(Late late game) In one of the Gia
nt memories, I killed Drummond. Should I have not done that or is it irrelevant?

I wasn't invaded for a long time, but now it happens semi frequently in later game and especially revisiting earlier areas more leveled.
Yeah, this is my real problem with it. Every single time I've been summoned in Doors of Pharros it's by some loser spamming magic/arrows at me from a cliff the second I spawn in their world.
Just lame.

I've managed to kill all but one rat man summoning me. But yes, that does seem to be what they do.

No clue. I was invading as a blue sentinel from the Dragon area...got bonked all the way back to the Wharf. The summoning portion is fucked atm--which figures.
Also love killing bosses in co-op and then doing the channeler's trident dance
I think we can all agree that is truly the greatest of all Souls gestures. Step aside, Praise the Sun.
I always loved that little dance my self haha
I've been doing this as well, and it's been working wonders for me using a UGS

Kinda stuck at the moment. From what I can tell, the only way for me to progress is to
. I know this probably isn't right, but I really can't think of where else I need to go.
Here's a list of bosses I've already defeated. I don't need a detailed answer of what I have to do because I want to avoid taking too much help, so please just give me a yes or no thanks!
buy the ring that will allow me to survive long falls and head into the well in Majula

Definitely one of the gnarliest monster designs I've seen. So brilliantly fucked up.
Not sure. The requirement should only be
one million souls

I'm actually not sure if that also plays a role. :/
I've been doing exclusively invasions with somewhere around 60 wins, but I think I'm also around 20 or so losses. Still haven't gotten Rank 1.

What are people's thoughts on the twinblade? Worth investing in and using?
I think they look incredibly awesome. Will end up doing a run with one

I like the animations and look of the weapons, but they don't seem very useful.
Man, I suck at PvP in that 2nd Belfry tower. So large, so my magic do well when people can easily dodge in any direction. Went back to 1st Belfry and had better luck. Killed a guy with like 1 or 2 hits with my Flame Swathe.
During that little experiment with me getting destroyed, decided to redo my outfit. Mainly the legs, as I already +10 the chest piece (since it was cheap to do so). Now wearing normal pants that give me decent protection. Hood still very weak, but gives me +3 int, so likely keep it on. Going to start increasing my weight limit again, so I can stay fast and be more protected.
Apparently there is "Immolation" in Belfry Sol.. Oh boy. Will have to try to get that tomorrow. Assuming I don't go offline for that.

Stronger than the Uchigatana slightly when maxed and at 40 DEX, but I personally like the Uchigatana's moveset better.
I personally roll with Berserker Blade though, second strongest katana besides the Chaos Blade.

Yep, I've used it. It's a solid weapon, gets to an S in scaling (I believe). I just didn't enjoy the R2 move (it's a backup, pull from the sheath and slash motion) so I stuck with my Uchigatana and Manslayer.
It's cool as hell, but the dmg is weak but the multiple hits makes up for it--but it also means you have to connect with all those hits..it also seems like it's only useful for 2-handing. I dicked around with it for a while and the durability drained quickly since it hits the floor/walls so much.
He died twice in his attempts...
It does low base damage, but I'm just starting to get into PvP and am putting together some ideas about how to make it useful...
The 2-Handed attacks are very rapid.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
I haven't used the twinblade that much but it does multiple hits per swing right? I imagine it being deadly in pvp if you infuse it with poison or bleed. Otherwise, I don't think it's too useful for pve.

Well, he gave me one when I showed up, then upon his departure as well.

Bell protector covenant is starting to ramp up for me.
It needs more blood bros invading. DS1 you had the infinite red orb to invade people af all times at will. Not anymore now.
Also problem is red cracked orbs can only be obtained through pick ups or covenant duels. They are almost non existent.
Also police covenant only works when your in an area of someone of the same covenant with the rimg on.
So, what we have is a ying and yang covenant set up that can't work because stipulations are jacked.

I hope From has a plan... they had to know something like this was coming since it was so prevalent on DS1. Soul Memory be damned.
+10 Mundane on your Twinblade.
Make sure all your stats even out, EXCEPT for one stat.
So like EVERYTHING is at 25, except for one stat ie: lowest stat at 24 or some crap.
You will hit like Havel but faster...+210 extra dmg yo.
I disagree, there's almost no shortage. Unlike the sentinels there's no entry fee for BHOB duels. I have 99 cracked reds in the bank, about 99 in the invo, and few hundred dropped on the ground in front of the duel statue that I'm using to keep track of wins for covenant leveling. This is going to sound really condescending and I don't mean it to be, but chances are if you can't win a duel to get a cracked red orb you probably won't be able to successfully kill a host during an invasion either.

finally beat the ancient dragon, its easier if your in front of it at all times and be by yourself
Any tips on how to do this? I'm using the Moonlight Greatsword.
each Giant Soul you have halves his defense, each one of the four big souls counts towards how much damage you do to him with all four you do 100% damage 3 75% and so on (This may not be true, but there you have it). Collect all 5 giant souls and have all 4 boss souls and he isn't too hard to fight, as long as you don't get hit
There is no price to fight. I agree thats nice, but before I could easily buy red orbs and save the time of duel arenas. That was always the best part of the covenant back then, Was invading people on their own turf. Nothing wrong with arena if you like it but the fun of invading people was just that. The invasion. The unexpectedness of it all and being ready for pvp on the fly.
I've been invaded by people maybe twice? And another one was we inviting them in via red soap stone. Its a jacked system right now, but if I'm right DS1 was rough out the gate with pvp too so maybe it will fix it self
Llewellyn chest armor has to be the best-looking in the game. Smexy.
One of my favorite weapons in the game. I've been using it ever since I got it. It scales with DEX at S once upgraded, on top of its solid base damage, and has a nice moveset and good all-around range.
Lately I've been power-stancing both Berserker Blade +5 (also a katana) with Blacksteel Katana +10 and it's been working very nicely. Hard to beat the badass factor (especially while also wearing Llewellyn armor), and you output significant damage, especially with the various resins (which are happily far more useful than in Dark Souls 1, and the gold pine resin can now be purchased infinitely).

Is there a level range for people being able to summon you for a boss fight?
I've been poisoning the Smelter Demon. I can get his HP to half with only a few hits because of it. It's pretty much my only option because as soon as he
gets his fire whip he wrecks me

What's up with the wheelchair guy? By his text I thought I need be hollow, but when I came back hollow he was gone.
I've finished off most of them trying to get that drop but it hasn't happened yet. I guess you have to get lucky.
I found poison to be hugely effective against Smelter. Coated my Blacksteel Katana with rotten pine resin and by the end of the fight he died to the poison itself.

Hmmm...
I killed the four old ones, but the doors aren't opening for me at the two locations I know of.
Did I screw myself by making weapons out of their souls before opening the doors?

Need my the rock armor.
Make sure you're wearing item discovery boosting gear, like the Traveling Merchant Hat and Gold Covetous Ring.
If you
spend enough money on that merchant at the start of Iron Keep, he gives you a Gold Covetous Serpent Ring +1 for free
Also try using a rusted coin for that extra edge. I have three Blacksteel Katanas, so they're not hugely uncommon.
