you need to climb the ladder at the top of this section and roll through the vases full of water. They'll give you mad fire resist ontop od flashsweat and flame quartz. You will make it and back again no sweat.

Finally defeated the
after at least 30 tries. Using a white soapstone in the area is a great way to get souls and perfect the strategy. Ended up summoning 2 people for help, one of them died instantly, but fortunately the other guy knew what he was doing. Finally conquered all bosses. After 65 hours I think I'm finally ready for NG+.

Mirror Knight round 2, and I die without doing any damage to the boss. What am I doing wrong here? His attacks are slow and predictable, but, i can't dodge them at all. I dodged every other boss just fine, but, MK hits me every time. Does he have some kind of weird tracking?
After completing Infamous Second Son on the PS4, I decided to get back to Dark Souls II.
And I finally found the first boss and killed it with my puny sorcerer dude. Got my attunement up to 25 already too.
But I think I've been missing some stuff here and there. I know there's supposed to be the dude that owns the big house somewhere in the Forst of Giants. But I have not encountered him.

Finally got the Alonne great bow now half of iron keep is empty in the process I got this stuff:
- Captain helmet X 4
- Alonne Knight helmet X 4
- Captain armor
- Alonne Knight armor X 3
- Alonne gauntlets X 6
- Alonne leggings X 3
- Full ironclad set
- Iron clad helmet X 3
- Blacksteel katana X 8
Try to dodge toward his sword hand, not his shield.

You will do if you look around. It requires a jump.
mh, today I just replaced Vengarls armor with Velstadt's one. it's not really a big difference and if there isn't nothing really better than those I guess that's it.
about bonuses, is there anything great? So far I've only seen +attunement slots and + maxweight, nothing else.

Investigate some more around the area close to the Second bonfire in the Forest where you have tons of dudes shooting arrows at you.
Other notable loot is a Titanite Slab and White Sign Soapstone. Did you get these?
Excellent, I think I know the area you have in mind. Thanks for the pointer.
I definitely got the Soapstone (from

I think doing the NPC in boss fights trophies in NG+ is probably too hard, i'll just start a new character for those two trophies. Has anyone done those two trophies in ng+?
At last, I am prepared. Let's do this.
I did this just now. So glad I finally got it to work. Put on the sinner's mask, my other best fire resist gear and +2 fire def ring. Activated flash sweat and munched an elizabeth shroom. Barely managed to open the chest. Tense.
Yes, it's not hard at all actually. Got them both in NG+ Wearing the red eye ring helps a lot, as does the bonfire ascetic trick (beating 1 boss multiple times also counts). I didn't even have to use the ascetic trick for Jugo, just the red eye ring.

So, are we all in agreement that those goddamn triple Halberd spins are OP?
Spin to win, indeed.

Heh, I don't play too much online, but I've been using Vengarl's set since I got it. I only swapped it out for the Jester set for the last boss [dat curse resist].

Haha, perfect. Thanks for the gif.
What's in there a greatsword or something not worth it?

Man everyone kept saying the late-game in this was great, I didn't care for most of it. From a visual standpoint the areas towards the end were nice, but
was the last area I truly enjoyed playing through.
, all were kind of a drag to play through from a gameplay perspective.
Drangleic Castle
Shrine of Amana, Undead Crypt, Dragons Aerie/Shrine, and the Memories
For 29 vit + 3rd dragon ring it's Drakekeeper armor imo. Yields the best defense while staying under 70%. Rather close tho, can't use a heavy weapon AND a great shield. Looks hella stylish on top. Otherwise, it's fashion souls. Just equip what you like and keeps you in fast roll.
Btw, the drakekeeper shield that drops is ridiculous. It may be even better than Defender Shield.
Chaos Firestorm
Best way to strengthen the
? Does it scale with STR and DEX? It looked so cool, I couldn't pass it up.
Scythe of Want
Nashandra, while not that tough, has an incredible design (as lot of the other late game bosses). She has a H.R. Giger vibe to it. All of the designs in this game are god-tier.

Thanks for the tip, this totally worked (just barely)!
Yeah, mashing on the A button as the chest was opening was damn tense. I just barely managed to grab the item before dying. In fact, it was so close that I didn't see what item I actually got after all those deaths trying.
I'll leave that where it is then.
before opening the chest, you can also just chuck an estus flask. On the way there you can also use an elizabeth mushroom to almost negate any damage. But yeah, the vases are the key factor here.

Haha, yeah, it wasn't really worth it, but leaving a chest unopened just feels wrong.

Yeah, I tried an Estus Flask chug on a previous attempt and died mid-way through it, which made me nervous about doing it again. With the right timing, that's probably the safer route, though.

I agree about everything other than
Undead Crypt.
Which I probably only liked because it was relatively simple.
The Memories
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
That's really nothing. Uchis in Demon's Souls had more phantom range than this and were shorter, and mirdan hammers (and other poles) and claymores were even worse.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.
If it's not a greatsword or a whip it can stay on that lava till it melts. I'm more interested in souls so I can by greatbow arrows instead.

The lag is still a problem with PvP and probably will be for all eternity; especially with the ease that you can be stun-locked into oblivion. It's a shame, really. Whenever I get a backstab, I can't help but think how incongruent it would have looked on their screen half the time, just as it does on mine when I'm the victim.

Ganking in Iron Keep? Sad.

This is what i also did for some of the bosses in NG+. And getting another player to join as well, its not that hard indeed.
There's a way to jump down and skip like 3/4ths of the run, so it's worth it. It's a good Pyromancy!
Hey, I did my fair share of ladle pvping and later switched to Moonlight Butterfly Armor with a whip. While it is incredibly douchey to gank, I tried to make it as minimal as possible and I took no pleasure in doing it.
Still not bothered pyromancy isn't as fun as a claymore or a great bow is really to me.

I just got to the Dragon Aerie and was shocked to find dragons flying around all over the place. Was that picture showing no dragons in the area from the "Oh no the graphics!" thread just bullshit? Like, were people straight up lying about it? That's pretty upsetting.
I'm a mainly melee build with a bow on the side, but I still find Pyromancy extremely useful. Besides, the entry barrier for it isn't that bad to just use it, but to get really high damage off it you'll need to level some stuff a bit.
I don't remember if people said the dragons were gone. If they did, they probably complained because there were a lot more dragons flying around the bridge (and one that could kill you) in the preview build that aren't in the final build. I even saw a dragon in that gif people always link.
wait, where can you see the number of deaths?
In PvE maybe. In PvP it's complete shit. It's too predictable and easily blockable. If you rely on it a lot, you'll just get burnt.
Speaking of PvP, the Avelyn crossbow is hilarious in PvP when upgraded. It fires three fast bolts and is pretty powerful. The downside is that once you fire, you're open for a few seconds. Some people can predict it and block it too. But if you can surprise people with it, it's awesome.
It requires 25 Strength so it's nice for a Strength build. Str builds are awesome though. Powerful in PvE, and in PvP I can use Havel's greatshield for 45 strength with ridiculously good resists. Infuse that shit with magic, then laugh at mages. The Avelyn can be used to surprise mages too.
Mastodon Greatsword is a great strength weapon in PvP too. It scales A in Strength. The Halberd is powerful in PvE, but not so good in PvP.
Playing smart, I just tear people apart in PvP. Strength build is too good. I love the guard break action too.

Dragon Shrine was one of my favorite places in the game. Awesome setting.
Dude shouldn't be running anyways. I never heal myself, so I punish people with Avelyn when they run away and do it. One guy ran away further in and was healing himself with that Pyromancy spell and I took him down with the Avelyn.
If you go offline and check the statue with worldwide deaths it will only show yours.
Never heal, yeah, I'd rather take the death than heal. Makes me sad when people do so, and totally breaks the pacing of the fight. I do get some easy punishes, but when people run away and hide behind enemies, I find it lame.

It sure is great. This game is so good, and it just keeps going. I legitimately feel the purest form of pity for the people who are refusing to play this game because of some hyped up graphics controversy.

I love Pokken!
I may or may not be focusing on only upgrading katanas.
My man, i'm definitely doing a Zoro run soon.
