Stay close and strafe around them, they don't corner very well.

Yeah, I admittedly suck dick against hyper aggressive enemies. I always panic roll AWAY, instead of toward most of the time. No matter how many times I call myself an idiot and try to stop, that muscle memory is hard to correct.
It's the same for rune bears. They actually aren't that hard if you stick close and time your rolls. But every goddamn time I roll panic away like a moron and get caught. Every time I get an easy kill by doing it properly, it's always met with me saying, "Just do that every time you fucking dumbass' to myself.
I love this game.

Vaati if you are a normie
Tarnished archeologist if you are a man of culture.
I personally like Ratatoskr as well. But he's small time.

Yeah I read those. Didn't know if there was an encyclopedia like Western RPG's tend to do. I'm that asshole that reads the books in Elder Scrolls games.

Nah there's nothing else in-game or official.
The youtube sources quoted above are just people who take what little in-game lore there is and create educated guesses. It's interesting and useful but it's not official.
No it is all item based. You have the basic description of what they do, then most items have a press X or whatever to get the extra description which have a lore snippet. Pretty much every item has it, minor lore from minor things and major lore from major items like weapons, boss souls and the likes.
The only written in game lore are on a few giant swords scattered around like grave stones (you know them when you see them, giant sword that has some lore on it you can click and around it are scattered smaller swords.).
Then you try to combine the lore from items, the small texts and what little dialogue there is like
Then after you finish it, having little to no understanding wtf you did to get that ending and what it meant or what you missed to not get the 5 other ones even though you think you did a thorough playthrough, you youtube a lore video leaving you confused as to who the 15 NPCS they reference are that you never encountered.

Quest givers and especially quest items give a lot of info. Like cursemark of death. Deaths pustules, things you can't interact with. And if you follow the long quest lines that tie tightly together like ranni-rogier-blaidd-seluvius-jerren-sellen it's pretty cool. Or rahdan-malenia-millicent-gowry-and all that ties into placeduex and the frenzied flame ending.

In DS3 I'm holding off on going to NG+ entirely if I can help it. Gonna have to run it again to get the third ending and there'll probably be some other missable type things that require a second run, I don't know. The earlier Souls games usually took 3 runs even if you were save scumming endings.
Like I was telling the other guy, it's probably faster to start from scratch on NG than push through an NG+, and probably will be easier on you with the DLC too. But I don't know honestly, somebody who's actually good at the game might have zero issues on NG+ and be better off keeping their levels and stuff.
Yeah it's all a bit of a conundrum at this point. My whole plan was to have a NG character leveled up and ready to go by the DLC, which I think was the best idea, but now with the time crunch I don't know.

Yeah dude, that stuff is so annoying after a while. Messages right in front of chests, on top of summoning pool statues, etc just to cause you to possibly hit the wrong thing.
Also in DS3 I think at least 98%, ninety-eight freaking percent, of the "hidden door" messages I saw all game were in front of solid walls.
Finally, the most important hidden door in the game, the one that leads to Oceiros and a whole secret area........ did not have a message in front of it.
