Undead Settlement, how do I get the elevator to go down again? The one that takes you up to the giant.

2. I fought a

demon with Catarina dunlop man armor guy. Is this area an optional area? Is there a bonfire near the start?

Same way you got up, but reversed! And it's just a different part, no bonfire.

But moving on. So this mid game boss

Spoiler

Aldrich

is totally the

Spoiler

player character from Dark Souls 1 who teamed up with the rebirth maggot lady to turn into a gross amalgamation of the various souls he collected, right? I don't know anyone else who beat Nito

 

[Ridesh]

You know the super scary room with the 28 ladies in it that want to hurt you? It's a room on the side of that.

Agh ignore me, I was looking in the wrong place.

Found it, thanks.

1- stand on the elevator pressure plate and jump away from it so that you don't go up with it.

2- yeah it's optional

Question about rings. Does anybody know where the Serpent Ring is? The one that increases how many souls you get. Also if if/where a ring to increase Equip Load is.

 

[ubiblu]

Anyone find a Dark Stone yet? I think it's the only one I'm missing?

 

[Jobbs]

So I'm at this evil zone that has enemies similar to the first zone

Spoiler

but they're all fucking evil as hell

and I found a bridge with 2 fire drakes guarding it

I can't seem to run past it.. what do I do?

 

[Rhaknar]

Any fucked up hidden places like the painting world in DS1?

If I remember right you can drop down the bridge onto a ledge. From there, going left should let you get past your issue. Unless it's a completely different area I'm thinking of.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Just got my ass handed to me by a big ass crab! Some of the enemies in this game have been nuts and I'm only 6 hours in.

 

[Zocano]

Seriously?...

I am a fervent defender and praiser of Dark Souls 2, if you're wondering. I also think it's better than it's predecessor!

 

[Karamsoul]

Any fucked up hidden places like the painting world in DS1?

Yes found one that's like

Spoiler

Ash Lake

but much bigger and intricate

There's a second one that I haven't gotten to yet.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Where the fuck do I go after I get the third Cinder Lord ash???

Spoiler

climb the long ladder in the poison swamp. You will find the watchdog covenant. Going up the evelator you need to kill the demon up there. You can trade the demon's soul for havel's ring.

Hi first timer GAFer here (actually have been a lurker for a looooooong time) just a quick question: where do I find more (or farm) 楔石の欠片 or Titanite Shards? I really like the move set on the broadsword and want to at least upgrade it to +4. Tell me if its worth it =) Currently I am at the swamp area where you need to do something to 3 special thing to get thru (you know what I'm talking about if you played the game already).

Thanks!

Also

Spoiler

should I trade voldt's soul for the ring or the mace? Reading the descrption of the ring seems like it's a life leeching ring. Worth trading the soul for?

Haha that's classic. There are 2 elevators. The lower one comes up when the upper one goes up. Just step on the button thing and roll away.

2.

Spoiler

I personally didn't find a bonfire. I exited the area thru a tower and it was in front of the tree boss area. Someone please correct me if there is a way to a new area in that place.

 

[eyesradar]

The weird bubble head dudes in that area

I must be blind or stupid...only remember seeing

crazy birdman, dudes with long sticks, gross leeches, grave-bearing crazy dudes, a few Knights and some dudes with great club or something...and CRABS ofc.

go to up the stairs to your right. it's impossible to miss unless you forgot about it or didn't fully explored the area.

 

[MayMay]

How do I get to this bonfire in the

Catacombs

?

Spoiler

I've been to the boss before but haven't found a way to that bonfire yet. Mainly because everything is trying to kill me and I panic and run through the area as fast as possible lol

Might be remembering wrong but I think the serpent ring

Spoiler

was in Firelink. If you get on top of the building outside and head around you get on the high up area inside, there's an illusion wall on one of the ends and the ring is over there.

Spoiler

Go down the hall and hang a right, at the end hang another right and there should be an opening where a skeleton ball thing is going down a hall. Run partway down then go left which heads to this fire.

They're usually surround the three things you're supposed to do in that area. Hard to describe them other than like zombies with gross bubble heard.

 

[SatansReverence]

This is basically the entirety of

Cathedral of the Deep

for me.

Perfect

moment.

How do you even get up there lol.

I couldn't find washing pole in my playthrough. I hope it's there somewhere.

Need certain ashes.

Spoiler

From inside Firelink shrine, head towards the front entrance and there are sets of stairs going up on either side of the doorway, take the staircase to your left and you'll see where you can go outside and up to the tower.

Ah gotcha, that was easier than I thought. Thanks. Must've missed that because I fell down the hole in the floor on my first attempt.

 

[Papercuts]

How do you even get up there lol.

All I remember is an elevator and a jump that led me onto a ledge outside that went to the very top. There's a bunch of enemies there and their AI is hilariously bad which will lead them to run off to their death.

 

[lionpants]

Has any one figured out what healing the dark sigil actually does? Mine is stacked to 5 and I go hollow every now and then now. The fire keeper can heal it for me for 80k.

What are the down sides of healing it or keeping it? Has anyone done it yet?

 

[so1337]

So how do the Estus shards work in this? I have two of them right now.

Talk to the blacksmith and you'll get another Estus for each shard.

Do rings in this iteration appear with multiple tiers like Dark Souls II or has it gone back to one version of each ring like the first game?

Catedral of the Deep. Take another look around the road of sacrifice (where the crabs are, before sliding down the ladder).

I totally skipped that area too and went to the catacombs. Doing it now though.

 

[Kazaam]

I think my mind is playing tricks on me, but it got me really paranoid (welcome to Dark Souls I guess..).

Do I need a divine weapon for the catacombs? Is Miyazaki-san just trolling me? I swear I've killed some of these skeleton fuckers and they've come back to life...

I was about to have a heart attack there too, but there is a bonfire nearby.

The ONLY fire is that starting one but from that area you can go down a hallway and find an elevator that leads to the door.

Still the most insane area I've seen, my damn weapon was about to break.

Any advice on what to do next?

Spoiler

Beat the Catacombs and went to the next zone the snowy place, but it was blocked by a field. I beat the Crystal Sage boss and have no idea where to progress. I found a bonfire after the sage boss, but it's like a dead end because it has two locked brown doors on either side of the bonfire.
