You kick when you press to move forward and attack at the same time. It takes some getting used to moving first or attacking stationary.

You need Bone Shards to upgrade the healing each flask use does. Other than that, hope ya like this game! Out of all the games you've tried this one was the hardest for me. (Excluding Lies of P, because I haven't played that yet.) Edit: oh also! The kick happens when you press forward and attack at the same time. So just make sure you're not pressing both when you're fighting.

[@aaronjohnson9529]

Wait how am I suppose to not hit both at the same time? Isn’t that how you fight?

[@redfrog1628]

@@aaronjohnson9529 when you're fighting you should either be holding forward and then press attack, or press attack while not moving. Moving forward and attacking at the exact same time will cause the kick. I kinda wish there was an option to turn it off or something, because some people go through the game entirely without using it.

[@stolenname94]

Everyone said lies of p was mega hard. Tbh I found it easier than any souls game. However 1 or 2 bosses nearly made me rage quit the game. It has one flaw though and that's the throwables being op against bosses

[@milkcarton999]

BTW go back to the beginning of the undead settlement when you reach the gate that two dogs come out of go the opposite way until you go through the Archway then talk to one of the corpses once they disappear go back to firelink and look around for them and talk to them the service he offers is related to an Ending and also to get more of it do you have to die multiple times

[@milkcarton999]

A couple more tips that you would miss go back to the elevator walk on the pressure plate to send it down the moment you step on it jump off and wait for the second one and go all the way up talk to the NPC on top of the tower then if you go back to the location where you would get hit by arrows you no longer get targeted pick up every item you see as one of them does power up your flask

[@milkcarton999]

Go back to the Castle and that room where the dogs and exploding barrels were and pick up the item on the Anvil it increases how many flasks you have unlike elden ring go back to firelink I'm guessing you've talked to the Buff man in firelink he can increase how many you have to power it up you have to go to a bonfire and click burn Undead shards or bones

[@danieltimbrell2880]

Stop attacking until you run out of stamina, you need to leave enough to be able to dodge away. Stop pressing forward while attacking, that's why you keep kicking the air for no reason. Look for some undead bone shards to upgrade how much health is regained with each estus flask. There is 1 in Undead Settlement, 1 in Farron Keep, 1 in Cathedral of the Deep, burn them at Firelink Shrine bonfire. If you want the game to be easier then get rid of the Uchi and use a 100% physical shield and a straight sword or spear. If you think boss runbacks in this game are bad then don't bother playing Dark Souls 2.

[@wiktorutracki6469]

So refreshing 🤩 it brings happiness to my heart to see others in pain in DS :D That's DS in the purest form: struggling, constantly on the verge of giving up, but then euphoric and rewarded for persistence and getting good. DS3 and DS1 are the best imo

[@lollekompolle]

You're kicking because you press forward and R1 at the same time. Kick is actually pretty useful against shielded enemies because it depletes way more of their poise than a normal hit would. Most of the time you can easily get in a critical hit after a kick on a shield.

[@benozonoff4309]

The Abyss watchers are pretty straight forward if you bait out the back stab!!

[@FerraBrice]

gonna just say something you can be thankfull for, in the Firelink shrine, there are stairs on ther right of the entrance where you find a tower, from the entrance perspective, is there a tree where you can glitch jump into the cealing, there you can find another estus shard, good luck, and the boss fights will only become better (most of them) after Abyss Watchers

You can also use the grass crest shield as it has built in stamina recovery i also figured out the one handed attacks are faster but do less damage then two handed which do more damage but are slower

[@renalexander9567]

Have you considered maybe trying the exile greatsword? It’s not as fast, sure, but you seem to like tanking damage so a greatsword would give you some hyper armor for your attacks.

The difficulty is what makes the game so rewarding. idk how many times I stood up and cheered after killing a boss who's been beating me for hours. I remember jumping with Joy after killing the Nameless King

[@ANS_2009]

You can use bone shards to upgrade the flasks the estus shards to increase the amount of flasks other than that find and equip rings for buffs , you can also get boss weapons which requires an item to give to the guy on throne with no legs and trade in boss souls for it. If you find souls which are not boss souls use them for either upgrading your weapon or buying things or level up. Dark spirits only spawn in if you have an ember equiped which gets restored after killing the bosses or buying and using. It can also show summon signs aid you in bosses

[@aidanselman2259]

So here for this journey. Keep strong brother

[@nonames1139]

i finally beat ds3 earlier this morning and what Ive learned is that honestly...... it only was a hard game when I tried to be too ballsy and was overconfident. I did a dex build/sellswords and (was my first time playing) I leveled up and honestly thought I was untouchable , until I met the right enemy. I died so many times to Champion Gundyr/the nameless king/ The twin princes/ and Lord of cinder. But, I only died to them because I didnt take my time and study their attacks. What an excellent game it was, on to elden ring now!

[@tylersaysno400]

Another crazy thing about this game is the 2 huge secret areas. You get to one by knocking down a bridge and then climbing down it (so unbelievably easy to miss) and then to get to the other, you have to use a specific emote and wait a certain amount of time. It’s crazy

[@angellord9433]

If you push the left stick forward and light attack at the same time you will start a kick. Start moving first, then attack. Also the rule of thumb for bosses is dodge/block, attack 1-2 time's, and dodge/block (repeat till boss dies). If you do more than two attacks you will have a 50% or higher chance of dark souls punishing you for greed. (depends on boss attack frequency) Bonus note: You should have 10 flasks at +3 by now. A little more exploration will do you good. (Past this note are the Shard/Bone area's before the Abyss Watchers, but not specifically where in them.) 1.High Wall of Lothric (shard) 2.Undead Settlement (Shard+Bone) 3.Road of Sacrifices (Shard) 4.Farron Keep (Shard+Bone) 5.Cathedral of the Deep (Shard+Bone) 6.Firelink Shrine (Shard)

Katanas are just beginning of the game weapons. You need the Flamberge, the Wolf Sword, or an Ax as a mid-game weapon. Level up that stamina too. That is what allows you to use heavier armor as well.

[@placamae9635]

Darksouls 3 was the first souls game I played , and the abyss watchers almost made me quit the game, but when I was about to give up and uninstall it I tried a little more and managed to do it.

[@mattheusspoo]

Also, you kick by pressing foward and the light attack at the same time. If you are already holding foward when you attack, or is not moving, you'll attack, but if you press foward and L1(or whatever is your light attack button) u'll kick. Believe be, is harder to do when you want than when you don't want. btw, it's used to kick enemies shield, so you break their instance.

[@omnipresentl1316]

I played through Elden Ring as my first Soul's Game then played through Dark Souls 1 and 2 with me currently in the middle of Dark Souls 3. It is challenging but definitely not the hardest time I've had. I just needed to adapt my play style a bit and think through how I do things. Like how I used a Bow to separate those two NPC enemies in the Swamp area so I didn't get ganked. As long as you play carefully and have a bit of patience then it isn't to bad. Dogs are about the same across all the Souls games so dodge to the side and immediately strike them before they repeatedly beat your cheeks.

[@FlailheadGaming]

I think that's the beauty of FS games, they all have their unique challenges. I came to Elden Ring from Bloodborne and DS3 and found general combat fine but the bosses overall harder. It'll be interesting going back to those games after Elden Ring as ER gives you more cues for stuff like poise damage, weak points,etc, which the other games do have but don't tell you about! So I'm sure I'll play then differently

You want to have easy time ? Either grab straight sword and shield or grab the boss weapon from vordt ( Big mace with icing on it. ) Game is a cakewalk with either of those options.
