      With any metroidvania and soulsborne, and any games really with a focus on exploration, I have always subscribed to the "stick your face into every room/hallway" just in case. Maybe you'll spot a much needed bonfire, or an unguarded treasure. And it serves to remind me better to come back and explore it later if I don't immediately.

    Really glad that DS3 has finally started!
    Here are certain things that you might want to consider for the playthrough (no spoilers)
    1) After killing each boss read through the lore of every item associated with them (you will know how you get them soon enough, I hope)
    2) Having the lore of previous games in mind (especially that of Dark Souls 1's ) makes the experience especially rewarding.
    3) This game has many secret areas. You might want to keep an eye out for certain gestures this time around.
    4) You don't need to summon any NPC whatsoever to progress any questline unlike Dark Souls 2
    5) Once you reach the end, remember that rolling the credits doesn't take you directly to NG+ just like in DS 2.
    So you have the choice to decide whether to do the DLC later or not (I would personally suggest doing it after rolling credits)

    2. You Missed a staircase right next to the first dead dragon by the 1st bonfire.
    3. Its worth grabbing the last 2 items in front of the fire breathing dragon.

This is my favorite souls game without a doubt, I have easily more than 3000 hours in this game lol, in the beggining of the game is best to put all of your points in health, that's the easiest start, and use deep or simple weapons that you find which don't scale with anything, they just have high base damage at the beggining of the game, then you can decide which build you wanna go with, dark builds are the most fun because you can use almost everything, magic, miracles, dark magic, strength weapons, dexterity weapons etc, dark is basically levelling up both magic and faith at the same time, but you'll have to use gems to change the weapon properties so they can scale with those stats, dark builds are way more advanced tho, the easiest and most simple builds are always gonna be strenght or dexterity

    A couple small things you missed that you might wanna check out: theres actually actually a small path to the left (you only went right) of Firelink shrine as well with something a little interesting, though you're quite strong by now; also, you missed a small staircase going up, left of the one you go down after the high wall of lothric bonfire by the dead dragon, it leads to the binoculars, thought you might wanna use them at the place where you raised the banner for a nice view :).

    Hey mate, soooo glad you made your way onto Dark Souls 3, he is my favorite of all the three, and it tells a lot 'cause god knows I love DS1 and 2
    Here is my little advice for the beginning your playthrough:
    There is a mechanic you never used in the games (and often annoyed you when it happened), it's the kick.
    Your character use a kick when you make your character go forward and press the attack button in the same time
    This kick is used to break an enemy's guard and in order to make critical attack if the guard is broken
    It becomes really handy in Dark Souls 3, you already encountered Lothric's Knights for example, this boyos often hide behind their shields and the kick makes them very vulnerable
    Thanks for reading me and I wish you a nice journey through this marvelous game, and I will enjoy watching you doing so !

  • @jamescannon229
    @jamescannon229 Рік тому +18

    Just a heads up, vitality is a new stat that determines you equip load.
    Also:
    If you want to do a melee/magic hybrid build, its normally best to pick two of the offensive stats to focus on. Examples being a Strength/Intelligence build, or Dexterity/Intelligence build. This helps you not waste any stat points. Normally for hybrid builds you want your weapon in the right hand and a catalyst (staff) in the left hand.
    Later on you will be able to add infusions to your weapons to make them scale better with different stats. Just make sure to pay attention to the stat screens of weapons and look at the letters to see how they scale with different stats.

    • @yeahr1ghty
      @yeahr1ghty Рік тому

      Nah this isn't really correct. On an honest NG playthrough you are meant to pick one damage stat, if he wants magic he should do pure Int or Faith build and his melee options will still be fine. Maxing out 2 damage stats is inefficient and unnecessary. He can simply infuse any regular melee weapon with Int/Faith scaling, before he unlocks that base damage is more than fine. Splitting focus with str/dex past whats needed for requirements will simply make his spellcasting much weaker without any added damage benefit to his melee damage.
      Until you get to an extremely high level (130+), hybrid builds are a noob trap. My guess is he's going to do some type of hybrid build like you said, then complain why it feels weak, because he doesn't understand leveling/scaling fully.

    • @jamescannon229
      @jamescannon229 Рік тому

      @@yeahr1ghty honestly it doesn’t matter on the first playthrough, they made the game easier and more accessible so even if you waste stats you still excel. This is why you can dodge 7 times from the start in a row, this only increases as you level up your stamina pool so you basically outscale enemies unless you intentionally throw away souls. In a regular casual playthough, you get more than enough souls and levels to just romp through the game. This is also why it is the most popular souls game because of the ease you can feel “badass” by dodging that hit or taking down that big enemy. Ds1 and DS2 are still kings in comparison to ds3 in many many aspects from lore to builds to pvp

    Super excited for this. Be careful about spreading yourself too thin in your stats. I know you want to try a bit of everything, but the game is just not built that way. At most, pick one or two main offense stats and focus on levelling those up to 40ish by endgame. If you want to try different builds, that's what NG+ and additional playthroughs are for! Good luck Ashen One!

    @adambaumgarden7501 Рік тому +1

    Let's go! Here are some tips.
    1. Builds - For builds there are like 5 main ones. Strength, Dexterity, quality (take Strength and dex to 40), intelligence (spells), faith (healing, buffs, and other spells). Quality will give you the most versatility to try different weapons.
    2. Scaling - Weapon scaling is more important than bass damage. If you want a strength build then choose a weapon with an A, B, or S scaling in strength. Same goes with Dex, Int, and faith. If you find a weapon that you really like but doesn't scale in your build type then Andre might be able to make it scale with Gems but you have to find them out in the world.
    3. Firelink roof - keep trying. There is a way to get on the roof of firelink shrine at the beginning of the game.
    4. Parrying - the parry happens when the shield swings up and away not when winding it up. Small round shields are the best at parrying.
    5. Always check around firelink shrine when you return there. NPCs will come and go often.
    6. Kicking - kicking is ment to break guards. When an enemy has their shield up you can kick it and break their guards.
    7. Weapon arts - alot of weapons have unique weapon arts. When trying new weapons out make sure you try the light, heavy, and weapon art out. Weapon arts use the blue estus too.
    If you have any questions just ask brother.

    Hey Mati, since you wanna explore magic a little bit, go for an int/ faith build,they are pretty good, can cast miracles and sorceries, mainly focusing in pyromancy and/or dark sorceries/miracles ( not necessarily only dark, there are catalysts that scale with both INT and FTH). You can infuse weapons that way they can scale with INT and FTH, so you have both options to deal damage. It's an above average build and pretty fun with all the options you have. You might wanna research about it. I highly recommend it.
