He's an ass.
Eh... Was bit of a too easy let down after
the Nameless King
I really wanted the last boss to be
Gwyn reborn from the ashes
Also... Ballsy move on From Software's part
putting the last boss on the game's cover...
Use the power of the parry

Everyone and their mums uses the one that makes you invisible when you roll, but it's not because it makes you invisible, it's because it gives you a boost of +3 to dex.
The i-frames one I've only used in very very few bosses, such as those that have a lot of long ranged speedy attacks and little breaks between them to attack. It's useful to be able to get in, hit once or twice and roll out of the way without getting hurt.

DS1 is still designed in that way that you're suppose to take a linear path. I cant imagine that many first time players were going into the harder areas and attempted to fight their way through there only.
Didnt you use the Soul Vessel in DS1?

I thought he was a good difficulty tbh, and the absurd range of movesets he has puts everything to the test and makes it a varied, fun fight.
Nameless King
He was too easy with pyromancies and a good shield.
Okay, so I just traded hits with that
monster at the gate of
and both of us died and the loot it had is gone now... can anyone tell me what that specific monster drops because the first creature you met in the C
dropped a unique ring.
I really fucking hate when this happens and that FROM haven't fixed it yet. This has been a thing since Demon's Souls ffs.

I tried beating him the regular way. Then I said fuck it, and followed the advice to parry. His jab/thrust attack is extremely easy to parry and not too hard to distinguish from the rest of his move set. He also does it in both phases.
Or if you want easy mode summon one of the million people leaving signs outside of his gate. With just one more person taking the aggro occasionally the boss is a joke.
Lol thanks for the laugh, I needed it.
Can't parry his second phase to save my life. His moveset is insane.
It isn't but I (presumably) didn't make any permanent modifications to anything in the game. I enabled infinite health and specifically did so playing offline.
Yeah, that's basically it. I don't see what's so unbelievable about that.

I've read that you get a bit of hyper armor with increased equip load and is independent of poise. Nobody seems to know what the poise stat does yet, if anything.
edit: Read about hyper armor here, although it looks like maybe equip load only effects rolls. Based on the edit of the post on the first link and further comments in that thread, it looks like some weapon types have hyper armor with 0 poise while greatswords need at least 1 poise to get hyperarmor frames.
What a mess this all is.

Game probably checks memory hacks aswell since it affects the online aspect and rightly should control that aspect to avoid any unfair advantages.
I love it when this is done in video games. Not sure how to do this without spoilers, but a recent indie video game sequel also did a similar thing, by
putting an image of the game's final level on the cover art
Hotline Miami 2
Not judging or anything. You are free to do what you want offline. But I honestly think it takes more effort to look for keylogger-free hacks or to search through memory R/Ws with cheat engine than it is to just equip a certain great shield + lightning resistance ring and let 1-2 summons kill that boss for you. Game is essentially playing itself during the launch month with the amount of summons available.
Fuck that guy.

I gave it another 6 or so tries today, before I busted my balls and summoned two folks.
I probably would've gotten him down in another 10 or so tries, but fuck it, who am I trying to impress here? Lol.
Was getting past the threshold of fun, and into the one of "I want to get this over with, and move on".
I like his move set though, it's a cool idea, just the design is somewhat lame, felt like I was fighting
Mokujin
Nevertheless, fuck him and whoever invented him.
And especially, fuck his
spear stance, which I got to know better for the pain in the ass, literally and figuratively, that it is.
Weirdly enough, the only bosses that took me more than 3 tries were him, A

Though I have yet to fight the hardest one, which also seems to have a predilection for fucking with your camera.

Anyone else decide to have the Dancer be their first boss fight? Going into castle Lothric and the garden before leaving the high wall was fun. The game is a lot less linear than I imagined, you can really play around with the order.

Uhhhh, I am really confused. I just beat
and immediately afterwards there was a cutscene. I was teleported to a new area where a lady told me to
What do I do?
Yhorm the Giant
save the soul of Lothric. I walked toward the statue and the fight with Dancer started. I got the boss to about 10% health but I died. I revived at the Profane Capital bonfire.
What do I do?
I wonder if you can make him fall from the cliff.
Maybe if you're near the edge and lure him to get closer,roll and then parry him,the knockback animation could make him fall.
Need to try it in ng+ someday.

Kinda sick of people using linearity as a put-down word. Linearity does not inherently make a game bad. I'd actually argue that the design for this game, being linear with twists and turns and various ways and areas to explore within each "zone" before shuffling you off to the same place, has actually made some of the best designed levels in the entire series. As a result of being linear there is more focus and strength in the areas. I appreciate and enjoy the interconnectedness and full world feeling of other games in the series but it's loss isn't killing me in this one when the levels themselves are so fucking good.

Can I ask what your build was at sl80? Tried making a dark character, but gave up at around lv60 and deleted the character. It was just too weak/not fun to play as.
Going for a Judgement Sword build now with sorcery while also going through NG+ with my main quality build. Love that one. Claymore on my back while dual wielding Gotthard Twin Swords looks cool as.Three swords is always better than one.
Tried doing this on my second character but got destroyed lol, although I do imagine it would be a good way to level up your weapon quickly, given the amount of titanite shards up there. What equipment did you use to fight it at such an early level?
There's some truth to that, but I was approaching controller-breaking levels of fury with NK. I died dozens of times on that fucker, alone, with help, after reallocating levels with that one covenant to try completely different builds... Nothing but nothing was working. I was at the point of cheating or quitting outright.

Oh! I did not recognize the location because I feel like it was eons ago. Thanks!
It does suck when you replay the game, and can't mix and match how you approach the levels.
It was one of the coolest things to do in DkS1 and DkS2 (with the Shrine of Winter jump trick they patched out).
It's fun to do high level areas early on, once you know the Game.
Thankfully you can actually kill the
Dancer

well you can kinda do something similar in ds3 but i agree, loved the ds1 style. However ds3 levels are so cool that i'm doing a lot of runs (especially i love the first two levels, the Undead Settlement might be one of the best levels in souls history to me).
I know, i edited that in.
I was talking more in general about the value of non-linearity, not necessarily making a comment on DkS3 itself.
single player cheats on GTA V don't ban you. All the cheats meant for single player disable themselves when you go online.
Yeah,i agree.
The areas are so big and well designed that i don't give a shit.
You could say that ds1 was the odd one because the rest of the games don't follow the same design(warping from the start etc)

I really don't understand the whole convanent, invading, summoning stuff in this game at all.
Anyone care to break down how this all works? (Bloodborne had one area where you got randomly invaded...those were simpler times).

VGR: 20(25 with Prisoner's Chain)
Attunment:15( Dark Pyromancies barely use up any FP)
Endurance: 18(23 with Prisoner's Chain)
VIT: 10(15 with Prisoner's Chain)
STR: 15
DEX: 18
INT: 33
FTH: 31
Luck: 9
Rings are Witch's Ring, Prisoner's Chain, Dark Clutch Ring, and Ring of Steel Protection(to somewhat negate the extra damage taken from the Prisoner and Clutch ring)
AR on Carthus Curved Sword +7 is 423 with the Clutch ring equipped.
I sometime feels bad ganging up on an invader when I'm summoned, especially if the host summoned the invader via sign. But hey, they knew the risks when they decided to mess someone's day up.

That thing does drop a unique ring, it's a counterpart to the one the other dropped, Aldritch's Ruby/Sapphire.
