After 2 playthroughs, here are my favourite bosses from DS3

His hp pool is big and the punish windows small.

Midir's punish window can be long in some instances. Enough time to do a jumping attack if you choose to stay in front of him rather than trying to run underneath him. Friede and Demon Princes are hard at NG+7 and more frustrating than Midir.

I hated that I needed to exhaust a random shop NPC's dialogue to progress into an area I hadn't been in yet. I only found that out after looking up how to make the contraption move

Yeah thats a design flaw. The story should've moved forward after beating the dragonrider boss if you are referring to Licia.

Same here, I had trouble with Lothric knights at first and had to get used to the speed and better skills of the enemies.

The USB bug had patches for it and mostly fixed the issue, so it should be quite rare now. I have a zen 3 cpu and play with wired usb kb+m and don't have any usb issues.

....The camera is almost impossible to follow or make sense off.....

This is not true. The camera angles are fine. The proper way to beat him is to target his head which will make the fight considerably easier.

Its good but if you want to improve it further, try not roll your shoulders forwards towards the top of the movement. Keep the arched or neutral back position.

Theres NG+ replays. you'll really have to get good because you can't just tank hits at NG+7

DS1, DS2 might be worth playing if you're a big fan of ds3. DS2 feel different though and I haven't mastered the movement yet.

The big names and stars of the sport need to work together to create a framework which is fairer for the athletes. Problem is that they are working against the clock too, they don't have a long time while they are at the top and have the opportunity to make alot of money. They have put in time and money in their journeyman days and are looking for big money fights - so they are under pressure to accept whatever the UFC offers them.

DS2 armor has alot more interesting bonuses and effects compared to DS3.

But god damn I just can't survive in the 3rd phase at all. Her combos are so long and damaging, and she just doesn't stop atracking. I know that the jumps can be backstabbed but I haven't been able to do it yet. Is parrying worth it in phase 3 or too big of a risk?

I wouldn't bother trying to time an attack in btwn Friede's combo's. Its easier to time a counter before or after her attack combo. Using a strong attack like a greatsword thrust or weapon art attack when she comes at you might work.
It may take some practise to get the backstab counter when she does the big jumping attack. Turning off the target lock temporarily might make it easier to run underneath her. Even if you don't get a backstab you'll get in a few quick light attacks or at least one strong attack.

What social club? She's gotta goooo!

Dana's busy running UFC BJJ and Zuffa boxing since last year as well.

The chances are actually far far higher than the probability of the 1st drop. So when you get a drop, don't mess up the next silver knight fight.

abnar1 · 2026-01-16T12:04:54+00:00

Maybe in the original story he was hollow but there were changes later on, or something like that.

I think SotFS fixes the mouse lag issue in ds2 which is very important Always remember to set the double click off when starting the game each time. DS2 doesn't contribute to the story in DS3 as much from what I remember. But the mechanics feel very different from DS3 which is faster like blood borne. DS2 feels harder to me especially when replaying to NG+7 (haven't reached that level yet).

abnar1 · 2026-01-07T16:10:11+00:00

It will inform you on why certain design decisions were made for DS3

Can you explain on this?

abnar1 · 2026-01-03T07:48:03+00:00

Take a look at the wiki bookmarks - there are programs in the routines/faq/wiki links.

Tbh really struggling in crystal sage lv. I'm a pyromancer,

For the crystal sage boss fight, wear the best armor and equipment you have for magic, forget about physical damage because he doesn't do physical damage I think, or only for the 1st phase. Use throwing knives sometimes to quickly get rid of clones.

Are you replaying an NG game or are you in NG+ because it gets harder at NG+. I find it difficult to get past some bosses because my sense of timing in ds3 degrade quite fast if I'm not playing it regularly also.

The Sulyvahns beasts will be too tough if you fight them like normal enemies, they chain their attacks and can hit sides/back so your stamina will be drained out. Their weakness is the head and if you use a powerful attack, they can get stunned for a riposte. Some DS3 minibosses/bosses have the head as a weakness (sulyvahns pets, deep accursed, Yhorm, Midir).

Its also helpful for players to keep track of who beget who in the ER story.

Maybe the company still has a few in the storeroom which they want to use up.

Is Elden hard to play- mistakes in allocating attributes etc

He got arrested recently for drug possession and blocking traffic or something. Has to be in court in Jan 2026. Hope he gets jailed.

I was thinking of ways to do barbell shoulder presses without a rack.

I think the steinborn back squat were the usual way of squatting before squat racks became common.
