DrNutt posted:Do you have a bow and arrow? It's tedious as gently caress but the only way I was able to take down that second giant was by using a bow to pull all the sludge monsters away and kill them first. Once they're gone he goes down like a chump. The giant is like, really really bad at actually hitting you down there. I just go in a slowly pick off the slimes while avoiding his attacks (not by rolling, mind you, mostly just positioning correctly. Rolling the attacks is hard), and he does some of the work too. Plus, he doesn't actually even deal that much damage so if you do get hit you can just tank it.

I just run into the muck and he wakes up, splashes some in my direction while I run back to the area where Kirk invades. By the time he resets half the slime dudes are out of the muck and can be easily killed.

Ignore the slimes entirely imo, he will probably kill most of them himself with all his stomping and flailing around.

The slimes take shitloads of damage from fire you can just chuck a handful of firebombs and kill them without anything fancy.

You can, and it's better to, but I'm stubborn so instead of buying firebombs I just kill the giant while getting randomly stabbed by slimes

lmao if you don't at all times keep a full stock of (black) firebombs on your bar in the video game dark souls 3 Seriously, firebombs are absurdly useful in DS3, tons of things are weak to fire, and they do passable damage if you just want that.

This game owns. Got it in the humble bundle, it was so worth it. I love the style of this, I know it will sound stupid but DS2 seemed too colorful for me. This feels more at home. I'm going through the obligatory swamp level right now. Got invaded by someone, rolled and dodged a few times, got hit a few times and then the guy took out a zweihander and instead of dropping me instantly he gave me 2 embers and vanished. Weird.

This feels more at home. If someone is obviously new they get the occasional gift basket instead of brutal murder from invaders. I'll generally drop some handy consumables, maybe a weapon or two, then lead them to secrets and short cuts. Then I murder them.

gently caress me, I climbed up to a bell and went out onto the broken ledge, I was looking down at the monsters thinking heh wouldn't it be funny if I threw a fireball at one and they can't do anything back and all of a sudden a loving arrow comes out of nowhere and I was so lucky I didn't fall off. I almost had a heart attack.

mynameisbatman posted:Oh hey I killed one, that wasn't that hard but I spent half the fight somehow trying to reequip my sword because it unequipped somehow. The slow rolling in the sludge loving sucks. is it just me or does it drain your stamina a lot more? because I could barely attack or roll or do anything, my stamina was always bottomed out. Roll through the giants legs and post up on the stairs. The giant will reset and all the sludges march up the stairs so you can tag a few with firebombs to conserve ammo.

Yeah that's exactly what I ended up doing. I'm up on the rafters now and I just rolled off and died like an rear end in a top hat. Good times. AW YEAH DEACONS DOWN. GET PUNKED. That was the easiest fight I've had in the game but it was actually really cool mechanically. I enjoyed that. mynameisbatman fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Mar 10, 2018 |

A lot of DS3's boss difficulty swings around wildly based on your build Deacons and Crystal Sage are both generally thought of as the easiest bosses, because they get clowned on by fast r1 spam from longswords and the like which is what 90% of us do our first playthrough.

Now that I think of it gundir took me a few deaths but the rest I one shot, I'm pretty sure it's going to get a lot harder though. I'm sad though I see all these people on youtube with bigass swords and stuff and I wonder how long it will take me to get some. Even if I level up the strength to get them my equip load won't be high enough. Oh well.

There's a trade off for wielding big fuckoff weapons. You don't get to wear heavy armor without a big investment in equip load, so you wear light gear to roll. You can't get hit but you can roll. But you've got a big fuckoff weapon that can 1-2 hit anything but a boss. It all balances out.

Within the Swamp there's an enemy who drops a Twisted Soul, you can dramatically increase your equip load with an item from it. Also, a big fuckoff sword Cuchulain fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Mar 10, 2018 |

The "Greatsword" in the swamp, the spiked mace that the fat ladies drop, Vordt's Great Hammer, the Astora Greatsword in the Cathedral graveyard, and the axe that the big smashy dudes with cages on their back drop are all really solid early game choices.

If you want to keep your str/dex low and get tankier, talk to Andre about infusing your sword with a Raw gem. Raw rear end  is a good way to play the game the first time.

Raw rear end Also gently caress THESE loving TALL SKINNY WEIRD UGLY THINGS WITH CLAWS. It's the same mobs as by the fires in farrons keep but they have no weapons, just claws and they loving pogostick up into the air then keep grabbing my sorry rear end. It's like a loving child grabbing monster from someone's nightmares. and now there's some loving weird bigass things carrying treebranches like that god from the movie 'the ritual' and I definitely don't want to gently caress around with them. Please tell me if I kill them they won't respawn. That's my favorite type of enemy the ones who I know won't be back. it keeps shooting these loving red orbs at me though I almost killed it. I killed one and managed to start the cutscene for the third flame just before the second one smashed me in the face. I hope I never have to go back there. After dying 6 times this time I just ran past the second one and like I said, he smashed me after I got the cutscene. Also now I just walked into the abyss watchers fight by accident. I was like oh hey what the gently caress are these big doors? Oh great... I got him to 1/3rd of his life on stage 2 so I'm going to have a cigarette and I bet I'll kick his rear end. mynameisbatman fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Mar 10, 2018 |

Na man those loving trees keep respawning. Get firebombs and throw that at them until they die and roll behind them. If you have enough stamina you should be able to do a decent chunk of damage to them. At least I can with my Refined Lothric Knight Sword

I reckon for the place in the game you meet them these might be the most dangerous normal enemies in the game. I'd love to see a multiplayer feature in a souls game like the player deaths monument from DS2, except tracked for individual enemies.

How many alts do you guys typically play with by the way? I just made a warrior to mess around with, killed gundir first try and the lizard, (im not loving with the sword master tho), went to the high wall, rolled right past the fire breathing dragon, killed the lothric knight no problem and I'm balling my way through. Compared to my first few attempts at the game it's going a LOT better. This game teaches you how to be a complete baller through countless deaths. 10/10 totally worth it. I want to try a pyromancer because I'm having fun throwing fireballs with my knight. And this time on the warrior I'm not going to eat vordt's soul so I can actually get the hammer heh. EDIT: I just managed to get abyss walkers down. Goddamn this was a loving difficult fight. I had to really get used to being able to tell exactly where he was going to leave his fire so I could roll out of the way. I wonder what's next now.
