I str8 beat so many DS3 bosses without dying even once using a greatsword. Elden Ring I used Curved Swords. I miss the great combos that Greatswords have, being able to lunge & stab, swing and smash gives great flexibility but I cannot deny the power of the CAW CAW!! JUMP ATTACK!

You can jump out of the elevator halfway and there's an area to explore with a fire demon mini boss.... I think the area has a lot of stuff for upgrades... Definitely worth doing

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.
@@augustoventosa1949 I don't think Gael is the hardest. His fight is so engaging you don't feel the passage of time. sister friede however, punishes any greed aggressively.
@@Do0mSl4yer95 in the 2nd and 3rd phase definitely. In the 1st absolutely not, only if you are over level 140+ and even so she does insane amounts of damage.
Kicking is when you press foward and attack at the same time, after you let go of the controll stick for a sec. it is usefull to break the stance of blocking enemys with shields and such.
You’ve got the perfect personality for this. I can almost never watch another person game but you make this incredibly entertaining. I hate Twitch but you’ve got my sub.
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. The kick is for when an enemy holds up a shield, it throws them into an animation that can get you a crit. If they look big or heavy, it probably wont work though
I play with my palm wrist and chest because I'm paralyzed and ds3 is my favorite, ds1 and 2 are harder. If you want to add me I'll play through it with you
@ratboy555 I find the boss pretty good it's a test of Croud Control Or if you are way more stronger than the Decons then it's just fun to destroy entire crouds of Decons lol
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!
Hey flo, you have missed some upgrade materials for your estus. Youve also missed some other important things back at the undead settlement. But just take your time and enjoy this game man. Its amazing
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
I will never understand why people WANT to be stressed out and have a pulse rate of 210 fighting unfair bosses, but I've never played DS or ER specifically BECAUSE I don't enjoy that feeling, as if I had 50 espressos and get all shaky. Bleh. I almost didn't buy Black Myth Wukong for the same reason - and I ended up finding several bosses in that very frustrating, but I did beat it multiple times and platinum it - BUT the developer's stated goal was for the difficulty level to be "sightly less than some DS games, but satisfyingly challenging at times" - which is 100% true in that I found challenge, but the sort where once you die a few times, you understand the boss mechanics on each one, when to dodge, what to look out for, repeat until you win - it seems DS has the same mindset behind it - die until you get good enough to beat it - but I feel as though if DS is even 10 or 20% harder, that is already going to guarantee I will hate it since I got VERY pissed off at one boss in particular in BMW that I - and a ton of other people - died to many many times. I feel BMW is riding that line where if it was 25% harder, it'd be too hard - 25% easer, it wouldn't be challenging ENOUGH - then again even with BMW there's a built-in thing where every enemy gets noticably stronger, more hp, hits harder, every NG+, to the point where by NG+9 or 10 EVERYTHING can one-shot you if you don't dodge EVERYTHING. BUT, I'm not that much of a masochist that I'd deliberately beat it that many times PUREly to transform it into a nearly impossible to win game. It's an option that is there I guess for DS lovers who want to be PUNISHED for f'ing up a dodge - which given you'd be one-shotted if you beat it enough times, is exactly what'd happen. SO. Here's my question, as a COMPlete outsider to DS - DOES it have ANY ability to get AROUND not being awesome at dodging / parrying 100% of the time - as in...can I level grind, upgrade things, and get stronger, enough to where there's SOME room for error? If not....sounds too stressful.
I started playing this game recently and spent almost 3 hours straight playing the Abyss Watchers until I killed them. Keep trying and thank you for making these videos!
I got stuck on the dancer for days, then changed to a heavy great shield that staggered his attacks, it's a game that needs the right equipment at the right place sometimes
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.
Same. It's been a while since I've gotten to see someone on the left side of "git gud." I think we all remember when we, too, called foul and yelled at the game for being "janky" or "unfair" when it was just a matter of learning the games rules.
@@LG-gd7lo I can almost hear the commentary talking about what bullshit it is that getting there is so hidden, and then the constant discussion of how hard the base enemies are and the dragon lol
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.
@@KillingKarmatically 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.
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
Theres a estus upgrade ring somewhere in firelink shrine ;) Theres also no shame if you just want to look up locations for estus upgrade materials. you'll need them
It works both ways IMO. I also played 3 before one but DS3 has so many references to Dark Souls 1 that I still often went like "Ahh I remember this" or "Ahh so that's how it was like at first".
@@valentinvas6454 I don’t know, man, the surprise and context are just gone at that point. You’d just go “oooh, so that’s what that was all about”, instead of the “holy shit, this is the greatest thing in the world” like you would if you played DS1 first
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
"This boss is easy" and the abyss watchers took that personally! 1000+ hrs in this game and its never boring to watch someone play through it the first time! Poor innocent lambs...
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. It also has a cool WA and sometimes all you need is a vibe change. Love your content. Don’t go Hollow, you can do this! ❤
Good lord that brings back memories, that sword was pure pvp nightmare with upwards of 1300+ dmg on a R1+WA. PvE melts just as fast it's such a crazy STR weapon.
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
Respect I played early game lord of the fallen and raged and souls is harder plan to get monster hunter world on steam and it’s supposedly easier but still decently challenging
I love the Abyss Watchers fight, it’s so cool. But yeah you definitely need to explore every area, you missed a big fight at the top of the elevator in the previous area.
You beat ‘Lies of P’, you’ve got this keep going. Only thing I’d say is that it looks like you’re doing a challenge run, by not using everything the game gives you. Anyway great video, you’ll soon get to 100k. 👍
I can definitely see the Bloodborne levels of aggression in your play style. Also, the kick is when you tap forward and attack at the same time; you probably worked that out already though.
7:50 love how you ignore all of crucifixion woods and skip the sage and instead go straight for the abyss watchers. if you thought you were underleveled before, wait until after that fight
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. Since then I've been in love with souls games, I played the entire ds3, elden ring, bloodborne and I have sekiro and ds1 ready to go.
After putting in hundreds of hours into DS1, DS2 & Bloodborne. I found DS3 pretty easy, except for bosses like Nameless King and Dankeater Midir. I always had to summon players to help me with those guys. I haven't played Elden Ring yet though.
Yeah I don't know what this dude is talking about. He said that he heard that lies of P was harder then d3? Lies of P is probably the easiest game in that genre...
Honestly I gotta say without RUclips or google, elden is way harder hands down, but I think most of the boss fights are around the same difficulty, I personally just favor dark souls because of its tight spaces and layered aesthetic. Could just be my nostalgia though cause it was my first souls game
Dark souls 3 was my first souls game I ever played... It was a nightmare trying to play through it but also one of the best games I've experienced once all was said and done
It's always part of the fun about DS games is seeing how other people do vs the various bosses. For me personally this boss was a first try. I don't know if I was over leveled or not but I managed to beat him first attempt being extremely patient.
Ayyyy I thought I remembered your voice. I watched you finish Lies of P which I was also having a blast with at the time... and now here you are playing my favorite game of all time!
in Ds3 panic rolling is a death sentence I feel like ER was a little more lenient on that lol. When I saw the Dark knights behind you I cackled bc I knew exactly what was gonna happen 🤣. Bro you're killing me with that kick, I've never seen someone Struggle with that so hard 🤣
Relatable 😂 Keep going, and don't get discouraged. Abyss Watchers are fun. If you stop there, you'll be missing out on bosses who are wayyy more fun to play with 😊
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.
It’s important to grind bro! Get that XP up and level over and over!! That area is perfect for XP farming, that’s how I beat the Bosses there! Good video! DS3 is definitely a hard frustrating game but it’s doable 😂
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.
Bro, your thoughts are very similar to all our thoughts on our first playthrough.... Abyss Watchers seem impossible at first, my best advice, soul farm, level up as much as possible. It'll take time but worth it!
i dont know if you will read this and if it will help you, but i have a smal hint: instead of dodging away from the attacks, try dodging INTO the attack! when you dodge away the strike follows you very often and still hits you. but when you dodge in the oposite direction of the incoming attack, INTO the attack, you will have an easier time evadeing.
The "I'm always lost, and don't know where I'm supposed to be" is something that hits me on all Souls Games and I swear them off. I'm hoping Elden Ring (which currently is better) helps.
Lol i see comments all over the place. Some people say ER is the hardest, some say DS3, 2, Demon souls...i think it really comes down to personal experience and build..i had a much easier time in DS3 than ER. BUT, i went to DS3 right after beating ER.. so i think my momentum carried over. I burned thru DS3 in 3 days..bosses seemed easier to read imo, as someone who played them back to back..but like i said, i think its based a lot in circumstance.
FYI bosses become a lot easier if you literally don’t even attack the first (maybe second also) attempt. Makes it so much easier to learn their moves and isn’t as frustrating since you plan on dying
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. Plus I from my experience having something ranged to pull enemies is very handy and also not running like headless chicken and not letting yourself to get surrounded / flanked also helps a lot.
3:00 - tbf you can just open door behind him (animation makes you invulnerable to damage), lit the bonfire thats outside and just cheese this guy on the doorway since he cant leave the building
FYI bandits knife and rapier are the best weapons in the game. bandits knife has quickstep fast attacks and bleed " imbue it with a bleed gem, and rapier make it sharp and get 30 faith for sunlight blade it shreds everything is super fast and "i think it has a parry" build dex hp stamina and 30 faith also Caestus is the best offhand weapon in game imbue it with a simple buff for slow regen to fp best pary phrames in game and has a great special ability.
“Its a greatsword, I’m not gonna use that”
Oh you poor innocent elden ring soul, greatswords are freaking amazing in 3.
They are freaking amazing in Elden Ring too actually
they are quite strong in ER too.
did my whole first playthrough with a greatsword.
I str8 beat so many DS3 bosses without dying even once using a greatsword. Elden Ring I used Curved Swords. I miss the great combos that Greatswords have, being able to lunge & stab, swing and smash gives great flexibility but I cannot deny the power of the CAW CAW!! JUMP ATTACK!

Not for me it’s not… at all.
But that’s cool if it has that effect on you.
It's amazing that someone can play Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Lies of P and think that bum-rushing and panic rolling is the solution lmao
To be fair, Bloodborne is a very aggressive game. It's all about bum rushing.
You can jump out of the elevator halfway and there's an area to explore with a fire demon mini boss.... I think the area has a lot of stuff for upgrades... Definitely worth doing

The kicking keybind is honestly the worst one, I always accidentally did it and it would ruin fights for me many times.
At the blacksmith you can reallocate your estus and get ride of the blue charges which are for magic, it'll give you more health charges
he also uses the uchigatana's weapon art, which does drain FP, so he probably has a few ashen flasks for that

Respect I played early game lord of the fallen and raged and souls is harder plan to get monster hunter world on steam and it’s supposedly easier but still decently challenging
Good lord I’ve played this game so many times it’s like re-experiencing the game all over again for the first time
so PAINFUL to watch
I love the Abyss Watchers fight, it’s so cool. But yeah you definitely need to explore every area, you missed a big fight at the top of the elevator in the previous area.
You beat ‘Lies of P’, you’ve got this keep going. Only thing I’d say is that it looks like you’re doing a challenge run, by not using everything the game gives you.
Anyway great video, you’ll soon get to 100k. 👍
It’s not a choice though. The challenge presented itself 😂
I can definitely see the Bloodborne levels of aggression in your play style. Also, the kick is when you tap forward and attack at the same time; you probably worked that out already though.
7:50 love how you ignore all of crucifixion woods and skip the sage and instead go straight for the abyss watchers. if you thought you were underleveled before, wait until after that fight
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.
Since then I've been in love with souls games, I played the entire ds3, elden ring, bloodborne and I have sekiro and ds1 ready to go.
After putting in hundreds of hours into DS1, DS2 & Bloodborne. I found DS3 pretty easy, except for bosses like Nameless King and Dankeater Midir. I always had to summon players to help me with those guys. I haven't played Elden Ring yet though.
3:34 "Another bonfire yo this games treating me good right now"
*in front of the swamp of assclappery*
Personally Elden ring gave me more trouble than dark souls 3
Yes me too
Yeah I don't know what this dude is talking about. He said that he heard that lies of P was harder then d3? Lies of P is probably the easiest game in that genre...
Another crabs treasure is harder
Honestly I gotta say without RUclips or google, elden is way harder hands down, but I think most of the boss fights are around the same difficulty, I personally just favor dark souls because of its tight spaces and layered aesthetic. Could just be my nostalgia though cause it was my first souls game
This has to be 🧢
"Oh its a greatsword I'm not gonna use that" See, that's why you're struggling.
it was so cool how your friend helped you at this time 18:41
Dark souls 3 was my first souls game I ever played... It was a nightmare trying to play through it but also one of the best games I've experienced once all was said and done
It's always part of the fun about DS games is seeing how other people do vs the various bosses.
For me personally this boss was a first try. I don't know if I was over leveled or not but I managed to beat him first attempt being extremely patient.
also, the kick imput is walk forwards and light attack, what it does is basically breaks the guard of enemies with shields
Ayyyy I thought I remembered your voice. I watched you finish Lies of P which I was also having a blast with at the time... and now here you are playing my favorite game of all time!
Literally how I be talkin dagum this was great/hilarious man keep being you! 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been replaying DS3 for the first time since Elden Ring and it’s really nice during boss fights having enough time to drink again.
I love how you said he doesn’t get staggered, then immediately realized afterwards that he does get staggered like four separate times 😂
"am I underlevel for this area?" nope, just underlevel for the game 😔
in Ds3 panic rolling is a death sentence I feel like ER was a little more lenient on that lol. When I saw the Dark knights behind you I cackled bc I knew exactly what was gonna happen 🤣. Bro you're killing me with that kick, I've never seen someone Struggle with that so hard 🤣
ER lets you panic roll for free.
killing the tree is a great idea for the kiln. i honestly love the greatswords you can get from boss souls
Why do you have a FP flask if you’re not going to use it in a boss fight?
Relatable 😂 Keep going, and don't get discouraged.
Abyss Watchers are fun. If you stop there, you'll be missing out on bosses who are wayyy more fun to play with 😊
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.
Elden ring was my first and only souls game I ever played, I had the most brutal experience playing dark souls 3 for the first time
enters abyss watchers fight: "don't tell me i gotta fight two" famous last word xD
I just love how bro was saying Abyss Watchers was gonna be easy then exits the game
DS3 is my first time playing souls game and its amazing - my friend guiding me through the game when I struggle so it makes stuff a bit easier
It’s important to grind bro! Get that XP up and level over and over!! That area is perfect for XP farming, that’s how I beat the Bosses there! Good video! DS3 is definitely a hard frustrating game but it’s doable 😂
DS3 is my favorite souls game. Art design, gameplay, lore. Just does it for me. First play through was so much fun. So was the 50th.
Can’t even lie, watching him get absolutely humbled by the abyss watchers was extremely cathartic
YOOO big W with the hotel Krat music in the background 🔥🔥🔥
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.
This video just makes me feel great about myself knowing I could handle this fight within ten tries my first play through
Dark pyromancer build is pretty dope, I literally had a win streak of 12 in 1v1's. Rocked the onyx blade to complement the build.
You had me astma laughing at "his sword just lit up".
Who’s gonna tell him about the nameless king… cuz I wont
so nice to see a blind run so much later! so many good memories thank you.
Bro, your thoughts are very similar to all our thoughts on our first playthrough....
Abyss Watchers seem impossible at first, my best advice, soul farm, level up as much as possible. It'll take time but worth it!
"After the first attempt, the bosses get harder" - truer words have never been spoken!
i dont know if you will read this and if it will help you, but i have a smal hint: instead of dodging away from the attacks, try dodging INTO the attack! when you dodge away the strike follows you very often and still hits you. but when you dodge in the oposite direction of the incoming attack, INTO the attack, you will have an easier time evadeing.
The "I'm always lost, and don't know where I'm supposed to be" is something that hits me on all Souls Games and I swear them off. I'm hoping Elden Ring (which currently is better) helps.
i love see him so greedy and still said souls veteran and he doesnt learn the boss😂😭
He doesn't play like a veteran...at all. What are you on? 🤨
Watching you play reminds me of the first times I played this game. Such painful memories lmao
Lol i see comments all over the place. Some people say ER is the hardest, some say DS3, 2, Demon souls...i think it really comes down to personal experience and build..i had a much easier time in DS3 than ER. BUT, i went to DS3 right after beating ER.. so i think my momentum carried over. I burned thru DS3 in 3 days..bosses seemed easier to read imo, as someone who played them back to back..but like i said, i think its based a lot in circumstance.
first video i watch in your channel but it really good tho, keep up the good work bro!
FYI bosses become a lot easier if you literally don’t even attack the first (maybe second also) attempt. Makes it so much easier to learn their moves and isn’t as frustrating since you plan on dying
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. Plus I from my experience having something ranged to pull enemies is very handy and also not running like headless chicken and not letting yourself to get surrounded / flanked also helps a lot.
3:00 - tbf you can just open door behind him (animation makes you invulnerable to damage), lit the bonfire thats outside and just cheese this guy on the doorway since he cant leave the building
Funny to see everyone's experience with this fight. As its considered one of the more easy fights by most people
Elden Ring baby's first soulsborn
You can do this! I struggled on the abyss watchers myself and I'm now on journey 3.
Chanting "level up your vigor" in my head for the longest time.
Love to hear the amazing Lies Of P sound in background
Nice job taking that step back to explore. Abyss watchers is a hard boss.
FYI bandits knife and rapier are the best weapons in the game. bandits knife has quickstep fast attacks and bleed " imbue it with a bleed gem, and rapier make it sharp and get 30 faith for sunlight blade it shreds everything is super fast and "i think it has a parry" build dex hp stamina and 30 faith also Caestus is the best offhand weapon in game imbue it with a simple buff for slow regen to fp best pary phrames in game and has a great special ability.
Imagine your first Souls game you ever played being DS3. I learned and got good on this game which made Bloodborne and Elden Ring really easy to play.
Your first attempt at abyss watchers I thought wow this dude is gaming, then it turned into the dark souls experience the rest of us had :D
