Guys, hows the framerate on the PS3?
My thirst for this game is reaching "real" levels, I don't think I can wait for the PC version.
I won't sugar coat it. It's bad. That said, it's a consistent bad. I've only had sub 20 drops in the starting area and sometimes when the game is loading a new area.

If you have the disposable income, buy the PS3 version now and the PC version later.
 
Darklurker killed me with a sliver of life left. Got cocky and he did a quick stab. He pretty easy actually. Especially with 4 flame swathes. Can launch 2 at him during laser beam attack about 1/2 life gone
 
Did I just kill an NPC?

Entering Doors of Pharros for the first time after defeating scorpion lady. First thing I see is this elephant warrior dude and I proceed to kill it with a bunch of soul arrows, but then I see someone like Gavlan heading towards me ready to attack, so I kill it too. Did I just kill Gavlan? Why'd he rush me like that?
 
Bah, you cannot summon people for the second
Pursuer boss fight

Didn't know this and made some dudes waste their time :(

Keep going, you should find Gavlan later in the cave. Those enemies look like him. I got really worried there too.
 
I killed the Rat King by accident after killing the Royal Rat Vanguard.

I thought I could bring back his ghost by going to where I encountered him, but his tombstone isn't there for me to bring back.

Is he goneeee forevvvver?

Ah, I hoped it would be something like that. Thanks.

And, ignoring the warning messages, I just died to a mimic. I hate that.

Not Gavlan! There are others of his race. For some reason they are not as kind as Gavlan. Gavlan is always friendly and always drinking.
 
Did backstabbing get patched in 1.02? Previously I could NOT backstab. Now all I can do is backstab! Even HUGE monsters!

Does anyone know if the parry window/timing for the parry dagger and target shield are different? I was on a roll with the target shield but can't parry shit with the dagger.

What the fuck From. It's like they sat down and decided to make the most annoying area ever. Praise the Sun that this area is short.

I really liked that area. I guess I'm in the minority.
 
Is it confirmed that Chancellor Wellagar does NOT sell Sunlight Spear or Hidden Weapon in NG+?

So if I want to get the achievements for all spells/miracles I have to get rank 2 in Bell Keeper's and Rank 3 in Heirs of the Sun?

Could be problematic getting those since im level 160 now :S
 
Aaaand this shithole of S
hrine
done. Thanks god the boss was easy and I oneshooted. Not looking forward to coming back on NG+


Does it matter what clothes you give to the
formerly petrified girl?

Also, where can I find the Claymore?

The Claymore its
in the Shaded Woods, in the foggy area. Hug left til you stuck in a big rock, theres a NPC inside there. He sells the Claymore
 
Boys I cant unluck the Elite Knight Armor, whats up with that?
Defeated couple of bosses
includin prusuer
but the merchant in the house in Majula doesnt want to sell it
The guy is hurting for business man...gotta buy his stuff...dont be cheap with him and he will reward you!
If I use a bonfire aesthetic and put my summon sign down, will I get summoned for NG+ or NG?
Depends on what the host put in his bonfire, not yours!
Where can I get that herb that allows you to resist poison to a certain extent? I'm not talking about the moss that cures and reduces the buildup.
Rat king
but I didnt find it to help much, even with the ring the poison still got me in the heavy poison areas....just heal a tonne and do suicide runs.
People keep saying armor doesn't really matter so should I just go for mage clothes of some sort and keep it light?

Edit: And what would be the best armor for a magic user?
Each to their own but I like the combat in souls so why not experience the full speed version? Keep it LIGHT. It does matter IMO as you roll way better (farther) with a low equip burden percentage; mixed with ADP (agility) you can be mighty quick: Check it!

yes of course it does!

In dark souls 1 if they got away from you, you could leave the game and load back in and the lizards were back.

That doesn't seem to work anymore in part 2.

I've reloaded the game multiple times to catch a lizard in almost every spot I've seen them. They come back until you actually kill them and get their items.

Yes, those two you have to level the covenants up. You don't have to do Bell Keeper online. People said you can kill the red phantom that spawns in there. I just did it online myself. Also don't worry, it's still early and a lot of people are playing. I did bell keepers late around your SL and was getting invaded or invading pretty consistently.

Thanks. Better get on it then!
 
I'm assuming you can't just (trophy spoilers)
murder Benhardt and Lucatiel for those trophies?

PS: Black Gulch is annoying, but easy as hell. You can get through it running from bonfire to boss in like one bar of stamina.
 
Yep, those dudes. Since I had no fucking idea what I was doing or what the right door was I just kept accidentally opening them, revealing more and more of those fuckers, making opening other doors even more difficult. And those doors had those fuckers behind them. Because I didn't want to outright spoil what to do, I only looked up the method for the situation, not what exactly the direction or objective. In retrospect, for my skill level, I should have looked up the solution outright and stuck with it.

On the plus side, got a shitload of souls. Might go back and farm for a bit.
It'd have been more managable if they were at least one-spawn-only enemies, but NOPE. WE RESPAWN MOTHERFUCKER. I'd be taking one on carefully, drained but successful, go to the bonfire to recover, open another, and WHY ARE TWO OF YOU AFTER ME!?

EDIT: I also fucked that part up entirely by mistake for someone I was summoned as help for. Oops, I THOUGHT it was OK to just run and open all the doors!

No you can't lol otherwise it would be too easy :P. When you go for those trophies. Make sure you buy the
Red Eye Ring
from the cat merchant in majula. Makes those insanely easier since the bosses just aggro on you the whole time.
 
Hmm, another BS in Door of Pharos.. You don't get any souls for killing the monsters in their world, only get souls from the host themselves. Kinda sucky, since last encounter, the host was nowhere to be found, and I had to search him out! Too bad for him, I kicked his ass. Took two Flame Swathes to kill him, so he was a bit stronger than others.
 
I've reloaded the game multiple times to catch a lizard in almost every spot I've seen them. They come back until you actually kill them and get their items.

so it still works like in dark souls 1!?

okay, than I have to try it more often.

btw.: I can parry almost anyone in demon's and dark souls 1 with no problem, but here?

and it only gets better! managed to deal with them and had only one door to open (you know to collect the loot). so, I carefully fight those statue-guys (kill one from a distance and the other one close to the door) - finally, when it's about to trigger it to open, that shitty soul goes to the golem that holds a torch.

so, to open the door I had to respawn them all, starting from scratch.

love that room too.

btw.: do you get something, when you light up the torches?
 
Ok, who is the other merchant besides Straid that will trade boss souls for weapons. He won't talk to me because of my low intelligence rating. If there's nobody else, then I'm just going to use all these to level up. Seems like a stupid waste though.
You should be able to have some Soul Vassals if it comes to that, and the other one is
Ornifex, who can be found in the Shaded Woods (I think that's the name) once you unpetrify one of the enemies and get a key off him. Should be near the branch leading back to your bonfire, facing a cliffside.
They have unique selections though, so one soul will not get something from one but will from the other.

And I'd seriously never, ever do this until some NG++ round just because it's really kind of just... stupid. Souls aren't a big deal relatively to acquire, not like a new spell or weapon anyway.

Before unlocking Ornifex, make sure to kill all the monsters in the room right before. I opened the door like an idiot and the basilisks killed her D:

I can confirm that he doesn´t sell hidden weapon!

Didn´t really look for sunlight spear because i had that covenant pushed anyways.
Just finished 100% achievements earlier.

But you should be able to sunbro sinner ng++ with that level easily. Saw many signs down when i was there.
 
Thanks, I actually got that trophy without trying. From what it seems, you need to spend a bunch of money on him, think people were saying around 15k souls. Also make sure to get the ember, infuse/upgrade a weapon etc. Then when you talk to him he should give you his hammer. Also light the torch in the room, not sure it that matters, but doesn't hurt to do that as well.
Yeah, I've done all of that. I've spent more than 15K, I've upgraded weps, I've lit the torch and have him the ember, all long ago.

I'll try to spend more and see of that helps.

Thanks.
 
So the only way to increase the Company of Champions covenant is by getting invaded? That... will take awhile, any other way to increase the rank?

Yeah good luck man. Was reading some people were having problems with it. I didn't talk to him for a while and I probably spent well over 15k before I even got the trophy. So it could be more.
 
You know i was ruing having to face
DarkLurker.
So many horror stories of being smashed over and over by this guy's OP attacks and split personalities.

Imagine the smile on my face when the fight lasted 30 seconds with my lvl 105 STR/INT build. Soul Geyser? 1/3 to nearly a half of his hp gone. 2 flame swathes when he paused to split after that and down the cunt went.

Easiest fucking boss in the game for me. I was anticipating having to burn through my Human Effigies to deal with it.

Onto NG+ with only 3 spells to collect before the platinum. Can i go straight to drangleic seeing as i've already got dem important souls? Going to do a proper speed playthrough of all the areas in NG+ and then speedrun NG++

You get awestones from NPC red phantom invasions. So if you just play through the game you'll get some. I wonder if red soapstone invasions give awestones.

I don't know about weapons. But someone here said he does sell those spells, but only in ng++

Which I hope is really true, as be hard to get those otherwise.

Yeah, I'm definitely over 40-50K spent now and a fully upgraded weapon. I'll head back to infuse something and check again.
 
So I was wondering what's the accepted lvl cap for this game within the community? I'm Lvl 115 at the moment and not sure what lvl to go to.
