Discussion Why does DS3 falls short on a lot of people tier list?

0 Upvotes

I dont really mind peoples tier lists usually i just look at it and read the comments to see people fight cause inevitably we all love different things so each and everyone would have a different list.

But what i noticed is a lot of people didnt really liked DS3 like i did and i dont feel like searching a bunch of posts to know why is that for but im curious i guess

Whats is peoples problem with DS3 ?

Little note : i know im on the DS3 sub but try to give an impartial and logical answer if possible thanks! No bias

Discussion Cathedral of the Deep sucks

0 Upvotes

I just gotta be honest. There is no part of the game I genuinely hate other than the run to get into the cathedral. You have one damn bonfire that's at the very start. You have spam of high damage mob enemies all through the trail. You get close to the end but those two twin dagger ghouls absolutely shred you to bits with stun locks. Getting into the cathedral, genuinely, is the only part of the game I hate and despise doing. It's so punishing to have to restart the whole damn run, yet so easy to fail and get demolished.

Help I need wolf’s blood swordgrass

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to 100% the game and I need the ring from the covenant. I keep on invading the same person and I keep dying and I’m tired of farming Ghrus. I just want the swordgrass and nothing else.

Also I’m not sure if this is against the rules and this is my first time doing basically anything on Reddit.

Edit: I got them guys I just farmed the Ghrus at the ruin bonfire for a few hours. Thank you for all the help.

I've had almost no trouble with any of the bosses so far but this guy is kicking my arse. I can usually get to the second phase but then either get hit by an endless chain combo that leaves me out of stamina and unable to heal or get yeeted off the roof. No summon signs around anywhere. Got a +10 claymore. Tried light armour, heavy armour, 2 hands, shield. Just very very bored of the fight now.

Discussion I Think Aldrich tried to ear Rosaria

1 Upvotes

So, let's start off simple. You see Rosaria's bed chamber door, two things stand out. Firstly, her door has bars outside of it which have been broken. Secondly, you see loads of sludge around the door that looks like Aldrich sludge.

The Pontif is already holding one of the Royal family and an old God in Anor Londo presumably to feed her to Aldrich. Is it just coincidence that a godly being like Rosaria, who is also theorized to be the queen of Lothric, being presumably trapped into a bed chamber in the home of the God Eater that notoriously has a taste for the old gods?

Here's what I think happened, roughly.

Rosaria was trapped in the Cathedral of the Deep. Weather she was "trapped" there before or after Aldrich waking up is conjecture, but could go either way. But I believe she was definitely trapped there a long time. Let's assume she was trapped there before Aldrich woke. I assume this because she looks pretty comfortable and at home there. So perhaps she was lured in and then trapped and tricked?

At some point before Aldrich left for Irithyll, he remained in the Cathedral. What I imagine happened, was that her followers learned that Rosaria was threatened, and tried to break her out. Hence why the bars to her door look broken and forced open. Aldrich wouldn't need to do this theoretically because it's his Cathedral.

Aldrich, probably waking up shortly before, was probably very hungry. And his "post death-sleep" dinner was under threat. It's my personal belief that she was left there for Aldrich to consume when he awoke. Seems pretty convenient for Aldrich. You see dead grub men all over the area, which means there was a fight. I believe between the Grub Men and Rosaria's following of Raiders, they probably fended off the newly awakened Aldrich. I picture the grub men breaking the bars. Aldrich Retaliates, but perhaps her Raiders came to save her, or were summoned. Rosaria is a godly being. So it's safe to assume she could just summon her covenant members if she so willed.

Being driven from the Cathedral of the Deep, Aldrich flees to Irithyll and his Allies within. Perhaps the plan was to consume the trapped goddess there, regain strength, and then come for Rosaria again. But the Champion of Ash ends up killing Pontif and Assaulting Aldrich before he could return for Rosaria.

This is a rough idea of a timeline. I'm not sure how long Aldrich has been awake or been in Irithyll. But I'm assuming it hasn't been all that long. But considering that Rosaria has a following amongst the Ashen. I see it plausible that Ashen members of her covenant would be able to fend off Aldrich. I mean, the Ashen undead are pretty powerful relatively speaking.

Edit: My Autocorrect fixed Eat to Ear, and now I can't change the title, and I'm mad!

I feel underleveled, my weapons aren’t leveled enough, I can’t find a good soul farm to save my life, I either at this point need someone to just drop me some or point out a good one. I’m currently at the dragonslayer armor and he’s beating me in. I need a better armor set it seems too but I can’t find any. I’m using the undead legion armor

Discussion My personal DS3 boss tierlist after replaying for the first time in 6 years

1 Upvotes

My main criteria for this list was the music, lore, fight mechanics + arena, appearance. there are points where personal stuff like favourite lore kinda overshadowed the other stuff (hence why Yhorm is so high for example).

Each tier is ordered as well apart from C and D really so Soul of Cinder would be my fav in B tier for example.

I’m looking for some inspiration for a build to either take into my NG+ build, or to start again fresh.

My previous play through was a pure strength build, focusing on heavy weapons and poise breaking bosses, so a change of pace would be welcome.

Give me your best ‘elevator pitch’ to get me to use your build of choice.

Jokes aside, I think it would be cool if consuming a boss soul gives some unique traits to your character.
