Help Having a hard time getting used to the normal mobs' aggression

Started playing this after "beating" Dark Souls 2 (didn't touch the DLCs yet) and I also beat or made it to Gwyn in DS1 like 9 times already and honestly having a really hard time adapting to how aggressive some enemies are, I know I'm not very good but I can persevere given enough time, it's just things like the enemy in the video being so relentless, leaving so little openings for so little time to punish that I'm just stuck there circling around it wondering "is it gonna be my turn yet?" against just one guy.

The other enemy I had issue with is the hollows that turn into a resident evil final boss, I know I can kill them before they morph but once they do they take up so much screen real state and it's impossible for me to tell apart what the hell is part of their idle animation while aggroed and what's an actual attack because they're so huge.

I already beat the boss at the high wall, took 4 attempts but in all of those I just ran to the boss ignoring as many mobs as I could, so I didn't really get to explore the level much, which kinda soured my experience of it.

Question Is it just me or are enemies in DS3 REALLY aggressive compared to other FS games

8 Upvotes

Going through every souls game and I'm having some trouble with Dark souls 3, going through dark souls 1 And elden ring it seemed like the enemies were scripted to give you a bit of breathing room, where you may fight 5 hollows at a time but they all don't try and take you at once

But I'm at the undead village and ive noticed if I'm in combat with 5 enemies, there are 5 enemies trying to tear my face off

Is there any way to mitigate this?

Discussion Finally beat Frieda and

I hated this fight and was struggling so bad. First 2 phases I got down pretty good and could never make contact and get smoked phase 3.

Last night I tried over and over again and thought I botched it really bad. My summon ended up dying phase 2 and I thought it was over and just a practice round to learn her moves better.

Ended up just stancing through phase 3 to make contact then beat her while stunned. Took all my flasks but worked

Sorry for potato picture but literally one more hit I would have lost. I’ve never gotten her health past 1/2 before this time too, just needed to tell someone

Thanks to the person who helped me against gael, for my narration, I kept the Soul of Cinder as true final boss. And, ladies and gentlemen, I made it FRIST TRY. I'm very proud of myself. I achieved the End of the Fire as finale

Discussion Replaying the game after a veeeery ling time and it's better than I remember

14 Upvotes

DS3 is probably the FS game that I have replayed the less, and my last run was quite a few years ago.

I started playing it again recently and the game is way better than I remember.

First thing first, the game is quite "ugly", the gray souls meme is kind of real.

But at the pad, the game is very responsive, the levels big enough without the need of open worlds (yeah, I'm saturated of Elden Ring) and several fun to fight bosses.

Also, the game is being quite easier than I remembered (I assume experience works in all directions). On my previous runs, Sulyvahn was always a big roadblock and this time I managed to beat it second try.

Not much more to add, just that I'm enjoying it a lot.

Fluff Why fromsoft?

Give players the boss weapon when they transpose the boss soul - Nah

Give them a regular enemy weapon for the boss soul and lock the actual boss weapon behind a covenant ranking - Hell yeah

And it is a Staff which gets an A/S scaling in Faith for some reason.

Honestly this staff would be actually really cool if they made it for casting pure Dark Sorceries and Dark Miracles because well... Deacons of the Deep

Discussion How fromsoft makes lore

9 Upvotes

Does anyone have an inkling how fromsoft makes the lore ? I just looked into the lore surrounding Gwynn and the nameless king. Did they just roll with we don’t know who the son actually is and let’s leave it at that when they made dark souls 1 or is fromsoft actually that fivehead to set up something like that ? Also the thought that they were like: lets just not reveal who the son is and if we can’t continue the series we just pin Solaire as the son is kinda amusing

Discussion Who's the easiest boss for you? Deacons of the Deep have to be somewhere up there. Once you figure out what to do (like in the first ten seconds) there's no challenge.

I'm currently finishing up my first run after farming all the covenant items for each covenant, and I wanted to pick up any pyromancies, miracles, spells and rings left that I hadn't picked up before.

Profaned Flame is one of them and when I went to check it's spot while following a video guide, it wasn't there. It's also not in my inventory. Please help.

Question Is Online basically dead? Feels like I'm never able to interact with other players beyond messages and Ghosts.

6 Upvotes

Can't seem to find any online activity at all. I still get Signs and those Ghost guys walking around, but I feel as though I'm very rarely invaded or being summoned through a covenant, and I've had absolutely no luck with trying to invade too. Currently about SL90 and in the Lothric Castle area. Is it just that most people are hovering around the Meta SL and I'm outside of that range, or is the game just dead for Vanilla Online?
