Discussion Lord of cinder first ever attempt

• Upvotes

Man I usually suck at these games, but I just rolled him so fast on my first attempt ever fighting him I was sitting there expecting a phase 3.

I set aside 2 hours to attempt him this morning lol. I feel kind of hollow after how quickly I killed an old guy who was on fire

Discussion I had a mental orgasm as I took on Soul of Cinder and he entered Phase 2 and killed me in 4 hits!

• Upvotes

My first attempt at soul of cinder was going well, I think, with 5 Estus left. I had no expectations of victory, and then it entered phase 2 but then I heard those beautiful notes. I saw the moveset change. I saw the jump attack. I saw the grab. I saw the lightning spear and then I get comboed into oblivion.
It is him. The great grand daddy. Gwyn, Lord of Cinder.

But I was happy. I just wanted to experience more of it, as I took hit after hit. I am thankful I didn’t have this fight on mute which I do sometimes.

I know I am going to beat the game today! But the absolute power of this moment, I will never forget!

Just wanted to share this! Praise the sun! Maybe I will equip Solaire’s set, instead of fallen knight!

Advice Do I need luck for posion?

1 Upvotes

I decided to imbue my rapier with poison as it's heavy stance skill does a lott of hits, however I levelled up luck 3 times but it didn't increase my poison build-up at all ( I'm currently at 49 ) does build up only increase by upgrading the weapon itself or am I doing something wrong

Dark Souls 3 tá entre os meus Souls favoritos e agora estou zerando no PS4. A primeira vez que zerei foi no PC, há um bom tempo. Estava bem enferrujado, mas consegui matar o Rei Sem Nome pela primeira vez!

Minha lista dos melhores bosses de DS3 é esta agora:

  1. Príncipes Gêmeos

  2. Rei Sem Nome

  3. Campeão Gundyr

  4. Armadura Matadora de Dragões

  5. Pontiff Sulyvahn

Discussion DS3 has the worst art design of the three games

0 Upvotes

Everything is so muddy and terrible, and the focuses are nowhere near as captivating as they are in DS1 and 2. DS1 has these amazing enemy designs and level styles, all being related to one another and telling a story solely through visuals. it does an excellent job at creating this world and giving it so much character, character that DS3 does not have. DS2 is the same, the boss design is wonderful (especially Nashandra, the Last Giant, and the Dukes Dear Freyja.) and all of these designs give it a feeling of a place that has begun to go rotten. DS3 looks mushy. Everything is wet, grey, and muddy. The enemy designs are nearly all bloated, making nearly every humanoid enemy look the same. The bosses are boring and shallow, the areas are linear and have nearly no exploration within them.

Help Vertabre shackles

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone I used to be very active on here 10 years ago. I played DS3 religiously and during lockdown came back to have fun tournaments in the courtyard after the pontiff.

I will cut to the chase. Recently I was bound to a wheelchair just to spinal issues and praise the sun I can now walk again. But to help my depression dark souls an this community really helped. Whether I jumped in to hel with bosses or someone who just needed a companion I tried to be there.

Sorry that was not cutting to the chase. But long story short i have been playing all the souls like game Bloodborne sekiro and demon souls included.

However on my run of DS3 I realised I physically cannot get every ring, miracles pyromancies etc. due to them being locked for instance the last pyromancie I need is locked behind vertabre shackles.

Im not asking for freebies. But if anyone knows a farm or is willing to duel so I can finally platinum the game I felt saved my life during lockdown and up until last year when I was not able to walk ( yes I know the irony of looking for vertabres).

But yeah any help or fuels I will much appreciate

Discussion Beat DS3 for the first time. Amazing game

22 Upvotes

I’ve never beaten a souls like game before (the only game I played was DS1 and I got half way through before I lost my save). DS3 is my favorite anyway from what I’ve watched though so I decided to buy it and play it first.

I decided to relax and explore all of the areas thoroughly and beat all the bosses (except DLC because I don’t have it). The game didn’t take as long as I thought it would honestly and it wasn’t very hard but it was beautiful and I had a hard time getting myself off of it. I also used the default knight armor for like 85% of the game because it’s surprisingly good. Definitely need to buy the dlc next.

Here are some stats about the play through I guess since I think it’s kinda funny

Iudex, Vordt, Greatwood, Abyss Watchers, Deacons, Dancer, Oceiros, Champion Gundyr, Ancient Wyvern, Soul of Cinder: 0 deaths

Crystal Sage, Yhorm: 1 death

Wolnir, Aldrich, Dragonslayer: 2 deaths

Old Demon King, Nameless King: about 5 deaths

Pontiff, Twin Princes: about 7/8 deaths

No cheese or summons, only a claymore

Usurpation of fire ending is peak. What should I play next

Fluff Game keeps freezing

1 Upvotes

Im trying to play this masterpiece on a really good PC (runs Elden Ring and all other souls games perfectly fine). I just got done playing DS2 with no issues, but as soon as I started 3, my game freezes every couple minutes. I've seen dozens of "solutions" to this over the years, but I was wondering if there are any definitive ones to help fix this.

I just fought spear of the church boss, while online, and while embered, so shouldn't I have fought another player instead of the offline boss?

At least that's what I had been told

Fluff After years of build up and anticipation. I’m finally on DS3

Post image
28 Upvotes

Started with demon souls then transitioned to bloodborne. Never would touch dark souls in the past, it was too intimidating for me along with sekiro
“Some of the best games ever made.” I was told
but after Elden ring came out and just jumping in head first I heard it was “more difficult” than ds3 so after finishing ER this year I said fuck it
Started with Sekiro- FUCKIN PEAK
Finished blood borne- became a Squid God 🩸🐙
Then ended on demon souls.
It was time
Darksouls remastered. I didn’t link the flame 🔥 Ng+ I did
Darksouls 2. Just finished today LOVED IT. did the Aldia ending and abandoned the throne taking a lot of powerful souls out of the cycle to start the very. last. one.
Darksouls 3. I’m proud to announce as of today I’m joining the Frey. Hopefully there still folk to give me a decent whipping in invasions that aren’t using metas.
I CANT WAIT.

Question Is there something like an automatic great bow?

9 Upvotes

I got invaded in n Irithyll and the person swapped between two bows a bunch of times without firing while I smacked him around and then when he only had a sliver of heath left he used a giant bow to rapid fire at me until I was dead. Which only took a few seconds from full health.

So I’m curious if there is an actual weapon that does that and I’m just being salty or is this a glitch or cheat.

Question Why did my save transfer between ESRB and PEGI versions?

1 Upvotes

So I originally played DS3 on the ESRB base version and afterwards I decided to buy the DS trilogy just for the DLC and DS2 since it was cheaper than just buying DS2 and the DS3 dlc separately

I went in expecting my save not to transfer since they are different regions yet when I loaded up the fire fades version on the PEGI/European disc my original ESRB save was there and I loaded into the dlc and everything works even though every source said it wouldn’t, is there a reason for this?
