There should be a covenant somewhere in that church, I've not explored it that thoroughly though but it's apparently there somewhere.
Also after killing the Pope he drops his armor once you leave and do some other stuff, maybe kill a boss or two and then when you return a body will be in that room with the popes armor.

those clones attack whoever is closest to them or who attacked them last , i usually wait to have 2 closes and the boss then run away and leave them to beat themselves up a bit to save estus (you will need them for phase 2 )
And the strategy is keep medium range and roll to right  don't be close to them but not too far either

You'll get a chance to kill them later. I don't recall what they drop.

From what I've seen in other videos, this tactic more or less spans the majority of the game.
I doubt I'll ever understand the praise that's lauded upon this series - it's so lackluster in the story and RPG department that the only thing its got going for it is the endless stream of trash mobs followed by "difficult" (gimmicky pattern) boss battles.
And playing it, well, it'd be the equivalent of paying $60 for a coked up escort to come kick you in the balls while wearing spiked heels - if you're a masochist and that's your thing, go for it. The rest of us however...

Short answer No
| Spoiler: | They just die , nothing drops or anything you go upstairs whack one them few times then they get "stoned" as you said nothing special , i expected a big fight myself |
|
huh? You missed something. The dragons are controlled by that gooey mass crap that certain enemies have. Somewhere there is such a mass sticking out of the dragon, kill it and you kill the dragon and the dragon vanishes.

The combat in DS games is very simple and repetitive, there are no specific skills to use or combos to do, but what makes it unique is how it all comes together. It feels surprisingly satisfying to hit enemies with your favorite weapon, because the sound effects and animations are so good that you forget how plain and shallow the whole game actually is - eventually it's all about timing and patience. There's nothing else like it out there and that's why it has become so popular. Like Blizzard with WoW, they got it right, but for how much longer?
I consider DS1 as one of the best games ever made, because back in 2012 it felt so damn different and unique - there was something very magical about its world and lore. DS2 turned out to be more of the same, the magic was gone and I had to force myself to finish it. There was nothing special about its simplicity anymore, so after beating two Souls games, I have no desire to start it all over again with DS3, especially after seeing playthrough videos of players raging and cursing during a boss fight for 30th time or more. Fuck that. Personally, I'm done with it.
They say it's the final game of the series, which is hard to believe, considering its massive commercial success, but if it somehow does continue, it needs a serious break. You can't reinvent the wheel, but what you can do is to replace medievil setting with something else, something fresh and just add more new stuff, because you just can't ride the same wave forever.

Yeah whatever Dude DS 3 is still a genuinely good game and probably the best in the series it's at least a lot better then DS2 which wasn't even made from the same team as DS 1 and 3.
Saying you don't want to play it cause you saw some nubs failing at the game in some videos also makes you sound like a huge pussy tbh...

Personally, I hope that's not true. I still can't get enough of Souls. I wish I could play Demon Souls or Bloodborne, and it's probably only reason why I would ever consider getting PS4 at this time.

Same could be said about most other popular (action RPG) games, like Elder Scrolls or Fallout. They keep releasing recycled gameplay, which, in my opinion, is much more worthy of change than Souls series. Yet people still keep buying and playing it. There's saying don't fix what isn't broken. As long as games are popular, or better yet gain on the popularity (growth), they won't change much.
PS: Also please name at least one game within the genre that has better (deeper, less simplistic and/or repetetive) combat than Souls series. I'd like to know what you personally would want to see.

What i dislike is the constant re-use of animations and enemy types since Demons Souls.
Best example: The enemies at the beginning of each game with their fast weapon combo attack.

Some people are fucking tired of repeating same shit over and over not because it's difficult per se, but because the mechanism behind it artificially increases difficulty.
The PC version is still a shit console port in terms of controls. I died 4 or 5 times simply because the camera decided to spin on it's own into some opposite direction I was facing (with auto-center camera turned-off). This is not difficult, this is lame.
I still like the game, I will still play it (mainly for the world they crafted) but can't be arsed to admire it with soe much testosterone passion as some people. I also am one of those people that see Dark Souls (1) as a masterful piece of art, despite it's technical flaws. But these half-ass console controls ported on PC weight heavily on the negative side for me.
Oh, you dared to criticize Dark Souls 3? You must be a pussy! GTFO and GIT GUD! Please...  |

There ARE lots of games with such combat, to name some old ones: Severance- Blade of Darkness, Gothic, Enclave, Rune. But Dark Souls series have more depth and feel more rewarding. Probably the multiplayer also plays big part in the success.

DS is its own genre now... They need to make the combat more fluid, similar to Dragon's Dogma, but without party members of course. Add more skills - grabbing, throwing enemies in the air, jumping over them, more acrobatic stuff etc. Also, more serious 1 vs 1 fights with added tension instead of killing one generic trash mob after another on a way to the boss. You don't have to turn it into some kind of Devil May Cry hack n' slash bullshit, but just find the right balance. It's too damn stiff right now, there's not enough variety even after backstabbing or parrying thousands of enemies through the years. There are no puzzles, no platforming - I get that, but they need to do something new to keep evolving instead of slowly dying...
I've completed DS1, DS2 with DLC and I've simply had enough of doing the same thing all over again, nothing to do with being a "pussy." The same shit happened with Assassin's Creed or Resident Evil games - it just got too comfortable and lazy for me. And if something becomes boring, it's time to move on.

As you can by the sales so far, DS3 is the best selling of the Souls games already.
So people are obviously more than fine with most features of the games. No need to implement more features or completely change the combat system for example.

Didn't they try it already by getting rid of shields altogether in Bloodborne? So it kind of shows that they're trying to add some variety in their games and mix it up a little bit. The question is how many DS with the exact combat system, setting and gameplay are enough for gamers to say we're getting kind of bored? 5, 10?

I understand your point. And some posts before i gave an example of the rehashing in this franchise since the beginning.
But to be honest i still am and get excited for new Souls games.
Let's see how the next game will be. I expect at least a few years of break though till the next one.
