Is he really this hard or am I just terrible at video games?

git gud

Some people find certain bosses easier than others thats all it really is.

Yes, it really is hard.
Even if you're there at a normal level with fully upgraded weapons, consider him a post game boss fight.
I beat him twice around level 50 because his weapons are fucking amazing to invade Central Irithryll with and are also good for PvE

>friede was awesome
n-nani?

>he hasn't fought midir yet

KEK

lorian and lothric were the best fight in the damn game, who cares if its "fair"?

>best fight in the game
The *teleports behind you* bullshit got old real fast

I'VE KILLED 1000 SILVER KNIGHTS SO FAR

GOT SUMMONED 2 TIMES^IN THIS WHOLE TIME

I'VE KILLED A WHOLE RACE OF SILVER KNIGHTS

WHY DO I EVEN FARM THESE

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Don't rely on lock-on during the first phase.
Second phase should be easier since he is slow as fuck but don't get too greedy when you get an opening since he also hits like a truck.

He's a boss of a hidden area so expect him to be hard.

His first phase is poorly designed because they forced the semi hidden Bloodborne visceral mechanic into it, which is oddly only found in a few other spots like with the Sulyvahn Beasts.

And he hits like a truck. So yeah, he's hard.

>tfw no Silver Knight Spear
They really fucked up

The virgin dorkmoon vs the chad invader.

feels so good knowing i already have darkmoon blade on my characters from back when the game launched

first phase is a mess, second phase is about knowing the right time to attack and stamina management
if you're low on stamina and hes open for you to attack use that time to heal or recover your stamina, only attack him if you're feeling comfy about doing it

he reminds me of fume knight (minus the stupid hitboxes) and artorias, you cant really just go full brainlet mode and spam r1

you will get him eventually, took me about 20 tries using the FUGS and only one using the estoc

>The virgin dorkmoon vs the chad invader
lol i'd jerk you off for that

I dont even get the chance to meet an invader

SL120
Fuck this game

tfw dark souls 2 on the ps3 is more active than dark souls 3

sister Friede, mostly phase 3, is pretty up there in the bullshit souls bosses tier list
no idea how you are having such a hard time with KotS
the bird is a joke and all his attacks are pretty telegraphed

It's a lot easier to invade and get invasions if you don't take your character past level 60 or +6 weapons.
Take that as you will.
Yes, that even means beating the dlc underleveled for crucifix of the mad king or beating nameless king around that level for the lightning spear.

going for the achievo with a lvl 110 char was a pain in the ass because of this
took me a whole day of farming silver knights
the only other option was to restart with a low lvl char to invade as a blue boi AND THEN go look for the miracles

Dumb gimmick boss that fucks your camera angle up constantly is nowhere near the best

The camera angles in P1 are what's giving me the biggest headache since locking onto him is just out of the question. The few times I got to P2 I was just having a hard time picking when to attack him. I was using a Greatsword of Judgment but I went and made a +10 Crystal Lothric straightsword thinking a faster weapon would be better for a fight like this.

I know I'll eventually "git gud" enough to kill him but goddamn this is wearing me down.

I enjoyed the shit out of that fight, P3 in particular was fun, it felt like Maria all over again which was also a stellar fight. Oddly enough P1 was the part that I had the worst time with, second time I got her to P3 I was able to down her

This so hard

I stopped getting invaded after the Abyss Watchers fight and even then it was mostly by twinks. I remember I was in the early game swamp area full of crabs and some half naked asshole ran at me with a crazy ass weapon I later found out was Friede's Scythe. It was absurdly one sided.

the dragon part is worse than the fight with the actual guy himself

>It's a lot easier to invade and get invasions if you don't take your character past level 60 or +6 weapons.
It really doesn't matter. Fear of high level invasions is just psychological and doesn't reflect reality.

>Fear of high level invasions is just psychological and doesn't reflect reality.
what?

>P3 in particular was fun
how did you manage to not get stunlocked to death multiple tries in a row?
summons or solo?

I invade at 100+ all the time and it's not more difficult. End game and dlc areas are superior for invasions too.

>able to beat freide and demon princes
>still can't beat nameless king

either you cheesed the fuck out of those first two fights, or you got carried via summons. Nameless King is a joke, literally the only hard part is fighting the camera when he rides the storm chicken in P1

Solo, I used the Gael summon a couple of times but stopped after I realized he was only there after P1 and that's where I was having the most trouble.

Dark Souls isn't hard

>Greatsword of judgement
Great fucking taste.

If you want tips for the fight though, phase 1 just stay under him whenever he swings his spear around. Phase two is about getting a hit or two in after he does that bullshit 4 hit combo or the 3 lunges. Alternatively you can just wail on him when he does the weird jumping attack thing. But when he gets to half health, just wait for the lightning strike, the lightning stomp, or the bullshit 4 hit combo to beat the shit out of him.
Also, user, I need to be real with you for a second.
If I could beat him at level 30 with +0 weapons, you can beat him around levels 70-90 with a +10 weapon

>end game is superior
>you can't invade in the catacombs, demon ruins, Ithryll or profaned capital
>superior

Maybe if you said cathedral of the deep. Grand archives and both DLCs are better than those.

If you want to invade in the cathedral you need to be around level 30 with +3 weapons though.
I have another character just for invading there and the road of sacrifices, it's nothing but twinks though
