I think so.
There are 4 endings, 3 of them have similarities to yours. That should tell you where the world is headed

Wait, you don't get in trouble for this? Isn't that a bit risky to get soft banned, maybe?No worries I just use my backed up save to rewrite the save, so it is still as if I haven't lost any ring
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
WTF?
I thought they were the hardest bosses of the game other than the optional one you missed. Retried them several times.
Wet Nurse, Gehrman and Moon Presence were wayyyyy easier. Gehrman was pretty cool (the others less so) but not really difficult, don't think he ever killed me.

I played the game blind and I don't think I was as bad as ENB...especially at the Y
horm
I just finished the game and I don't really know how to feel... I guess I'm pretty dissatisfied.
I beat the two princes on my second try. It was far too easy. Interesting fight but doesn't really challenge you at all.
I assumed it wasn't the last boss so I place the cinders on the throne and travel to the Kiln of the first Flame. And then I fight Souls of Cinder (?) and beat him on my second try as well. I couldn't believe that was the final boss. Almost as disappointing as Nashandra.
Please tell me there is another ending with a lot more story development and the true final boss. PLEASE.
I had similar disappointment in Bloodborne when the finished the game with theWet Nurse but it immediately redeemed itself when I fought Gehrman and Moon Presence. I'm really hoping something similar happens here.
So yeah, I beat the Souls of Cinder, and call the Firekeeper which ends the game with her plunging the world into darkness... Absolutely no closure on the story at all.
In terms of secret areas, I found that Lake underneath the Catacombs and the Undead Grave behind the Ocieros boss. Is there any other areas of secret bosses I may have potentially missed? Hinting would be preferable as I still want the surprise.
Any help is much appreciated
I hate you. So

.Backing up and rewriting your saves will not get you banned, From themselves even said players can do it(whether it's forever, or only during this time where the Dagger of Soul Giving plagues online play is unknown.) to be honest, I think the player receiving the rings is at a higher risk of being softbanned. That's just my take on it, so caution I rather not be responsible for anything

There isn't. That's it. You can fight Nameless King for the hard secret boss but that's about it.
Wait for DLC.
Cinders is just way to passive for a final boss, you have days for healing and his caster mode is terrible and easily exploitable. His Gwyn mode lacks the raw ferocity of Gwyn even if he cannot be parried... and Gwyn was meant to be a tired old man, a more challenging True King Allant. Cinders is just a push-over for no good reason..

lol he definitely seemed stoned this time. Or maybe he was just running through so fast that he didn't take note of things properly.
yea, that dude kicked my ass. he does seem slower in NG but i feel like in NG+ and beyond, that dude kicks a lot of ass. he even destroyed people i summoned in NG++.
I like the Firelink Greatsword as well, it's one of my mains. Although, you have to be careful when to use the weapon art because people are expecting it now and will just walk around for an easy backstab if you use it carelessly. But if you can land a hit with it, it's an instant knockdown. Great for brawls when the fighting is hectic and people aren't paying attention to you.
I don't think "jaded" is the right word in this case, but some people definitely seem to think that even after investing hundreds of hours in the series over half a decade, DS3 would still somehow be the hardest game of the bunch. There's no way to do that unless you make the game impenetrable for new players, and that just wasn't gonna happen.

The armor description is one thing, but how in the hell do you not know how that elevator works, even telling yourself, hey its just like the one with siegward.
Yeah that was weird, because that same elevator style is in Bloodborne as well. Well, it's in the DLC which he didn't play. I think he was toking something this time.
I mean, ya, he feels passive to me and I killed him in two tries, and almost had him dead in the first blind encounter but I didn't expect to get blown up by his grab. His

I've dropped items and weapons in every game. The function exists for this.

Yes, sure. I meant the guy dropping the rings and then restoring his save to get them back.
Tarkus

Ah, but could they track it? And didnt they encourage backing up saves?
From has said themselves to backup & restore save data in regards to the hackers getting people softbanned.
Backing up & restoring for item purposes is probably a grey area but unless your save shows clear tampering then I don't see how they could possibly do anything about it. I've done backups & restores when messing with respec's and getting multiple ending achievements in a single playthrough - and when I asked about that several people said doing so was fine.
I guess we'll see if someone gets banned for it. Until then no one really knows. The real question I have - if you're going to just cheat by having people give you items for your trophy, why even bother in the first place? Aren't getting trophies about putting in the work? I'm doing NG+ now for the rest of the rings & last ending, and plan to do NG++ for the rest of the rings too.

Hit the nail on the head. This is my first Dark Souls game and it's plenty difficult. I've been playing games all my life and my first run through DS3 was horrific. If it weren't for jolly cooperation I probably would have quit at the Abyss Watchers. Now that I've played like 150 hours I'm able to beat the hardest bosses by myself, but it took a lot of learning.
I mean, ya, he feels passive to me and I killed him in two tries, and almost had him dead in the first blind encounter but I didn't expect to get blown up by his grab. Hismode is outright dumb because all he has are very slow, easy tell spells and he can barely do anything to you in close range. His Soul Stream casts leave him open for a full stamina bar of R1 spam. He's not as lethargic ascaster.the Dancer
I wasn't expecting him to be some unbeatable god-monster. I actually liked the fight and the game as a whole, but I still thought it was easy.
Nowwas a good boss. Fast, aggressive, stupid FROM bullshit-design of enemies off screen but I enjoyed them for the mix-ups they added. It would also be best if I admitted that my opinion of FROMs boss design has progressively degraded since DS, and I think they have as many good designs, which they recycle to much, as they do absolute shit ones. So ya, I am jaded.Dragonslayer Armor
But my favorite fights wereandChampion Gundyr. The former is what I would have expected fromNameless King, and reminded me a lot of Gwyn.Cinders
Well that makes sense because it's heavily implied N
ameless King is Gwyn's firstborn
And yeah SoC's caster form is definitely the easiest one. When I was a Sunbro phantom I did see his soul stream kill a host though. Lol. His pyromancer form gave me the most trouble with his goddamn twirling sword attack that hits you even if you roll. And I lost count of how many hosts/phantoms died to his ultra combo in his 2nd phase. That's how you could really tell who had fought him before - the experienced players make a fucking break for it as soon as he pauses for the windup, while the ignorant ones think it's an opportunity to attack. Had many laughs at that part.
Champion might be my favorite too. Dat kick.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I come across any gankers who use that sword.
He also forgot about the bridge bonfire >.>
edt: why did that elevator go down instead of up? also there is another slab that I never knew about Oo

Many elevators have two elevators. One goes up, one goes down. So just step on it, let it go down/up and see if another pops up
oh yes

I would guess it's for twinking a character. For PvP reasons.

He probably smokes that stank dank. You know, the kind you have to smoke in a bowl because the resin won't stay lit in a joint.

It's the NKameless. So if you fought that boss, watch awaying fight
Yup, that was panic rolling alright xD
locking on while panic rolling makes it way less intense though
thankfully not. lol
Nothing in this game is as hard as Ludwig and Orphan imo, but many of them harder than anything in the past games other than Fume Knight.
Well I defeated
4th try lol. I don't know if Broadsword is OP or something but these bosses are just too passive on a lot of their movesets. He was definitely the hardest of the final 3 bosses because his attack charge up times were a bit weird and his

Eh, oh well. Shouldn't really need DLC to get a proper conclusion on the game lol.
I guess it depends on your weapons as well. Some weapons just struggle against certain enemies.

Ornstein and Havel's armor? I've seen people running around wearing them and I'd like to as well
Eh, oh well. Shouldn't really need DLC to get a proper conclusion on the game lol.
Oh, I never meant Wet Nurse and Moon Presence were hard. It was just that there was essentially 3 consecutive boss fights at the end of the game with the true ending which makes it a lot more satisfying than the two princes and the Lord Souls. I think the problem is also the fact that you fight Gehrman which makes the ending have a lot more gravitas whilst I couldn't really care for the Lord Souls.
Gehrman definitely killed me a few times. Maybe even 5. Really good boss. But I always seem to struggle on the unconventional bosses (like Blood starved Beast) whilst I beat Logarius and Ebrietas first time xD.

I don't know how anyone enjoys invading.
I'm trying to get pale tongues and literally every single invasion has been me getting ganged up on. Usually the host runs away and has the phantoms attack me.

Then do some dueling with a red sign. You get the same pale tongue in an honorable 1v1.
