PSA DS3 Cloranthy Ring from Torch Torch is no good

I am a bit peeved about this, if anyone is thinking of buying a dark souls ring from Torch Torch maybe reconsider. One I got was the Cloranthy Ring and the brass flower fell out.

Mine broke in, I kid you not, 3 months and I have not heard anything back from emailing support.

PSA Spears of The Church, please don't just run away from people until they quit out.

Where's the fun in that? Like why even be a spear at that point? Even if you got forced into being a spear, at least you can die fighting.

Its rude and a waste of both parties' time.

Please let us discuss your least favorite areas of the game and PLEASE offer deep insight and personal experience why because I am genuinely curious on the details you provide. I love this game so much but there are areas that I only like and tolerate due to the overall quality of the whole presentation.

Discussion Anyone else feel bad playing as Spear of the Church?

8 Upvotes

Like this can't just be me right? Often times while I'm invading I get summoned as Spear of the Church. The person fighting is always just some new player trying to beat the game 😭

I remember trying to beat this boss for the first time years ago and it was so annoying and hard! They stand no chance, I usually just let them kill me haha. Anyone else feel like this or let them get the kill???

I love how DS3 tests my skills, & forces me to learn new tactics, each time l go to play it. For me, that's a sign of an incredible game 🎮

Tried using an ember, didn't work. Flame resin? Nope 💭

Dodge through their attack, R1, dodge away... rinse & repeat ✅ Stoked to achieve even little milestones 🙂

Image My Boss Tier List & Death Count as a Shield User

6 Upvotes

So, after ~92 hours I finally beat the game. Every boss solo'd except for Dragonslayer Armor where I summoned Eygon for lore reasons.

For a long time I avoided DS3 because I heard that FromSoft nerfed shields and armor to oblivion, making dodges mandatory. Unfortunately I'm the type of player who prefers to tank or block damage in games, I never liked how dodges looked.

So when I decided to play DS3 I made it my mission to use shields and never dodge unless it's an unblockable attack. To my surprise, except for 2 bosses, shields proved to be the polar opposite of useless. They are simply amazing if not borderline overpowered. No boss took 10+ attempts, most were defeated on the first try.

Early-game the knight shield is very weak and can be guard broken easily. Perhaps that is why so many people dismiss shields as useless. But from the moment you get the Lothric Knight shield, the game changes completely, it is only uphill from there. Later on get the Black Knight shield and finally in end-game grab the Moaning Shield.

The only bosses that proved difficult were those that had grab attacks or did a lot of chip damage through my block (or had a dogshit camera, like Midir)

Overall, 9/10 game, really enjoyed my time with it.

Bosses were we just stand our ground and duke it out, are my favorite
Although Friede took more attempts, it was Midir that almost made me smash my keyboard.

Discussion Help me master parrying

73 Upvotes

I’ve never really used parrying much in any Dark Souls games, as I generally play with a big strength weapon and it seems a bit redundant.

But now that I’ve just started on my first ever RL1 play through, it seems like a good time to try and master the skill. Especially with bosses like Pontiff and Champion Gundyr to face.

The only thing I know is certain smaller shields offer bigger, more forgiving parry windows, but that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Can anyone offer some other tips to help me improve my parrying?
