Speaking of that area -
why does the opening cutscene show that area and call it Castle Drangleic?

Also can I just say (location spoiler): B
Also apparently there's a second bonfire? Whoops.
lack Gulch is the worst fucking area in the game. I literally sprinted through it from start to finish and dove into the boss fight and took him on one on one. Cool boss but very easy.

tonight solo...a real pain in the ass that was. Now I have all the great souls and have no idea where to go next. Emerald herald said go to the castle but fuck if I know where that is. Figured I'd finally be able to access the doors that were blocked off before but I guess I'm still missing something. Not asking for help mind you, I'd like to find my own way...just saying this is the first time in the game that I'm at a loss at how to progress. Will spend all day tomorrow backtracking it seems.
Yeah, they're both going to have similar scaling so I'd suggest raising both stats. It helps to be able to have enough strength for certain great shields, too.

Was there a way to open that blocked up mine shaft looking place in the forest of the giants castle? I think there was another nearby area where all of the iron turtles were that also showed a ledge I couldn't access

I wanna know this too. I kept looking at that area and trying to figure out how to get to it.

Fuck From's rekindled obsession with acid effects.
You don't need them once you get Ring of Life Protection, which is in No Man's Wharf. Repairing it cost around 3000 souls but you keep your humanity and souls. It's a must later on.
Did you talk to the old lady from the beginning? She gives you 6 human effigies, i believe.
Edit: I believe killing them will give you around 9 or more, though i won't recommend it, obviously.
Yes and no. You have to drop them one by one but you can just keep dropping them in the same place, exit, then pick them all back up.

i been farming twinklingltitanite and P bones in
with Bonfire ascetic. Its surprisingly easy, with my melee guy, or just bring a good bow and lots of poison arrows for the
ps. No bosses here so go wild with the bonfire ascetic

Agreed. Not enjoying myself in this area at all.
Yep, worse area out of all three Souls games for me. Guy you replied to probably isn't up to there though, so he has something to look forward to.
It sure looked beautiful though.

Yup, every single time. Works about 80% of the time I guess. Sometimes I think I screwed up and he's gonna get me, and nope. Sometimes I run the same way I always run, and bam I take the hit. I sincerely don't get it.
Words cannot describe the horror....
I'm just thankful you can actually snipe with magic now with binoculars.
I always regretted not going as a sorcerer, most of the phantoms that are actually helpful are usually casting souls magic.
Nope. I completed that whole area in heavy melee gear. Was as bad as you can imagine but at the end I felt like a man.
That's the great thing about the respec items this time around. Sure, it's not as if you could ever truly be stuck with inferior stats, but the climb does get steeper and steeper, nevermind replays that allow you to take wildly different approaches without starting with a fresh character.

I did. But sniping enemies from behind cover isn't particularly my idea of what I want out of a Souls game.
i cleared that out for their armor set. the sentinels dont respawn, but the stones do.

That requires a good tank (i.e. me). I could solo bosses and grab attention so everyone else can burst them down.

I have the same problem. I know the strategy actually, it's just infuriating how apparently
running half a degree from its tail
He's honestly a poor boss, IMO (yeah I'll still say that after I beat him... and I will!). Not fun. Kalameet wasn't as hard, but he was more fun to fight. He was challenging, but he had a variety of attacks and he mixed it up, and it was just overall more dynamic and exciting. This asshole is just boring to fight.
Yeah, Kalameet was tough and frustrating, but that fucking tail aside wasn't really a badly designed boss as I recall. This guy though, he's just cheap.I have the same problem.

Respecing isn't as easy as it sounds, am already used to fighting with a huge sword (Greatsword) and then i have to find a better armor. It's just a huge hassle. Maybe i'll go in another run.
Also, i gave it up on the boss, since i couldn't see any summon signs.
For Lost Sinner on ng+ I summoned a sunbro with a gyrm's greatshield. So boss (the bro, not the boss).
Fuck.
I attempted it once, and was like F thins, I'm upgrading my bow.
I think this is a fair criticism. I also think a little pew-pew section mixes things up a bit. Bows played a larger role in Des and DS for me, and in DS2

then again, I'm hopelessly stuck at the

True, at a minimum you can't exactly respec how you used up your reinforcement materials.
And admittedly respecing's probably more useful for deciding you want to branch out a bit when you have a ton of soul levels, I only did it once but it was because I wanted to get some magic options opened up at the expense of a little STR/DEX and a lot of ADP. Not full on turn my character into a mage (although I think my point may still hold for NG+. Do it at the start, and you gather up materials and all against relatively weak enemies.)

The amount of people who don't know how to
is hilarious. Not really hinted so you can't blame them.I like helping them out though.

Didn't know either till I was summoned and the floor was magically poison free.
Even then I had to get help here. :/

I didn't know until I did coop and someone else had already done it in their world. I hadn't actually tried fighting in my own world yet.
Speaking of that area, is that Pharros lock in the nearby room a complete troll? Did I waste a key on it?

lol I am still rolling around in Leather armor to keep my equip burden at ~35%. It's not even upgraded. I'm still playing in a "dodge or die" kinda way and it has been fucking fun.
