Way too many bonfires?

[IRIS]

Hi guys. I consider myself to be veteran of DS series, and the first thing that I noticed in DS3 is that there is waaaay too many bonfires. Undead settlement and High wall of Lothric are ok. But everything after it is really easy. It's like there is bonfire after every couple of enemies.

Your thoughts?

Bonfires seem reasonably placed.

[mighty]

some of them are just useless. 30 meters away from each other.

[Shin]

Some are stupidly placed but thats because bosses drop bonfires now.

I am in Road of Sacrifices right now, and right after that mage boss. The one that create it's copies, you get bonfire from him. 3 opponents later there is another one. 10 opponents later, there is another one. O.o

+1 - way too many in some areas. The second Undead Settlement bonfire still makes me say "what the actual ♥♥♥♥ is this doing so close?"

There are a lot of bonfires, but some are reasonably well hidden, i sure as hell didn't find all of them on first run.

There's a bonfire where you can see another bonfire from said bonfire, its funny.

Some are weirdly placed.

After the 2nd boss (including the tutorial boss) you get a bonfire. Fine, you can get out and come back later when you don't know what awatis you. Then you get transported to another place and have another bonfire. Fine, it's start of a whole new location. Then you go down the stairs and just past the gate there is another bonfire. At this point it didn't make too much sense to me.

Just wait till you reach the cathedral , valley and beyond you will beg the gods for a bonfire.

I hope so. I still remember No Man's Dwarf in DS2. That place was hell coz it only had 1 bonfire :D

yeah and all of those enemies are super easy.. you can easily split the 2 butchers up to solo the evangelist and the dogs are just a joke.. Maybe some people have trouble on assassin enemy and the guy on top the stairs but still. If you had to kill the 2 butchers 1 evangelist again that's still not hard. At that point you have at least 8 flask. I guess they try to match your estus to the amount of enemies between fires.. 1 estus per enemy you face, it's sad

yeah, that really saddened me. I hope for some ultimate edition upgrade in a year or something with all dlc and better enemy and bonfire placement.

So now were bitc=-hing about bon fires............go to your safe place were nothing in this world can hurt you then...lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SnusHead]

use broken straight sword.

difficulty will increase.

I think some of them are nicely placed, but some are kind of... really silly. Mostly the boss bonfires. The one that comes to mind most for me are the Dragonslayer Armor and Grand Archives bonfires, which have no enemies between them, and you can actually stand between them and see both by turning around.

I mean dude c'mon.
