From Software Dark Souls 3

Seems appropriate considering you start the fight by hitting a dragon in the balls.

[...] Lotric Knight Sword +6 [...]

Are you saving your chunks and slabs for marriage or something? You reached endgame areas, you should upgrade to endgame gear. Even with PvP in mind, you won't find people with +6 weapons in dlc areas.

 

[Silverfish]

You actually might in the Ashes dlc, seeing as some people will go there early to pick up weapons or upgrade materials.

I got 43 chuncks lmao. I'm just... reticent. I didn't want to end up like DS2 where i finished the game at like SL 210. Maybe i over did it, but i'm also planning to take this character to NG+ and i wanted to save some "progression" for that. It's the only reason i never play new plus games, it's because the character is done what's there to do?

I overdone my character and ragequitted NG+ after killing Gundyr with 3 hits.

The only reason to play NG+ in DS3 is to reach NG+7 and summon Holy Knight Hodrick in the Road of Sacrifice, so that you can sit back and relax while he takes care of 2-3 invaders at the same time, one-shotting every single one of them thanks to his overinflated stats and his broken flamberge:



(around 1:25 he one-shots two enemies with a single attack)

You mean, to complete game six fucking times just to laugh at the PvP bastards?
God-tier autism

Am I a joke to you?

 

[NJClaw]

God-tier autism

Once you have mastered the game, a run through the main content (4 lords of cinder and last boss, skipping everything else) doesn't require more than 3-4 hours. But yeah, God-tier autism seems an accurate description.

Also, I said that it's the only reason, not that it's a good one.

See, that's what i mean.

And so far it feels the damage i'm doing to bosses is in the "normal" range, and that includes the King of Storms. Only with the Nameless King himself i felt like the weapon was too weak, for the first time, but i managed all the same.

BTW, can anybody tell me WTF is this shit?

So you can find all the best version of those rings in NG? Lmao wat?

Yes, +3 versions of certain rings are in the Ringed City DLC. Incidentally, these rings are also the only ones I care about: Havel, Cloranthy, Favor, and both serpents.

What's funny is that there's the +3 Wolf ring, just to make all that farming for the wolf covenant completely pointless.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Apart from being campy, Ringed City is very beautiful and challenging location and it is also the only location with constant FPS drop (when "outdoors") even on my killer PC.

Also it got some real fuckers who invade professionally, using all the advantages of the terrain.

But why? That just makes playing new plus games even more pointless. It feels really cheap. At least DS2 had that ascetic mechanic, which made more sense. I guess they did it to boost PvP population?

 

[Lyric Suite]

Man i wish i hadn't discovered you can get infinite respec i'm hooked to this shit now.

I just set my vitality to 30 so i can wear the Faraam Set. Apparently armor is completely useless but that set looks SOOO good with my Lothric Shield and Artoras Greatsword lul.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

but that set looks SOOO good with my Lothric Shield and Artoras Greatsword lul.

Fashion Sooooouls!

Post a screenshot of your avatar already.

Welcome to true Souls end game

 

[Lyric Suite]

Honestly though i hope they bring back build variety with Elder Ring the fact DS3 uses the exact same system as Bloodborne for armor is extremely cheap, not the least because i'm sure the reason is that they didn't feel like updating the engine. It just smacks of disinterested laziness.

I just killed the boss with the wolf in the painted world and with the Artoras Greatsword i found it quite difficult i then tried the Lothric Sword and i killed the guy before the wolf even reached our spot lmao fast weapons are just OP in this game.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Wow, three phases on Sister what's her face? Really?

 

[Lyric Suite]

Ok, this is the most bullshit boss in the entire series. I mean ok three stages but why the fuck the second one has to be 25 fucking minutes long. It's not even hard i just gotta wait for the AI to decide to move away from each other, which sometimes it never happens.

Are you still playing with a +6 weapon or something? The second phase shouldn't last more than a minute (or two at worst), if you focus the big guy.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I'm at +9 but it doesn't matter. Just takes too fucking long.

So i decided to take a break and do the other DLC, and there again another boss with a bullshit second phase preceded by an even more excruciatingly long and boring session. So i guess that's the thing now, the new way From can see how "gud" you can get: by testing your patience to the limits and see how well you can handle boredom.

I'm back to do the bare feet thot and my brain isn't even engaged in the first two phases, it's like i'm not even playing the game, it's all automatic, might as well be a long loading screen just so i can get 2 minutes of practice with the third phase until i die to a combo i didn't expect. Rinse and repeat until i finally manage to master the third phase.

 

[Jezal_k23]

Sister Friede is awesome tbh.

The demons are a pain in the ass. If you want to have an easier time with them, use the warden twinblades: bleed procs very fast on demons and deals a good chunk of damage.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Well, killed the thot, now onto the demons.
