Maria and the living whatever were easy af. Thank god after Ludwig.

Yeah I beat Maria on the first try too.

She has a fanbase because she looks like a DMC 1 on 1 boss fight but they needed to make her tougher.

lobos beat 3x Marias at the same time on modded Bloodborne. Crazy fight.
That and 3x Friede took him several hours, but it was crazy to witness.

Lobos vs 3x Lady Maria after some 4 to 5 hours of trying and failing.

This is wack playing.

Just waiting for the parry. Dude even managed to make fighting three of them at once boring as fuck. Uses zero in the way of space control and tactics such as trades.

No idea where that Maria hype came from. Looks almost like a regular hunter NPC, but has a few glowing attacks down the line. Okay?  :whatsthedeal

Don't forget Maria was also the cover of the expansion (including the physical release):



Should've made it a harder fight so it's more memorable.

It just has all of the anime badass trappings in her design and attitude.

Defeated the Nameless King and Champion Gundyr, and just got to Archdragon Peak.  Nameless King wasn't too difficult what with his wide legged hitbox.  Champion Gundyr though... That thing was pretty damn aggressive.  He beat me twice, and on the third time, a summon appeared before the fog, so I said eff it and summoned someone called Gundyr Slayer...  Motherfucker hit Gundyr once or twice.. then he got hit once and got half his hp knocked off, so then he decided to run to a corner and let me fight him alone... Got Gundyr down to about 20% of his hp before he got me again.  What a total bitch.  Just did it myself after next round.  ::)

That's quite a feat, Svejk, because Nameless King is scored as one of the toughest if not *the* toughest boss fight in DS3 with no DLCs. Hardest than the final boss even.

Wait a muthafuckin' second.................. you just got to the Archdragon Peak? Like just arrived there?

Then that's not Nameless King you fought :lol :rofl
  :lol  I'm an idiot.  I meant Consumed King.  My B... Was just reading about the Nameless King and got mixed up.

First form is easy, almost got his second form the first night. Been busy the rest of the week. Will have to dedicate time to beat him. He's not bad, just his damage output is so obscene and moveset is absurd.

Made it to the Grand Archives.  Man this game just keeps on going! 

I have one minor gripe that annoys me (there's a several actually, but I've learned to look past them mostly).  The ambient noise with the breathing is in like 99% of the enclosed areas in DS3.  It's freaky and cool, but come on... I'm sure they could've done more variety in that department.  There's one other sound riff that plays ONLY in the sewer area of the Undead Settlement (from what I've found) where you can hear this subtle, but sinister like whispers from some lady.  it sound so creepy and awesome and wish they could've used it more often throughout...  Or just have alot more of such atmospheric sounds.  It's that important, imo.  With such variety in locales, they totally failed in the variety of sound.

Kos isn't "easy".
Dragon Rider is easy, he could 1 shot you, and he'd still be easy, because he has like 3 moves and they're all very slow and predictable.

Besides, damage output being what it is, it's a standard for most of their bosses, even Owl in Sekiro would be a simple boss (he has like 5 attacks) if it wasn't that every attack does 70% damage to health/posture.
But that makes it not "easy", just simple.

To be fair he is the hardest boss in the game and the ultimate final dlc end boss, so yeah it’s a challenge.

Honestly I struggled at first but got the hang of it and felt like a DMC3 vergil kinda fight and I really liked it by the time I beat it. Always felt like I was making progress.

At least the main game final boss will easy for you after your training on Kos. It’s actually a pretty tough fight pre-DLC.

Finally beat DS3! (Vanilla)  The twin princes and the Lord of Cinder were not as difficult as Nameless King, that's for sure... Not much of an ending either.  :doge

Overall though, this game was amazing.  I've been truly missing out on these games.  Tbph, I don't think I would ever go back and play DeS, DS1, or finish DS2.  If I were to continue, it would either be Bloodborne or Sekiro.  For the time being, I need a break from this. 
Never thought I'd beat a Souls game though.  :). Praise that muthafuckin sun, son!

Eh, if you don't mind slightly worse graphics, the old games have basically the exact same gameplay & level design and hold up 99%. Since it seems liked you really enjoyed DS3, I think you should play DS1 at some point and maybe DS2 (I like DS2 even if it's a little worse than 1/3).

But yeah, you can't go wrong with Bloodborne next either. Sekiro is kinda different experience.

Since I already have BB, it may be the next one I jump on.  I got to the 2nd primal bonfire in DS2(SotFS), but stopped there and never went back.  I may reconsider finishing that later too. 

As for the prior games, I tend be a fair weather graphics whore, so it may be difficult for me to go back and play DS1 or 2.

For what it's worth, most people dislike DS2 so I wouldn't use it as a judge of DS1. DS2 was made by a different team than DS1/3/Bloodborne/Sekiro.

You're welcome   :)

Pretty much how I felt after finishing DS3.  LOVE that character design!  I've been reading up on the differences in BB and getting mentally prepped for it this weekend.  Since these games are somewhat elusive with their stories and lore, I've been making my own kinda.. Since my character in DS3 looks similar to the one I made in BB, I'm saying she rested at the last flame in DS3, then awoke in the Victorian style era of BB..  I know, super nerdy.

Seriously though, I want to thank all of ya'll for making this thread.. It's what inspired me to take on a Souls game finally.  I look forward to playing some more!  BB is next!  :hyper

So I've finished and Soloed Bloodbourne. I thought it was fucking brilliant. I tried Dark Souls 1 but it was too slow. My son recommended I go after Dark Souls 3 as it's the best in the series. I've gotten a ways in and it's really hard to play after an admittedly superior BB.  There's a lot of foibles in Dark Souls, and at times it feels willfully obtuse, more than once my kid will be like "Oh yeah, did you do this x way?" I was more than once like "How the fuck was I supposed to know that?" Like I had a hard time with the abyss watchers and my kid was like "Oh your weight ratio is too high. Try this instead." Sure enough about 3 tries later it was done. There was nothing in the game to tell me above a certain point I'd start rolling slower.

Also as everyone says this game is hard but really if you're playing online I don't think anything's all that hard. Soloing stuff can be difficult. But still not as hard as BB. Actually soloing it so far shows me how easy this would be online. Still I will say so far the level design has been top notch. Way better so far than the last 2 shit levels of bloodbourne.

All this though makes me terrified of Sekiro. I don't think I have it in me to do that game. I don't think I have the reflexes/skill/patience necessary for it.

I'm going between Far Cry New Dawn and DS3 right now.  I've never really played the DS/BB with a "tank" build (slow/heavy armor) so I'm trying that out along with the Pyromancer base.  It's been fun but man it is frustrating at points.

I would really, really like to know Sekiro sales numbers. How does it compare to DS3 or BB? They shut down sooooooooooooo many doors and pathways a Souls player can enjoy the game in Sekiro that I am really curious did it have any impact on sales or not? Sekiro = DEX build only. Not saying it is bad but to be the only way to play the game was... rather disappointing.

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ E L D E N   R I N G
yeah I played the first few hours of Sekiro and I felt like there was just one way to beat the bosses and you'd have to die over and over until you got that. In Dark Souls 3 and lesser amount BB you could approach bosses many different ways.

Since I finished Arkham Knight for my Halloweenish time game, I decided to give BB another try, seeing as it's still that time of year.  (I needed a break after DS3)  And ok, yeah...  I think I'm starting to get why this ranks so high up on the soulsborne list.  I'd be the first to admit, I really don't care much at all for Victorian era/Steampunk-ish themes; those being the main reasons I had it off my radar. (Castlevania being the exception) But starting to get into a unique souls groove with the fighting mechanics and I think I'm really starting to like it.  Granted, I'm still at the very beginning and proceeding with a bit of caution till I feel a bit more comfortable.  Need to adjust my shield button muscle memory. lol

Got past the Cleric Beast in BB.  Geez that camera is so fucked on that part.  Could've been easier if it weren't for it.  I hope there aren't too many ultra narrow paths to fight large bosses in.   :doge

On the other hand, the level design so far is a bit brilliant.  So many branching paths and shortcuts.  Pretty awesome.

Seems I cleared up most of the first (?) area.  Defeated Father Gascoigne relatively easily. (2nd try)  Really enjoying the shit out of this game right now.  Kinda ready for a change of scenery though... Everything looks the same... The whole game doesn't take place in this Yarnham town, does it?
