Yea I would disagree with that and I'm only half way through... I thought Lost Bastille-Sinner's Rise were kind of annoying. Not bad at all, but definitely not a high.

Ahh I totally forgot about those! I'll have to whip those out and respec again once I recruit the guy in No Man's Wharf in NG+ (screwed up that trophy my first time) and can dump my INT points.

NiceNeo VSPursuer fight on NG+++++ done with fists only, no damage. This was an absolutely BRUTAL fight, all their attacks would 1 shot me on that difficulty and the bare fist moveset is complete shit. No shield either, all dodging and parrying, just finding an opening to attack is a process in itself.Twin
I went to town on them though, I think it's worth a watch

How do you do that much damage with just punching?Lost Bastille was definitely boring and irritating to me. The area is so gray flat. And the mobs of exploding guys and Royal Soldiers were super annoying. Not a fan of simply being overrun instead of fighting strategically. Didn't like that area at all.
My favorite area was Shrine of Amana. Had to take it slow and methodical. Was so much fun. Reminded me of how enemies were placed in Demon's.
Yeah I know, i want to be the same in NG.
And another fix i wanted with the patch. The Blue Sentinels covenant work even if you're not in the same area of the invaded player.
Nice
Vanquisher's Seal ring, it's the level 3 reward for the Champions Covenant. Makes your fist do more damage. Oh and 99 STR + Ring of Blades +2!
This fight was seriously one of the hardest things I've ever done in a game, it was absolutely insane. The bosses were so aggressive and relentless that lock-on would get me killed so I had to manually control the camera at all times.

Platinumed the game last week but I'm itching to start a new playthrough. Damn it school!
I finally got to the demo area last night and I must have been severely over-leveled for it because it was a breeze. I went in there around level 100 but I think the reasoning for that is I forgot about the entrance and didn't realize there would be a person there waiting to open it for me later on. Pretty cool additions to the area and the
boss was just as cool as I remember.

Will end up finally beating the game tonight. I will then look for what tropies I can possible achieve before going onto NG+. It's funny, I have like 22 bonfire ascetics and yet to use any. Mainly cause I know I'll be going into NG+. Anyone else end up not using any? Since I will likely need to go all the way through NG+ to get to NG++ for those extra spells that that one guy in a certain castle sells, I may not use it on some of the NPC summons.
Same. I'll use end for more challenge if I make a new build though.
I may just go NG+ too. Should be way faster now that I know the game's areas inside out. We don't lose any souls or boss souls right? What do we lose?

Place would be great without the mages, IMO. Lots of missed potential with the atmosphere.
Why do we always kill what we don't understand.

These people are called psychopaths.
The 2nd half of the game was lousy, IMO. Uninteresting areas, characters and bosses that have (as far as I can tell) absolutely nothing to do with the story, and then a soupy turd of an ending.
Game's still alright, though.

lol, would've liked to see that!
Well that sucks. I'm guessing atm you can switch out rings when being summoned like with the forest covenant ring in DS1, but they're now making it so you can't? Silly.
I don't kill anything that I can talk to. You monster!

I wouldnt worry that much about it. He doesnt give anything of that big importance, and he sucks when being summoned for that particular boss, at least from my experience. There is always NG+ too, so you can get his rewards then if you want

Well, I learned something new today. No big deal.
If you're a Dark Souls veteran, you should know by now not to kill something until you know it's hostile. Heck, in the first game there were NPCs that used the exact same model as enemies. Whoever thought that up was a jerk.
I think he drops that upon death anyway. You'll just be robbed out of a

1 month until the Steam release and I'm afraid that I won't enjoy it remotely as much as the previous entries.
Why would I be robbed of a
Fragrant Branch of Yore
oh yeah, totally. i almost always try to lock on to enemies but for some reason this guy just looked...so obviously like an enemy i didnt even bother and went straight to shooting him with an arrow to see how much damage it did lol

I'm so sorry. >_< It's early.
If it's any consolation, and hopefully not another spoiler, the notion of "final boss" is very nebulous in this game.
War Cry, Pumped Up, Warm Up are my staples.
In every game I get summoned into I cast Warmth and then immediately praise my own sun by using
Mercy
Also, It's All Me when someone else uses No! never ceases to amuse me.

I quit, I saw him fist the
Dragon
A Sorcerer with a Blacksteel Katana? Who doesn't even bother using Sorcery anymore? How badly could I have screwed up this build? Oh wait, is that 9 Flame Swathes in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I'm probably doing it wrong, but with Pyromancy as a secret weapon it almost feels like nothing else matters. Besides, love that sword.

So I finally got White Ring yesterday. Is it true that placing down a red summon sign will make it turn white? Or was that just a rumor?
There was also a rumor that Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring would not alert the host if you were trying to invade them. Though I'd guess that one is for sure false.

I managed to

, now I find myself at an impasse (cit.): there's plenty of stuff I didn't do, areas I didn't visit, bonfires I didn't know how to reach, so I'm going to explore and get some lore, but should I
finish the game
Vendrick
do it in NG+ or stay in NG and throw some ascetic at bonfires?
I started running around the rat area last night on my new str/faith build, running up to the host in heavy armor and havel's shield and taking a few swings with my great club, he starts circle strafing and then oh wait Sunlight Spear dead because I'm a caster too! I'm still terrible at real pvp, but it's fun to mess with people's expectations.
I went with the one that only gives pure melee damage scaling off the INT.

The non-alert affect of the Dragoncrest Ring is for sure true-- I experienced it myself and had the shit scared out of me. A message never appeared, my controller never vibrated, and it definitely was not an NPC as it was a blue phantom in Heide's Tower.
edit: Although I guess that doesn't prove it was the ring's doing-- could have been a bug, and I've only had it happen once.
Not sure about the white ring, but I recently got one and am eager to test the effects.

What i did personally was that i did everything i could do before doing NG+. I dont think there is any need to use Bonfire Ascetic. If you're going to get the platinum trophy or all achievements, you need to go into NG+ anyway.

Strange thing happened to me on my NG++, don't think this should be spoilered: So I rested and selected to start a new game, it sent me to Things Betwixt, but realised I'd forgotten a couple of things so I quit out as bit hadn't autosaved. When I reloaded it I was back in Majula, in what I guess was my previous playthrough, but with the bonfire unlit. I activated it and everything then reset for my new game, but with me started in Majula. Unfortunately I didn't realise it would reset so I didn't take the time to run around and see what had reset and what had before activating the bonfire (the old woman merchant was definitely there, and disappeared after activating the bonfire).

I read somewhere that you still get notified, but its kinda crazy that you wont get notified. I wonder if this will punish you if you disconnect then, not knowing that someone is actually connected to your game.
YOU DEFEATED.
Beat ze game. Last two bosses weren't that tough but I am surprised I did it in one go. Really loved the model design of the last one. Creepy stuff.
Curious to know how the bad ending played out. Unless I got that one, considering I
.
Dark Souls 2 definitely had a stronger end game than the original DS and the areas were much more pleasant to visit. Lotta group bosses though.
