The crossbow can destroy terrain.

That hint should get you moving.

Down there is optional areas. The other side of the bridge that breaks down is how you progress the game

You don't even need to know this to progress. OP, are you fucking blind? You must have spent all but 30 seconds running around that place before making this thread, didn't you?

OK what the fuck is this?

I just bought it and started playing it.
I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.

You know how you can make friends with the giant? If you go up and talk to it, it'll help you in a boss fight.

I guarantee you most people went about this area running towards the snake and straight to the fire demon.

you have to stab the iudex

watch out for the big black worm at halfway

Hi!
Welcome to this completely pointless area that is optional.
I hope you enjoy the recycled boss and the treasure hunting user!

He's in a fucking underground cave. The giant doesn't help you there. Feel free to stop posting whenever.

why, my peanus weenus of course

No, the worm idiot. I was using the giant as an example of the fact you can make friends with previously hostile people.

OP, the worm will attack you, but get close enough to talk to it and it'll help you in the next boss fight.

Speak with the worm
It will grant you your final undead bone shard

>mfw this part
>mfw when ptsd flashbacks to lost izalith

Got over it quickly though this area is honestly not that hard once you get your bearings

I ran around the snake and up the ridge to the bonfire. didn't even know there was a another way into the tomb until I had already shut down the ballista and killed all the crabs.

I'm a newfag to this game.
What do I need to know to get good?
I feel like the little guide it came with isn't enough.
I already chose the Assassin class and I feel like I fucked up.

That's Solaire!

classes only really matter for the gear you start with, not the most important thing in the end unless you want to min-max super hard

Kill the dogs first.
Armor isn't as useful as you might think, it's mostly for fashion.
Patience is key, rushing will get you killed.
Dodging is often more valuable than blocking, but blocking will still save you if you don't have the confidence.
Kill the dogs first.

I actually did that Senpai

Playing the game wrong

wat, there's another way? Where?

I really like how crossbows work in this one. I wish you could dual wield them like in 2. I want to do a crossbow run. Please fix this Sup Forums

The darker colored fellers can be a bit savage at times, user.

shai hulud

APPARENTLY, From wanted you to run away from snek and instead use the balista to blow a hole into a wall that takes you through the ruins and around the snake.

I didn't know that was possible, how do you do that?

Dumb fucking question: you can't actually speak to the worm right? I just always let it get killed by the ballista.

No, all Demons died in Dark Souls 3. Forgot the reason but it's explained why.

Also the giant ballista can be neutralized, just don't give up m8.

>tfw some fucking asshole invades me with artorias' armor
>ARTORIAS, THE ARTHUR DAYNE OF DARK SOULS

fuck that guy

My nigger

it's implied lorian knocked izalith into ash lake when he fucked the demon prince up.
he's the guy behind all the dead capra and taurus demons piled up everywhere.

The exact positioning is difficult, but it's possible. Once you do so, it'll shoot lightning over the wall at the boss then give you the bone shard when the boss dies. It's hard to do it if the ballista is still working, so turn it off first.

>high vit

you don't need more than the 15 vit that knights start with because armor does nothing

>spend a fucking hour+ turning off the ballista, including keep getting killed by that dual-wielding edgelord guarding it
>fine work, etc
>go back down to the lake
>immediately spot a wall with an item behind it, instinctively know it's a ring or a spell
>check online
>it is
>back we go to turn the fucking thing back on again

fuck this game sometimes

The funny part is that the dogs advice is more helpful here than in 1 . Those fuckers can teleport now.

OP may be retarded, but I doubt he's that retarded.

Well I tried at least.

>he didn't talk to the worm

>Those fuckers can teleport now.

That fucking area in Irithyll immediately after room with the Silver Knights. Fuck those dogs.

pls help. there's this tree thing being worshiped in a castle and I do not know how to kill it.

Hit the white ball things.

the worm will guide you
how many people missed this questline?

She never took another pupil after the first MC? ;__;

she had kirk

Your starting weapon is the Estoc, upgrade it and R1 everything to death.

What's a good staff for int builds? I've never done one in any souls game so I'm looking for something to build to.

Hit the eggs. The arm that comes out halfway through the fight is also a weak point. Run in front of him, get him to stand up, and when he falls down his arm is vulnerable.

thx

Why bother aiming weapons. I recommend going full Dex and swing wildly with a Uchikatana.

WHO THE FUCK IS THISA

You guy who just killed your bitch ass.

Really? I just ran/rolled past the snake and then continued rolling just out of range of the snakes's attacks until the Ballista killed the snake for me.

I beat the game once and can't bring myself to play it again
what's wrong with me?

>run through the giant worm while it's coiling about
>crossbow shoots through it trying to get me
>worm is dead in under a minute

>all these people who had the ballista kill the worm
>not just slicing the shit out of it when it coils up

>not just standing afar and shooting with arrows

Underrated post

This. Just sat on the ledge outside the bonfire and pelted the worm with bolts from my +2 light crossbow.

The ballista kills the snek? I tried that and it didn't work.

...

You have to position yourself behind the worm

This seems like a decent thread to ask so why the fuck is the boss right at the start of smouldering lake?

>go up to the ballista intending to settle the score with whoever is operating that thing
>expect a giant demon hellbeast with aviator goggles
>there's nobody there
>the ballista has an automatic targeting system
>stop it by flippping the on/off switch
>mfw

because its an optional area. so fucking whatever throwshandasup.jpg

this, they could at least put a regular skelethon there just for the giggles but fuck players

Because it's super obvious that DaS3 was rushed as all hell.

i also felt this was weird

I can't even get past the first boss.
How fucked am I?

well considering you cant get past it, id say pretty bad

This. I was expecting another asshole giant. Literally pushing a switch was just anti-climatic.

This.

>weird corruption thing that seems like it's going to be a huge part of the game isn't touched on at all
>severe lack of armor sets
>incredibly short
>entire areas completely reused

The game could have been so good.

>severe lack of armor sets

are you fucking serious?

>See webm of someone throwing alluring skull into lava to kill him
>Remember it a week and a whole playthrough later
>Having trouble with him
>Try it
>It fucking works

Beautiful

Fuck the drop rate on these

The ears from the silver knights dropped more than these shits

i shot him with an arrow from the bridge above and he aggro'd into the lava.

this of course was after 5 tries of him kicking my shit in

You're fine, the series just has a steep learning curve. I beat Dark Souls 1 in 50 hours but six of that was me repeatedly dying to the second boss.

Just keep at it. There are basically four strats to cycle through when trying to kill a boss:

>hope there's a safespot in front of his groin
>hope there's a safespot behind his ass
>hope there's a safespot next to his hips
>try keeping your distance, give him hit & run tactics, and always backroll away after a single strike

Compared to DaS2 it's laughable, and most of them look like total shit because they used Bloodborne's weird fucking character models.

Ok.

Says a lot about what the majority player demographic is when everybody parrots that armor does nothing

What part of 10-30% mitigation is nothing? That's 10-30% EFFECTIVELY MORE HEALTH

babies and DS2 bed wetters have taken over

put the mimic head and try this
youtube.com/watch?v=5N55zKFq7l0

I wasn't happy with the models in 3 at all. Why the fuck is everyone's head so tiny? Also there's no good hats in the game unless I just missed a pharris style one somewhere.

>angry hellbeast monster starts combo hitting me
>instinctively scream "NO DAD NO!" and spam dodge rolls

Does anybody else do this?

>my opinion is correct.
stop that nonsense

Have been doing that with 415 item discovery. I get 1 or 2 per hour.

I got 30 ears with 362 item discovery in 2 and a half hours

Why is this game full of retards who can't read a situation.

The intended route is to bait the ballista to shoot at the lighted platform in the middle, blowing a hole in it which leads to the "2nd" bonfire if going snek route first.

thanks man, appreciate the tips
I just beat him too, I kept losing because I wasn't shielding properly, and my parrying timing was off

I did, I went right through the bastard and my ass.

>Ds2 players

what about actually invading people?

The damage absorption percentage is misleading and doesn't represent the actual percentage of DA. After 20% you start seeing diminishing returns and after 30% almost nothing.

Why are you farming vertebrae shackles? The grape covenant actually works unlike Dorkmoons or Woofers.
