Inside the big fog gate? Fuck's sake, I boned home cos I was carrying like 36,000 souls
There's a bonfire in the room before the main boss. The one with the fire statues. The ladder is on the left. It's easy to miss

There is no official way. It's the same as Demon's Souls. The Mirror Knight boss will grab random people who have their red sign/use cracked red eyes in the appropriate area for that boss.
There's no special place to put it, no "Looking Glass" sign to put down. Just put your red sign down near the boss door and you'll eventually get in.
So close to getting platinum in this game. Already have one big boss soul. Going after
tonight hoping I'll have enough souls to open
. All I need is the last remaining spells. Really can't wait until I can use that lightning AoE spell.
Wonder how often I'll get invaded tonight.

Have you met Bowler?

That is awesome, I look forward to trying this out some. nice touch using all the Glass Knight equipment.
I was so anxious to get the last spells I needed for the platinum, I used the 1.00 patch glitch to get to

Just finished it \o/
SL119/56h. Brignat build isn't optimized and is somewhere along those lines:
DEX 46
STR 30 (for the curved dragon sword)
ADP 20 (that's the last stat I increased, a guy who helped me told me it would help with my rolls, I was at 8 or something)
END 40
And a few points in VIT
As weapons, I went kinda early with a +7 Rapier, useful to poke behind a shield even though the hit boxes were weird and I missed often.
I found the Ricard's Rapier and put it to +10 with the S scaling in DEX it was yummy.
For long I was with a short bow until I found McDuff and bought him the long bow that I put to +7. Then at
I could find the Hunter's Black Bow, pretty cool (better range even than the long bow).
And the Curved Dragon Sword to beast through a few late bosses (pursuer that I missed in the forest didn't like it much)
About shields, I missed the leather shield and the drangleic shield in the forest; the first 100%PHY I had required 26 STR so it fucked me and I had to allocate points in STR rather than INT / FAI / ATT (I wanted to be able to cast a few things because even in the first DS game I was a pure melee guy).
For armor sets I stayed for a very long time with the brigand one I had at the start (weight/performance ratio was good). At the beginning of the last bonfire
I found in a chest the Judgment Set which has been a slight improvement of the Brigand one. And then at the very end I found the all transparent one, pretty good (especially to compensate with the weight of the dragon sword, half of the rest of my equipment 
).
Playstyle? I did almost everything with the help of others. I loved that aspect, I hadn't used it much in the first game but that was really great to cooperate and find a few darksoulsbros willing to help when you're stuck on a boss.
Now onto the 1000G.
AND PRAISE THE SUN.

oki, does anyone know for sure?
I guess it's time to grind some Bell Keepers, for getting rank 2 does it count if you kill grey phantoms that invade you or just hots?

What's a good shield for a strength build?

Still on Smelter. Died 20 times. Tried co-op, solo, heavy, rolling, blocking, magic enchanted ultra greatsword, pine resin - everything.. Now I'm at half HP with no effigies in sight and 0 souls. I know that bitch is optional but I want to take him out. On the bright side I've basically despawned everything in the Iron Keep. Fuck....
Have you tried the Gyrm Greatshield?

Got a Gyrm Greatshield?
Just hosts and red phantoms that invade your game. There is NPC red phantom spawn in Belfry Sol so I would recommend to go there to grind.

At work so I can't look at the names of my shields, but I'm going to say no. What/where is it?
Did you try summoning Lucatiel? She's a boss tank!
You don't need the shield, I killed him wearing nothing. (my stamina sucks)
Hey Silent Chief
I find it odd so many people have trouble with him. Most of his moves are largely telegraphed making dodging easy. Although I haven't tried him completely alone, by myself, I've always had at least 1 summon with me and I've co-oped him dozens of times helping others kill him and I've only died to him once, the first ever time where I was surprised killed by his
exploding fire aura move.

Having finished blind, I'm now looking for top PVE build guides so I can finish off NG+ and trophies. Then I'mma try SL 1 runs.
Anyone know where I can find such templates ?

It's a big ass shield dropped by the dwarves in Doors of Pharros. It blocks 100% fire and physical.
I got that shield late game and it's pretty awesome.

I've basically memorized his pattern and everything by now but once he starts dealing out fire damage I usually take a hit or two and with half HP it goes down pretty damn fast.
I''m at lvl 93. Not sure on the soul memory.

There's a ring you should have that reduces the hollow HP penalty so you can have 75% HP.

I...I made it, I finally defeated
, Now I want to rest and finally clear DoP but still I am in a need for a new staff.
Also I was trying some pyromancies and used inmolation and the heal spell on the Emerald herald and she got mad at me =c

I thought you meant you put resources into your build to use it.

If you don't have the Gyrm Greatshield, you can up your fire defense. Flame Quartz ring, orange burr, flash sweat and even take a dip
in the water from the Pharro's Lockstone just a hop-skip-jump away.
Get the pyromancy spell flash sweat. It will greatly reduce the fire damage you take. Do you not have the ring of binding? It's a necessity.
Also help some other people beat bosses, which will turn you human, then summon people and let them do the work on old smelty.

I can still use the white summon sign while hollowed????
I see.
does someone know an easy spot/way to grind those items to replenish spells uses? I know that you can buy them but iirc it's 4k per item so they're not really cheap.
the tower shield with a fire infusion blocks about 90% of fire based damage. it's what I used because the dwarves or whatever in Doors of Pharos didn't drop Grym Greatshield.

This is incorrect. The foggy part of the woods is not where he needs to go, he needs to go the opposite way, the left of the bonfire there when coming from Majula.
Smelter sword is fun, has bad STR scaling but a high requirement and does good physical damage, and does fire damage that will scale with FTH
Thank goodness for that shield...
