Hey quick thing that might be helpful In DS3 not wearing armor on a part of your body doesn’t just give you no extra damage absorption, but actually explicitly makes you take extra damage Having anything on a section at least stops the debuff the game gives you If you don’t use this info and still priories the fashion, I still respect that

[@horizonbumpy2828]

Yeah yeah we get it. Very original...

[@slycwby2478]

@@horizonbumpy2828 I’m literally just trying to be helpful I’ve seen this covered in one video like two years ago so I assume not many people know about the No armor slot debuff Maybe a lot of people post comments about this, I dunno, but I figure it’s not a bad thing to try and be helpful about something

[@horizonbumpy2828]

@@slycwby2478 yeah you're right. i thought this was the ''oh, you know wearing armor decreases damage taken'' comment. i should have read more carefully. my apologies

[@ninjazking6667]

not exactly a debuff, ds3 has 2 types of defenses, absorption and defense. Absorption is pretty easy to understand, the number that shows there is a percentage of damage taken from an attack, now defense makes no sense, but it scales with level, and is only active when you have armor on, so it ain't a debuff, you just didn't activate your defense. Though I will say, if I remember correctly, 0 defense makes you take more damage because of how the damage calculations work

[@slycwby2478]

@@ninjazking6667 Actively having any piece of armor on any section gives you a flat defense buff, the percent changes depending on which slot You can consider this a buff, but I consider having no clothes a debuff rather than the absence of a buff due to the fact most people in DS3 will have a full set of gear at all times So it’s more like there’s the two things an an extra odd bonus to the two things for just… interacting with either DS3 defense is weird

[@potatoskeli]

Fun tidbit of knowledge, splinter bolts are where the repeating crossbow and the one that fires 3 shots shine, especially if your luck Stat is high as bleed build up is affected by luck. If all the bolts hit the can actually proc bleed more than once per volly instant killing most enemy types with little or no bleed resistance.

Think I love most about runs that involve crossbows in any Fromsoft game is the hard proof and confirmation that damage per unit of ammo is more important than damage per second, especially when you can only carry a limited amount of ammo, and even more so when ammo costs money/souls/runes.

[@Kagezawa]

7:00 I recently did a run with bow only and it COULD POSSIBLY break the bridge. In addition, there are two ways. Greatbow with exploding arrows (hard way). There is also a simple method that I discovered by accident. Skeletons that throw knives(I remember that this skeleton seemed to have claws and knives. He is standing near the passage to the bridge) at you can break a bridge with these knives. Just lure them closer and try not to die. I'm actually surprised no one does this

I have always said this, Bows make half of DS3 easy, most annoying and dangerous enemies can be sniped with CERO drawbacks, Oceiros can be cheesed, the lothric castle dragons, ultra cheesed, gargoyles are a breeze, all 3 Friede phases can be cheesed with greatbows, all 3 outrider knights can be deleted in less than 2 minutes with the right shots, all of farron keep is a sniper dream, Abyss Watchers can be staggered to hell and back with any greatbow, twin princes can be deleted with any bow with the piercing weapon art. Don't get me wrong, I love my dex and str builds, but sometimes taking a break from desperate rolls and parries is nice.

I'm a bit late to the party on his one, but you can totally have Siegward save Greyrat after talking to him in Irithyll. You just have to not progress into the dungeon until after he saves Greyrat.
