    The souls games are always sooo hard in the beginning. I played bloodbourne , elden ring , and now I'm working on darksouls 3. Honestly elden ring was the easiest so far .

      Really, going back from DS3 to DS1,2, they seem more easy. Because they have more slow and strategic battles, while in DS3 and above it's all spectacle fighting and never ending compo attacks. I don't know if I play more DS3 whether I will get used to it, but going back to DS1 or even the DS2 that everyone things is jank and I am having more fun than this.

  • @a_betancourth

    Another advise I can give; with most builds you can use the dark axe you get from the mimic pretty much untill undead settelment. That way you dont have to spend ur titanite if the weapon you want to use is not a starting one c:

    You start out with enough endurance for 4 L1’s with the twinblades. 17 is the magic number to get you 5, or 4 L1’s and a roll. The faster you get to 17 endurance, the better off you’ll be.

  • @Optimus6128
    @Optimus6128 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    First playthrough and was just playing with the default Axe. I upgraded that one and never thought of all the other jank I was collecting. Second build, after seeing a speedrunner destroying everything with the dual wielding blades of another class, I started with this one. They can be more effective and with dex, even if my axe shows more damage total in the original build. But I mainly focused on increasing vigor and endurance on this one. Really, game doesn't let you play other builds as easilly. I am getting destroyed anyways, enemies are too fast and spam 6 combos or more, totally miscominucating their moves, like I don't know when to attack. But anway, with certain weapons and starting build strategies the second run seemed a bit easier.

    • @bigbart_
      @bigbart_  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      the axe shows more damage per hit, but if you're using the special L1/LB attack of the twinblades, you're hitting more than the number on the tooltip shows and the attack is faster than the axe.
      learning to dodge when you first start out is definitely challenging, but you will eventually get the hang of it and the game will become easy. Dark souls 3 definitely does have some annoying mobs though no doubt, it's just a case of learning and remembering their attack patterns which can only come with time.

  • @nezkeys79
    @nezkeys79 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

    Aa a certified new player to the series of last month....
    1) Pyromancer is OP. It's DS3 on easy mode because 90% of the time you dont even need to learn an enemies movesets.
    Great Chaos Fireball, and Black Flame Orb for anything that resists fire. You can beat almost anything before it even gets in range. I rarely used melee weapons (only against dogs/wolves). Both pyro rings + Lloyds Sword Ring + Fire Clutch Ring/Dark Clutch Ring
    2) Parry and Backstabs (hard to master but once you get the timings down they do loads of damage)

    I put off playing Dark Souls for many years just because of its reputation. Currently on my first playthrough here, using the Twinblades, and I'm just surprised at how easy the game becomes. Did many of the supposed hardest bosses in one or two tries. I almost feel like I have to replay the game with a different build, just to get a harder challenge.

      Thank you! If you managed to beat ER, you already have what it takes to beat the rest! one tip i can offer for when you get around to it - the black knight weapons in dark souls 1 do quite insane damage, such as the black knight greatsword or halberd, but they’re an RNG drop. You can increase your % chance to get them by using humanities before fighting the knights, but be careful as you lose them if you die!

      Yeah that's pretty much exactly right, you will be doing enough damage to kill bosses really quickly. Dark Souls 3 has a feature that allows you to beat the final boss without resetting the world and then choose to go into NG+ whenever you want, but it's also very very obvious when you reach the final boss if you want to save them until last.

    • @bigbart_

      I believe you can sprint by holding down the space key while holding forward, once you begin sprinting you can let go of the key. Then, you can press space again while still sprinting and holding forward to make your character jump.
      If you cannot play with a controller, I suggest searching to see if anyone has perhaps made a mod or a guide on how to set up the kb/m button binds in a more convenient way

    Thanks, just maxed out my Sellsword Winblades, now I can continue playing the game and not worry about missing stuff. Im satisfied with my current estus and bone shard levels so I'll just keep an eye for those but at this point I dont need more really. Liked and subbed. Amazing guide. Btw, I have a question. I want to max a 2nd weapon later on. I am doing a pure dex build. What would u recommend? I've just killed champion gundyr if you're curious on my progression. Pure dex weapon, recommendation?

    • @bigbart_
      @bigbart_  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depends on what type of move set you want, my personal favourite is the Murakumo, but if you want a bigger sword I'd recommend the Astora Greatsword, it's just long ass greatsword with an S dex scaling when you put a sharp gem on it.

    As rule of thumb I dump ALL my souls till i get 20 vig, and THEN i start with dex and endurance. Twinblades so broken you probably wont need to upgrade and up dex untill farron

    for a beginner how much vigor and dex should i up with this build in the first 30 levels?

    • @bigbart_
      @bigbart_  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In the first 30 levels, I'd probably suggest getting to 20 vigor, 20 endurance and then dumping the rest of the levels in dex, which should take you to around 27 dex.
      If you find yourself dying too quickly, you could go for even more vigor, but it starts to get diminishing returns (less HP gained per level used) after you reach 26 vigor, so I wouldn't start to level up vigor higher than around 30 until you reach the dex softcap, which is 40 with the twinblades + sharp gem.

      for a first playthrough, by the end of the game i'd say you should aim to have least 40, maybe 45 vigor, as much endurance as you feel you need based on your playstyle (probably at least 30 though) and then the rest into dexterity.

    The reason why the Mercenary is the best build for NEW PALYERS is because of the Twinblades...I mean, I've played over a hundred playthroughs of DS3, and I doubt that having an OP weapon is enough to make a NEW player's life easy.
    OP this and OP that...why are people so obsessed with OP weapons...it's not the weapon that can get you through the game - it's your play style...LEARN TO PLAY THE GAME the way you play it, not how others tell you to play.

    • @bigbart_
      @bigbart_  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      The game will be easier for a new player if they're using a weapon that deals more damage - the faster they kill the boss, the less attacks they have to dodge.
      That's the entire purpose of this guide - show you how to get the most OP weapon, WITHOUT explaining how to dodge/when to attack, so you can figure out your playstyle for yourself.
