honestly I killed the first boss on the third try as deprived. the club is a decent boss weapon 2h with the dmg buff

however I think I got lucky as when he morphed into 2nd phase I just wailed on him until he died, didn't even really fight him after he morphed haha.

none of the bosses have been too easy or too hard yet tbh. wont say which but there was one boss which I got to 30% health on first go and thought must be easiest boss, but actually that is the boss I have died the most too! Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

one thing that bugs me is how close many bonfires are, then suddenly huge ass stretch in cathedral just to get to a bonfire was nasty af

the farron keep poison area is brilliantly horrible. worse part is just getting completely lost in that mess, its too bloody hard to map it in your head. I need to go back there, but I dont want to haha

I'm lovin the game just gotta ignore the fact that IT RUNS LIKE SHIT. seriously runs worse than witcher 3 I think, which is not deserved. I'm basically console 30 fps.

Ive been mostly not using shield, but what cheeses me off is 2h movesets seem to be mostly worse than 1h. drain more stamina, slower, not really more damage.

I havent found any weapons worth 2 handing really.  I got hyped for this greatsword which is strike dmg, but its 1h moveset is way better, even though its a fucken greatsword.

I spent a good 1-2 hours just exploring that area. Ended up just taking 0 weapons, poison resistant armour and running to find stuff before inevitably dying to one of the MANY enemies. Quite a few good items and weapons dotted around there.

Regarding performance, I've got everything maxed out and haven't had a single issue. A couple of guys have had problems with hard crashes near a certain bonfire but it's a known issue with nvidia cards and solves itself if you set lighting to min.

12 hours in and I've gotten to Irythyll. Going to call it there for today as that area seems insanely rage worthy.

15 hours clocked or so, boss difficulty does increase as you progress. And boy oboy some of these areas are not a joke, im loving every bit of it, except when my fucking spear gets stuck on a wall thats to the right of me. Its like im playing crpg ffs, shit gets stuck everywhere, no control but to fight in very spaceous areas, but sometimes thats not a choice.

In a winter area now, no spoilerino, but the area itself is making me butthurt, and the boss seems even harder than that. Trying to branch off and find something more manageable for the time being.


More minor berserk references (maybe)

ok I rerolled warrior today which is stupid because i think im nearly halfway through. but has still been fun, the battleaxe is so strong.

I summoned 2 guys for 2nd boss to help them get medals, 1 instantly died, other didnt even go thru fog, still solo'd that buffed up boss first go kek. soon after I summoned a purple and had one of my funnest fights yet where we both used all our estus, and I still barely won vs his katana specials. most pvp in DS3 is just gang bangin due to how it works.

in general though rollling in darksouls 3 is so much easier, especially than darksouls 2 early game. makes alot of boss fights easier than you think imo

EDIT: Also two things to note - being embered opens you up to NPC invasions. Those apparently don't happen anymore after the area boss is killed, so stay embered. Helping someone kill a boss restores your embered state and gives you an extra ember.

My life mood has gone from

work hours: average
afterwork hours: happy

to

work hours: miserable
afterwork hours: ecstatic


I also want to give out a special mention to boss music, not that it has been bad in the previous titles but damn you get that extra hype feel when you enter boss rooms. The frozen doge

music was great.

ye is hype, boss fights seem on a different level. so far i'd say dark souls 3 is harder than dark souls 2 and dark souls 1, just from the general interaction with npcs
