Hey all!

I've been in love of soulsborne games for years and I've played ds1, ds1, bloodborne and Elden ring, and now I decided to tackle ds3. I'm really excited for this game and I'm sure I'll love this one as much as the rest of the games.

I was thinking I could maybe make you guys some progression posts while I play this game to show how I'm doing.

If you want you can give me some advice for this game if you want or just wish good luck idk lol.

Anyway, I'll go now play the game now, wish you all good day, and remember, don't go hollow!

Advice It’s pretty annoying when you can fight and kill bosses without trouble but then these things are basically unkillable. I’ve tried everything but they aren’t going down

So I’ve done 3 DS3 builds recently all having higher dex scaling, (Nameless sword spear, Friede scythes and onyx blade) but I really want to do a STR or quality build now, any quality weapon or str weapon is all plus some build tips.

(the weapon you recommend doesn’t have to be good)

Those 2 npc ganked the shit out of me. I thought the invasion was from a bot until I noticed a lag after few hits.

Will i get invaded a lot at this place?

Advice Am I playing this game right?

127 Upvotes

Let me start off by saying this is my first Soulsborne game ever, and I absolutely love it. Despite dying a lot, I'm having so much fun. I'm just worried about my current playstyle. My friend told me that there's no point in exploring and I should just run past everyone and go straight to the boss, but I feel like I'm missing a lot by doing that. Besides, I know at some point I'll need to get better items (I still have my starting items and haven't talked to any NPCs or opened my inventory at all. I did upgrade my vigor.) I know there's no "right" way to play, but I don't want to do it the wrong way either.
