  • Instead of going over lore or secret walls or farming techniques, I've written down what I believe are the 10 inevitable experiences you will have while playing Dark Souls 3, or any Dark Souls game. A "Ten Commandments" of Dark Souls if you will. Join us this week as I dive into one of my favorite pastime games.

    Law 11. If you are not smart enough to level up immediately, and you have a ton of souls, you will die. Then, the simplest enemies become mini bosses, preventing you from getting all those souls back.

    • @Wohodix
      @Wohodix Před 5 lety +53

      Law 12 . Loosing souls doesnt matter because the skills you get by practice are much more valuable than +5 dmg or +30hp.
      A better advice would be level up weapons first, and get a support spell.

      you should put on a ring of protection AFTER you die (ring of sacrifice in DS3). so you have infinite tries to get your souls back becouse if you die again, only the ring will break, the souls still remain in place and still can be picked up. in DS2 they cost 3k souls to repair i believe.
      that way each death after the first costs as much as the ring, with the first death beeing for free. not sure if you can buy them in DS3 though.
      with this technique i didnt lose any souls in the past 300 hours or so in DS2.

    Dark souls laughs last is true, even when you beat a boss. My first ever playthrough of the game had me in tears when I beat midir. Not because he took me two days to finally beat, but because I was at a sliver of health and it was as close to beating him as I had ever been. When I killed him, I thought he was winding up some new attack to fuck me over with, not at all realizing it was just him dying.

    I always wanted to create a pure Intelligence or Faith Build because after 140 Hours of playing the same or a similar Build i decided to give those sorcery's and Miracles a Chance.
    You can already guess it. I ended up doing a balanced Knight again.

Then I have a high faith/int build that uses a mix of pyromancy and miracles with the odd spell slipped in from time to time. Never have I just ended up with a knight.

    Here’s my ten laws
    1: the dlc is always the best part of the game
    2: there is always at least one stat that shouldn’t be there
    3: the ease of which items and souls can be farmed is proportional to the quality of the game
    4: because there’s always an ass-load if weapons in these games, finding a specific weapon is almost always tedious
    5: you can always make a goofy-looking character in the character creator.
    6: high level builds will always incorporate magic in them in some way
    7: there’s always at least one area that’s just embarrassing in how badly designed it was
    8: snuggly the crow always appears super early in the game
    9: there’s always one area people REALLY gravitate to doing pvp in; no other areas are acceptable to do pvp.
    10: fashion souls is always the best way to play 😎

      It plays like a challenge run. and doesn't work past NG++
      In Dark Souls 1
      You have 6 true mage armor sets to pick from, 7 if you count Channeler's set. (I don't)
      You can bump that up by 4 if you count the *priest* type gear, _not_ cleric armor! Stuff like robes.
      You can bump it another 3 if you include the Pyro-type robes. though by this point you're starting to break character
      True Mage would stay with dagger class weapons when parry, or a *shortsword* to buff. of course only if necessary, as most enemies should die by spells.
      No metal shields, or large shields, the starter works till you get the Crystal Ring Shield.
      Stats should be mostly health, int, & attunment. No leveling str, or end, keep dex at a minimum. You could get away with leveling resistances if you were farming hard but I doubt it.

      Midir wasn't that hard. If you fight him as he's supposed to be fought (hit his face, dodge his attacks, and basically always stay in front of him) the fight is pretty average in difficulty and is cinematic as fuck. The only thing hard about it is that his attacks do a lot of damage, so a single fuck up is a lot scarier than usual.

      However it is kinda funny that he hates Pontiff so much for attacking till he has no stamina left to counter while the video shows a character with a really tiny stamina bar. I guess there you have the reason it felt so easy for me and so difficult for him. Stamina is about the first thing I try to get to its (soft)cap in every Souls Game.

    "Dark Souls laughs last"
    True.
    The game crashed once when I was kicking it's ass.
    After a restart, all my skills were gone. I always died for stupid reasons. How? Like... I lost my momentum or something. Of course some of the enemies do the old "I survive with a tiny HP just so I can hit you back and you have to heal" trick, despite I killed most of them with like three hits.
    "Size does not matter"
    True. But speed does. Every difficult enemy in this game is fast and agressive. I died more to one of those Sulyvahn's Beast or those Outrider Knights than any of the bosses. (except Pontiff and Nameless King) Even dogs and rats gave me more trouble with their stunlocking. (rip poise)
    "Dark Souls is always relative"
    Fuck the Crystal Sage. It was the hardest early game boss for me.

    I completed game as mage. Gotta say though, it was bitch against Wolnir and Greatwood due to those being heavily physical focused. Also, bad against Crystal Sage and Aldrich due to mage vs mage. Other then that, I'd say pretty good for noobs.

    Wait, you missed the block physics being completely arbitrary. I've had more than once in DS where I get hit off the edge because an attack decides to knock me back off a cliff through my block, despite the fact that I blocked just as heavy swings without moving an inch.
    Oh, and spears being a bad idea against small targets, as apparently aiming down is something your character forgot how to do, leaving him poking the air just above the enemy while it gnaws your kneecaps until you die. Or is that only a DS 1 thing?

    law 1: well, that's just how gaming works, failure is inevitable, and the better you get at it, the less you fail, but you WILL fail every once in a while, we're humans after all.
    law 2: it's not that everyone becomes a knight, it's just that pure spell-casting is frowned upon in souls games, it's just not how miyazaki conceptualized mages(see grimhield, daughter of the cristal sage, even SHE HAS A RAPIER!(as well as the crystal sages too)
    law 3: ...kinda.
    i admit i got lost in farron keep(who doesn't?) and almost got lost in both cathedral of the deep and the catacombs... but other than that, at least in ds3, i never got lost. note: i have a pretty poor sense of direction, not terrible, but definitely sub-par.
    law 4: yes.
    law 5: salty much? this contradicts point 4, unless you consider yourself a law.
    law 6: isn't that the same for almost any game in existence though?
    law 7: funny example considering miyazaki loves lovecraft.
    but that's it.
    gaelic names mixed with alvish, latin, lovecraftian references and so on... pronunciation will inevitably get complex.
    yet iudex gundyr it's easy to spell come on!
    law 8: see law 1(yes, rng is something you should take in consideration too)
    law 9: it's from japan, what did you expect?
    law 10: gotta love fromsoftware's game engines.

      his acid pool fruit fall attack just eats time and his gimmick of attacking the nodes, some of which are obviously visible but not attackable till a Que happens, and he moves with far too much mobility for a boss that cant actually stand. such mobility should be saved for mimics, not trees.

    • @ronanvankessel6329
      @ronanvankessel6329 Před 6 lety

      kira angle yes, I said mostly fair attacks, because his acid pool and fruit fall are bad. But your second point is EXACTLY what I mean. Everybody automatically thinks this is bad because its different, while there is NOTHING wrong with it. It makes it so the developers can prevent you from abusing his abilities and for example just hit him from behind where he cant attack you. Good design, wouldnt you say? Some are not attackable because they are out of reach. Also, your opinion on his speed is subjective. I find his speed perfect. Yes he cant stand (technically he can, but he falls down instantly) but that doesnt mean he cant move. The only nonsense move Id say is when he does the spin, but other than that the movement is perfectly reasonable imo

    • @kiraangle2823
