Is there a limited number of fireseeds per play-through? If so, is it a plentiful number, or no?

More than enough for upgrading 1 glove to +10.
That big frog looking boss? Pretty sure there is another exit to take to reach a new area.

The good ol' 1 more hit to kill a boss and then the boss kills you trick, eh Dark Souls. Very funny. VERY FUNNY MUTHA FUCKER!!

I suppose. But the fact that I'm playin a dual wielding character means I'm usually right up in the thick of things against the bosses. It's one thing to be a sorcerer and summon meat shields while you hang back and spell them. It's another thing when you're the meat shield. And as somebody else said, if somebody you summon fucks up, you've got a harder boss to deal with.
Co-oping bosses is one of the highlights o the Souls games to me. I can see why some people would choose to solo the first time through but the Souls community is amazing and the camaraderie and fun of co-op is one of the best parts of the experience for me.

Turns out I am blind. Picking up my cane and sunglasses in the morning.
Yeah,I've heard a lot of funny coop stories so I have no doubt it can be pretty awesome. But the boss AI is pretty terrible overall with multiple targets. The few times I've summoned NPCs with my second character out of curiosity its ruined fights altogether. I beat the no mans wharf boss without him ever even taking a swing at me. I just stood beside him mashing attack.

Just got to the (mid/late game location?)
Ended up standing still at the start for a few minutes, and turned around with a "Nope!" shortly after, before steeling my nerve and heading in. Silent Hill and DaS' Tomb of Giants are the only other games that have elicited that reaction out of me. Such a well done little area, especially after the incredibly lame and linear rest of the

It got taken out, along with the archery style first person aiming. From hasn't said why as far as I know. It's a shame, the magic system could really use some added complexity.

Even if I accidentally used 4 seeds on the wrong glove because I'm a nonce?
Thanks, dude.

Can you expound upon this?
Ok good, I assumed as much, but wasn't sure. I'm trying to roll a strong sorcerer with the MLG (once I get it), but may change to a STR/FAI build (or just build a new character as I think I'll be playing this game for quite a while). Playing this game makes me happy I'm a teacher...I have a whole summer to sink my teeth into it.
So I've started using my ascetics on
because it only has like 6 mobs in total, 3 of which don't respawn and the rest don't even do damage. And then I get aaaallll the crystal lizards.
Sure beats cranking up the difficulty of a certain horrible area which isn't even guaranteed to give me drops.
Question though - is there a limit to how 'intense' bonfires can get? Can I just drop like 30 ascetics on this place and never have to worry about farming crafting materials ever again?

I'm pretty good at fighting dragons.
I just took a gander at my first character and I'm sitting on 4 seeds on top of having a maxed-out glove, so you should be fine. I'm sure I didn't find all of them, so you've probably got some wiggle room to boot.

I don't understand this one. I was summoned as a phantom and when he went in, the thing attacked (and killed me in one hit when I entered), yet when I got there he was just chillin and chatted with me. Is it because the summoner went aggro on him? If so, what do you get for killing him? (optional?)
Feel like I just got to the hardest boss in the soul series. I feel like I won't be able to kill it at all without a summon (but I believe you can't summon anyone for it anyway).
It's one of the optional bosses (can't really preface it much other than that otherwise it would spoil how to get to it and such):

Darkruler, guuuuuh. Thought I had it in the bag and then it split in half and I said fuck this shit. I wouldn't mind so much but I have to burn an effigy every time and get through some tough as dark spirits to boot. Really wish I could summon for it.

There's an ore merchant in Harvest Valley that sells them for 1,000 souls each, I believe. I think there may be other merchants that have them, too. Otherwise they're just found as treasures and drops.
They throw so many more souls at you in this game compared to DS1, I'm at like level 120 and I've barely noticed it, in DS1 120 was a good accomplishment.

I just hit 100 today, and I've still got a good portion of the game left.

It's not that they throw more souls at you, it's just that leveling up costs a shitload less than in Dark Souls 1. At level 120 in DS you'd need more than 90k souls to level up whereas in DS2 you just need about 20k.

Yea I figured that out but is there any way to combat it?
I think it's more that leveling is much cheaper. I'm at level 118 and I think I only need like 20K or even less to level up again.
There were morons summoning me and dying before I actually went to their world.
I usually assume when that happens that they were being invaded and were hitting every summon sign they saw in desperation, but ended up losing the fight before I loaded in. Same for when I get summoned and the host is already through the fog fighting the boss. I usually figure they were fleeing from the invader and nabbed a sign before going through the fog to send their uninvited guest home.
Maybe I'm being excessively charitable, though.

Random question, without spoiling anything, do you at some point fight the guys with the really cool masks from the original DS2 announcement trailer back in 2012? Because I really want that mask as my armor regardless of how shitty it may be.

Not sure. I tried a bit and got ganked, so I just went on through.
