I don't think I even got everything. Most of my frustration with that area was just missteps, resulting in random falls. Also, having to use a torch so much bothers me (although, I don't mind the mechanic).
Gutter was worst, though.

Finally! The
is no more! That has by far been the toughest boss battle simply due to the fire damage. Since I didn't have enough strength to wield the Gyrm Greatshield, I had to find a decent alternative. Thanks to ENBs latest vid, I picked up the Royal Kite Shield, upgraded it a few times, and infused with fire. This combined with the Flame Quartz +1 ring that you can pick up down in the salmander pit made the difference. Even so, the battle was still a pain in my ass and took several tries. Nothing like dat souls feeling when you overcome.
So GAF, now I'm not really sure as to where I should go next. The bosses I've beaten thus far are as follows:
Any suggestions as to where I should be headed next?

Guys, who do I sell boss souls to with description "acquire souls or perhaps.."?
I just sold galvan one and all he did was thank me
Straid, the petrified NPC in Bastille, and Ornifex, freed from Shaded Ruins and eventually found at the bottom of Brightstone Cove Tseldora.

... You just made a grave mistake. Do not sell those souls.
In these type of areas I just go super slow and question every jump 5 times lol. That's how I deal with it. Also, didn't mind the torch too much because it looks nice when everything is lit up. Rather pleasant.

Special boss weapons and special magic/miracles/pyromancies/hexes.
Follow path of progression past Smelter Demon and that's your next target, also go to the bonfire after Smelter Demon then walk back into the boss room for an optional miniboss
the ladder guy you may have met in Earthen Peak will be back at Majula. Buy a ladder from him, or just buy cat ring and jump down the well. That's next.

I co-op'ed against the Duke's Desr Freja a few dozen times tonight and I have some advice.
First:
you will get all of your summons killed as that will
Second:
Other than that, just carefully manage your distance and take your shots when you can and it's a pretty fun fight. Would have been even more fun if people realized the first bit. I took what I learned from co-op and killed it on my first try, solo. Praise!
First:
if you are a mage or archer and immediately run to the far edge while your summons are trying to clear the tiny spiders
trigger the laser attack which will target the closer PCs first, and they are likely already too busy avoiding bites from the tiny spiders to also dodge the laser.
Second:
always prioritize killing those little jerks. Way easier fight when they are dead.

Heh, it did?
The most important thing I learned when trying to beat this boss is that you should always
run counter-clockwise around the boss, since the laser always goes from the boss' right and sweeps left.
I beat the boss my first try after realizing that
and was killed by one of the smaller spiders right after the boss died.
Yeah, that's also super important, I just could not believe how many times people did #1 and wrecked their chance at success within seconds of the fight starting.

Yea i'm not even bothering with that one. I'll get it from
Chancellor Wellager in NG++
I haven't used it...but probably not.
since you can respec, rather get all the weapons. you'll get enough exp eventually anyway. also souls of hero etc are rather vast.
It's 1/2 the wolf ring as far as poise goes, weighs a ton, and now you need a much larger amount of poise than before for it to be worth a damn. So no.
Figured as much. Considering how poise works (or doesnt) it struck me as a worthless item.
Oh boy! Been working on a NG+ run and now I get to go through S
. Is this going to be an even more painful experience than the first time?
I also did it melee the first time through. I went ahead and upgraded a bow to go through it this time, so I'm hoping I can get this done with quickly.

I did it all melee the first time through, and then finally started using a bow on NG+. Way, way less painful.

Fixed that for you!
I wouldn't say I figured it out by myself. Basically, after being summoned to help people with the boss (before completing it myself), I found that for some of them the
whole arena was flooded with poison
drain the poison
right up to the windmill axle, but there was nothing to do there. I went to investigate again, and that's when I saw a message to "use bonfire". From there it was pretty easy to figure out what to do, and I was only a few steps away from a bonfire anyway, so it was easy enough to check.
All things considered, I think this is pretty much what From intended. Some people would just try everything and stumble on the answer, and others would know there was something they needed to do, but not know the last step to get them there, and the in game messaging system (as well as discussion between players outside the game) would help give people the nudge they needed. Of course there will always be some that would never know there was something to do here, just like there were people who never knew about several of the optional areas and bosses in DS1.

lol, nope, I never would have figured it out if I hadn't seen a message next to the windmill saying "try torch". It was nonsense at the time but after I lost to Mytha the first time I realized there had to be a way to even the odds and that was probably it. Not really cheating - it's how From intended the game to be played.
Who is the vendor who sells fire and poison arrows? Really need some more and can't find a vendor that sells them.
I'm really not a fan of this rat covenant. I'm fine with losing in pvp even if I get 2v1 b/c when you win it feels pretty damn good, but summoning me into the
, using all the traps so I can only stand in a couple of areas and spamming soul arrow at me is fucking lame. Especially when I can't dodge as well in the water ( unless there's some rusted iron ring equivelant I don't know about yet).

Doors of Pharos
If you are at
Doors of Pharos
As for Fire Arrows that's a little trickier.
Basically, you have to petrify a specific enemy in Shaded Woods, and then kill it to get a key. Use that key to open a door in the underground area with all the Basilisks. Talk to the merchant there until you exhaust their dialogue, and then they will move to the area immediately after Doors of Pharos.
As for the Rat Covenant, at least it summons you into their world. So you really have nothing to lose by failing, and it can't keep you from progressing. But yeah, it's not particularly fair, and if someone goes all out with it, it's almost impossible to beat them.

I don't even try to win anymore - just go stand beneath an axe thrower trap and make funny gestures at the host until you're dead. Done, congrats on the Pharros Stone Ratbros. That's not meant to sound bitter. All the fights waste are my time, so I try to waste as little time as possible.
Beat the Lost Sinner on my first attempt in new game+, melee only build solo. And then the pyromancers burnt me alive because lock on targeting decided to go fuck itself for a few seconds. Went back and got my 100k souls. Lost Sinner melee only with pyromancers taking pot shots was some insanely intense shit.

watch put for moe in that area but the real pain is the yaoi
Just found Gavlan. I hope he doesn't move anymore since he already moved on me twice.
Is that
the velka follower
(I believe its called Brightstone?)
When I was messing around with the rat covenant I'd just use the Chameleon spell to hide and never move. Some folks panicked and milled around aimlessly in the spawn point, some tried to clear an area and set a trap for me, some beelined the fog door, and some just endlessly scouted the area looking for PvP action that I had no intention of engaging in.
Nobody checked the statues, though. Even when successive invaders had cleared the place of enemies and they found themselves spawning into an empty world, they never checked the statues.

Yeah after he started spamming soul arrow I just stood there and took it so it could be over with. I think the rat (dog?) killed me with the toxic though.
Only found out about it because someone left a message saying
Torch
who didn't have any poison in the bossroom, and another person who did.

Question: Why can I now see bon fire locations that I can not travel to? They have like a black filter over them and I can scroll and see how many bon fire each area has. I don't remember seeing that at all before.
Also about the looking

I don't know what to upgrade in the future. I have, I think, 40 in HP stat, 20 Stamina, 30 Vigor, 40 Strength, 26 Dexterity, 13 Adp and INT + FTH at minium. My build is melee with a little Pyro.

From what I've read, just use a Red Eye Cracked Orb or Red Sign Soapstone in the area outside of the boss' fog gate, and for the Red Sign Soapstone it'll say
Looking Glass Knight is summoning you
You need to put a
red soapstone mark

freja is such a shit boss for pure melees in ng+. i had to bow her down while the npc summon was distracting her. the players i tried to summon before were all dying.
the shrine boss was more fun. could kill it in melee range without getting hit.
nope. did this earlier without dying. you can summon an npc in the second hut to help you if you wish. there is no major change.

It just takes long, by no means any more difficult than NG.

Earlier I decided to just go to Belfry Luna since I never did go through the area and beat the boss. I summoned a guy before going through the fog door. He died almost instantly. I ended up soloing the hardened fight, dual-wielding. It was a lot of fun but it was intense as hell.
