I’m almost to the fire giant a second time!

 

Did you kill the Death Bird?

 

I definitely killed one of them

 

I made it to level 12 and reached Margit and I feel like I shouldn’t be here yet

 

last night i was.... NOT having fun

 

Yeah, you are a LITTLE under leveled.

 

There are so many. When I was going for the collectibles there is one out in the middle of a sand pit in Lyndell. You get to the middle of the pit and the the ground starts rumbling: out pops another! I was lucky enough to grab the item and GTFO.

 

That NY Times article is ROUGH

 

why does putting an affinity on a weapon gotta lower the attack so much i'm just tryna get some fire damage but it's gonna lower the physical by like 40 points

 

I have that same feeling, I almost don’t want to adjust any. I did put on the extra bleed for Rennala though

 

i'm just really unsure of how exactly this stuff works. like, if i put this Ash of War Flaming Strike onto my weapon, the phys attack goes from 151->114 but it also will add Fire 114?
like, is it going to do BOTH 114 in phy damage AND fire damage? i am very dumb and it's just not getting through to me T_T

 

Idk how to parry at all

 

Once I busted out the farron keep greatsword he started clipping through my animations wayyyy more than with the sellsword blades lol, that’s def something I can already tell got improved with elden ring, it still happened every now and again but there was way less bosses completely whiffing me for no reason

 

also there seems to be a bit of a consistency problem with boss difficulty in DS3. (in the order ive done them so far), rotted greatwood was a joke, crystal sage was a joke, abyss watchers were tough as shit, deacons of the deep were a joke, wolnir was a joke, pontiff was tough as shit, yhorm was a joke. im on aldrich now and it seems pretty normal so far but ive only had two attempts and got pretty close both times.

 

Aldrich gave me a tough time but I beat abyss watchers first try, must have lucked out!

 

i think i was a bit underleveled when i reached the abyss watchers initially but even after buffing up it was far from easy, but i was definitely approaching it like an elden ring boss and not a ds3 boss which ive found are quite different for the most part in a lot of ways, not necessarily good or bad or better in one direction or the other, just different. ds3 bosses seem to require much more patience despite going into a pretty aggressive build. i did a very similar build in elden ring and was able to play much more offensively. like i could not have done pontiff without a shield, it just would not have been possible. i never used a shield at all in elden ring.

 

does anyone have any good dark souls parrying tutorials? i just cant get it and dont know which attacks can be parried or when to time it to parry it and the seemingly razor thin margin for error means if you mess up you get fucking wrecked

 

I would just google. There are TONS. I know ER didn’t need it but you should pick it up pretty quickly.

 

Wtf

 

I've played every one of these games and I'm still shit. I tend to just avoid it.

It's part of the reason I found Sekiro so hard because that's all about parrying and countering.

 

dancer of the boreal valley is gonna be an uphill battle for the next day ugh

 

Parrying is 50/50 for me. Although, if you can get good at it, it’s a game changer.

 

I do love cheesing bosses in the game

 

Sekiro’s party timing was easier for me than Dark Souls. I can do it successfully one out of maybe every hundred times I try but in Sekiro, I got pretty decent once I got the timing!
