When you're about to give in and summon a phantom on Abyss Watchers but you invade and demolish in a 1v2 then ride the momentum into a clean victory :smug:

Some really basic steps:

- Verify the game using steam
- check for video and direct x drivers
- try running dark souls as admin
- Try running in windowed mode

Some really not so basic steps:

- check event viewer and read the crash dump for dark souls 3
- disable your security software

Ya none of that changed anything.

RE: Sirris/Fingers, you can collect the covenant from Rosaria, equip it, invade with it, collect as many pale tongues as you want, and also respec all you want, and you will not break Sirris quest.

Give Rosaria fingers for the hell of it and you will though. Only respec/invade using the covenant symbol if you want to keep that quest intact.


Source: I had rosaria's fingers on and took 19 pale tongues from Popeporch and didn't lose Sirris until I got the obscuring ring

I think the no estus rule is more about saving time and removing an advantage the host might have. You cant stop estus spam very well even with lloyds talismans and the host starts with more estuses. Healing magic is compleatly fine since its the opponents own fault for letting the player heal with such a long cast time. If youre so far away that you cant stop a healing miracle from going off maybe you shouldnt be such a guttles unagressive coward.
Im usually fine with no estus duels even if they are invaders since i just want the fight to be over as fast as possible.

Same here, if the invader isn't trying to tip the scales with nearby enemies or drinking I'll do the same, or at least until the cops arrive :q:

Why do I suck?

I'm finding that even Lothric Knights are tricky when they hit me. I'm easily staggered and none of my hits seem to stagger anything. I can hit something once and it will just swing right through it and murder me with a quickness. Take for example that black rear end in a top hat in the Ferran Keep perimeter. That guy is sick nasty to fight, more so than the red eyed Lothrics.

What have I done wrong?

poise doesn't work and some enemies are just unstaggerable most of the time. you however, are not. this is unrelated but vitality is kind of a worthless stat.

if you're talking about the black knight or the darkwraiths, yeah they're hard as gently caress to stagger. gotta play a keepaway bullshit game or get good at parrying.

I've been getting summoned a lot LESS for wolf covenant ever since the patch. I dunno what's up. I haven't leveled up or nothing

I find Siegward sitting in front of a fire place. I approach, my game crashes. I restart the game, auto save has me just outside the kitchen room, I run down the hall, approach Siegward, talk to him, game crashes mid-dialogue. Repeat that same thing four times. Now I restart my game, Siegward is gone, the textures in the room are hosed up, and I can't leave this kitchen without the game freezing my computer. I've complained enough about this game, I'm done with it. It's a shame I've enjoyed every Souls game until this one, but nothing about this game sits well with me and the constant crashing is the icing on the cake. Maybe I'll give it another shot in a few months.

Yeah put enough points into vitality to look cool while being under 70% for mid-rolls and leave it.

As for suckitude, your stats don't matter too much in regards to that home. There's only one prescription for that sickness.

Nothing, really. Game is just kind of a cluster gently caress. NPCs have poise but no matter how much armor you stack you can't shrug off even the most insignificant of attacks.

Just stack up the DEX and make that Lothric sword Sharp, or change out for a Heavy Dark Sword to make use of that STR. Straight Swords are pretty boss, so at least in that case you're doing it right.

Best bet is to simply out damage things and burn down what you can with R1s. Anytime I try to get fancy and play like this is anything other than skyrim I get punished. Hammer away and maybe I still take some damage, but it's the difference between needing a chug every couple of NPCs versus literally drinking absolutely loving every drop of juice for a single NPC.

If it isn't clear, I'm pretty disappointed with the combat this time around.

qUestion about Catacombs/Lake quest I met uh somebody above the rickety bridge, and found his friend hollow Horace & killed him, then told him about the Lake. Currently one prism stone where he was standing and one on Horace's grave. Think I did everything down there, should I keep looking in smouldering lake for the next part of the quest or can I move on (you can tell me if I messed it up but no specifics otherwise please and thanks)
