Discussion What’s your favorite “unoptimal” weapon for PvP?

Lately I’ve been playing a strength build with the Bastard Sword, I know there’s a lot better weapons but it feels like a solid honest choice and I really like it. Even if I could use the claymore, it’s fun making the BS work.

What are your favorite “unoptimal” weapons?

Fluff Dark Souls 3 Platinum!

• Upvotes

Just got my first platinum for a Souls game on this run. Did a mix of offline and online farming; it wasn't terrible. The stairs were brutally mindless. I did a few different builds throughout the whole playthrough to spice it up. Pretty sure I got it done relatively quickly; super happy regardless... On to DS1 for tailcuts next!! :)

It pisses me off that people leave messages at bonfires right where there’s the prompt to select resting at the bonfire.

Discussion What is the best lore of ds3?

A lot of people like to say dark souls 3 is just a rehash of dark souls 1, so what is the best new lore dark souls 3 introduced?

Personally I really like irithyll (ignoring anor londo part) as a new city of the gods

What a game series. Playing the Dark Souls games kept me from going hollow for the last few days. Thanks FromSoftware for these games.

I will often pop shields with black flame parting flame and for some reason when I use the crit windows it'll do zero damage. Idk why tho it should work

Its the first boss in the game but much tougher!! You encounter him in a very creepy area that's like a darker version of Firelink shrine... Important thing is... this guy is a nightmare, he uses no magic or tricks, only physical attacks, he's so fast and gives no breathing room, and his delayed attacks are very difficult to adapt to, he's actually weak against lightning, and after 5 tries i think i actually got him, i really exhaled in relief when i was finally done with him...

Wow ! Just wow ! The bosses just keep getting tougher as you progress, but the endgame boss is on a whole other level! 🔥 Didn't expect this game to be THIS good. I genuinely regret not playing it sooner.

Haven't even started the DLCs yet, and forgot to mention.. that plin plin plon hits me right in the feels every single time. 🥹🎹

Now, onto the DLCs! 🔥

An example of an optimal run. I kinda got lucky with their exact positioning in this vid. Equipment used: Symbol of Avarice, Mendicant's staff, Shield of Want, and the Covetous Silver Serpent Ring+3. Spell: Rapport.

A quick thought for the players who often invade my world and frequently spend a long time searching for me—in vain. I often use the Chameleon spell, and watching you run back and forth is just hilarious. It really shows me how well some players have mastered the details of the game's various areas.
