Bed of Chaos but the arena is a swamp and there's an angel shooting at you while you're trying to make the jumps. After you finish the first two parts, they add a summoner in for the third. None of this is a boss by the way, and there's no bonfire until twenty minutes and two dozen enemies after the Bed of Chaos encounter.

Bed of Chaos but you have DIARRHEA and you have to pause every two minutes to go to the BATHROOM because of your DIARRHEA.

I'd rather fight a king-size bunk bed of chaos any day than to deal with the ruin sentinels ever again.

This stuff is subjective but I really feel like you probably don't know how to fight them if you think this. Do you jump down to the bottom floor right away? You get to 1v1 the first sentinel if you stay up on the platform

Just as an update I am really into the game now and enjoying myself. I'm basically running with a dex based sword and board build with the lothric knight sword and the crest shield. Just got through the cathedral (those 2 handed knights suuuuuuuuck) but I think I've already blown some NPC quest lines since apparently I was supposed to meet a guy but I never saw him anywhere.

When I say "miniboss enemy design" I mean they've designed regular enemies like minibosses and peppered them in everywhere. I'm talking about Lothric Knights, Ringed Knights, etc., etc.

They aren't really mini-bosses though. You largely avoid them, and then you learn to parry and they're all practically one hit ko's. I like having enemies you can sword fight peppered in.

Yea, you can gimmick them, but if you fight more than one, it's down to getting lucky with their attacks, because they can just decide to kill you.

I like having enemies you can sword fight peppered in. I dunno what to tell you, dude, they're overtuned enemies and they're very common throughout the game. It's not like the Black Knights from DS1, which show up I think three(?) times outside the endgame.

There's six Black Knights outside of the kiln. I don't think they're overtuned in Dark Souls 3 at all, it's very rare you fight the elite types of enemies in big groups, at least without being really careless with your positioning, there's definitely more of them than in 1, but 1 has less enemies and fewer enemy types in general and the encounters are far less challenging or interesting as a result.

^^ Poop run. No, they are definitely overtuned. They will kill you much faster, and easier than most enemies, until you learn to parry, or cheese them. That's what they are; on a meta level, most of DS 3 is a parrying tutorial. Babylon Astronaut fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Aug 31, 2020 |

I dunno I enjoy them. The only guys i remember giving me trouble are the Viking dudes with shields in painted world. They are so aggressive, fast, have huge reach and do a ton of damage. But i think there is like one you have to actually fight, the rest i just run past.

Babylon Astronaut posted:Oh I agree. But on a damage level? Sure. My point was that they aren't damage sponges, they are a chance to test your sword fighting skills. Personally, I've memorized the cestus parry timing from hundreds of hours of pvp. I was mentioning cheese strats, because there are 100s of gimmick builds that do not have to engage with the basic sword fighting mechanics. They also have a lot more health than the average enemy in a given area. That's why I say they're miniboss enemies, and they're just exhausting to fight against.

Someone a few pages back pointed out The Ringed City is all escalation, without the letups you usually get in a Souls game between harder segments, which I think is a fair observation. I found Ringed City exhausting too, I went with it because it is the grand finale for the entire franchise and it's only a handful of hours long but I could not play an entire game built like that.

If you're doing constant invasions, Holy poo poo is this true, because the central respawn criss crosses with people of all levels. Once you get past the stupid bullshit arrows thing, you're in a real pvp hotspot, for basically the rest of the dlc.

When it comes to parrying, can you parry any attack that can be parried with any shield? Are there stat requirements for certain level of enemy? I find myself back to my usual 2H powerhouse ways when I initially decided I would learn to parry this time around e: still gently caress those crabs.
