From Software Dark Souls 3

ENB was good until his chink wife cucked him and it made him too depressed to put effort into videos, so he just started doing shitty unwatchable Twitch streams.

 

Yawn the Giant
Hurr we like Skyrim

 

Dude, I'm just saying that there isn't much note worthy on his stream, thus I can find the same thing about literally everywhere. I don't care that he's some kind of eminence when it doesn't affect the current content, or it hasn't since a loong time. Tell about who's a fanboy here.

And the video is the same thing literally everyone who bothered to play them and inform themselves know. Hell, as much as I dislike Matthewmatosis' "critique", that at least is comprehensive.

 

He's actually kind of fun if your dont use the Storm Ruler...

 

I found it alright, it WAS really damn "epic" mainly due to the boss theme, but they should have squeezed their heads a bit and make a more interesting gimmick boss rather than just throwing the DeS reference, putting some weak points, giving him a basic moveset and calling it a day. DS3's gimmick bosses kind of suck. Yet another thing they could have capitalized on and made something to top all their previous, but jus didn't bother.

 

I am seriously done with motherfucking knights in motherfucking castles.

And then game just throws ScreamsEffort first location in monochrome.

So Gyndir has 3 attacks with his left hand. Two of them are actually blockable, while one (grab) isn't and almost kills you. Although, the elbow strike is KO anyway since before char gets up boss kills him.
He also strikes with his leg faster than I raise my shield or dodge after I hit him lel. So far Knights in Castles 20: Shadenaut :0

I also laughed hysterically when I realised I did about half damage I usually do to both Aldritch and then dragon granpa, because they're resistant to magic damage, and I am all magical. It's not the first time but I didn't know split damage weapons can be so problematic. Should have rolled a paladin or just 40 STR & use resin.

Btw, Pontiff's biggest strength, his love for purple prose, is his biggest weakness. He is not invulnerable while summoning it and weapon with big slash can hit both him and it. He summons it even when on low hp. Three claymore strikes - clone dead, -30% boss hp. Three baits - boss dead.

 

It would have been worse, believe me.

Honestly, it sounds like you might need a respec. Take some magic off you and be more about having a viable melee option and then buff or cast whatever instead of being constantly halved. As for Gundyr, he really doesn't have all that many HP and you can rollspam him to death, nevermind how much of a chump is when you parry.

 

In my experience Knights in the Castle are piss-easy if you use combat skills and nigh unbeatable otherwise. If you haven't explored the skills, now may be the time to do so.

 

soooo those 5 crystal weapons I have might have been a mistake then ( I also made MBGS & Mace Windu's Judgement claymore)

but wizards are cool?
that Aldritch human centepide, like I CAST RAIN OF ARROWS
and me like you shall not pass! WALL OF LIGHT
and her spell gets deflected back
I felt like Gandalf. probably the only time and only once in whole game when magic actually did something in combat.
well you can also make Yawn Giant's head boing in a funny way with magic missile like Saitama's head in One Punch Man after sea king hit him

I am an idiot so I didn't figure out how basically, I took sword and read "this one stronk against giants". "cool" I thought and tried to hit him... 100 damage. I think - well maybe I need to hit particular part. So I figure out how to get his head and crit him in the head with sword... 1000 damage. "cool" I thought, and out of interest tried to do same with my Crystal Claymore +8 at a time. 2000+ damage.....
"ffs From Software" I said and went on to kill him with claymore&magic missiles.

THEN I actually watched someone else to do it on youtube

It somewhat came from previous Dancer fight. "weak against dark" I read on wiki. "cool" I thought and made a spear with Dark damage +6 or so. 200 damage... I hit with Claymore which was a level or two above at a time. 300 damage... "ffs!!11"
And that's where I stopped caring about enemy resists.

 

Take out the magic infusion from the claymore, shove a raw one into it.

Greatshield of Glory, stick to them like glue, circle to your right and backstab their shit.

I decided to try roll a new character. My XP from going through the game once and playing the others really shows. I am at the Cathedral in just under 4 hours with 4-5 deaths, 2 alone from the Crystal Sage. It also helps that this time I'm not fucking around. Grabbed the Claymore from the High Wall, Raw infused it because then I can put all my levels into HP and stamina and it seems the scaling is shit at low levels, shield up, ember always on. Just when I though that the raw Clay is the shit, I transfused the Hollowslayer Greatsword...this weapon is fucking broken. The hitbox is bonkers, if something is in my general vicinity it's getting hit even if it's nowhere near the direction I'm swinging. Not to mention, the sword has Hyper Armor coming out its ass.

 

Faith characters start off very weak for pretty much the entire first half of game and only become somewhat viable once you get Lightning Blade. You basically have to beat the game before you can actually have a complete Faith character, which is super lame. It's only okay for me because I usually always take characters into NG+ anyway. At this point, Faith characters become one of the strongest builds in the game, especially for PvE, thanks to all the buffs which allow for a 3 different types of elemental damage. Ideally, buffs should be added on top of weapons with a physical infusion, unless you character has only the minimum str/dex to wield the weapon. There are exceptions and those are among the best weapons in the game right now, such as the Saint Bident, which I find to be the strongest when buffed, even if you have the minimum str/dex.

Yhorme is weak to lightning damage, a great strategy against him is to cast a lightning spear at his head to proc a critical hit and deal a lot of damage at once. He is also vulnerable to strike damage, if you must go the melee route.
The Dancer is weak ot Bleed and Lightning, with that knowledge in mind, you can cut down the Dancer quite early. I find Faith has a significant advantage in the later game overall.

 

Nah, I don't think many people figured that out on their own. The fact you have to hold the heavy attack for 5 seconds is such a big fuck you from Miyazaki. Like that puzzle with the crow's nest in DS1. Miyazaki, you sonofabitch.

Yeah, split damage weps. For such a well designed games like Souls it's such a hilarious design fuckup lol. "Here, have an infusion that makes your weapon worse! - Hidetaka Miyazaki, the God of design."

 

Fucking Storm Ruler, I thought it was useless as well when I fought Yhorm, I figured out the way it works only because I was unsure whether I was being trolled with a useless weapon or with a very useful weapon that you have to perform a rain dance before it does something. Crow was easy though Scratch that, what exactly are you talking about, the fact you have to sit for a bit in the nest before it grabs you or did I miss something? On the other hand, "Show your humanity". How about I show you the business end of my boot, you obscure pricks.

 

I'd say faith chars can be quite good quite early on. You can bless a halberd before the catacombs and just breeze through that area. Then e.g. lightning-infuse the claymore and with high faith you're set.

I found the lightning offensive spells to be useless, though.

 

Concidering they changed system to mana-based, I don't understand why are there so few spell slots. There are spells like Light or Cure ailment, yet you either take those or a damaging spell. Would it be so bad to have 5 spells at least for average ATN? You end up using mostly invisibility and maybe one type of magic missile, or wasting multiple ring slots. For a game that prizes itself as Castlevania 3D, there could have been more uses for spells and just... more spells avaible.
60 sec duration for everything, even Light, is also terribad. And life of a not NG+ spellcaster is fairly miserable in general. Cause where do you get points to raise ATN to at least 25 or more?

 

I do think the FP system in 3 was absolutely not well thought out and is directly worse than the Spell Count system. As it is, DS2 remains the best in regards to Spellcasting.

 

They buffed elemental damage pretty heavily in patch 1.14. You can hit the softcap for chaos or dark infusion weapons by only putting 30 into faith and int. They buffed the damage they do as well significantly. I went through NG+ with a Chaos infused Harald Curved Greatsword and the Lothric Knight Greatsword which has innate lightning damage and you can buff with lightning blade to add about an extra 150 lightning damage. So you'll have about 500 physical damage and 300 lightning total. Ran through the bosses quite easily. You just have to make sure they are vulnerable to the element you're using. Most are vulnerable to either fire or lightning and that's been the theme of the game since DS1. Magic and Dark suck for PvE although Dark is good for PVP for regular attacks.

 

I just got the respawning skeletons in the Catacombs to agro on the demon and kill his ass while I just stood by and watched. Probably the most satisfying thing I ever did in Dark Souls 3, nothing will ever come close. Time to uninstall.

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

after 50 hours

is that
an actual

Dark Souls boss?!11

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

my body is ready

all I have is +10 claymore and +10 astora great sword tho (since it has S in INT, I am slowly getting better with it). one faster, one hits harder.

 

..............well that turned into a fight with giant knight with big weapon quickly.

 

Lul, my thoughts exactly.

"ZOMG a dragon fight? Yisss. A welcome change from all the goddamn fast jumping knights.
.
.
.
Ah. :sigh:"

 

I told you. You didn't listen.

 

Well, after 50 hours, having one moment of actual amazement, even if it's Gwyn on a dragon... I'll take it, it's an achievement for a game anyway.

 

This is sad.

Anyway, I think the two bosses that are actually the best of its kind... Are the Demon Prince and the Deacons of the Deep. I actually really like DoTD.
