wow. Its going to take me a few more weekends to get through it.
Tonight I downed 2 bosses.was SUPER difficult for me.Demon of Songon the other hand I killed first try. The difficulty swings of this game are crazy.Velstadt, the Royal Aegis
I should have not made the pact to play this game only on stream. Now I must wait until Friday.
I completed the game yesterday (
beat Nashandra
Darklurker and Ancient Dragon
My big regret with the game is cheesing some of the more difficult bosses in coop. If I had resisted coop that would probably have extended my playthrough with ten or so hours ... But when you decide to coop there is no way of getting those hours back.

For me it was almost directly the opposite.

Started my lvl 1 Deprived run yesterday. Looks like the only weapons I'll be able to use are a dagger and a broken straight sword. Killed Last Giant, Dragonrider and Flexile Sentry so far. This is gonna take a while.
Use an ascetic and fight the bosses on NG+(++++++) level
Some of them have new additions to their fights.

Yeah, I guess that is an option, but I think I will try and amp myself up for the PC version instead and do a purist solo run (maybe as a spellcaster (played as a warrior, int = fth = 5) ... but I guess that would trivialize many bosses like coop does) while enjoying the improved graphics.

Anyone got a good character build suggestion for lost sinner (NG+++)? My tank spec finally reached its limit and I can't handle the encounter anymore.

I didn't know you got put straight into the battle after dropping down the final fog hole, but two flame swathe's and one chaos storm wrecked him.
For those struggling with Vendrick, if you hug his left leg (your right) his horizontal sword wings actually go over your head. No need to dodge them. If he jumps away just roll your way back to him.

Pilgrims of the Dark related question:
How do I repeat the Darklurker fight? I got in there, was surprised, popped of one Hex and then got smoked by some fireballs.

I'm going to guess enter any of the 3 locations and run to the fog hole. The one in Drangleic Castle is probably the easiest to run to and avoid enemies?
Finish whichever dungeon you want again.
You can't avoid enemies, there is a fog gate just before every fog/dark hole so you have to kill all the enemies.

Damn, thank feck I managed to just scrape through that fight on my first go. Although it only took 3 casts as above I was down to about 1/4 health.

I'm an old man. I asked for a character build, not the reflexes of a 15yo. Wouldn't mind getting them back, though.
So, Sunlight Spear in PVP is pretty absurd, huh? I know it's easy to dodge, but I'm killing people with one hit when I find the oportunity to use it. I'm using a Lightning Claymore+10 and Sunlight Spear and winning about 90% of the invasions. When people try to defend the miracle with a shield it does around 500 of damage.
Really fun to use, but I even got a rage message from one guy.

Thanks guys.
My Hex build has 30 for VIG, END, ATN, STR, FTH and INT. For the Warrior class it adds up perfectly to SL 150. With the Third Dragon Ring I've got more than enough HP and Stamina.
Edit: Actually, that would add up to 149. I've got 1 point in DEX so I can use the Mastodon Greatsword.
The lightning spears are just about the easiest spells to dodge in pvp, so yeah. I only find them useful if people estus or try to run.
just leveled enough actually. 270 currently. I'm in NG++ and don't really feel over leveled, esp when it comes to PVP. Unlike others, I'm not playing the 150 meta game. I still find the game quite challenging.
Also, yes. I know I'm crazy. Lol
I prob had mine around 20 at end of NG. Now its 40 currently.
Get End up to 20 as close as you can. I prpb had something like 15 or so
That sounds pretty good. I think I'll try respecing my dude in NG+ and see how she fares against the Luca/Bernhardt bosses. If it's easier, I'll try going all the way.
I'll try this out in NG for my second character.

last night. It took me about 20 tries using a pure melee build. Definitely one of the hardest bosses in the game but the time I beat him I got lucky and somehow stopped him from splitting. He started the animation but I hit him a few times and it stunned him out of it or something. Not sure if that was intentional but I'm not complaining!
I had another run where I got him to split and managed to survive for quite some time and got him down to just a sliver of health. I found an opportunity to strike so I went all out for the win but left him with an infinitesimal amount of health when my stamina ran out. I sat there pounding the attack button just trying to get one last hit in before he had time to get a move off... I managed to get the hit, but somehow his sword attack had already started and he took me down from the grave. There was no anger, only tears.
Really fun boss fight overall. Still not quite O&S level but pretty good nonetheless.

I've been having lots of fun with it. The only downsides are the very low Vitality and Adaptability (6 and 5 respectively), so drinking Estus is slow and I have to rely on multiple rings in order to carry what I want.
I am so glad there are four ring slots in this game. Maybe by Dark Souls 5 we'll be able to use all ten fingers.
I know, but the hosts really like to run to heal. That's when I one shot them. It's also possible to parry or backstab them and use the spear when they're about to get up.
I want WotG, but no way I'm doing the ridiculous requirements to get that. Only buying it in NG++.
They completely deserve getting one shotted then.
I have a few more points than that so I may put them into Vigor/Adapt then. I'm not gonna be doing Hexes much. Are they good?

What SL were you guys going into NG+? I want to make sure I can get summons/be summoned for early on bosses. I'm currently 130.
Also does the covenant you're part of carry over, or do you need to join them again? Considering grinding out some sunlight medals on the last boss if I need to rejoin again in NG+.

At 130 you'll be perfectly fine and covenant ranks/membership carry over.

I still hear the music from Firelink Shrine pop into my head.
You're all hearing it now, aren't ya?

i was 130. you will see less summon signs in ng+. you will get summoned within seconds though.

Despite playing multiple characters I never found the Firelink Shrine theme to be that memorable except that that initial sound that comes when you enter the area :O
Which ones have you used that destroyed bosses?

Alright, gotta get my Hex on. I'm coming for you Luca! Thanks.
Edit: wait, Hexes require souls? What's that about?

I'd consider that the front entrance and Pursuer way the back way.

Started a sorcery playthrough. Really fun
Eh? Warp out with a bonfire?
70 hours and I still haven't gotten a blacksteel katana from any of the Alonne dudes. I keep getting their damn armor.
Blacksteel Katana is the best if you got enough dexterity. Washing pole has superior range and better damage if you have less than say 38 dexterity.
I think its appeal is supposed to be its range.
