Oh, a user above said it was an optional boss?
Yes it's optional but there's no bosses in the Brotherhood of Blood. Have to join the Pilgrims of Dark to access it.

The Smelter Demon is brutal. I think it's safe to attack his back, then he one hits me with a fire fart.

He'll only do the fire AoE after a jumping plunge attack. Just watch for how long it takes him to pull his sword out of the ground. If he's taking his sweet time, stay away.

Just made it to S
of A
. Fuck this place. Definitely the most challenging area so far thanks to
Classic Dark Souls.

the millions of ranged spellcasters. Oh and if they don't kill me, I fall off the edge of the map.
Classic Dark Souls.

Just defended the bell, literally made it by a sliver of health, I could barely see it!! Fortunately the 'invader' had no shield and sucked at evading, SPAM MIRACLE
EDIT: Whoops, just invaded him again.

spent some time grinding the SunBro covenant to get the sun sword, and it was pretty worth it. The range is meh but not bad scaling, and it keeps scaling when infused, right? At least that's what it looked like. Haven't done it yet, but has anyone infused it with anything and is it worth it or is it better to take to normal +10. Trying to get away from the great sword and its slowness. Liking the claymore as well right now after I infused with lightning.
I've ran out of Alonne captain's to kill I think unless there is more inside the keep so I can't get the Alonne greatbow that I wanted. I had to get all those black steel katana's that I'm never going to use.
Even if you've depopulated
Iron Keep
Drangleic Castle
room where you activate the elevator that leads to the imprisoned Milfanito
Nobody, that's who.
The scaling will be lowered if you infuse it.

Melee character hell.
Get a good bow and five million arrows, and you should be alright.
Yeah that's what I meant, but it still seems to be decent. If going with Faith would it make sense to infuse or not with this sword?
You can get a shield with high magic block, like the Rebel Greatshield or the Silverblack shield.
Dragonrider's Bow is a good ranged option for strength builds.
I've not depopulated the whole area yet so I'ts just the easy to get captains are dead not the ones near the belfry sol ladder. So I can hopefully get one of of them. I might just use an asthetic but I don't know exactly how it works.
Also does anyone now how much of an affect soul history makes on co-op or is it still level based like dark souls was?
It probably is, it is quite hilarious, though.

You can bypass the area altogether if you
get Gilligan (at Earthen Peak) to come back to Majula and pay him 12,000 Souls to drop a ladder for you. It will put it at an area that leads to a locked door (you'll get a key later) and you can drop past the place.
Alternatively, with the Silvercat Ring and enough HP you can make the drop to bypass it without the ladders.

Just beat the 2x
. Died 3x because of that stupid ass second one firing an arrow at me everytime I healed. Once I realized he had super low HP, I made him my target, and killed him. That was still a really hard fight. I tried to go to the left, but, he always hit me or shield stunned me.
You gotta be fucking kiddin. Another fucking room full of statues? Why are you so cruel from?

Actually, you can bait the first guy to hit the pillars of the platform the second guy is standing on so he drops down. Simplifies the fight tremendously.

Stupid question but I bow humbly in noob disgrace before my overlords. How do you equip rings?

At last, I am prepared. Let's do this.

Damn it, lol. Thanks man!Press Start. goto Equipment menu. Use "X" or "A" (PS3 vs 360) on any of the 4 right selections. Those are you ring slots.

I still haven't got to those items there.
I can't figure out how to do it.AlimNassor

how do I beat this room full of statues? 3 at once and that turns into 6, and I can't do much damage since y'know slashing and stone.
I still haven't got to those items there.
Tons of fire resist. Fire resist armor, fire resist ring, flash sweat, and roll around in some water.
I still haven't got to those items there.
It took me a while. I barely made it with
lots of HP (stat + rings), the Clothany Ring + Cat Ring, Armor with high fire def. and Flesh Sweat Pyromancy. Jumping down from the platform above (after you used the lever) makes it possible without water-rolling.
It's a lot easier if
you roll around in the Pharros Key waterbasin that is hidden up the ladder, but then you have to take a pretty difficult way back down, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it if you haven't defeated all enemies in the area
That was hilarious. I was at the Mirror Knight, and I THOUGHT I had died. I put my controller down, and was shaking my head only to notice that I had a pixel of life left. I freaked out, grabbed my controller, and proceeded to narrowly dodge a lightning attack. Then I healed and kicked the crap out of him.

The Redeye Ring helps quite a bit when trying to keep NPC summons alive, makes the boss focus more on you.
It sure helped me a lot!

Yeah I tried that, but when he focused on me only I had a hard time casting hahaha!

So, after my first play-through of utterly pancaking/stun-locking things with a Gyrm Great Hammer, I've respec'd to a high ADP DEX build with one attunement slot for NG+.
Dual wielding +10 Blacksteel Katanas.
This could be tough.

Thanks - I appreciate it! Any boss weapons I should pick up and what not?

Can anyone help with Scorpioness NG+? Technically NG but I burned an astetic. SL 68.
Had a few summons but they all died really quickly. Nothing for a good 10 minutes now.
The Tark dude dies insanely quickly on his own and I'm struggling to do her without help.

I just got invaded by what seemed to be like a hacked character.
I was trying to get summoned at the cardinal tower with a new character, level 13, SM around 5000.
got invaded by someone who stood there a good minute before moving, had both hand weapons invisible, used what I assumed was a greatbow (he was firing spear-like projectiles) and acid surge. he was probably trying the covenant and champion ring because he hit me barehanded once.
the worse is probably that I hit him a good 14 or 15 times with 4 backstabs and his life was still almost full.
that's the first time something like that happened to me. his username isn't appearing in my "players met" list neither. what the hell?

I know that feeling. I did it 3 times as a caster and you just got to be patient and lear his moves. Put on the ring Redeye Ring and something for faster stamina recovery, circle strafe him with a shield that blocks 100% physical. After he's done with one of his attacks, you have a window where you can use 1 spell, 2 if your casting times are low enough. Never use 3 spells or he will attack you during your casting. After you've used 1 or 2 spells, let your stamia recover for a second and then repeat, with your shield up. Lucatiel is not affected by the lava and she does a good amount of damage even on NG+++ bonfire ascetic level. It helps if you try to have her at the back of the Rotten. This way, his attacks won't accidentaly hit her when he's aming for you. It also helps if you kite him in a way that he is positioned on top of the round lava pit to the right so you don't run the risk of stepping into it.
edit: Also, clear the path to the boss of those poison spitting statues so Lucatiel doesn't get poisoned.
I still haven't got to those items there.
One tip is to
chug estus flasks (note plural), about 1/4 the way to the chest chug multiple estus flasks (2-3) run a bit further, chug 2-3 flasks again, repeat until you can get to the chest and open it.

So, any tips for Mirror Knight? He wrecks me everytime. I can't dodge his moves, if he jumps I can't dodge he always hits me. His NPC summons wreck me pretty hard, they have high HP and do a ton of damage combined with the boss fighting me and me already being injured from fighting the statues...
So remember when I was telling you guys how awesome the sprinting light attack with The Washing Pole was? Uh, yeah, it's pretty much really stupid in lag.
Sprinting 1h attack with katanas has some insane tracking abilities. It's one of my favourite opening moves.

I really dislike how From made a hundred enemies swarm you before the boss. Really dislike it.
