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).
Did you open that door into the room where Pate is standing? If he says the same before and after you have taken the treasure, maybe there is a bug in the game.

Yeah, I did open that door. I'll boot up the game again after supper and go back there to see if he's still there saying the same thing.
 
Pro-tip: don't bother ever leaving a red sign in Drangleic Castle. You'll either
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

Oh I thought that just my crappy connection!

my workaround is keeping my shield up (during loading) and spamming the roll button + one random direction. :p

yeh i did him over within 30 seconds of seeing him. Soul Geyser and Flame Swathe dominates him.

oh the life of a dirty mage <3

This happened to me too. The trigger to advance his dialog is not looting the chest, but rather something to do with the way you get to him - like jumping off the ledge to get down to the treasure or going through the door to him from the opposite side - I don't remember exactly what. I went back and retraced the path from jumping down to getting to him, and that did the trick.
 
Yup you gotta open the door from the other side (since it's a one way door) to get Pate to advance.

Basically same way you get him to advance at the Forrest, by getting the "treasure".
 
Finally resolved of all sin after an hour of running around the Cathedral of Blue naked and hollow. People must have felt bad for me as they would drop human effigies and items before killing me. That will teach me to kill any NPCs in NG+
 
Speaking of Pate and Creighton, what was up with Creighton having the same or extremely similar armor to the Heide knights when I freed him at Earthen Peak (or wherever it was) and when he was sitting at Shaded Woods, but then wearing these black robes/garb when fighting Pate.?

Was the clothes change supposed to happen, that's very odd?

Why did you want to get rid of your sin?

Yeah, no shit, earlier I died before I even appeared on my own screen... WTF. Get your shit together, From.
 
Umm...I just arrived at Lost Bastille for some bellbro action and guess what? no moon here too.

Seriously wtf From? lol.
For reference:

Didn't find any footage where I happened to be looking at the moon both times, but you already said it's gone now for some reason so yeah...

He's got a hide away I believe where he went to change probably. But it's a shame you can't get his first set of armor he had at huntsmans.

And Screaming Meat was running around in a pair of gloves and trousers whilst my lady had full armor on. He died more than I did...
 
Fuck you NG+ Lost Sinner. She always makes a special point to attack Lucateil.

Redeye ring is your friend here. Makes Lucatiel easy as hell to keep alive for this fight. The problem is, the boss seems several times more aggressive once you put it on.
 
So I decided to try burning my first ascetic for the the
Old Iron King
fight. I figured this guy was super easy at NG difficulty, how much harder can he be at NG+ diff? A. LOT. I've probably died to him over 20 times now. If I get hit by any of his melee attacks its a 1 shot.

One time I actually had him dead to rights and got greedy. His health was pretty low and I tried to shoot 2 concurrent lightning spears. The second spear killed him.....too bad he was able to get off his flaming palm attack and kill me as well. I'm at my wits end with this fight. Should I just come back when I'm able to take more than 1 hit?
 
After using the Black Knight Ultra Greatsword and Heide Knight Greatlance on my STR/FTH character for a good while, it feels so nice to make the switch to the Dragonslayer's Crescent Axe. Finally some good quick attacks!

Cool. Thanks. Wish the ring description implied that a little more clearly...
 
Having trouble summoning people for the
Lost Sinner
NG+ fight. When I put down my sign, I'm summoned instantly. But there never seems to be signs outside the fog or by the bonfire. Is there a level I should be at for this fight?

Not quite my best setup numbers-wise but I'm quite liking the look and feel of this:
...

NICE armor. What set?
 
Holy shit. I just realized you can see the Pursuer before you fight him. Theres an overlook right next to the summon door where you can see him. I bet you can kill him with arrows like Dragon Rider.
 
Fuck you NG+ Lost Sinner. She always makes a special point to attack Lucateil.

Great Resonant Soul + maxed out Sunset Staff + Abyss Seal ring = Quick work of 90% of all bosses.

The only one that gave me issues was The Rotten. For him I used:
Unleash Magic+Soul Geyser+ maxed out Staff Of Wisdom. Make sure you bring/summon in Lucateil and The solo hunter NPC.
4 hits of soul geyser will knock him on his multiple assess... and everyone will live to tell the story.
 
Does covenant rank carry to NG+?

I just spent over an hour grinding to level 1 for the Bell Keepers offline. I'm not a fan of PVP, and at my lvl I wasn't getting called to other worlds.

I read you can grind Heirs of the Sun offline as well.

I'm not sure about progress. But the cat reported stat and lvls of all my other covenants in NG+ and NG++.
In short it sounds safe but I would stick to what your doing (your going to have to do it anyway).

It took me two hours to knock out the extra 20 that I needed for lvl 2 Bell Keepers
(offline).
 
Well I'll make one now then I've got tonnes of material and it should help with the looking glass knight. What faith do you have just out of interest? Mines still the default for the knight class.

I have 43 FAI, but the FAI scaling on the +10 lightning greatsword is rather inconsequential. With 43 FAI I only get +43 to lightning. However somehow the initial 280 physical with 280 lightning damage already goes through the roof. Once you get sunlight weapon you get another 30% to lightning damage, so you can see where the damage does.

I've seen the same with just 8 faith it's pretty much one shotting most things with my 50 strength. It's a lot better than I thought it would be.
 
Why is everyone who summons for Pursuer so fucking stupid? WHY on gods gren Earth would you lead him towards the guy firing the ballista? No, why would you purposely heal while in front of the ballistia right as soon as I fire? Don't fucking complain when you die because you got in my way.

Wait, really?

So he wasn't dressed like this when you first encountered him? I'm 85% certain that's what he was wearing for me every time I saw him.

What was he wearing then?
 
Thats it I AM FUCKING DONE. No more summoning for Pursuer. People are so ungrateful. They ask for my help, and then they complain when I kill them on accident.
 
Final just beat the
Ancient Dragon
. On the 15th try finally took him down. Did the fight naked because honestly anything is a one hit kill in that battle so it's best to be light and get that fast stamina regen.
