Topic: Dark Souls 3 | OT | Come Ashen Ones

Investing in hit points seems very worthwhile this time around.

Deacons? Have I missed out a whole section of the game? Lol

im still stuck in the undead settlement at the boss there (Greatwood) - im playin a knight, skilling toward strenght/hp/dext. gonna destroy this giant ... thing ... today I swear LOL the second phase of the battle is where my mistakes happen

does anyone whos further in the game know of a good weapon (sword)? I still have the small axe from the first mimic equipped that also deals dark damage and upgraded it with titanite shards
would appreciate any tipps ^^

@consolfreak1982: http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Irithyll+Straight+Sword used this thing for the first half of the game, it's pretty solid.

Not sure if it's actually better than what you're using though

@Plateface: omg thanks for the tipp ^^ have to compare them as soon as im home

@consolfreak1982: I beat Greatwood with that dark axe as Pyromancer; you can try with a weapon infused with fire since the thing is weak to that element or (as I did) you can just move to the next area and beat it later, once you have better gear, since it's an optional boss.

@andreoni79: thx for the tipp - I will try to infuse some sword with fire as you said, also planning on getting the Irithyll Sword but its dropped by that annoying beast that guards the next area - damn that thing is fast ^^ oh and I know that Greatwood is an optional boss but I just .. you know .. have to kill him

@kyleforrester87: The Deacons are in an entirely optional area I think in the Cathedral area with the 2 giants? They're probably the worst boss in the game in my opinion, just basically some mob enemies.

Anyone fancy some friendly duels or needs some help with a boss they're struggling on, post it here!

Still loving this game, so good.

@kyleforrester87: They're the boss in Cathedral of the Deep, follow a path to the left of the Crystal Sage boss arena near the forest

@consolfreak1982: Deep Axe was pretty good for first few areas I found, especially when you start levelling it up

@Hego: @mrobinson91: well that's messed up! Back I go! Lol

Really enjoyed the abyss watchers fight though. The music was great. What's with those 2 black knights before hand, some story telling perhaps?

@consolfreak1982: I'm using a level 5 broadsword. Maybe I'm wrong but with the right gem infusion and scaling the correct attributes many weapons can remain decent.

Broadsword is very very strong, possibly strongest in the game. Statistically superior to dark sword, uses less Stam does more dog better scaling, etc, but it does have short range.

@kyleforrester87: Ah it's alright, I did Abyss Watchers first then went to Cathedral but I know others have done it other way around, don't think it makes much of a difference.
I've been using the Wolf Greatsword after beating the Abyss Watchers, I'm pretty sure it's meant to be Artorius' Greatsword from the first game

@Mega-Gazz: Good to know, yes the range has caught me out frequently to be honest but I like everything else about it.

@Hego: Cool, looking forward to running this area over the weekend then.

Any tried the Smouldering lake area yet? Found it to be a bit of a difficulty spike!

That artillery! Must have revenge... but there is a chaos gem and iirc a bone shard for killing the snake

@Hego: yeah I beat that big worm thing and the demon king

Got pretty wrecked by the area really :/ think I made a mistake in not using the souls from Wolnir fight to level up, so I've gone from being possible over leveled to quite under levelled very quickly! Or maybe I just suck
