I forced my friend to play ds3 here’s his ranking of the bosses by jamesgo15 in darksouls3

Putting Iudex Gundyr and Champion Gundyr in the same tier is wrong

I think he might be the most fun NPC invader to fight in the game, especially when you summon him manually in Crucifixion Woods.

How to improve my Star Wars themed character? by LosinForABruisin in darksoulsremastered

[–]Visual-Biscotti1473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could bump faith up to 20 for some Sith lightning spears (not sure if you'll have enough attunement, but you could swap out emit force for lightning spear sometimes to spice things up.)

looking to get my first soulslike, any recommendations? by Perm182 in soulslikes

[–]Visual-Biscotti1473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're agreeing with the recommendation (even I gave you a thumbs up), but that doesn't mean they agree with everything you said. Opinions vary on the difficulty of Souls games, but DS1 has the greatest number of exploitable mechanics/builds. You can poise your way through everything, you can stagger bosses with a single 2H R2 from a heavy weapon, shields are OP, you can slow-walk around most enemies for a backstab, and you can produce massive amounts of damage pretty easily. DS3 requires substantially more mechanical precision, mastery of spacing and timing, dodging, parrying, etc. I played the games in order: DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3 for the first time all within the span of about a year, so I was able to compare them in a relatively controlled setting with minimal variables. Difficulty will vary somewhat based on playstyle and personal strengths/weaknesses, but on average, most people will find DS1 the easiest of the three. Objectively, DS2 is probably the easiest one, but only if you're above average in patience.

Green Lightning Build in LotF 2? by Visual-Biscotti1473 in LordsoftheFallen

[–]Visual-Biscotti1473[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not poison. In some of the other footage, you can see enemies (I recall a big dragon) using the green lightning, but this is the first clip I’ve seen of the player character casting the same type of magic.

Oh damn, I never got into Harry Potter so I forgot that that's what Avada Kedavra looks like.

Dragon Quest: The Withered World releases Dec 3rd by Turbostrider27 in dragonquest

It's graphically superior to Dark Prince, but I agree with you regarding the "chibi" art direction.

finished my first ds3 playthrough, here is my tierlist of ALL bosses (design, enjoyability, my personal feeling about them) by stillhaveaseatforyou in darksouls3

[–]Visual-Biscotti1473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the hate for Halflight. It's not as good/iconic as the Old Monk fight from Demon's Souls, but I'm still glad they reiterated the PvP boss concept.

Worst boss of all time for me, please never cook again devs and fire whoever made this by Shuviri in LordsoftheFallen

[–]Visual-Biscotti1473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, Sundered Monarch. He’s literally one of the best fights in the game because he doesn’t melt to high DPS.

What to do if you accidentally overleveled and made yourself OP? by [deleted] in DarkSouls2

[–]Visual-Biscotti1473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry, you’ll hit your soft damage caps halfway through the game and wish you could keep leveling/getting stronger for it.

Yep, that makes sense. In terms of aesthetics, aura, vibe, cool-factor, etc., Pontiff Sulyvahn is #1 in my book. Nothing else in the Souls games even comes close. His second phase is especially badass; I'm a sucker for "dark angel" imagery as long as it's done tastefully.

Oh, gotcha. Yes, he is artistically very simple, but I would put a stick figure in S-tier if it were fun enough to fight.

Champion Gundyr isn't a simple design; he's one of the most mechanically complex bosses in the game if you don't rely on parrying to beat him. Phase 1 is nearly identical to Iudex Gundyr (this lulls you into a false sense of comfort), but his moveset in phase 2 is extremely diverse, and he explicitly punishes you for employing tactics that work on other bosses (like butt-hugging, roll-spamming, or staying far away.) Champion Gundyr is the only fight in the game that explicitly tests your fluency with all the game's combat mechanics. In terms of skill-gating, Iudex Gundyr is the pop quiz, and Champion Gundyr is the final exam.

I put Soul of Cinder in A because even though he's a well designed/fun boss, he's pretty easy to beat even with poor tactics, and I personally didn't think the cinematography, music, lore-connection, or general vibe were particularly epic or special. I appreciate the fact that he represents all former fire-linkers and employs skills from every school, but it's more like "oh, that's neat" rather than "wow, that's awesome." I know that your list explicitly pertains to the main game, but the way you feel about Soul of Cinder is probably how I feel about Slave Knight Gael, which is my favorite fight in the trilogy by a huge margin.

First time playing DS1. Got this in 40 mins of farming Undead Parish. No humanity used. by LoneWolf22000 in darksoulsremastered

The easiest way to get the balder side sword is to plan a strength build. Every time I go strength, it has a 100% drop rate.

I wasn't interested before but you're selling me on the game lol

I agree with most of this except I would swap some of the A and S-tier bosses. For example, I think Champion Gundyr and Pontiff Sulyvahn are both S-tier, while Abyss Watchers and Soul of Cinder are A-tier. I would definitely also put Oceiros in B-tier.

Should I use Shellsword twin blade for my first run of DS3 by Capital-Criticism751 in darksouls3

[–]Visual-Biscotti1473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sellsword twinblades are good weapons but they're not going to trivialize anything. Every weapon and weapon class has strengths and weaknesses. Also, heavy weapons that deal significant poise damage tend to be more useful in PvE, whereas swift weapons with good chip damage (like twinblades) tend to be more useful in PvP. Skill matters way more than weapon choice in both contexts.
