    No, you don't, whoever changed the wiki to say that that you need to be in NG+++ to get the +3 version of the Life Ring was wrong.

    I never hit that sweet spot. I used the blue sentinels /darkmoon for about 50 hours and got summoned about 13 times. So I am not confident in the games ability to reliably summon me.

    Yeah having TWO bluecop covenants was kind of a big waste, and I think having just one would have made things better for everyone trying to get summoned.

    Same with Aldritch and Farron.

    Wait really? I thought the pattern was:

    Base - NG
    +1 - NG+
    +2 - NG++
    +3 - NG+++

    That's not the case? So two versions of the ring appear in one run?

    EDIT: Oh I see, no other ring has a +3 entry. Okay then.

    Life Ring +2 and +3 are both on NG+2, yes its confusing and out of alignment with the other rings

    Getting back into DS3 for the first time in a while.

    It always takes me some time to get used to every enemy being designed to lock onto me like they're standing on a fucking turntable.

    Hey would anybody like to do me a solid on PC

    I have this Yhorm's Great Machete that I'd like to use to play through the game from the start-ish

    Would anybody be willing to take it off of my endgame character and then give it to a character at the beginning of the game?

    Sometimes you get invaded when you're trying to do stuff, and you just gotta make the best of it.

    I'm looking forward to hitting Crocobeast with my big ol' giant machete

    Heavy weapons are great for staggering dudes and I anticipate setting land speed records for crocobeast murder

    Next time around:
    You can actually run to the other side of the bridge and the invisible wall won't let him pass. As you progress through the level he'll jump down into the lake below, where there's a small island to fight him on that gives you a little more space than that narrow bridge.

    Crocdogs are super weak to bleed, and stagger prone if you can hit them on the snout. They're probably harder than a few bosses in the game imo

    Note that I made sure I wasn't the person nearest to the croc once it got moving.

    I'm aware. This is like my 5th or 6th playthrough. I'm just kinda rusty after having not picked the game up for a good while.

    I think I'd have to give tops to Bloodborne bosses, but I wasn't disappointed with any dark souls bosses from 1 or 3 so far. Maybe I'm just easy to please that way

    ALso SMooth McGroove did a really great cover of their fight music.

    I'm surprised the Abyss Watchers are so well-received. It's not a bad boss fight, but it didn't feel special to me. It was basically "fight dude in armor with sword, then evade when there is second dude in armor with sword until third dude in armor with sword takes aggro." And entire second half was "fight dude in armor with sword that's on fire."

    Maybe I haven't done it right? Maybe I should try it solo (no NPC summons) with a sword and board or something?

    My favorite of DS3 is probably Aldrich. Nameless King was also really good, though he's disappointingly defanged by the simple ranged strategy.

    I one shot the watchers in NG and NG+, longsword and twin straight swords. Poor man's Bloodborne dlc fight, which is still admittedly excellent. Really loved the Belated Champion, ruined me for ages.

    They're definitely top for me in DS3

    Well, them and the Last Boss, who is probably my actual favorite fight

    But it's hard to top those guys for the feel of the fight, and how well the soundtrack syncs up with the cutscene at the halfway point of the fight

    i don't think the abyss watchers are a particularly hard fight, but the 1v2v1 scenario is fun, just this mad brawl

    i think that the second form is a stark downgrade

    From has announced an announcement on 8/24, and someone from Bandai-Namco has confirmed it's not more tshirts but did not rule out hoodies. That same person also posted DS3 patch notes for a rather fun date: 8/25.

    Looks like it's coming in late October. Gives me a chance to go back and try to finish me SL1 run at least; I got stuck on fucking Dragonslayer Armor of all things and haven't touched the game in a while.
