From what I hear hexes are just as overpowered in this game as dark magic was in the last, so yes it'll probably pay off.

Old
boss:
What a terrible boss. He one of my least favorite Souls boss, only surpassed by Bed of Chaos.
Super telegraphed moves, incredibly slow, and doesn't do enough damage on any of his attack to put pressure on you. What a disappointment since the prior areas in this path had some pretty fun bosses.

Hex builds require bringing both up. 30/30 is definitely viable, but I'm not sure about 40/40 since you also need to be dumping some levels into attunement (most hexes take up two slots).

Worth going back for, he
gives you his helmet and now that you've killed his body he'll sell you his sword and shield too. Also a ring of life protect (but this one is very expensive to repair).

When I saw the area I was already expecting a
Dragon God-like
I found most of the boss-fights to be pretty bland. They do change things up in NG+ though, so atleast that's something.
voice chat or silly voice clips like HELLO and VERY GOOD?
the latter are items you can get from a merchant in iron keep.

Could you elaborate on that? I'm also interested.

The merchant at the beginning of
Iron Keep
Someone asked earlier: I've been putting a good deal of levels into ADP, I'm in the mid 20s right now and I haven't reached a softcap yet. ADP along with END determines poise so I've been bringing them up equally.
It's hard to say exactly all it does, but with poise (abuse) I'm pretty unstoppable in mob situations. And looking at other's videos, I swear I drink Estus faster, open chests faster, etc. The biggest change I think though is any time I gen stunlocked I recover very fast. That used to be super scary, now no longer.

Some pro tips for the three statues at once in the Bastille ? The cleric gets killed (I only have a 85PHY shield so tanking is hard), the guys that I can summon die quickly too.

At the 2nd bonfire, there's three paths to go down. Go down the path where you
refought the boss from No Man's Warf

The latter. And thanks guy's. I'm here co=oping so I'll pick some up.
I see, thanks. I guess I'll dig a bit on the wiki for spell requirements and decide. I totally ignored magic in my first playthrough on purpose, I need to catch up on the changes.

I have definitely found that to be the case as well. Having high poise helps keep me from getting stun locked, as well as letting me shrug off attackers. I've slain more that one enemy player thanks to my poise.

The response the game is getting in here is pretty soul-crushing. I feel a bit alone in my corner lol. Just reading some comments is really, really bringing me down, so I think I'll have to avoid this thread from now on.
Still my favorite Souls experience by a wide margin.

As long as you like it, that's all that matters right? I never let other people's thoughts on Rogue Galaxy or FFXII get in the way of my passion for those games.

I assume you mean the
Ruin Sentinels?
I find that it helps to summon a player and the NPC to help you. Take down the first one before leaving the ledge, then jump down to duke it out with the other two. If someone distracts one while you whittle the other down, it can be a fairly simple fight. Once you get it down to one enemy the fight is pretty much over, as long as you don't take to many risks.
didn't notice the title change until just now. Seriously everyone has that stupid hat on.
I'm in full Velstadt cosplay (minus the weapon) because I love the look of it, even if it's pretty heavy. Oddly enough I've had better luck with the 60-70% roll in PVP than with the sub-30% roll distance. I use the large club or dual regular clubs, and I find a shorter roll helps me counterattack faster.

Does anyone know if the likelihood of being summoned in an area decreases depending on the number of times you have been summoned previously or the number of times beating the area boss? I have farmed medals in
to be able to get
for about ten hours at this point. The summons have been rare all along, so I think I am a bit overlevelled (sl 76), but the end portion has been especially slow. The last two hours yesterday I got zero summons and now I have played for an additional hour without being summoned. This is incredibly frustrating, because I already have 18 of the 20 required medals and want to move on with the game. Should I move on to other areas?
Lost Bastille
the sun sword
I think most people like it plenty. Those who don't are going to be the most vocal. I have my minor gripes here and there but I am having an absolute blast at 53 hours in and I'm not even done with my first NG yet.

I'm thinking about respeccing. Anyone have any cool templates for Faith/Dex?
That was actually what I was going for pre-release but actually went for 20/40 str/dex build. Had to dump a lot for VGR/VIT/END/ADP in beginning since I started as Deprived so I didn't have a lot of points for attunement.

Okay, is there any reason that forces you into Belfry Luna? I've gone back there multiple times and I am just getting motherfucking destroyed by invaders 5 steps in every single time. I'm over level 100, and handle everything else in the game just fine, but even when I join the bell convenant I get invaded by 2 people literally non fucking stop, I haven't even been able to make it past the second floor. What is this bullshit.
I've been following both threads since the beginning and I'd say that the negative-positive ratio of reactions is pretty equal. There are a lot of people who say they really like it, but what I've noticed is that the ones who feel negatively write longer posts. That's just how it goes on gaf, I think.
Anyway, I'm really enjoying the game, and I think most people are just playin now and not caring about reactions anymore. It's a good game, so get playing.

People will always have different opinions. Personally, I think it's my favorite souls game. They basically took all the good from both Demon's and Dark and put it into the game. There are very few things I can complain about.
You're very overleveled for that area, and your soul memory is probably much higher than everyone else doing that boss right now. Are you actually in sunbros yet? Because the boss in the area after the covenant statue thing should still give you summons. Or beat that boss, move on, and the first boss of iron keep should be fine well into SL120.
If Bastille is the low point, then I'm in for a treat for the rest of the game. I liked Bastille a lot.
Hiede's Tower of Fire on the other hand? Pretty, but uninteresting.

Ha thanks for the motivation, changed up my style and actually ended up liking my character more.
There's a 1.02 patch? How do you download it? My game still says version 1.01 and I've closed the game, reloaded and it says 'no new information.'

Heidi's Tower is a pretty short area.

If you see the door shade up right when you enter you can make it to the top of the place killing things and ring the bell before they spawn if you are quick enough. Once you ring the bell the gate will open and that makes it even easier, since passing though that fog gate cancels any invasions even if the boss is already dead.

I love Pokken!
That's been my biggest issue with it. Ruining my sleep schedule!
I helped 25 or 30 people at Iron Keep last night. Anything bad I said about the game before, I take it back. Unbelievably fun.
So many people died in dumb ways:
Some people are organized and make a quick rush to the Smelter Demon. Some people obviously never played the level before but are scared (you can tell because the first set of doors aren't even open). And one dude just wanted help getting to through to the Old Iron King, that was one of the most fun runs (and longest).
So many people died in dumb ways:
opening the blast doors, rushing Smelter when he does his big blast AOE, getting destroyed by the big arrows.
The displeased are almost always more vocal, in lots of places and scenarios.I've been following both threads since the beginning and I'd say that the negative-positive ratio of reactions is pretty equal.

I'm really happy with how this game turned out! There are some things I would change (
I think the decision to have enemies stop respawning is a terrible choice, basically making it easy mode if you keep dying to a boss. Levels feel kind of disconnected, level pacing feels really mixed and unstructured

Listen to this man. I farmed the slug right after getting into the sumbro covenant all the way to 30 just by dropping my sign right outside the previous bonefire. Was sl 103 or something too and got enough souls to go all the way over 120 after that. Now I don't know what to do with those souls. Pump my dex to 40 and use the sun sword, or just keep using the greatsword ive been using and get more hp.

Ahhh, thanks. It seems likely that overlevelling has caused this, but it is weird that the summon rate has changed so much over this farming period (from semi-frequent to nothing in hours). Yes, I am in sunbros and have been wearing the covenant ring and received the medals thusfar. Will try to continue farm in

Yeah, helping people in that area is probably my favorite co-op area so far, even if I had way more failures than successes. One of the best designed areas in the game so far I think.
Sorry for the bump but this thread moves so fast. Can anyone help with this?
