Dark Souls 3: Inventory Management (PvP Guide Ep.1)

An in depth look at proper inventory management for maximum efficiency in pvp. Different builds with have different optimized inventories of course this is just one of many examples.
The inspiration for the video was given to me while watching Jeenine explain his inventory on his stream, he also created his own inventory tutorial for his strength build

Bold of you to assume they didn't already have it at SL125

[@NomTheDom]

@@sibren9874 fr, everyone has all weapons worth having at sl 90 easily

[@danger_noodle1246]

How about a guide on backstabbing with different weapons and how your opponent's weapon and latency effects it? Maybe you could also talk about when running behind someone is better or worse than rolling or reverse rolling? Also a tutorial on reverse rolling would be cool

[@Juliett-A]

A lot of that kind of stuff is just muscle memory and experience that can't really be taught.

[@DS_DoggerX]

@@Juliett-A I beg to differ, putting it in practice might be more like what you say, but you can definitely share knowledge on the appropriate situations and execution.

[@xJackNoirex]

Look up Project Goof; a notorious backstab fisher that made this into a respectable art form. He goes into great detail as well as having other guides that are generally still very useful for current PvP.

[@SkillfulCurve]

@@xJackNoirex thank you sir

[@xdd782]

DoggerX There are SO many vids on youtube explaining how, and project goof has some very good vids on it so there rly is no need to make a new one.

[@PoetsAges]

Ideas on things to cover: -Weight management is something I see a lot of newer players still struggling with. They don't understand the 3 weight thresholds. (30%, 70%,100%) Some people don't even realize there are more than 2. -Also, while invading perhaps you can demonstrate how to locate the host using the enemies in the level. Even some of my experienced friends don't fully understand how to read the level to find someone. -Balancing multiple opponents. As an invader you are often facing a host with one or more phantoms. Choosing and swapping to the right weapons is key to victory. As well as luring and choosing when and where to fight. -Level ranges/weapon levels and their effect on who you can invade. As well as where to find people around your range if you aren't at meta level. -How spellbuff effects caster classes and what items, weapon arts, and spells can be combined to maximize damage. -How deal with a pesky, spamming caster with or without his friends. -Parry/backstab guide -Split weapon damage, and why it hurts your overall damage. That's all I have right now. I'm sure I could think of more, but this is a ton already. I had to learn all this myself from friends and through research and testing. Having someone who compiles all of this into a series of video guides would have been enormously helpful and will do a lot for the community. Thanks for being a Bro. Edit: forgot a word

- weapon counterpicks and how to use specific weapon types - spacing - backstabbing / parrying - making and optimizing builds - swaps and useful glitches - duels tips / invasions tips ( what to do when you are outnumbered for example ) This is all that comes up to my mind so far new topics wise , am sure other people will suggest more . Ty for the guide btw , it's gonna help a lot .

[@kurdtcoben]

One thing (completely unrelated to the inventory) I like to do is, when I have an offhand Caestus for parrying, to hide it with armor. Certain gloves work well in disguising the active Caestus mostly and to hide the other Caestus on your belt a good way to hide it is any armor with a cape or other torso cloth physics. It's mostly a min-maxing kinda mindset to do this since most players don't pay attention to that kind of visual detail but some people do.

[@lofuw2580]

[@supercy8771]

Please continue this series, it's really helpful and I like hearing your voice :)

[@g3th_]

Awesome initiative Chase, I love that you listen to your subs' requests, much respect. As feedback, I'd say that using some actual PvP footage to ilustrate what you say as you explain it would be neat and would reinforce the point you're making (i.e., a demonstration on you out-of-stunlock parry and riposte swaps).

[@lovi6438]

I have waited so long for this. Thank you chase

[@user-gp5me5dn1x]

There's probably better options for riposte than BKGA but the 2h R2 wake up makes it worth doing a little less damage Very hard to avoid that wakeup, especially on a good connection

[@MNVinela]

[@YFisakov]

Wow, new series! Awesome!

[@RezDTB]

Great video! I've been following your channel for over 2 years now and picked some of these tricks from you, almost all of my builds have 5 dedicated weapon sloths for riposte ultras. And 5 cat rings in my inventory have saved my life so many times after I started to hard swap them. I kinda hope that Elden Ring would allow you to organize inventory by favorites and freely let you place items where you want, that would remove the need to have extra weapons for inventory planning.

[@TmttstheWhite]

I literally have to put it in .25x speed when you do menu swaps. That's some dedicated practice! Thanks for explaining the thinking and techniques!

[@dcgregorya5434]

Thanks for this Chase. One of the stupid ways I die is ring swapping or weapon swapping during a fight. Well laid out inventory makes this doable without taking unnecessary damage. One good thing to cover here that I think you missed is that you can claw your move joystick so that you're walking while inventory swapping which just makes you a little less likely to get rushed.

[@khaos2844]

Love you chase thanks for listening to what your fans want :D

[@WolfHreda]

I asked Lost so I'll suggest it here too. Getting a video from you guys detailing how to do the visual mods would be awesome. I know there are some modding tools that will get you banned quick fast and in a hurry, so knowing how to switch out the visual aspects alone would be amazing.

Corvian Weapon Art is actually parriable. Tested with the help of some willing skeletons. Might not be for human reaction speeds though

[@aaaabb1666]

I’d love to see similar videos about other builds! I’ve played quite a lot of dark souls PVP, but only recently found your channel and was very curious to see why why you had so many black night great axes in your inventory XD Also I find stuff about builds that aren’t at Meta a soul level just interesting in general

[@ElCasualTea]

This was awesome!

[@shydx2010]

A collab tutorial video on spacing would be awesome. You and other great PVP players harp on spacing all the time. It would be great to have you both demonstrate good and bad spacing for regular and laggy matches.

[@TheVDaddyo]

Great content from a master of DS3 PvP !

[@darkeather2]

Maybe a guide on how to approach gank situations? Like in the Ringed City, you know the gank squads that sit in the bonfire room the whole time and force you to fight 3 people with big aoe weapons in an enclosed space. Or ganks that stagger hits with chaos vestige or lightning arrow. Anyhow, thanks for the guide, I'm really looking forward to this series!

[@Erdbeer_Klumpen]

Really great. We want more! so… episode two is coming …. soon?

[@Hayden_M_Kearney]

Learning the ins and outs of stat allocation would be super useful. I think many people, myself included, don't understand how to efficiently allocate stat points to make a viable build. I love using random weapons rarely seen but getting them to work well is hard because I just don't know how to spec my character.

[@Duskwalker68]

Thanks for doing this!

[@helixcoder7237]

[@fluffyfolfgryph1176]

Hi Chase, love your vids! 😜

[@malralordway9641]

Oh boi, THIS is fucking awesome. I started improving in DS3 PvP thanks to your streams and vids, but lately I felt like I was missing some useful tools and tricks in order to be more efficient. So I started watching Goof's guides about pivot and roll backstabs, I spent many hours on soulsplanner to optimize my builds, I learnt how to reverse roll, how to make ravioli backsteps, how to estus cancel as well, I watched the DS3 Parry Guide video again and again, I checked reddit posts to make sure I knew what was parriable and what wasn't ... But then it's all about making use of all this theory. And of course, this isn't that easy at all. Knowing exactly when to parry against 3 men gank squads, when to backstep or go for backstabs, what to use in every situation, is for sure solid proof of a mastered PvP technique, and I really think a player who has such experience will almost always make the best decisions that will lead him to victory. So seeing you elaborate a PvP guide series makes me so damn happy. This first episode was really interesting, and I can't wait for you to teach us your best tips and tricks about critical attacks, spacing and timings. Keep up my dude !
