Victory Position posted:have you found the Old Wolf of Farron? if not, check the giant tower in the middle of Farron Keep swamp and look around the bridge above the tower for a bit; you'll find Lightning Spear there, along with an old friend. A Stray Demon!! Is that the place where you can see a crystal lizard behind a locked door? I keep meaning to go back there.

Is there any chance I could get someone here to drop a Wolf Knight armor set for me? I'm doing a fashion souls run, and don't really want to wait for the bloody endgame to have my armour

Though at SL 120 and a +5 moonlight greatsword i should be able to plow through it easy enough. Okay, worst enemies in the game, the hand monsters in the Profaned Capital, the blood licker like women, or the crabs?

If it doesn't prompt you automatically then you need to learn the Darkmoon Loyalty gesture from Sirris, after you turn in Dreamchaser's Ashes.

I got on my sl 100 pyro. He looks like he's made of beef jerky, or maybe wet cigars. He wears a dress and has a stick. He shoots gooey black blobs without pause. Sometimes he waves a sword or baby rattle around. This guy is the lord of londor? gently caress.

Also the Pus of Humanity but made out of maggots is pretty brutal too, though once I found out that fire fucks them up, they became slightly less scary. I do like when you hit someone with fire they do a little wiggle while they're on fire. I ended up just running through most of the Dreg Heap, it wouldn't be so insane if there wasn't those Angels shooting at you constantly. Even if you manage to shoot one down I found that they just respawn I saw. I think I ran until the sexy lady pryo from DS2 was there. Though at one point I just randomly died from being cursed. There wasn't a curse meter moving up or anything, just suddenly, bam! Cursed! I feel like I missed something in the grand archives. I could have sworn i saw a giant cage in videos, but I went everywhere and didn't find anything. Also is the wax thing just a neat trick, or does it actually do something?

If you see little sparkly bits pop up around you, run. It is quite dangerous if your armor is not good for curse resist. The Archive cage is all the way at the top, near the triple winged knight battle.

In November of 2018 I started playing the souls games for the first time. I started with Dark Souls Remastered and then Demons Souls, played through Dark Souls 2 and then Bloodborne. Just finished that last night and I’ve begun Dark Souls 3. Fuuuuuuuuck the tutorial boss. Seriously. Fuuuuuuck. I’m not bad at these games. Aside from the bullshit “get everything” trophies I’ve practically platinumed bloodborne and I have always gone through all of the bosses. I’m not great at parrying but I can do it sometimes. I play with a somewhat aggressive style of light armor and a giant sword in both hands without a shield and do pretty well but holy poo poo this guy seems impossible and makes me feel like a complete noob the way the asylum demon did in Dark Souls. I did beat him before bed last night so this is just venting but it took me an hour and 6 minutes from game-start to lighting his bonfire (I was practicing parrying against the dudes in the tutorial area for a while but didn’t end up having much success with it on the boss so part of that time was spent doing that) which is longer than it took me to beat gascgoine and the asylum demon combined (the two most challenging bosses for me in the series) I mean, part of the problem is probably my starting class, I picked “Assassin” since it was a good base to work from with my play style even though the starting equipment doesn’t match my style. Even though it sounds like I’m complaining a lot I’m really looking forward to the rest of the game so in NG+ I can come wipe my rear end with this noob ganking dickhead.

The trigger is actually offering a Pale Tongue to Rosaria for gaining rank in the covenant. You can join, invade as a finger, respec and change appearance no problem. And alt-f4-ing out after respec (and it saved, lil flame) but before closing the menu still retains your tongue + amount of respecs left. Just don't offer a tongue for rank before finishing Sirris line.

You don't even have to roll most of the time, just strafe counter-clockwise and his halberd will go right over your head. Second phase can be tough but the hardest part is just figuring out where the hurtbox is. You can still just strafe around him and roll or move away when he does the jump.

It took me more than 30 tries, but i finally managed to beat Dancer again on my lvl 28/+3 invader type guy. Had to reallocate to 20 int for chaos bed vestige so i could pelt the fucker in his combo wombo phase but it worked. The swamp is still filled with all sorts of ganksquads, shrek cosplayers, naked duelists, friendly madmen and swamp police. Good times.

Yeah I could manage to get to the second phase without getting hit by just going counter clockwise and poking him when he slowed down but that second phase was hard because when an enemy gets a giant growth like that the instinct is to jump back and go “whoa get that poo poo away from me” and jumping away from it was the problem. I finally beat him by just staying in there, dodging wildly and doing a bunch of small pokes. I forgot I had firebombs but I guess the plus side of that is that I have some firebombs now. I hate this weapon and can’t wait until I have an ultra great sword again.

It's rougher than DS swamp cause it's got a decent number of scary enemies. The feral ghru with the jump grab are the worst. The DS swamp just has the dung boulder guys, the slugs, the fire breathing bug things and the mosquitoes. None of them very scary. Also a lot easier to see where you're going. DS3 swamp seems bigger and has a lot more going on.

ds3 swamp is rougher because you have to hit the 3 torch locations and the layout is more ambiguous+your sight is more obstructed by all the terrain

War Wizard posted:Oh that's smart. I kept waiting to find the rusty iron ring, only for it to no-show. The dagger WA has the fastest start up and recovery. The trick to the swamp is to follow the fires placed around the map. Also everything is weak to fire and can be kited into the flames.
