      Well, isn't that the whole point of armor? You can literally beat the game wearing a loincloth. Getting hit by the boss still takes a large chunk of your health away and you receive like three hits from the boss and you are done. Armor makes no difference, just use a shield and don't get hit.

      I've made peace with permanently losing souls or blood echoes. I started The Old Hunters DLC in Bloodborne while underleveled (like 68 or something) and I did okay until the first red-eyed hunter with the boom-hammer. I finally admitted defeat and went back to the Martyr Logarius fight I'd been avoiding. I left nearly 26,000 blood echoes behind because I wasn't about to go for yet another attempt. It's rather freeing when you permanently lose them. I do try not to keep too many on me depending on the area I'm in.

      @@robertolaragonzalez2072
      Sooo true! I noticed that detail as well! I am on my first playthrough of dark souls 3 at the moment, and just defeated the stray demon in the Farron Keep swamp area. Every attempt I made sure that I would get him to come towards the middle of the bridge so that my soul patch didn’t get stuck next to him at the far end of it lol.
      He messed me up really bad soooo fast quite a few times in the first 4 attempts (what a brutal few deaths indeed as well with him crushing the bajeezus out of me and yeeting me to another dimension over the bridge!), and even though I have always soloed every boss in these games and never do co-op (I never summon NPCs to help me either), I was about to give in and summon an NPC to help kill him - I was thinking that either he was too strong for my level or the developers intended for an NPC to tank the demon, like Onion-bro did with the fire demon.
      Turns out that my final attempt worked with simply getting naked and doing a crapload of roly polys around his lard arse lol. He didn’t end up having as much HP as I thought he would, because my great hammer smashed his arse in real gud! It was a great feeling to defeat him solo. :)
      I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it if I hadn’t played DS1 though, knowing his basic moveset and the tactic to stay behind him.
      The only bad side of the boss is that transposing his soul into Havel‘s ring initially got me so excited since I am playing big strength build wearing a lot of heavy armor, but finding out that HaveI’s ring is SO much weaker than it was in DS1! It only took 4% off my equip load. 😩😩😩
      I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to level my equip load stat anymore when I first saw I was getting that ring. What a bummer!

      @pajama5364 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@anti-ethniccleansing465 If you have the ringed city dlc you can get 2 rings that increase equip load also there is a boss that you can transpose his soul into a ring that gives more vig end and vit so keep your eyes peeled for that! And as a final tip don't put to many points into vit as its largely a useless stat due to those rings I mentioned! So don't put many points into it unless you have some armour that looks really cool. You can respec in this game (unlike the first game) so if you are worried that you messed your build up its OK.

This game will either make you subconsciously learn its rules or you will end up rage quitting.

      if youre somehow still stuck on the first boss, id recommend playing as a knight for your first play-through, because casters require you to know more about the stats and where important gear/npcs are that you most likely wont know the first time through, specifically id recommend a pure strength or quality build strength if you want to feel powerful 1-shotting everything, and quality if you just want to test out most of the weapons you come across, secondly you need to realize dark souls is about taking it slow and not worrying too much about mistakes, 90% of deaths ive seen clips from are always people rushing into grab an item off the ground and getting ambushed or overwhelmed by too many enemies, take your time to spot enemies before you get within aggro distance, look for traps that you can use against the enemies, aggro one at a time if possible, and lastly, dont go hollow, that is to say dont quit the game dark souls is about perseverance, dont quit the game after losing once or twice try again until you succeed, it may take a while but you will eventually defeat that boss or tough enemy you only truly lose when you give up
