Against 3 people an estoc is the worst option to use since not only are they going to be going all out on you you won't have the ability to parry them all at once and kill them at the same time
DSaxe is the best way to go and whatever else you say is a flat out terrible opinion considering most of the scrubbies use 2 hand weapons so parrying isn't an option half the time

Against 3 players, anything slow and with limited reach is a terrible option unless all 3 of them are in front of you and don't have a weapon with longer reach.

The Estoc's speed allows you to dance around your opponents and poke them relatively safely, wearing them down over time. The DSaxe is great, but only if you can actually hit with it without risking being gangbanged. In many cases, the Estoc is a much safer option.

Hardest NPC invader?

I'm thinking Hodrick due to him doing a heap of damage per hit, as well as the parry that'll fuck you up good.

I died a few times to him the first time you meet him, and also when you summon him.

Creighton's bad in general.

Hodrick's invasion isn't actually that tough but Crucifixion Woods and Pit of Hollows is pretty bad.

Alva can be a bitch with his Arbalest (or whatever crossbow it is) as well if you don't manage to get him near the cliff.

Hyper Armor is useless if you poke them from outside their range, or if you poke them inbetween swings when HA isn't active. Fast, long range weapons like the Estoc can do this.

How do you even plan to fight 3 or 4 phantoms with HA attacks if not by flat out avoiding their damage? Even if you have your own ultra weapon, the three of them hitting you is still going to make it impossible for you to trade with them at an advantage.

Pokes and parries are your most effective tools.

>what do you do when you deal with 3 other twinks? Each with weapons that are difficult to parry

Avoid the phantoms. Wait for an opening to strike, poke an get out of there. Basically, out play them through actual skill.

>Power is the best way go for a gank squad
If they are twinks too then they can both out HA you and nail you are the same time instant killing you. Aiming for trades with HA is stupid when you are outnumbered and fighting equally gear opponents while using a slow weapon.

I never said it was easy. It takes a lot of baiting and patience, but it is possible. Depending on the circumstances, there may be no other viable options.

If you can consistently get in quick pokes while avoiding all enemy attacks, it will work in the long run.

That's the key word there. Most of the time, that won't happen, and when it does, the host has more HP and Estus than you. And if the host has summons, well, your chance of poke and run goes down even more.

>>
>>144394220
I know he won't because I know I'm right because I've been up against many different twinks and scrubs with my twink build and found power gets the job done, the point is to break apart each phantom and if you have the opportunity the host as quickly as possible with power and most of the time in a 3v1 the 2 phantoms are going to be mercilely attacking while the host stands back to avoid dying since obviously they don't want that so you need power to dispatch them THEN and ONLY THEN should you flip to something that can give you an opportunity to take out the host whether it be wearing them down with an estoc or crushing them with the DS axe
This applies to twinks of course

PvP's not much better too. Maybe if there was a patch to buff some shit things to not be so shit I'd be up for it but it's weird how burnt out I am on 3 already compared to how long I was in 2 before the DLC, while 3 is still the better game in many ways to 2.

Faith and magic are a joke, and the entire balance of the game would have to be reset to accommodate them (not a bad thing, just more work than From will ever be willing to do).
Same with poise, so we're stuck with guys in rags having the same amount of stagger resist as someone in full Havel's when being hit by a broken sword.
And unless the DLC areas somehow meshes perfectly with the existing areas, PVE will continue to be a straight, boring line.
>>
>>144395856

That's part of the issue, but not the main one I feel. Not being able to access Grand Archives for all the great shit in there until the game is almost over, Elemental weapons being 99% garbage compared to physical, how long it takes to make non-pure physical builds worth it, how 40/40 Refined is just objectively better then everything while being pathetically easy to obtain on most main PvP builds with no sacrifices, and certain weapons just being objectively better then everything else in their weapon class (Carthus Curved Sword is the best curved sword, Witch's Locks invalidate every other whip, etc) just make me disinclined to play anything other then my quality build.

>I think it is the main issue though, mainly because it makes everything play relatively the same.

The thing that I'm wondering with Dark Souls 3 poise is even if it was 'turned on' what were the exact breakpoints for things in PvE and PvP? With how poise numbers on even heavier armors being drastically decreased compared to 1 and 2 would implementing it fully actually make things more noticeably different for players or not? I haven't seen any videos of people who turned it on or any documented results on this so I'm unsure, but it's making me curious because it's a part of the whole poise debate I don't see considered often.

It's funny, because DaS1 style poise would have been balanced this time because they have the vit split, and poise even has diminishing returns in DaS3. The same piece of armor will give you more or less poise depend on how much you already have.
>>
>>144396320
Oh right I didn't even think of that but not sure if you knew if it didn't affect matchmaking. When I made my twink I went through the whole game without upgrading flasks since I wasn't sure if it affected it. Decided to use all the shards to see what happened and I got matched fine otherwise I probably woulda made it a SL80 build. Plus you could always get a friend to drop the stuff for you.

Right now the weapon balance is terribly wonky. I keep thinking of a new cool look I want to go with and then realize it won't work because my strategy will be really underpowered or the weapons are outright not working as intended. For example, shotels/harpe don't bypass shields even though the fucking descriptions say they do (Serpent Hatchet nonwithstanding). I'd love to punish turtlepokers in PvP with that shit, but as of now they're just worse swords.

- Bring back Poise, but make it balanced and not completely abusable so that someone can stack heavy armour and still be fastrolling.

- Make a backstab on Estus guaranteed instead of the chugger being able to casually walk out of the fucking thing/ get the buff regardless of interruption.

If you don't get it in one, just run to the fog gate so he lies up with the room (prevents tail clipping through the level), then when he gets to you watch his head again. When he rears back for the laser, you have time to run behind him again. Now fuck off.

Some enemies still have buckets of DaS poise, like Cathedral Knights and Darkwraiths. But only a few.

No, it was probably the hardest in parts because it had to live up to the "so hard" meme.
Bosses hit hard, and unless you sat around pulling mobs with a bow, you were going to be playing Dark Souls 2: Manage This Large Group of Enemies Edition for the duration.
Not to mention the actual bullshit they threw at you that you couldn't possibly anticipate on a first playthrough.

That's on one specific build and was soon patched.

>>
>>144398706
When you invade Lautrec in Anor Londo, he and his two summons all have Spook cast (permanently) so that they don't take damage falling off the staircases.

>>144398735
Estus in Bloodborne. They don't refill, though - they're a common drop.
>>
>>144398412
Tseldora comes to mind. The road to Shrine of Winter in SoTFS, the road to Drangleic Castle, Drangleic Castle.
Shulva was full of it, and the optional boss runs in Shulva was a pain. The run to Executioner's Chariot.
A lot of it is just a small mob of weak enemies while a ranged bowman/ caster keeps you rolling, and then there are the straight-up multi-stage ambushes like in Earthen Peak, and the SoTFS bell-ringing hollows in Undead Crypt. There's a lot.

I prefer DaS2 to DaS3, but I'm not going to suddenly forget the shit it pulled to try and live up the reputation of being super dooper hardcore.

Oh, I figured it had something to do with that part. I never did the Lautrec quest properly, I either killed him right in his cell or back at Firelink before he killed the keeper.

>>144398764
What does it do exactly?
>>
>>144398735
Yeah, 'blood estus'. You could have 20 (max 32 with all of rune slots wasted for +vials runes) of them on you and they healed for 40% of your HP. Healing could be parried. They had to be purchased, appear automatically after dying. Mobs in early areas dropped them too.

Yeah. It was the estus equivalent, except it did not refill automatically, and if you tried to use it in PvP, they could parry and riposte you for it.

Just think about that. You invade a gank squad, The shitter host runs away to heal, but you parry his estus and riposte him for the kill instead.

Again, that's not exactly what anyone's going to stumble upon in a regular playthrough: that's meta shit, and I dare you to tell me you were on the cutting edge of the DaS2 meta.
Most players are going to do one or two runs with something comfortable like Str or Dex, then start looking into the broken meta game: of course the game's are easy if you abuse the known broken gear.

Invaders are better because they min-max and develop dick builds and tactics to deal with the odds constantly being against them.
It's a cycle that started with the cunts who were treating the game as a small-scale mmo, and it's why I can't believe people are calling for a Hornet Ring nerf;.
HR is one of the few ways to effectively shut down a large group, but nowadays I'm just seeing two-handed Ultra weapons everywhere.

>>144397834
>estus stronger than blood vials

I'm going to have to stop you there. Even the default 20 is effectively 80% HP, and they were so ludicrously spammable that it was almost impossible to die if you had some left and weren't being stunlocked by a mob, to the point of being able to heal twice after pretty much any attack.You also picked them off corpses as you went so you could effectively go forever without returning to the dream.

People like you are why I hate the PC player base you demand a port of a game just to fuck it and all it's sequels into unplayable states with random invasions.

Not him but WM doesn't exactly prevents twinking, only makes twinks marginally less OP. It also makes it a bit harder to start since you have to go through game with +2 weapon but that's not much of a hurdle since wannabe twinks can abuse NPC glitch.

They took minor dmage from a starting area enemy, and because they were wearing actual armour, they had poise to prevent staggering.
If anything, that Webm just shows how much has been removed from the series over time in the name of "balance".

Trick weapon. When you sheathe the tiny sword the handle for it becomes the handle for the sheathe.

The sheathe is a greatsword.

Only an idiot uses charge against an opponent that ain't running or chugging.

Just something about Carim in DaS3 seems very different.
Before almost all of the folks from Carim we meet are either malicious, untrustworthy, aligned with dubious/sinister gods, or even a mixture of the three. But now there's a big book of miracles from the place, and they're all very nice and wholesome. They may still retain some of their dickass ways, as evident with Eygon, but they appear to of had a religious boom in the events leading to DaS3.

You should have the lower burg key or something similarly named. Go back across the bridge where hellkite drake was, there's a door that leads down to lower undead burg.

To be fair though, Lautrec is a bit of an exception.

He forsook everything to serve Fina, albeit it's similar to the Eygon thing, and he was just another dick with Shotels

He also had great faith, although he used spells and not miracles.


The shieldless fighting thing though, that definitely changed.

If you meet dubious Carim folks in 2 I wouldn't know.

BB really needs reload animations in the same fashion as crossbows in DS3. Plus each weapon having at least one unparryable move aside from jump attack with the exception of small spammy shit.
Also i think that there only should be like 5 vials healing you back to full HP to emphasize on regain mechanic which is one of the best thing about BB in my opinion.

You should learn yourself how to play the game first.

Estoc for a twink is worthless, you need something with wide swings, you'll rarely find a 1v1 situation in which you can abuse the estoc's speed. Raw ASS is the undisputed champion of twinking with maybe CCS there if you're into stat rings.

The only people that consistently twink are bad players. The reason is that they are so bad at the game that they get their asses kicked otherwise, so they stick to twinking because it offers them such a large advantage.

Rings mean nothing when they scale off of base stats and you have very low base stats at low level. The only rings worth shit for twinking are hornet and chloranty, maybe estus ring. The others are just fluff.

Rings mean a lot, and as far as we know Weapon Memory works on a range, so all you need to do is be at the upper edge of that range to have an advantage.

This is the most fun you can legally have as an invader.

Knight base

Prisoner

FAP
Stam 103

FAP+2
Stam 104

Obviously it'll give more stamina if you level up endurance since fap is % base and not flat like chain but if you are twinking putting points into endurance is a waste and 16 END should be enough.

The health boost is huge at low levels and I don't notice the damage difference since everyone I invade probably doesn't even have a +3

>>
>>144403134
I only use the knight and pyro class for anything. I know some other builds will let me move a few points around elsewhere but they always have a few points that are totally wasted in luck. At least if the points are in ATT or VIT I get something from them.

And I think 15 VIT is a good base to usually wear whatever armor you want and a heavy weapon. I just switched my twink around from Kirk bleed to Black Knight. I had to put points into VIT to use the UGS but I could always take them out to only use the regular Black Knight Sword and the Glaive.

Can't use the axe because it's too heavy and requires too much strength and I would have to give up all of my VIG to use it

Ill have you know I'm top of the leaderboard in Dark Souls, and Ive been involved in numerous gank spanks on the Darkmoon Dickbags, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in pyromancy and Im the top stunlocker in the entire Undead Parish. You are nothing to me but just another casul. I will wipe you the fuck out with R1 attacks the likes of which has never been seen before in Lordran, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Giant Dads across the internet and your Soul Level is being tracked right now so you better prepare for the stunlocking, scrublord. The stunlocking that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, casul. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in about 3 ways, and thats just with my +5 Chaos Zweihander. Not only am I at max chaos scaling at 10 humanity, but I have access to the pyromancer's Great Combustion and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of Lordran, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your estus swigging ass was about to bring down upon you, maybe you wouldn't have healed during the duel. But you did, and now youre paying the price, you filthy casul. I will fast roll all over you and you will be stunlocked. Youre fucking dead, scrub.

Just did the Siegward path correctly for once in order to get his scene with Yhorm and can I just say, that fight is like 100x better that way. If they hadn't fucking given you Storm Ruler in that fight and only had Siegward use it Yhorm actually would have been a really cool boss.

When you use Storm Ruler he's a fucking joke. I'm not sure what they were thinking with him.

Unkindled are the people who weren't undead who just died for real getting pulled up out of their graves because they ran out of undead to trick into linking the fire. Unkindled are actually weaker than Undead, but thematically DS3 is all about using up everything no matter how shitty and worn out it is. That's why you cobble together an estus out of broken shards, burn bits of old undead, scrape up new items out of umbral ash.

Even the main story is about scraping together the power of a bunch of guys who are already burned out husks that got used up to link the fire. Everything is broken down and shitty so now we're just piling all the garbage together and hoping its good enough to push the fire along a little bit longer.
>>
>>144404671
Yeah in retrospect I probably should have just ran off when the other invader actually arrived at the pontiff area. I was so focused on trying not to let him resummon his fucking armada that I got a bit of tunnel vision
>>
>>144404869

I think unkindled are the ashen remains of undead who linked the fire. So basically we are no different than the other lords of cinder who were brought back by the bell. Not sure though. In any case it's not like every undead is automatically an unkindled now. There is a difference and both still exist
>>
>>144404919

>>144404869
My best approximation is that an unkindled is like a really really old undead.
You have a darksign so you are technically undead in DS3.

Maybe you're an undead who went hollow and fully died (hence why humanity isn't a thing), but then you got resummoned somehow.

And I thought the Ivory King DLC was good, too. Was ready to be amazed that they actually had good lore, shortcuts, references, enemies, and a fun boss.

But no, it was actually just a big lead up to the dumbest piece of artificial difficulty that's ever been accepted in a gaming community as "fun".

Whoever enjoyed that DLC needs to die in a pit.

The Souls games will never be about having fun in a challenging, yet fair, environment again. Now it's just "how many times can we get the player to die before they quit the game?" It's a fucking meme

So I cheated and got myself to the boss. And yet AGAIN the boss was a pathetic reskin and piss easy. The only boss to give me pause so far was the Rune Sentinals was very early and forgot you had to be human to see summons, Fume Knight, and Smelter Demon 2.0

Lazy designers are fucking lazy. How were any of you cucks hyped for DS3? These aren't even Souls-games. It's like some company tried to make a replica, but could only remember the "players die a lot, right?" part.

>>
>>144407529

Thanks for the reply man

I do think that going the extra 4 or 5 levels might be worth while, but the issue with the CSS would be the stats, as I wouldn't get much damage from it. And using a clutch ring or prisoners chain in PvP is likely a recipe for disaster. You also seem to be kinda lacking in damage absorption in melee, and as I doubt I'd be hit by spells I'm not too worried about the elemental resistances.

Also, one of the key points of using the AGS is that it just so happens to be one of the weapons that 'works' with sacred flame, handy for ganks

>you can't make up for it with the ring of steel protection
true
rosp+2 is only 4% damage reduction in pvp on top of wasting another slot
>>
>>144407845

Now see, that'd be fine if I was, for example, going pure pyro, but I like to play with a little bit of unpredictability, so the lack of STR/DEX stats there is a problem, same as the lower ATT, as that would leave me with less spells to use. Thanks for the reply though, once I'm more comfortable with free-aiming and spells in general I'll give it a shot

Well at +6 Raw Astora SS is proven to outperform scaling weapons unless they happen to have wasted a ridiculous amount of levels on their damage stats, which would leave them with very little in other important stats. And the low requirements make it even more worthwhile

Can you even punish estus AT ALL in DaS3?

In DaS1 it was piss easy, we all know that. In DaS2 you could often enough get a backstab in to cancel the heal. But I cannot fucking do anything about it in this game. The chug is too fast to get a backstab. I literally parry a host 8 times but he just runs away and takes a sip and wins simply because he has more estus. And I cant punish the run or roll because the epic netcode always gives him the advantage and lets him run before I can even swing.

The charms dont help shit because the game forces you to have maximum of 5 and the range is practically melee

>the glory that was DS1 will never be remade
>companies only know how to appeal to casul babies to you dirty memeing fucks by making as much artificial difficulty as possible

Is it really so much to ask for literally DS2? A tight, connected world; enemies that all follow the same rules you do; a continuation of the story instead 'lol convoluted timeline, make up your own story'

The golden years of gaming have truly passed.

>>144410585
What they are trying to say is: the game is balanced for shit, so you have to figure out how to out-cheese it on your own.

Literally the meme that led to this piece of shit game.

Gayer than fighting for 10 minutes because the host keeps running away and healing instead of fighting? Maybe. Who knows.
>>
>>144410734
Yeah I would say it's just as gay.
Also where the fuck is my Nito this game?
>>
>>144410453

ds1 is literally just as flawed as any other souls game

enough of the nostalgiafags putting 1 on a pedestal

unfun, unfinished areas (lost izalith is the worst area in the entire franchise, capped off by the objectively worst boss in the franchise)

tons of gimmicky bosses/easy as fuck bosses that are basically copy paste (stray demon, demon firesage, ceaseless discharge, pinwheel, gaping dragon, moonlight butterfly)

and the pvp was a complete trashpile that was never anywhere close to balanced or functional

Aldrich ate it ;^)
>>
>>144410585

Simple, do enough that they have to use at least two estus for every one estus you use. Do this by using the environment, attacking while they chug, hard to punish chip damage

Make it so that they're spending more time healing than they are trying to hit you, keep up the pressure on them and use your own estus sparingly, maybe equip the estus ring if you have a free slot
>>
>>144410453
Yes it is indeed

Souls series got worse since ppl just hyped it because everbody says its so difficult.
Now its getting more and more player friendly cause some idiots camplained about "its not possible to dont rage in it."

I honestly don't understand who the fuck Aldrich even is in this one. Who the fuck is he, what the fuck did he do? Why the fuck can't they even fucking do lore properly anymore? The fuck is going on in this piece of shit game?

Bloodborne was the better decision. Making fresh games we get stuff like Demon's soul, Dark Souls 1, and Bloodborn. Trying to continue the story gets us piles of garbage like DaS2 and Das3

>that feel when Dark souls 3 makes you go Hollow from how shitty it is
Well time to kill myself. I have no reason to live.
>>
>>144410956

>Keep up the pressure on them
>Giving the panicking host enough room and time to summon a phantom

I never said be patient, I said make sure they're using more estus than you and keep them from being able to comfortably regain health AND get their composure back. And if they do summon a phantom, doesn't matter, the same basic principle applies and that's only if you can't avoid the phantom while attacking the now overconfident host
>>
>>144411162
Dark Souls 2 was good gameplay wise, and lore wasn't so hard to follow at least. Though it did seem less thought out. I actually thought that they would do another improvement. Keep DS2's additions to gameplay, fix the lore and pvp.
How wrong I was. Oh god how wrong I was.

Are you literally fucking retarded? There was Stray Demon and his 2 buddies. One of which made sense - an actual fight vs. the early game boss.

but yes, please, tell me how x2 kitties and covetous demon 2.0 and smelter demon 2.0 and TWO dragonslayers are sooooo much better, right?

Both Pinwheel and the Moonlight Butterfly become basic enemies later on. I think that's what he meant by copy/paste.

>Aldrich was a cleric from the way of white

He left Irithyll and was forced to become a Lord of Cinder. He grew powerful with his deacons and evangelists, who spread the Faith in Aldrich to the Undead settlement.

Aldrich is a cannibal thats why the big guys on road of sacrifice carry cages full with boddies to the cathedral of deep. Aldrich moved from the cathedral to Anor Londo to.hide himself from the unkindeled champion. He also devoured Gods in his Act of cannibalism thats why he looks like a mix between Gwyndolin and gravelord Nito.
>>
>>144411659
And what the fuck is a Lord of Cinder anyway?

>Aldrich is a cannibal thats why the big guys on road of sacrifice carry cages full with boddies to the cathedral of deep
Wait so he's on the move as you progress through the game?

>He also devoured Gods in his Act of cannibalism thats why he looks like a mix between Gwyndolin and gravelord Nito
So that wasn't snakeboy 2.0 I killed? Aldrich doesn't even have a form and he's just some random stupid boss midway through the game with no build up? I didn't even notice the Nito shit. I thought it was just Gwyndolin gone edgy because something, something bonfires been rekindled too many times or something retarded.

Thank you for these words I have been unable to string together top explain how I feel about this piece of shit after 100 hours.

What games are there to fill in the hole left by Dark Souls?

But Pinwheels lore is absolut great
(In my view)
The butterfly is just a random boss

Personally i've been really enjoying my time with Salt&Sanctuary.
Lords of the Fallen seemed fun for the first 30 minutes but it became too sluggish for my taste and i dropped it.
>>
>>144412029
Go back to DS1 I guess?

>>144411941
Maybe it's time to join the console race and get into Bloodborn. Everybody seems to be enjoying it...

>>144411638
Pinwheel doesn't really become an enemy at all... he has a few things that shoot force, but that's it. Not really the same thing at all.

The crystal butterflies can be 100% avoided, and again, they don't have access to a few of the moves the Boss version had.
>>
>>144412094
>I dont understand

>>144412358
He wasn't laggy at all. We jogged together through the area and then pointed at the host. And then he just ran past him. Was he fucking blind or something
>>
>>144411916

Lords of cinder shall do the same as you in ds1 can da.
They link to the flame, burn themselfes so the fire is lit a bit longer before darkness arises.

>To your move question:
You go in the cathedral of deep and beat the deacons the big coffin in the mid of the room is HIS coffin. You expected to meet Aldrich there but he left.
If u speak to Anri of Astora in Firelink-shrine she says: "Aldrich left his cathedral, the little doll told me." Thats the doll u get for killing the deacons and entering Irithyll.

>His Body
He has the crown of Gwyndolin and the black coat of Nito, also his boss theme is a mix from Gwyndolins and Nitos
>check it
>>
>>144411916
>So that wasn't snakeboy 2.0 I killed?
>>144412593
>He has the crown of Gwyndolin

Aldrich is literally mid-lunch when you walk in without knocking.
>>
>>144412593
>You expected to meet Aldrich there but he left.
So what the fuck as been telling me this stuff? I don't get how everyone else seems to understand that's what was going on and not me. What did I miss? Who do I apparently never talk to? How was I supposed to think or even be aware of going to the Cathedral to look for him? No one or any item I ever got said ever to go kill Aldrich because he does this and that, he's here, go here." What coffin even? I have no idea what the story has been at all this one. Other than stupid.

Also why is Aldrich a bad guy? And what is the Princefaggots deal? Where did his legs go?
Who the fuck did the writing this time. It can't be, this seems like such a mess.

>>144412905
But I had no idea in the story by that point that what was even going on. This whole play through was pretty empty feeling to me. I kept expecting to find out in items and conversation but nope, just stupid shit like Boreal Knights go crazy, btw Boreal knights go crazy. These things steal peoples souls with painted world stories, btw did you know this.
I must add I've been pretty disappointed by item descriptions this time too.
>>
>>144412905
From all Lords of cinder,
Aldrich is my i could say favourite because his "lore" actually makes some sense.
>>
>>144413165
>why is Aldrich a bad guy?
He isnt completely, he just likes eating dudes and gods
You only go after him for his precious remains so you can molest the first flame
>>
>>144413165
Nobody does tell u this stuff, but hey nobody in ds tells u where to go
>>
>>144413369
Oh. Now that's more like it. I must have missed something. I kind of got what was going on with the Pilgrim and what's her name Bloodborne looking girl. Though I completely fucked up that ending somewhere. Something to do with not killing the Lenny wannabe until it was too far in the game or something.

>>144413512
Then why the fuck do you people know what is going on? Why do wikis know what's going on? Seriously what did I miss?
>>
>>144413737
Hawkwood tells you that Aldrich bloated and they stuck him in the Cathedral of the Deep. He tells you how to get there too "if you have the stones for it" I think. Then after you kill the deacons in the cathedral the description of the doll tells you that aldrich left for irithyll.

Also, Anri tells you that as well when you go back to firelink.

On my first playthrough I beat Crystal Sage on my second attempt

Now when I'm playin again I've died over 20 times to this guy what the fuck every attack rips half my health off and he's so absolutely random that there isn't any pattern. Usually he teleports after two solid hits but sometimes he just tanks it and does a point blank huge crystal bomb
