-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 I’m at the 70-ish percent of my replay of dark souls 3 (barely beat Dragonslayer Armour). I’m too much of a glass canon, so I don’t think I’m ready for the DLC yet. I’m level 80. My vitality is only 8 as for the replay, I can’t believe I’m saying this…but I enjoyed ER’s replay a lot more, with BB and DS 1 being the best on subsequent runs (but ER felt great). I still haven’t played 2, and I have no desire. for some reason, I remembered liking DS3 a lot more. I mean, it’s still great. It’s just a lower tier than the other games (minus 2). The boss battles mostly own, though. Even the gimmicky ones. But, I hear the DLC is outstanding, so I’m looking forward to it 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 I was digging Ashes of Ariandel, until the mountain/snow maze after the NPC fight. The level design is god awful. It’s just traps and mobs. The shortcuts, early on, felt good. Here…not so much. I’ll play a little more, but I’m super underwhelmed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Oh hell nah. That sister friede one shot kills me I knew I was under leveled, but damn lol. She makes the regular ds3 bosses look like a joke. I will have to respec and come at her bloodborne/greatsword style. I YouTube’d the full fight. 3 phases? Really? And people made Malenia seem hard, when she’s a joke compared to this fight. I a lot of peeps used pyro builds. Decisions decisions. At least the fight is right next to a bonfire lol 1 Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 i got sister friede to the third phase. she ended up doing some combo i hadn't seen before that basically stun-locked me and killed me (i had her health down to half). maybe later. at least she has no poise. it's easy to get her stun-locked in phase 1.

-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 @Remij @Twinblade I finally beat sister friede - hands down the hardest boss I’ve faced in a souls game lol. I literally had to respec to a stamina-pumping pyromancer lol. That final battle was a dopamine rush lol. edit: if that had a long run back, I would’ve quit. It took me around 40-50 tries. It’s a fair boss, though. It didn’t feel cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Oh, that was the end. Let’s hope ringed city is better. That was mostly meh, minus that godly (even though I struggled with it) boss. 7/10 (9/10 boss, though). Link to post Share on other sites

It’s weird, though. While the first DLC was great for pyro builds. The ringed city isn’t. Looks like I’ll be switching to a strength build. I got annihilated by the first boss with pyro, and I almost beat it with magic. However, it seems physical damage is the way to go here. I checked some reddit posts and most agree. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 i switched back to a mage/strength hybrid. i took down the demon prince pretty easily. long fight, though. i should probably upgrade my sword. i was only getting 200-300 per hit. i should have gotten 400+. the magic came in handy from afar. those fire attacks are ruthless. still, this felt more like a mid tier ds3 boss, in terms of difficulty. although, i enjoyed its smough and ornstein-like dynamic. edit: the level design is already a major notch above the first dlc. ringed city is actually fun to explore.

-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 I finally got to Midir. I know the boss is optional, but fuck. I have to try to beat it lol. I was able to get it down to 50%, then dead lol. 1 shots like nothing I’ve seen. At least it’s one phase. Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,189 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Nobody wants to Die is going to be one of this year's sleeper hits. This game has such an awesome look and atmosphere. Plus its a legitimately interesting detective game that almost reminds me of a futuristic LA Noire with its noir vibe 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 Holy shit! I finally beat Midir, with only a sliver of health left. Almost got a heart attack when he was close to death. That was one of the best fights ever! I died like 40 times, but I finally got it! My heart is literally racing edit: thank god I remembered embers restore health. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 8,277 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 I got to Gael. Jesus lol. I died like 20 times. I’ll be on vacation the next few days, so I’ll have to sideline this until I get back. That second phase is a bitch overall, this has been some stellar DLC! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JonDnD 2,990 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Tried about 45 mins of Flintlock and DOT. Flintlock feels probably about what youd expect. Ill continue playing it as it made a decent 1st impression. DOT is like animated Life is Strange RPG so far. Seems ok, but real cheap. Will also give it a shot tho. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The music in the last phase Yeah. While D3 was inconsistent with its level design (from basic to a bit messy to stellar), most of the bosses in the main game and DLC owned hard! I think ringed city is easily up there with old hunters, in terms of being tight and epic DLC. Erdtree had bigger/better level design, but felt empty in spots and had about 3 memorable bosses (out of 10). Link to post Share on other sites
