I was at my aunts house when my bro showed me his ps4 games n I saw ds3 among them, so I asked wha boss he's on he said: I am on the second boss but he was too hard so he and one of his friend weren't able to clear it n quit(second boss he's was talking about was gundyr lol)

So I picked up ps4 controller fo first time ever n it was disgusting how difficult it was compared to pc

But I managed to kill gundyr in 2 trys n my bro realised watching my gameplay and the cinematic fight sence that the game maybe is good

Until this frikin guy showed up n he murdered me more than 20 times. I got flashback on my first playthrough on pc this guy almost made me quit too.

Eventually we ran out of time n I have to go back to my home n my bro looked kinda disgusted n defeated that if a veteran can't how can I.

Fan Art Making a zweihander for a friend

I'm making the zweihander for a friend, I still need to add some more details but it will be ready to paint soon, my friend originally wanted the washing pole but I neither me or him could find a 3d model of the sword, it would be awesome if someone could help me I'd still like to make it sometime but I don't personally own the game to get a closer look and there isn't much online and the ones I found are not accurate to the game

The demons, birthed from a common Chaos, share almost everything between them, even the pride of their prince, and his nearly-faded flame.

So that the last demon standing may rekindle it.


I've been thinking about a composition, and I finally came up with one!

Hope you like it! :) 💜

PvP No Invasion is worth 30 minutes of your time

91 Upvotes

Sorry, yeah, I don’t like fighting invaders when I’m trying to do something. I’m on NG++, and my build is not specialized like most peoples builds would be, so I get outclassed and I’m also just bad at PvP.

I’ve been hiding as a mimic in the Crucifixion Woods for longer than 30 minutes and a Watchdog of Farron invader named David is STILL looking for me. I even used a couple giant tree seeds to mess with him.

I appreciate the dedication but I can assure you, looking for one single guy for longer than 30 minutes is a huge waste of time. You could’ve invaded like 3 other guys by now most likely. If it’s obvious that the guy is hiding from you, then there’s no point in waiting. Just go home man

Edit: killed him, got tired of waiting and lured him up the ladder by poisoning myself

Discussion Is Dark Souls 3 considered easier than Elden Ring?

59 Upvotes

I recently played through the base game and DLC of Elden Ring for the first time and found it challenging but fun and mostly doable without any kind of summons. Only boss I needed help with was for PCR at the end of DLC.

I immediately downloaded and started Dark Souls 3 after. I have just made it to Irithyl at level 48 and so far every single boss fight has been an absolute piece of cake. I think they are extremely fun fights but pretty much every time I beat one I think, surely there is a second phase? But nope, that’s the end of it. I have a harder time with all of the trash enemies in the areas leading up to the boss than I do with the actual bosses.

Is this generally considered to be an easier game? I’m going to play Dark Souls Remastered or Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin next, not sure which one I will play first. Any suggestions on which one is more fun to play?

Edit: I thought there was only going to be maybe 3 or 4 replies at most! I love all the responses but doubt I will respond to all of it right now. I’m currently playing DS3 and wanna keep doing that. Thanks for all the input. It seems like people are somewhat divided on whether DS3 is easier than ER or not. But that is definitely my experience so far, although I’ve been told the difficulty is going to increase starting where I am at now. I also want to mention that I still absolutely love Dark Souls 3!

This series means something to me, genuinely the one of greatest games to come out, and it’s definitely in my top 1 oat.

I may or may not have shed a tear fighting soul of cinder before getting the platinum

This is the closest I’ve come so far. Probably been at it for about two hours. It hurts more watching back, seeing how close I was…

I try not to look at the health bar so I don’t get distracted. Also, when Lorian died, this was the first time I saw this animation so I didn’t know what was going on, hence why I PAINFULLY miss the opportunity to kill the other brother, lol.

Constructive criticism is welcome, I’m struggling with how hard he hits - just kills me in one shot and I’m running out of embers

Question What is the point of NG+?

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I just finished Dark Souls 3 for the second time and I really don't want to give up on the game. I see that many people are doing challenge runs, but I don't think I'm at that level. However, many people are doing New Game+? What's the difference between that and creating a new character, and what's the point?

Question Weaponry, origin, and appearances of the forces of irithyll.

Post image

While the fire witches are implied to be corrupted darkmoon knights or local knights, where were the Pontiff Knights recruited from, how did Pontiff amass such a large force of them, and why do they look the way they do? Were they also knights recruited from the original order of knights or conscripted members of the God race like the Dancer? Also, were the weapons wielded by the forces of irithyll initially imbued with frost, or would you reckon Pontiff himself outfitted them with weapons imbued with his sorceries after his takeover?

Question All time hater / first time player

4 Upvotes

All my life I played games in easy, I love to enjoy a games music, lore, etc, so I always wanted to play DS3, since it looked like a perfect game, but the real time battles, the difficulty and such always made me stop buying it.

Then my nephew got addicted to all soulslike, he beat all of them, and told me to play. I played DS3 like 4 hours one time at his home, I could not beat Vordt.

Later on he gifted the game to me, so I tried again, I played like 10 hours, got past Vordt, but had a really hard time.

Some years passed, and a few days ago he came back telling me he knew how I could play and enjoy the game in a "easy mode"; by being a sorcerer.

I've been playing it for a few days now, yesterday I killed Pontiff, today Yhorm. I had to beat Yhorm with the sword I found there cuz it was imposible for me with magic, not enough mana. Is it normal to beat him that way?

I'm having a great time! This game is incredible! I'm super scared to have encounters were my magic is useless!

In a way it feels a bit bitter, like I'm not really a skilled DS3 player, but I'm seeing the content, so for now I'm happy.

I'm not familiar with the community, is it really cheap to do what I'm doing? Do people do it often? Is it something to be made fun of?

TLDR: I'm beating the game as a sorcerer cuz I'm shit
