I'm loving the changes they made to NG+. Right now I'm in
and there's
Heidi's Tower of Flame
more knights to fight.
My favourite times are being summoned into a game to help someone who is facing an invader. I think I may join the Blue Sentinels eventually so that it happens w/o having to write my sigil down. There's a certain sense of satisfaction in helping someone banish one of those red invaders!
Dumb question: how do I equip torches? I dont see em anywhere on the menus
They're not equipped, you just have them in your possession and then light them at bonfires or sconces.
Eh, unless you're in the Bell Keepers, I wouldn't worry about it.

I immediately enrolled in the covenant, but never got summoned! I guess I'll join the sunbros instead.

Go to bonfire. Triangle or Y to toggle. Torch lighting action will come up.

But how do I select to light them? Is it an option available on the bonfire? I dont see anything like that.

This but only if you have torches, you pick them up randomly through the game and in your equip screen right below the ring section it tells you how much time you have for the torches to burn.

I love Pokken!
Drop locations are pretty random sometimes in this game, maybe because of the respawn limit.

PRAISE THE SUN! Finally beat the Smelter Demon!
I've been sunbroing the fight for the last few hours helping others beat him, but I couldn't seem to crack him in my own world.
I know his patterns so well now that I could probably solo the fight without healing. It's just a matter of dodging to the left of the first swing in his combo, right of his thrust and backing away from is AoE attack.
Good luck to those yet to beat him.

Yeah it should be a toggle at a bonfire. On PS3, you press Triangle to switch from "Rest at Bonfine" to "Light Torch."
Yeah, the spiders seem to drop so many kinds of weapons. I've gotten at least 2 others than the ones you mentioned.

Just saw that this sold around 260,000 copies in Japan in its first week. I bet North America will be at least double that. Have Namco released any PR about its sales yet?
I'm a sunbro right now as well. I think you have to be wearing the Blue Sentinel ring all the time to qualify for summoning. That's a drawback, I guess, as I have 4 useful rings being used right now.
Yes you can but there is also a ring you can get that
keeps you at 75% of total health when hollowed. You can find it to the right of the drawbridge outside the citadel of blue. Ring of Binding
Oh duh, now I see it, thanks!
Only just now reached I

Edit: Speaking of this area (ish), why is it when I
Sup with that?

eep and attained the ability to infuse weapons. I was thinking of using magic on the Uchigatana I just bought, but I don't really understand what effect it has. It shows no stat changes whatsoever, except for the str/dex scaling getting worse? Uh...
Edit: Speaking of this area (ish), why is it when I
travel back to Lost Bastille I can summon help? I did it for a laugh earlier assuming the Ruin Sentinels fucking respawn, jumped through the mist, and my two guys just disappeared.

Not sure if I'd call it nonsense, but I don't like that design decision at all. Regaining humanity was a huge incentive helping other players out with bosses in the previous games. Wasn't beating bosses the only way to go back to being human in Demon's Souls? It's been a while...
It also sucks, because if human effigies are the only way to go back to being human, it puts a finite limit on the number of times you can go back to being human.
I may just not know of other ways to regain humanity, so correct me if I'm wrong.
There's a late-ish game thing where you can
turn human for free, so long as you don't have any effigies at all in your inventory or storage box.

My problem is that about 90% of the pre release streams I watched were all taking place in that area, so to me it's just like, "Again? Really? Ugh." Suppose that's what I get for looking ahead.

Get you a bow, son. I didn't die once through that area, just go real slow and pick off the mages from a distance.
Did you summon shades or phantoms? Shade summoning signs still show up after the boss is dead, and they're sent home if you re-enter the boss area. Phantom signs aren't supposed to keep showing up, but there've been a few times I've seen some lying around in areas I've already cleared, so it seems like it glitches out on occasion.

How does respeccing with the Soul Vessel work? You just get a massive dump of souls to re-allocate?

Both phantoms. Gray fog appeared and everything.
Basically. A bow makes Shrine cake. not to mention the bonfires every 100 feet.

I've been wondering this too. Do you respec every level? Or just soul levels you gained since your starting class?

Someone answered #2, but anyone know about #1?
Also, another question. Is there any vendor that sells unlimited ranged projectiles?

There is an NPC to summon after the second bonfire, directly on one of the stone paths. She is a fucking BEAST tank.
There are grave stones in majula for dead crucial NPC's so you can still talk to them I believe.

What is the consensus on this game? Better or worse than Dark Souls 1 overall? (I don't have it yet)
For some it's the same, for some it's worse. I like it the same, having played Dark Souls 1 for 90+ hours. Maybe even a bit more. There's probably twice as many bosses in DS2 as DS1. The amount of content and areas is massive. The graphical changes that people are throwing a fit about detract from my enjoyment of the game at a level roughly equal to 0.
So, found a pretty cool bow in No-Man's Wharf.
A pirate dropped the Sea Bow, which scales with strength. Upgraded a bit and it's not bad, especially for a STR build that only occasionally needs a bow. Something like 80-100 damage with cheap-ass wood arrows. I've never seen anyone else mention this bow.
Wow, I can't believe I missed the path to Huntsman's Copse and other areas this whole time. The way you "unlock" that path is kind of stupid imo. I'm way too strong for these areas, but it feels nice to shred through enemies and destroy bosses
on the first try.

I used it for a while since it has a greater range but since I'm a dex user it wasn't the best fit for me.
I just got ganged up on by two guys in the
Bell Tower
Soul Greatsword can be obtained if you have a branch of yore. Most of the best spells are either found or in the latter half of the game.

I've noticed that katana in this game is utter garbage compared to other str weapons, since they nerfed the hell out of katana's speed. The greatsword has about same swing time as katana and it has longer reach.
I prefer halberd over katana in this game. So much better and the range is just amazing. Plus BKH scales with dex, so superior compared to katanas.

Did the exact same thing. I think I was like 85-90 before I got there.
I feel that bowing should be reserved for duels. If I get invaded I'm probably going to bum rush the dude. If I'm the one doing the invasion I'm definitely hunting the guy down.

I love Pokken!
So it wasn't just my imagination.
