Heides Tower of flame also seems to have an abundance of 'gank squads' - full teams just waiting for people to invade them. Few times last night got summoned into the same trio (once 2x in a row).
Another time - summoned into a group of ladies wearing witches gear / desert outfits, cracking whips, throwing urns and had a twinkly-light lightshow going on with those prism things that you can drop.
Actually made me laugh though - made for quite the site to spawn into - bunch of duel-whipping witches and a light show.
Shrine of Amana is just evil to invade in.

How in the world do I get Mad Warrior to spawn? I've got a delicate string, and in the bell keepers. 12x i've rested and not seen him once.

None that are better than an infused Mastodon Halberd/Greatsword.
Haha, if Amana does what Amana does I should be able to just stand there and get my victories without lifting a finger. I got an invasion there last night while I was invading Heide's and I spawned right in the middle of the 3 Archdrake guys flanked by two priestesses. I just stood there and let nature take its course.

Can summon there, can just be tricky - I've done it as a host, and as a phantom for someone else. Just your signs tend to disappear quickly if you are about to get invaded.
Very cool, thanks a lot!

is the Mad Warrior spawn not supposed to work? This is fucking stupid. 20x in a row resting at a bonfire and he STILL has not spawned. This is so stupid. It's literally fucking impossible to get the armor and weapon. Why would from do soemthing so stupid and make it such an absurdly low drop-rate and make him never fucking spawn/

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to use a bonfire ascetic? He wont fucking spawn.

I ended up levelling about 9 times going through the
with enemies who drop a lot of souls, RoLP, constant deaths (intentional and unintentional), and exploration. And I still have to defeat
Went through that first section so many times, they stopped respawing. What's the point of the balista
?

Smelter, the main boss, and get to the chest in the room with the collapsing platforms

behind the illusory wall
To hit one of them with it. Pointless.

There's another illusory wall just in front of it, which points directly at a knight's back. Pretty fun to use, but still by that stage you're probably better off backstabbing him.

Ha, I stood there for about a minute firing it into the wall to see if it would do anything
Don't use bonfire ascetic. That won't increase the spawn rate and only makes enemies tougher. Try offline? I remember him spawning more frequently when I was offline.

im offline.

You can kill all 3 enemies in that room with it by pulling them in 1 by 1.

This is so fucking stupid. How are people able to constantly get him to spawn? HOW? I;m convinced now I'm cursed with unluck.

Maybe or I'll go stir crazy.
If you rest more than once at the bonfire in a row you may have missed his spawn. You have to rest, check, rest check. And keep every item find you have on.
I have to say you're quite the typical Dark Souls player. "OMG This is cheap! I can't do this! WAHHHH!" and then "WOW that was easy, game is a joke." Like ad infinitum.
Meet me in Drangleic, bro.

Agreed. Same with Manus and Kalameet. They were more fun and dynamic fights than this run like a bitch all the time zzz.
So you did spell it correctly after all. -)wow...I guess I'm ahead of schedule, because I only beat 3 bosses while still on my 1st playthrough, and I'm at sl 74.
Been using the Tower Shield for now (I wanted the Gyrm Greatshield for Smelter, but ended up getting bored of farming and receiving only boots and gloves so I took him out without it
), and in highly poisonous places I swapped it out for the Old Knight Greatshield since it blocks poison at 80% (same weight too).Joke post? Joke post.
Funny Lucatiel anecdote: I was phantoming for a friend who says he wants to do the Lucatiel sidequest for her gear. So far she survived his Flexile and Sinner. So he gets her a few times for Smelter. First time, both died. Second time, she took a lava bath before he even entered the fog. He sent me back, rested at bonfire to respawn her sign, got us both back. But she never entered the fog. Then he died. Again, same thing happens, she doesn't enter the fog and my friend dies. Summons us again, but she dies very quickly and he dies shortly after. So he decides to wear that aggro ring... no help, she dies again (and so does he). When he finally did survive the boss, Lucatiel died when Smelter had a sliver of HP left. Hahaha.
Him: "If she dies at Sinner too, I'm gonna kill her for her gear". XD Actually I was wondering, if she doesn't survive 3 fights, does she still appear at

If I'm negative I succeed. Optimism is for fools.
you need to kill the other npcs before afaik.
Are you in the bell keepers covenant? I think you need to be. Besides that, he is truly rare so you just gotta accept it. Its not like you need the armor for a trophy or anything....
Negativity is what carried me through the game.

My name is not "alim give up nassor". I refuse to give up.
Yup. I'm not sure if there are any special restrictions, but I do it all the time. At your level, skeleton lords is probably a good boss to help people with.

I might be wrong, but i'm not sure if the delicate string has any effect offline. That red phantom just respawn randomly. Sometimes i had to go to the bonfire maybe around 10 times before he respawned, other times he respawned several of times in a row with just one or two rests at the bonfire.
EDIT: Fixed a typo.
Yup, it doesn't matter anymore. Beating bosses in coop also helps you become human again without using an Effigy.
I never said give up. I said he's rare - like, freals - so pepper your angus. Some people have to farm him 4+ hours to get him to drop stuff.
What do you mean?
How?
Your friend's damage sucks then
she only had to keep him on her for a couple of minutesSometimes you lose all your souls upon death. Sometimes, you lose your souls and go hollow. Sometimes you just go hollow.
Naw, that's not at all what I mean.
I've never had those issues...always comes through for me.

Are you in the Bell covenant?
You are fortunate, then. Quite a few people have expressed this issue.
You sure you weren't cursed? They don't protect against that. As lso that ring doesn't protect against petrifry
Oh fuck this shit. Another phantom invade. He was sporting a dual sword build like me.
So I thought awesome, a true fight. I bow to begin, to show a sense of sportsmanship.
HE THEN PROCEEDS TO SWITCH TO THOSE GANK SHIT BOLT MACHINE GUN AVELINS AND FIRES AWAY.
I didn't even try and evade. I just went into the praise the sun gesture.

"The real Dark Souls Begins Here"
While it hasn't happened to me yet, I always have that thought in the back of my mind while greeting a dueler. Pretty lame of them.
Leading screens are the punishment. Lol.
I stopped using mine for most part. Except when I have like 400k on me.
I'm pretty sure they've acknowledged a fix for it in upcoming patch.
Yea, I'm sure. I'm dying at the Flexile Sentry, and his lackies on NG+.
Awesome.
In DS1 they were 5000 a pop and he only sold 10 of them so yeah, I abuse it a lot in DS2. I'm betting it will be patched.
Is there anything to combat this as a melee no shield player? Str/dex build no magic. Other then grinding to use the AVELINS myself?

I agree. It's a useful tool, and I think being able to repair it is a fair trade-off for the fact that those lost souls would have counted towards your soul memory and the fact that co-op no longer restores humanity. Just make it more expensive, something you only use when you're going in with tons of souls as opposed to an ever-present insurance policy. Repair cost would be fair at 10,000+ souls I think.

Are you talking about The Mad Warrior? He can take AGES to spawn. I've had gaps of 20-30 trips up and down that fucking ladder before he would spawn. Try going back to Majula and quitting, then try again.
Trust me, after 5 days, I'm something of an expert
