To this day I am kind of shocked they didn't tie some special weapon drop to not using the gimmick.

He’s cake if you did Sieg’s storyline but I guess it’s easy to miss it all

Sieg in the well is one of the silliest NPC interactions in a series infamous for silly NPC interactions. Let’s put a guy into a well for no reason that is explained, make sure it’s a well that you can’t actually get into yourself, put the well a bit off the main path through the area so you’d never know he was there unless you felt like poking around a well for some reason, and he only shows up once you have opened the shortcuts that mean you no longer need to take the path that he’s near. It’s bonkers.

He piles up the armor and climbs up on top of it. Obviously.

I always figured that the bottom of the cathedral well looks like the area under the well in Painted World (the original), aka a vast labyrinth of SKELETONS WHEEL, SKELETONS DEAL (a bunch of damage). To make his epic escape, Siegward needs his armor!

I was really interested in Siegward's quest on my first playthrough and the well part almost hosed me up. I found him in the well, but I couldn't figure out how to get Patches to show up in the cathedral. I think I might have talked to Rosaria too early? gently caress if I know. It was one of the few things I googled my first time because I wanted to try and salvage it. Luckily I found out I could get the Tower key and have Patches show up there and buy the armor off him.

Today I learned the Silvercat ring will only protect you from so much fall damage. That big ladder in profaned capital? I'll just jump down, it's way faster! (You died)

(You died) Pretty sure it was like that in the other games wrt Fall Control, etc. If it's at or above "Prism Stone makes a screaming noise" it will always kill you.

Iirc it's when you open the last shortcut, the big doors near the way to rosaria, that either patches shows up or Siegward is in the well, or both i forgot.

those loving rock lizards in Archdragon Peak are possibly the most annoying enemies I've come across recently. Their attack hit boxes are screwy as gently caress and their rolling attack is ridiculously homing and hard to roll past. What the gently caress

Pyromancy is now 100% my favorite playstyle. The bottom room in Irithyll dungeon with the 6 wardens? You can go bowling for jailers with Chaos Bed Vestiges. I'm gonna have to Blue Cop it up to get that ring with the extra 2 spell slots. I must have more pyromancies.

Amppelix posted:If you literally cannot think of any use cases for the actually incredibly powerful ability of dealing damage (or causing a variety of other effects in the case of spells) at a significant range, well, I don't know what to tell you. The damage numbers don't have to be very good for this ability to immediately break many an encounter design, and it does. Another reason magic doesn't feel as good in this game compared to previous ones is FROM has slowly been getting wise to how ranged attacks break their games and there's less immediately and easily exploitable situations in DS3 than in 1 and 2. All you need for a bow to do the same stuff is a couple titanites and some arrows, vs building specifically for magic slots/damage and giving up estus and having to deal with mana and knowing where all the good spells are

I wouldn't run magic of any kind for your first run if you're going blind. You need to know what you're headed for.

Sellsword twinblades. L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 L1 Follower saber. The skill isn't as good as it used to be but still fun. Lucerne. Everyone always forgets this weapon is in this game, but you can get it quite early. Corvian great scythe. Bleeds you and enemies, pierces shields. Friede's scythes. Needs a little bit of INT and FTH to work but looks badass. Don't forget to make everything sharp.
