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]

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.

[@codysykes5568]

If you lose your souls and try to make a mad dash back to retrieve them, you WILL get rekt by something as small as a Hollow you didn't see before.

[@UnknownbronyChannel]

@@codysykes5568 lmao only if u don't know how to mad dash

[@tomthecasual5337]

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.

law 9 bis, when you die with a certain critical amount of souls, suddently, every, SINGLE, mobs on the way back to said souls enter "berserk mode" with improved aggro, and sometimes even new moves or paterns you never seen and will never see again when you inevitably die, leaving your soul counter to zero and the ennemies back to "lamb mode"

[@desmondkenway4952]

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. Fuck. Midir.

then for some reason the enemies attacks seem to get faster and faster and faster, by the time youve blocked like 7 hits you still cant get out of the corner spot cuz the enemies are physical and you cant ghost through them, and then they break your guard and 1 shot kill you, a place where this is especially dangerous is in dafrk souls 1 where you are going below a bridge with a dragon on top guarding the entrance to the bridge and you come to this tiny room to encounter poisonus rats the entrance to it is not so bad... its just that when youre coming the other way there is a ladder to go back down into the tiny dark room, by which time the rats would have placed themselves strategically to get the jump on you every single goddam time, and of course you get trapped again in the corner because the ladder placement wasnt wel lthought out neither was the camera placement in the corner

I agree with the "Everyone will become a Knight" Thing. 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. But finally 4 Days ago i made a pure Intelligence Build, Sl 120+ with 80+ Int. Its definitely a new experience and made the Game different for sure.

I have many characters and I made them with their purpose in mind. I have a strength build based in using heavy armor, greatshields, and heavy weapons. I have a scythe wielding dex/int build. 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.

[@Cynistrelle]

Bluemilk92 not to me am always a sorcerer and keep with it

[@Bluemilk92]

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.

[@RaveOfNightmares]

Or a rapier type sword. Because: Red Mage

[@stevenjones7823]

Bluemilk92 I went from knight to pyromancer in the first on my first playthrough and kept it that way ever since until 3. I'm a dex build in 3 idk it just feels right this time. I usually don't like playing like that I either like magic or giant swords

[@noctemcat_]

Bluemilk92 I remember playind ds1 without armor and shield, it was fun.

[@motorcycleman115]

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 😎

LMAO I love how you transitioned from bosses being subjective to hating pontiff. because yeah I beat him in 20 seconds and felt cheated. good video

[@Manganization]

Pontiff is easy for me too. My brothers absolutely hate him and wish he doesn't exist in the game. Meanwhile Snat Slug (aka Aldrich) is a boss which I fear having to fight ever again. It took me 56 damn tries for this unfair piece of shit! They always say don't blame the game, but almost everything about this boss is so erratic and glitchy! By the time I've beaten the bitch I was already dead inside.

[@SaganTheKhajiit]

I beat him in 20 seconds too. Right after I died to him so many times I memorized his whole moveset.

[@xShadowbane451]

Yeah Pontiff is a joke if you're just a little good at parrying. Even without parrying his clone move takes a second to pop up, so you can just whale on him. Although I did get my ass kicked by Dragonslayer Armour, so I probably have no room to talk.

[@Atavar]

For me Pontiff also felt like a pushover so I was pretty surprised when I heard others having lot's of trouble with him. But I have enough trouble with other bosses, Abyss Watchers and Sister Frieda took me really a lot of tries. 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.

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.

[@ajflink]

After dying an embarrassing number of times at the High Walls of Lothric, I approached the game with a simple but effective mentality. Firstly, NEVER assume a new area is empty or has easy enemies. Cautiously and slowly navigate the new area with a torch or shield out observing all the details for clues as to what fatal threat may await you. Secondly, treat every, and I mean every, enemy, especially visually intimidating and/or grotesque ones, like bosses. Thirdly, the game is full of environmental details that are like either warning signposts or neon "Welcome" signs. Although, you should also assume that these hints may be polar opposites of reality.

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]

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
