EHE, EHEHEHEHE.
Many kill. Many thanks.
EHE, EHEHEHE.
Edit: Totally forgot to say I 100% agree about the boss. Besides the opening of the fight, I find that boss infinitely less interesting than Sif both visually and mechanically.
Did you get Forbidden Sun, Chaos Storm, Crystal Soul Spear and Soul Geyser?
you can use a magic oriented melee weapon if you want, that's what I'm doing just to mix it up. (currently using the Moonlight Greatsword)

Yup. I wondered why I couldn't explore up top where the Sif knockoff was napping.
oh well, 13kk SM, that's the point in the game where you decide to create a new character. it's probably not the lack of people online, also you can play co-op/pvp with anyone, even if you are ng+ and the other guy is ng+++.
emailing this to FromSoft, Favlan confirmed for the dlc.

Just beat Old Iron King. Getting some missed items in the area. Are the items in the chest on the lava somes worth the effort? I have full Smelter set, flame quartz and flash sweat and I still die instantly. I got the phoenix pharma, but the longer path is destroying me.
Hopefully they address this, because I'm planning on playing on the same character for a while.
The chest in the lava where all of the floating platforms are has chaos firestorm pyromancy.
Chaos Storm is one of them.
roll on the vases (they're filled with water), it'll increase your resistance significantly.

Dang, I want that. I have so much fire resistance and I'm still dying - what gives?

The longest path to a chest leads to the
Chaos Storm
Fire Seed.
Also, I assume you know to roll around in water to pretty much slow lava damage to Charred Orange Ring levels temporarily?
In the room where the chest you want is, pull the lever, climb the ladder, and there should be
5 vases full of water. Roll into each and roll around in the resulting puddles. You can check and make sure it's working if you leave watery footprints. If you've got this status effect on you, you don't even really need fire resistance (I did it with really low fire resistance and no special consumeables/rings related to fire resistance).
Gotta get that water buff. Roll through the water vases up the ladder in that area.

They were complete badasses that wrecked your shit and looked cool while doing it. Golden bros who were so tight, it didn't matter if one died. Dat music, dat majesty, dat sense of achievement. You learned to hate Ornstein & Smough before realizing you loved them.
Also use flash sweat and then roll in the water. Helped me a lot. Also used an orange burr.

How long does the water buff last? I feel like by the time I get back down there it wears off?

It's maddeningly inconsistent. I simply rolled through all 5 without spending any time in the puddles they left and the buff lasted me over a minute. My roommate tried the same and he didn't even make it to the fire.
So he tried wallowing in the puddles a bit. No status effect. I suggested that somehow his game had glitched and to go to Majula and back. He did that, and first try after that, his buff lasted more than enough time as well. Before the trip back to Majula, he wouldn't even leave footprints immediately after rolling into them.
she's (was) in the Black Gulch!
Yes! Behind an illusionary wall roughly in the mid of the stairs leading to the equipment breaking room

Did you exhaust all her dialog when you met her?
If yes:
Did you meet Lucatiel at N

Always, always talk to her until she repeats the same thing over and over. Also, do not talk to her when she appears at the location you're in now unless you've co-oped successfully with her 3 times if you want the trophy/her gear without killing her. She will vanish from your game for good at that point.
And no, there's no bonfire IN there. There is a bonfire on the stairs leading down to it though, hidden by an illusory wall.
Edit: Just double checked for you. It doesn't matter what order you meet her in. You just have to exhaust her dialog at the first four locations I mentioned before she'll appear at the last one.

Ok, awesome! The pots worked - I got Chaos Storm and the Phoenix Parma. Is there another lava chest in Iron Keep?

Iron Keep's first section is the community selected dueling zone, so most of the signs you'll see are for duels. If you want to summon for co-op, the best place early in Iron Keep is the walkway right outside the optional boss's fog door. Usually packed with friendly summon signs.
Of course, I was only in the dragon covenant for 5 minutes to turn in the Dragon Scales I'd collected from duels, so I dunno if there is some kind of friendly co-op restriction.
No, but did you get the
fire seed
Well, not chests, but items thrown around at the beginning of the area.
There's a Human Effigy directly next to the bonfire IIRC.

Yep, got that one. I think I got everything here now. Thanks, everyone!
Why would I want to create a new character? I like this character. I want to keep playing as this character. Plus I still need to get all spells.
Having to create a new character is not a solution and doesn't fix this annoying issue. Even if I stayed lv 100, I would still have this issue.

Speaking of dueling, has the community settled on a soul level range for the moment?

I'm at dragon shrine approaching ancient dragon.
One thing that's pissing me off is that I was told that if I cleared the area before bridge of the three dragons, the enemies here would be easier but I'm still getting killed by these two sphinx or whatever at the stairs going up to AD.
Was just looking for phantom help is all
My mistake, I thought you were saying you were in I

Petrified Egg.
Any way, I dunno what to tell you. I wasn't looking for summon signs when I did my few runs to the AD so I'm not sure where people normally put their signs for that area.
I will say that I ended up working out a mostly fool proof path of just sprinting to the fog door without getting touched after a couple runs.

I;m at the Dragon Rider. I miss being powerful. lets hope it becomes fun soon.
150 was decided pretty early and seems to stick.

Of course. I'll have a short vid up for you soon, if you end up having problems running up without taking damage.
Beat the game late last time including optional bosses and clocked in 90hrs (easily 30-40hr of those were dedicated to PVP) at level 130. I loved everything about the game, and as the majority stated, it just keeps on getting better and better.. and then just amazingsauce as you go further. I'm sure its due to being a part of launch day, but DS2 easily tops DS1 for me. The community for both PVE and PVP, open world, lore, varied environments, plentiful fun bosses, and obvious lore/boss/item throwbacks from DS1 are just spectacular. Covenant rewards could use some tweaking however. Anywho, time to put in another 100hrs on NG+! Gogogogo

This is really a huge grind early game mage. By the time I get to the boss I've wasted all my spells.
I love how Iron Keep bridge has become the "de facto" PvP area for the community
Heidi Tower first bonfire is working its way of being the 2nd one. I thought Heidi woild have been a hot spot from the getgo but I guess people are now starting to mark the territories...atleast in NG+

Gotta stock up on the herbs, brah.
Herbs + buy the high end spells twice (or more).

herbs being slang for marijuana? No thanks. That shit is illegal.

WAIT, did you get the Dull Ember? I missed it when I was there somehow
Haha, yes I did! Thanks!
Some other ques:
- I got the Thorns ring from killing Pate, I don't really notice it activating/helping. Is it more for PVP?
- Where's the Dragon covenant?
Ah. Nice catch. That's probably the most likely scenario.

Lol. I completely underestimated the final file size of a 2 minute video recorded at 720p on a smart phone in conjunction with how low my wi-fi upload speed is. Should've moved it to my desktop before uploading but it's already 10% in so I'll just let it go.
You'll probably have the game finished before it's even finished uploading, but I'll go ahead and keep uploading so I can link it if someone else needs help running up to the AD without fighting at all.

I just beat Iron Keep, about to drop down the hole in Majula. Did I pass Dragon Shrine?

Yeah. I don't know how it compares to the other games, since i never played pvp in the other souls titles, but the lag is trully annoying in this one. Most of the time i hit people and nothing happens, or they somehow hit me even if they're not even close, and sometimes they appear at my back out of nowhere. This is getting trully annoying. Just today i died like 6 times or more in a short time because of these kinds of things.
My connection is pretty good and stable, but it doesn't help. At least the co op seems to be working fine for me.

Ring of Thorns has a percentage chance to activate, and only if you're hit from the front of your body.
Ring of Thorns
Not even close, my friend. That area is literally one of the last places in the game.
Edit: My percentages were way the fuck off. They're 30%/50%/70% respectively. My apologies. Still, please don't rely on it for damage in PvE.
