Really? I was literally like that can't be it right? But it was. Stay close to him.

Interesting. Game is a bit shorter than DS2
archdrake peak
I think it's huge, really. Don't think any of the other Souls games are this big, unless you toss in DkS2's DLCs with the main game.

I can anticipate attacks for the most part it's just disorienting and I've run into invisible walls dodging some attacks as a result.
I've been doing that a bit as per most similar bosses, but it's been less effective for whatever reason.
Glad to see I'm not the only person struggling. I just need to give it some time and see if I can eventually get someone summoned. My biggest issue is
avoiding the dragon's fire attack. Even though I'm not very encumbered I am having serious trouble out running that attack.

after beating the optional boss in Lothric Castle you can find a gesture in the next room which you should use in Irithyll dungeon where the dragon torso was.

I've given the Twinblades some time and I'm not seeing it. The stance attacks use more stamina yet do less damage, and they don't stagger worth a damn. I need a two-handed Falchion, not this junk.

son of a bitch. I was trying to get the
and fucked it up right at the end. these npc quest lines can go to hell
usurpation of fire
Yeah, there was definitely something going on there. And the fact that there were so many places to light fire, and the whole torch mechanic that seemed to go to waste. My guess is that many of the rooms in the game were supposed to be really dark, and you had to light your way through.
It's too bad we never got that version of the game. They should have just designed it on 'next gen' to begin with.

Seriously I don't know how people can tolerate these NPCs anymore, it's not even the questlines, the lines are barely there. I can't believe that the firekeeper has so few lines, like I just can't. The one NPC you will always go back to, and she repeats a single line for the most of the game...why. If there is one thing that needs to evolve in the Souls games it's the NPCs, either get completely rid of them and go all in with the desolate theme, or actually start improving them.
But I guess people will just watch Vaati's videos where he'll wrap it all in a nice bow with a bunch of fanfiction. I'm at least glad that one of the boss fights in this game spits directly into the face of one of the biggest and most popular fanfiction stories that has been constantly been propagated online, even though there was barely anything concrete to it.
Are the sliders for that posted anywhere? Not seeing them.

The tiny image does not do justice to his purpleness.
Imgur should have a source link or whatever that will give you a full-sized image.
The double shield bash can be a complete bitch. That said, if you have a frost weapon, the fight can become pretty easy.

Not only did you miss a great location but you also missed arguably the best boss in the game lol.
lol...
If you did him when you were first there, a long ways still. 1/5 in I'd say.
I got him. I went back and leveled up my butcher knife to +9. That did the trick with my strength at 40.
I like the obscure NPC questlines, because I feel that they are something that FROM doesn't necessarily want you to find right away. They are things you discover over time, or with a guide if you are impatient. Although, having the characters give a little bit more direction in how to follow through would be nice.

One of the few complaints I have with Dark Souls 3 though, is how little variation in dialogue there is for the characters sitting in the bonfire shrine, like you said. Having some extra lines for the Firekeeper and the other two in the room would have gone a long way.
I don't think they should get rid of them; and now that Dark Souls is continuing to sell better as a series, I think they can afford to spend more resources on making the NPCs a little bit more involved and deeper. I think it would be cool actually if their questlines involved more quests and trips and story events/battles. I think this would give a lot more depth to the lore and the characters as well.
uhhhh..... That's like the

Nice man! Yeah. Had my Dark Sword @ around +9 and really got him good. Have fun with the next area. It's...something.
Getting ready to walk in there now, lol.

I'm guessing they tried to use Dark Souls 2 to experiment with the lighting but when it wasn't going well Bloodborne still had time to transition over to something different and still keep a heavy atmosphere.

Yeah I don't really mind the obscure questlines, but some in this game have pretty ridiculous triggers, like the stupid door thing that occassionaly happens, and honestly most of them aren't that great. The only good one for me is Siegfried, Sirris seems incredibly random, and the good ending Irina just seems lazy and underdeveloped.

Mid game-ish location/enemy spoiler:
Is it just me, or is the big gator wolf in Irithyll just a reskin of the Watchdog of the Old Lords? I thought I was finally done with that shitheel.
And that's a wrap, everybody.
Took me 30 hours. I think I missed some optional areas and bosses, but even if that wasn't the case, I'm fine with the lenght.
I think this is the first Dark Souls game to be consistently great from start to finish. I said it on another post, but I really think this is Dark Souls: All Killer, No Filler Edition. Every area was great, bosses were amazing for the most part, and even the ones that weren't that great were miles better than bad bosses from previous games. There was no Bed of Chaos or Covetous Demon here. There was no drop of quality on the second half or Byrgenwerth-sized levels. It's a beautiful package and I loved it from beginning to end.
Some people say there's too much fanservice, so what? The game is a love letter to the series and feels like a sendoff in a lot of ways, so I enjoyed the fanservice too.
I need to see how it holds up in replays, but this could be my favorite Souls game.

Hm, I never found (NPC spoiler)
during the game, but I've been doing some stuff before NG+ and now he's just randomly showed up at Firelink.

WOW FUCK THIS BULLSHIT.
The area with the two giant wolf things down the long ladder in Irithyll can FUCK ITSELF. You half to fight the first one in that tiny fucking starting area or you aggro the other one. This is fucking insane. One hit kills on me if I don't Dodge perfect in that tiny goddamn square.
Yep, done checking OT, hit the 5 day after point where I realized it was taking too much time
Was fun, see you all at the DLC o/
:lol

So, a refined Lothric Knight Sword is pretty darn good at +3. I've got 20 STR and 24 DEX, so my damage is pretty decent. The moveset is really nice too.
I'll try out the Dark Sword when I can get it. Am I close to a farming area for it? I just met

Ran into a hacker. Had a shit ton of health and possibly inifinte flasks but still killed him. Invaded a little while later and he turned on full invincibility this time to be sure.
It's really hard to fight more than one unless you are ridiculously overleveled. They are pretty much cheese-proof. In fact, I have a hard time fighting one as it is. But as others have said, you can aggro one of them with a bow, and then once its killed, it doesn't respawn. You can always summon for help.
Here's a hint: The thing can't gobble you if you have a shield up. I learned that the hard way. It's tuned to devour you if you roll in front of it.

He def depends on build like most bosses for how hard it is. My 20 vigor, light armor, dex dude, was 1 shot by most of his attacks, meaning 1 mistimed roll and it was over. I had a pretty good read on all his stuff, second phase included
dragon shit was pretty annoying tho
Summoned in the end after way too many hours, and watched a Mage blast off giants chunks of health. I think I hit him 2 or 3 times lol
Well maybe it shouldn't be optional then.
