don't get hit

Try hitting them with a sword. Hitting them with a sword might work.

Temple place...is it called High Wall of Lothric?

There was a throne room with an engraving saying "Holy King Lothric, Last Hope of hi Line" or something

It felt like a hub world because there was a smith and a handmaiden in the basement area

Yeah, that is Firelink Shrine. A hub where NPC's tend to go to after you talk to them. You can level up at the Fire Keeper by the middle, buy stuff from the Handmaiden and at the Andre the Smith you can upgrade your Estus Flask and weaponry.

The middle of the shrine has an unlit bonfire, light it and you can travel to the next area you need to explore.

Pro tip. Shields are for pussys learn to roll. Rolling gives you invincibility frames so a perfect time roll can save you from a lot

Gotcha

What about parrying? i cant seem to time it right

parrying is a great skill to have an essential to being good at pvp, but you can easily beat the game without parrying.

Be sure to cry on here when you get invaded by someone having fun with their game

Offline mode

How do

I must say though, I'm thoroughly enjoying the combat. It's like Arkham's but turned up to 11 and on Hard mode with no Spidey-sense. Very cool.

The rest of the game I'm kind of overwhelmed with. There's a lot of things that just straight up aren't explained (like what the entire premise is ot what stats do) but im thankful there are no obnoxious tutorials and such. And character customisation is fun, I made my guy look like Rhaegar Targaryen. The game is also clearly dripping with thematic atmosphere. Looking forward to more boss introductions like the last one.

I thought that I'd be left behind with the story, not gameplay or premise.

But whatever. Made my bed and all that.

Play the first one to get the full experience

I dont want to?

people are exaggerating how much you need to play the first one quite a bit. one of the guys I lived with had never played a souls game in his life and got through it just fine and generally understood what was up. People saying "you need to play the first one" played the first one, so they don't realize other than the kinda retarded gundyr boss  being 5 minutes into the game, 3 is probably more newbie friendly than 1 given the cleaner combat, hub world with lots of helpful npc's, and fast travel available from the start.


Also I thought of another tip and I'm gunna avoid spoiling anything here. The souls you can pick up as items can be used to get souls on the spot . Bosses also drop souls. DONT consume these until you find out what they do.

I can tell. Though if I enjoy myself enough I'll definitely fork over some cash for Scholar of the First Sin and DS1 (the latter will be longer because I'd have to set up my PS3 again.) Bloodborne too.

Those corpses with the glowing white balls above them that read "Pilage remains" or something?

What do you mean "consume"? Ive already used some points or something to upgrade my vitality and faith IIRC.

yes when you can pillage corpses sometimes you'll get weapons/armor/consumables but other times you'll get things called names like "souls of a weary traveler" or "soul of a proud knight."If you go into your inventory you can use them to gain souls on the spot.

You should have an item in your inventory called "soul of ____ " (whatever the first bosses name was)
There's one of those for every boss. You CAN use them to gain a large amount of souls. You SHOULD hold on to them until you can do something else with them.
