    6:00 The new jump animation is pretty good for mindgames. The opponent thinks your a scrub jumping mid combat and might go in for a hit but when you land without rolling, you can attack very quickly afterwards and catch em off guard.

    Regarding #9, in DS2 you could stop a jump by hitting R1 and turning it into a plunging attack, there's also at least 3 places where this is necessary to avoid most likely falling to your death. Firstly near the bridge leading to the undead asylum there's a tricky jump with an item on top of a pillar which is extremely hard to land otherwise, again on a ledge above some poison water on the way into Earthen Peak, and also in Dragon Aerie there is a point at which you can fall from one of the ziplines and using the plunging attack while falling ensures you don't roll right off the edge of a precarious rock to your death.

    I just want to get this off my chest. Dark Souls 3 is perhaps one of the greatest games I have ever played in my life. It is a work of art. There is games then there is this. Dark Souls 3 is beyond that. A true masterclass of game design in every aspect. Hidetaka Miyazaki is a one of a kind director. I praise him and all at From Software and Namco. A true gem. Stunning stunning game. By the way not even half way through. LOL

    Something I've noticed, and I've had at least one other person witness as well, is that it seems like you can "clank" weapons with some enemies.

    Abyss Watchers share blood of the wolf? Presumably Artorias? So they are
    bound by some rite that makes them most likely consume or infect them
    selves with his blood. This will change them and give them enhanced
    agility they are known for.
    First abyss watchers might have not
    know the fact that Artorias was infected by the Abyss. So every abyss
    watcher to follow would unwillingly share his taint. After time they
    would obviously learn about this and slay their infected brotheryn. For
    the new members curse of the Blood of the Wolf might be worth years or
    decades spent fighting against the abyss before succumbing to it. Or as
    it happens they may only learn about this after their vows and blood
    rite required to join the elite.
    The transformation and unison of
    abyss watchers actually helps them with their curse. As the lord of
    Cinder they are able to constantly separate abyss infected part of
    themselves and destroy it although it might be a valiant effort.
    Only in second stage of fight they stop this internal conflict to unite once again against the ashen one.

The encumbrance percentage has to be exact, it has to say 70.0 or 100.0 and can’t be 0.1 higher.

    Thank you for this video, there is also another trick, when you are facing a shielded enemy especially when the shield is facing you :
    1- Strike it with a weapon the hit is guarded and the enemy will quickly retaliate
    2- Use instead a kick (Up + hit), the guard is broken like a parry leaving you this monumental opportunity to use a critical attack (Tried on Irithyll shielded pontifs and dark / Silver knights)
    I personally call it a trick since it is not shown on the tutorial

      The more you level up, the more expensive those 5 levels are, buddy. Making deals with the devil.

    Wow, I'm glad I look checked this video. It confirms my theory on private playing. But most of these mechanics are new. Thank you for posting this VaatiVidya.

    can you still make armor look like other armor? pressing right stick does nothing for me

      +TheGingusa nah, what he showed in the video was that you can quickly check how certain armor pieces look on your person. It doesn't keep the stats of the initial item. It's just a quicker way of changing armor pieces for purely aesthetic purposes only.

    Dude, #2 "fashion souls" doesn't work at all! You even see your weight ratio change when you equip the different gloves.

      You misunderstood. He simply means that you can now see your character while changing gear instead of having to leave the menu every time you want to see what an armour piece looks like. There is no system that lets you change the look of your gear, like many MMORPGs have.

      this video is about hidden gameplay mechanics, how could you just assume it wouldnt spoil later areas or bosses?
