Dark Souls 3

Damn grats on Sister Freia thats a tough fight.

I like the Endurance fights in a way... but that fight in particular feels very frustrating every time i fail in phase 3. In theory the first two phases are not very hard, in reality i always wind up burning a chunk of estus in them. Maybe it's just rust but it definitely feels like except on the first DLC boss the really varied around with the timings on the bosses in the xpacs.

That and the bosses in the other DLC are the only Soulsborne ones I've never killed so I'm sure I'll get to it but i haven't been able to put in that long session i need to first relearn the reflexes/fights then execute them correctly.

So I have beaten Dark Souls 3 twice and Ariandel once. I started the Ringed City DLC which seems cool but I have read is very hard. Is it worth slamming my face through soloing this expansion? Im about ready for a break or another game.

Imo, try it at least until you get the twin demo fight. See how you feel about that one.
If its too frustrating perhaps put DS on shelf for a while.


Give the Surge a try if you want a DS like game that's not DS.

Its actually surprisingly good.

Note about the Surge... all the bosses drop a weapon, they also drop a slightly better version of the weapon if you kill them with in a specific way or with a specific requirement. That was annoying to find out 4 bosses in.

Edit: Not a massive difference, both versions are perfectly viable, I'm just an annoying perfectionist.

I put a thread up about it a few days ago.

it's def got some very good parts. But it's partly ruined by the whole "your a guy fighting a factory, probably it went haywire or something" If bashing industrial robots has always been a fantasy of yours i imagine you'll love it. Otherwise i just play it for the combat.


I did not know that thing about the bosses. I just beat the big sister and now I'm wondering if i got the "good boss weapons" I did use the first bosses big blade thing for a while until finding another gigantic piece of metal to use.

The better versions all have the same name with a 2.0 on the end.

That thing is insane.

If I have 1 - 2 levels worth of souls and I think I'm still a ways from a bonfire I often go back. Or if I have a pile of souls and no more Estus.

Midir's not really that bad, just a ton of HP on him(go in with Gold Pine Resin's/Lightning Spells too his face, for the final kill shot hah)

Easily cheeseable boss too, if you just wanna get the fight done and over with

Loved Bloodborne, never played a DS game before but I've been playing DS3 for a few days. Thought for sure I was dead on this one:



Loving it so far.
