Whats a good cut off for faith levels? Between Dex/Str/Faith I'm not sure about the split. Level 50 in faith and I could use the Lighting spear spell I got from Sun bros level 3.

Thanks, Solitaire's the best.
I got a really good mage earlier, who got one shot but did decent damage to him (not really, my club did more). Almost got him down to 25% health after that though.
I just realized I don't even know what he gives you, I don't remember why I tried fighting him lol.
Ok, cool, I'll try this strat out tomorrow then, thanks!
Horrible. I got one almost down but ended up messing up my timing on a roll and ate a sword.
Beat the game just now 
42:54 Hours and Level 158. Pretty happy with the game overall...not sure how I'd rank it in comparison to the other Souls games but had a blast. Regarding graphics...some areas looked amazing, while others definitely have some drab or ugly textures. But
Damn.

Dragon Aerie?
All depends what you want to use, I guess. If you want to use Sunlight Spear then take it pretty high. Same with Str and Dex. There's only a point in raising them to match whatever weapons you'd like to use.

In the dream of one of the giants you can snatch a soul vessel. in the main dream you can snatch a bonfire ascetic. right before him is an item containing 2 twinkle titanites. when you use an ascetic on the bonfire right after the kings door, you reset ALL drops for all dreams AND the TT spot. Collect TT + Ascetic (+soul vessel if you want), beat boss, use ascetic. Rinse and repeat. The 3 Hero Souls may respawn as well, meaning cheap almost endless Souls. The game stops to increase the difficulty at ng7, but you can use ascetic indefinitely.
INT and Faith builds can be amazing melee characters. What you do is keep your weapon on the normal upgrade path, put a ton of points into INT or Faith, then use the magic weapon or sunlight blade spells, and you'll do just as much damage as non-magic characters, if not more.
DAMN!
Velstadt just seems like a :bigguy: Vendrick might be a Lord Soul thing.
Oh, boss fight though zzz. This would be better if it was like the petrified dragon bone respawning in Aldia's keep with no boss.

I was just backtracking a bit through No-man's Wharf and an enemy hit me with an oil pouch. After killing him, I was cycling through my weapons and briefly took my Pyromancy Flame out. Of course, that immediately resulted in a painful explosion. What a fantastic, subtle interaction I love it.

I just hit level 123, and I still have four or five locations to visit. XD
I kept my soul level low on purpose, I only leveled up a the 19 extra levels so I could kill The A

you don't want to know how many times I died in that place trying to get everything. All those jumps, all that lava...
I got all the items though. Every last one.
Most of them are worthless.

Iron Keep
I only read
a "trap ahead" message next to that one and even with a blood stain besides it I didn't think twice of it. I've encountered that chest late enough into the game (approximately 30 hours for me) to the point I started feeling more comfortable around chests again, what with me just being paranoid about all the other ones I wrongfully thought to be mimics. Instead I kept getting those pansy-ass traps (arrows, poison clouds, ...) that also had the same messages and blood stains next to 'em. I even thought the chest itself visually looked different, but I attributed that to another case of the lighting throwing me off and it probably not really having any discernable quirks that would seperate it from actual chests as a result. How wrong I was. I also just happened to stop being patient enough to see whether I could see it breathing like in the original game or (if I had time to spare) to find out if it had an idle animation if you waited long enough.
That one was carefully and deviously placed alright. Spooked me something fierce.
Is there a way to get the items on the fire rocks besides suicide?

Can I burn the main boss souls and still have it count as having gotten them? I don't need to keep them in my inventory forever do I?
'Servant's Quarters' bonfire, pretty narrow path from there. Through a hallway, up some stairs, and a gate + bridge leads to that area. It's under 'Straid's Cell' bonfire if you have that unlocked.

Oh do you have a surprise waiting for you, just persist and dont give up no matter how much you want to break the controller or tv.
I don't consider that move cheap. It's clearly telegraphed.
If you see him dig his sword into the ground, run away (he doesn't always follow that up with the blast, but get away from him regardless).. You always have enough time to get away from it, and its radius is pretty reasonable (unlike, say, Stray Demon's similar attack).
Had a lot of painful/fun co-op against Smelter with hosts who wouldn't get away from the AOE blast.

Ugh, how do I read the melee weapon attack stat page again?
I have two swords: Broadsword+5 and some other sword +3.
The broadsword does 180 physical damage. The other sword 150 or so. I can upgrade them both with a large titanite shard. The broadsword would go to 192. The other sword 162. The thing is, the other sword has 80 bleeding attack.
Which sword does more damage and which sword is best to upgrade?
I've been using this broadsword for basically the entire game. Just beat

There's some vases you can roll into to get wet. You can tell it's working if you're leaving behind wet footprints. Also a Pharos lockstone generates a puddle but I never had any luck getting that to work.
From there use flash sweat and/or an orange burr to be safe. You'll probably die anyways, but you might get some loot out of it.

I'm not sure about the answer to your first question, though I think it's not permanent. But as far as the achievement is concerned, you don't have to actually join the covenant for it. They all unlock when you get to the "Join? Yes/No" popup.

It doesn't even kill you one shot either, at least it didn't for me. He was tough, but once I figured out how to dodge, he wasn't all that hard.

I loved that fight because the first couple of times I thought "this is bullshit, not sure I'll be able to take this guy any time soon. he's just too tough when he hulks up" and then I got my rolls down better and did it. Mastered that fight and what I learned there helped my timing in other spots.
Yeah, that's it.

I mean the ground pound. If he hits you with the jump attack you get impaled to the ground. you don't have enough time to escape the explosion afterwards. That is the ONLY reason I ever died to him. Stupid camera sometimes makes it nigh impossible to see him for proper timing for the dodge, in particular close to a wall.
I still love him. Kind of a twisted love-hate thing. Sad that his armor is belly-free tho ._. looks so stupid.

Flash Sweat pyromancy + fire resistant armor + fire resistance ring + roll around in nearby vases that have water in them or the Pharros Lockstone water pool (I think the last item helps the most because you're covering yourself with water, you can skip one or maybe even two of the other components).
