What is a dark souls 3 take you will die on. It doesn't have to be a hot take just a uncome take or just one most people would disagree with

For me its that the ember mechanic is the same thing as DeS and DS2 takeing health away from the player after death instead of a neat health bonus.

The reason for this is because un unemberd hp is drastically lower than all other soulsborne games with 99 vig being lower than 50 vit in ds1 and DeS (body form) and ds2 with 30 vig (slight variance depending on other stats). And how the difference in hp from ember to no ember is the same percentage as soulform and full hollowing with their respective reduced hp reduction

First time ever getting invaded and it as well expected

Context, even during Elden ring I barely did PvP and did more PvE to help randoms. So I knew In DS3 I would have to deal with PvP more, due to friendly invades are kinda dead on Xbox.

So this went exactly how I expected, okay I did expect a curse built not a similar build to mine. Also the first clip is really funny to me lol.

Got this done yesterday, excited to finish it out!

My original post got removed because I accidentally linked my artist's Instagram account in the comments but I am working on a Dark Souls 3/Dead Space sleeve. I have one more session to go, I cannot wait to show you all the final product. The artist is Authorofplagues, you can find him on Instagram.

I beat my first ever playthrough of DS3.

Game was amazing.

*Critiques

Coming from Elden Ring, and Sekiro. I feel like some parts of this game felt lazy with over scaling small enemies. Ringed city fire knights, extremely powerful. DLC 1 some parkour with enemies shooting explosion arrows, making you fall. I feel like this game had a lot of tight corners, with some dumb enemy knocking you off the map. Elden ring didn't have that. That's my only negative.

I did first try Soul of Cinder which was disappointing. I felt the boss's move sets were easy, predictable, kinda boring.

Best feeling after boss fight had to be Nameless King.

Overall game to me is 4 stars, if y'all have any critiques if the game is love to hear them, or what boss you thought was most fulfilling.

Anyone have any tips for nameless king?

Honestly in the first phase I'm fighting the camera more than I'm fighting the Dragon but I can manage to get past that with 10 flasks left but in the second phase his endless attack chains don't give me a single second to attack

Good old 2v1 from back in the day.

Just an old clip, enjoy incredibly mid gameplay :)

New player. Are the crabs the most normal enemy in the game?

I recently made it to Road of Sacrifices and was surprised to encounter very large but otherwise normal-looking crab enemies. Are these the most ordinary-looking enemies in the entire series?

The description in Hawkwood’s shield is annoyingly redundant

They could have left out either the first or second sentence in the paragraph, they’re almost identical.

EDIT: I know that this is a translation issue as many have stated, the original description is far cooler.

I took some "photos" during my last playthrough

These use the 'Color Clarity' Reshade and the last pic was edited to remove a HUD element.

Every time I make a new character nothing beats this feeling.

The last photo is just my character Crossbreed Ice Priscilla aura farming.

Who ever is doing Spear Of The Church right now, you're a legend

I was dreading having to do that busted arse fight again, but for the first time ever it actually summoned another player for me.

They just stood there and let me kill them so i could finish the fight and then move on. Absolute legend!

Soo, i wanted the 3+ rings early...

Below lvl 50 and with a 5+ normal weapon, i think i committed a little bit to much

Finally defeat Nameless King after “4 days” trying

He was the last boss I was missing apart from the dlcs that are really difficult.

It felt a satisfaction that I didn't feel since DS1 and I'm very proud. Now it's time to kill the dlc’s bosses 💀

How does Aldrich's slime work?

I recently beat dark souls 3 for the first time but I was really confused about Aldrich being a slime monster. The characters say he ate a bunch of people and he turned into slime. But in his fight he is clearly still normal looking and it seems more like he is just inside the slime instead of actually being the slime himself. And once you kill him the room is still full of slime which makes it seem like the slime is not actually a part of him. So what exactly is all the slime?

I love this boss fight so much.

This boss fight is so peak for me, His delayed attacks always caught me off guard and I can't seem to find the right timing to dodge his charging attacks... Also I'm currently playing my 2nd playthrough with the Profaned Greatsword, this weapon is going to be so OP with my quality build. Plus, fighting the bosses without summons feels pretty good, and this really lets you show how much you've improved from your last playthrough.

And I ragequitted the run right there... Has this happened to you before?

I wanted to get a sub 2 hour run today, but I skill issued on Wolnir and Yhorm today.
