ive decided that dark souls is meant to be played without a shield and shields are easy baby mode

It's also reminding me of the mildly annoying ds3 design where the bosses don't get fun until the challenging third phase and you have to do the opening stuff a bunch

if you just pwn the big guy she stops fighting to heal and you can down it all in a few hits at least that's how I've been doing it

yeahhhh but sometimes she'll get 'caught' in his hitbox and stick around him so now you can't fight the fucker cause she's right next to him doing her scythe dances

normally it doesn't happen but when it does you waste precious estus b4 the really hard part lol

its really easy to mess up on the first phase too. she fakes you out, or does some really quick jab attacks that hit like a truck, and you're wasting estus. its a really great fight, feels good to totally trounce her on phase 1+2 and come into phase 3 with near full health and pots

Yeah now I said that and keep dying on phase 2 :sweatdrop:

If it's not dying to a boss its dying because I was stepping away from an enemy off a cliff

so sum1 spoil it for me..whats with all the red gunk and bugs/half dead birds?

it's mold growing on the canvas the world is painted on. the npcs are being literal when they're talking about "rot." the painting is rotting, like, actually. its not like i asked someone with authority and got a definitive answer on it but it's what makes the most sense to me.

I like to aggro all of the wolves and then hide behind a tree three feet from the cliff edge and then watch as they just suicide charge into the icy beyond

put in a few more attempts on the main dlc boss. i can get to phase three without a problem, and i think i have it figured out in terms of how to beat her. i've gotten her down to her last quarter of lifebar, but then gently caress it up by retreating too much. she's really good at punishing distance. reminds me a lot of false king allant, actually.

Has anybody gotten any "honor" from the matchmaking system? I played a handful of 1 on 1s but it still just had dashes. Is there a ranking system in place? That's pretty cool
