Discussion Do the covenant items carry over?

Upvotes

Trying to get the platinum and need to start a new game to get some gestures and miracles. I still have to get some rings as well which include getting x amount of proof on concord kept. I've given 12 to the darkmoon lady. If I start a new game, will those 12 already be done and I'll need 18 more to get the miracle, or will I need start from scratch?

Thanks

How do I know what part of the game is the vanilla part seeing as I haven’t done this souls like before but have done DS1&2 or should I just go EVERYWHERE and just embrace the world as I get it?

Help Did I screw up Anri of Astora questline?

Upvotes

Hi, I am currently on my first play through of ds3 and did not know about a lot of the time sensitive encounters. It amazes me how we are even supposed to know how and when to do certain things without looking them up. So here is my situation.

- I met Anri of Astora and Horace at their initial spot.

- I saw Anri again in the catacombs twice but did not end up finding Horace in smoldering lake and never told Anri about his wearabouts.

- I did not know that you had to get the 5 upgrades from the Londer guy by a certain point and he died. I never met Yuri and am locked out of that questline/ending.

- I then saw Anri at the chapel and she told me that she did not find him. At this point, I went on to kill Pontiff on my own, NOT KNOWING about the pilgrim assassin located in the chapel where Anri was staying.

- I defeated Aldrich on my own and have progressed all the way to the Archive area in Lothric castle. I am getting fairly close to the twins boss.

So my question is what is even left at this point for Anri? Is she just dead? Can I still help her fight Aldrich in her world? Thanks for any feedback.

Question Pretty Character

Upvotes

Can anyone recommend me a pretty good guide on a pretty female character. I looked some up on YouTube, but they weren’t really my type. I guess I want something closer to a real person, but still pretty just not perfect like a lot of these creations look. I know this may sound odd.

Help the heck u mean sister friede got 3 phases?!!

Upvotes

I was finally able to beat her second phase after so many tries and was so relieved. But I didn’t get any boss defeated message on the screen and the guy, father ariandel kept saying something. And then there’s this black flame and SISTER FRIEDE IS RESPAWNING!!!! Unbelievable. Any tips for the third phase?

Thought it would be harder to do this with the LKS because you have to farm it, but it really didn’t take that long to farm each attempt — and of the weapons I tried this gave me the closest feeling to the winblades by far. And it outclassed the other straight swords for leveled in my opinion. 110 crit is criminal.

Help Cant make progress because of my build

Post image
Upvotes

Currently trying to kill pontiff and my build is absolute shit and I deal no damage, I really do not want to restart. My build is black blade +7 (stats in attatched image) I'm horrible at parrying and I've been just rolling to kill bosses but my damage per hit is so bad that when I'm even able to get a single hit in it literally does almost no damage. Am I just bad or am I missing something?

PvP Surprisingly, today is one of those rare days when PvP is very active; I've been here for about two hours and there are still players (level 200+), The photo resolution is awful because I took the photo in the dark.

Fan Art DS3 Fan-made Boss Concept | Goyric, The Rat King (Art by me)

Post image
Upvotes

just a fun idea that came to my mind, thought I‘d share it

Lore: Goyric was once a scholar in the archives among many others, Goyric however had a particular taste for human flesh, killing some of his own fellow scholars to get to pleasurable food. Upon his secret being exposed however, he was beaten, maimed, and left to die in the sewers, stripping him of his title as scholar. 

He did not die however, he survived from scrap food flushed down the sewers and eventually becoming some sort of king to the rats that infest the place after going completely insane.

Boss location: found in the undead settlement, the large room with the ladder that leads to Irina of Carim. He’ll be in the middle of the room gnawing on a corpse until you drop down to his level. 

THE BOSSFIGHT

Goyric is an humanoid Npcs-style boss fight

HP: 3510

Phase 1: his first phase is pretty simple, you fight him and the 2 rats he’s accompanied with. He wields his dagger which does bleed proc and attacks like an npc, although he is about 1.3x faster than npc enemies (moves and attacks quicker).

Phase 1.5: upon dropping his health to 20% he will run off and crawl into a nearby sewer pipe to escape. Immediately after 10 + your NG lvl (caps at 7) Rats will spawn and start attacking you. During this Goyric will be healing offscreen, about 150 hp per second. The reason I say this is phase 1.5 is because after he gets to full health he will immediately crawl back out in his phase 2 form even if the rats are not dead yet

Phase 2: Speaking of which, Phase 2 Goyric is the same except now he wields a talisman that you can now use to shoot the “Gnaw” miracle at you and can now parry and riposte.

Boss drops: upon death he drops 2 items, his dagger “Goyric’s Candlestick” and the Saints Talisman, as well as 3500 souls for ng0. And after defeating him the shrine handmaiden will sell his “tattered robe” for 500 souls.

Weapon: Goyric’s Candlestick is essentially a reskin of the scholar’s candlestick with a few key differences. Its weapon art is now a  parry instead of a temporary light source, it has 30 bleed proc, and instead of boosting sorceries while equipped, it doubles your Current poison resistance instead.

Other details

The ladders get disabled once the boss fight starts

Goyric is blind, so you can just jump down from the left corner and quietly hug the wall and you can skip the boss entirely 

The reason he hasn’t killed Irina is because he doesn’t want the smoke with Eygon

Lemme know your thoughts on this.

Discussion Midir and Gael

Upvotes

I just fought Gael for the first time in my life and managed to beat him on my first try… Dude, what an incredible boss fight. I’m literally shaking right now… I can’t believe I actually got him first try.

I felt like the trick to avoiding him and that damn cape is to always dodge to the right. I also beat Midir today in about four attempts. Holy shit, I’m genuinely so fucking happy right now. What incredible fights.

I thought Midir’s transposed-soul katana was so cool that I decided to use it for my fight against Gael. Soul of Cinder is my next prey now.

Honestly, I have no idea how to decide which DLC boss is the best.

After playing dark Souls 2 i went directly to Elden Ring after quit DS3 because Of a bug NPC mision. After defeated ER I tried Dark Souls 3 for the first time.

The first soul I went to Ng+3. I loved the bosses, fights, the Maps and their cinnection, the perfect bonfire locations and the number of builds you can have Without feeling clumsy and old.

I started with a Bleed build which was so fun, in my ng+ i went through a quality build and in my ng++ i tried strength/faith build and was honestly so fun. Is the only dark Souls I wanted to have all sourceries, miracles, rings and Weapons in order to create as many builds as possible.

The community is also very helpful and Kind
