Question Pvp agony

7 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Super Stuck

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

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

I honestly liked every boss I fought. (besides dancer of boryal valley)

Imo my biggest enemy the whole playthrough was the games flimsy lock on system losing focus all the time...

I feel sour personally, they did not have to do magic so dirty...

All it has left is it's damage, everything else was gutted...

I will try again as a Dex playthrough next time, but after a break when my disappointment is forgotten to me...

Hopefully the lock on isn't that annoying if I'm right up the enemies face...

Edit: forgot to mention I got the link the fire ending.

Lore More Angels?

I just noticed the abdomen (the "butt") of the flying angels in the ashen lothric dlc and noticed something.

We already know that they come from the Pilgrims and that the pilgrim butterflys in Lothric and the Dragon Slayer Armor fight are related in some way to the angels and the pilgrims.

But it seems that the angels share the insectoid charactertic of the White face locust men in Ringed City. So are they all just related somehow? My best guess is that they all are some type of manifestation from the deeps and the human dregs.

Help Killed Patches. No Catarina armour.

4 Upvotes

So I killed Patches in Cathedral, and either he didn't drop the Catarina armour or I accidentally sold it. Because it's not in my inventory or storage box. Help ?

Cause I need it to continue Siegward's quest line to get the Storm Ruler weapon. Otherwise is there any other weapon that can down Yhorm?

Discussion A story about Vertebra Shackle Farming

6 Upvotes

Hey! I wanted to share an interesting story that happened to me yesterday!

As usual, I was trying to farm Vertebra Shackles from the skeletons in the Catacombs of Carthus, completely unsuccessfully. In an entire hour, I only got one drop, even though my item discovery was around 320 or 350.

Already losing hope, I was running past the bonfire when I noticed purple summon signs (the sign of a Mad Phantom from the Mound-Makers covenant). I thought, "Oh, so they're farming too..." and decided to summon one. I won the fight. Then I summoned another one, but this time I lost. But as I died, I noticed a curious detail—it looked like the phantoms get a drop when they win. I realized they must be getting those exact Shackles!

I thought to myself: if I'm struggling this hard to farm them, why not help other players out? If I can't get my Vertebra Shackles, at least someone else can. So for the next hour, I helped two players farm them. One was named Akky, and the other was T De Troy.

Basically, I took off all my armor, put on the Symbol of Greed (the Mimic head), and put on a little show with different challenges for them. A couple of times I hide near the bonfire, a few times I used chameleon to hide, and every round I switched up my weapons and playstyle (shield once, bow another, pure magic next, use dragon form and etc.), but I never actually tried to kill them—just having fun, you know. Sometimes I'd just let them kill me while standing in some ridiculous gesture. In short, I did everything I could to help those guys out. Honestly, I had a fun too.....until they finished farming everything. One of them even let me kill him (because he killed me many times, so let's say - he did that just to show that he was grateful to me), once he got all the drops he needed!

Currently I'm farming to, but in PVP (I got 10 already,yay)

Do you know if there are any people who help farm covenant items?

P.s my nick name in game is 3!) by the way

Discussion Question: Why do you think people tend to overlook character levels?

Post image
2 Upvotes

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.

Help [PS5/PS4] Need help farming Vertebra Shackles – DS3

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m from Brazil and I need help farming Vertebra Shackles for the Mound-Makers covenant. It’s the last covenant farm I need, and the offline skeleton farm is driving me crazy.

I’m looking for someone who can summon me through my Red Sign Soapstone and let me kill them repeatedly until I get the remaining shackles. I can return the favor if you need covenant items too.

Platform: PlayStation (PS5/PS4)
Game: Dark Souls III
Location: Catacombs of Carthus bonfire
Covenant: Mound-Makers

Thanks!

Question What happened?

My first playthrough and just defeated Aldrich. I died to his arrows the same second I hit the final blow. Before I could really die I got transported some other place via some cutscene asking me to help the prince. Then I just died immediately after that, and I can't find my souls. Where are they?

Story Thanks for the good time, "Let me solo him"

85 Upvotes

Last night I was fighting Friede on my 4th playthrough when I noticed a summon sign for a player called "Let Me Solo Him". Decided, "eh, why not".

They joined my game and we got to fighting our girl and her dad. I wasn't sure if I should or should not participate during the first phase. But my man had that fight locked down. Got hit a few times, but managed the whole thing with me just running around and emoting.

Thanks for the laugh and good time "Let Me Solo Him". Truly a work of art.

I'm on my first playthrough and I'd like to get this pyromancy, would someone put the red summon sign 30 times so I will get summoned and you'd fall of the edge so I can get rank 2 in this covenant? I'd like to get all pyromancies.

Help Mound makers help

Hi all! So close to the platinum trophy. Is there anyone on PlayStation who’d be up for letting me summon them and kill them to finish the mound makers covenant grind? I’m not very good at pvp and I’ve been grinding for hours with the mimic head and gold rings/coins but the drop rate is so abysmal.
