Buy some of his crap, then he upgrades his inventory. He does it twice IIRC.

Dark Souls II |OT2| Prepare to Vengarl

There's only two things that I don't understand from the patch:
1) Pyromancy Firestorm, Fire Tempest, Chaos Storm Time to activation made longer. Why? It was already pretty long to begin with. I get reducing the pyro damage (I thought it was a little bit too high TBH), but the casting speed for these spells wasn't short.
2) Area boss nerfing.
I didn't think the bosses needed tweaking at all. In fact, they should look at some of the tanks they have on the way to the bosses. Leave the bosses as the beasts they are, but fix some of the regular enemies (particularly those with no apparent stamina issues).

Yea, I'm not sure anyone really has it figured out for NG+ and beyond. I've regularly cooped with a friend that had 3 times my SM. I hope they haven't changed it, but I'm not too worried as literally every theory so far about how it works has been incorrect.
I think that might be a bad translation.

Maybe I can see the first boss because he's supposed to be easy and that stomp could one shot you, but I have no idea why for LS. That's a decent fight that properly punishes you.
I never ran into any boss the level of O&S or the Maneaters boss fights from the first two games.
AHHH! Ok, thanks for clarification, that makes much more sense! Still disappointed in the boss nerfing, but oh well!

Dark Soul |OT3| Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
30% I believe well that's what Screaming meat says it is.
See You Next Wednesday

On the Xbox 360 134,335 have beat this game
On the PS3 157,146 people beat it.
An early indication of the NPD?
Game couldn't have sold less than 300,000 if that is the amount of people who beat this long hard game.

Finally beat the Sentinels in the Bastille. Worst part was the having to redo the lead up to the fight with all the skeletons.

Can you activate that hidden door in that room & beat the Sentinels from safety?
Nice video. Speed is the same, but distance is not. I'll stick to 70% for the defense.

pretty much what I do, but whenever I use an ultragreat sword I need Dragon ring 3 and soldier ring 2 to be able to roll, oh well
Yes there is. And in case you want to know how (and it's not like its some super secret), just view the spoiler below.
In the Shrine there are enough pillars and environmental obstacles that you can slowly snake your way through it without using magic or a bow. A solid magic defense shield (which should be in your repertoire as a melee user), some careful maneuvering, a nice, quick weapon with a good AOE reach will be enough to handle the Shrine.

I also have wondered this but forget to try it out every time.

Find a lady in Heides Tower of Flame and exhaust all of her dialog. Alternatively find some use for your Fragrant tree branches.
Down the well in Majula or through vault with the petrified woman, just outside Majula.
The game beating achievement was at about 30% rarity last I checked on PS4, so that probably means at least 450k people bought the game on PS3, albeit not necessarily in the US. Still, pretty damn good so far I imagine.
down the well in majula or to the shaded woods
Former leads to worst area in game tho imo

There should be alternate route that you can take to run (carefully) to the boss, up that ladder.
I'm far past that I'm at Aldia now I was just wondering if I should pick it up on my co-op character.
That's the stage I was at I found it when my bastard was pretty much better than it was so I never tried it.

So I used some of my ascestics to reset the rotten guy trying to get the luca achievements but couldnt, that boss can kill luca pretty fast so I killed myself then I reset the
to get an extra Geyser but I dont plan to beat the boss
My questions are
if I go to NG+ with
bosses in +2 it will to to +3?
Also luca achivement can be stored to the second run or I have to do it three times in the same run.
guardian dragon
My questions are
if I go to NG+ with
Sinner and Dragon
Also luca achivement can be stored to the second run or I have to do it three times in the same run.
This game, man. THIS GAME.
So, I decided to start summoning people on my way up to the A.D. fight to help clear out the mobs so they won't respawn later. I realized this might take a while, so of course I give the boss a go each time. I know this is probably the worst way to tackle the boss (with its increased health and one-hit KO capabilities), but I figure it might help me learn the mechanics better. So about 8 or 9 tries later, this guy I summoned is helping me clear the way. We get through the boss door and he dies immediately (much like many of the phantoms I've summoned for the fight). So I give the boss a go and about 5 minutes go by when I realize I'm getting relatively close to killing him. When his health gets to about 10% I get a warning telling me my sword is at risk. "Shit" I thought, "I guess I'll have to equip some other random weapon when I get a safe moment." But I keep hacking away and hacking away, dodging the flames until there's but a sliver left on his health bar. As the boss reigns up to do his under-the-legs fire attack, I decide to go for broke. On my final swing with my sword, my weapon breaks and the boss dies.
One of the most exhilarating moments I've ever experienced in a game.

I play this game always as PvE and never go online with it so I take it I can just keep playing offline and not update the game and suffer the nerfs right?

Nice! An epic win for sure, congrats!
Drangelic. You can get it very early too.
Just wait until you want the equipment!
No it means many people use vengarls armor. I don't see many people using it nowadays though.
Alonne knight and captain are very good I've used that since iron keep with no complaints.
Oh okay then I've seen more Havel's and Syan knights myself.

I interpreted it as Prepare to "Lose your head".
Oh ok. I'm on NG++ just pvping - unfortunately it's a little barren.
Should I reinforce my Berserk blade all the way. Can't decide between that or Chaos Blade.
