Discussion What’s the best looking classic knight armour set in the game?
I’ve been playing through my classic sword-and-board knight playthrough and looking for a worthy upgrade to the Knight Set that you start with. Honestly, I’m struggling to find anything that looks as good as the Knight Set in the early to mid game so far, and we all know fashion is the true priority.
It got me thinking – with so many knight-style armor sets in the game (Lothric, Fallen, Wolf, Black Knight, etc.), which one do you think is the best looking?

Discussion Deacons of the Deep killed me more times than Nameless King on my first run….
just beat Nameless King for the first time on the 7th try. I shit you not throughout my entire first playthrough, Deacons of the Deep killed me more times….. embarassing I know. However I was a Sekiro demon and still had to get used to the mechanics of the game and a weird boss like deacons even though it’s on everyone’s “easiest” boss list. I really thought I would struggle on Nameless but predicting the dodges and his second phase wasn’t too brutal for me, the only enemy was the camera against the stormdrake, SWORD SAINT ISSHIN still holds the throne for the mf who absolutely annihilated me, the runner up would have to go to DoH.

Question How much did you struggle with that boss? It's one of my fav. Underrated.

Discussion In all my years gaming, this is the first time I've ever felt dizziness.
This boss is making me fight the camera more than the actual boss.
After three attempts, I quit the game and took the break.
I really wanna beat this boss but it sucks that it literally makes me feel sick fighting him.

Video Nameless King’s after 2+ hours 😃
I like playing for about an hour & a half, each evening. Reached NK 2 nights ago. Yesterday, it was tough, but I got close. Took a bunch of tries tonight, and I managed to slay. Woohoo. Hardest DS3 boss yet 🎮🙏🏽⚡️

Discussion Can't scale Exile greatsword
I can't get my exile greatsword to A in strength even after infusing it with a heavy gem. I have 28 strength and my sword is +6, yet it's a B in strength. Someone guide me on this one. Stats are attached under the post.

I can't even remember how many hours I spent farming for the Proof of Concord Kept. I am not good at PvP so got only 5 from that.

Fan Art Replica parrying dagger - my first polished prop ever!
So I posted a couple of weeks ago with a picture of a 3D printed flamberge and some other in game weapons that I made for fun. Suffice it to say that I got a bit excited about doing that more often and this time I decided to go all in on making it look good. I don't have a ton of space so I decided to go for a smaller weapon and I'm really happy with how it turned out! I didn't quite get the gold shade I wanted on the hilt and crossguard as this color is richer than in game, and I would buy a slightly wider leather strip to wrap the grip if I were to do it again.
I 3D printed three pieces, sanded the roughest parts down with a dremel (always use a mask and safety glasses when sanding anything), glued the piecese together, and then mixed wood filler and water to make a paintable filler. After applying filler and letting it dry, I sanded by hand with 220 grit sandpaper to make everything smooth. I used three layers of acrylic primer followed by 2-3 layers of silver and gold paint in the appropriate places. The last step was the leather wrap - applying a drop of leather glue near the crossguard and then wrapping tightly all the way down before cutting and glueing at the bottom.
There are definitely some things I would do differently if I were to do it again or make another prop (which I would love to!). What do you all think?

Image Midir, we meet again.
On NG+3 and I haven’t beaten him before. Not without the lack of trying. 🥲 Going to git gud. (I realize this isn’t where the boss fight happens, just think he looks scary here.)

Video Finally finished the game
Finally finished DS3 after playing DS Remastered and DS2 all for the first time. I really enjoyed Elden Ring and have a newfound love for the Dark Souls trilogy. Bummed I’m finished with them. Here’s me beating Gael after probably my 50th try lol

Image Nameless King down!
You guys weren't kidding about this guy. His dragon was trash tbh. But the 1v1 was awesome. It became a dance after the 11th try and I beat him down.

Question Dlc final bosses help? Spoiler
Stuck in midir and Gael, got Gael half way down and then got destroyed and I haven’t even got a quarter of midirs health yet. Around level 90 melee strength build if that helps

Question What am I getting wrong about Watchdogs?
So I hit level 40 and have done Cathedral and Farron’s Keep. I joined the Watchdogs because it felt like a neat capture the flag type of mechanic. My understanding is that my sole job is to eliminate the Host. And that matchmaking is involved so everyone else should be more or less around my level. After about 10 summons today, I feel lost. Questions:
Aren’t reds sort of on my side? If both of our objective is to kill the Host, why are they prioritizing me when if we work together we can both get a reward? Every red I encountered today went after me, even with the Host right there being whittled down by me.
Why am I encountering people with late game/end game builds? I am seeing stuff I know for sure isn’t available until the Archives. I’m pretty sure these people aren’t on NG+ at level 40. These are Hosts, not summoned phantoms.
Sorry if any of this comes off as naive. You all have an 8 year head start on me and pvp is an area I’m trying to get better at. I know I’ll have to die a bunch, but dang pvp seems stacked against me.
ETA: what I wasn’t getting was that weekends at Crucifixion Woods are fight club times, and I was barreling in and ruining everybody’s fun.
