probably a mimic until you learn where they are

The silly chilly rape horses

the lothric knights with the spear/tower shield in DaS3. For some reason i have the most trouble with them.

flame salamanders below cardinal tower bonfire

With curved twinblades, same.
Another playthrough, they became easy peasy with a two handed battleaxe or straightsword. Just pound their shield until they relent and get stunlocked, or their guard breaks and you can riposte (or just stunlock them whatever)

These guys literally have 0ms reaction time. I think they're coded to jump backwards as soon as you press attack

Mace-wielding faggots from DaS2 with infinite stamina.

...

Those dog beast things in Irithyll.

...

Crabs

Holy shit this, these are terrifying

Tfw people don't know to just look at the chain

Fuck these assholes. They at least don't appear in any other place.

Those dagger snakemen in fucking Dragonpeak.
No wind up, they have superarmor for their brushstroke attacks, and overall they can just go suck my fucking dick.

>that one with the chain axe

In for double penetration around the Water Reserve Bonfire.

>stunlock protected jumping stomp-attack

Fuck that noise.

>not shooting one arrow to pull them in for separate fights

Carthus Rouge

If these things didn't get fucked by fire they'd easily be the hardest

>Not being a man and assuming the position

You can just walk over to the one on the left to lure him away from the other one anyway.

It's Bloodborne, but whatever.

Pussy

they actually didnt pose that much of a challenge for me but i think its because i saw that enemy before on stream and i knew what to expect

Fuck Cathedral Knights god damn. The ones with the Holy maces fuck me up.

why would you not just try and attack it first? also its not that hard to kill.

the mini vordt just before you get into the swamp area is my vote.

fuck those guys

7

You see, the ones with the greatsword fuck me up because then they don't have a shield to cower behind while I break their shit in.

They're super easy, just roll behind them and backstab, like all spear wielding enemies.
The ones with greatswords though, they're alright until you take your first hit then they become scary as shit.

The chain tell has been in DaS1, and DaS2 punished hitting the chest by breaking it (even if one hit isn't enough to break it, I didn't like doing it). Dunno if you can still break chests.

J-JUST LET ME FUCKING HEAL, YOU FUCKER

I uninstalled after I lost 140k souls to one of those.
>Throws axe straight up so I can't see it
>Falls on me and kills me
>Run back
>Throws axe straight at me
>Dodge
>He pulls it back and it kills me on the way back top his hand
I just don't feel like playing any more.

Well in DaS 2 there was a way to see if it was a mimic.

Mimics have locks

Losing souls in DS3 means nothing, there's no soul memory and they're super easily regained.
I just got 195K souls for doing the Grand Archives with a friend.

Why would you carry so many souls on you

He only keeps swinging like crazy if he hits your shield y'see. Now those assholes with ther warpicks y'know? That guy is a complete asshole, crazy swining ALL DAY and he can block, then BASH YOU.

They removed breakable chests, and thank fucking god they did.

On my dagger run with 40 luck and a cartus rouge they lasted a good 5 seconds

This. The chain axe faggots are the worst. Nothing else compares.

Because I was like level 140 and on ng++
Yeah, it's just depressing.

This.

>that double shark fight

JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP, FROM

The black knight archers in Anor Londo in the first Dark Souls

>That's a nice bridge you're standing on. It would be a shame if someone set the entire thing on fire with only a split-second warning, killing you instantly

Their shields are practically useless, though. The greatsword guys give me the most trouble, since they attack in pairs and have attacks that hit through your shield.

Man, all of the Drakekeepers were tough, except the regular sword ones.

...

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG

Oh that's not much of a loss then. Some of the consumable souls give you like 20k souls and are everywhere in NG+. You could also get the Silver Serpent +2, Want Shield and Mimic helmet for like double souls. Are you just leveling up indefinitely?

Not to say those chain guys aren't assbags because they are

The axe wielding big hollow in tight spaces. He will instawreck you unless you pull him into a more spacious arena.

I HATE HIM

Oh yeah, pairs. It's funny but SotFS's has the dragon dudes just bow to you and watch you fight each Drakekeeper one on one. Then you climb the steps and they watch you fight a dragon man with two axes.

Well you know what they say about axe murderers and tight spaces.

...

Fuck these guys

I was leveling every time I could. I don't stick to the 120 meta or whatever. I don't gank and had way of blue for invasions.

One kick and they get guard broken
After i discovered this they became one of the easiest enemies

these things as a caestus/bone fist character are pure torture

I wouldn't hate them if they didn't fly halfway across the map once you hit them and get up super fucking quick too.

What a shit enemy.

Is the kick still fucked up from 60fps? I swear it's harder to time than DaS1 was.

>No one posting that curse-spider beast thing
Literally the worst enemy in the game. At least in the Cathedral you have the option to cheese it through the door. That one before Aldrich fucked my shit up too many times though.

I don't think one has ever killed me in 4 playthroughs, what the hell do they do to you?

circle to your right with your shield up, backstab
rinse and repeat

...

I killed both of them before they could curse me, didn't get bitten until NG++

They can fucking bite you? They can curse you? What even happens when you get cursed? May I never find out.

Every attack they do builds up curse. So if you haven't got a good shield they can fuck you up.

the lmao2knyf snek in archdragon peak can go suck dicks with their stupid midair flips

the big axe one is also annoying because it follows you everywhere and it clips through walls

then there's the fucking chain axe who can also go suck a dick, the fucking axe can hit you in firelink shrine if they will it so

also those annoying punting lizards with 900000 hp who interrupt their rolling animations but then continue as normal

Well if you were planning to at least stop at some point or were just trying to buy spells/materials too I think this is probably the fastest way for getting souls right now. I did this to get my character to 120 before NG+ and buy all the spells and didn't take very long

I forgot about one other item that gives souls too the Mendicant Staff but since you're NG++ and have access to the +2 ring and enemies just give more souls you don't need every equipment piece but will make it all the better

youtube.com/watch?v=iPdSPbijimk

You get a curse bar that causes you to insta die if it fills up. It fills up rather quickly

curse is instant death I think

top hardest enemies go here, no particular order though

1.Havel The Rock
2.icy hedgehog thing from dark souls 2
3.Yellowfinger H. from dark souls 3
4.giant crab enemy that is friends with yellowfinger h.
5.headless giant enemy with spilling lava from dark souls 2 memory of old iron king DLC
6.Mimics
8.the FUCKING BOREAL ESCORT KNIGHT
9.the UFKCKINGG DARKWRAITH KNIGHTS IN DARK SOULS 3 THEY WERE EASY PEASY IN 1 HOW COULD THEY GET SO STRONG WITH TIME JESUS CHRIST LITERALLY NON STOP BARRAGE OF WIDE RANGE ATTACKS THAT DEAL HUEG DAMAGE
10.Ogres

>Try this
>Knight repeatedly shield bashes to drain all of my stamina

Havel the rock is piss easy, though. Just roll behind him when he attacks, backstab, repeat.

>DARKWRAITH KNIGHTS IN DARK SOULS 3 THEY WERE EASY PEASY IN 1 HOW COULD THEY GET SO STRONG WITH TIME JESUS CHRIST LITERALLY NON STOP BARRAGE OF WIDE RANGE ATTACKS THAT DEAL HUEG DAMAGE

You have to think about it this way, in 1 they were submerged underwater for god knows how long.

These guys fuck my shit up everytime

>buy dark souls 3
>think its my gtx 650 thats causing me to run about 14fps
>go out today and buy a 960
>boosts my fps from a constant 13-25 to 20-40
>on low
>find out its my intel i3-4370, and the lowest is a i3-2100
Does anyone know an easy way to fix this without going out to buy an i5/i7? I tried overclocking my i3, but I just ended up fucking up my pc. I am not very good at computers, but have a basic understanding. Pls help.

Havel wasn't too bad, all you had to do was lead him upstairs and do jumping attacks down on him

>backstab
>not parrying the shit out of him

THEY'RE WEAK TO FIRE?!
HOLY FUCK. I HATED CONSUMED KING'S GARDEN SO FUCKING MUCH BECAUSE OF THESE ASSHOLES!

>with your shield up

From DeS to DaS3, I've never used a shield.

Maybe I'll try a shield build someday.

in dark souls 3 they were stuck in a sea of poisonous sewage shit with cancer spreading rastafari goat people

darkwraiths had a hard life...

>Beat DLC bosses 1st attempt EZ PZ
>Drop down a well
Fuck my asshole got ripped to shreds over and over

havel is incredibly easy to parry/backstab
ice hedgehogs are annoying but not THAT annoying
heysel is super easy just stand between her and something, her AI bugs out, kremhild is a lot tougher
the crabs are shit i agree, especially since you have to fight most of them in water
FUCK THOSE GIANTS ESPECIALLY ALSO FUCK EVERYTHING IN IRON PASSAGE ESPECIALLY THOSE WHORES WHO CAST TWOP BUT ESPECIALLY THOSE 3 NIGHTMARES ON NG++ BEFORE COOL RANCH SMELTER
i dont understand why everyone has so many problems with mimics, just roll under them lmao
knights require fast weapons otherwise you're fucked
parry, but agree, dude poise lmao, 4 fucking hits from a straight sword to stun
stand behind ogres and they just do their buttslam repeatedly

I don't really understand what's so great about this bossfight lore.

Bonewheel for Dark Souls 1.
Disc Chime for Dark Souls 2.

They had food.

FUCK THOSE THINGS
God damn nothing else in this game has creeped me out as much as those fucking things and I'm including the Grudge/handsy silverfish things.

The one in the cathedral dropped on me while I was scanning the room for threats and I dropped my goddamn controller.

Same here. The one before Farron woods is easy peasy, no pressure with the nearby bonfire. Maybe it's even less aggressive. But every other Outrider Knight fucks me up big time.

I suppose technically this is true, Mimics deal a shitload of damage on all their attacks but once you learn which ones are Mimics you can easily destroy them before they can even get up.

Those twirly faggots near sully that are everywhere.

Or the greatbow fucks in londo, I swear those nigs have aimbot.

>throw fire bombs until they get into burning animation
>attack a few times
>move back and repeat

yeah i always backstab them of the first lunge when they dont spam the shield bash

it's easier with a shield, just dodge when they do the first lunge and you should be able to backstab them

Yes, now that I know that they are weak to fire they won't be a huge issue. Playing them blind/normally it's pretty tricky though.

PONTIFF KNIGHT AWFULNESS RATING

THAT ONE ASSHOLE WITH THE SCYTHE>SWORD (LMAO INFINITE SPIN)>SWORD AND BOARD

>One flies up and through the wall
>One jumps backwards and kills itself even though it has wings
>One Turns around as I'm behind it and pushes me off the edge
Worst area in the game

How come "the last remaining darkwraith" is said to be imprisoned (red eye orb guy), yet they seems to roam freely around swamp zone?

>summoned to game
>walk over to chest to make sure the host knows it's there
>enemy I didn't see lunges at me and destroys the chest in the process
S-sorry, senpai.

FromSoft HQ
>Does this enemy have a shield? No?
>Increase aggression by 200%

Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Lothric bullshit probably.
