No idea why, my best guess is that some people feel better taking on the boss solo even tho they went through the hole place with a phantom clearing the way for them.

Shaded Woods and Harvest Valley.
Shaded Woods makes me think I'm playing a PS1 game, and Harvest Valley [and to a lesser extent Earthen Peak] are the most miserably dull areas in the entire franchise. Nothing but a green tint, rocks, and a windmill that looks like it's mad of cardboard.

Say what you will of Iron Keep, at least it's visually appealing.

>tfw id forgotten how fun DaS2 pvp was

man it's true when they say that all that was needed to make DaS2 seem great was contrast with DaS3.

I hated DaS2 pvp when it was hot, but compared to DaS3's garbage pvp, I now truly see how good DaS2's pvp was, even if there was some hitbox fuckery and ADP shenanigans

also how comfy DaS2 is in general.

Best weapon for Fallen Knight outfit?

FK in game uses Longsword and Bandit Knife(?) in his offhand, but I use the Longsword so much and the BK doesn't have the off-hand moveset that it seems so boring to do that

I've stuck to Carthus Curved Greatsword so far, and that's been fun. I feel like there's probably a better match still, though.

Inb4 darksword.

Also, character names and build for a Fire Witch character? I want to use the immolation tinder, but I think it's pretty strictly an int build thing and that blows my ass.

I stay away from shields, hate them gameplay wise and don't like the way they obscure fashion for a lot of the sets that don't aesthetically require them. Think the only character I have in DS3 with one is my Drakeblood cosplay. Hawkwood's is pretty fashionable, though.

I kind of feel bad that the only boss out of all these games I've never beaten without summons is the 2cats in DS2.

Does DaS3 actually have any nasty run-backs to any of the bosses? I really can't recall any of them having that sort of thing. The closest ones might be getting back to Oceiros or Champion Gundyr but compared to some of the stuff in DaS1/2 those are nothing.

Is this kind of thing good or bad?
>>
>>169571819
Personally I would say it's good. Actually, I even summoned for Gundyr, because it's just too tedious to run back to him. Granted, I am a casul, and this is my first souls, but I don't want to be punished twice for trying to beat the boss myself.
>>
>>169571819
depends on your taste.
i am okay with most dark souls ways. demons souls on the other hand was too long. i just restart the game at the maneater fight to skip the long way for example.
>>
>>169571819

If you summoned for the twin princes before unlocking the big shortcut, the bridge is nasty, but there isn't a single boss I can think of that has an approach which can't easily be sprinted through.

Absolutely. I'm not saying that I personally find it challenging, but of the boss runs in the game I would say that is one of the most likely to damage you on the way. It's virtually impossible to get killed running to a boss in DS3 so I feel like I have to set the bar low

Don't, 2cat is a shit boss and beating them without summons is really a matter of frantic swinging and sheer luck.

>>169571386

I've done gank squad without summons; mostly because there weren't any summons to get; but it's such a tedious process that I never did without if I had a choice. It's literally just running away for 20 minutes and lightly tapping whoever you can when you get the rare opportunity when you're on your own. When you have two buddies however it suddenly becomes an entertaining mess.

It is the quintessential area of shit design of that entire tire fire of a game. It makes me think that B-Team has a bunch of talented dudes and then this one Randy Pitchford who gets into everything, like a /v/ Matt Ward. The DLCs can only be good so long as they keep him distracted and out of the office, and in the Ivory King, they almost succeeded completely, but he whined to the boss that he wasn't getting to contribute, and the team had to play damage control by stuffing all his horrible ideas in one garbage corner of the DLC and hope everyone would forgive them.

Is the "Return the Drangleic" event even that popular? I just went through the entire game, including all dlc, and I think I saw a maximum of 3 online signs and never once got invaded by a player. I did see a good amount of the "skeleton" or whatever messages at Majula though. If there's one thing I realized going back to DaS2 though was how clunky and shitty it felt to play it and it made me see how much more smoothed out 3 and Bloodborne are to play. Oh well, I didn't hate the entire ride. It was a nice trip down memory lane.

Yeah the stamina consumption in DaS2 is fucking unreal. It really does feel like entirely different experience overall now that I've went and have played everything in the soulsborne line. DaS2 really stands out from the rest now that I've gone back and felt it again and I don't necessarily mean that in a positive way obviously. But as I said, the nostalgia (sort of) that I felt going back through it was nice.

I actually tested this myself the other day, in DaS1 with 40 endurance you can fastroll 7 times, in 3 with 40 endurance you can fastroll 11 times. Obviously a pretty big jump but it's not as major as people make it seem, especially when you consider that enemies in 3 are much more aggressive and speedy and combos are more common. It's only PVP where its effect is really pronounced and that aspect of the game has never been the focus.

You do feel a lot more like a tank. On one hand it was nice for the PvP because rolling was more of a weighty choice, but it was also bad for it because of how few actions you could take.

Smelter Demon is the mid game scrub wall. He is the part of the game that breaks you and molds you into someone who can actually play for shit, or else consigns you to the garbage heap forever.

He trashes the shield turtling you've been relying on. He makes you level up that ADP and learn the wonky roll timings finally. He makes you heal over time shit. He actually has some of the only decent hitboxes and attack flow in the game. He makes you work to get to him like a DkS1 boss, and once you beat him like a man, the rest of the game is piss easy. Summon or skip him and you lose two inches off your wiener.

Luckily you're playing a shit game that despawns all the enemies after you kill them enough. That's the walk of shame right there.

using pure spellcasting is more challenging because it's frustrating, not because it demands higher skill. it's a shitty box of tools to restrict yourself to and mostly just puts you at the mercy of your opponent's bad decisions.

there's more room for displaying skill with melee weapons included. i'd personally put spellsword play at the top since it has the most room for intelligent play; you can apply a much broader variety of tools and mix them in more ways. also worth noting that if you have a weapon in one hand and a catalyst in the other you can't be holding up a shield and backpedaling.

>>169577057
Yeah I never stop leveling in DaS2 simply because the matchmaking is entirely based upon SM. As your SM continues to rise, you're still going to match up with the people who are in the same pool as you and if you chose to stop leveling, you could face someone who chose to keep leveling and now you're at a disadvantage all because you decided to stop at a "meta" level. Granted you could still win, I'm not saying by stopping at a certain point you always lose just you're not as on par. Kinda rambled there I suppose but yeah, that's why I never stop leveling in DaS2.

About two levels away. Starting from the closed gate, that is.

While killing Andre is a huge mistake, it doesn't mean the end of your playthrough. It just means your options become very limited. Hopefully you found a Black Knight weapon, or something? Any weapon that you can use that functions with Twinkling Titanite can be upgraded without blacksmith services. You should have a repairbox, as well as weapon and armor upgrade boxes. If not, go down the elevator from Firelink into the spooky dark place, and over to the right side, go down the stairs. You'll find a the smartest blacksmith in the land, but perhaps not the wisest...

That's Prince Lothric, who was hailed as a hero but is actually an anemic NEET. That statue is propaganda to make him look like he was a Lord of Cinder rather than the crestfallen fuckboy he is. If you want my theory, before Sulyvahn went full Super Tree Hitler and Aldritch when pacman on Gwyndolin's boipucci, the Lothric priests were cool with them and borrowed Pontiff's sword for Lothric to pose with so he could look cool and to show that he has a good range of ecclesiary ties.

Honestly, it's been decent so far. The Heide's knights actually being in Heide's fucking tower is a nice touch, and it kind of feel like some of the ridiculous overhead tracking attacks have been reigned in, especially from the Heide's giants with the UGS and maces.

On the other hand, the dev's idea of improved enemy placement seems to have just been to shit a bunch of footsoldiers everywhere so far, with one easily ignored ogre right at the beginning and the afformentioned Heide's Knights only becoming a problem if you attack one.

without spoiling any fun "Gotcha!" moments, does the enemy placement improve later in the game, I've only just gotten started, having killed Dragonrider (but not touching that bridge with the drake) and being just before the Last Giant.

He's got the same condition as the Pilgrim Butterflies in Lothric castle once the eclipse starts. The "Wings" seem to be a sign of advanced hollowing and may have some kind of connection to the Abyss.

You'll also notice several hollows seem to have turned into trees in Lothric, as well as the fact that Yol of Londor seems to have some roots growing out from under his ninja turtle backpack.

Well, obviously some weapons are considered better than others, no? I don't assume the Halberd I got before even fighting the Gargoyles will get me till the end of the game, and I reached Anor Londo, which means I can craft some of the boss soul weapons. I'm thinking of either the Lifehunter Scythe or the Queelag's Furysword. Are either of them good?
>>
>>169571819
hmm. speaking of Running back.

I just recently started one of my Dark Souls characters again and i have to say... the worst run back i ever dealt with in any souls game was when i was clearing the 2 remaining lords and Gwyndolin.

>all i have left is Gwyndolin and Gwyn
>heading to Dolin
>make Anor Londo dark, killed the Brass Firekeeper
>rested at the bonfire just outside Gwyndolin's boss room
>get "it" to 1 hit away
>proceed to play like shit for no reason and get killed
spawn waaaay the fuck over at the Brass Firekeeper Bonfire
>can no longer be used as a bonfire for warping or fucking anything besides respawning here when i clearly never rested there a single fucking time since starting my save
>"Eh, its not to far of a run, i'll be there shortly"
>go down the elevator
>sprint down the stairs
>heart sinks as i realize just how fucked this run back to the boss room is going to be
>the spinning staircase is set downward
>have to traverse the beams with the painting assassins
>pull the lever, get on the spinning staircase and pull another lever and finally get back to the boss

its fucking bullshit that this happens. Why do i get spawned over there and basically have to redo the whole fucking zone when the bonfire is fucking inactive and never been rested at since starting the game up. this was my 8th or so character and i never encountered this bullshit before. my greentext makes the run back seem fucking short but it sure as fuck isn't and you can't even use Homeward Bone, it takes back to the broken bonfire that you never rested at

You gigantic nigger, faith has ALWAYS in these games (except in Bloodborne where int/fth got rolled into one stat basically) been a support stat focused on healing and with combat spells being a mid / late game thing if they've been a thing at all.

Miracles are only really a thing after Undead Settlement when you rescue Irina and then you get your first miracle trader.

>>169589538
faith is hot garbage even at 60 faith

lightning spells only do decent damage if you're at knife range, so you have to abuse poise talismans to do what amounts to just hitting people with an ultra weapon.

the only real uses for faith are:

healing
second chance
having 60 faith and base stats for dragonslayer axe, infusing it raw and then buffing it with lightning blade for 700+ damage on a axe moveset. This also works for lothric knight greatsword but that is even more stat heavy and shouldn't be raw.

>But what you're saying is that picking cleric is a mistake because all I can do is heal myself.

Picking a cleric isn't a 'mistake' if you want to focus on faith, but right at the start there are no real offensive miracles and as such it takes like 2 levels to start expanding your faith options.

If you're looking for a noob friendly class, use Knight or Warrior, or Temple Knight and use Fth as a support.

DS3 is a fairly short game and it still does have offensive faith options, they're just not as immediate as sorcerer.

>Faith is decently good in PVE

Excuse me?
If you mean that Darkmoon Blade and Lightning Blade are good, yeah, they are but those are the only useful ones.

The 3 lightning spears do little to no damage for the amount of PC they cost, contrary to DaS1 where you could rush the game as a cleric by picking lightning spear in the altar of sunlight pretty early on and hit for 350~ with 25-28 faith.

Lightning stake is ridiculously easy to fail and will only deal the outside radious damage due to the main hit needing your target to be at dagger range.

Dorrhy's Gnawing is not bad but there are really few enemies vulnerable to bleed and the spell deals around 400 on a slow telegraphed straigh line.

WoTWC is just shit damage and viability wise.

Wrath of the Gods is fine but needs you to charge for a long time, so you can't use that against either enemies that 2 shot you by staggering or fast as fuck bosses like Abyss Watchers.

Divine pillars of light MAY be good, but its targeting is random so is not as relliable as a fucking R1 from a straight sword.

Lifehunt said is something to be laughed at in general.

So basically, the only viable miracles are buffs, heals and weapon enchantments.

>>
>>169591686
I know its not a huge part of the game anymore, but faith based characters make for awesome summoned phantoms or provide excellent support to phantoms.
If bosses were actually hard this would matter, but as of right now it just makes the situation overkill.
>>
>>169591929
20 or so to cast it. But you need to join the sunfags, meaning you need 25 fai (this goes down by 5 each time you help someone kill thir boss)
>>
>>169591686
Lightning-staking Oceiros and Gundyr in the spine over and over was still the single most fun experience I've had in a faith playthrough of any of these games.

Lightning Spear was good early on in 1 b ut not THAT good, and my divine mace did most of the work.

And in 2 it wasn't good even early game, just some very specific circumstances where the spells were helpful, coupled with the novel aspects of the herbs com DeS coming back, this time as spell recharge items.
>>
Only problem with faith is that lightning spears need to be more effective as a ranged option.
>>
>>169567987
Irithyll Dungeon

Just boring stone walls, annoying enemies that reduce your HP to 1 that just stand around while you kill them, except when they decide to kill you in 1 hit because 1 hp.

It has the annoying basilisks. It has infinitely respawning rats. It has a maze-like path that is hard to remember. The final room has about a trillion enemies, and you'll have to fight them all at 1 hp.

Its just generally unfun. I always speedrun it. Then after my character is at the level I want it I go "hey, where the fuck is X spell or X estus shard I wanted?" and realize I have to go back.

Runner-up is any swamp level that reduces your movement or roll speed.

All ranged spells suffer the same problem, their projectiles are slow as fuck and only capable of hitting PVE enemies. In PVP the only possible way to land one is in melee, no matter how much ranged damage they do youre not hitting a moving, rolling target.
>>
>>169591989
My only gripe with the game is how the difficulty became a meme.

"Players really enjoyed finding how the world connects and utilizing shortcuts, and generally felt proud figuring out how things connect."
>Well let's make sure things aren't linear, see how easy it is to figure shit out then!

"Enemies were rewarding to defeat: Sure, they had some advantages, but the same base rules always apply: stamina, fall damage, wind-up/recovery..."
>Eh, just make the enemies immune to fall and stamina damage, that should help fuck over the player whenever ledges are involved!

"Careful observation and deduction rewarded players, like the bloodstain on the elevator in Sen's Fortress or listening for the sounds of enemies nearby."
>It'd be much harder if we let enemies attack with range from outside possible camera angles and unleash massive ambushes whenever the player goes somewhere new! Who cares if it works a second time, they died, didn't they? Also, red crystal lizards LOL!

First one was great for testing your ability to play a difficult game. Second one is more like Devil May Cry - play, die, come back and win now that you know what to do.

I feel like From was just trying to make Faith different from pyromancy or sorcery instead of just lightning flavored sorcery.
Faith spells being primarily close range feels like a good niche to occupy, their bonus damage range should be increased though to maybe 2-3 yards instead of point blank.

Faith should be focused on aoe/close range, but not devoided of other choices. You got circlet and emit force for pure ranged miracles, but lightning spears only need a tweak in balance to shift them into a ranged spell with a melee bonus instead of a melee spell.

Vaati always portrays the spirit trees as good guys but look at it like this:

-greatwood attacks you
-ethereal oak worshippers attack you

Vaati is part of the tree-controlled storyteller industry. You can't even criticize the trees without hearing "Oy vey, remembuh the burning of the archtrees".

Those trees are the enemies of man and god and there was a reason they were all burnt. Why is fire holy? Because it brings heat and light? No! Because its the only thing that can kill trees.

Take the tree-pill.

I always thought an interesting interpretation of the intro of I that ties well with the idea of narrator's identity as possibly Velka is that she's narrating the first and greatest sins of all the ones she ever chronicled: The Lords' hubris in taking the Lord Souls from the First Flame, using their power to wage war on the Everlasting Dragons and remaking the world in their preferred image.

Even if the end result was better for everyone but the dragons it was not exactly a selfless act.

>>169599679
I'm not sure if this applies to all the games, but I remember the argument in DaS1 being that starting at Deprived gives you balanced stats overall, while also being the lowest SL (meaning its cheaper to level in the early game)

Some builds are best rolled with one of the other starting classes specifically because they actually have -less- stats invested in certain attributes.

Mostly, Deprived is my "first proper character" starting class after I've irredeemably fucked up my first character's build in a Souls game.

The only way gwyn could be the first sinner is if he was the lord of dark. Considering that humans have pure white souls, while gwyn's soul, and his age of sunlight, consists entirely of a gigantic bonfire that seemingly hides an abyssal dark world, maybe he is.

In such a case, that could be his sin, proclaming himself a god over something hes not.

Why couldn't she? It's not like one cant turn against the beliefs of their group's founder, or else no human would have ever have linked the Fire. Individuals can have opinions, and Velka could simply be really, really, REALLY into chronicling all Sin, no matter where it came from.

The problem with speculating about Velka lore is when people try to ascribe undue importance to her within the context of the story.

>Te entire point of the game is secretly Velka plotting to overthrow the other ods, and HERE is proof of why! [cue five paragraphs of speculation with no basis nor hooks in any in-game lore beyond the arrangement of a couple statues in the Painted World that are not even confirmed to be hers]

By comparison, just trying to find a way to make something like the intro be framed as more than just an out-of-universe narrator dumping lore on you for the sake of not having you be completely lost as you start the game seems pretty harmless, and it doesn't affect the story proper none.
>>

Chugger detected. If you don't want to PVP, don't use ember. The first time I ran through the game I did it entirely unembered. If you need an extra quarter HP and 3 other players to help you, well, you might just suck.

Dark Phantoms are supposed to be the counterbalance to that.

All PVP is voluntary. Don't want invaders? Don't go embered/reverse hollowing. Don't like the world you invaded? Dark crystal out.

Anyone who gets mad at pvp is just an idiot who doesn't realize this. PVP is part of the game. Those 4v1s you face as an invader can be BS, but nobody is forcing you to take them on.

>>
>>169602852
There's such a concept as "choosing your battles".

P.S. PVE is more fun solo, since you actually have to gitgud and learn all the dodge timings and openings. Running with a huge gang of phantoms and r1 spamming the enemies to death isn't fun. I've tried it before, even the "tough" enemies like knights, grave wardens or evangelists just become completely trivialized.

Just add a Darkwraith covenant that summons you when a blue is helping a host.

I'm sure there's no way this could go wrong, maybe to balance it we could have brown spirits that are summoned to help a blue who had this new guy summoned to help the red the blue was supposed to kill.
>>
>>169603413
Its not that a blue gets summoned that is the problem, its that a new blue is summoned some 5 minutes after the last one is killed. I had one game where I killed 3 blue phantoms, made a white phantom dark crystal, killed the other white phantom, then finally cornered and killed the host 1-on-1.

The blues were total nubs though, couldn't have done it without the 2 estus they each gave me.

Well I'm not even approaching it from the Red's point of view, I was more just thinking about how the ability to do both things devalues Blues a lot too. From what knowledge I have of it [any Anon feel free to call me a dummy if I get this wrong], Blues are just strictly inferior to sign summoning because while they come in automatically, they are balanced to appear anywhere in the level, rather than right at the host's feet.

It seems the system screws both Red and Blues, just in different ways.
>>
>>169604330
You want weapons with innate bleed and buff them with carthus rouge. manikin claws have no bleed and no way to quickly apply large amount of build-up. If you are beefjerky, every maxed out weapon gives you 5 luck, but only if you have at least 15 hollowing.

If someone is ganking with 3 phantoms the answer is simple. Hide in the level and wait for a second invader. If they kill you, invade immediately and enter the fight again. If the second dies, run and hide again because they probably won't follow you through the level. If they do, lead them into enemies.

I really, really don't. I'm doing the whole restart thing with some work friends and already I'm dreading the moment the last Royal Swordsman despawns from the bastille and the forest, forcing me to ascetic the bastille if I want to get the full set of armor.

I don't want all these FUCKING BOOTS, DAS2!! JUST GIVE ME A HELMET, JUST ONE HELMET FOR MY FASHION SOULS.

No worries mate, I did the long grind full Heide Knight right away and royal swordsman soon after. Just join covenant of champions and farm the royal gank from Mcduff's shop. Covenant of chanpions keeps all enemies spawned at all times, even the ones that have despawned. You will never once need to ascetic.

Quick question.

I've enjoyed what little I've played of the souls games and if I was still a student I'd happily dump hundreds of hours in.

However with a job this is easier said than done and my main annoyance is how long it takes to run past trash back to a boss for another attempt. That's not challenge, it's just time consuming.

Is there a mod that puts a bonfire in before each boss or should I just alt+f4 when I die and copy a save across from before the fog?

Don't really give a shit if it's the 'casual savescummer' way to play, there's absolutely no argument that running past trash mobs for 5 minutes is part of the challenge.

>>169610413
Parting Flame is DLC only and is convoluted as fuck to find since its an illusory wall and drop into an arena above a boss fight. Also its not better than default flame since it has lower spell power, its only benefits are a WA that lets you recover estus which is useful when running through an area, and if you make physical contact with an enemy while casting an offensive pyromancy it adds the glove damage to the spell. So with things like great combustion and black flame where your in their ass if you want to hit it has ridiculous damage, aside from that default flame is better.

Ah I see.

I don't need more estus, because I am already running pyromancer and less spell power sounds naff.

However the up close and personal thing sounds like it would be fun to try,

So what major revelation do people think will be found in the ringed city dlc?
Is the city's name Londor?
>>
Who do you personally think is harder boss.

Plaintiff Sillyman or Nameless Kang?
>>
>>169611867
Pontiff is the casul filter
>>
>>169611867
The former, as long as you don't parry. The latter only trips people up because he drags his attacks and they can't adjust to his timing after a full game of panic mashing the roll button, and all the crutch summons that late in the game are equally garbage. He's predictable and slow as fuck, while at least Pontiff has his gimmick stand, super lunges and longer combos to actually apply pressure, instead of letting you slap him around and chug with impunity.
>>
>>169611849
It's probably not Londor. We see too much new shit in it, some of which directly contradicts everything Londor stands for like something hidden in the city that can cure Hollowing or fire/dragon weapons used by ringed city guards.

I have a feeling that Londor was just a cheap knockoff of Ringed City that tried to use its symbol for their own agenda.
>>
>>169611867
If you don't ever bother with parrying like I did my first playthrough, Pontiff Sullyvahn.

Otherwise, NK.
>>
>>169611148
Only in Oolacile.

Also, DS1 PVP is awful. People can backstab you while you're directly facing them and 20 feet away.

>>169612172
>>169612220
better question

who has better legs?
>>
>>169612072
I beg to differ, I was horrifying casul, who never finished a single souls game before Dark Souls 3 and I killed Pontiff easier than Nameless King.

Then again, I guess Pontiff kinda handheld me into all the different ways to survive an encounter in Souls games, After finishing Dark Souls 3 I could finish Dark Souls and killed Kalameet without taking a hit, and only died once on Manus.

So take it as you will, i'm still a casul though.
>>
>>169612397
It's just a symbol of Ringed City and Pygmies in general given that it's everywhere, including the walls, and ringed city guardians are carrying ringed sign on their chests too.
>>
>>169612480
>Then again, I guess Pontiff kinda handheld me into all the different ways to survive an encounter in Souls games, After finishing Dark Souls 3 I could finish Dark Souls and killed Kalameet without taking a hit, and only died once on Manus.
Did you tailcut Kalameet without a hit?
>>
>>169612395
No way dude, those backstabs are so deep, the pvp meta of DaS1 is like 4D chess.
>>
>>169610290
Good taste coming through.

Death Note
Berserk
Psycho Pass
Ghost in the Shell
Parasyte
Food Wars (even though I tried the recipes and they can be massively improved upon)
etc.
>>
>>169612694
>Did you tailcut Kalameet without a hit?
Nope, still a casual.

I got the sword earlier before I gave up on Dark Souls for the longest time, I realized my cowardise is what fucked me over.

I habitually rolled away every time, and while I didn't realize it at the time and blamed it on my first build, it was the reason I kept getting killed.

In Dark Souls 3 every single thing punishes rolling away almost instantly, Except for Friede and I don't know... Wolnir and the Tree.

Why do I get the feeling that we are going to hear about how the primordial serpents distorted humanity's history for their own agenda?
>>
>>169611867
Pontiff is infinitely worse
>>
>>169611867
>>169612072
>>169612480
Pontiff is easy as fuck, I even beat him first try solo, unembered without even paying attention to his little shadow man or understanding what it even did (other than try to hit you).

Had more trouble with Undead Legion, since getting gangbanged by 3 guys is a pain in the ass until you realize that the red-eyed one is "friendly".
>>
>>169613416
how the fuck does one have trouble with the Undead Legion?
>>
>>169613416
The real gatekeeper of skill is either dragonslayer armor, nameless king or the fag princes.

But these are all end-game bosses, so they're hardly gatekeepers.

O&S in DS1 set the benchmark for gatekeepers and Pontiff is just weak in comparison.
>>
>>169613546
Yeah, it even summons assistance for you.

>Original Pygmies connected to the true dragons in some way were able to strike the deal with Gwyn and got their own comfy playground far away from dangers

>Shadow attacks
>Sillyman does the same attack after
Pretty easy and no real gimmick to it. If you have enough DPS, you can even get the shadow down to half health or less during the summoning animation, while also damaging the boss himself.

Not arguing that Abyss Watchers are hard here, just arguing that Solomon is overrated.

I never parry, but Sillyman just doesn't hit hard enough, and he gives you more time to heal if you get hit. He doesn't have as much health either.
