Literally artificial difficulty knights

I bashed r1 with a scythe and killed them effortlessly.

DS3 is full of stupid shitty enemies.

That first DLC just doesn't seem worth putting up with. Worse than any area in DS2.

You can parry them. You can dodge roll. You can block them. Stop being a shitter.

What level should you tackle these DLCs at to make them not feel incredibly fucked?

>>381713843

My problem is the whole "Bloodborne speed enemies while you are not Bloodborne speed" bullshit.

You can roll like 10 times in this game with the starting stamina. Therefore anyone who complains about difficulty is wrong.

my problem is that knights like these NEVER stagger and seem to have infinite stamina for attacks

literally DS1 tier black knights, sorry you've only played the easiest game in the series.

how so

haven't played the last dlc yet

>>381714250

Hold strong attack with an ugs or ultra wep

They go flying to the ground and you go up to them and do it again as they get up

They can't do shit to you after the first hit you do so time it right

>>381713362
These dudes were the easiest part of that area though....

>>381715048
>>381715262
That's not the worst of it.

They take Dragonslayers Axe WEAPON ART, one of the most staggering attacks in the game designed to stomp you 6 feet under.

And they're like "eh, I'll just stagger for half a sec, sup?". Worst DLC.

Absurdly fast and unfair enemies are the only way the game can still be challenging to at least a small degree. Anyone who's played the other two and/or BB has so much experience in the game that you can just stunlock everything to death. The only deaths you still have are from being careless or zoning out and getting blindsided.

>>381714390
I use a great club, I get into "they see me" range, I then start charging a 2HR2, they walk into it and get knocked down.

Repeat 0-1 more times depending on if the first hit killed them, and they're laughably easy even with one of the slowest weapons in the game.

>>381715279
>any humanoid enemy in Dark Souls 1

I'm sorry but no, the backstabs alone break that game completely
Not to mention the beyond belief overpowered magic and the fact that enemies not only deal less damage, but also have less health in comparison

DaS1 is a fucking joke difficulty wise, the only reason people perceive it as harder is because it was their first

The game cheeses itself by just playing it, the only reason you think its hard is because you purposefully don't use the best gear there is - which is so braindead easy to use that any "challenge" is completely washed away.

Maybe it's just that I do low level runs because I like carrying babbies in the undead settlement, but even at 45 and weapons at +2 it seems very manageable.

Yes, the angels and shit isnt technically unkillable, but by the time you get to their roots the damage is done

Took me 4 tries, died because I hadn't seen the moves in the second phase before and the one-frame laser one shot me
People are just completely unable to fight bosses differently and always go for muh ankles and muh tail instead of realizing its much better to hit him in the head.

Right after Fume Knight, Midir is the biggest difficulty overstatement by the community.

Am I missing something? He literally has a defined moveset and almost everything can be rolled, the only real danger is the tailswipe so you just keep yourself in front. Even then it can be dodged with timing. When he starts the aoes you just back off and the get back into melee range so you can manipulate his attack patterns.

Yes, after learning the area its simple, but it makes that process the most misarable experience possible, and yes they can be killed, but to do that you must find the source, during which you get zero breathing time.

The final form of the boss? Yea thats alright. The game/camera/controlls however is NOT equipped to handle 2 attackers of that size at the same time.
Though genuinely curious: what did you like about it?
The 2 enemy thing is what i hated in the painting boss too, the rest was sweet.

Ringed City was a lot better than Ariandel but looking back on it, not only is it short as fuck, it also has

>How did you cope with everything else until you got to that fight?
By learning the timing. Midir the shiteater is much, much larger and requires better camera control and more precise timing. His attacks are also much more punishing on NG++ (which was my first time fighting him).
> Genuinely curious of how you managed to beat demon prince.
I found him to be much easier, but I hear one of his forms has easier attacks to dodge in the second half so I must have gotten lucky. Finished the fight with 6 estus left, and has 2 allotted to ashen.
Midir would nearly instant kill me if I fucked up even once, though.

Then we had different experiences because demon prince fucked me up with both phases and seemed like his aoes on top being homing, had added shockwaves which further fucked with my dodges.

The only time Midir OHKOd me was the black laser and it never happened again. Demon prince fireballs seemed to always find their mark though and even though it wasnt OHKO it was enough to destroy my rhythm.

No shit, nobody's ever going to have the same experience. You can't just simplify the game to "roll" and "hit", this isn't a turn based game. Your positioning and timing are more important than anything else.

When invading you NEED the hyper armor, but you also need damage and speed. This is why Hammer class weapons are the best things ever and strength builds rule invasions, because the Yhorm and Sword strategy also shits all over ganks while Splitleaf has stupid single target damage.

>>381723049
I didn't mean invading though I see how "gank squad" might refer to that.

I hate pvp in these games with a passion honestly. Its all meta this meta that, no way for anything else to work. Saying this after trying almost all my fav. weapons. Must've won about 3 out of 50 invasions so far and all 3 were with meta applied.

It really is because his more damaging attacks can all be avoided and he doesn't have a zen tendency some other bosses have like dancer/nameless where they just stand doing nothing until you press a button and they magically start their attacks on the same frame.

I still don't understand why the Silver Knight weapons aren't in this game. It's mind boggling when the armor and shield are in but not the weapons. What was the thought process in this decision?

>>381723378
It's best to not take PvP seriously in these games. Besides the meta, the network mechanics are still wonky. It takes me 10+ minutes in order for me to get summoned through concord yet when I invade someone, they get a blue spirit in seconds.

I'm exaggerating ofc, but saying that the camera in general in DS3 is fine, is just as much bs.

Lock on in DS has always been shit and now that its over its not getting fixed. Maybe in the next series if its DS related but no matter how much you cry about it its never getting fixed.

No shit Sherlock, its how these games work: learning tells/moves, knowing when to attack, trial and error. Did you expect reactions to work? Play DMC/bayo if you wanted that.

He has a charge attack that he often uses point blank where he'll lower his head then rush you like a bullet and wind up at the wall on the other side of the field no matter how close or far you are.
It's also strong as fuck and can instantly kill my character.
I managed to get the timing for dodging it (hold circle and run FAST AS ALL FUCK to the side the second you see his nose tipping toward the ground) but it got annoying when he kept spamming it over and over. I spent more than 5 minutes just chasing the guy trying to get him to stop moving.

Now I remember. That move was annoying but not instakill for me, just another move to iframe out of. If you managed to dodge big wolf's 3rushes this wasn't all that different.

oh, after beating all the bosses, i went back and explored a bit. it just felt like they wanted to make the DLC enemies as annoying as possible. about the only thing i really enjoyed or remember out of the das3 DLC was i got to wear the desert slut set again and i thought gael was pretty cool since he was basically sengoku basara's nobunaga.

being a caster fucking sucks in das3 so just stealthing by isn't a bad idea.

Beating this enemy is hoping it doesn't decide to use its bodyslam more than once. There is no worse enemy in the entire soulsborne series.

They're just the learning curve of the game, if you're careless then you're fucked. Yeah everyone in the DLC does too much damage compared to the main gamr but you should be able to deal with it or be used to dying by now.

>>381714437
I summoned Shira, but I thought this guy was pretty easy. Really telegraphed attacks, just a big health pool.

The stupid Harald Knights were way more annoying. Mini-boss tier health and like 8 of them in one staircase. You can't even talk to Shira without the farthest one detecting you and coming to smash you from behind.

I bet him on my first try, sheer luck most likely. I got him down to his second phase and only had 2 Estus left and somehow I got him despite not knowing his moves. He'll probably rape me to death on my next attempt though.

This is the most Anno shit I've ever seen. Especially the last shot of the city on fire.

>>381716770
nope, the only difficult part is the health pool.

When you stand right in front of him his attacks are really easy to read and he does less flying and fire attacks.
And he takes heaps of damage to his head and a lot of people dont realise if you are hitting his head for the whole fight he will eventually get staggered and you can take off a huge amount of health with a riposte.

>>381714390
Okay now this fucker I can agree with is bullshit. I can deal with ringed knights pretty easily but fuck these cunts

In all likelihood, you were invaded, enemies don't just wander towards bonfires

>enemies don't just wander towards bonfires
Have you ever played dark souls 2? There are more than a few bonfires with enemies placed so close you can't even touch the bonfire until the enemies have died, meaning if you rest on it you have to immediately kill the enemies or they WILL attack.

>>381732589
which bonfires? I know some of them are close, but most enemies usually back off in my experience. They certainly don't wander over to you when you spawn in.

>>381732537
>implying you didn't have 2 golden fuccbois and a white with you

>>381732880
One of the most notorious ones was the bonfire closest to the Lost Sinner. I remember sitting at the bonfire, and the three archers that spawned immediately turned and started firing at me, forcing my character to stand.
Happened so many times I just killed them 15 times each to de-spawn them.

what the fuck is going on in this picture? Looks like he's dual wielding but there's all these chains at his feet as well as skeletons and then at the very bottom some tentacles. Also a really fucking long scroll so he's casting a miracle or spell (most likely a miracle because of his aura) but it looks like he's trying to too much at once and is probably going to get completely assraped by those skellies.

>cheese every drakekeeper with poison arrows. The real bastards were those dragon knights. Particularly the one who was dual wielding those greataxes. He has insane tracking. If you're good at parrying the other ones though they're pretty easy. You can also cheese them with magic but as most sorcerers are very squishy and don't have a lot of health (particularly pyromancers and hexers/dark magic users who need to level int AND faith) they can get two shot by those dragon knights (and one-shot by the dual greataxe dragon knight).

>>381734009
woops I didn't mean to green text all of that. just the the first sentence. it's been a long day.

>>381733426
DS2 felt like all the rest of the games to me. If you're getting hung up on the "delay" of the controls, then I think you're just looking for something to shift the blame to.

All these games play the same, and control the same.

Deadass when I came across the first larvae/angel nigga in the dreg heap I didn't kill it because it was so pathetic. Rest of the swamp I didn't realize that killing those angel/worm niggas was the key to success.
