Jose posted:i think i'm going to have to give up on a heavy weapon against nameless king there just isn't enough time to attack between his attacks to recover properly I did him the other day with a Gargoyle Flame Hammer and it's perfectly possible, it's even quite easy because it poisebreaks so well so you will get those criticals in. You can hit the dragon's head easily: - after he did the lightning spear + swoop attack, he'll land and do nothing for a second - during the firebreath; listen for the audio cue, and he'll usually jump back for it. Run towards the dragon's neck, forwards and inwards to avoid the fire. - when he tries to melee you. Keep the camera on the rider, check when he's about to slam down the weapon; it's tricky because it's super delayed. - during his lightning slam. - NOT during his combo, too risky. - NOT after he lands from a downward fire breath, he can follow that up with a melee too quickly (you'll probably hit the dragon though, so risk-free for the last hit). He himself is pretty loving tough, but also doable with the slow weapon. You have to be careful and deliberate anyway, it doesn't really add much if you can possibly one-two him instead of having to be content with a single hit. And three times critical attack during one bossfight is pretty drat sweet. Liu posted:you're better off, I did Siegwards quest the first time I played through out of a sense of completion but he makes the Yhorm fight a loving joke. This probably isn't what you want to hear but I honestly wouldn't bother worrying about it. The only thing I could suggest is maybe you didn't exhaust all his dialogue options every time you spoke to him? You can never tell with this game

i'm not locking on but its not helping a great deal becuase i can't see poo poo and then i get hit by the nameless king on the back of the dragon because suddenly its blocking my view because it moved slightly or it does the fire breath but i miss my attacks just slightly because i've swapped to a faster smaller weapon that sometimes doesn't reach i hate fights where it feels i'm fight the camera more than the boss Jose fucked around with this message at 20:35 on May 8, 2016 |

I felt like there were a lot of bosses with tricks or gimmicks in this game, but I prefer that to a bunch of boring looking dudes or tough normal enemies or whatever; half the normal enemies in this game have as complex and dangerous a moveset as the loving bosses in Dark Souls 1 anyway Demon's Souls had a lot of "gimmicky" bosses too

When Goku came back from training on King Kai's planet and kicked the poo poo out of the green guys and Nappa that was cool, charging your sword and the boss falling on the floor like a Life Alert commercial is not cool. In my opinion of course.

So I'm planning a PvP character around the dual katannas, but apparently they have really wonky scaling? As in, despite requiring 25 dex making them sharp actually results in them doing less damage than if they were uninfused. I'm not sure what kind of infusion to give them in light of that. Has anyone else tried them?TaurusOxford posted:Considering Yhorm is a Lord of Cinder, yes, he should be challenging. It feels like they intentionally designed Yhorm to be a joke so they could justify the boss-after-boss setup with Dancer. Doesn't make sense since you can fight Yorhm before Aldrich. Whichever one you kill last is the one that teleports you. argondamn posted:

So what's the verdict on this game? In terms of mechanics and gameplay variety is DS3 a closer sequel to Dark Souls, or a sequel to Dark Souls II? I have about 1000h between DS1&2, but DS2 soured me just enough that I decided to hold off on buying this one. Was there any form of acknowledgment that the way they released SotFS was very poorly handled? I need to at least know they wont be pulling that bullshit again.

Actually if I remember right that poster is a weird outlier in that they like Ds2 but got really really really mad that SotFS was made and they had to pay 20 dollars on the PC to play it. Its not likely to happen again given that there probably isn't a new generation of consoles around the corner that DS3 will be incompatible with, but no guarantees.

It's much more ds1 than ds2, including a shitload of areas that are just like ds1 with a slight twist. And if you liked the mechanics in ds1 more than 2, then this is for you.

Theres like 80ish kills in the clip.Group fights in DS3 are just agonisingly long sometimes because of how easy it is to heal. Heres a 3v1 clip thats trimmed to the absolute limit that's only that short because eustus was used 1 time. They often go on for way longer, and you can't just show yourself killing the host because thats super boring. https://u.pomf.is/muwdib.mp4

Jose posted:i think i'm going to have to give up on a heavy weapon against nameless king there just isn't enough time to attack between his attacks to recover properly Stand a little bit in front of the dragon's head. You won't have any difficulty seeing the boss or what he's doing. Be closer to the neck/head than you think you need to be when it's actually time to attack, though- I had the same trouble at first. Rider does any of his attacks- roll in, underneath the neck, then attack. Finding the right angle can be tricky, but even with a slow weapon you can do it. Having a vertical strike to your weapon helps but isn't necessary. Dragon head goes back to its left/your right- grounded flame breath incoming. Run at the neck and you have a poo poo load of time to wallop it. Dragon roars and goes straight up- vertical fire breath incoming. Roll backwards a few times. Dragon turns to its right/your left and takes off- it's going to fly around while the rider does a lightning bolt, then a swoop attack, then land. It's always the same direction, speed, and distance, so just stand still manually track them with the camera, and only roll to dodge the attack. Once you figure out where the dragon lands, relative to you, you can sprint in and get some hits in. Dragon flies directly over you, with no warning- he's just repositioning a bit behind you. Turn around and sprint to get a hit in, although sometimes the rider will start an attack as soon as they land so watch out. But seriously though- stand in front of the dragon, and you should not have any camera difficulties at all.

I don't think there's a single frustrating boss in DS3, Wolnir comes close but doing his bracelets in a certain order makes the fight one of the easier ones. I can understorm Yhorm being a weird case, you get plenty of hints and the item is right there by the throne, but it isn't clear at all that you needed to hold down the weapon art for a few seconds before unleashing it. I understood the gist of it straight away because it's a direct throw-back to the storm king in Demon's Souls, but that one worked straight off basic attacks. I think I probably died once or twice before cottoning onto it.

turtlecrunch posted:Uploaded my second sorcery run for anyone still wondering about sorcery. I included my equip screen when I thought of it. Great video, wanted to try a sorcerer against better judgment but so many of the bosses seemed like they would be impossible without it, like champion gundam who seemed like a matter of "use fast melee or get hosed," so it's good to see you can win without it. Can't believe the ending of that sulyvahn fight with purple dickweed bodyblocking you twice. It worries me that you had 35 int by the third boss in the game though, I am just not good enough to sink every single level into two stats and ignore health. Did you use magic against all the normal enemies too or did you switch to non-FP consuming things there? Seems like you would have to use almost entirely blue estus for that to be sustainable. Any tips on what items to go for? You were doing fuckin insane damage with soul spear.

Apparently you can actually just fight Yhorm straight-up like a normal boss; if you hit his legs enough he'll fall over and you can whale on his head Adjudicator-style. I don't know if this is true or not though.

I fought him the other day and he definitely fell over. I think you have to actually be damaging his head with projectiles though and hacking at his legs does nothing. Also the special riposte you get on his head still didn't do enough damage for me to tolerate slinging spells, so I just used storm ruler anyways.

He's a straight up lovely boss who cannot be fought normally (unless you have the patience of a saint or a cheesy full Sorcery build). loving Old Iron King is a better fight than him, and I complained a lot about that fight back in the DS2 thread.

Neither, it's most like Demon's Souls. If you haven't played that one, I guess I'd call it a mix of the two with a hint of Bloodborne mixed in.
