Cant that be said about Dark Souls 2 as well, that you can see every area that should be able to see?
Just wondering, what exactly doesnt make sense about that part? I agree that they could maybe had
illuminated the sky a bit red around the windmill
Iron Keep is a castle that was built using iron that was mined in the mountains around there. But the castle was too heavy, so it sank into the ground, causing lava erruption. You can definitelly see mountains when you're in Harvest Valley.

Wow, some of the areas in the final-ish act are really gorgeous. In particular the top of

Dodge backwards after they land on the ground.
I'm not sure what you are asking? There are
3 trees you can activate. One next to the first turtle you encounter. A second after the pursuer. The third after the Kings door. Which one do you have problems getting to?
I think you need to be in the bell covenant. Playing offline would probably be a good idea too. I just kept resting at the bonfire and checking to see if he was there. Never got any drops before I got bored though.

Man the Gutter just fucking sucks. It really does. It's so poorly designed, it looks like shit too.
Which one progress the story?
haha, yeah, but I can't think of one gutter that doesn't look like shit, though...
Hey sorry, but you have to stop playing recklessly. I'm not the only one giving you tips about the Gutter. Read Teasing_Pink's post. The poison statues only fuck you up if you run straight into them. Take your time and kill them one by one.
Kings door
Has anyone solo'd the gargoyles as a melee character? I don't see how its possible because as soon as you have one of em lined up for an attack you got 3 more that beat the shit out of you from behind and sideways. My poor summoned ally died within seconds after stepping out the mist door
I beat them solo with a straight sword and greatshield combo on the first try. Its just being aggressive when you have the chance and turtling like crazy when you're cornered. Use your foot work to make sure you're never getting attacked from two sides.
I can't seem to find it in FoTFG, or is it somewhere else?

lol if you raging with those fuckers now tell me how ya feel when you encounter their
upgraded version that can one shot ya
Wait til you reach the next area after it.
The black gulch is fucking great for farming short and easy, i got 50000 souls in half an hour, thinking of using the ascetic but i'm curious once ya use the ascetic do enemies still have a respawn counter?
Wait til you reach the next area after it.
Honestly, I would say the same thing about that area aswell. It's not hard at all if you take your time and kill every
statue and worm one by one. The game has way worse enemies that gang on you imho. In here you can atleast controll the spawn rate.
Second bonfire, down the ladder, cross the bridge

(I dont remember the name right now, sorry, but its a bigger shield that has a picture of a sun on it. I upgraded it to +5 or something).

Approach it carefully, use your torch and light all the torches you see. The Gutter is actually my favorite area so far in terms of ambiance. Everything in there is slow, too, so just take your time and all the enemies are pretty easy. My first attempt at that place I made it to the fog-door at the top of the tower no problem.
I helped out a few people in there and noticed most of their torches weren't lit. In that area that just seems crazy.
Well: you need to get a key in Black Gulch. Second bonfire, hug the left cliff. After about 5-10 seconds you can drop down - you should see some signs. Drop down again and kill those 2 giants and get the key.
Shrine is actually pretty cool and sucks to get spoiled ;p. You need to be hollow and have no humanity in your inv. Behind it is a shrine to make you human. You can figure it out by reading the key iirc.

Definitely agree. Based on that promo, I had assumed
the dragons would have played a bigger role in the game. I'm not sure about their story implications yet. I think the Maiden has something to do with them, but I'm not quite sure what just yet.

Finally beat the game. Another
ending but it's probably because
Now to learn all spells for dat platinum!
:S
I don't know about the lore as much yet.
Now to learn all spells for dat platinum!
He popped up for me pretty often, though I never got the Berserker Blade from him (may have to use an Ascetic). I don't think there's any trick, but just go back to the bonfire and try again if you don't see him.
Only problem is that the AoE does 2 ticks followed by the dragon landing on your head. So unless you respecc into a shitload of stamina you'll still die. And even then I would rather use Havel's shield because it draws less stamina.
Trying to tank the fire is just set up to fail imho. At some point you slightly look into the wrong way and die.

Just my experience. Everybody plays different but I couldn't get it to work this way.

So I'm in B
G
and I've heard there's a hidden bonfire before the boss. Anyone know where it is?

ulch
Bear with me here, still pretty confused.
Down the ladder next to the second bonfire, or is it outside the castle. Which i need to fall down and fight a bunch of undead. Also, which bridge?
Sorry, my idiocity is reaching it's max today. >.>

I'm hoping the PC version will allow you to bring up steam by pressing the home button now that GFWL is gone.
edit:forget that part. Mixxed something up, sorry
.Nothing. He asks you to kill other people(which you don't have to, you can buy their items aswell) and then get a reward.
Frustration ahead
Hey, might be me aswell. 
The bonfire where you meet the merchant for the first time. Take the ladder in that room as if you go to the pursuer. Instead you cross the small bridge in that room to the other side. From there you can't miss it.

Hope you have plenty of arrows.
I do agree that it is "hauntingly beautiful" though.Also, watch your step...
Try not to break the game.
Whaaaaat.
Should i totally regret this decision? Or would it have gotten me some totally rad stuff
I was okay with
The Gutter
keeping a torch in one hand. There wasn't enough of that in the game. I have 2:30 hours left on my torch with nothing to really use it on.

I would have regretted it.
You get some rewards from him for each person you "kill". Note: you don't have to kill any of them to get the items he wants.
Oh yeah I get that. It worked perfectly for me and I beat him on my second try (my shield wasn't upgraded enough on my first try to resist the 2 ticks). I always made sure to be in front of him when he attacked to be on the safe side. It made the fight incredibly simple.

At least TBG is short as hell and had a boss-adjacent bonfire.
I hear ya dude....I got through the area a couple times now, even killed the huge ant queen and made it through one fog door...but died and now I hardly recall how to get back. I inched forward like the advice says, but it takes me a long time, then one wrong move and its back to the drawing board. They purposely made the area difficult to find a path in....I'll do it...later.
As for dogs, they can be poisoned with darts or arrows, they can be kited and they move slow, so keep throwing knives, bombs whatever. I think a shied a spear would work well. Hide behind shield r1 with spear or rapier. Any halberd type weapon with an overhead tomahawk swing like the Old Knight Pike has good reach and will prevent him from hitting you with his swings. I did the first dog near the bonfire so many times he disappeared now! That's another strategy!
