If you havnt finsihed the bosses in that area, you can spawn at the first bonfire. Then instead of going to one of the bosses, go up to that room instead. I've gone some coop in that area, it works fine.

Heh, just had an interesting PVP experience. Was in Harvest Valley, attempting the area where you get ambushed by four butchers. By utilizing the environment to divide and conquer I had gotten rid of one of them and gotten down the health of some of the others when I got the message that someone had invaded. I panicked because I didn't want to lose my progress in that area. I hurried to get rid of the others and managed to kill one or two more before he arrived. After making his presence known by attacking me, he held back to let me finish the last of the butchers and then he fought me with only his fists. I got him down to low health, but then he switched to two large swords and killed me.
Anyway, no harm done really except for making me burn around 10 lifegems, because I didn't realize on my first attempt that you needed to use those enemies to beat down the walls, and also because I will need multiple attempts until I can get the nearby lizard down anyway.
So, shortly after, the same guy invaded me again. What are the odds? Anyway, this time we were in a safe area. He bowed, I bowed back and then he left an item on the floor. Cautiously I picked it up: 20 radiant Lifegems. Then he bowed and returned to his world.
Thank you, these will come in handy!
This was the first time I have been invaded.

Ugh..Just started and think I'm gonna have to start over.
Just started and made my way through the forest to a spear holding skeleton/dead guy and ended up breaking my dagger...skills are to low to effectively use shit I found and the animation is so slow compared to the dagger and leaves me open to much.
Some reason I feel like this Dark/Demon Souls is the hardest yet. Ive never died this much or had such back luck.

So uh, did Drangleic Castle lose its lighting for anyone else yesterday? I thought I was imagining things with me remembering the place looking a lot better before when I first visited it last week, but I looked through some recorded footage from that time and sure enough it had seen better days. Here's a quickie screen cap of what I mean, but the .gifs show a better comparison:
.GIFs: last week vs yesterday
I wish I could check to see if it was a one-time random bug for me since boning home to a bonfire didn't fix it for me IIRC, but unfortunately I started NG+ and it'll take a while before the gateway to it opens up again. Anyone else experience something similar over there, on Xbox 360 or otherwise?

Even at SL150 meta it's painful to cut out on some stats if you wanna do nice Dex/Faith hybrid. I need that STR for power stance Katanas.
I miss having 25 ADP.

Are we sure that this isn't something like

doubt it, probably just a bug or something like that.
but yeah, rip moon.

I think I'm approaching the end. Today I picked a fight with A
D
. After close to twenty tries, I put him down. I know he's not staged as a gimmick fight like Dragon God in DS or Bed of Chaos in DkS, but functionally I'd say it's the same thing. Only A
takes longer to kill. Oh well. At least he's optional.

Meh, when I finally killed the lizard, his corpse and items fell down the hole

Haha having tons of fun using the Chariot Lance's strong attack. Dat staggering impalement. This game rules. I also got Pursuer's Ultra GreatSword but haven't messed with it yet. Right now I'm in Harvest Valley looking real hard at those windmills.
Really? I feel this 150 meta will be over in a few weeks, it's not really bringing any diversity.

They should patch that like they did in Dark Souls so when you kill the lizard you get the items directly, without having to loot the corpse.

I think it's due the endurance / vitality split and having to take at least some adaptability. Maybe it's just my dual wielding that keeps me from having a satisfying mixed build.
You're rolling with SL125? I'd be interested to see your build.

Nope, I just arrived, shutdown, went back on the next day and it was gone. I wasn't even meant to be there yet.
So it's a bug, maybe the 1.02 patch did this? hopefully they are aware of the problem. :/
On another note today I spent almost 2hrs helping others at the
Dragon Shrine
Ancient Dragon
My builds have been 150 so far but I feel they can pretty much do it all. Never went over 20 end/vig, even wielding heavy str-weapons. Since scaling is kinda shit you can just meet minimum requirements and infuse.
Watching PvP streams people have found so much broken shit already. I just started building my own broken toon, have a few ideas.

I thought something looked a bit "Off" when I got there a couple days ago. I hope From is aware and working on the fix. Seeing how it is supposed to look vs what I saw for my first time arriving feels like I was cheated out of a really cool moment.

Where I can find gear for increasing the drop drape apart from the prisioner head and chest pieces?
Ah the milfanito song make that area unique and full of lore for me.
Which hand glove are you using? Dark glove es stronger when you are hollow

I think it scales with how much hollow you are. You need to die like 10 times or something for it to reach max scaling.
I can confirm that I immediately noticed this right after installing the patch. I too thought it was some kind of dark anor londo deal going on.

I don't know if there are guantlets or leggings that help. Do you have the Gold Serpent ring? There is a +1 version in Iron Keep. Also, use the Rusted Coins if you are farming something in particular.
I thought I gain damage when with scaling, I lose damage when human? If so, I guess I should upgrade my regular pyromancy flame because I'm rarely hollow. Or extremely hollow, at least.

Or it's intentional #downgradeaton
Do you get any online action at 260?
plenty. I'm also in NG++. Some areas do feel populated, but in more popular areas, I'm summoned or summoning quite often.
Online action is done by SM, not SL I believe. So being SL 100 wouldn't matter, as I'd still have the same Soul Memory. (increases even if you don't level up)

So, I am now a sunbro.
Praise the sun! in short Praise the sun!!
I agree. The lizards seem to be in much more annoying locations now too. I only found one other lizard (Huntman's Copse) but he was so annoying to kill, that the enemies nearby reached their spawn limit before I finally managed to kill him.

Umm...I just arrived at Lost Bastille for some bellbro action and guess what? no moon here too.
Seriously wtf From? lol.

Yeah, my first assumption was also that it may have had something to do with killing the final boss, but it looks so bad I sincerely doubt it was an intentional change. Plus there isn't any lore significance with regards to the moon, just to be sure. Couldn't have been a downgrade to maintain a playable framerate either, because it was already at a stable 30 frames per second (or higher, given its uncapped nature) with the correct lighting / an actual skybox.
Oh, I noticed this too. I knew I wasn't crazy.

I've talked to both Pate and Creighton twice but they are not fighting at the designated area. What gives ?

Pro-tip: don't bother ever leaving a red sign in Drangleic Castle. You'll either
, or you'll get ganked by some douche and his sunbro douchefriends. Zzz.
get summoned to the Mirror Knight fight, which is kinda cool, but the loading takes forever and even when the music starts you wait another 15 seconds without seeing what's going on then spawn in the middle of the fight

What is an efficient weapon for killing the crystal lizards in this game?
I had the same problem. From what I've understand, you're supposed to talk in Pate in Earthen Peak before you meet Creighton in Shaded Woods. Not sure about that though.

I found the RT move of my Mastodon Halberd to be pretty efficient. So I'd say any Halberd.

That would be super dumb, considering how one can visit many places in any order. Creighton is no longer in Shaded Woods.
Where's Pate?

Im at level 260 too
I get invaded quite a few times at level 260. I also coop'ed with a guy at level 800+. He admitted that he cheated and didnt do PvP with that character, but it seems that the soul level match making is pretty wide, since i could match up with someone that had an a lot higher level than what i was.
Got my first L
G
boss summoned invasion. Too bad for him I have my Wrath of the Gods miracle. Really like that spell. Don't use it that often, as they need to be kinda close for it to hit them.

Nice! I noticed that I get constantly invaded now, even by reds, now that I'm a sinner. This obviously means the invasions target us fellow sinners more than others. Kinda explains why I didn't get as many before.Im at level 260 too

Lightning spear! Long range saves getting attacked while in a rush to kill lizards.

Pate was still in Earthen Peak, last I saw him an hour ago. I exausted his dialogue before taking the treasure (he wasn't saying much), and after getting the treasure, he was saying the same thing (how he didn't have the guts to go get it).
His final dialogue should be something like "Be careful of giving out your trust".
