They're ridiculous, I'm sure that flying kick attack does more damage than most bosses do. I've stopped fighting them now, it isn't worth the hassle, I just chuck an undead hunter charm which lets you loot them safely.

I'm in the mid-game right now, but I have the Hollowslayer at +3 and it's demolishing. Haven't felt the need to switch, even with the cool moveset and range of the Wolf Knight's greatsword. Wolnirs seems a bit underwhelming IMO.
But yeah, only the greathammers are even coming close to outpacing my Hollowslayer, and it's just got a good balance of speed and moveset. Especially with the wolf knight greatshield to enable weapon attacks.
If I find enough upgrade materials for the Wolf Knight's greatsword, I may switch though. I really like its weapon arts.

I certainly am enjoying it. Though, I'm more talking about invasions. Lv 35 - 43 is super fun.

Can we nickname the NPC you fight that drops the D
"Kylo Ren"? He looks just like him.

lol that is madness
I have nowhere to go but Irithyll Dungeon and reading your sories about this place makes me not want to enter AT ALL, I've been sitting at the bonfire for 10 minutes now
I love this place, there's only one thing that bothers me about it. I found an old cell key and I have no idea where to use it. I've cleared that place about ten times and no luck. I'm starting to think that I possibly used that key already and simply forgot about it. The description says that it's to open the oldest cell in the dungeon. I'll google it once I beat the game.

I switched to an alt account to ditch my embarrassing tag so I could be an embarrassing Naughty Dog fanboy in peace. Ask me anything!
Lol that ending is epic with the two skeleton enemies at the back respawning. LMAO

It's in

Man, this thread moves way too fast. I'm still back on page 30ish.
At the dungeon now. Not looking forward to it.
Went back and mopped up a bunch of stuff in various areas last night and I totally screwed myself out of respecing. Having to stop to feed a baby and came back, exited out of a menu screen and accidentally killed Rosaria. Shit shit shit.
Was going to change to a fast female light armor build before NG+, to test out fashion souls with gear and weapons all unlocked.
Might just start a new character now. Or do NG+ and race through first bosses to get back to the Cathedral of the Deep.
Hmmm... quite a pickle indeed.
And I screwed up pretty much every NPC quest this run through.

Sort of? Throughout the series when you encounter identical enemies in later areas they generally have their stats buffed a bit so you don't completely crush them (although it's usually subtle enough that your own upgrades outstrip them).
How did you do the latter? Got there last night, and it seems like my hits aren't doing much damage, although somehow I did a hit and it did like 1/3 of his life bar? No idea how I did that.
I suspect the
Grand Archives
The Duke's Archives
Really like that
There is a secret passage near the top that brings you on the celling and you can use it to access the archives archways.
There is also
only one bonfire
Level 108, duels at the last area and after Pontiff. Will probably level to 115 or so. Still don't have enough VIT for the armor I want to wear.

Hmm I am thinking if I do not care about PvP and just level up for 40+ Dex the refine will be a better choice... but wanting to stay at lower 100s for PvP will stick with Heavy.

Is there another way to get the buckler if Greirat has left?
Is the parrying dagger worth anything?
Thinking about parry and UGS in PvP.

why does the estus flask animation take a million years

You need points in Adaptability. Oh wait, that was Dark Souls 2.
Edit- you can also press the item button while using estus to drink more in the same animation

I was bummed, I did this on purpose for this reason and the mimic died halfway through. Got the thing a few hits away and it did its stupid nuke explosion

Tone is a hard thing to get right in typing but I meant it more in a humorous fashion. I definitely don't suddenly dislike an area because others do ha. I mean shit, I actually like Lost Izalith quite a bit.
Buckler stats are worse than the Small Leather Shield. You should use that instead.
Probably to balance out combat where you can't insta-heal during it.

Same boat. What level are you? It seems to me if limiting leveling to stay in the PvP range the heavy would be better for me then refined.

So is it possible I'm just really shitty at these games and they're not for me. I'm only about 6 hours in...but that's about 2 hours each with 3 different characters. I've tried a few classes out to see what might work for me, but I can't even make it to the first real boss without just getting frustrated as hell with what are basic enemies.
Any tips, other than just being patient and waiting for the right time to strike/roll against some of these early enemies?
Thanks

They are doing it specifically to make you mad though, so don't give in to that. Do you think that they don't realize how cheap it is? If you run into gank squads make them work for it. Run like hell and use enemies that are up as your shields. It is really hard to actually kill someone that is just trying to run away in this game.
Wat? The flask is super fast in this game. Like it is nearly impossible to stop someone from healing fast.

You can still get the skeletons in the area to attack the demon. That's what I did to defeat it easily.

It's not a bug. People are literally getting summoned faster than people can put signs down.
the moment you hear a sign pop, get to the closest one, then you might as well wait for the signs to refresh.
That or look in non-traditional areas. But if youre at a boss door or bonfire, you have to get them the second they spawn or you're too late.
If its a friend, use a password.
I'm only level 33 or so, just beat AW. Not far in the game.
Not planning on capping leveling for pvp or anything, though
You sure havent played DS2.
I feel lIke it's way slower than previous games. I've killed myself so many times because of this, and frequently do more harm than good when healing on a boss.
Well, in DS2 it was slow, but couldn't you upgrade the speed iirc?

You didn't care for Un
tended Graves?I ended up loving that area with how dark and tense it was. The firelink shrine there made for some interesting pondering about what's going as well.

That's what I actually liked about it. It still took me a few tries but I enjoyed the cathartic element of just letting loose on this giant mass of priests after watching my step for the entire level. I used the Drang Hammers skill combo on them.
The worst is the fucking "net zero heal" where you drink an estus and then during the animation, the boss hits you for exactly the same amount you healed for and you've effectively done nothing other than fuck up your rhythm and flush estus down the shitter.
I went Wolf cuz it's that sword! I like the skills too but I keep forgetting to use it.
You could but it was still nowhere as fast as DS3. In DS2 drinking an estus during a battle was extremely risky, now it's nearly risk free. Just dont carelessly drink.
