You have to get to the third playthrough.
I just wanted to share one of my most badass moments in DS. I was clearing the Undead Crypt last night and got to the boss
. I summoned a phantom for help and we managed to kill the boss on the first try with no Estus use. I then saw the Vendick was right there and I had full Estus, so I thought why not... I managed to kill him on the first try. I was feeling pretty good. Went to Drangelic Castle to farm some armor, and got invaded twice. Killed both invaders without using estus... I haven't felt that that from playing a video game in years. Really made me feel like a kid again.

How long did that take?! No
Giant Souls
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Great news! The bolded are very, very good. I wish they had something about removing Soul Memory for coop in NG, though...
It shouldn't in NG either except for invasions.
Heide's and No Man's Wharf are wayyyy easier than Bastille, and you forgot the Gutter area...
Wait what? You killed
Vendrick first try with, at the most, 1 giant soul? Or is this NG+ where you had all the previous playthrough's Giant Souls?
I killed him on the first time in NG with 1 giant soul and a Black Knight Ultragreatsword. No help, since my white phantom left after helping with the boss.
Maybe it was a bug, but i was doing 400dmg to him with 1 handed swings. Maybe he is weak to fire? (I just have one giant soul). It did take like 40 swings.

I've ventured a little into
and seem to be blocked everywhere. Can I basically do nothing there until I have
?
the shaded woods
lit the 4 primal bonfires
Go into the east area, with the mist. There is a path there.
Did you fight him the first time you saw him? If so it's a bug, he takes normal damage the first time, as if you had all 5 giant souls.
Occasionally there happens a bug that makes it so he takes that much damage the first time you see him. He shouldn't take that much damage by any weapon if you only had a single Giant soul.
I have 40STR/40DEX/30ATT, with just enough in str/dex (10/9) to use Dark Longsword +10. It's working really well, i'm still a ways off from SL154 too.
For hexes, I believe it's idol's chime until you get Caitha's Chime in
Drangleic Castle
What weapon?
And don't soapstones work anymore after you beat the last boss but before you started ng+,
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Um, that has to be a bug. He is not weak to fire at all,
with 4 giant souls in my inventory, strong pyros barely dented his HP bar.

Just noticed that Binoculars are considered a weapon in this game.

Yea every time I go a little into that mist (amazing atmosphere btw) some unseen force destroys me and I die instantly so I figured it wasn't my time yet... Sigh
So what is he weak against?
Even my strongest sword only does a little over 200 damage.
And he hits fucking hard.

What's the excuse with DS2 then!
DS2 uses the servers for matchmaking only to my understanding. The actual multiplayer is still P2P, unlike Demon's which used servers for everything (not that Demon's didn't have its share of lag BS kills too).
Pretty sure From was going for player equality, including invaders. I'm pro-Sunbro but it would be just as unfair to a legit invader if the host happened to summon a pimped-out Sunbro with buffed gear. So I don't see this happening.

So, what is everyone's experience with adaptability/agility? I'm still new to the game, and haven't made the decision yet on whether to pump it or not. I know it's effective for estus chugging and maybe shield raising, but I want to know whether it helps with stuff that is actually useful in PVP, i.e. dodging.
There seems to be conflicting information out there regarding this. There is this topic on the FAQZZZ and this video that suggest it's useless for dodging. The video just show roll speed, but the gamefaqs topic takes into account both speed and i-frames.
But then there is this video, which admittedly uses a rather imperfect testing methodology, but which suggests that, while dodging speed is not affected, i-frames definitely are. Judging by this video, agility of around 93 should be ideal.
So, again I ask, what is your experience?
edit: fixed the second link

He is easy to dodge though. I have less then 30% weight load, so I was easily able to dodge him.
Not sure about weakness, but my Pyro spells do good damage, and my Sunlight Spears finished him off. Literally took me less then a minute with all 5 Giant souls
Just noticed that Binoculars are considered a weapon in this game.
That's a good thing. Binoculars in left hand, magic in right: pew pew pew

I think my game is broken
Got to Drangleic Castle on NG+, but the guards wont spawn and I have no way to open the doors. Anyone else had this issue? Really irritating, can't find any workaround.

I.beat him with 4 souls first time. Just be patient and just roll behind him. Let off a couple of swings then go into defensive mode again. He only has like 2 attacks

Known bug if you die while opening the door or something.

It's a known bug, and they addressed it in the patch notes for the upcoming 1.03 patch today. There's no release date for the patch yet though...
It's in the next patch notes.

Are there any sales looming for this? I want to pick it up at some point but probably not at full price.

Is Artorias mentioned in this game at all?
That's crazy, my Greatsword +10 was barely doing 200 with 4 souls.

Hey, guys. Quick ques-
I'm SL98 but have only just beat Freja. I see people completing the game at SL120ish... am I leveling too fast or am I on course?

Yup, I fought him the first time I saw him.
There's no way to lock onto these guys right? This area is really annoying as a caster.
I found a chest in this area that I'm pretty sure has the
Clear Bluestone Ring +1
I think I will try out scraps of life next time I corall a bunch of those guys by me...
Nah you're fine. I was a little lower SL than that my first time, and like 103 this time.
Anyone else running through the game completely in offline mode?
Makes the game more satisfying and atmospheric personally. I'll probably get gold again for the 360 for a few months to start PvPing in Dark Souls 2, but the game world lacking humanity makes things feel more desperate and empowering at the same time.
Plus learning the best builds and weapon upgrade paths without people fucking up your day is nice.

Yup, area of effect spells are the only thing worth trying, essentially. It is possible to run to the exit without getting hurt if you know where it is though.
