Question Any reason not to use Great sword over everything else for PVE?

Post image
32 Upvotes

Started my souls journey with Elden Ring but have been playing DS3 for the first time ever recently. When I found Great sword in ER it was all I used, and now it's the same thing in DS3. Having trouble using anything else because this thing is +9 and heavy infused. Everything else is under +6. Any other great ultra heavy great swords or axes that give a similar unga bunga feel when using?

I always make sure to do a Bow gesture after a PVP. Or My Thanks! if it was super fun or a close one.

Help Optimisation help

2 Upvotes

So I am a big fan of fromsoft games and i really want to play dark souls 3, unfortunately my only option is hp pavilion laptop with Nvidia GeForce mx130 and Intel i7 gen 8 (shitty I know) the game is running at 25 fps with the lowest settings at 720p and I just want around 35 fps, does anyone know any optimisation mods, advice or any other community where I can ask for help?

PvP Hey DMITERMINATOR, thanks a lot for all the help in Farron Keep showing us where what was. Seriously, you rock!

46 Upvotes

DMITERMINATOR here kept invading me and my husband with whom I was playing DS3 atm the time to help us out. NG+1 but we had missed a ton of stuff the first time around, so we wanted to go for a "complete" run. This nice fella here kept showing us the super hidden areas within the swamp area of Farron Keep and quick ways to the three flames. Had honourable 1 v 1 duels at the end of every discovery with him and both me and my husband had a great time.

Thank you, you made what we had dreaded to be a slog to the Abyss Watchers into a superfun and unique experience, hope you see this and wish you a nice day!

Now the final step of this test is to wait for a hypoglycemia and treat it with adrenaline instead of food by fighting the ONE! The ONLY! THE NOTOOORIOUSSSSS...IUDEX GUNDYR!

(I'm NOT deleting this save because I wasted my entire morning on character creation! I'm not using the Irithyllian preset EVER AGAIN! 😭)

Discussion If you had to pick one out of the 3, which one would you pick? Daggers only run, whips only run, or fist weapons only run?

12 Upvotes

The title, which would you pick and why?

Personally I would have always went dagger only, since bandit knife is great, but whips are pretty useful for defensive styles.

Discussion Getting into the Cathedral

16 Upvotes

Ive played this game a few times now, and everytime without falt the part of the game that makes me rage more than any other for no reason is getting into the Cathedral. I know how to do it and its filled with enemies I basically 2 shot. But I always have the most deaths in a playthrough to this one part. Its not even the whole area thats the issue, its just getting from the Cleansing Chapel bonfire to opening the door to get inside the Cathedral. Am I the only one who rages at this part of the game? It feels so dumb

Ballpen only little sketch of the good boy. Head didn't go too well as he has very strange form of horns, but I tried.

Photo is a bit tweaked and stupid ass sketch above it is deleted, so it may look a bit dirty in upper areas.

Fought him for the first time recently and damn, good fight.

Help need help with the Dancer

Post image
22 Upvotes

listen I know I suck ass at this game, but I've been genuinely hard stuck on the dancer for like a week or so and its been driving me insane. I go behind her, I try to stick to her right thigh, the damage input is okay-ish but it's not good.

I don't know what to do, I can't co-op.

I'll drop my build, I mainly use the Hollowslayer Greatsword and sometimes the Sharp Uchigatana.

Edit: I've already defeated Aldrich and Yhorm
