With that I've seen seven out of 18 areas in the game. Feels like there's at least Bloodborne x2 worth of PvE time in there even if I think back a year to my first playthrough of BB.

New streamer starting out fresh as Assassin: https://www.twitch.tv/mtsuzuki8 unfortunately playing with the twitch chat bar streamed visible.

As toxic as the chats have been, sometimes people say randomly hilarious poo poo. "Hiroshima" at the dragon fire cracked me the gently caress up.

I just looked at Play-Asia just to see how much it would ring me if I decided to double dip and JESUS it's expensive. The 5000 yen card alone is like $70 :canada:

There's a tiny problem with that, and that's they all carry over the incredible weakness to parry/backstabs she has as well.

EDIT: Oh wow, this new dungeon... these catacombs seem shot for shot out of a Chalice dungeon, it's freaking me out. Love the Shotel using guys though, they're doing flips and throwing knives too.
Traps: there are GIANT BALLS OF SKELETONS rolling up and down hallways, and urns filled with bones that start releasing dark spells at you if you break them. Finally punishing those rolling instincts!

Okay do not buy from Solaris Japan holy gently caress. I ordered a 10k yen card and now they want me to verify that I'm a real person or some poo poo by sending a text to my phone number (the phone number I put in is a landline and my cell doesn't have texting abilities).

I have little faith that I will actually receive this code by the time the game drops.

Now that boss intro is Dark Souls as gently caress. It's the classic Miyazaki challenge. "Here is a glowy thing. You want it. You know it's a trap, and I know you're going to go for it anyway, and we both know you're about to die. Now: dance."

So, further details on that boss.
That seems to be Yohrm the Giant. You get to him by reaching an altar at the bottom of the catacomb, at which point you touch a chalice that drowns the area in darkness. You end in the WebM's location, which is the plain with an item on it, walls around the room, and a cliffside behind you. Yohl is constantly emitting an extremely damaging miasma from his body, so you need to attack his hands. Eventually one breaks, which causes him to move up and corner you against the wall, lest you die from the miasma. The second hand is positioned closer to his body and trickier as well, so you either need to damage it from a distance or dart in and out as quickly as possible, because the fog can kill you in 3 seconds tops.
As far as attacks go, he swipes with his arms, summons skeletons, breathes the fog around the area, and can summon a giant sword to wield in his right hand.


Also crazy rear end weapon moveset:

Highlord Wolnir as per the trophy name and icon. The trophes also seem to line boss names up in what could be a correct order going by these first six, the ultimate final boss likely being the final named boss trophy.

Sweet rear end weapon source is using the boss soul from the Deacons of The Deep.

This guy is currently in a swamp area that looks like a huge pain the rear end.

you get a curse or poison that slows your movement speed right down and these huge monsters are there that have high damage attacks and you're basically forced into mega slow fatroll the whole time

That was the webm I was trying to link before, my mine was more spoilery because it showed the weapon whether you clicked on it or not (through the preview).

Brainfart mistake, I went "oh right the cloth caster spam dudes are watching the abyss" mentally. That piece is indeed from the Abyss Watcher knights and a cool-rear end encounter. Wonder if they run the swamp zone ie zone 4 or if they're after the 7th?

Diving on loving in soon, I count on people helping out savescum trading poo poo with SNUGGLY and telling us if they find Covenants, 1v1 PvP and most importantly if they find Karmic Justice because that would have this game beat DS1

So the Xbone version has an English mode and the PS4 version doesn't? Or is the Xbone version literally just all in English because nobody cares enough about Xbox in Japan to warrant making a dedicated JP version?

Apparently it has to do with the Xbone's weird game licensing. There's more info about it on r/Darksouls3jpn if you're interested.
