you can parry the basic attack it does with its right claw.... then riposte it in its weak point for massive damage

When the crabs are reeling back to do their double claw slam you can just riposte them for free.

I dont think I ever personally killed a Farrons Keep crab I just let the friendly giant throw javelins at tbem for massive damage.

on my first ng it probably took me 20 to 25 tries to beat NK.

on the ng+ of that character I beat him on my second try... and both the phantoms I summoned had died in the first phase. I felt like a god

both times I used the storm ruler. it's thematically appropriate I think

A wolf howls.
I know how he feels.
i got good enough at nameless king on ng+ to where i only need 4 estus for the fight. with gundyr i went through 9.

i like gundyr's form 2. it's the least spectacular of the boss form changes, but the speed at which he chains combos together really makes you sit up and pay attention to a fight that was initially a retread of the tutorial.

those ice guys and the tall goatmen are actually the hardest bosses in dark souls 3. i can get nameless down in a try or two now but those stupid things still murder me

he kicked my rear end repeatedly on my first go through the game but i killed him in one shot on my second playthrough

good gamer feels

also i figured out why that katana guy near the start is so hard..he has infinite stamina. he just swings and does weapon arts all day. i mean you can trounce him cause hes a dumb npc but its pretty lovely to deal with when youre a newbie lmao

Even after playing all the other souls games I'm still basically a dumb newbie but the one thing most difficult NPC fights in the series have in common is that if you attempt them enough the enemy will eventually fall off of a cliff and die without any input from you whatsoever. Basically the only truly hard one in the entire series is the dude in the chapel at the end of Eileen's questline in Bloodborne and that's only because he has the good sense to not fight you anywhere near a cliff

except he's not really because he has a very very easily abusable leash. you can just pelt him with poison knives from the doorway while he walks back and forth
