I really hated ID because of the
jump scares.
I also couldn't figure out how to get to some areas in there. I feel like I missed some stuff. There's one window near the giant that I saw an enemy in, and I couldn't find my way into that.
I did somehow find Siegward thanks to random messages
Worse than the face-humping goats?
So I fought the C
and the first half was amazing. The second half I accidentally cheesed by staying in the door area across from the fog gate. He was so big he didn't know what to do so I just wailed on him lmao.
The area after that boss is extremely cool. I had to double take. It also reminded me of a certain path early on...."turn back". Damn you From I listened to that message without even bothering to investigate! To think of what was hiding.
What are some good greatswords for a heavy strength build? I'm currently rockng Executioners blade +5 with a 32 strength, 18 dex, 23 int, 13 faith.
Thinking of the wolf blade which I have but its so expensive to upgrade and currently my executioner blade is just outperforming it by far in terms of the numbers.
Also thinking of moonlight greatsword, the damage is super weak but its a magic weapon however I don't know if my int is enough to make use of it. Really uninmpressed with the greatsword selection.
Also I have no idea what to level up anymore. I get a ton of souls and I just spend it on armor or whatever lol.

I think I can honestly say that I've never been humped in the face.
I don't know if you've been to the next area yet, but you'll find a key there that opens up some doors in ID.
It'll happen eventually, and when it does remember to roll backwards next time when you hear the scream T_T
I know it's coming every time, yet I never fail to get hit with it once a run >.<
Oh god. I remember getting skullfucked. Seriously, I say this every Souls game, but the developers must've been on something when they came up with that.

That enemy was one of the only standard enemies in the game that seriously shocked me. Like, where I said to myself "wow, I have no words for this moment". A saddenly rare moment for this game after Bloodborne continually wow'd me throughout the game =\
Yup. On my first run of the game I made a huuuge mistake going chaos blade over washing pole because of both the scaling and being scarred by DS2 PC 60fps durability bug'd washing pole that ate through repair powder like candy. I thought to myself, "eh it can't be that good if it's being sold in the handmaiden shop".
Lmao wtf was I thinking. I used it in my PC dex run and the game basically dropped its pants for me as soon as I started using it. It made killing d early at high wall an utter joke, allowing for early chunks. After that....
The jailers died in two hits, making ID a breeze. I killed the c sage in GA on the first cycle. I mauled L bros with only one estus using it in what seemed like 3 mins. I totally obliterated SoC with it, using only two estus. It's so damned good I could have stopped leveling at like 65 and still destroyed the game with it.
New ENB ep is up. We gon eat!
Use Wolf Sword if you want dat swagger and awesome special moves. That's what I do.
You can use the black crystal and send him back. Quit back to title screen and reload in - you should be able to summon him over

I've been trying to do some invading since I've never really done that part of the game. Man, people are just not giving me the time of day it feels like. It's not like I sneak up on them and backstab, I make myself known, bow (Even after they try and attack me), and just try to have fun, but everyone either runs past me, or tries to kill me mid bow animation.
I understand, but it's not as fun as just dueling it out. I guess I may just have to wait until I get to Pon
again before I can start doing loads of PvP. with the red soapstone.

Killing the Dancer as my 2nd boss in NG+ made me happy in many ways and sad in one way.
Happy because:
- I killed her at first shot (she killed me once but Second Chance saved my ass... I rolled back as crazy, healed and recast Second Chance again just in case)
- with my NG+ Health & Stamina pool I could even block her crazy-ass whirlwind attack with my Greatshield of Glory +4
- she was worth 320k Souls (5 levels!)
- I can now run and get all the Titanite Chunks needed for Great Club +9 and Black Iron Greathsield +9
- it felt like sequence breaking!!!
Sad because:
- I can now face Gundyr

Demon's fist looks pretty sick.
Not too demanding on pc, plays smooth.
Drops frames while loading tho. Gives me a headache after a bit of that. Dont notice dropped frames on console. Probably cause i never look for it unless im on pc.

For those who are done with Watchdogs of Farron, how did you do it? I have problems with autosummoning here as well, and i tried to grind a bit outside of
like the Wiki says, but i didnt get a single drop.

The maiden sells it after you give her the east ash.
Its actually the second best katana, after the Chaos bladw, but I cant get over how goofy it looks. Its too long :/ (useful for pvp though)
Do it at the Keep Ruin bonfire. The 3 on the bridge are super easy to take care of.
What is your combined luck? When I do it, I have 107 (base luck) + 50 (Gold ring) + 100 (Symbol of Avarice - hat) for a total of 257. Sometimes I'll pop a luck coin for added 50. I can generally kill all 3 in like 15 seconds, reset at bonfire and repeat. Doesn't take me long to get some cov items.
Here is full list of items that increase item discovery that you should try to get, if you can: http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Luck

Dunno who that guy is but Gundyr is no joke. Top 3 hardest bosses in this game.

Increase your item discovery as much as you can, and I have had a few drop from those goat people and every now and then I will get the summon. I'm preparing for a grind fest to be honest. They need to increase the drop rate for all Covenant items from creatures.
Really? I think I got him on my second try. Just requires good dodging skills. Had a lot more trouble with other bosses.
But why is that guy in the video so bad at this game?
It's DSP. He doesn't adapt, doesn't learn, just cries about controls and camera.
It's why it's so fun to watch him fail.
Gundyr totally comes down to your weapon as far as how hard you think he is.
If you're using something fast like a katana, rapier (estoc spanks him), or straight sword the fight is easy because you can punish him constantly and still have enough stamina and follow up frames to get out dodge no matter what happens.
With an UGS though? Yeah, you're going to have problems with that fight. I mauled him on my first run of the game as a dex user, but he wrecked me on my UGS based STR run until I got tired of it and switched to a straight sword.

Thanks. Is it proven that increased Luck will boost convenant item drops by the way? I dont know what my total luck is, but i respec'd into a level 77 Luck earlier, used the +1 ring that increase item drops and popped a coin afte every bonfire rest, gridning for those blue ears, and i didnt get any more items compared to my original level 10 Luck.
I recently stumbled upon this channel and started watching his DS3 let's play immediately after finishing my NG+ playthrough.
I've been watching it non-stop even though I finished the game twice already. Not sure why, but I find it really enjoyable

I was two handing tho ;.;
Wow, this is hilarious.
Grundyr's second form is the same as his first just with one extra attack at the end of each combo. It's really not hard as long as you don't get greedy and only hit him once, stay back keep you stamina high.

I think the bigger problem is that I lock on to the head because I whiff a lot of attacks on that particular fight, if I don't. Then the camera goes crazy until it loses lock-on and makes me totally disoriented, and I'm not sure which way "away" is until I see the fire coming down. It's probably more that I'm using too short range of a weapon for the first part of that fight, and I should probably bring a spear or something.

Luck increases your item discovery - For each point of luck you receive one point of Item Discovery, up to a hard cap at 99 Luck (199 Item Discovery).
I basically start at the Farron Keep Perimeter, I use the Gold Serpent Ring +1 and I put on my Symbol of Avarice helm, crack a coin. I run out and 1 shot those goat peeps with my Dragonslayer Swordspear bolt. Rinse and repeat and hope for a drop and if you need Pale tongue's you can take out the two wraiths as well as they have a chance of dropping them.

Sure, but do we know for sure that it increases the chance for covenant items to be dropped? Didnt seem like that when i tried it earlier, boosting my luck a lot. Basically all i got was more armor and shield drops.
Thanks for the tip though. I guess i'll try to farm some more at that place.

Okay, so because I have an unhealthy obsession with this game's crabs, I've been looking up threads and doing some experimentation in regards to the Tiny Catacombs Crab that spawns when you kill the second skele-ball and found out...interesting stuff but nothing amazing. So here goes:
1. So, the TCC attaches to you and follows you but never attacks you. How far away can you get before he stops following you? The answer is apparently forever. I read a thread where someone kept running to opposite ends of an area and it would follow even without seeing you. It gets stuck on stuff a lot but it follows. In my own experiments, I spawned the TCC, got it to lock onto me and then ran to bridge, clearing out enemies as I did. I stood on the opposite side of the bridge and after a long-ass time it found it's way over there. I then ran all the way back to the area with the Carthus Milk Ring and waited forever and it got stuck on a pillar right near where I was after like 15 minutes. I read that someone actually got it to drop down and survive the trip to S
using Force. If you get it that far, it seems to stop and wait in front of the edge of the bridge as if waiting for you to push it down there.
2. If you take the TCC down to S
you can run around the whole area BUT it attaches itself to the large worm/where it spawns so you can't take it into the D
that way or Boss Fight. Otherwise it will follow you anywhere in S
. It does not seem to interact with anything down there, not even it's brother crabs! Although in the course of investigating said less-friendly crabs, one of the ember crabs chilling down there does not actually aggro on you. He just kinda...minds his own business and does whatever cool things crabs do all day. The TCC does not interact with him in any way, which is disappointing on a number of levels, mainly emotional. The TCC will not help you fight H
.
3. If you open up the shortcut to the D
using the ballista you can lead the TCC into the D
but getting it there is extremely difficult with the ballista still firing and your need to be somewhat near it to direct it into the hole. Without the ballista you can't get it into the D
. Really been unable to find anyone who got the TCC in there.
4. If you take the TCC back in the other direction he can only go as far as the Abyss Watchers fog wall. He'll push against it and try to get through but he can't even if you hit or kick him (which broke my fucking heart, I didn't mean it little guy).
5. He gets stuck on W
's fog wall so that's the farthest you can take him in that direction too.
That's pretty much all I've found out. We're probably not going to learn more until you can warp it back to Firelink and level it up 5 times at Yoel to unlock the DLC Crabtorias of the Crabyss.
I might care about crabs too much.
Edit: Oh, you can actually lead him onto the bridge and cut it and he'll survive the fall down to S
. If you drop him down there, he unlocks the Crab Covenant.

The game really needs to drag a second invader in those 1v3 cases.
Wonder what'd happen if there was a "anti blue cops" covenant, where if a blue cop was deployed, you get summoned to kill him and/or the host too.
Of course, the summon rate would be super low, but it actually works super well when you are on the way of blue covenant. The supply of cops makes it almost a sure thing.
