Shelby Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just reached the Catacombs. Not having much fun at all. I think I've cleared everything before this and I'm starting today. They seemed fucking cool looking. Anyone having a much easier time using close range melee in this game than the others? It felt like a handicap in DS1 I'm kinda bummed I haven't gotten stuck yet.

dapeebs Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Close Combat definitely feels a lot more fluid and fast, like Bloodborne. I feel like I can chain and stun lock a lot more enemies than I could in DS1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just using a Darksword and even big enemies are getting staggered and easily dispatched. I'm probably over leveled too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Abyss Watchers fight became so easy when I realized how easy it was to stun lock him. I feel like levelling is harder in this game though. After a boss in DS1 or Bloodborne I could usually level up 3-4 times. In DS3 I usually only get enough for 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Started NG+ earlier. The last fight is incredible. I hope they end up patching the Darkmoon covenant because farming for Rank 2 was a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooks Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I thought the final boss was kind of dumb. Total roll of the dice. if he pulls spear you can take half his health without getting hit. If he pulls magic and then god forbid the curved sword, youre spending half your flasks. He wasnt particularly hard, but the luck portion of the fight was stupid. First few times i played him i either used no heals until he juggled me to death at the end of phase 2 or i was out of heals before phase 2 because he kept doing magic and curved sword simultaneously. Meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gogh Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Oh man, you guys are so far ahead! Ha, I've just finished the old demon king. I really am finding the bosses far FAR too easy though. Hoping NG+ steps things up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm so obsessed with this game right now. I'm REALLY far behind most. I'm still trying to clear the cathedral and I haven't even touched the swamp/ferron, yet. I just love how much this game is like DS1. I feel like I'm always struggling for souls, and I'm stuck using the deep battle axe. I want to switch weapons, but with limited upgrades available, there really isn't any comparison. I guess if I moved more through the game, the upgrades would appear, but I'm super afraid I'll miss more things like I already have! Good times. Need more souls.

Try spending some time grinding out a load of souls and levelling up. Concentrate on vigor, endurance, and depending on your build probably strength or dexterity. If you can, level up your weapon and if it helps you maybe your shield. If this is your first souls game (assume maybe it is?), get to grips with rolling through moves and learning the boss' move-set. Rolling at specific points will generally make you invincible to most moves, though some are unavoidable. Take your time, bait their moves, and attack when the timing is right. Most bosses have different move-sets depending on their health so don't assume the fight will stay they same all the way... Good luck man!

Santa Bateman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 i played ds a tad bit. played BB a bit also. even though i know i suck at these games i still buy them. i like seeing the enemies bosses atmosphere. etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hoping NG+ steps things up... It really doesn't... i just finished NG+, and if anything, i found it much easier than NG because I already knew what to expect and was already familiar with boss movesets. i don't think i've been stuck on a boss for more than 4-5 tries. (most took 1-2) buuuut that's okay. this game is still incredible. demon's souls was like that too, where the areas were tough, but the bosses really weren't. but with limited upgrades available, there really isn't any comparison. I guess if I moved more through the game, the upgrades would appear, but I'm super afraid I'll miss more things like I already have! don't you worry, upgrade materials become veryyyyyyy abundant as drops. once you find the right ashes they're even purchasable from the shrine handmaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Well damn. Pontiff Sulyvahn is definitely the toughest boss for me so far. All the other bosses I was able to get at least half their health down. I can't more than 3 hits in before I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Gogh Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Dragoncrest shield, dark sword, and the fallen knight armour set is the way forward for the entire game! I've been near unstoppable with that combo. My advice for Pontiff Sulyvahn is... ...dodge, dodge, and dodge! Just keep rolling until he stops his combos and sneak in an attack or two after. High stamina will obviously help! When he reached phase two, take out his ghost/phantom immediately, preferably while he's "summoning" him. The ghost pre-empts every attack the real Pontiff Sulyvahn makes with the same one so expect two of every move if you cant take him out immediately.

kannibal Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 shit dragoncrest shield is life <3 Just found the Dragoncrest Shield. I really like that little area where I found it. So after inadvertently starting down the "dark" path, I decided to fully embrace it on my first play through. (Funny as I also accidentally did the dark ending the first time I finished DaS). The problem is that I am sooooo bad at invading and PVP combat! I should just change my name to Free Souls and Ember, so when I invade, the host knows what to expect!

rooks Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 lulz Had a lot of fun as an Aldrich Faithful. That little area is such a good spot for invades. #1 because there is a lot of summon signs anyway in the courtyard right outside of Sulyvahn, but also because PVErs have just killed Sulyvahn so are therefore embered when they venture out. Then I get called in to defend the honor of Aldrich. had similar fun with Darkmoon. Haven't played around with Rosaria's yet. I'm sure it will be fun but I'm a little concerned about gank squads. Will prob experiment with it this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
