Ok, questions about how to get these items, because it's been a while and I still can't manage to get them.
In Lost Bastille,
In Earthen Peak,
In Lost Bastille,
how do I get the item on the corpse hanging on the wall above McDuff's workshop?
In Earthen Peak,
there's a platform with an item next to a pyromancer/sorceress gaurding it. Is it possible to jump roll over there? Because I've tried multiple times. There's also one like this at the bottom of the well in Majula, I can't seem to make the jumps.

I'd skimmed over the description for the
Black Pyromancy Glove
that scales with your hollowness
You have to jump it, hug the left side as there's a little bit of extra ground you can land/jump on.
Just beat the E
boss
. At first I was like...holy shit, this is gonna be a tough ride. But then I rememebered about the
, and it made the boss more manageable. Still, I enjoyed this fight, and I think the music for this battle was awesome. It reminded me of the plant boss music from Super Metroid. Great track.

holy shit it's Havel! Hahaha. Him and I think Ricard (some dude with a rapier) ganked me. 
Ah alright thanks. I tried that but I guess I still didn't do it well enough, screw these jumps man.

Theres a sword that looks like this?
Its silly to say a large greatsword with a sharp end is suddenly from Berserk becuase its a common design. In fact the only thing that makes Gut's sword differentiable is its colouring. Whats more telling is its story.
Its a very similar story to DBS in Demons Souls, created to break the bones of dragons, a blacksmith working in an far away and remote place, the blade being thick and not sharp (almost blunt) is also mentioned iirc.

So the numbers are false unless you are actually hollow?? It doesn't seem that way, I maxed mine.

Can you tell me where I can get it?
So, I screwed up major tonight.
I had the Smelter Demon dead to rights, one hit left. Ran in and got one hit KO'd. NOw, I'm farming for Effigy, and got killed. Lost the 22,000+ Souls that were in the room with Smelter ass-face.
If people are concerned about souls they really should co-op more often (that is, being summoned into someone else's game). The boss at the end of
Iron Keep
a smooth and silky stone every time you kill a boss, which you can trade for decent stuff, including the possibility for a Twinkling Titanite.
So I've been helping people with a certain boss, and this one guy summons me, gives me the no way gesture, disconnects and then sends me a message with nothing but "n00b" in it...
Been encountering more kids now that the Souls series is getting more popular lol
Also, the forward+R2 jump attack works wonders in laggy pvp matches.

NG item only. So you need to burn a bonfire ascetic in the Black Gulch to get the Old One soul from the Rotten.
It has that solid triangular sword design, solid/outlined black/grayish color of the Dragonslayer.
Greatsword looks better imo.

Have a look at it in your equipment screen, dude. Next to its attack rating (220 or so), I had quite a sizeable red '-180' or so. After dying a few times and staying hollow, the negative scaling decreased. So, basically, how hollow you are is proportionate to the extent it draws on its full power... I think.
Can anyone confirm this?
Wow, seriously? That's actually a little upsetting... Haha
One thing I love about the Soul series is the sense of camaraderie and eagerness to help one another. I always made it a habit to send a message and thank whoever helped me, it was great and gave me a sense of sharing the suffering with a stranger. But whatever, try to invade the bastard and smash him, thats all you can do I guess

Not really just that. They are also weak against
sorcery, which is why the phantom NPC is a Mage that wrecks them

Yikes I dont think I can accomplish that right now. Thank you.
FINALLY BEAT THE BASTARD.
Lol, I hear ya. I'm just like, "...Ahhh!!" over here.
Oooh, ok. I'm about to try and beat him myself. Then I'll be all over that.

Well I found a fun build to PvP with. I have the Spotted Whip in one hand and the Darkdrift (invisible Katana) in the other. The whip is for laughs but it does build up poison and when they least expect it, I use the charging lung from the Katana and get a sweet poke.
No one takes me seriously cuz of the whip and then BAM secret katana in your face!

I actually died to a whip user the other day. I see him with a whip, he hits me with it ...does no damage. So I laugh and just stand there letting him hit me, and I'm not noticing the poison bar slowly climb. Once I realized i was poisoned it was too late.
Think I had some drop off the dwarf guys in pharros.. but I wear full merchant gear too...
I got a ton of hate mail in Demons and Dark souls but I have not received a single message yet in dark souls 2 even though I am probably pissing a lot of people off. Maybe if I do more of the belfry luna invading I will get some messages.
Wow didnt realise there was a boss in Pharros.
Will have to go back there tonight then.
I killed one ugly rat along with a red phantom with dual crossbows and a mastadon all in a big watery area. but completely forgot to carry on advancing that way and wentstraight up the stairs.
Yay for more bosses.

yeah it took me a while but I beat him. Tried summoning but that really just messed with my flow. Just be patient, have a 100% shield up and roll like there's free sex coupons down the hill.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I think I'm about halfway, if the total boss count is to be believed. So far there's a lot I like more than Dark Souls, and I'm really super happy with a lot of the changes they've made.
I'm a bit torn on the general aimlessness and more abstract open world this time around though. Much more so than Dark Souls your objective is whimsical, undefined, and the game as a whole more relaxed on where you go and what you do. Delving into the unknown and straying off the path, wondering if you're going the right way, is essential for these kinds of games. But I felt Dark Souls most of the time did a pretty fantastic job of gently guiding you in the "right" direction either by having overly powerful bosses and enemies imply you're in a later game area, the main quest separated into three "acts" of objectives so you had an idea of what you should be doing, and some doors/paths blocked off until you got the right key/trinket/person to open the way. You had plenty of breathing room and were encouraged to explore, but always found yourself naturally on the right path getting shit done.
Comparatively Dark Souls II seems as aimless as you can get. "Get big souls", that's it, and this objective lasts through a major chunk of the game as you eat through boss after boss wondering where you should be going or if you're heading in the right direction. Or if there even is a "right" direction, which there doesn't appear to be. While this seems to be the intention, almost totally disregarding narrative or objectives in favour of a sandbox-like open world of boss hunting with the freedom to kill in any order you want, I'm finding this aimlessness to result in weird difficulty skewering. Like it's super easy to feel the game is following a natural difficulty curve as you eat up bosses in one area, then you realise you missed another area and most of the stuff there is super weak, bosses in particular not all that challenging. Or then a super hard boss is thrown in the mix, and you're not sure if it's necessary to move forward or option or what.
I guess this is maybe the point, the bonfire teleporting encouraging you to do a lot of jumping around, but structurally I'm not sure I like the difficult curve and world pacing as much as Dark Souls, even if I might be enjoying the game as a whole more.

There's something you can get later that you can use to change something in that fight and make it easier.

I love Pokken!
Just discovered something really cool. You don't need
the 4 Great Souls to go to Drangleic Castle, only 3 of them.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
What happens then?
Soceries got pretty nerfed in DS2. You can still be really powerful but you only really feel it later in the game. You get the best staff like somewhat near the end of the game and some spells (like soul spear and homing soulmass) have been pretty nerfed. Still spells like Vortex (one of my favorite sorceries) and maybe Soul greatsword are pretty cool. Once you get the best staff for int users though, you'll start kicking more ass with magic.

I love Pokken!
The Emerald Herald will tell you that
you aren't strong enough, but if you wish to proceed you can do it so.
Not even
three.
I went to that location and messed around only having had
the Lost Sinner and Iron King souls.
The
Maiden gets annoyed and tell you you're not ready yet, but beyond that, I'm not sure much is different. You're still able to progress through despite her misgivings.

I love Pokken!
The devs weren't kidding when they said you could skip to the latter half of the game if you are brave enough
You mean the
Bastille Key to open up where the torches are?
Already done that, still seems too hard. Maybe I just need to man up. Killed Artorias at SL1 in DS1 after all. Probably just going soft.
Yeh, I felt that this boss was quite a bit easier than Artorias. All you need is a good shield and medium rolling. You can roll past most of her hits pretty easily.
EDIT: Dang, I keep calling it a he, when it's a she, ha ha.
