I know I'm not the first person to say it, but the bosses don't feel challenging at all compared to the normal enemies in the game. Sure, they have a bit more health, but they don't really attack at 120mph and are fairly easy to deal with. The first game was the other way around (mostly).

Early-mid game boss spoiler, swamp/forest area
Beat the abyss walkers. I should have went in again solo, but i ended up using a sunbro. Seemed to make the fight not very hard. That being said, I thought it was going to be a stupid fight with a bunch of strong enemies spawning over and over again. I usually co-op those because of how bad the targetting is in souls games. When it was just the single bad ass watcher with the flame sword I felt bad about it. Still, onwards.
I keep raising my faith, I'm sure it's wasting my character, but whatever.

Might want to give context outside of the tag, only because it's impossible to tell where you are/if the tags are safe to click.
IE- in the forest <spoilertag> or, 1/3rd in, <spoiler>

Fire Keeper bows when you bow at her. 10/10 game confirmed.

There's a pretty significant jump in both area/boss difficulty about half way through. At least a lot of the people in the import thread thought so.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Very interesting. Would be the first Souls game to reverse that trend.

Can you run under him on the top level? Only took the lower route so far and now I'm at work and can't try :/
I'm pretty impressed with the collector's guide for the game. Previous ones were done by Future Press, and when I saw Prima was doing it for DS3 I was a bit disappointed.
Layout and info is good (I already finished the game) and they even kept the same external styling as the previous collectors guides so they all match.

Yup. That was one of my favorite parts of Bloodborne, don't even know why. I would just bow every time I leveled up.
That first tip omg.
I've just beaten
High Lord Wolnir.
Yet to use a summon, which I'm kinda proud of. I felt like I had to replay Dark Souls to prove I could do the bosses without summons, which I did multiple times (including at SL1)... I really, really don't wanna summon in my first playthrough this time around.

Glad to hear this actually. Mine CE guide arrives tomorrow, but I've heard no say in its quality. Glad Prima kept the same style as the previous guides. Love my DS2 CE guide.

People been posing that view on the chans since the JP launch as a reason why the game sucks.
It isn't the best look for the game.
Holy shit that first tip!
I will, just gotta find ma ClayClay first!

You'll have to suicide, but what I did was sneak up the stairs slowly and then just charge up and grab it. I was hit by the flame first and had to roll over and snag it. It is in the back corner.

The area after that boss is where most people agree is where the difficulty spike is.

OK now what the fuck, the
Knight guys in black armour right next to the Farron Keep bonfire that always agro in pairs, how the hell do you deal with them? One at a time would be hard.
People can cherry pick screenshots like that for any game out there. I've been legitimately surprised by just how damn beautiful this game is, and an area I can't even visit that I have to go looking for isn't going to change my mind on that.
Then I better up my game. Woo!
Those things that put up that dark hand shield? You can ignore them.

Is there a way to unlock the door that looks like it leads to another elevator at the High Wall of Lothric? It's
on the same floor where the two-handed axe wielder is, before the path that leads you to the thief you free with the cell key. Essentially three floors down from the second bonfire.
He's much nicer to listen to when he talks like normal people lol. Can't stand his lore videos.
And yeah, first tip is good (in case someone doesn't want to watch the video: hold down on d-pad to instantly equip the item you've got in the first item slot, so usually estus flask)

Finally got the day one edition, cant wait to get home and play it.

Did anyone else think that the tutorial boss was much harder than than High Wall boss? Maybe it's just because I started as Deprived...
I need that armor hes wearing like now. NOW DAMN IT WHERE IS IT I BET ITS END GAME OR NG+ SHIT ONLY ISNT RAGE ;_;
Yeah I've been really happy with weapon (and shield) variety so far. The special attacks just add that extra bit of flare to an already impressive arsenal, and improves the replayability over previous games, I bet... I'm totally going to do a whip playthrough at some point.
In Dark Souls 1, I played a STR build with kickass Pyromancy to cheese everything, since it didn't scale off anything but the upgrades to the Pyro Flame.
I would like to play a similar character in Dark Souls 3: mainly melee with Pyromancy as a secondary attack. How should I start building my character? Should I go DEX or STR?

There's an old
ruined keep area with some sages and there's an item on top of some broken stairs but I have no idea how to get there. I've looked all over. And there's a a locked door by the knight which has a crystal lizard there. Where do I go to unlock it? Farron Keep?
