There are various fist weapons in the base game that you can get relatively early. They're not flashy and use the basic punching animations.
Another weapon ripped straight from Dark Souls 2. You can tell that whenever FS is lacking creativity they just go back to Dark Souls 2 and borrow something from it. That's how you know it was the best.
Yes, you've been sperging about action combat for a long time. Doesn't make you right but sure as hell made a lot of people shit post about your beloved DD.
You keep bringing up DD, not him.
Why is your endurance so low? That's like the most important stat next to vigor.
Because this is the variety of game known as an 'RPG' I would hope players would take the time to gather equipment, spells, items, and yes, level up, as needed to prepare for an encounter. This isn't a pure action game where you're intended to roll around like a crackhead getting frame perfect dodges 100% of the time. If you want to do that, that's fine, but you shouldn't be surprised when it's a punishing playstyle.
The gaol knight is the first indication that you're supposed to move on and find scadutree blessings before coming back and challenging him, like the Tree Sentinel in the base game. The damage is much less painful then. He still has a shitton of poise then, but you can adapt by dodging and looking for openings, blocking and using guard counters, or using ashes of war to poise break like you did.
I've not got that far into the DLC but as far as I know she's still the only way to respec
I didn't really have any need to boost END past 25 with my INT caster build to beat the base game and all major bosses. I put 35 in after respec because that's basically what I had left after getting everything else I want. Next points will have go there as I get them. If I get into real trouble I'll use another Larval Tear to move stuff around again, but the only place I can really cut from is STR and I'd prefer to avoid that.
I'd happily try that out, but with how much damage I do to that Furnace Gollum it would take me about an hour to chip away at its health stack and I'm pretty sure I'd miss a jump after about 50 minutes and be burnt to a crisp.
The furnance giants are like the bow/halberd golems, they take tiny chip damage until you stagger them and then lose half their health from a crit. You have to stagger them 3 times to get a crit though.
Have you cleared out Limgrave and especially the Weeping Peninsula area down south? To me he seemed like a wall that was meant to encourage you to explore more and upgrade weapons/flasks/ashes. The area just past him is one of the better ones in the game, I would at least cheese his fight to get past it..
Did you try using spirits, summons and to upgrade your weapon of choice? Those things really help. Also is very important to level your Vigor, I cannot stress this enough, it makes difficulty more manageable, at least until endgame. You can also ignore the boss and go somewhere else and come back when your character is stronger. You can even complete the game without doing that dungeon, you can find a path around it. Upgrading you weapon is your main source of damage early on, so you can ignore your main stat and focus on leveling Vigor, Endurance and Mind, in that order, until you have a weapong with good scaling. Finally, you can always go for a bleed build, at least to kill Margit. Is really effective through the game and after Margit is dead you can change to something else if you prefer. There are multiple choices for a bleed build in Limegrave that work very well against Margit.
You are not a gamer (or a man for that matter) and should refrain from commenting on the quality of games.
Exactly?
