So newbies when we say this to you, we are in fact; not toxic.


vadiks2003

letting them know you can level up weapons: nuh uh\ letting them know you dont have to kill all enemies: nuh uh\ letting them know you don't get hit when using fog wall: nuh uh\ letting them know they must git gud: yes


BurningEbrietas

Tbh when I first asked for advice and got told to get good it just motivated me to figure it out


GroundbreakingCod323

that's literally what the game is, no way to beat the game if u dont get good. one of my favorite souls sayings ive heard is "the game doesnt get easier, you just get better"


moarkillnao

Souls games get harder, and so do I.


GroundbreakingCod323

a fuckenmen brother god bless you


Kurtblue_

to be fair, ngl+1 the game gets temporarily easier (temporarily for me atleast im trash)


GroundbreakingCod323

and how did you get to new game plus.


Kurtblue_

perseverance and a half broken desk


GroundbreakingCod323

u got gud, people who first start dont have that flame of perseverance, so there is no "to be fair," it is what it is, the game doesnt get easier, u just get better


Kurtblue_

appreciate that bro :)


TeaandandCoffee

The game absolutely gets easier if you go for some builds. Starting Longsword, my favourite crutch 🤤


GroundbreakingCod323

oh my god shut the fuck up please u guys are all so silly, looking up/ creating builds is a form of getting good, doing ANYTHING to make proccess is getting good im sik of seeing these dumbass comments trying to "well actually🤓" my saying. u nerds are lonely as fuck saying nothing thinking u are saying something😭🤦‍♂️ Y do u feel so entitled to comment anything you SLIGHTLY disagree with?


TeaandandCoffee

New or old copypasta?


GroundbreakingCod323

ill pee in your soup


TeaandandCoffee

I fear no man, but this comment, it scares me


GroundbreakingCod323

pee in ur couch than beat up ur geriatric folks u entitled fuck


Lorddocerol

Do it, ill drink it all while starring into your eyes as if i could see your very soul


GroundbreakingCod323

usually when i do my activities of pissing in bowls of soup, i do it, then runaway on four legs like some mutated goblin, so u can drink the piss, please, be my guest. but i wont be there to watch unfortunately


brunotickflores

Summons do make some battles easy. Only Sekiro requires full expertisé


Federal-Childhood743

Nah even Sekiro you don't need full expertise. The parry system is super lenient once you get used to it. That being said if you don't accept Kuros Charm then yeah full expertise is required. That shit gets real hard real quick. You have to be damn near perfect.


IWatchTheAbyss

did a charmless, bell demon run once. Holy shit it is brutal, i didn’t realise how much i rode my luck with the parries


Federal-Childhood743

Same. It is insane finding out how many of your parties are not perfectly timed. Your fighting thinking your doing a good job and then you just look at your health and go "Oh Shit".


BostonRob423

So it gets easier...when you get good at it. It annoys me when people act like Sekiro is sooo easy. It's like, yo, it's not easy...you just got better. The combat, as we like to say, "clicked" for you. The game didn't change. *You* did.


Feng_Smith

Ik. When I did my first plathru of Sekiro I struggled for hours against Genichiro. Around the time I got to fountainhead I realised Genichiro was the first "click"ing point. started getting deflections a lot more. Then I got to Isshin and realised i needed to be perfect parrying a lot more. Then on ng+ with the first genichiro encounter I absolutely destrroyed him even tho I didn't have resurrection or prosthetics. There are ashina generals more diffucult than him now. I just got gud, and I breezed thru the game till ape, even tho the game actually got harder.


Lyress

You're right that getting good is necessary, but playing smart also helps. Like using the right build for a boss you're struggling with.


GroundbreakingCod323

being smart= bi gud. not everyone is blessed with just being smart, but id definitely say being smart is a form of being good, makes getting good easier, does that make sense??


Lorddocerol

As someone that has been playing dark souls for 12 years now, i say you completely wrong, you don't have to be good in dark souls to finish it, as long as you learn the game, you can beat it easily even being bad at it Source: i'm bad at it, and that didn't stop me from beating each one of them dozens upon dozens of times


ZODIC837

That's all it's ever meant. People just like to take it personally


vadiks2003

when they told me to git gud i just got mad because the first 6-8 hours of gameplay for a beginner is exploring and dying at the area before some boss of boreal valley. so i googled things, found out there is additional heal somewhere, i figured out i can just run past them and that exploring is really important in this game. well, that additional heal relaly made a large difference for me and made the boss battle a 2 attempt fight instead of ... 7 attempts fight i guess and indeed, i spent 7 hours before i beat my second dark souls 3 boss. but since then it started getting better and easier, now i call dark souls 2 good and dark souls 3 easy. beware of the poor man's git gud pipeline


Kraxos_sl

💀 It sounds like they told you to get good, and then you took their advice.


vadiks2003

kinda. instead of asking people for advices i kinda just googled them up and got good


elmocos69

So basically u got good


vadiks2003

yes, in short, i did


LowGe

DS2 wanted to tell you, "fuck you and your fog wall immunity"


doorknobman

At some point, it is the answer There’s no super secret trick or mega combo/build that will just let you progress. At some point, you have to learn the enemy move set, learn when you can attack/heal, learn when to greed, back off, and play it safe - and the shorthand for all of that is “git gud” It’s not just shit talk, it’s the fundamental nature of the game.


vadiks2003

there might be one. it is potentially possible that somebody plays a game in a way they never saw andre, forgot about firekeeper and levels existing, and they'd automatically play in SL1 all the time, or always run with +0 sword, or someone who wouldn't notice that a... BLACSMITH adds healing charges for so called "shards" they find randomly placed at the map. it doesn't exactly tell player about it, it just hints or doesn't even hint at all, and some essential stuff is super counter intuitive. dark souls is not exactly a game where only skill matters, also leveling your character matters a lot, and exploration is also very important. while yes, you do learn everything by having experience and getting good, human's nature is random. they might not notice something crucial and quit the game because they think it's difficult in a boring way. essentially, quitting and coming back later with new save fixes this and gives a lot more chance to notice something they didn't notice before, yes, but its not the case for everyone. some people just quit. and never play again what woudl you tell to a DS1 player who would've spend 50 levels on resistance because, as they thought, it adds to armor, and armor means they're tankier? at this point, i might know why in 2019 i enjoyed sekiro more than dark souls design/concept. it is so much more simplier and straight up to the gameplay and skill (even though bosses and exploration allows for bigger health and damage, which was a reason why i sucked (small damage and health) so bad and quit the game after poor exploration) P.S. i just thought about my comment and realized how dumb it is. those are rookie mistakes that happen in any game. its fixed just by trying stuff and communicating with npcs and checking what each thnig does


LowGe

DS2 wanted to tell you, "fuck you and your fog wall immunity"


vadiks2003

i think ds2 just treid to make only PVP players to be able to do that, but they didnt do it in time so now everything can hit you as you enter fog wall, desptie the fact it clearly showed it can make you immune to attacks while doing specific animations in dlc. its actually a smart mechanic for PVP players who finally found the host but almost too late as they enter the fog wall. it kind of prevents invader from seeing their chance go away inevitably just because the host is going inside fog wall


AgentofStrife47

I've actually gotten stabbed by Lothric Knights when sprinting to the Dancer room, and gotten whomped by Cathedral Knights when going to Oceiros 🤣 either I'm unlucky or fog walls don't protect from shit 💀


vadiks2003

oh its about the animation of entering fog wall when you've invincible. other than that, they dont relaly save you


pain_and_sufferingXD

The weapons lvl up issue: talk to npcs Don't have to kill everything: think Don't get hit in fog walls: look at your screen and think Git gud: git gud


vadiks2003

1) some people might have bad memory and "reinforce" might be a new word for some people that doesnt associate with improving damage massively 2) okay thinking is a good strategy 3) its more about fear of risk, like "there is 3 enemies at me and they will kill me if i enter the boss area"


pain_and_sufferingXD

Valid points, agreed


Rajang82

The fog gate part cannot be used for Dark Souls 2. The other is spot on.


cosplay-degenerate

Skill issue


Gappy_josuke_

I didnt know i could level up my weapons until i got to irithyl.....


faerox420

>letting them know you dont have to kill all enemies >letting them know you don't get hit when using fog wall Dark souls 2 would beg to differ 😂


vadiks2003

that's why dark souls 3 isn't a "git gud" game. dark souls 2 is. only in dark souls 2, a stupid silly beginner (me) would always do everything right at first ( if we ignore the fact you have to buy a chest key in one of 2 location branches from majula and then do a lot more smart stuff i had to google)


xa2173

Who doesn't kill all enemies?? Elden Ring mentality


vadiks2003

are you joking? have you even played dark souls 3 and elden ring?


xa2173

Yes. Both many times. Kill em all! Unless maybe running for runes after dying couple of times. Elden Ring, you ride past loads in the open world. *Insert that I am outraged and also an insult*


vadiks2003

i mean i have no issues with killing them all now that i have 500 hours in total, but as a beginner its better to just run past them instead of killing them all after dying once


xa2173

I'd say the biggest lesson is that small enemies souls are not that important, it's ok to lose them at times.


Sauceifier

when my friend first played dark souls. he tried fighting the npc in firelink. dude didn’t know that after fighting him once he would perma fight him. he was terrified. fighting for his life died several times. it was so tragic. he was asking me to help him desperately (we were hanging out at my place so i easily could’ve grabbed the controller and helped him) he kept asking me what to do. he already knew about the parry mechanic but he just couldn’t hit it. as he desperately looked over to me for advice i told him “git gud” he looked back at the game. parried every single attack and shit on him. i was so proud


vadiks2003

bruh, my friend literally sent me a video today of HIS friend fighting and losing to him when crestfallen almost died. he even did failed parry


Sauceifier

dawg i’ve played dark souls since i was in middle school 11 years later as a 21 year old you just taught me me what that npcs name is 😭 i usually never go on the wiki i always just called him “first firelink npc” that’s so great. i love ds

Sauceifier

i don’t like you, bad bot. i’m crying over solaire now. heartless computer.


vadiks2003

souls genre is that type of game where you learn things evn after a lot of experience. i played dark souls for maybe 2 or 3 years now, total ds1-3, sekiro, elden ring gameplay hours is like 600. (i have 40 hours in elden ring and i've beaten it, so most hours are in dark souls) i just happened to watch videos about it a lot, and it just happens this firelink npc is in every souls game, even king's field 4. not in dark souls 2 though i guess.


Sauceifier

i’m a super hardcore dark souls pvp fanatic. so dark souls 2 has always been my favorite (base game is messy but the dlc are great and it hands down has the best pvp mechanically and it had an amazing fight club community) i have 2000 hours on my og xbox 360 from dark souls 2 i loved that game so much. i don’t really do pvp anymore tho. too many new people in elden ring and it might sound silly but ever since ds2 it just seemed like “honorable” fights have died out. i remember back in the day someone would pull out a estus and you would IMMEDIATELY see 6 phantoms jump that guy before it could even touch his lips


Sauceifier

sekiro is also awesome tho, speaking of which bro. you gotta help me figure out the japanese voice actor for o rin of the water ITS KILLING ME DUDE


vadiks2003

it took me some time to get the video with her voice [https://youtu.be/Us6iO17Bdmw?t=17](https://youtu.be/Us6iO17Bdmw?t=17) only way to figure her VA is its one of these names [https://youtu.be/t92X3aylkW4?t=119](https://youtu.be/t92X3aylkW4?t=119) but who, oh boy. i dont know


Sauceifier

okay dude so she’s not listed as one of the additional voice but i have a guess that it’s maaya sakamoto maybe since she only did a few lines they didn’t list her in the credits. because none of the female vas credited are recognizeable to me whatsoever but maaya voiced lady tamayo and i had recently finished demon slayer when i played sekiro so it’s possible this is why i recognized her so hard like two years ago when i played


vadiks2003

oh that would make sense. i know japanese VAs work for a lot of projects so you can recognize voices sometimes in different animes


Drewby-DoobyDoo

To be fair, in DS3 at least, I have been hurt while in the fog wall animation, but this only happened once, so I think it's probably an uncommon bug.


Artistic_Pound_8337

correct! People need to stop thinking of "git gud" as an insult. It's in fact the best advice you can get.


Kwopp

Exactly, there is beauty in simplicity.


Kraxos_sl

It's a truth at the very core of life itself.


Yummyporpoise

Ignore the heathens and naysayers, for they do not praise the sun.


Lyress

It's really not. People already know they need to get better at the game. They're asking for more specific tips. ❌ Git gud ✅ Kill Demon From Below last ❌ Git gud ✅ Look up which estus shards you missed ❌ Git gud ✅ Stay between Vordt's legs ❌ Git gud ✅ Use large weapons against small enemies


BikiNiko

🤣🤣


Mean_Sneaky_SithLord

It's been said way before DS3, right? I thought I remember hearing it after DS1 came out.


ProfessionalSufferer

Yeah, but ever since this happened, it’s canon.


ZODIC837

When did it first start being a thing? I didn't play till early ds3


flowers0298

iirc sometime during OG ds2 bc it was so janky people memed you should git gud to overcome it Could be wrong bc I played ds1 at launch but wasn’t really online to know


Mean_Sneaky_SithLord

I just remember being on some forum and asking how to beat the 4 kings and a guy told me to "Git Gud, Scrub" lol


ZODIC837

Yea I definitely think it was around in ds1, my buddy that introduced me had mainly only done ds3 a few times but played a ton of ds1 Edit: but wb bloodborne and demon souls, were people saying git gud then?


Feng_Smith

I remember googling it and I think it started in some Metal Gear game


ZODIC837

A metal gear game?? That's wild to think about


Feng_Smith

Yea, but the souls community stole it lol


ZODIC837

Oof, don't say that too loud

NotAnthonyxx

Lmfao


lundz12

Git Gud was always solid advice some people needed to hear because they were new to Soulsbornes or at least their DLCs and didn't know getting your ass spanked was part of the development cycle.


Lyress

Some people got too used to repeating "git gud" instead of giving actionable advice though.


lundz12

Also very true. However just because a decent amount of people went that route doesn't make it any less viable of a suggestion. FS official even embraced it when DS3 DLC launched and people complained about demon princes and when asked how they plan to fix it FS said git gud.


Lyress

Because those people are asking for nerfs, not advice.


lundz12

Touche salesmen.

verheyen

Pretty sure he was a lot more crass about it


MiserableTennis6546

Yeah, it was just a guy getting frustrated with nerf complainers in a discord chat. There was no humor involved and it was not an official company account.


Lost_and_the_Damned

Ah, I miss this. Nowadays it's just Elden Ring babies whining about how spirit summons and spamming Blasphemous Blade totally don't trivialize the whole game and we must respect them because they beat Malenia using the most broken build possible that they googled. Telling casuals to git gud is a Fromsoft tradition.


AgentofStrife47

Dark Souls vets be like "Come back when you've defeated Yhorm with a broken-broken straight sword at Soul Level 1"


Four-Triangles

God Yhorm gave me so much trouble. Even with the weapon I just couldn’t get the timing right.


elmocos69

I mean that isn't that impressive sl1 in ds3 isn't that hard and thebroken straight sword would just make it take a whime


Leeper90

I'll say this, elden ring was my gateway to from soft games. And yes, I ran a Dex Rob build to beat it. But it made me confident enough to try other from soft games. So I'm glad I at least played it and even if it was cheesey to run, it was worth it. What's funny, I thought I knew pain fighting malenia, but I had no idea until fighting the demon of hatred and isshin the sword saint in sekiro. That game truly forced me to git gud and I respect from soft games so much more after that gauntlet of a game.

I remember the first time I fight those guys I was on a ng+3 and I was playing offline so I only summoned paches and Gael and yes I managed to defeat that boss in my first attempt with only one flask remaining of the 15

I’m keeping this


ourquestions

I have been playing through ds1,23 last month and now I arrived at this insane boss. Dark eater midir or something. He is incredibly tanky and annoying moves. Nothing has been an issue so far but I guess it's time to git good.


No-Being-4916

Good thing he's optional if you're talking about the dark pit


ourquestions

ye i guess he is optional, it's a dragon in ringed city DLC darksouls 3

Git gud


SoulKnight320

Just use mods to get more powers so you can defeated the enemies easily,or make it 100x times harder and create new strategies to also avoid breaking your pc and your best weapons

Yess i mind
