Assuming that the Queen of Lothric is Gwynevere, a friend of mine has put forward the theory that Oceiros is Flann, the god of flame mentioned in DS1. What do you think?

Personally, the idea had never even crossed my mind. Yes, in DS1 the famous description states that Gwynevere and Flann fled the City of the Gods and fathered many children. But for some reason I’d always believed that Oceiros was a human king and that Gwynevere had married him to gain some influence, given that the gods are, for the most part, fallen or forgotten in the plot of DS3.

I lost 80,000 souls I grinded so hard...

I am utterly speechless, shocked and filled with anger...I spent so long grinding thag much souls just so that I can progress yet...I lost em...

I felt an emotion that went beyond anger. I didnt said anything, I just sat there and watched the screen in pure internal agony.

What am I supposed to do now?

Having a hard time getting used to the normal mobs' aggression

Started playing this after "beating" Dark Souls 2 (didn't touch the DLCs yet) and I also beat or made it to Gwyn in DS1 like 9 times already and honestly having a really hard time adapting to how aggressive some enemies are, I know I'm not very good but I can persevere given enough time, it's just things like the enemy in the video being so relentless, leaving so little openings for so little time to punish that I'm just stuck there circling around it wondering "is it gonna be my turn yet?" against just one guy.

The other enemy I had issue with is the hollows that turn into a resident evil final boss, I know I can kill them before they morph but once they do they take up so much screen real state and it's impossible for me to tell apart what the hell is part of their idle animation while aggroed and what's an actual attack because they're so huge.

I already beat the boss at the high wall, took 4 attempts but in all of those I just ran to the boss ignoring as many mobs as I could, so I didn't really get to explore the level much, which kinda soured my experience of it.

This spot had marked my grave. Forever, I thought I'd never leave here

This boss put me on multi-month long hiatus from the game. Last time that happened to me was Bloodborne's Amygdala and I came back to beat it easily.

This boss I came back and beat, but not easily. Oh my god, I've never seen the death screen on a boss more and mouth the words "you fuckin bitch" and just face palm myself. I felt like I could do this horrible short run back with my eyes closed though I never actually attempted it.

Now I can finally continue the game and the DLC hopefully and then I can finally play Elden Ring.

And now Sword Saint Isshin is the only boss I'm still on hiatus. Ahhhh.

Is Online basically dead? Feels like I'm never able to interact with other players beyond messages and Ghosts.

Can't seem to find any online activity at all. I still get Signs and those Ghost guys walking around, but I feel as though I'm very rarely invaded or being summoned through a covenant, and I've had absolutely no luck with trying to invade too. Currently about SL90 and in the Lothric Castle area. Is it just that most people are hovering around the Meta SL and I'm outside of that range, or is the game just dead for Vanilla Online?

Just got around to playing the Convergence mod last week. 50ish hours in and nearly 3 playthroughs complete and it basically fixes nearly all my issues with DS3

To make this not too long winded I have to say that this mod is INCREDIBLE and if you've never played it I definitely urge you to try it. It does have some issues but honestly it turned my 2nd least favorite souls game into my 3rd favorite easily.

Anyone else really like the mod? If not why?

I finally did it after 50 tries

https://preview.redd.it/olik7ns5zuth1.png?width=1812&format=png&auto=webp&s=4314637fea4b4c99e85bc3332afa134ff24cd830

I listened and just practiced his moves, lure the red one to 1v1 each other, and roll most of the flame swings. One thing I think helped was the 29.4% weight for better rolls.

Stage 1

  1. once you enter he will most likely dash at you, roll sideway and run to him for 2-3 attacks, then jump away. (works 80%)
  2. run in circles until the red-eye wakes up. He will help you.
  3. try to get into 1v1 with the other lower health watcher (enemy). And hope that red-eye wakes up near the real boss so they fight each other. You can also rinse the process to adjust red-eye's position.
  4. stay near the lower health watcher and kill him instantly right after he wakes up. If unfortunately they all lock on to you, repeat step 2.
  5. wait until boss is lower health to sneak in right after his move set for kill steal OR repeat 2-4 until red-eye kills boss

Stage 2 (finally a proper 1v1)

The key is to study his moves so you know how to dodge the flames, and when is the final move of the set. After dodging the final move, you should be able to hit 1-2 times. After hitting him, jump away. Repeat.

The desired move set is the dash because it's easier to roll away and land 2 attacks.

My New Theory

The Darksign Sun and The Darksign. I almost thought my game was glitched when I entered Lothric Castle for the first time and saw that in the sky.

As we know, The Darksign brands humans and ties them to the life of The First Flame, creating the undead curse/fire linking curse. Its what makes us lose all souls upon death and rise again at the last bonfire we rested at.

And I've been wondering... What if The Darksign forming around the sun in Dark Souls III is part of the curse trying to keep the world from totally unravelling by literally BRANDING THE SUN to make sure it (a symbol of the gods) stays there and does not totally fade away being that by this point the world desperately even actively CRAVES The First Flame to fade out and be replaced with Dark but the curse won't allow that. And if The Age Of Dark finally came, the sun of the gods would no longer be needed and the Darksign is trying to keep it in the sky almost like its constantly reviving it.

This idea is poorly explained, gimme a break if it sucks, its nearly 5:30 in the morning where I live. Just think about it. Even if I'm wrong, it sounds cool as fuck.
