Dark Souls III

[Samus Aran]

abyss watchers fight was rad

downed in 3 attempts

yeah that fight is cool. first phase is rly easy once you notice that the third guy distracts the first two and you can just backstab them tho

HOLY SHIT TALK ABOUT EASY BOSS

[spoiler]Deacons of the Deep[/spoiler]

and yet they took me 5ish tries lol

tec how????

I Suck @ Life

mostly because i kept getting cursed due to my own inattentiveness, or running out of estus half way through the fight

i mean frankly they do so little damage and are so slow to attack you can just roll around or swing wildly and you should barely even be taking damage lol. and the active deacon always goes down with just a couple hits so idk how anyone even manages to allow the curse spell to happen

that fight is like pinwheel easy, just not as pinwheel fast

[TooB]

I love how dark souls players always talk about how a boss is, like it'll be that simple for anyone who plays, no matter how relatively easy a boss may be.

Like, its dark souls, shit can happen. It's easy to mess up too.

it's really phase 2 that i had more trouble with lol

it's just really easy to get distracted between clearing a path to the bodyguard-swarmed main deacon, and interrupting the curse fog spammers, and avoiding that giant blast of dark magic, etc., and it's such a protracted battle of attrition that i would frequently end up running out of estus before the main one was near dead

they're definitely harder than pinwheel

what weapon/weapon type are you using?

deep battleaxe

it's about time i retired it

[Nyerp]

crystal sage is pinwheel except hard

[Kalahari Inkantation]

the catacombs

maybe i spoke too soon about ds3 bring easy lol

i've hardly ever felt so battered, bruised and soulless

i've lost a cumulative total of about 40k in this hell

[Kalahari Inkantation]

and then there's smouldering lake

wtfml

[TooB]

Don't worry, they'll be here soon to tell you how easy those areas are.

if you happened to get it as a drop from the darkwraiths in farron keep, i recommend the dark sword as a very good PVE weapon. as a balanced STR/DEX build, refined dark sword is very powerful and very easy to use PVE. its weapon ability sucks but i never use those lol

[spoiler]

yes, his intro cutscene is awesome

and i was legitimately afraid for a second upon running into a giant skeletal hand in otherwise perfect darkness lol

and the ominous curse fog bellowing from his rib cage enhances the theatrics

it's just too bad his moveset is kind of limited (and a little glitchy, for me the handle of his sword would sometimes be several feet away from his hands lol)[/spoiler]

also, old demon king down (3 attempts)

He pretty much can't hit you at all so long as you bury your face in his crotch. [/spoiler]
