Thats not even a boss you mong. Unless you meant to post Dancer in which case you're still wrong

I would stick it in that bum.

Molest the AI range with arrows. That's how every enemy who isn't a boss dies easily.

giant crab>literally any enemy or boss in the series

parry it?

i've still never bothered to kill one of those bitches

Literally the Sharkmen from Bloodborne, the two at the bottom of the well killed me more than O&S

just parry it bro

>Havel's Greatshield

Woah where did the challenge go

I'm really trash at DS games but that boss has never really been a stumper for me. I legitimately had more trouble with the fucking crystal witch bitch earlier in the game than her.

It was the hardest my dick was ever playing the souls series that's for sure.

>Literally the hardest boss in the entire Dark Soul series.

What about the Hippo fucks from DS2? Even if you're at max level there's no point in ever fighting them up close.

>lets balance the whole gameplay around the concept of iframes because we can't be assed to make challenging but avoidable attack patterns with reliable hitboxes
>except let's make this one guy completely ignore them

How anyone still thinks From is a good developer is beyond me.

Not all that hard so long as you completely ignore your instincts and run right up to it's face. Most attacks will leave a window for one strike, and evading until you get them to use their spit attack lets you get in a couple solid blows. Honestly, my biggest issue with the crabs is their schizophrenic aggro radius, I'll sometimes be 5ft from them and they won't know I'm there, other times I can be on the opposite side of the map and the fucker is charging at light speed to slap me with his shitty claw.

I really, really struggled with the "knight hunter" or whatever his name was, scripted das3 invader. He fucked me up so many times that I ended up kiting him into a mutually aggressive silver knight and then cheap shotted the winner

Went back to DS1 the other day, nailed O&S on my second go. They felt.... slower? And more predictable than I remembered

I never really got parrying in Dark Souls, I could never figure out where in the shield's animation the actual parry window would begin.

anyone that knows FROMs history should know that they aren't a good technical developer. they are pretty good at making atmospheric games, even the slow paced fuckfest that is the kings field series had great atmosphere, but technically speaking they usually release shit that is buggy as fuck

most of the people that think from is god tier, generally only became aware of them with the souls series, where they finally had some mainstream success, they just are ignorant to the 30+ years of history leading up to the souls series

wut gaem???

Between the enemy placement of 2&3 and the speed of everything in 3&BB, DS1 is a noticeably tamer game.

Not that anything I just said makes 2, 3 or BB better made games, they're just more frustrating to get though.

Finished all three games, parried exactly ONCE and I think it was by accident

shhhh the entire point of darksouls is that everyone ignores that shields exist

Is that some goblin slaying I see?

I get so sick of dealing with people who are From Software "fans" and act like you're the devil incarnate for suggesting their beloved dev might be flawed in any way, shape or form. I love AC, Souls and King's Field but I'm more than happy to admit they each have their fair share of problems. You can like something or someone while still being aware, and critical, of it's faults.

The "if you like a developer that means you have to suck their dick non-stop" mentality is infuriating.

its a game with solid combat but basically nonexistant content, don't worry bout it, its a troll post if he is implying this is a good game

Yeah I came straight from 3, immediately noticed the ludicrously long wind-up animations for some attacks. I just shot gwynevere in the face and called it a day, very little trouble all in all, although I have less experience with the game from this point on

Also I still didn't try my luck with the titanite demons because fuck those guys

Severance.

lol are you the same faggot who made a thread just about that enemy?
Fucking give up on playing Dark Souls.
You can kill the first one on level 1 with no problem.

Only if you're a shield baby

Most Armored Core games were more than fine technically, kid. Quit pretending like you know shit just because you downloaded King's Field II for PSOne and played half an hour of it.

This. I fucking marvel at people who had enough problems with fucking hippos of all enemies to start hating them. I mean, hippos definitely are not the best-designed enemies in the series, but they're also entirely inconsequential.

>Humanoid knight enemy
>Unable to stand properly and constantly walks like a dog
I hate this stupid DS3 meme, a shitton of enemies and bosses do this shit

It's supposed to represent succumbing to bestial instincts and shit.

And also probably another fucking Berserk reference to how Guts gets when he's in the armor.

Whatever you say, buddy.

There are like 2 enemies in DS3 who are like that.
The outrider knights and Vordt (the Dancer walks in a weird way but not on all fours).

thats not the fire salamander

man Berserk has really shit the bed hasn't it.

you spin me right round baby right round

>ballsack_simulator.exe

sry, forgot the obligatory "git gud"

They're all outrider knights btw. It's in the lore. I think the armor eventually makes them beast like.

don't these things get poisoned really easily?

Do you guys know of any sl1(or just low level) playthrough of DS3 similar to this one for DS1?
Main selling point is not running away from enemy encounters and just fight the bosses.

Not armor, but the rings that Pobtiff Sullicahn gave all of them, left and right eye rings, one tgat heals you if you constantly atacks, other boosts your damage if you constantly atack. Final stage of the knights are giant dog things in Irithil, that realy looks like Guts wolf

>they're easy to cheese so their bad design doesn't matter

knight slayer tsorig wasnt an invader and it was a black knight that you can lead him to.
nonetheless the guy is a fucking beast.
