I dunno what weapon you use, but I use Lorian's Greatsword and a single R1 attack knocks them on their rear end. I just charge R2 as they're getting up and one-shot them. I dunno if there's a secret to it. A Great Chaos Fireball knocks them down too

That works! Though I accidentally tried from the back at first and that just makes you do the backstab. I then let them kill me for "vengeance". You need to go to the side to do it, it just forces one of them to stand.

Here's a video that has some suggestion of it. Some people also think it affects things like weapon swings, and not just heavy weapons too. Which would basically make Poise more like ADP.

That video explicitly says that they couldn't find anything that is effected by poise other than the recovery frames of rolls. It doesn't say anything about hyper armor during attacks.

I have to say that Dragonslayer Armour and the Final boss are hands down the best fights in the game. The Final boss song gives off an alarming about of goosebumps, absolutely loved it.

Saddest fight I think was the twin princes.

Man Twin Princes are still wrecking me. I can do the first phase easily enough now but something about the second part just has me constantly slightly off. I almost did it once but discovered what happens when you kill the sword prince first then decide to back off and heal before finishing off the other one.

For the ones lower in the dungeon you can kite them with a bow while you go around the corner of the walls. Can drag them one by one with little to no drop in health. Or just let out the cross monster to kill them.

Actually, he only mentions the difficulty of early bosses.

quote:

Indeed, we've received feedback that Bloodborne early game was too difficult and many inexperienced players were frustrated. Therefore Dark Souls 3 early game difficulty was toned down to guide players into the game. Of course veterans will feel it's too easy but they should be satisfied with late game difficulty.

Like a lot of enemies, they're super easy to interrupt. The only real trick, that I know of, is to just rush in there and pop them on the nose before they (slowly) brand you. They don't have a lot of health and will probably die before you deplete your stamina bar.

I find it hard to believe they toned down the difficulty of the early areas when Lothric Knights are basically identical when you run into them again later and are still a pain in the rear end.

Other people have been testing it and the general idea is that more poise means more super armor on certain animations and weapon arts.

Something you may not have realized (I didn't) that may affect how you approach this boss - the younger Prince's health is the important thing. Don't worry about the Elder Prince being healed because once you kill the younger Prince the Elder will immediately die. If I had known that the first time I fought him I would have eaten the extra hit to get in one last shot and kill him rather than backing off and then getting caught by the recovered Elder Prince coming after me with a combo.

I had fun with the painting guardian sword on my dex playthrough. Sharp infused that thing does hella damage and it also bleeds pretty quick.

The short range makes hitting some enemies kind of awkward, though. The dancer herself, actually, has a very awkward profile for the thing.

Started a herald because I liked the look of a medium armor wearing, spear totin' crusader supporter. Questing between fronts, delivering holy missives and orders from on high via my Way of the White. I feel a very Heide's Knight vibe from this class with the starting spear and the flowing white cape.

Oh, the cape.

With that, can I go ahead and assume that a faith/dex build will suit me just fine again? If I stick with the starting armor I should be fine, because really the aesthetics are pleasing. I'll certainly pick up another, better spear, but I'm not sure how to go about infusing it. Has anyone gone with the herald and had any luck with it?

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Okay, Nameless King down. Holy cow that guy's a wrecking ball.

But his chest piece work well with the other pieces of the Sunset set, which are my favorites.

when I saw previews or streams of that fight before, I couldn't make it out, but seeing him for myself, you can really tell the guy was hollow as hell. He had no eyes or nose left because he was so far gone.

How strongly do heavy or sharp weapons change the scaling? Can you convert a weapon to different scaling entirely(I'd assume if you could it'd poor compared to its original) or at least shift a quality-ish weapon entirely one way? I've only ever used it to enhance weapons that already matched the infused scaling.
