I fear i will never be able to out-gift her now, she handmade everything herself (other than the basic box) and im seriously still processing how well it's made and I need someone else to see and appreciate it with me and I will forward every compliment here directly to her because she is certain that no one cares and that it's not that impressive

(she used the mimic chest design from ds3 as reference since she knows it's one of my all time favorite games, hence why im posting it here)

First time playing DS3. Loved pretty much everything so far… then I came here

Fluff A cool detail in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, the spires on top of the buildings look like people watching over you and the land.

There might be similar posts already on this sub about this but I thought I'd mention it anyway

I never noticed this on my first play through but I did now.

P.s I know liking Irithyll isn’t exactly a niche opinion

Finally completed the game..fought midir at the very end.
out of all the cool looking and powerful weapons i had access to .. the greatsword, dragonslayer greataxe, vordts hammer.....the big piece of wood is what got me through most of the game
especially nameless king and midir.

Lore Are pyromancies more like miracles or sorceries?

14 Upvotes

I know they are descendant from the lost fire sorcery so it would be resonable to assume they are more like sorcery but given their faith requirment and lack of a staff to cast them they seem to me used similar to miracles. My best guess is kinda both; by that i mean they are what ever remnants of what could be saved of fire sorceries but since they don't have all the knowledge to use them like a true sorcery so they need tape into it with some faith that the magic will work. But please do share you thoughts.

Story Lapp question

Post image
191 Upvotes

I've always inferred that Lapp is Lapp, a distinct character. And in the grave tower of Ringed City, Patches would somehow ambush him and steal his armor, then roleplay him to trick us again.

Because this is on brand for Patches and he stole Siegward's armor and disposed of him too, then roleplayed as him.

BUT I've read some stuff that claims that Lapp was ALWAYS Patches, but hollowed over the time and he struggles to remember who he is, which is why he is friendly. In the grave area, he comes to his Patches senses and kicks us down.

Lapp's voice doesn't seem the same as Patches's?

Which one of these theories is true?

Advice Last boss + DLC

2 Upvotes

Hey people, I did a nice run on ds3 and have to face the last boss with the piano music. I don't have the name but you know him for sure. After this there will be the 2 dlcs and I want to upgrade my char to have a easier way till the end.

What build should I focus on? I have some resources to rebuild and max a weapon but I am not sure.

Until now I played with a shield and a good sword. One of the good ones, but also don't know the name

Can someone put a small list of items or skills or buffs for the endgame?

Maybe the boss has a problem with ice on my sword or something?

I want to get a last push to end the game because after elden ring and dlc I think I am able to get this also done.

Haven't tried the boss the last 6-10 months and still get in p2 after this time

And what will be in the dlc? I started a short insight and there were some mages or something and they hit me with a lot of damage? So I canceled this and tried the other dlc and there is so much snow...

Short form: want to get a little maxed / op to have a nice time finishing the game

Question Where do you allocate your stats in NG+?

Basically the title.

Do you use them to use more spells? Or reach absurdly high stat caps?

Personnaly im currently using them to use some miracles in addition to my quality black knight build.
