If you're new to the whole Dark Souls concept, just get used to dying. A lot. This is SUPPOSED to happen...
Don't expect to hack and slash your way through enemies easily; instead, learn the timing of their attacks and get them to make a mistake, so that you can get around them (locked on or not) and backstab or riposte.

"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.

I'm still going to die.....
Indeed, I'm sure someone out there will need it. If it's anything like Demon's Souls, the online community will be your best friend for getting through this thing.
As Mr T would say
"Dont need no tips fool"
This is some pretty useful stuff.
same as demons souls id say this is for newcomers but anyone that has played demons souls knows what to expect. a couple more hours and this game will be mine!!!
