Nobody prepared me for the Dark Souls 3 experience 

Sorry for the wait on these videos, dealing with some personal stuff. Hope you guys enjoy!

“Yeah I’m kinda underleveled and my estus is low so today I’m gonna catch up” immediately goes to the last mid game boss lmao

You were not supposed to fight dancer that early lol. You actually did really well against her

"I was supposed to kill that lady i thought I messed up right there" oh you definitely did 😂

Im glad somebody else noticed that the boss is easier the first time you fight them! Then they just get insane after the first death

Bro really tried to do the Dancer skip unintentionally 😂💀

They call 'em winblades for a reason lol

Bro casually pulled out the best weapon in the game lmfao

Dancer is basically guard dog for the end game lol you actually did really well considering you probably shouldn’t be fighting her at all. Love the videos man hope everything is good with the personal situation because you def bring me up with the uploads

The final boss to the second dlc (ringed city) is the greatest boss from any game I have ever played. The music, mechanics, theme and visuals just set a damn tone and gave me a feeling I’ve never had especially by the final phase. Damnit that boss is so good.

dancer actually isn't an optional boss, the intended progression is after you defeat your final lord of cinder, it immediately teleports you to her boss room to begin her fight to unlock the castle

As a dark souls veteran Pontiff still makes me rage. Man doesn't let you heal lol.

Bro hopefully you read this, even if you ain’t motivated every day. Every upload you do brightens my day by a fuckijg lot. Keep doing yo thing 🫶🏻

15:43 man… if only he knew

Those twinblades are arguably the best weapons in the game, top 5 for sure

Dancer is easily my most favourite boss out of all souls games. I used to hate her, but after many fights with different characters, and beating her on lvl 1 with no weapon upgrades I absolutely love her

8:40 unfortunately the most common way to find this for most players is trying to fight the skeletons that chase you across, then you all fall and die.

The Twinblades are basically the easy-mode weapon for DS3, they are too good. Play how you want but just be aware that they are pretty busted. Still enjoying your DS3 playthrough tho

The moment someone don't know Bazoonga Lady is sad😢 Ranni ain't standing ground too

Man, i miss Dark Souls 3 it was my first love . I especially miss co oping the Slave Knight Gael fight . But props to you friend , the dancer is a later game boss she's tough you did well .

Since you got the twin Blades ITS eaasy Mode now You should get the lightning Blade Miracle then you start to mow down anything

8:38 Fighting the skeleton horde on the bridge would more than likely accidentally cut the supports, causing the player to panic and try to rob off the bridge before it fell and created the ladder, killing the skeletons in the process.

Freaking Flo! You are becoming a Legend. Souls are my favorite style of game. And I suck at videogames in general. But it is awesome to see you grow and overcome whatever obstacle in your path! You're awesome bro!

Most people use the bridge and accidentally cut it themselves fighting the horde, or it collapses when youre all on it. Hinting that if you make it across fast enough you can gravity kill them, and then notice you can climb down. What most people dont do is immediately use the side route and do the tango with the horde and 3 inches of space AND LIVE lmao.

The confidence building between each video is legendary, keep it up man!

Important note Flo: If you wanna kill the dancer easily use the dark hand from yuria. Very easy to obtain

I really like it when youtubers notice the mechanics of a boss mid-fight (I'm referring to him realizing the sully-clone does the bosses own attacks before the boss does). Good eye!

“These crabs are on fire, what kinda crabs are these?” 😂

Bro I'm not joking or exaggerating when I say a LARGE chunk of new players eventually go for the fallen knight and dual blade/katana combo. Had a buddy recently get into DS3 and I told him about the armor and weapon combo and he went wide eyed and asked "how tf did you know?" He'd fallen victim too.

this series is the most painful series to watch BUT the most entertaining 10/10 channel bro manages to make me scream out of anger and joy

Man this game is incredible. Need to replay it soon

Bro fought a late boss early and held his own. Not bad.

Ds3 was my first souls game (I played Ds2 and hated the hollowing mechanic) and I beat the Abyss Watchers on my fourth attempt; heart pumping, fingers shaking, that freaking ost releasing so much adrenaline that I just sat there frozen with my friends in silence rolling and slashing. That was the moment I realised I was going to love Dark Souls. I could never lock in that hard again until Lorian and the Soul of Cinder.

In case no one knows, the reason bosses feel easier the first time, is loading of assets. The game must load the moves the first time. Meaning it's move sets are slower, the second time they are loaded in cache, meaning no load time waiting. Also the longer you play a game, the exact opposite can happen, meaning the cache gets filled and takes longer to load new animations to the point that it doesn't even load some attack moves. IE Moon Presence from Bloodborne had the biggest problem with this.

I wish I could play ds3 for the first time again. Incredible game, even better soundtrack. Damn life changing

I just finished my first run of DS3. I gotta say this game was amazing. Once you nail the flow of combat this game just becomes so much fun. My favs were Midir, Gael, SOC and NK. Just wild fights.

I remember cutting down that ladder on a desperate guess after asking myself what the bone sounds were and then doing a genuine spit take at the amount of skeletons following me.

There is a message about that bridge, and this message is really hard to miss.

"I thought I messed up!" Oh sweet summer child

16:13 that was a smooth dodge, man causally pulled out the ultra instinct

"I found this really cool armor" Not the piss set 😭😭

Enjoyed watching as always. By the way, I believe the first boss fight always feels easier, because the bosses are programmed to show you their entire moveset on the first encounter.

Those twin blades with bleed do work great video as always man got a good laugh on this one!

“I thought I messed up.” *YOU HAVE* Dancer appears

He found the sellsword win blades, Its Joever chat

The Pontiff had me stuck for a few days. I was so glad when I finally put him down. For a minute there i thought i wasnt going to be able to beat the game, but alas!

Oh my, you did so well this ep on Dancer and Pontiff!!

good stuff bro, pontiff is a pretty big wall and killing him without parrying him ain’t easy. also nice job killing dancer that early, you def weren’t supposed to do that yet but nice job

Dancer is the gatekeeper for endgame, you absolutely shouldn't be fighting her now

I feel you man, you have no expectations the first fight of a boss so you almost mop up, then the next fight you think you know something and the boss just laughs and goes “oh yeah, watch this”

I just started playing it also, I fought Dancer at level 50 before I even fought Pontiff. I got all the way to Dragonslayer Armor before I even remembered I had to beat Pontiff and also forgot entirely about the Dungeon area.

The thing you did way too early is dodge roll, constantly, you’re not supposed to immediately mash the roll button as soon as see the boss move like some kinda tweaker, that’s why it’s called “timing” and not “omfg movement detected, mash, mash, mash” - it seems like you’re doing too many inputs as well, if you try to attack or roll too early during your previous animation then the game will either eat your input (ie. do nothing) or it’ll lock you into that movement even if you don’t wanna do it anymore (which you won’t, because how could you predict the future, you can’t, you were just panic mashing buttons). Try to be more reactive, read the enemies telegraphing their next move (they all do), position yourself behind or to the side of them (depends on the enemy) where they’ll whiff their attack so you can punish them (don’t get greedy), and then reset and do it again, and be deliberate with your inputs, time the roll, roll in a direction where you can not just avoid the attack but come out of the roll in a position to bait a whiff or strike (usually into the attack so you can get to the side/back of them and their combo won’t track). And keep the stamina bar in your peripheral at all times, you don’t want to be at zero stamina when a boss goes in for a grab, besides your attacks do way less damage if your stamina is too low. Hope this helps!

btw, "that" way actually does lead to the arrow thing in the lake, also everything at the end of Irythill and in Anor Londo is a giant Dark Souls 1 referance, like that woman painting is a main NPC from DS1

The demon ruins do lead to the archer eventually its a long dungeon with only one other bonfire though. There is a second way in in the lake thats a lot closer to the way to the ballista if you can find it!

Twin blades op. Love this series man!

Bro really triggered the dancer fight this early 😂

Always try to kill him the first time you meet the lady. Next area up ladder is where you need to be. GO upstairs & open short cut then loot that wooded poison area b4 killing that optional boss. Then go straight from ladder & that area is 1 of the the absolute best, most fun, really OP area of the game.

Those twinblades are named the "winblades" by the community for a reason. Also, use its weapon art fully by hitting r2 after the first spin, fun and strong in the right situations

Nice vid, tho you missed a ring in the lake, you should stand before a brick wall against the ballista and then the wall will break and behind is a ring after that you can deactivate the ballista, but you should explore the corners( I don't want to spoil much)

Oh hey, he found the win-blades. Easily the strongest weapon in the game

Keep playing this game playa I’m on demon time for the notis 😂

Good job man! I knew you had it in you! 🎉

Floverse, you the man Fr 👑

Totally agree with that the first attempts are the best ones at a boss fight

I came here from a Lies of P video so I thought I was tripping when I heard the Kraut Hotel theme playing faintly in the background.

That twinblade sellsword is actually OP, I feel like I was play on easy mode when I tried these blade

this really makes me want to play through DS3 again

I had the same criticism of this series for a while but now I just don’t care, these videos are fun as hell to watch anyways

The casual Armour was helping you 😂 gg bro

Pontiff had a Mimic Tear 😂

'your boys improving out here man' Yes you are and we're very proud 🥺👏

i would recommend investing more in stamina aswell, great videos!

I think the area people were saying you skipped from last video was the cathedral of the deep. It was after crystal sage and had deacons as the boss. I think you did it and just didnt upload though, because i dont think you can fight pontiff without beating deacons. Also small note, you should reinvestigate the catacombs next to the bone worm. I think you missed a lot?? Congrats on beating pontiff without parrying, i dont think ive ever managed that. Love the videos, keep it up.

I am a twinblade/dancer swords user. Twinblade for things I have some trouble with, dancer swords for fashion. Twinblade is the best weapon.

NGL this series made me redownload DS3 lmao. Well the Very Very Hard Mode version of it. Still, nice to see that things are looking up.

Floverse after you beat ds3 could you do ds1, ds2 or demon souls next?

When you said you need to backtrack and clean up some bosses you missed, i didnt know you meant the dancer! That shit is hard dude

These twinblades are called Winblades for a reason. My personal fave

The worm in Smoldering Lake is Solaire 😢

Can’t wait for Nameless and the Champ

13:20 actualy the giant arrow guy is somewhere trough these catacombs

Here is some fun lore. Pontiff Sulyvahn is the ruler of Irithyll and is a main antagonist against you. He put Vordt where he is to stop Unkindled Ones from entering the Undead Settlement, and from there to not only where Aldritch is supposed to be sleeping(Where the Deacons of the Deep boss is) but also Farron Keep where the Abyss Watchers are. He also put the Dancer where she is to stop the Ashen One, an unkindled that has proven that they could link the flame, from progressing as well. And of course Pontiff Sulyvahn is trying to stop you from something he thinks is very important. But that stuff is yet to come so no more lore for now.

Sellsoul Winblades. Basically easy-mode for the entire game. Especially if you start as merc. Bet it feels good though after getting crappy stomped 500+ times. My first playthrough was with heavy armor, greatshield and Vordts great mace. Big bulky str tank.

Dancer is such a perfect boss! Everything about her is SO cool.

I just found out your existence like two days ago and saw your series on bloodborne and I’m very curious about what build your in cause it is really op

Those twinblades are called the "winblades" by the community lol. One of the best weapons in the game, and it's not a contest at all

Pontiff loves punishing those panic rolls. He was tryin to get into the Elden Ring roster :)

Had a blast with 3’s main game. Couldn’t pass the OP DLC bosses. 😢 I should try a spellcaster build in another future go. The one I did in Elden was SO fun!

Brother, don't forget to travel back to firelink shrine u can actually trade the bosses souls for really badass weapons you basically get the boss's weapon

Dude I made it to the Dancer without any estus flasks or bone shards being burned cause I had no idea that's what they were for lmao. I also missed the same areas as you cause the game has no map or quest log or any directions or anything lol. We had almost the same experience LOL.

Did i just hear "get over heree" from mortal kombat. Thats hilarious.

if u wanna buff your weapom with lighting or fire or dark, use pine resin on or

There is a hole in the ground at the big area where the big ballista is... Missed area.

You know its a good day when floverse uploads 💯💯🔥🔥

Can’t wait for the oceiros fight

Does anyone know if there are longer videos of this playthrough? I checked on twitch but there is no content.

U def not the first to fight dancer early not knowing youre supposed to fight her after the 3 lords of cinder

Dancer is still one of my favorite bosses in the entire series, such an incredible design

Pontiff got that Chronicles of Riddick power.

I’ve never died to dancer, want to know how I’m not lying? I struggle against old demon king, idk why but he brick walls me every time
