Huh. Katanaman pushed me off the ledge, he followed, and when I got back there I could just pick up his hanzo steel.

The Lothric knights aren't so bad anymore once you fight them in the courtyard. The sword ones can get stun locked to hell and the spear guys take a bit to retract their weapons after a thrust.

Though the Blue Guy...

Can you get a spear from lothric knights? I've gotten 3 swords but none of the spear guys have dropped their weapon.

You can get it off the regular undead guys with the spears and tall shields.

So the "drop 'em down the elevator shaft" approach actually does work with the ice rear end in a top hat. I sent the lift up and we just circled the hole until he lunged and fell, presumably making the Goofy sound.

Fun factz: when boosting your item find chance with stuff like coins and the Mimic helm, you don't need to personally kill things for items to drop. Wait at the Abyss Watcher bonfire with your chance-boosting gear on, crush a coin every now and then, and let the Darkwraiths kill the weird satyr assholes. Kill them and go out and collect what dropped. Got like 10 Wolfbro sigils in like a forty-five minutes.

Spoiler questions for Yhorm lore.

So what kind of "giant" is he anyways? Like a Giant with a capital G that is one of them from Dark Souls 2 or just a giant in terms of being really, really big? During the cinematic when he stands up he clearly has a face and not a hole or crazy monster face like the one in the memory either. Also apparently he was a total bro with the onionbro in this game and even gave him a Stormruler to put him down incase he went hollow :smith:

Yhorm is a tragic dude. Just wanted to rule his dilapidated shithole in peace...

Being a faithful follower of Saint Aldrich of the Deep, May He Eat Forever is surprisingly fun.

Had a really great 1-on-1 with a katana guy where we ended up fighting on the moving staircase to Anor Londo. We were doing flips and random dive attacks and poo poo, and constantly moving the stairs up and down for the free I-frames. Then he died when I kicked him off the bridge part mid-move. A worthy foe.

For being the root of so much awful poo poo, the Pontiff doesn't really get much buildup as a boss. You could easily go through the game without ever noticing just how important he is.

There's something special in how you look back and realize that 90% of the things you've been fighting up to Irithyl are his fault.

The mental images of how the gently caress he got Aldrich out of the cathedral get pretty lol tho.

I don't know if you meant the big weapon exile bros or Heysel and Hodrick, but either pair makes sense.

The NPCs in DS3 don't actually have to follow all the same rules as player characters, and Hodrick's super aggro AI makes that very obvious. Between the huge damage, bleed weapon, self healing, massively inflated health, power within, and NPC animation canceling into a parry, he's easily the hardest NPC invader in the series.

I died like four times fighting Hodrick in Sirris's questline because his riposte is an insta-kill.
