Why are you lying?

Yeah it seems I exaggerated, apparently it's 28 hits with wood arrows. Still not "hours" like user suggested.

Kill yourself

I got the number of hits wrong, I must have used better than the worst possible gear to shoot a DRAGON

Imagine that

-lf assed like the rest of the series

Contemplate self-termination.

>pyromancy
>drakesword
Lole

Imagine being that overleveled on the 3rd boss. Yikes! Nu-Yea Forums really needed to grind to beat the game.

Have you considered that some people just killed the drake, and his tail falls off as a natural part of that labor?

I like how op reposts this as soon the previous archives with 5 replies
Don't forget to s**e

>overleveled
What level do you think he is, and what would you consider an appropriate level for capra demon?
Keep in mind that up to this point you should've done stray demon and butterfly in addition to the required bosses.

>poor dodge timing
>almost died
>drake sword

yeah it must definitively be hard for you amateur scum

Look at his health bar.

Yes, I see his health bar.
Why did you not answer either of those questions?

>Stray demon and Butterfly
No one does these two before Capra. Unless you are following a walkthrough which i guess also fits with nu-Yea Forums.

This.
99% of people who use the drake sword are guide reading faggots.
The other 1% are the people who actually decided and managed to kill the dragon early on their first run

The only people who think it's hard is game journalists.

>played it with his tv turned on
Fucking casual

Those who played Demon's Soul knew.

Stray demon you wouldn't do your first playthrough but I do it every time as soon as I can for 20k souls from one of the easiest bosses in the game.
Butterfly everyone does even before gargoyles, what are you talking about?

Yikes, kys. Casual. Overlevel more next time, OP. Use a cheat engine on PC instead and just turn on infinite health

>Butterfly
There's literally no indication to visit the forest and the game flow literally leads you to gargoyles first.

okay then
I don't see why you wouldn't just answer those very simple questions?

if by "guide reading" you mean "try bows" "try tail"

Markers that people leave are literally spoilers and mini-guides. You realise that, right?

Challenging.

Challenges tend get easier with practice, skill and effort.

Why don't you just tongue but hole

>not RPing as a shaman getting messages from other worlds
you disgust me

That's literally the point you turbo-nigger, the fucking NPCs refer to them

When I played Dark Souls at launch I had a sword and shield and when I entered this bossfight area I instinctively held the block button and it went smoothly without much difficulty

Then I came to Yea Forums and saw everyone bitching about it

Cute

I did the exact same thing.
Apparently using shields in Dark Souls is cheating.

Same happened to me, it was pretty fun.

I dunno what's going on in OP's image but when I fought this guy one of his attacks did 80% of my health, so OP is probably an overleveling faggot.

I would be embarrassed if I wrote like you do

It's not a "guide". You can only get vague tips and pointers. Hell, the message can even trick you

is that a fucking twohanded drake sword? 10/10 I got baited

>mob telegraphs a gigantic jump attack and does a complete 180° midair to track on the player
My god From software are fucking trash

(this feeling as the dawn it fades to gray)

it's probably the first boss that can't be easily assraped with a 2h zweihander because of the cramped room and dogs, and it takes place far enough into the game that you're already committed to a build without a shield and haven't spent time learning a 1h moveset

people knew about the drake sword day 1, newfag

>gonna do nothin personel uchigatana run
>first black knight drops black knight sword

oh well time to have some faceroll fun

No one gives a shit how well you do against level 5s in the burg, user.

what's the difference between the second and third one ? both impose arbitrary restrictions on themselves

SL100 or 120 in the forest, but okay

-ram

fuck this boss

Oh no one gives a shit about that either.

>complaining about the drake sword
>when the club and the demon's greathammer exist
Who at fromsoft thought it was a good idea to
1)make jump attacks do a flat 100% increased damage
2)and make jump attacks on slow weapons almost as fast as quick weapons

Dark Souls is basically a forgery of Demon's Souls. I played Demon's Souls before this game and knew that the dragons have really shitty AI and just let you tag them with arrows. I played Dark Souls blind and found the Drake Sword... then promptly threw it away because I didn't know how to get the upgrade materials.

making viewable webm is har.......d

Yeah fuck those faggots, hardcore gamers like use don't play online NO guides, and reap all the pussy we want for beating this extraordinarily difficult game blind and unaware

Pretty much the same, started with knight, didn't know about equipment load, got the Capra Demon in four or five tries. Needless to say Blighttown and the fight against Quelaag made me question what I was doing wrong, though.

I cannot understand why people pretend a game is hard when there exist ways to make it easier and they choose not to follow those paths.

>he needed a guide to beat Dark Souls
Oh no no no no no no no HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I started using guides to figure out how to use the boss souls. Come at me

It isn't in this example but it can be.

never said that bro, fuck pussies who do

>I started using guides to figure out how to use the boss souls
JUST LOOK AT THE BOSS SOULS
JESUS CHRIST Yea Forums USE EYEEEES

first time I played Dark Souls I picked knight, had no idea about stat scaling or equipment loads. An acquaintance at the time meme'd me into getting drake sword, but I kept pumping up strength anyway with fat rolls. I had no idea about equipment upgrading. I gave up before I could even find Quelaag (I skipped her and just found my way out the other end of blightown confused). Years later I went back and stomped all over the game with a light rolling dex build and thought how much I fucking hate that guy for giving me the most worthless advice in playing the game. Now when anyone asks me about Dark Souls I immediately talk about fundamentals like builds and equipment loads.

I use guides on the first playthrough and there's nothing you can do about it :)

Uh yeah sorry, I forgot I was using Jester pants to get down from the bonfire in Shulva.

Zweihander is arguably at it's most OP and broken in Dark Souls than any other souls game.
>Zweihander is available near the starting hub of the game.
>Zweihander R2 puts literally anything on the ground and has so much range it doesn't have a chance to initiate a first strike.
>Zweihander has a huge sweeping R1 that staggers multiple enemies long enough so they can't close the distance before another R1.
>Zweihander can be 1 handed later in the game to allow the use of 100% block shields.

Okay... how is this game hard?

How do you know what weapon you need as a base?

It depends on the Set, but it can be. Ones like Alva's, absolutely.

Yeah man
Soul of Sif the Great Grey Wolf, who guards the grave of Artorias the Abysswalker.

Special beings have special souls.
Use the soul of Sif, who inherited the divine knightsword, to acquire a huge amount of souls, or to create a unique weapon.

That totally tells me I should use this on a greatshield

This whole "lol dark souls is hard" meme is bullshit.
I used to play Touhou cause it was hard.
I played Dark Souls for the lore and atmosphere.

fucking destroyed him

>he had to look up stats to cheat the game
why do you like not having fun, you would never know this much about the Zweihander if you didn't look it up

A +10 shield, no less. Does the game even tell you you need an upgraded weapon in order to ascend weapons?

>overlevelled as fuck

But y'know

Demon's Souls did. You probably never played it though...

Also... why are there fog gates on boss arenas?
And... why does my character have a slight glow to them?

Demon's Souls.

>you would never know this much about the Zweihander if you didn't look it up
Are you literally retarded? There is nothing he said you can't figure out your own damn self by testing the sword.

No, I didn't, because I'm not a filthy console peasant

Nope

>Implying I ever go to butterfly at all

>10 hits with the weakest piece of shit bow and wooden arrows
Triggered guide reader right here lolol

are you him? no, so i doubt it. you all cheat the game, does no one actually learn this shit on their own anymore. goddamn casuals all of you

RPGs trained me to look at things like "stat requirements" to realize that I should use those weapons instead of the shitty ones you get in the beginning.
If you start the game and get handed a weapon that's 20 levels above your current set of stats you think... "Wow this must be really good, I can't wait to use this."

I'm not sure what kind of short bus you jumped off of but I've played video games before.

Those others things don't matter at all. Fog gates make plenty of sense on their own. Character glow? Aesthetic choice, makes no difference. Not letting people know basic information about the game? That's a problem

Thanks bro, have a (You).

This was me. Got the BKGS off the first night in the parish (I think is the one?)

Didn't even use it at first until I decided to go heavy stregth after beating Kellog and whooooa Nelly did I roll that the rest of the way

I picked up the Zweihander my own damn self, nigger. I didn't get it right at the start, because I was getting wrecked by skeletons at the time, but by simply equipping the weapon and swinging it a few times you can figure out the rest of what he said. What exactly is your problem?

It sucks that it's a lot of info about Dark is in Demon's. It's the main reason why I don't like it as much as Demon's. The whole Dark Souls series is just reselling the same engine to get more money. It's pretty obvious that no on involved really thought of it as an artistic endeavor. It's too generic and shallow to even justify it's own world.

I was pretty bad with the gargoyles and went into the forest first

None of those are stats you fucking idiot, every one of those properties are ingame enemy interactions
You can figure that out by picking up that weapon literally lying on the ground twenty feet from the starting point and using it

Do you have some sort of advanced autism?

why is it when we talk about any of the souls games it attracts the biggest losers does beating a game mean so much that you literally fume when others don't play the same or even look things up.

Wow, what amazing game design. Literally killed the game for me.

Oh yeah that's right, how did they honestly expect someone to naturally figure out how to get to the DLC?

Someone is gonna post about how it was obvious or not "as vague as you make it seem."

Fuck them. They are liars.

How are you so sure you didn't already play the DLC if you were going in blind?

desu tho I was also kind of pissed when I walked out the door expecting to go fuck off to the locations I hadn't been to yet but instead was greeted with a really confusing ending.

They shouldn't have let people get that ending if they never met kaath.

>all the drake sword shit posting acting like people who got it all used a guide
Do you faggots forget messages exist?
When you go under the bridge and see like 40 orange signs all saying “shoot tail” “ranged attack tail” and “try tail” or whatever and see the tail just dangling like that, it doesn’t take a billion IQ to figure out that hitting the tail gets you some shit.
Me personally on day 2, i thought it was some easy cheese to kill the dragon so I did it only to discover they were talking about a weapon.
Stop acting hardcore on the internet

Salty zoomers who didn't figure it out or shitposters who did use a guide

I did look up how to activate the DLC, incase it was missable and i could lock myself out of it.

It's more that people do the cheese, use the sword, and go "lol Dark Souls is HaRd GaME?"
At least with the Black Knight weapons you actually need to fight them to get them, and it isn't even guaranteed you will until the very end of the game when they're a regular, respawning enemy.

Was anyone else stupid enough to do their 1st playthrough dagger-only thinking it was viable, or was that just me?

Nope, in fact 100% of the people I know who complained about its difficulty were dex users with light armor trying to play it like Skyrim

anything is viable if you git gud

>using an overpowered weapon of unknown upgrade level
>obviously higher level character than most for that boss based on the amount of health
>still taking damage like a bitch
neck yourself.

No but I did try a Bandit Knife only playthrough as a Hollow Thief, without leveling up. It was all good until I got to Anor Londo, after beating Ornstein and Smough after way too many tries I gave up on it.
At least I got to backstab and kill a lvl 1 Invader at Anor Londo.

Light armor and dark knight sword is the way to go.

DS1>DS2>>>BB>Sekiro>>>DeS>DS3

someone's been roll caught to death a few times

I beat it without complaining with the dagger, but there was plenty of monotony, like reaching the chaos ember.

>I've literally never done an all vit build and can see that you're using a weapon that doing anything else would be a waste, but let me assume you put points in strength like me anyway and would only have my same amount of health
Absolute morons

>getting roll-caught
>when you have more rolls than your mom

I think it's just the switch version unironically

-ck and slash not worth my time

>not a denial
you gotta hesitate a half second after the hit before rolling.

that's why you only play japanese dating sims amiright?

>using miracles like denial

You say this but then the deprived starts of with the club. Which has ridiculous scaling for a starting weapon. So you can just crank up your str and bonk every enemy to death in one or two hits before they can even react.

DaS3 has some really stupid input buffering though
I can't count how many times I pressed roll a little too late and got hit, then right when my stagger is over I automatically roll and get rollcaught

>implying I waste any slots on ToD
that shits for fast-rolling havels at level 9000

Have sex.

oh yeah no joke the netcode is, and always has been since DeS, absolute shit.

From shouldn't make any game with PvP until they get that shit figured out.

Holy shit why does no one else complain about this???
It's in every fucking fromsoft game. Who the absolute fuck puts a 30-40 frame input buffer in a game?

maybe it's just my fighting game autism but goddamn

everyone fucking complains about this all the time, where have you been?

Even if you have a +3 or so club with your strength in the 20s (very easy to get early game) you literally kill the gargoyles in 3 hits each

Putting any points at all into vit means you're bad.

club's fine, just put some shards on it and it smack a bitch.

Club also has the advantage of being a weapon type that naturally interrupts certain enemy attacks, meaning you can literally stun-lock some types of enemies ontop of the huge damage.
With the club you don't need t obother parrying or blocking at all. Just bonk.

Really activates the brain cells

No I'm saying compared to raw wepaon + vit + heavy damage, uchigatana, club and black knight weapons, drake sword is an absolute joke. Slow, drains way too much stamina per swing, and its special move is comical with the windup it needs.
Black knight sword alone can carry you till something like an upgraded Claymore in late-game out scales it in stats and twinkling titanite is one of the easiest ones to get and buy.

It's there on purpose to make your movements about strategy instead of having to do perfect timing. The reason it's so large it to punish you for panicking

*raw weapon + vit. + heavy armor with Havel's ring I mean.
That build alone would trivialise most of the game.

You know what games are still difficult without you putting arbitrary restrictions on yourself?
Literally any one that isn't casual trash.

>uchigatana, club and black knight weapons, drake sword is an absolute joke
this i swapped it almost immediately for my uchigatana because it had much better reach moveset and scaling also weeb friendly

Black Knight Polearm best weapon in the game

Yeah my first playthrough was with the club and I just ended up sticking with it the whole way through because it never felt "bad".

or they shot him once, looked up and saw the damage and health bar.

Leveling health in any game that exists means you're bad.

Any game a casual like you would even know about, you mean.

For late game you can always switch to Large Club or Butchers Knife (though the latter is disgustingly good in DS3 for how easy it is to get)
But club never sucks, for whatever its lacking in you can always have a lightning Zewihander or something to cover for it.

I really did accidentally find out about it on my first play through when I was 15. I really wanted to get past the bridge but his fire attack would kill me every time, so I either loaded up on arrows or used the ones I had on me and decided to try and cheese-kill him under the bridge so I could pass.

I didn't like the large club for some reason, but I can't recall why.
