Why are the bosses in DS3 so lazy? Vordt was the only passable design for me. Abyss Watchers are literally copy-pasted from Bloodborne, with the ending a clone of Lady Maria. Sulyvann and Yhorm don't even have fucking cutscenes. I'm very underwhelmed.

I got a question about the Great Mace. It has shit scaling in every infusion and seems worse than vordt's in every way. What's the best way to use it? I was thinking of not infusing it all to keep the base damage high and just buffing it. is the solo C scaling in strength better than DD scaling in refined at the cost of lower base?

>>146442154
do NOT use the great mace
it is not worth it
it is not worth it at 60 STR heavy
it is not worth it elemental or raw
it is not worth it 40/40 refined
just dont

>>146443146
it is not worth the titanite
it DOES NOT deal more stamina damage to shields
it's a great hammer with 500 AR fully upgraded and fully statted

We're talking about the same boss right? The one with the 4 clones that all shoot projectiles?

I'm sure you summoned someone to help you through it but it's actually a bit more challenging solo

>>146457485
took me 15+ tries before i realized throwing knives kill the clones

>>146431197
Kalameet for not being lightning weak and also for being the one dragon that Anor Londo was never able to defeat, even in its prime.

Seath for being unkillable unless they're fighting in the one cave for some contrived reason.

Manus or the Four Kings because he couldn't even survive in the Abyss, never mind fight.

Potentially Priscilla because "even the gods feared her power of Lifehunt" but the game doesn't represent what it even does so I have no idea.

Technically pre-hollowing Gwyn I guess, for obvious reasons, though he wasn't a boss in that state.

Honestly, not a lot though. Maybe all four of the Knights of Gwyn in their prime.

>>146457875
Not even that guy but the boss is piss easy.

>>146458482
Clever. I would have never thought of that.

>>146457875
Not that guy also, but you can prevent clones from spawning by smashing the crystals in the intervening period (they're clone spawn locations) and then rush down the purple guy. He automatically goes into teleport away mode after taking a rather small amount of damage, so if you keep bumrushing him, he never gets a spell off.

>>146458756
I never knew smashing the crystals actually stopped them spawning, I put together that they are the clone spawning locations but never thought you could impact it, huh.

>>146458861
Confirmed over four runs. Just roll through them and you can prevent 2 clones from spawning, three if you're lucky or want to use firebombs/exploding bolts.

>>146422609
WHY DO WE HAVE MORE POPES THAN KNIGHTS

Gaping Dragon has always struck me as interesting/odd, even if the boss itself is shit. Same for Bed of Chaos.

Four Kings and New Londo are also pretty baller, an entire city and its residents sealed under water just to stopgap the threat of the Abyss. It always sent shivers up my spine every time I see the mounds of corpses around the door to Valley of Drakes.

Conjurator set, fire stoneplate, red bug, flash sweat, hold up the crest or black knight shield and walk. Don't be a retard and panic spam roll, it doesn't help, just steadily chug estus as you go.

I wasn't the same guy, but Oceiros is obviously the king just in his title, the queen is certainly implied to have left him in the blessings, Lothric is a place that tamed drakes all over according to some of the knight gear (while also hunting them, I remember that standing out as being weird), Lothric's and Lorian's fuckups are on their armour, weapons and souls, his obsession with Seath and the archives is on his own soul

Not sure about where Ocelotte being stillborn is from though, nor Oceiros trying to save the world.

Also the stoneplate cuts ten percent of the lava damage you colossal fucking faggot. You can just take it off after you know.

Divine blessing tells us that the queen fled the castle after giving birth to Ocelotte. There ad to be a reason that she left. She was revered as a godess, so I doubt there were assassins after her.
=
The soul of Oceiros tells us that he wanted to harness his blood for a greater purpose, which led him to the heretics(key word) of the Grand Archives, and in turn led him to Seath, the Paledrake. The fact that they are heretics means there has to be a reason why seath is scorned; perhaps his works are cursed?
=
From the White Dragon Breath sorcery, we know that he was "edified"(he learned) from the "divine" works of an old sorcerer, who made the power of seath his own. The fact that he learned from this leads me to believe that he wanted to harness seaths power for his own as well.(this is conjecture)From the three characters associated with seath(logan, the duke, oceiros), all of them went mad, and two of them learned from seath. is that a coincidence?
=
Lothrics cinders tell us that the bloodline was obsessed with creating an heir, and they turned to "unspeakable" means. Do I really need to explain this point? Also, It is said in the twin princes' soul that Lothric left to watch the fire fade.
=
According to the dragonscale ring, he was fascinated with dragons and eventually went mad.(conjecture)Again, the three people we see related to seath all go mad. Oceiros was more dedicated than the others; the world(in his eyes) rested on his shoulders; Whose to say he wouldn't go farther than the others?
=
And, from the game files, we know that Ocelotte is dead. Whether or not this is a viable source is subjective.
=
I didn't proofread this, so there is probably useless information/loose ends in it. If you have any more questions, please ask. I'll do my best to answer them.

anywhere with fairly level ground and a raised area for spectator/fight queue
gorgeous view ahead optional but it helps

back to poise souls 1

>>146462878
sorry, i don't actually know
but light attack is a double hit, i see why you would think they're better
i'll try them on the Sage later today
they don't have Bleed on them though, so Rouge or infusion will have to do all the work

has the poise = more hyper armor meme been tested?

>>146464062
yes and it's been confirmed

if you have more poise than 0, you have more hyperarmor on some specific weapon types
there's no difference other than that

Hodrick vs Creighton

Who beats whose asses?

I feel that Creighton doesn't get enough credit as he's easily one of the most aggressive invaders in the game, if not the most aggressive.

everything but jumping attack(maybe weapon art?) is parryable for it

never tried, but it's like any other axe

>>146464374
i tried there before and no one came

>>146465808
too high of an SL to be competitive as a caster unless you go spellblade
in which case you're just better off with the bare minimums or only using carthus flame arc on a quality build

>>146464482
Unfortunately this doesnt work, i've been part of a test before and even with a seed it doesnt target nor hurts red phantoms

Doesnt matter unless the host jumps in, it doesnt even fire as long as the host stays on the ledge

>>146466086

>>146467172
If you cant free-aim for shit, vestiges is better; especially with how fast it is now.
Damage-wise with Witch ring it does around 550 in my experiences
GCFO does have better combos because of the lava it leaves

I heard that the barbed straight sword is quite good for dex/luck builds, how does it perform compared to the traditional warden blades and thief knife?

>>146467172
firewhip into poke with estoc/spear is a realy good combo btw

>>146467184

wardens is better imo, you may as well use a normal ss, but its a nice option for a bleed build

What makes you think so? Scales with luck instead of strength. And with hollow weapons giving extra luck it gives you 10 free levels. Not to mention they bleed as well.

>>146468674

How strong is WoG in this game? I heard it has a long cast time, but does it make up for it by having borderline 1 shot potential like in DaS2?

>>146468886
Not that strong, its alright vs multiple invaders/phantoms but on its own its kinda shit compared to its DS1/2 counterparts

What are some decent weapons for a pyromancer? Preferably nothing that is a great/ultra weapon.
