Honestly I usually like to solo and learn the bosses for the first time through, so I totally get not wanting to get boosted. I did sunbro some just for fun when I had a boss down. :)

*Frosty dog is waaaay easier to co-op. I actually did farm some souls there. I never got dancer summoned when I did it because I was to low soul level I think.

Like the other games titanite shards are stingy early on but you will be swimming in them eventually. Don't be afraid to add fire to a weapon either those drop pretty frequently later as well.

Onionbro is awesome, but man if I did not manage to bug his questline on all 3 of my play throughs... Poof onionbro is no longer where he should be because you just had to go to a place early for your build and broke the logic chain.

I know you said no maxed out weapons, but I can give you a +10 burn hand in exchange for the one you have if you want.

Definetly part of the fun for me. Shaking off the rust, laughing it off when you ***** up. Feeling your character grow and reach power breaking points.



Classic Souls, omg getting excited I got this, stay calm don't get greedy, one more hit, YES! ooops

I do like how you conserved by using throwing knives on the clones though. Sage is one of those fights that seems spank easy when it goes well, but during clone phase it can go spectacularly wrong really fast. During my sunbro time there I saw a lot of hosts die because they tried to ignore the clones and burn the main one only to get wtfoneshot by dual clone barrages from opposite sides of the map. I always take those suckers down and try to keep the fight under control even if it takes a bit longer.

Started Old Hunters DLC on my uber level 109 Blades of mercy toon yesterday. Not far yet but I caught the very first hunter that jumped me with a viceral on his first attack and pwned him. I was so proud.

Just curious are you soloing or summoning NPCs to help?

The video might still be there, just check all the 15 minute blocks to see if the fight is one of them.

Also not DS3 related, but I was just made aware of this. DS2 spoilers inside.

Three new boss vids. For the record, I found Old Demon King to be a major PITA. Might not have died so many times if I were using sorceries other than utility spells, but I want to do mostly pyromancy and weapons for damage. Ended up getting him on my first try after Spoilergrinding up the souls to raise my faith high enough to use Black Snake. Meleeing was a nightmare. Kept getting stuck on his feet, or his elbow, or his tail. Then my camera would lose lock on randomly, causing me to run the wrong direction at the worst times.

Second boss was the Pontiff. Easy as pie. First try even.

Third boss was the first one I went in knowing a fair bit about, but only because I've been reading lore stuff on TVTropes, and of course they mention Spoilertag teaming Yhorm with OnionBro. Of course, my inventory is a mess and I spent a good 20s in the first fight just trying to find SpoilerStormbringer. Hence, SpoilerOnionBro died, followed by me shortly after. Took me a couple tries to work out the dodge timing, but not a terribly difficult fight, overall.

Beyond that, my pyromancy arsenal is pretty much complete now that I've rescued Karla. Have Fire and Dark pyros, a Simple axe for magic damage(lost about 14 damage converting it, but that's aight), and a Knights Crossbow with lightning bolts if I really find myself needing lightning damage.


Edit: Heh. Arsenal gets caught by the google filters.

I did. That might be something to look into, though I do still kinda like the Simple axe for a few extra spells while clearing.

Edit: Huh. I hadn't considered it because it's a lightning weapon, but the wiki says it is, in fact, buffable. Might consider that with lightning weapon for bosses that I'm gonna melee.

So, apparently, it has an interesting property where if you give it Faith scaling of any kind, the lightning - which normally doesn't scale - begins scaling. Sounds like if you give it a Blessed enchant, you could actually get both Physical and Lightning to scale off of your faith. It would lose its ability to be buffed, mind you, but hey, it's an interesting thing. Edit: I kinda wonder how it'd work with a Hollow enchant, now that I think about it.

Killed four more bosses last night(3 one shots, one where I ended up going to a different area to get the mats to full upgrade my flame after like a dozen tries). Vids tomorrow, probably. Got a thing tonight, where I'm hoping not to be judged too harshly on my pathetic attempt at making a bday cake.

That fire demon is no joke lol. I pretty much cheesed him every time (bow for days on my non caster toons). Dark Orb works great btw. It even hits harder than GCF on some mobs.

So there I was in Bloodborne cruising along, thinking wow the DLC is almost bright, dusty but brighter at least. I'm totally going to do this, get back into it and stuff. Then I got to the first boss. Now I can take vagi tooth faced bosses. ( I guess if I have too) I can take genticles for days. But for some reason the moment I saw that retarded dog face boss I was done. Full stop. I'm not playing anymore. I'm out.

But the good news is I started a new toon in DS3! Oh man the magic is back. Dark souls forever, it's such a slight bit of differences but I prefer DS over BB immensely. So I rolled a new Herald, decided it's ok if he does not use spears sometimes and gave him a Astora Straight Sword (raw). It's lurvley. I plan to mix in some spears later but man that raw astora sword is so fookin great early.

Just kicked crystal sage to the curb. Enjoying the run so far. I wish they would just crank out a new Dark Souls every year. DS 7 the Wrekonater returns. Would pre-order. ***** Bloodborne though.Clausterphobic mind rape ****** dog bosses is not what I want. Plus ***** you I want a shield. And dragons, and flaming space whales and flaming unicorns. Actually nix those last two but I also played the opening to MGSV this week, then promptly lost interest in the game.

Death to giant crabs! I say.

I finally got off my *** and fought the last Lord of Cinder, and that second stage is brutal without help especially with the Spoilerteleporting lock-on loss bullshit . Just have SpoilerNameless King and and Ermac left. Gonna collect every item I need for trophies first then finish and start NG+.

Just did another round of co-op on watchers. Died on the first phase. /shame Ze majik she has left me no?
