Dark Souls III is an action role-playing game set in a third-person perspective. According to director Hidetaka Miyazaki, the game's gameplay design "follows closely from Dark Souls II". Players are equipped with a variety of weapons including shortbows, explosives like fire bombs, greatswords and dual-wielding swords to fight against enemies, and shields that can be used to deflect an enemies' attack and protect the player from suffering damage. In addition, attacks can be evaded through dodge-rolling. Bonfires, which serve as checkpoints, also return from previous installments.

Ashes, according to Miyazaki, will play an important role in the game. Magic is also featured in the game. Each attack has two different styles. One of them is standard attack, while another provides power-ups to players, and is slightly more powerful. When performing miracles and spells, the players' magic points are consumed and decreased. In order to refilled these points, they need to consume Ash Estus Flask. There are two different Estus Flasks in the game. One of them can help refill magic points, while another refill hit points. Combat and movements were made faster and more fluid in Dark Souls III. Several players' movements, such as backstepping and swinging heavy weapons, can be performed more rapidly, allowing players to deal more damage in a short period of time.

Throughout the game, players encounter different types of enemies, each with different behaviors. Some of them change their combat pattern during battles. New combat features are introduced in Dark Souls III, including "Ready Stance", which are special abilities for players that allow them to deal much more damage to enemies than ordinary attacks are capable of. Small gravestones are also introduced. These gravestones light up when interacted with and not only serve as players' torches, but also provide additional lore to the game.

The game puts more focus on role-playing, in which the character builder is expanded and weapons are improved to provide more tactical options to players. The game features fewer maps than its predecessor Dark Souls II, but levels were interconnected and were made larger, which encourages exploration. The agility stat from Dark Souls II was removed from Dark Souls III. The game also features multiplayer elements, like the previous games in the series.

"Best way to do this fight is to just avoid being hit"

Pretty sound advice right there.

[CrossLive]

I'm not sure who this Midir boss is, the only boss I ever fight in that room is the camera.

[simplegamerz]

If i focused on school as hard as i did on this boss fight i would be the smartest kid ever

[nickbingo]

Best way to survive this fight is to not die.

[jacobkern]

How to sum up Lapp in a single quote: You thought it was a new NPC, but it was me, Patches!

[apollyonkatastrefia]

With patches saying a fine dark soul to you it's like Miazaki saying goodbye.

[ishlac]

It took me 2 hours and 50 minutes to kill midir, then my grandpa took me out for ice cream

( he also plays dark souls)

[originalcinema]

The wolf knight's greatsword and Farron greatsword are suppose to do more damage since midir was consumed by the abyss.

[parontjason]

I seriously hate how he makes that damn dragon look so easy. I die one more time I'm hurling my pc through a wall

[LordKelvinX]

Fun fact about Old Moonlight: even though everybody knows that the Moonlight Greatsword has been in every one of From's Souls games + Bloodborne, Old Moonlight's model is pretty much directly based on the original Moonlight Sword from King's Field. That's what the description means when it talks about the Beginning.

[bobbrooks-ug]

the big dragon took me the longest out of any soulslike boss. its 2023 and ive platinumed lies of p (my first soulslike) then platinumed elden ring (thanks to your videos cowboy) then i finished ds3 and got the dlc. by far the most tries out of any boss from any of those games. TRY TO STAGGER THIS GUY if youre melee! the stagger does much!

[kimduong]

1 small trick might help u that if u failed the 1st times beating midir:
+from the second times u can just stand exactly where u drop off and wait for midir to come to you since hes always start with the running move.
+Just stand still and stay calm because its gonna look like ur getting hit, but if u dont move from the location, you would be fine.
+When hes done with the first move and turn around, u would be right underneath him. From there, run straight up and get a 2-3 free hits to his head.
Furthermore, by this starting like this, u actually see how magnificent midir doing the whole attk pattern without worrying abt getting rekt for a few secs.

[sodafied]

Tool me 26 tries to beat midir... I only know because i had 26 embers

[cddino]

Let me tell you, that npc summon was a godsend... she distracted midir almost the entire fight, allowing me to do McSpanky's glorious rear end nuclear wombo combo.

[jacobkern]

Midir feels like From's attempt at making a Borderlands-style raid boss (about 20 metric tons of HP, slow attacks, attacks that will almost always 1-shot you, and idiotic HP scaling). In the higher playthroughs (Playthrough 6 or NG+5, I want to say), from what I've heard, every attack will kill you in a single hit, even with maxed-out Vigor and multiple Life Rings.

[zShaNKeRz]

for me i found summoning that one person to be a great help. before the summon i tried solo and died like 4-5 times and only did about 50%. with the summon, midir was focused on the summon a majority of the time and i was able to get hits in. Because of this, later on in the fight (when midir had 1/3 health left) the summon died and it was perfectly fine because i still had a lot of estus and was able to dwindle down his health to eventually kill him.

[OoJoshee]

After 3 hours of trying to beat this boss I finally did it I'm shaking right now lol I had no health X.X

[theryanjester]

Actively hating fighting this boss. All he does is charge at me and then lump to the other side of the arena

[winterwolf]

NG+6, every fucking time that I watch a Midir "walkthrough", he acts like a goddamn lamb.

And every fucking time that I try, he acts like a freaking possessed beast. whatever he does, he hits me. I'm done with that shit. Fucking giant lizard.

Anyway, awesome vid.

[gobeyond]

When I first saw this fight the first thing I noticed(besides Midir) was the music 🎶 it was so beautiful the chanting and violins and flutes really makes this boss fight seem so badass
