Catacombs Of Carthus is just cheap

[McKeckles]

This area is just so ridiculous, the curved greatsword wielders always have 2-3 of them in one agrorange, and along with their insane health, damage and movespeed, their are the ♥♥♥♥ing skeletons throwing dark magic urns which then home in on you. I have played all of the dark souls and this is by far the hardest area for me in all the games it is just insane.

Use a ranged weapon to pull one at a time? It works. Not every situation is meant to be ran into guns blazing.

Carthus isn't that bad, DS3 is the only souls game that doesn't have an area that I despise. Just git gud kill them quickly and learn when to dodge.

I agree with above. A crossbow was the best thing I brought to the Catacombs - drawing the Carthus Knights one by one was the best way.

Not to mention, on my very first run I was invaded and ended up falling down a significant shortcut which means you can skip a bunch of enemies!

GIT GUD

The only hard red eye skeletons in my opinion are the ninja ones.. Im sure youll know them when you meet them - and even then its because the dont sit still at all so lock is pretty much useless.

Everything else is just a matter of luring one out and killing it - use a bow, or throwing knives or whatever, heck just approach and barely enter the aggro range, I cant think of a case that youll pull more than one unless you are being careless.

Use your head, OP. There are plenty of ways to deal with these guys.

Try pulling one at a time with the bow.. also..

LOL using the environment is the most hilarious way to kill other players. I updated my post to include boulders. don't forget about the boulders!

My shinging moment is killing 3 phantoms and a host on the bridge in that area.

LOL!!!! I haven't done much pvp in 3 yet short of red sign summoning for a few duels, but I'll have to try that. I've done a lot of sunbroing though, and I see hosts kill their sunbros with that bridge.... and vise versa.

Agreed and it gets worse after that, everything gets way to gimmicky past half way through the game. I just want a place that provides some sort of combat without bs tricks. Just gets boring when you deal with the same thing over and over and over.

Also, about that bridge. I've noticed that when a co-op phantom is summoned near the boss door, the hordes of skeletons aggro on them even from across the bridge when the phantom steps near the broken bridge. In which they all lemming dive off the cliff. free souls free lulz.

only seems to work with phantoms though. I've tried it just by myself and they won't do it.
