This game's bosses do seem more difficult than 1 & 2, ridiculously fast and multi phase. Get some points in str also to wield most of the greatsword/ultragreatsword weapons, i don't there are much weapons out there that depend on high dex stat to wield. most greatswords seem to have same scaling grade for both str and dex, so you should be good with dex anyway, just get enough str to wield GS and UGS are fun weapons, stagger and 2-3 hit kills on the most strongest NPC enemies, and heavy damage to bosses, some bosses also get staggered btw. i am currently at Lothric Castle and Arch Dragon peak, all other areas completed.

I'm seeing ultra greatswords to be a tad slower for the fast boss fights And they are heavy as well, I'll let me go for a sharp build as of now.

PhantomShade Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Just killed the L&L Twins just now, worst boss fight in any game hands down. The goal is to kill the little cripple on the big one's back, but that takes forever. Lothric revived Lorian around 5 times before i could finally euthanize him.

PhantomShade Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Fugged the Nameless King with FUGS just now, God bless Miyazaki, even with the nerf this sword is a nuke. Butchered his Firechicken so hard with this, i was getting riposte on the chicken guaranteed. Did the cringe circle around him strat in 2nd phase and won, apparently all his budget Thor attacks don't work if you practically hug him, his sword spear swings are easy to roll, and circling around him baits him into doing the lightning spear ground slam AoE and the summon lightning attack where he charges up his spear. I feel like a boss now, not these chumps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now using the lothric knight sword, fast and decent damage. I like strength weapons a lot as well, two handing them and that jump attack for them is very efficient but let's see how Dex goes for bosses like the twin princess and another that summons his shadow clone.

On the interwebs people say Sellsword Twinblades are very good for DPS if you are dex main. It's literally 2 swords that you can either 2H for both blades or 1H for use with shield/spell, many other weapons of this category but you get this earliest afaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try them out as well when I have enough stones to upgrade. Generally lothric knight sword is considered the best weapon in the game, it looks to be a jack of all trades - decent range, decent damage, decent speed, not the best in anything but best hybrid maybe.

PhantomShade Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Beat Soul of Cinder on 2nd try, never fought this one before ever. Also Linked the Flame, Botched the Yuria quest so couldn't get 3rd ending :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomShade Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Finally killed Gael, only boss in this NG that made my precious FUGS obsolete. The damage being done to him just wasn't enough to compenstate for the low swing speed and garbage block even charged/WA R2 doing only 680 damage. So i switched to this shield of glory and millwood battleaxe. Gael 2nd phase is ironically much easier than the first, he is less aggressive with smacking you and has much larger openings in between attacks. 10/10, actually enjoyed this fight, 0 cheapness in Gael, he isn't two teleporting cripples, he isn't some god of war reject on a flying fire-chicken or some undying nun with 30 foot tall giant body guard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearHea:D Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 ^ My fav. fight in whole DS3. He is a proper 1 vs 1 Boss like artorias. Fantastic boss overall mechanically and lore wise. What a way to end this godlike series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomShade Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Finally SLAYED Darkeater Midir Hardest and most "majestic" boss in this game, with those Godzilla purple laser beams and unique fire animations(fire seems to be darker in the center). Unlike Gael or Handicapped Bros or Soul of Cinder, the huge health pool, high damage absorption and attacks that can one or two shot you really makes Midir the Final Boss of the game. Literally me, during and after this fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomShade Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Now in Video form, just uploaded so it's still 360p :/ Captured using nvidia shadowplay or whatever they call it now. Video fortunately starts from the least casul parts, where i am being smacked by his paws or roasted by his 10 fire breathing attacks. Thankfully 2nd phase onwards i stuck to him, so he didn't do the 1-shot Godzilla Laser sweep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
