Game bought and preloading.... I guess maybe I should actually watch the trailers for this game for the first time while I'm waiting!

It comes out in a couple of hours but I can't play it for a few hours yet. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to anybody in the entire history of the world

Just got out of the High Wall of Lothric, man this game is pretty and runs smooth as silk. That thing on the roof though that flies into a giant tantrum.....

Good goddamn I was not expecting heavy artillery to start firing on me in Undead Settlement, though it was fun to round up a bunch of undead and get them to chase me into the path of all that destruction

ultrachrist posted:First time I saw that uchigata guy, I hosed him up with fireballs but he got a lucky hit in and we killed eachother at the same time. Then on the way back to get my souls (hadn't spent any since killing that first boss), I got cornered by the joke easy hollow enemies and rolled off the side to my death. Shows how good I am at this game. I can't remember the first time I read it, and I know it's probably been said a million times before and since, but the line,"Dark Souls: The Real Enemy is Hubris" is so, so accurate

Dammit, hit a crash in the exact same spot several times in a row. Hopefully if I leave the game for awhile it'll resolve. It's at the bonfire after Crystal Sage, going up the stairs and fighting those two enemies. I was doing quite well against them but every time I got them down to about half health my game crashes and I get a "Dark Souls III has stopped working" message

Man I've hit a wall on Pontiff, will have to take a rest and come back to it later because I was getting frustrated and making mistakes. Every time I thought I had him I'd gently caress up or get caught in a corner or something stupid. Thought the fight was going to be easy through the first half, then when things changed up I figured it was just a matter or prioritizing, but I was too conservative and let him summon another mirror-image after killing the first and I just got overwhelmed. This is probably the toughest fight I've experienced so far in the game.

Azran posted:It's a shame not many people let the boss live long enough to allow it to use its cool, coordinated special attack. It's quite the spectacle! Is that when they form the giant growing death cloud over their heads? I think that happened on my second attempt and after that I made a point of burning them down as fast as possible.

Just before the Aldrich Boss Fight, I immediately and eagerly turned left at the top of the stairs leading into the building with the fog gate and (prior game reference) the Giant Blacksmith is dead I don't know why I was surprised, but that was kinda depressing

Well fine here's a super-cool weapon that could gently caress me up, that''ll show you! There's no way this will come back to bite me in the rear end down the road!"

BillmasterCozb posted:Isn't that the point, though? He's showing the humans that if they don't want him around, they can just murder the hell out of him I read it as him thinking that he was always going to be the noble good guy/hero and this was more a,"gently caress you for being prejudiced" thing. Only enough time passed/the world got hosed enough that he abandoned his throne. Basically, just like with all players, hubris was his ultimate downfall. Pillars of Eternity 2 looking good!

NESguerilla posted:Any tip for Aldrich? This guy is wrecking me. I wouldn't mind some advice either, got stuck there last night and decided to take a break rather than bashing my head against the wall. I can handle the first phase fine, it's just a matter of staying close enough so she uses melee instead of homing/ranged attacks, and the arrow storm can be avoided by standing in front of her and then rolling behind after she's opened fire since they spread out forward in the direction you were standing when she opened fire. But in the second phase I'm really struggling because if I stay too close I get hit by her flames, but if I keep my distance she opens up with ranged attacks again that I really struggle to avoid.

Two straight hours of getting Dancer down to within a couple of hits only for something to go horribly wrong (sometimes my fault, sometimes a geometry glitch, sometimes SOME BULLSHIT  ) and finally I had to throw in the towel to get some sleep.I just want to move on past her  voltcatfish posted:Well they still hasn't changed how the chain is positioned so it'll never fool me I just always hit a chest before trying to open it.

Mortimer posted:Summon On a first playthrough it's beat them myself or nothing. It's stubborn I know, but I'd feel like I haven't actually beaten them otherwise. Anyway, I know what needs to be done, I can get close enough to smell victory, it's just a matter or time and a little bit of luck and I'll be moving past her. Every single Souls game, there is always one boss that is like a brick wall for me and I'll spend 2-3 days just getting hammered till finally putting them down and after that everything else is smooth sailing (I hope!).

Lotish posted:Get to Wolnir (the boss) then break the bridge from his side and climb down. Important thing to note is that between the player dying and respawning, the skeletons apparently repair the bridge. As I found out when I ran back there to avoid being shelled by artillery only to discover my "ladder" back up was gone.

Samfucius posted:Ugh, I get the wink wink with the archers and the narrow walkways, but they aren't any fun. Is it viable just to run past them? They were fun in the first one when I played BK halberd and a giant gently caress-off shield, but my current build doesn't really do that. If I could summon help without getting the poo poo kicked out of my by the defending covenant it would be okay, but I am apparently trash in PVP. If you can get past them once, there's an archway that leads to a gate on the same level as those fireball casting deacons above the sleeping giants, you can use that as a shortcut from that point on (or you know, just bonfire teleport).

I moved past the Untended Graves boss and explored a little further, spoke to the person there and then went back to Firelink Shrine and chatted with Ludleth. Sooooo, in Dark Souls 1 & 2 poo poo was hosed. In this game, poo poo is TURBO-hosed

kater posted:I unno, that zone seems so hamfisted that it doesn't really deserve to fit anywhere. Like it is a cool concept but why on earth is it connected to anything. If I'm understanding what happened properly, that shrine was the one from Ludleth's world, and when the chosen Undead didn't rise (presumably that's the body the harpies are hanging around, it's the equivalent to where you first rose from the dead) and the bonfires weren't linked, Ludleth "willed" a new pocket reality to be formed where the linking could happen? If that's right, then I'm presuming Untended Graves is where it is because it's the point where Ludleth entered the game world after willing it into existence? I might be getting that all wrong, but based on what he told me, and what the person at the end of UG said, and the Firekeeper's "vision", that's how I took things to be. Which makes the world even more hosed up than I thought.

Question regarding what happens after the Boss at the end of Lothric Castle: I defeated him and got the Cinders of a Lord from him, and I assumed the King Lothric throne in Firelink Shrine would be where I put it (despite him only being a Prince?), but I don't seem to be getting an option to interact with it - am I missing something incredibly obvious?

Shoenin posted:the option to put it should be somewhere in front of the chair, underneath its platform or something. Your Computer posted:Placing them can be a bit finicky, try standing a little bit away. Thanks, will try again next time I play. I'm assuming that opens up the end of the game so I'll explore around a little bit more. From what I've picked up even while trying to avoid spoilers, I think there are a couple of optional areas I haven't gotten to yet.

cheetah7071 posted:Nameless King being a stumbling block I'm not really surprised by, but I'm astonished people are saying Champion Gundyr is a wall. I killed him in like 4-5 tries Only issue I really had with Champion was his second phase where he didn't really allow any time between combos. Once I had his timing down though it was pretty straightforward, just a matter or getting myself into position to hit him when he trapped in a combo pointed in the wrong direction. I had trouble with Aldrich and then really hit the wall with Dancer, once I was past her even on the bosses I needed multiple attempts at I didn't feel frustrated - it was fairly obvious what I was doing wrong/what I needed to do to beat them. With Dancer, I think it was the odd combination of her relatively slow movement being followed by super-fast and huge attacks that really screwed me over - I really struggled to get a sense of the timing I needed to avoid her attacks. Kinda odd that she was so much more difficult than the final Lothric Castle Boss, who moves so much faster but feels easier to read/avoid than she did. To me at least. I made it to the Flame of the First Kiln but left to explore the AD Peak, I understand the final Boss there is supposed to be super-hard, so it'll be interesting to see how I do. After that, I think I've done all the areas, so it'll be time for the Final Boss and an end to this run, though I wouldn't mind either NG+ or starting a new character to see if I can properly do the NPC stories (I never meet a third of them I don't think, and others either died or I never followed up enough on their personal quests for them to ever say anything new).

Oh God Nameless King is going to be the death of me. It's so frustrating getting through the first part of the fight only to be insta-killed and have to do the whole thing all over again. It's bringing back long repressed memories of Ornstein and Smough.
