There's an NPC summon for that fight, try that?

Finished the deacons of the deep, great boss fight. That Red invaders covenant leader is creepy af, just the way she was locked away behind the door an all. The Thirn Armor is so class as well.

I have an Uchi +4 atm, need some large shards, but is +5 the highest they go?

Regular titanite (shards and chunks) weapons go to +10 everything else is +5

thought it was a bit lame tbh, beat it first time. and i averaged about 15-20 trys on all the previous boss fights.

Consumed king

gave me the most trouble so far and the not the fight as such although I had to summon help in the end , it was getting to him , that NPC you can summon in the middle of the area is a champ!!!!!!

Still have loads to explore in lothric castle and that boss has opened up another area that makes be feel a throwback to

nito

is there. The

Consumed king

was a throwback to

Seath

Although it was easy i thought its was a cool fight. There is a place for gimmicky fights in the series imo. Cant have every boss being a 1v1 epic fight with a sword wielding humanoid

More health , npc invasions that drop gear etc. jolly coop, challenge

I just don't get the multiplayer in this. PvP is messy. Co-op is imba. I think it's better left out.

The multiplayer is class if you get into it, co-op is great fun IMO.

The weapon art of Dancer's Enchanted Swords is great fun in PVP, especially with high stamina.

Round and round and round and round and round we go....

Never really use it myself. The L1 attack hit's way harder without giving a huge opening. The moveset on them is fantastic fullstop.

Does your character level matter? Or is all about yours stats?

Stats like vit etc

Level doesn't have an effect on your stats, it's just there to count how many total points you have above the minimum amount (90 points is level 1). The only thing it does is determine what phantoms and invaders you get, they're always x+/- levels from you depending on the type of phantom.

I don't see how it's possibly better left out? The key thing is, it's all completely optional (well, invasions aside, but they're rare and hilariously cruel). Co-op is a welcome addition to ensure players don't get left behind (yes purists, 'get gud' is advice of sadly limited usefulness) - for all its engaging, engrossing challenge, one cannot forget that there's this amazing, secret filled world to explore and beautifully told story / lore to tease out. Co-op is a sensible way to ensure that players of all - well, most - skill levels can engage with that and not have to quit out of frustration (I'm still sure some will of course, and even in co-op you still need a serious grasp of the mechanics and rules). Terrifically satisfying to be the phantom helping out somebody too. As for PVP, it's almost completely ignorable, but has and will continue to add layers of extra depth for those who commit to it.

Let's not forget the messages either, praise the sun! The way there remains a layer of arcane mystery to all the MP systems helps it all fit nicely into the DS tone and style too IMO.

As I said, the beauty with Dark Soul's multiplayer is it gives as much or as little as the player is willing to give it. Think co-op screws up the balance of the boss fights or makes them too easy? No problem, easily ignorable: engaging in co-op requires an active decision from the player. But if bosses are endlessly kicking your ass and you're eager to move on, the developers have offered tools to perhaps help you along. Totally your choice, and that's why it would be a massive shame to lose them.

All the multi player is woven into the lore too and I the way it's implemented is pretty unique to the souls games imo.

As Evade said yeah

There's no point in worrying about your level, but the individual stats are where goals are set, going for level 100 means nothing, but 40 Dex is a standard for example

I'd try aim for 40 in your damage stat, which would be Int, Faith, Dex or Strength
25 Endurance
20 Vitality
And 30 vigor

That's kind of a general goal, close to what I was at, then boost whatever you like after that

Level is only a general indicator for how far in the game you are, it helps for co-op but there's always going to be someone around your level to help our unless you're way over or under levelled.

Vigor is HP and vitality is carry weight.

I did,

summoned her and then I promptly killed her.

No trophy for that.

Think I asked this already but haven't seen an answer, are poison daggers / arrows broken in this ? In the previous titles 3 arrows or so and the poison would take hold and slowly tic down the enemies health. Doesn't seen to be the case in DS3 unless something has changed

I realise some are immune to certain types of damage and weak to others but I have tried them on several types of enemy in several areas. Just don't want to be wasting souls buying more if they don't work.

I almost feel bad for mimics when I cast pestilent mercury and their health drains down as they helplessly sit there, acting all chest like.

Then I remember they're horrible ****ers and I don't feel bad at all.

cool, I have that too, must try it. I swear those murmuring mimics will meet their maker!

Maybe luck scaling plays a part too.
