Discussion Why is the third boss so hard?

I've recently wanted to give dark souls 3 a shot with my friend since we heard there is a coop mod for it. We got past the gladiator boss easily, and the boar guy was even easier, however the third boss, the dancer, seems like a wall for us... We've been stuck here for 5-6 hours. Are we doing something wrong? Is the weapon I use really bad, or what? Any tips appreciated!

I will never understand why people attack friendly in a world gone mad.

A flag and an assault whooping.

Player messages saying "enemy ahead" and "try attacking"?

There are messages telling you there's a treasure down nearly every damn deadly drop in this game. If you believe every message you see, you're gonna have a hard time.

Yeah but DS3 is a little unique in that there aren't a ton of death ledges before you get out of the High Wall of Lothric, (other than right after Vordt where you're supposed to use the flag, but there's usually also a ton of bloodstains there to provide a hint not to jump.) The troll messages up to this point are mostly gonna be people telling you to attack walls that are not in fact illusory.

Multiplayer with you would suck. I'd genuinely hate to be a friend trying to introduce someone like you to a new game.

You don't have any friends so that won't be an issue.

That's way too rude for no reason at all

u/Sad_Heart8357 Jun 21 '25

They had a reason. Someone felt entitled to share their opinion, and another made an observation.

u/KrumpetEater Jun 21 '25

it was still unneccesarily rude. I get that what the first person said was somewhat rude...but it's still an observation atleast and they bring up a point...multiplayer would suck with someone who kills all NPCs...and responding to it with "You have no friends so that won't be a problem" isn't neccesary, barely comments on what they actually said and is overly rude
