I don't disagree. It was a beautiful area but yea, not much there and the boss was super disappointing. But it had
an awesome scene with Patches
An awful lot of areas in this game are either just small (Lothric Castle, Garden,
, Profaned Capital, Untended Graves) or have the boss right near the entrance but with an path that circles around (like Smouldering Lake).
While some of the worst areas in the game with the most boring designs like; Catacombs, Farron Keep, Irithyll Dungeon & Road of sacrifices are the biggest area with lots of secrets.
I wish there were more areas like Boreal valley and Undead Settlement to explore, I liked Grand Archives because it was finally a big area after several small ones.

Technically areas like

The boss felt like it was placed wrongly. I don't actually dislike the boss, but I think that, in an area full of enemies, it wasn't really a payoff because it didn't juxtapose against anything. If the area was sparsely populated, a boss like that, a concentration of monsters like that, would have been really cool. Instead the boss was... weirdly expected?
I think you missed something very important regarding to that fight.

I can not get a parry while invading. The lag seems also insane.
I have no issue holding my own when someone is invading me, I win some and I lose some but when I invade it's mostly gank squads or one guy that just spams R1 and me trying to parry but it never works and I get smashed due to no poise and extreme phantom range.

You missed something.

Some of the buildings looked like Undead Settlement. It could just be a background representation of other areas you eventually visit.
Yea, parrying is a crap shoot online. Sometimes you don't even see getting hit in real time. Lag is pretty bad especially fighting gank squads where lag gets worse.

FUCK.
He's the boss I've died against the most so far.
Yeah, could be true. We'll see... at the end of the year
Already starving for new content.
Well aint that funny..I had to beat him the hard way.Guess I should be happy huh.
I actually tried hitting his hands but it wasn't efficient cuz you cant target them.
Then I had to switch out to ultragreat sword and patiently bait out a certain move he does when
I stand between his legs.When he lowered his head I hit it to get a visceral attack like very 3 hits.
The fight was soo long and wrestle with his size and the camera was a nightmare.He constantly blasts you away too gah.
Glad I know what to do in NG+.
It is what it is. I like the challenge of facing a host and 2-3 phantoms versus myself and usually another Dark/Mad spirit. I've been invading all day and there's been a few occasions where I've been 1 v 4 and killed the host...
I don't think it should be made easier to invade someone's game and fuck up their progress.

Killed him then got shot by a dragon.
DOUBLE KO.
DOUBLE KO.
That's amazing
That area at the end looked a lot like drangleic castle. You can see the same arching substructures on a castle in the opening cutscene too:
Drangleic castle:
I also wonder if that first area might be londor? Interesting stuff.
Lmao.
Is there a noclip method now? Or is this just cheat engine?
Yeah, but that one had the problem of being massively compressed. The later areas in this game are still really well designed, but they do feel... not shorter, but yeah, compressed. Like all the weird stuff that gave flavor to areas in the past games was removed in favor of just creating really tightly designed spaces.
Dark Souls 3 is consistently the best designed game of any of the Souls series. But it also has the least amount of weirdness and I really miss that. Of course, DLC is still coming so... we'll see. DLC has certainly been a popular place to put what I would define as the Souls series' "crazy" stuff.
Well, that's a relief
Don't worry, I like farming for this stuff myself. Besides, I'm on PC. I could have it even easier than trading if I want it... but I really like doing this stuff myself
Yea, looking forward to the DLC. Really excited for them to clarify or expand upon some lore like they have before. I still have questions about some things that were never answered.
I hope the DLC does something interesting. I remember beating the game and thinking, "...that's it?"
Don't get me wrong or anything as I greatly enjoyed the game, but the entire game felt like I was retreading old ground, and the best two areas of the game were the first* two.
*I count lothric as being one area in totality, even though 1/3rd of it is invisible wall'd off to you at the start.

Oh man. How long did the fight last?
Lol I had him down to a one hit to go on my first try. Ran in I had one hit to go till I died too. and that fucking dragon goo hit me. Raggggee

Quick question if someone doesn't mind, I have finished the game but haven't started NG+, as I am waiting for the DLC. Do you guys think, based on previous DS DLC, I will be able access the new content in my position now, or will it be integrated into an earlier part of the game?
I don't want to play any new content on NG+, as I want to be able to enjoy it.

Based on previous games you should be fine.

Great, thanks.
On my first run of the game it took me like 15-20 mins to do it with like a +5 rapier ;-;
Even had to burn a repair powder, hahah....

Ok, so I caved and bought a 12 month PS+ subscription. I finally want to play a Dark Souls game online. I've played them all offline in the past (including Bloodborne).
How often am I going to get invaded? That's the only thing I'm kind of worried about. I don't mind doing PvP, but I'd kind of like to save that for my second playthrough.
Is it like Dark Souls 1 where you're immune to invasions if you're undead?

Hm? Sure you aren't using a white sign soapstone instead of red? I did fight clubs for mound makers, and most people love MMers for fight clubs because they can take part and have no worry of them going after the host because they can battle it out and still score a shackle if they're good enough.
The best area I found for fight clubs was at the first high wall bonfire. Might plop down your RSS near the bonfire.

Made a mage last night to see if i still find magic in this game boring.... I do. But holy crap is that first boss even easier than when i did it as a herald. Must have killed it in 6 spells.
My biggest prob with making a different build is that i dont see how any other will be more or even just as fun as my main. Mains dex and faith. Fast weapon, bow plus some support spells. So many bosees and even enemies seem built around fast weapons i cant see the point.
Guess i will just do the odd bit of coop amd get the few items i havnt got yet when mood takes me and maybe i will get the dlc if it turns out to be good.
If you arnt embered you wont get invaded at all. Even while embered i think i only got invaded twice in my 30 hours of playin while soloing.

Yeah, I've got summoned fine a couple times. It's just I've been summoned twice in about 20 minutes wait time. Which fight club would you recommend? Do I need to get to 120 to summon consistently?

We are only one month after release so theres usually the most activity now because a lot of "casuals" and "one time" players play it. Also most pvpers now have a better understanding of game mechanics etc. and some have made special pvp chars for lower levels. So expect to get invaded id say...

Guess I'll just have to deal with it. No big deal. Thanks.
