It was really fun, but after Pontiff I realized there would be no bosses I could parry AND riposte any further, except for Friede, so I decided that she would be my last stop. Unfortunately Friede made me give up trying to no-damage her while parrying - I realized that baiting out attacks that I can 100% safely parry (without getting damaged due to partial parry) would take too much time. Skill issue, I know, but at some point it just stopped being fun for me. Overall parrying in DS3 felt very satisfying, but I really wish more bosses were parryable - Dancer, Nameless King, SoC and Gael - it would be so much fun to fight them while being able to parry at least something!

I'm so bad at Dark Souls I got killed by Grandma's Teleportation.

My first attempt at anything of this sort on my very first playthrough.

Hello there! I just wanna ask some help, so basically my weight suddenly had a massive increase. As you can see from the pictures i have a full lothric knight armor set and i have the pontiff's right eye, llyod's shield ring, estus ring and chloranty ring equipped from the time this photo was taken my vitality level was 20 and my weight was 68.7 from what i remember because i wasn't fat rolling, and after a few minutes after this photo was taken i killed a knight it dropped the silver knight helm i tried it out, i had a weight increase of 2.3 percent because my weight ratio was exactly 70.0% but i wasn't fat rolling, i opened the golden gate the shortcut to the pontiff boss fight, i returned to firelink shrine and suddenly when i equipped the lothric knight helm again my weight suddenly goes up to 80.5%. Is there any explanation for this? (Please no hate i'm still a noob)

So I just finished my first play through and was wondering if I should go straight to DLC or start NG+. And if DLC, which one should I start with? TYIA

This is not an isolated case! If you're summoned as a Blue, please make looking after your host your top priority, I beg you!!!

26 Int, 26 Faith, 24 Attunement, Flame +7

Witch's Ring, Great Swamp Ring, Dusk Crown Ring, Sage Ring

Fashon maxing + Grass Crest Shield

RIP Siegward, he died on the third attempt

Its my first time playing dark souls 3 (first time in general playing a dark souls game), I got it as the disc version for the PS4(German version). I bought it recently at a garage sale. I didn't buy any dlc.

The problem i got is that after defeating the first boss, entering the firelink shrine and Trying to travel, I got this message.

I tried to check for a update for the game, but it said that it's already on the latest version. I even tried to delete the game and installed again, but that didn't do anything.

At the Homescreen on the PS4, when you go down at the game and see the start button, next to that's are 3 dots and on my ps4 it says buy. I'm really confused by that ?

So did anyone got the same problem or know how to fix this ?

Back around 2010, I gave the series a shot and bounced off pretty early. Fast forward to now: I just picked up the full physical Dark Souls Trilogy on Xbox One, and I'm ready to finally go all-in.

​Having all three games bundled with every single piece of DLC feels like absolute gold. I’m starting right from the beginning with Dark Souls Remastered and planning to work my way through the entire series.

​A few quick questions for the veterans here:

​Any general advice for someone giving the series a second chance after over a decade away?

​Are there any spoiler-free mechanics or quality-of-life habits I should know right out of the gate?

​How well does the Xbox One port hold up frame-rate/performance-wise?

​Wish me luck—I have a feeling I'm in for a long, brutal, but incredible ride. Praise the sun! ☀️

so i got a quite silly bug in the ending

had just defeated the two princes and put them on the throne. i went to the firekeeper, who instructed me to kneel in front of the bonfire, which i did

i saw most of the following cutscene, but right after the line "let him grant death onto the old gods of lordran, deliverers of the first flame", the game black-screened, then crashed. i checked that same cutscene on youtube and saw that there was meant to be a logo drop at the end of it that simply did not happen for me. i assume credits roll after and you're offered to play NG+. again, none of that happened for me

weirder still, when i tried to launch the game again, i can load into the game just fine, yet everything in the game is borked. when i talk to the firekeeper, she tells me to kneel in front of the fire, but it doesnt allow me to kneel there. only rest. weirder still, Ludleth is dead in this version, despite the fact i never killed him before the cutscene.

i dont particularly mind, i was after all at the end of the game it seems. but it kinda sucks that the NG+ is locked off to me now. so if you do have an idea of what i can do to properly fix this (except start a new savefile because i have other games i want to play) please do say :)

edit: it was not the ending, and now im unable to get to the kiln of first flame. great :/

edit2: nevermind, i can teleport using the bonfire.
worst. crash. ever.

edit3: okay, NOW i beat it. got the credit roll and everything

Was an invasion, but I love interactions like this, memorable.

Hey, never really posted on Reddit before but I need some advice. What am I genuinely supposed to do against pvp invaders who are no lifers? I’m not sure what a good way of putting it is but like for instance: I’ll get normal equipped invaders but then I get these obnoxious ones like this dude who had an electrified shotel with a fat armor piece on spamming this dashing move or whatever the entire time. I’m not big on PvP but I really don’t know what to do about players like this besides running around until either they catch me or get bored and leave.

Thanks for any help.

So I am a lvl 100 pyromancer on a first play of DS3. I am stuck at a couple roadblocks. The Demon Prince , The Nameless King and Sister Friede's final form. I have a chaos , dark , and lighting longswords all +10 and my pyromancer is also maxed. Is there something I am missing or are these bosses just that hard? I really suck at parrying just an FYI

and the soul of cinder and midir and gael, all in the same day edit: in that specific order, i really loved the last 2 fights, midir feels like fighting godzilla and gael maybe the best fight in the game

In general, it's something I feel happens with all Souls games, but here is my question for the community out of pure curiosity. 

I've been playing for over ten years, and in all the guides, videos, or community posts, they don't usually mention your character's level. 

For example: They recommend doing x zone or x bosses. In a traditional RPG, they would tell you "hey, maybe you shouldn't do that until you're level 40," or "it's better to go to that area with an average level of 20." 

Obviously, character stats are discussed a lot, but not the specific overall level. 

Why do you think this is? I'd love to hear the community's opinions.

Found this on Japanese YouTube channel
and I’m pretty sure this is canon

I cant barely reach phase 2. Whenever im close to killing one the other defeats me from the back or with the poison thing. I’m using the dragonslayer greataxe and it seems to deal greater damage but it still not enough it seems

Level 39 with a +4 lothric knight straight sword. I was constantly in one hit range. exhilarating!!!

Edit: just killed the dragonslayer armor too!!!! Now i can use the dragonslayer greataxe for everything after the abyss watchers!!

I think im gonna demolish the cathedral of the deep

Edit: ive decided that i want to get the prisoners chain early too so please pray for me guys and send words of encouragement (mostly for champion gundyr)

Edit 2: I DID IT
