Also speaking of the other one, did anybody else get jumped by the wolf boss in the starting area? I almost got him there, I wonder if it makes him not show up for the other fight

the (bonus boss talk) big wolf you run into in the first area, you can actually run into him twice. he will fade before you can deal lethal damage and offer large titanite, i think it's implied that it's the same alpha wolf.

but i wonder if you kill the bonus boss before running into that in the field, if they won't show up?

I made a new dex character for the DLC named Hame and it took me three hours to get passed the high wall :fail:

I beat the boss before fully exploring the field and haven't encountered it so maybe?

When I first arrived to the field I said gently caress this and ran through everything until I reached the next bonfire.

It's not nice to patronize a failtard. But it probably does suck to be overly good at these games like I thought I was. Turns out that's just how it is for a DS3 strength build? I was disappointed by how easy everything was with my first character (strength knight, didn't even change weapons) but man it's actually really hard now

The second phase arrows suck for sure, they seemed unavoidable at first but you'll get the hang of it

I woke up ready to game & vanquish the last 3 bosses of my solo only playthrough but instead I got a dark house and a door hanger that says "sorry you electric will experience a short service disruption between the hours of 9 am and 6 pm". It's been off for four hours 😑

In playing a pyromancer Refined build guy and it's cool that pyromancy is int/FTH because I get to use all the good miracles with my good pyromancy spells, like the one that silences casting and some weapon skills and actually works in PVE unlike DS2

Weird. Same thing happened to me last time I played except I got owned repeatedly by both of them.

I love darknsouls because even with years of muscle memory I sometimes make it clear past sen's without dying, and other times i die six times to Taurus. Most playthroughs I go the other way though because it's more scenic than the burg

I know we've all reminisced on this forever but I really miss being able to just take a totally different path through the game
Right from the beginning in the sequels. I mean I know you can kill dancer early but it's hard as balls and you're still gated because you cant open the door to the princes until everyone else is dead. But they did that with the lords in 1 too so
