It's slow enough that you can roll out of range. Nowhere near as bad as a offhand forbidden sun or GRS, or a wrath of the gods from a host's sunbro friend.

I guess No-Man's Wharf is an unpopular spot? Spent like 20 mins trying to get a summon sign outside the boss room, to no avail. Was carrying a bunch of souls and with no partner to fight with, I cut my losses and Ancient Feathered outta there.

I got the entire set just farming Heide's Tower and I didn't even want it.
It wasn't like trying to get the Black Dragon Shield which took me hours upon hours and multiple bonfire ascetics

Nah, most people get out of there since there's no reason to return really. And most 1-shot the boss on their first try.

I'm NG+, and hear the boss is ridiculous. Could definitely use some summon bros...
You can just safely roll away, I've never actually been hit by a firestorm.
However if you are using a firestorm, you can increase your chances of hitting someone by performing it right after a backstab or riposte. I got a kill once using this method, but even then my opponent had enough time to get up and swing once. He only missed because my character was crouching and he whiffed.

Well I hope you weren't looking for summon signs next to the boss fog. Because you can't drop a summon sign on the boat (well, technically you can, but it will just show up on the dock next to the boat instead).
I never gave much of a damn about trophies/achievements because it seemed they usually required that or at least some obsessive complitionism. Which is fine, they're meant more for people who really like a game and want to go all out, though this is probably the most reasonable the Souls games have ever been. I actually want to try and achieve it, whereas the other ones just come off as grinding nightmares to some extent, especially Demon's.

It was the same for the first Dark Souls, not that that excuses it.
I'm actually fine with it when it comes to this series, as it keeps me motivated to continue playing with the same character and seeing what + playthroughs have to offer.
I can't get the helm to drop.
Syan's Halberd has a sick movement set and is maxed out at 330 damage at a d/a scaling.
It receives still less scaling then the Black Knight Halberd, who scales slightly better at a c/b scaling for whatever reason despite having 30str/40dex. Dex scaling in general really sucks it seems. You can enchant the Halberd, but I think it'll still get out damaged by the BKH. However the movement set is far superior. R1 -> R1 is a double thrust, kinda like Spears.

That won't work because you are no longer invincible during the animation. I was fighting a guy in the Blood bros arena, it was this really narrow corridor with nowhere to dodge. Dude casts Firestorm, I roll-BS him, but took massive damage doing so. -_-
You can!

Indeed. NG+ doesn't begin until you select the new option that appears when resting at the Majula bonfire.

The downgrade in graphics doesn't really bother me much, the game still looks great, but some of the repeating textures are pretty awful. Hopefully we can fix this on PC.
not that I know of...i got the armour as a drop and suspect the other pieces would drop also, but no guarantee.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ok guys 2 days of farming and I got the berserker blade...it wont be worth it...but thankful that page has been turned all the same!
I would have rather got the headpiece instead of the armour, but got that also.Stefan;106295789 said:
As a melee build with sweeping attacks, I found that
once he splits, the fight is over. Just run around in a circle until they group up and run in unlocked and hit them both for massive amounts of damage. Even if you don't have sweeping attacks, just being unlocked gives you a lot more freedom in movement and what angles you can attack from for any melee weapon.
For a caster, I can't imagine him being very hard at all.
Learning to play unlocked helps with a lot of bosses and enemies.

How about ring of life protection + 3k souls to repair it when you die? Because human effigies are in limited supply throughout the game, aren't they?
Step on the platform on the left and focus on dodging. Don't overextend. Also you can target his upper body to get a clearer view of what he's doing.

You can block the sweep attack no problem, the overhead smash you need to dodge at the last second because it has some bullshit tracking on it.
You don't have to be human for that content, you literally have to spend effigies. I ran out on NG and gave up, on NG+ I've got 60+ effigies so far though so maybe this playthrough.
As a faith/dex build with sunlight spear, it took a couple tries, but was ridiculously easy after learning all the attack patterns. Took 6 sunlight spears I think. Melee build would definitely be tougher. Basically,
i had it's health down to 50%, and then it started to split, I then hit it 3 times with sunlight spear before it could even get an attack off and it died.

Oh okay then I don't want them to stop spawning before I get it honestly I just want the helm and torso. The rest will just be Alonne knight stuff.
I'm thinking of infusing my claymore as there's no crystal and raw seems to be a bad idea what should I pick.

Am I missing other methods of getting humanity? I am down to just 1 effigy left and I'm already at 50% health, so I'm really reluctant to risk using it. I think I am still fairly early in the game as I've only defeated 4 bosses (in my world). Tried to solo the bosses at
Belfry Luna and Sinner's Rise
I've killed many of the dogs in Lost Bastille to extinction and don't remember getting many effigies, if any at all. I have been helping people co-op bosses dozens of times and I have not gotten any restoration of my humanity since helping people with the
Last Giant and the Pursuer
I just feel that its bullshit that effigies are so limited in supply, so you can get stuck with 50% health, and there aren't any other feasible ways to restore your humanity (until some shrine later in the game). You should be able to get humanity from helping someone defeat a boss or killing someone in PVP like in Dark Souls 1... Or they should have included a damn ring early in the game like in Demon's Souls that limits health loss from death to 25% (rather than 50%), which would be fair since you would have to sacrifice a ring slot.
There is. Go to Heide's Tower of Flame. Right before the Old Dragonslayer boss there is a Ring of Binding in a chest, which limits health loss from death to 25%. You can get this ring whenever you want, in 10 minutes from the first time you get to Majula if you want.

Ok, I know where that place is, but it seemed like a higher level area with all the giant guys. Made it to a boss once and died. I will try going that way again...
The area is slightly easier than the Lost Bastille, try a Mace or a Club if you're having trouble with the knights.

Well, I just don't have enough health to even beat this
Dragonrider
Ok, found it now, thanks. Even got x5 Effigies with the ring!

20+ hours with the halberd (mostly 2h) and I just now figured out you can use it like a spear and jab enemies while blocking. LOL
Toxic is brutal in this game (fuck
). Blighttown blowdarts were cake in comparison.

You don't need to beat him to gain the ring. There is another boss in the area you can access without beating Dragonrider, the ring is right before that boss.
Sunlight blade (on lightning weapon)
Great magic barrier
As for offensive spells yeah they're mostly useless
Are you using your small white soapstone? Maybe that one doesn't change depending on your covenant. I was getting sunlight medals just fine in the heirs of the sun covenant with the regular soapstone.
yeah im using the small one ill try the other thanks
