Lol, this game. Watching ENB's latest video and he mentions there is an extremely rare event at the camp at the start of brightstone where sometimes a non-hostile pig will spawn and if you lead it all the way down to the bottom of the area it will dig up the pickaxe for you.

Easiest way:
First, don't wear anything except your main weapon and rings. He'll one shot you either way so you might as well be naked/light 
Attack is back legs and sprint towards his tail as soon as you see him preparing to use his fire AoE. Rinse and repeat

It's very fun to use the demon great hammer nice big hammer I've got two of them. I've also got an old whip, a couple of titanite slabs and a dragon bone. Pretty productive of you ask me.

Indeed but you don't need that event, you can just do it with one of the hostile ones. That's how I got mine.
From what I understand, it's been proven that you don't need a nonhostile pig to do it. You can get any of the small pigs to follow you there to get the pickaxe. Here's a video of someone just getting a random pig to follow them in order to get the pickaxe.

I really fucking hate bone wheel skeletons. I really do. They do 50% damage to me, and I can;t kill them fast enough. I can't kill them, it's so annoying how fast and how hard it is to dodge.
Holy water use it. Or summon help then? At this point it's easier to make a list of things you don't get angry about
.How to be an asshole 101: Invade someone in Dragon Aerie. Don't face the host, go after all the eggs and destroy them. Even if you lose, you win.
Wait, what's the deal with the eggs?
Use the pillars to your advantage. I've done that boss fight at low levels quite a bit, and I've always just hugged the pillars to make them run into walls.

If you
break I think it's 3 or more
cross the last bridge, a dragon will come and break it. You died.

How am I angry? )= They're just annoying. I can all 3 lords, but, the wheels man, the wheels. All i can think about is those wheels. Gavlan is wheeling and dealing in heaven now.
Priscilla is a big liar and she deserved to have that tail cut off.
That's why I whipped her to death with a +15 notched whip. She deserved a bit of punishment I think and nothing like a good whipping.
Yep. Great way to mess with the host as well as assure they don't try to cross it to escape/lure you into a trap.
Had it done to me before once. Didn't expect it. lol

I killed them, but, fuck Bone Wheels.
This can't be true, I broke
like 20 eggs and ran across the bridge no problem

Do you really want me to answer that?
They're a peaceful people you know...
That's exactly why I always make sure to go out of my way to go kill Priscilla. Lying wench! :<

Strip it all off...
Yeah I am thinking the same.
Broke a ton of eggs...but can't remember if I did it the final time I had killed all the drakes.

O-okay, only for you Senpai.
Maybe,
with the zip line short cut that's definitely possible
All of it I mean everything... Unless you want a good whipping.

NG+, made it to Belfry Gargoyles...I died twice, and I'm sure I'd beat them fine if I tried again but I just realized I'm not having fun at the moment and therefore can't continue. Maybe I'll feel different tomorrow.
The gargoyles boss fight is a black hole from which fun cannot escape, and it only grows in power each time you try to beat it.
I never said I have issues with the fight. I've done it solo on both NG+ and NG++ and didn't really have any issues with it, but I think it's still a terrible fight.

Truthfully I don't think I'd be having fun whether I beat them or not, since the sole reason I'm bothering with them in the first place is so I can properly deal with Lost Sinner. And I don't really feel like going through Sinner's Rise. Really it's just a matter of fatigue rearing its ugly head.

Y-yes, senpai.

I love Pokken!
I didn't notice it when I was low level but there are a real issue with the scaling/damage system.
Now with my 20 str/30 dex I'm doing barely 120 damage to the final boss with a Zweihander+10 2H.
WTF? I was doing the same damage to this boss with a Raw Halberd+10 and barely 10 str/14 dex.

Man I got slabs for daaaaays from those fuckers.
An elementaly imbued weapon with buffs will outdamage the same buffed +10 weapon (non imbued). And the elemental weapons get almost no benefit from 40str or 40 dex. The most efficient builds atm just need minimum requirements to weild a weapon.

Thanks for the advice but I've already done this. The closest I've got him down to was near 50% health. I just can't beat him, even with summoned players to help. I'm not giving up, but it's still frustrating lol.

Anyone got any fashion advice for a hex-mage? I am so fucking sick of this lion mage armor. Makes me look like a hobo.
Poisoning them seems like a much more malicious thing to do. Probably the best thing to do actually.

For faith builds out there, is it worth downgrading the requirements to use sunlight spear? I have considered dropping it down to about 50, but am concerned about how much damage is lost by using it at lower faith. I'm not sure where the soft cap is for faith, so if anyone's experimented with this please fill me in.

50 is more than enough. Sunlight Spear still does huge amounts of damage at 50 faith with a dragon charm (which is the only reason to get 50 faith anyway...
