I got the lucatiel trophy yesterday. That bonfire ascetic trick is a godsend for this trophy. Way easier, even on NG+. Next up: trying to get all spells/miracles/etc.

Also got the guide in. What a beast! They really went all out with that thing.

Which bosses are best to do this on? I may have to try it since I've had her die on one already.

I finished the game at around 61 hours.

Found it underwhelming and not very rewarding at the end.

Game layout feels very rushed, anyone else feel the same?
i had fun but I was disappointed with the last boss and "ending". No idea what happened there. Maybe I'm missing some lore since I'm not trying to find everything. I had no trouble with the areas. They didn't overstay their welcome.
 
Question re: drangleic

Just beat the two dragon riders, am I close to the looking glass knight? Really want to get his soul for a new weapon. Still using the starting mace...

All boss weapons suck and most break all the time.
But yeah you are pretty close.
 
Kind of amazed that there is no fix for people getting stuck in the wall in a certain boss fight. Seen so many streams where it has happened, seems very common.
 
Is being a dirty sinner a binary state? Apparently the crushed eye orb thing does count as sin, so would I be better off just laying waste to all NPCs? Would that give me more sin, or am I just a sinner regardless? And is it really true you can't absolve sins in NG+? I'm not sure I can afford that bill!
 
Just arrived to
Lost Sinner
on NG+...
So Im having a tense, noble and hard duel with this bitch and suddenly my ass starts to burn. I was like "wtf did my character farted?" and then I saw osme pyro dudes and they all proceded ro rape me..
.
Thats beyond trollish, FROM...
 
Made a bit more progress last night. Finished Door of Pharros and made it to the boss of Brightstone. Loving every minut of this game!! Got the fire resistant shield so I will most likely give the Smelter demon another try. Still having no luck getting the Blacksteel Katana. :(

I was hoping a much better patch

Also got the guide in. What a beast! They really went all out with that thing.

Please tell us how you did it! I want this and Bernhardt's trophies. I fucked up both.

I got the Washing Pole, gonna max it out and mess around with it.
 
Man I really hate how it's not possible to have a lot of stamina anymore. Fuck this seriously. Makes STR builds pointless.

How the heck much stamina do you need? My 30 points in Endurance feels like plenty onr my strength build. Just because you can't stunlock someone with a greatsword with 8 hits?
 
Please tell us how you did it! I want this and Bernhardt's trophies. I fucked up both.

I did both on new game as I didn't even know about them 1st time around. Redeye ring plus 1 human summons worked for me. I just spent most of the fights blocking or running away and let my human kill the boss. The useless NPCs just barely made it out alive but they did always survive. The only exception was the giant lord. I let Berhard get smashed about while I nuked the boss from outside his range with high end magic.

For Bernhardt on the G
iant
L
ord
, I summoned him and ran into the fog immediately. Since there is a delay before he appears and enters the fog door, this means he will be too slow to actually get to the boss, or get stuck in some geometry so he won't be hurt.

Yea, I didn't know the summon locations beforehand for them. But I do need a guide got the Bonfire Ascetic locations I need to use them. Don't wanna NG+ areas I don't need to do them.
 
50 in Faith, Sunlight spear and Defender Greatsword.
It's fucking time to wreck shit.

Doesn't Sunlight Spear need 55? I recently respec'd to 45 str / 55 faith and threw some lightning on my weapons and throwing lightning bolts everywhere, it's pretty rad. Giant lightning club, smash!
 
Just out of curiosity, were you finding any Summons or Invasions at Lvl 200+?
Yeah. I had some hard time finding summon signs around
No Man's Wharf and The Lost Bastille
, but when i put down my summon sign around
The Lost Sinner bonfire
, i got summoned very quickly. I did this several times in a row and i got summoned quickly each time. I also got invaded some times randomly, and also in
Belfry Sol
. I cant really compare it that much to my first run though because when i beat the game the first time, i never summoned anyone (not even the NPCs) and i didnt put down my summon sign. But i could still do co-op and get invaded at soul level 200+ at least.

Yep, I had to slap some skeptic's spices on that one.

Re: the patch, awesome to see that co-op now turns you human! Wise decision.

Yes, but you can use some Skeptic's Spice on it (Max 10 I believe, so you can get it down to 45), then invest some points that you put in faith in more health or something.
 
Yeah I'm trying to get the Lucietiel trophy and the spells of course.. I'm half way through NG+ and will rush through NG++ for those spells.. Those spell trophies are more annoying than past Souls games..

Yeah, they are more annoying that spells in the previous games, but I'll take that over Demon's Souls crazy low drop rate on stones and Dark Souls "Get all these random weapon drops". At least this way I know with 100% accuracy that I can get those spells if I put in the work.

Question for everyone that has been confusing the hell out of me. I see everyone using the terms "NG" and "NG+".... how exactly is everyone using NG+? Maybe it's just Chrono Trigger burning it into my brain that NG+ (New Game Plus) means "the second playthough", but It seems like everyone is using it to mean:

Start first playthrough and beat first playthrough -> Start New Game and beat New Game -> Start New Game+ and beat New Game+ -> ....etc.

So, is NG+ is actually your third run through the game? Is the 3rd playthrough when they start to
chanege the bosses around
?

You can use the Aestetic on
Rotten boss
.. It seems like the easiest boss to tank for Lucatiel so that she can survive the entire fight.. Thankfully I got her to live through the
Smelter Demon
and
Fexile Sentry
.. I think she might have survived
Lost Sinner
also..
 
I have to say the Magic MLGS +5 and CMW for PvP with 65 Int is quite beastly.. Good for certain bosses that are easier to melee against also..

Edit: Oops Double Post.. Thought someone would have posted before me T_T

I'll try those out. Is her summon outside the boss room in black gulch?
 
Successful Online coop with white / small sigh stone will now revive you back to human

Staying as a hollow after co-op will be the new bug!

as an pure INT char with minimal STR/DEX do you go magic or enchanted infusion on your weapon?
IIRC, Enchanted makes the weapon scale with INT but the weapon still does physical damage.

Soooo I guess it depends if you want to deal physical or magic damage with your weapon?
Personally, I'm just making a bunch of longswords and infusing them with all sorts of crap.
