Lothric Knights are the worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemies in this entire series

[Yasha]

I am so tired of dying to these HP sponges with 2HKO combos. So. Tired.

[Yasha]

Thankfully my friend wants to co-op with me and drop me some stuff...lol he's gonna give me the twin UGS's from the dlc that I can't even use for like 40sl's but at least he'll give me the Berserk-style sword too

Maybe I'll like this game more once I can actually use a sword I like instead of this crappy claymore that does no damage >.>

[Gravysamich]

honestly, it is a matter of "gitting gud."

i will be a bit more helpful than just parroting that though.

you need to focus on learning their attack patterns. focus on dodging before anything else. once you know their patterns and understand their timing, then you can turn around and start dealing damage. also, you really need to focus on stamina management. the quickest way to die is to run out of stamina and not be able to dodge away.

really these guys are pretty easy to deal with. it just takes some practice.

I want to make a distinction here about playing styles, it is not correct to say to learn about rolling in DS3 only

There are 3 distinct styles in DS3

1. Light builds with lots of dodging. These builds are often caster builds.
2. Shield builds (need to never roll ever; it is dfferent playstyle)
3. Giant two-handed dads (no rolling needed, minimum rolling; they break guards and stagger bosses; they trade damage with bosses)

How the ♥♥♥♥ do you beat that one with the halberd omfg you can't parry him he blocks everything and he has ludicrously powerful sweeping combos that catch you even if you rollspam like mad

Like they're all bad but that dude is about to make me lose my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mind

I mentioned in your other post, but an easy way to deal with em is with a sword. Get any straightsword and stance r1 while the cowards are holding up their greatshields. Instant guardbreak. Stack a fire pine bundle before you riposte them and you'll deal that massive dmg easily. Heavy atk em while they're getting back up and the knight should be dead.

Tell him to drop you a flamberge. Has low stats req and drops from an early enemy in the area just after highwall, but its a very rare drop. Deals really good damage if you infuse with heavy too.

If all of this advise and weapons people are giving you don't work and are still unhappy with the game then maybe this games wasn't made for you.

[Yasha]

The fact that it takes so long to get a UGS is probably why I dislike this game, they are the only kinds of weapons I like using in Souls if I'm going pure melee. Why do you have to wait so long to get them if you don't have a phantom drop them for you?

[nobalkain]

BTW what is a UGS anyways?

I'm giving the game one more chance after my friends drops a UGS for me...I do not like to use any other weapon class besides those and maybe halberds. I hate doing no damage with each swing, I wanna absolutely crush enemies in as few swings as possible even if they're slow.

Stands for ultra greatsword. They are slow but powerful weapons

[nobalkain]

Thats what my mind was telling me, but I thought that asking for a weapon like that at the start was a bit crazy so I had to make sure :P

[psheue]

You already have a pointless rant thread about the High Wall, why do you need another one?

[Yasha]

"just kick them lmao"

ncie job guys I died because the kicks didn't do anything but stagger him for like half a second and then he just killed me anyway

are you guys actually giving advice or are you trying to troll me? Because I'm about ragequit AGAIN.

[Yasha]

Thank god my friend is dropping me souls and some greatswords (the dlc dual ones and the beserk sword) because ♥♥♥♥ using this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ broadsword

[Yasha]

this is the third time I have alt-F4'ed ragequit in merely one day.

this game is insufferable without high-damage weapons
