Dark Souls 3: Prepare to Die Once More

Man even 2nd time through fuck the Boreal valley and fuck this broken ass netcode which has me seeing 0 fucking summon signs but still getting invaded.

Man Dragon Barracks is tough as hell.

Do you mean Archdragon Peak or something else I’m forgetting about

The Dragon Barracks is the part of Lothic Castle that’s guarded by the two dragons. That’s the name of the bonfire there.

ooooh, yeah, that little section under the bridge is pretty frustrating

I feel like the enemy difficulty spiked pretty hard in this section. Not too bad but definitely more difficult.

Spoiler

Dragonslayer Armor is a real asshole though.

So this little detail in the game is actually really interesting… and a bit disturbing/haunting. They’ll continue praying until you attack them.

Awesome fight.

Holy shit that is really interesting

Yeah, got him after 3-4 fights. Switched to Yhorms Machete just to try it out and tore him a new asshole. Cool fight and cool weapon.

I looked around online and could not find the answer to this question. I was playing last night and an enemy that looked like a slug with a blue gem in its back spawned and started bouncing around. I was able to hit it a couple of times then it disappeared. Anyone know what this is?

Uh, are you talking about a crystal lizard?

No, this enemy looked like a slug or a worm, bounced around and had a gold entrail. I thought WTF was that because I was on the high tower and it just came out of nowhere. Maybe it was a glitch?

What shield do you guys usually use? I’ve been using the Grass Crest since I found it, with the shield of Want in my offhand. Haven’t really found much else that I like.

“high tower”, you mean the High Wall of Lothric?

I like Eastern Shield, Shield of Want is surprisingly stable, so I use that too. Wargod Shield for max stability while still being a med shield, but doesn’t have 100% damage reduction

I use shield of want. Good stability and you’ll get more Souls than normal with it.

How big was it? If it disappeared, it sounds like it was a crystal lizard (the small type that give you shards or gems when they die and do not respawn after death).

Just gonna leave this here. OHKO!

Black Knight Shield since it’s really well-rounded, 100% physical block and just all around great stats for the weight requirement. Shield of Want only if I’m grinding for souls or feel I don’t need the extra resistances from BKS.

Havel’s Greatshield is retarded, though. Sometimes I’ll put on lighter armor just to be able to rock it, it absorbs hits like nothing and whatever you block drains next to no stamina. I was getting destroyed in the Nameless King fight until I swapped to a Greatshield.

I’ve been pretty happy with the Spider Shield. Doesn’t block 100% physical but it’s got nice stability and stats for a relatively light shield.
