Just got to the swamp area. Jesus Christ, what a clusterfuck.
>giant intoner constantly summoning phantom archers and nights
>six gorillion Bloodborne fleas that can also cast magic
>small monks everywhere constantly spamming their ring of death
>half a dozen fat Dark Souls heads guys lurking about
>brigade of Ringed Knights buffing themselves non-stop
I'm all for a challenge but this just seems really fucking excessive.
Time to git gud
Is it though? You can still just run through everything. Or kill everything. What is killing you?
Harald knights have joke-tier forecasts and attack range.
Small Monks as you call them are literally retarded and can't kill you unless you literally STAND STILL.
Bloodborne fleas do stuff? I thought they just walked around/ran from you and died. The big ones are tanky for NG, but still, they have sum total of 3 attacks that all have like 4 second windups. "Scary".
The intoner is the worst part of it, and I did find this enemy to be poorly designed. However, try walking up and biting his ankles until he dies.
Ringed Knights are incredibly susceptible to parrying. Did you struggle on Pontiff, too, you whiny little nu-gamer bitch?
Go play Hello Kitty.
It's supposed to be excessive. That's why the devs even recommend you be level 120-130.
At that part I just said "Fuck it" and ran through. I even picked everything up, enemies there are fucking slow and tend to give up following you rather easily.
that's what happens when you play through the game with a small army of phantom buttbudies
I just started running past anything when I learned the hard way that the giants respawn
maybe im retarded but in all my DS3ing (ng+++ was my last play) the only area ive legit had trouble getting past is the run from the chapel into the cathedral of deep, those fucking women with the twin daggers legit fuck my shit up especially when i pull two at a time
How in the world are you triggering the judicator so much? He only ever summoned archers when I needed to get the item he walked around in the center. Are you just impatient and don't pay attention to where he is?
I SHALL PARTAKE
Did they seriously say that? I'm SL84 right now. 50 DEX using Crow Quills and Friede's Scythe.
>why is this optional endgame challenge area so hard?
Yeah. You're retarded. Legit. That run along the outside of the Cathedral is one of the easiest segments of the game.
>Dies to grave wardens
How.
why them in particular? why not the carthus ninja skellys or the dlc corvian rapier knights? they're all very fast and aggressive
Just look up where the items you need are at beforehand, then run straight for them and skip everything.
It's the only way to not lose your mind, you can't do a full clear of that place on 1 round of estus
>fighting the dragonslayer armour
>accidentally trigger the giant
Maybe you should not use such shitty pve weapons.
I bet you've also got stupidly low defenses and health because you've sunk most all your points into dex.
I've got like 30 VIT and 25 STA.
>Not killing everything and the armor last
Stamina at 25?
The most important stat in the game to get to softcap regardless of spec and you've only got it at 25?
Git gud.
I thought it was pretty generous in terms of how much space it gives you that you can use to fight it without aggroing everything around it.
I always expect soulsbourne games force me to manage aggro ranges constantly.
Even if you don't parry ringed knights, it's extremely easy to just dodge and overwhelm them with your own strikes. They were rather disappointing, with spear ones being slightly more challenging than the sword ones.
There were just two places where I struggled in this DLC, and both you can learn to deal with.
>that corridor with two groups of big guys with tons of HP, until I found out you can do a special plunging attack on them
>midir until I learned where the fuck to stand and never get hit
thanks for spoiling it fucktard
Wrong, he should be sinking health at 40 minimal, and stamina will be made up for with ring of favor+3.
I think youre legit trolling, user.
>Just got to the swamp area
Which one :^)
>the final dlc for Dark Souls had to have two swamps
>not even something like a trudge through the Abyss
>just a poisonous swamp because they randomly brought back Earthen Peak and a normal swamp
