You don't need a catalyst, INT doesn't matter.

Seems you need ATN though... i have...2


Also the red soapstone rocks.

This has probably been asked 50 times already but I haven't been here lately. Can someone tell me what the exact rules for when hollowing is reversed after being summoned? It only seems to happen <20% of the time when I help another player beat a boss, and it even happened a couple of times when I failed. Is it random or am I missing some specific condition that triggers it?

No one knows... and turns out it *might* be a bug.

 

[mollipen]

Yea, figured the first "of the four" you finally down should have felt like a pivotal moment. Hell I wasn't even aware that WAS one of the four until I lit the fire in that bland pointless room. A shame.

Give the route I took, that boss was the third of the bunch I fought. But, I think I maybe ended up taking a different route through the game than a lot of others do. (Especially because by the time I gained a certain option for taking one path, I was long past going that way.)

Ah yeah, that's true. You need 10 ATN to get 1 spell.

It's a bug, you aren't supposed to go back to Human.

Its a bug that was never intended. Consider it a freebie, activated effigy.

Edit: Totally agree Ferrio, its nice to have heh.

They really should keep it. The demon souls method of reviving was the best...

Lovely... thanks guys. I hope they patch it soon, but I'd like it if they'd make it work like DeS, where you reverse hollowing every you help someone beat a boss.

All I find are DEX based weapon, wtf? Where are the STR based weapons?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Well shit. I blew my whole weekend playing this game. Loving it, but I may be stuck at the Smelter Demon. I'm out of human effigies and I have no idea where to get more. I have no chance facing him alone.

 

[sixghost]

Why is your DEX so high? What kind of weapons are you using?

I was using the Falchion for most of the game, then switched to the Uchigatana and Black Steel Katana. My next 20 levels all went into DEX to get it to 40. The reason is because the magic weapon spell tree combined with a weapon that scales well and attacks quickly can output a ton of damage. It really rounds out a caster to be able to switch it up and charge someone with some melee damage, or deal with someone that gets in on you.

 

[Ferrio]

I'm surprised people actually click on the red soapstone writings... figured people would shy away from it.

Makes sense though... someone with blue sentinel would get their tokens if they win and the red gets theirs if they win.

So this happen to my nephew the other night, and I can say from this clip, this reminds me of Dark Souls 1 more then anything!

Yes. Just keep going, you'll find out.

 

[SargerusBR]

I guess OT2 will be made tomorrow judging by how fast this thread is.

 

[nailbombxx]

I agree. The effigies are in very finite supply, and I think that this way it makes the co-op come full circle, ie you must help others so that you may be helped!

 

[cheezcake]

Yes. Just keep going, you'll find out.

Okey Dokey

Haha, helping hosts out with Smelter brings back dark memories of Quelaag.

Incoming highly damaging AOE fire attack ---> me to the host: NO, BACK AWAY, BACK AWA --- aw, fuck.

At least the host didn't die to a trap chest trying to get to the boss...
Messages on the floor, telling him to block for arrow trap, emoting him NO DONT DO IT FUCKER! Yet, he still opened it anyway.
I literally ran in front of him and put up my shield up for him...and he still managed to die by rolling into them.
/sigh

Any place in the game to get a second lighting spear?

Right when you come in after defeating Scorpioness Najka, What was inside the chest up the stairs to the left, the one that the dwarf guy was guarding? I wailed on him not realizing you could destroy chests.

Wow, black gulch is annoying.
You can't even run through to the boss without getting poisoned and enemies at your back.

EDIT: I

completed that jumping challenge and got a Bonfire Ascetic. Because naturally anyone willing to run over near molten rock either loves pain or an idiot, and either way needs a suitable reward.

Yep, and you'll get 'em by the truckload. Last night I wasn't even waiting more than 10 seconds between invasions. It was awesome!

Also, I reckon I'll go a quality build for my next character. Elite Knight set and two-handing a longsword.

Lol, I'm convinced the Bell Covenant is meant to piss everyone that wants to challenge the boss off. I'm still a member for my chunks
