OK, thought it might be a jump for that gap, wasn't sure. Anyone know what it is? The item next to pyro chick, not the jump down item.

I remember it being something not really worth the couple times some people might die to get it or die trying to get your souls back after falling one way or the other. Just hug the wall when you try and make the jump.
 
Yep, they seem pretty easy overall except the ones where you have to grind covenants, i hate online trophies. Also i learned that you can farm wins for the bell covenant by killing the ninja dude in belfry sol.
You can max out the Bell Keeper covenant offline. Just kill that
red phantom that randomly spawns in Belfry Sol.
It can take a really long time though, but its possible to do it offline at least.

EDIT: Lol, no idea how i missed your last sentence, your basically saying the same that i said there, sorry :) But yeah, you can do it offline by killing that guy =)

Pretty sure it was a poison broadsword and....some arrows maybe?

*Edit*

Sorry, didn't read correctly, forget what the pyro chick item was. Nothing awesome.
 
So he's a merchant with unique items, but tries to kill you? If you kill him when he invades can you still find him/purchase items from him?
it's more complicated than that. you should try to talk to him as human and as hollow.
but yeah, even if you
kill him when he invades you can still find him at the same place.
 
So I'm at the beginning of the game at the Lost Bastille...no way i'll beat these bosses.
I think I went the same route as you. Beat first two bosses, got to Bastille and then got stuck at the boss for days.

I eventually beat it without going anywhere else first. There wasn't any real secret that I found about that boss,
except I found an extra weapon in the same Bastille area that greatly helped my DPS when it was two-handed
. After that it was just a lot of rolling and hoping I killed them before
the second and third guys truly ganged up and
killed me.
 
FINALLY, fuuuuuck you Covenant boss, FINALLY! Wasted around 25 effigies to get to him, and of course I end up finishing him off with a classic melee encounter instead of Swathe'ing him to death. Right as I hit him with my final blow, one fireball hits me and should have killed me, but I remained alive for some strange reason, PHEW. My heart was pounding like hell.

Gotta love those moments, right? :)
 
I don't remember what the pyromancer was guarding, but the chest behind the locked door by Pate is a Great Soul Arrow. If you drop further down there's a Lightning Spear I think (or Great LS), and from there you can make a jump to that item in the picture and it's a Poison Broadsword and a Human Effigy. But that jump is a bitch to nail, because of the narrow space of the landing platform. Your character usually tucks into a roll after a jump and I kept rolling off the ledge or missing the jump altogether by trying to angle it so she wouldn't roll off.
So you need to find the exact angle where your character will reach the platform and not roll off. I don't think I'm bothering with that jump ever again, to be honest. :P

in Dark Souls 1 people keep their Sl low so they can invade you with basic equipment with lightning/fire.

Now in Dark Souls 2 you can do the same thing, you simply need to not kill normal enemy but go directly to the boss and you can stay in low SM.
But you can't get infinite cracked eye orbs in NG, and if you invade often and win, you'll gain souls which will increase your SM so you can't invade at low levels forever.

That's the Leydia Black Robe,
I have the Leydia White Robe but where's the black?

Hey From, don't use an enemy model from the first game as an NPC in the second. Thanks.

Yes, I killed Ornifex and I'm pissed.
Racist! XD

The biggest punishment for using it is having to travel back to a smith everytime you die which adds two more of these long ass loading times to every death. :P
I'd rather risk my souls than deal with that honestly.
Same, until I got to NG+ and got quite a few copies of those rings. Now I only warp every 8 deaths or so... XD

Man...even your allies are jerks in this game. My character, "Valor Morghulis" helped beat that big knight, who was dropped off by that big bird..anyway, after I beat him, I waved farewell to the ally who I was fighting with, he then shot me with the catapult. It killed me instantly. After all that hard work, I didn't get any souls for beating that boss. Aghhh.
Normally I would say "what a jerk", but maybe he wanted to punish you for misspelling Valar Morghulis? :D

I'm joking, obviously other players can't see your character's name, just your PSN ID. But I couldn't resist. Also, what a fitting name for this game! :D

Is there any reason TO pull the lever?
None that I can see... you lose on the sidequest AND you get invaded constantly.
Yes, you get an Awestone each time you kill him if you're in the Company of Champions.
Hmm, I suppose there is that.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. Found a few in places for obvious potential illusory walls, with high ratings, but nothing happens
Troll messages. If there's a real illusory wall, reading the message won't block you from unveiling it.

Another point of contention is that the trophies in the games have nothing to do with the difficulty that the games are touted as having. It's simply a lot of time consuming tasks to gather all the items in the game. How about "clear the game while in the Company of Champions"?
All Souls games are like that. Remember "Get all unique weapons", "Max out a Cloudstone upgrade"? Zzz.

If you were really getting old and grumpy you'd start ignoring trophies like I did years ago.
^5

Every trophy should involve farming pure bladestone. It's the only way to know who the true Souls players are.
Haha, I actually farmed that... but not for the trophy. I had a dex build and wanted an uchi+5, dammit!

So, finally managed to down the Suspicious Shadows, but they didn't even drop anything...

Eh? The Suspicious what?
 
Getting real sick of every invader being twinked out on Havels armor and using pyromancy hexes to basically 1 shot me.

Was in Aldias keep and had a naked fist fight with an invader. I was in the equip break pool, he came in with me. We were naked and it was fun. 2 naked men playing in the water.
 
Really do not care that the bell keepers can keep coming when you are already invaded by one. Kinda cheap tbh.
Hah, on my new characters, here's what I did:
- With my mage, I just speed ran the whole thing. The area is very short, and I got invaded right as I crossed the fog, which instantly sent the invader back. As a frequent Bell invader myself I know how annoying that is, haha. But it's part of the risk, I guess. :P Got the
Gargs
first try with my mage. Pew pewing from a safe distance really makes the game trivial at times.
- With my new str build, I simply played that area during the server maintenance the other day, so I was completely offline. :D Got the boss 1st try as well. With lightning resin and my mace, they went down in 3 hits each so it was very manageable.

Interestingly, when completely offline in Belfry Luna,
you get invaded by an NPC "Bell Keeper", hahaha. Awesome. I have to try it in Belfry Sol too to see if it happens.
 
It's in
Undead crypt, the female spellcasters between the Grave Warden and the first bonfire drop it.
Oh, a fucking drop. Meh, okay. I'll find something nice for my mage eventually.

Right now she's wearing Desert Priestess Hood*, Desert Priestess Skirt, Penal Handcuffs (for the pyro boost, though not sure how significant it is... does upgrading it increase the strength of pyros or just its defense stat?), and the Drangleic Armour. With its red cape, it compliments the red desert priestess skirt and hood very nicely. She looks like a kick-ass Warrior Queen Sorceress. -)

* It gives +3 int, and I wear the Ring of Knowledge (+5 int), so at 32 int I have access to spells requiring 40 int. Not bad for mid-game. I'm sure I'll find better hoods or rings later, but right now it's pretty nice.
 
Finally made it to
Drangleic Castle
. I must say, this is atmospherically one of the coolest area's in any Souls game. Gonna be fun to explore this area.
 
Any tips for
Guardian Dragon
? He just keeps flying and spewing fire everywhere. I can't ever hit him because he rarely stays on the ground.
 
So wait, the reward for a rated message is just slight health (20%?) ? I must have put one that's popular in Lost Bastille somewhere, I've been getting rewards every time I log in since day 1. While generally always having full health so I never noticed. Assumed it was hidden stat like temporary increased luck or something. Lame!
 
it's more complicated than that. you should try to talk to him as human and as hollow.
but yeah, even if you
kill him when he invades you can still find him at the same place.

No matter how much I talk to him as a human he won't sell me stuff. Do you have to complete his quests first in hollow form before he will sell you stuff in human form?
 
How do you switch between different sets of arrows when you have your bow drawn? You can equip two sets at a time but it doesn't say how to change.

L1 for primary and L2 for secondary... or R1/R2 if you have it equipped on the other hand.
 
So can anyone else confirm that soul vessel farming has been addressed by FROM? I was really looking forward to testing various builds and nuances.
 
I started a new character, mostly going to use bows but I'd like some decent daggers. Although it seems there aren't many good DEX daggers, at least not early on.

lol. Thanx.....on second inspection, I spelled it right (just wrong in this thread)
