One free tip: in DS1, armour actually works. The trade-off is that it can trivialise some bosses, as it can make face-tanking an option.

As someone who has beaten the game once or twice I would recommend not using the lock on system, unless you use magic or a bow. Also resins and upgrading your weapon will help you out a lot. Good luck my man don't you dare go hollow!

@x_mau9355

I use the lock-on as the fight is more natural AND you avoid to be backstabbed randomly because you just turned your backs to the enemy... what can't happen in lock-on mode.

@AccainGaming

Ай бұрын

​@@x_mau9355I respectfully disagree. The lock on causes you to focus on one enemy which will lead you to getting hit or backstabbed by other enemies. Now if you are talking about PvP that's a whole different story, but I just do PvE. I do hard challenge runs and lock on will screw you over more than you think. Lock on is even worse for duo fights Especially O&S because you can be locked on to one of them and the other one is just lurking behind you and you will never know if they are about to hit you or not because you can not see them. Now if you do not have the lock on, on you can position the camera to see both enemies at all times. DS1 has the worst lock on system in the series and this coming from someone who really likes DS1. When locked on you can not run which is a very useful tool during normal fights and boss fights. When locked on you will always roll when pressing the roll/run button. It does not matter if you hold the button to run, you will roll when you would want to run. I never played DS2 but they fixed this in DS3 for sure. I have tried multiple times to use the lock on in my runs and it has caused me to die more times than not, but at the end of the day if you enjoy using it that's perfectly fine. I have nothing against it, this is just my personal experience with the mechanic with 400 hours and 10 challenge runs.

@AccainGaming

​@@x_mau9355 Also I should note I do increase the camera speed to help with not locking on. The default speed works fine, but when you get to some of the faster bosses it helps to have the camera speed up to 8 or 9

@@AccainGaming Don't know what you mean here. The lock-on is useful because the guy redirects the attacks towards the locked target. And yes for sure the danger is to be backstabbed by OTHER enemies nearby but I'm not that stupid to ignore them. Generally speaking you should avoid 1vsMANY in DS or you get destroyed even by the lamest enemy.. so I am just saying that locking on a target is useful. Probably you have also seen those "thank you DS" video when the player suddenly turns the backs to the enemy in front of him and gets punished by a backstab. THAT is avoidable with the locking on. AND playing cautious avoids the 1vsMANY situation. I can also better control the aggro walls, running around without lock-on exposes you to aggro other enemies nearby. Finally with lock-on you can parry slightly better, as the distance is shorter. On the other hand without lock on the backstabbing is somehow easier as your player is faster and runs around the enemy. So as experienced player I use both. I just find the lock-on useful... and I use it a lot. I switch also a lot. 😎

@AccainGaming

Ай бұрын

@@x_mau9355 I disagree again, if your getting aggro it's bc your not paying attention. Being locked on doesn't fix that. Yes should you fight 1v1 but this isn't the case for two boss fights in the game. Also it is easier to get around enemies in DS1 when you're not locked on to them. Also you don't have to worry about the Camera screwing you over. The lock on also will randomly switch targets from time to time without you choosing to. Also it's bad at targeting enemies you want from, this doesn't happen often but does occur. I have beaten the game with and without lock on and without is 100% easier. You say you don't understand bc you have always used lock on. Also when you're not locked on it's on you to be aware and use camera positioning to know your soundings. Again when being locked on with multiple engines can screw you up or screw over. I am not saying it happens all the time but as someone who has beaten the game with just the skull lantern, it would have been hell bc of the bad hit boxes of some bosses and the lantern itself, but not every boss just most. Like I stated I think it's fine if you use it but to say it's objectively good I have to disagree from a mechanical view. In general fromsofts lock on systems have never been that great. They are just starting to get decent but still have a ways to go in comparison to other games. If you want to understand what I mean fight bell gargoyles or O&S without lock on and you will see it's easier to be aware of both bosses. I would recommend even testing both to understand. I understand where you're coming from but I can't agree with using it but not going to say you can't. I will say play the game the way you want to play it. You paid for it so do what you find fun. Also I wasn't calling you stupid I was referring to in general you can get hit easily by other enemies while being locked on bc you can't see them.

For the gargoyles, i found it best to be guarding with a shield at all times and to prioritize your spacing. Don't be locked on all the time, and try not to roll forward as much. The fire breath from the second one can be avoided by simply moving to the side, but keep an eye on the other gargoyle when trying to punish the breath attack. The key to this fight is patience.

The only info youll be needed, everything else is spoilers: 1. Boss weapons from boss souls are kinda tricky here. You need a lvl +10 specific item and ascend it by using boss souls at blacksmith in Anor-Londo. For instance Quelaag soul is for katana and curved sword. 2. The heavier your armor - easier the game. Bigger weapons - same. Bigger shields - same. Magic - same. DEX weapons pool have -1 size compared to STR. Choose your destiny. Since poise and defense are god in this game you pretty much may touch yourself with it, make rolls obsolete, if you want. Also footwork is strong in this one, try it )
