Question about the Bell Keepers! I've read two wikis and still don't have a clear answer. To level up in BK rank, do I have to be the protector or will killing the bell protectors that invade ME also count? If the former, what's the point of hanging out in Belfry Sol unless you love pvp?

Fighting the
right now, and this boss is cheap as fuck! The range on these flame attacks are silly!
EDIT: BEAT THAT FUCKER! Now all that's left is
and that's all bosses down.
Killing red phantoms that invade you in the bell areas counts, but not the bell keeper phantoms. You also don't have to be in belfry sol to be summoned. You can hang out in the iron keep

Red phantoms as in pvp player invasions or just the Mad Warrior guy? I'm gonna be rank 2 tomorrow, been cleaning out Lost Bastille all day. Works a lot better than Sol for me for some reason.
Also, I just found out there are special rings for beating the game without dying and without ever resting at a bonfire :O Never dying seems straight-forward, if not very difficult, but what about bonfires? I mean, if you teleport back to Majula to level up, doesn't that mean you rested? Or is FROM seriously saying that you have to walk everywhere every time you want to do something non-linear?
Depends on how much you like the ultra greatswords. Black knight is stronger when fire infused with flame weapon and has lower stat requirements. Smelter is stronger without buffs and has aoe R2 attacks. I wonder if power stancing smelters will get double aoe attacks.

I'm confused about infusing...
If I have a +10 weapon, does using say, ONE Boltstone turn it into +10 Lightning? Or do you need to use multiple?

One is enough. Upgrading and infusing are separate now.

Oooooh. Thanks, man. God, I am just the best at depriving myself when it comes to this game.
This is golden. I'm guessing he typed it with his face or something.
Four invaders? Is that... even a thing? Lol.

Pretty sure it's both. I know for sure the Mad Warrior counts.
Thanks for the tips. A few times I did run out of space and just got torched. I threw enough lightning spears and he finally went down. It took over 20 Great Lightening Spears and 6 Sunlight Spears with a +5 Dragon Chime!
Anyone understand how the R2 attack on the Rapier is supposed to work? It looks like a quick guard break, but I can never seem to get it to do anything. I just end up awkwardly punching dudes.

Starting a new character as a sorcerer, what's that best weapons and levels to attain first? The soul shot isn't doing to well against the guys in the Heid's Ruin.

I don't know, Black Gulch certainly gives it a run for it's money. The enemies in that area aren't too bad on their own, but when you've got tons of poison shooting and breaking your guard, it becomes too much. At least you can dodge the magic attacks and hit everything there from Range.
Are you going for pure sorcery? Or a melee sorcery mix? Or multi-caster?
Do heide's only for the hollow health ring and ornstein, then do no mans to get the trainer. You'll be better equipped after that.
GHSA will be your friend. Seriously, that and Soul Vortex on bosses. In fact, I'd carry 2 GHSA as you can buy it from 2 merchants. Talking PvE of course.
Is this a thing people do for soul farming? I'm genuinely curious why?
Infinite souls due to infinite ascetics. also infinite 3x great hero souls, 2x twinkle titanites and soul vessels

Is anyone is using any variation of lightning spears for pvp put them away now. Emit Force has to be the best miracle for PVP.
I guess besides wrath of the gods but I don't have that one yet.
Also the combination of Sacred Oath and Sunlight Blade help.

Wow...I did not know that! I'm assuming the boss is a cakewalk if you're going to ascetic an infinite number of times lol.

What's better? Drangleic Sword +5 or the Claymore +10 with a STR/DEX build warrior? I am using both, but they are so close to each other. Infused the Claymore with lightning and it is better than the Hiede Lightning Sword, but not as strong as the Drangleic Sword. Also, I am hearing people say they got a +15 Claymore. How is that even possible?
It only destroys your armor and rings not your shield or weapons^^ which means just unequip armor and rings and kill the mushroom
You can manage shrine of amana melee only but if you have trouble just take a bow/crossbow and snipe doesnt matter if it is upgraded the enemies dont have much health/defense

150k souls gone. I'm mad. I failed to make a jump and then fell again walking back to my souls. I'm so mad because it takes for fucking ever to get souls at an early stage and nobody will summon me. Why is the game all the sudden dead online? it really fucking sucks because I have no way of getting souls unless I want to spend hours grinding.

Man, now my game is glitched and I can't get to Mcduff because the gunpowder barrel won't spawn anymore. This really fucking sucks.
You don't need to fight any regular schmoe enemies on the run to the boss and it's really easy to win without getting hit once you've got a bit of practice under your belt. Which is nice, on account of once you've thrown a few Ascetics on the barby a single hit is basically certain death.
It's a bit absurd in terms of soul farming efficiency, but it's not really a glitch like the dragon head of yore was. I'd rather they didn't patch it.
So, got the Chaos Blade maxed it out to +5 w/ Dark. And I decided I want to use the Scythe of Want as my second weapon, after the Moonlight Greatsword get's nerfed. Get my Death/Grim Reaper on.
For the first time, I went to the second Belfry location. Get invaded kind of quickly, and it always happens when the Mad Warrior spawns. lol
I hate when people try and kill you when enemies aggro. I need to get those seeds of the giant, so I can punish people who invade me.

Oh hey another 15k lost! OH yeah mages are real good! That low HP and long casting sure is good! What's that add more HP? Too bad! Man this blows, it really seems I just suck at the game. I suck at dodging so basically being a mage is out of the question as I die too fast. I can't get more Hp because I dont want to grind, I can't beat the bosses because they 1 shot me, or the enemies 1 shot me. I can't attack them because they don't give me an opening to attack. "Use GSR it'll tear through bosses" -400-500 damage- Yeah, fucking right.

Thinking mostly sorcery with a touch of melee. It's just a pain getting through Heide's to get to no mans. Unless I'm just having a brain fart. That is how I get there again right?
Lol! I just discovered how easy it is to get 500k souls from that area in 5 minutes each time today too! Lol
I'm now actually only 4 levels away from being level 300. Really really cheap way to get souls. But I'm mostly done with this character. Kinda only use it for invasions and for heck of it to see how high level I can get now. Might eventually start a new character.
At one point, I had 2.5 million on me after like 20 minutes. Really easy as a caster. Almost sad.

Are you new to Souls games? If you are, I suggest starting with a class that will let you use a mace early in the game. It goes through everything like a hot knife through butter. If you pick the Cleric, you will also have quick access to Sunlight Spear, which should scratch your casting itch while still allowing you to demolish bosses.
If you're not new to Souls games, then boy am I glad I didn't go with my usual mage for a first character!

No, I didn't struggle much at all with my warrior. Once I got past early game aside from a few difficulties I slaughtered everything. I wanted a fun mage class and everyone said Hex was fun, well I guess I just suck because this isn't fun. I'm kind of at a dead end. I can't go into Earth peak because the mankins kill me too fast, I can't go into Freja because the spiders kill me too fast, I can't go into the gulch because poison kills me too fast, I can't go anywhere now. Kinda SOL.
I've kinda screwed myself because of such low HP. The Ruin Trio 1 shot me, the second I enter I die. Even GSR does pitiful damage to them.

I really am upset and disappointed. My first adventure with a mage class and this is how it goes? I knew I would get fucked up here. I got fucked up in Skyrim with a mage. I'm just not a mage type, it's an alien form of play-style for me.
Ah, I forgot.
You can also get to him with the bastille key
Ah, I forgot.
Yup. You can actually run past all the enemies. You'd want to kill the dude which drops the sublime bone dust though. The boss is easy though. If you're going for minimal melee you can grab the fire long sword in the salamander tunnel at the forest.

I went back to my warrior and already kicking ass and taking names. Man, why the fuck am I playing as a shitty mage anyways? Forget this shit. If I'm going to be weak and look like some kind of reject from a trash-can I'm at least summoning players. is this what mages feel like when playing as a warrior? Oh and fuck mages, you're all a bunch of cowards afraid of the sight of your own blood. Man we warriors we're badasses, we don't hide like cowards and play with light-guns. We fuck shit up with our swords. See that giant ass bird? I'm shoving my sword down it's throat. Why? Cause fuck you I'm a warrior. I don't need no fancy magic to kill. What I got is pure raw power.

Had some nice PVP matches in Belfry Sol earlier. One guy in full havel's and some huge arced greatsword found out the hard way how easy it is for me to shield break him when he turtles up the whole time haha
I also had some laggy shitty fights. People doing a lunge attack far enough away from me that I could pass them a football, yet it still hit me anyway.

I'm not a fan of the zone anymore either. Earlier I got to the Undead Crypt and got relatively far in without ever finding a bonfire. When I died I went back to the Shrine of Shitty Design and decided to do something else in the game for a while.

Get yourself a bow and go see Gavlan. Area is cake once you do that.
Started a new character. Focusing on Faith and STR. Using a mace and it rips apart so many armored guys. And since I know what yo expect, I'm pretty much flying through the first few areas. I did stop and did coop to amass more souls to get my Faith to 22 just to use Lightning Spear.
I also summoned for Pursuer just to get it over with and one of the coop guys used the ballista so that was quick lol

well he one shots you at some point, but his pattern is rather easy (think last giant with arm out).
whoever put the hole there is a freaking genius
Wait a second, there's a hole there? I was afraid of the double fist pound of fiery instant death.
