Killed the stupid tree. I'm playing as a Pyro and just got the pyro guy. Is it worth it to do the hollowing thing? Unless there is a matching alternative non-hollow quest line I guess I'd do it but if ithere is I'd rather my easy playthrough stay vanilla

IIRC there's no alternative quest line and you can get rid of the hollowing and the dark sigils at the end of the quest line if you want, doing so before you finish the quest will end it prematurely and you won't be able to finish it ever

The huge parasite things hit so loving hard :negative:

It's also really hard to tell if they're attacking or just wigglin around. I haven't died to one yet but I had one spawn while a red guy invaded so I was fighting both and then red guy rolled off building and died and I beat parasite thing. It was hilarious and pure :darksouls:

One of the really cool things I noticed in DS3 is that mobs don't just stand there waiting for you, they move around on patrols and sometimes randomly. You can actually use stealth to avoid some really lovely fights.

The rope bridge sequence is really goddamn cool, felt like I was in some grim dark Jason of the Argonauts poo poo for a second there

Ended up becoming a hexer, got hexers set and sunset staff. I suck at parrying so Persuer is still a pain in the rear end in enclosed spaces and he just happens to be the best source of twinkling titanite needed to upgrade my sunset staff.

However other than the pursuer being a hexer/sorc has been pretty easy with all the other bosses. Just killed the skeleton lords and I guess the chariot boss is up next.

skeleton lords may be the easiest boss in any fromsoft game

if you want twinkling titanite, get yourself to shrine of amana quick

You should explore that bridge! During my first play-through, I managed to miss 3 of the hidden areas/bosses. that bridge is also a ladder on the boss end of things

the undead chariot boss is being a pain in the rear end, running into the alcoves to avoid it means I can't see to well and the skeletons gang up on me and I can't seem to role under the spikes as they roll by. The enemies on the way to the boss aren't hard but still sort of annoying to deal with.

Hit the necro guy 3 doors down on the left, go back one door, kill the 3 skeletons, then work your way down using doors on the right to hide until you kill the 2nd necro, then kill his 3 skels and then all you need to do is hit the switch and kill the horse

There's a loving room in the Smoldering Lake area that has like 10 of those fuckers and it's real goddamn easy to end up fighting all of them at once :argh:

The extra jumping animation they get this time really screws me up. They leap right where they used to go into their pre-spray animation so you can end up wasting an attack and getting caught in the mist. Now I end up backing up a lot to try and take them on one at a time since the packs are extra deadly.

Pinwheel gets by on poo poo lighting and making people panic when burning stamina to get to him when he splits. He's easy but most people die the first attempt.

Dragon Rider is just every melee fight against an opponent with high armor and slow attacks, but if you failed to get the arena to full size I could see him being hard

Covetous Demon is literally :Just put your shield up to his ribs and rotate and attack for the 10 seconds it takes to kill him

would that be the cathedral of the deep? yknow, the area you need to do to progress through the rest of the game?

McSpatula

Aren't both paths mandatory for progression - farron keep and the cathedral? For what it's worth, you can easily skip four of the later bosses before linking the flame if you aren't careful to explore.

Both are needed. Farron for a soul and the Cathedral to get the doll key for entering Boreal Valley.
