Is it safe to assume that this game has the hardest starter boss of all souls games (DS1-2-3)?

First time playing this game and I already died to this guy like 6 times to finally kill him. I never played Elden Ring or Sekiro yet but among the Dark Souls games neither Asylum Demon or The Last Giant felt this intense, it's really cool.

FIREY FISHAAA 🔥🗣️

Fun fact, there is a species of fish called an archerfish and it is exactly as it sounds. They have specialised spit in their mouth which allows them to attack land based insects/small prey, using their spit as projectiles after launching themselves out of water. Pretty damn cool and theyre my favourite fish now

The Sacred Symbol of Lothric

The Saint Bident and the Tower Shield of Lothric are both modeled after a sacred symbol. Do you have any idea of what it is supposed to represent? I at first thought that the shield was modeled after the bident, but after reading both descriptions, they are both products of the same thing. For now, the only sacred thing related to at least the spear is the angel faith of Gertrude, since wormfaces can cast a spectral version of the spear with feathers' effect around. But it wouldn't make sense to be based on angels since the Lothric knights fight against the angelic faith. Tho the symbo resembles a little two wings.

Velka?

I heard many people say that this statue is Velka. Can you tell me why this random statue is supposed to be Velka? How are people arriving at this conclusion?

Which maiden we all going for? Or your favourite game.

Your answer depends on your favourite game choice.

I recently finished all the 7 FS titles with bloodborne being the last.

Though it was very enjoyable lore,atmosphere,fast combat but the base games bosses felt very underwhelming except gascoine,BSB and gerhman.

DLC was peak tho

Still i love dark souls 3 with my whole heart(biased)

Atmosphere,lore,bosses,endings it got all

And Firekeeper is ultimate wife

Finished Slave Knight Gael Cosplay

I’ve worked on this cosplay for two straight months and handmade everything aside from the beard I trimmed myself. The chest lights up, and I forgot to put on the bandage wraps, but I still think it looks pretty great. This was my second cosplay and I wanted to dedicate it to one of my all time favorite games. Gaels boss battle was for sure one of the best in the series, had the pacing of the dancer with way more danger.

Aldrich true pacifist kill?

Yo Yo. I want to do a parry only run, and as far as i know, there is no way to parry aldrich (i will count parryable bosses without riposte animation allowed by doing a single r1 when hitting the parry). Is there a way to unload his arena and drop him to his death or something? since i really want to avoid using a summon to dont deal damage myself.

Any tips for Midir as an int mage?

Seems like this boss is a giant f you to us easy-mode mages and sorcerers.

I’m 60 INT, 9 FAI, 16 STR, 12 DEX. Now using a Raw Longsword 10+ but it still ain’t cutting it.

I was wrong.

Hello !
So yes, i was wrong about Dark Souls 3

See, i started my souls Journey on DS2 that i never finished, and somewhat around covid, i bought Dark Souls 3, and i started playing it. I love the lore, the OST, designs etc. But damn

I was always dreadful launching the game, and even more playing it, i went as far as the Abyss Watchers, uninstalled it. I really thought it was horrible zones upon horrible zones.

Then years later i started playing Dark Souls (The First game)
And i was in LOVE, so much so, i finished the game 6 times, in a row ! I didn't know how or why but it somehow clicked with me

I launched back DS3, lost my save and this time, went around Irithyll Dungeon (i could'nt find my way around Sullyvahn) and every time i progressed, i was frustrated by the game, i didn't know why Dark Souls 1 was so great and i was really angry on the third, so i closed it, uninstalled it again.

It brings me around 2 weeks ago, someone rekindled my Dark Souls flame
I had to take my revenge on the game

And now
Everything goes smoothly ?!
I play casually, around one or two hours a day, i nearly cleaned the base game, without any rage or feeling down

So i wanted to say that,
Sorry Dark Souls III
Sorry for the Dark Souls Community to have slandered the third game for my own bad experience

I got good, and it is nice

I was wrong, Dark Souls III really is awesome and a great game

It’s DS3 on PC in 2026. Ten years after release

And there’s still some dude just sitting in Pontiff waiting for invaders so he can insta destroy them with hacks.

And there’s a dude just playing with invulnerability hacks so if you invade, you can’t harm him.

I mean, for all the care I have to take with mods just to unlock FPS and not get banned, you would think FS could do something about this. Oh well!

Been playing through DS3 for the first time and so far I haven’t found any boss to be overly difficult or to take me more than a handful of tries…this guy though. This guy humbled me, HARD

had to learn how to parry specifically so I could beat him

Are you intended to progress through the Cathedral of the deep before battling the abyss watchers?

Ive seen many post asking about what doll do they need when reaching the boreal valley, I also fell victim. Finding the cathedral is not as straightforward as finding farron keep. I believe the road of sacrifices area was rushed / changed late into development so perhaps this is why many people have this issue on first play through. Back tracking that much just ruins progression up to that point and doesn’t seem intentional.

For the cathedral being such a large / necessary area youd think it have a much more grand or obvious entrance. Anyone else feel this way?

Took me a Year to complete this game.

I started playing it last year around June. And only now I've completed this game.

Ofc I toon several breaks in between. Also, the total playtime was around 48 hours (including DLC). Definitely VERY FUN and choatic game this has been.

Idk if I will go for NG+2. Should I?

First time playing dark souls 3

Hi guys, I've always wanted to try the original dark souls trilogy and I finally started ds3. My experience with soulslike includes me completing bloodborne and elden ring and I've used quality build for bloodborne and dex for elden ring. I wanted to go strength or quality for ds3 but I learned about pyromancy and then infusing weapons with lightning and dark magic and whatnot.

I'm still relatively new to all this and I don't understand stuff more than dodge roll hit dodge roll cycle yet.

So I'm down to any build ideas and suggestions. I want to experience something new, strength weapons are just too slow so I'm rocking uchigatana +2 as of now.

I really wanna try buffing and infusing different elements so please help me understand that aspect of this game better.

Thanks in advance.
