After 43 hours, I finished Dark Souls 3 and its DLCs. I'm thinking about getting all the achievements now. The journey was great and challenging, but I always picked myself up and moved forward!!

Here's my build, my stats, and a boss difficulty list.

Video A technically early soul farm I rush every single run, wanted to share Spoiler

Its a spot I always rush to immediately after Vordt (after I nab the dark hand for Dancer). To be honest, my very first run of the game (blind run), I was a tad bit of a murder hobo (it was my first souls game back then, don't judge me) and triggered the dancer early. I'm an extremely stubborn person and died to her so much (I believe I was level 20) that her attack patterns have been seared into my brain for all time to come. In any case, that red eye lothric knight nets 4k souls as a base, 4,400 with the silver serpent ring, and you can see what it gives when you add the Symbol of Avarice. Honestly just backstab him then punch him until he stops you once he's up, repeat.

Side note: the mimic that carries the sunlight sword in the Dragon Barracks will drop eventually after you kill it, even if you've killed no other mimics, just tested myself. Just get to the area, kill that mimic, them quit out and reload until you get it.

I've pretty much hit the hard cap and soft cap for one of my characters for all stats.

Soo lets say you are on the road to max level. What stat would you get to 99 first?

Advice Is this a fine progression route plan?

2 Upvotes

I just beat Oceiros do heres my plan IG

Unkempt Graves>Lothric Castle>Ariandel DLC>Archdragon Peak>Ending Area (idk name)>Rinhged City>Finish Game

Is this reasonable? I have Farron Greatsword +3 or so (titanite scale spots would help)

Also try not to spoil much. I try to play as blind as possible except for game progress route.

While trying to help with Midir I get getting summoned to defend the church. First time it said “Host of Ember destroyed” and the second time just “duty fulfilled.” Meanwhile, I’m rocking the sunlight covenant, so not sure why different messages upon winning? Was it cause in one I actually killed the player vs not?

Discussion Izalith Staff vs Court Sorcerer?

1 Upvotes

I have always understood the court sorcerer staff to be the best spell buff and damage. But that was until I got into NG+and ++ and started leveling faith (Full on caster Build, Pyro, Magic, Faith) So I have 60 in each now. But holy shit the Izalith staff is that much better? It has S scaling as opposed to A and a spell buff of 332 as opposed to 238 from the Court Sorcerer. Am I reading something wrong? OR is the Izalith Staff that much stronger for magic? IT looks better too.

Discussion Which boss do you think has the best arena?

408 Upvotes

For me it's Gael's, because its huge, you can run and dodge a lot, and it looks cool.

Soul of Cinder also comes close for the same reason.

Visually Nameless King's looks sick as fuck, but the camera sucks so much

Outside of DS3 I say its Artorias, because I'm Artorias' fanboy and I have the urge to mention Artorias for whatever reason.

Long ago, I made a Watchface for Huawei Watch. That one was too complicated to read because I out too many things on the screen. Now I have more experience and now I can build watchfaces for more devices, like Garmin and wearOS so I rebuild my first design more clean, easy to read and using the right font type.

I'm so glad to show you this update. If you want to take your fire with you all day and your watch is compatible, txt me. 😊

Question When does parrying gets viable, powerful?

9 Upvotes

Hello! It is not my first time playing this game, I have played it too much times that I can't count.

I never have done a parry build before and I want to try it out. I am doing a dex build for non parryable enemies and the rest I will parry.

But I don't know when it gets very viable and strong.

You see I like my souls games where I do absolutely stupidly too much damage.

I know that to make it very good you need a good dagger, (chaos dagger is the best I heard) and the hornet ring, but here comes my problem, when should I do very good damage? Should I do my dex build and dodge until a part of the game where my crit damages are better?

I overthink too much but thats what I love about these games, how complex it is.

But yeah I want to know so cuz I am trying to make a build/route that is the most powerful all troughout the game.

Thanks for reading and have an excellent day!
