Those crystal lizard things that drop scales, I guess you can backstab them? I did it by accident while wailing on it with my hanzo steel.

You probably initiated a visceral attack from behind, when it stumbles you would normally attack its head and get a v-attk.

I like this game, but goddamn, how many times is From going to go back to the "big humanoid boss" well? The bosses that are weird monsters are so much cooler.

Is there anything worthwhile up in the rafters of Cathedral of the Deep. I'm not having much luck up there and having just lost my bloodstain I'd just as soon not go back and try to kill those guys. I think I got everything outside, and I grabbed all the items I could see, but since I was constantly trying to stay alive I might have missed something.

So I'm at the Roads of Sacrifice, I've found an inordinate number of Bonfires, and I'm sick to death of this swamp place. I just killed a big bastard white Stray Demon who would have been cake if it wasn't for his seemingly almost instant grab attack which complicated it slightly, picked up Lightning Spear (HELL YEAH) and some Crystal Lizards at his dead drake buddy. The only way forward I've found is through the Abyss Watchers bossfight, which feels a bit tough right now. Are there any other directions I can go? As I said, I am sick of that swamp, and I think I've fully explored all the non-swamp areas I've found so far, so I don't care about being spoiled on this. Otherwise I'll just have to tough up and git gud at the second phase of the Watchers fight I suppose...

If not go to Crucifixion Woods and explore the ruins where there are some mages with big hats wandering around.

BurntCornMuffin posted:Guide to frost dude: stay in his room and keep a column between you and him at all times so he doesn't charge. Throw fire at him and dodge away to behind a column whilst screaming like a little girl every time he moves. Thanks, but right after writing my little post I tried again and wiped him. I tried luring him into the big room with my crossbow but instead he got stuck on the doorway and I just kept firing at him until he died of boredom.

Abyss Watchers was cool as hell. Took me 4 tries but I loved every attempt. ...on the other hand, the swamp is god awful and I never want to go in it again. I probably missed some stuff but that area is the antithesis of fun. turtlecrunch posted:Some of the weird monsters are minibosses instead. Yeah there a few enemies that I feel would of, or could of, been bosses in old souls games but are just minibosses here. Stuff like the demon in the Settlement for example.

So I invaded a disco? No-one seemed to be able to hurt anyone else so we ran in circles and rolled about like idiots for a good 15 minutes then got disconnected from Steam. GOTY.  In mildly spoilerish news, im so glad i didn't have to fight these fuckers ever again.

Hawkwood normally gives some pro tips for figuring your way through the early part of the game, up until he just sort of vanishes for long periods at a time, but for COTD he says like "it's beyond Farron Keep". No it's loving not Hawkwood, you moron.

MrLonghair posted:Unfortunately Titanite Scale upgrades are a complete mofo to get hold of until later in the game, or if you get all the luck in the world and all the larger lizards drop two each time. There is one very difficult path that can be taken early on that eventually leads to a cache with treasurechests of them, and it's as follows (lightest possible spoilers): Remember the old lady that told you how to leave Highwall? Kill her, kill what comes, head straight forwards and continue the exploration. When you find a dark cool place with someone really chill you're in the right spot AHAHAHA, the Dancer impaled me in one swift motion. Alrighty, time to step up my game, clearly

Internet Kraken posted:So I went back to Firelink after beating the watchers and sorcery guy is dead, depression guy is missing, is someone here a murderer? I hate this stuff. Did you take the free level ups from the sorcery guy? Five of them, perhaps? If so, someone new might be around. RBA Starblade posted:Flynn's ring is a lot shittier than it used to be, for some odd unknown reason. It was probably way too good in DS2, but they definitely brought it down to "why would you ever use this?" level in DS3. Worth noting that it now works based on your current equip load percentage and not on your maximum equip load, unlike in DS2.

The first thing happened to me. If you got five free levels out of him, look around where he was and you'll have a new friend. If not, tough cookies.

Thanks for the advice on which game to start with, y'all. The general consensus seems to be to start with Dark Souls 1 so I suppose I'll go with that. I'm concerned I won't be good enough to ever start actually enjoying the games, but I hope I'm wrong on that score.

Uhh well in that case check the wiki page for Anri of Astora. After you beat the final boss (don't touch anything), USB back up your save if you are on console. On PC idk if you can...
