SA, if you're having trouble with Gwyn and need a winning tactic I've got one for you but there's a lot to it so you may want to copy and paste this and save it on a word document for later: the first thing you want to do is equip a small or normal shield in your left hand slot, then whenever he goes up to attack press the L2 button, he really can't handle it!

Well not really. Poise was working is ds1 :). That was actually how it was meant to work. Ds3' version of poise is weird. I couldn't really tell in ds2. But it seemed weird in that game too.

[@UnholyWrath3277]

@@ZLemons poise worked the same in ds2 as 1 with some small tweaks. Your average enemy just did more poise damage so it offset. Ds3 uses hyper armor on your weapon with poise basically being entirely pointless as ur weapon and timing makeup 99% of what'll keep you from stunlocking

To all you people making comments like "Really?

laurence isnt difficult if you equip a serrated weapon and basically take the same approach as the cleric beast, and after the legs come off, just stay on the side of his little arm. I found him to not be that difficult at all. And since I went for and got platinum, I had to do all the chalice bosses... And holy fucking shit was defiled watchdog the bane of my existence. Defiled watchdog is albino's rom for me. I even found defiled amygdala pretty easy. but fuck defiled watchdog. Also fuck ebrietas if you're not using a strength build, bc shes impossible if you cant stunlock her and do like 2000 damage a hit bc you have all the beast runes, a beast pellet, and bolt paper on the two-handed form of the kirkhammer with charged R2s.

I thought Nito weirdly spams an annoying attack if you have a light source. Also the Orsnstein and Smough fight it way harder if you kill Smough first. Alot of people like the loot from killing Orsnstein second better so many do just that and find a much harder boss.

[@guyfarting2060]

King1Anime Call me a Sadist, but I found killing Smough to be much easier. Since Ornstein grows to about twice his size during the second phase, ducking under his legs basically grants you immunity to most of his attacks. Not to mention his lightning butt-slam is alot easier to dodge than Smough's.

[@5oundOfVictory]

and he loses all of his speed, which was what made ornstein even a threat at all, though a small one

It’s slower with a bigger parry window then the other games.

[@lovrokovacic2394]

I rarely understood why Manus is considered so hard to beat; could be a build thing. Myself, with a +5 crystal halberd, Sanctus (because sweet sweet health regen) and a beefed up paladin set, he went down in 3rd attempt (because I wasted first two looking for Sif summon sign) Artorias is a pain in his power mode, so I spent cca 8 tries before I figured out I could stagger him during the animation.

Skeletons stay perma dead if you use a Holy weapon, or Weapon modified with holy damage. I also suck at parrying. I couldn't parry a basic hollow if my life depended on it.

When he starts to attack count to 3 basically just hit the parry button at the exact moment you would say 3 and you can parry him. Any charge attack you start the count when he charges.

When stray demon swings the staff to his side the ape is directly in front of him so it's best to stay behind him during that move, and when he slams the staff into the ground, the aoe is just encasing his body so backing up a but works too.
