "best" ending what happens if I kill Y
to get her sword? Will it mess up the ending?

1) You can trade with Ludleth for a miracle.
2) No.
3) Do it after getting the ending just to be safe. The game will ask you if you want to go to NG+ after the credits.
I wouldn't be so quick to say that they're clearly aware of it since it's passed through 5 updates, since it's possible they weren't aware of it at all. Seems strange to eliminate Poise as a thing in the game without any kind of fanfare, either.

Took me multiple tried but eventually you realize a solid strategy in the first part is to
dodge around until the third one appears and starts fighting the other two. At that point I always tried to help him out so I could have him survive and distract the main boss while I attack him
Second round it's just a case of dodging around until specific attacks with long recoveries
How about you lure them to the wide platform on the right side?
First time I was there, they all jumped down on their own after I put a arrow in their head.
Just wait until
the two other corpses get up and then kill the one corpse that's friendly towards the actual boss, and then let the hostile one attack the boss for a bit. The boss always prioritizes the hostile NPC over you, it appears. It's free damage and if you're lucky it'll take you to the 2nd phase of the fight without having to do much actual work. The second phase of the fight is pretty much classic stamina management and learning the boss's patterns

Man had to co-op for the
guy. Other guy did like 3/4 damage so I used the curl into ball gesture to show him I an forever in his debt.
Me too, I actually googled all endings but Dark Souls 3 story doesn't interest me at all. I play just for the gameplay and just Role Play my own story.
I chose to become Hollow so apparently I chose the most complicated ending too..I have no idea what Hollow really is. I just got some free levels from it lol

When I was doing it for Sunbro medals, I didn't really care if they participated or not. Most of the time we lost was due to the host dying to the boss and I end up losing a whole session. The worst was when we almost killed the boss and the host decides they wanna do the finishing blow and end up dying when the boss has a sliver of life left. That was a waste of time.

I beat them yesterday with the Drang Hammers. I think I had to try 6 times total usually getting RIGHT there on phase 2 every time. I started waiting out Phase 1 the last few tries essentially. I'd wait for the third guy to pop up, the in-fighting to start and I'd lay into them with the two-handed Drang Hammers sword art which fucking wrecks everything.
Great fight and my absolutely favorite boss theme so far, beautiful music.

I can understand if the host can't find you guys but hiding can be irritating. Atleast help out. Btw jelly you are bein summon as a way of blue
Yeah was doing some sunbro for the medals. The host did die on me a few times as well. Could be a lot faster if the host helped out but meh just some of my pet peeves

Is it normal for Regulation 1.04 to online be available if you're actively Online?
I'm playing my first playthrough Offline and Regulation 1.04 was never applied. Anyway, I signed in on the title screen and it said Regulation 1.04 was now applied...cool. I restart the game to start my Offline game and it defaulted back to 1.03 and it has happened every time since.
Question is, what the hell? Is that normal?

FINALLY got my dude to look like a bad-ass with the Wolf Armor. :-D
It all depends on build. AW took me FOREVER, PS took me about four tries.

I dunno, when they summon 2-3 phantoms at once, I'd prefer they stay away from the boss just so I don't need to worry about them dying on me lol

Best way to grind souls after beating the game?
He can be cheesed SO easily with pyromancy. Great Chaos Fire Orb started and ended the fight for me in less than 60 seconds.
Put on Avarice helm and silver ring and go ham on some enemies in the later areas near a bonfire.
Are you talking about
the huge blast of wind? That's how you're supposed to kill the boss, it's a weapon you find inside the boss room.

Special ability of the weapon you find near the boss...
What I do is I use both block and roll, I will block first attack if I see too much stamina being removed then I roll for the next attack to avoid being staggered .
You have to adapt in DS3 compared to the other souls game where you could always just block most of the time, and yes also upgrading your shield might be a good idea .
