If an enemy drops an item and you rest at a bonfire before getting it, do you lose the drop?

i killed one of the Giants in the Catherdal and I thought it dropped something but now I can't find it again. They don't respawn

Yes, it wasn't anything special though.

Onion questions.

I left Siegfried down a well a while ago, will he still be there? I had no idea what he wanted.

I've probably gone and killed him, the poor sod

Also, I FINALLY made it through that fucking dungeon. Christ. I hate jailers, basically ran past that last part. That was hell.

You need to

buy his entire armor set from patches at firelink shrine and give it to him in the well, don't know if he's still alive but if you want to finish his questline you need to do it pretty quickly, you're approaching the area where his quest ends. Although you already missed an encounter before the dungeons with him had you given him his armor that you would have to go back to.

I always prefer dex weapons, would also love to play this game without using a shield

are there some class / build / weapon that makes this viable, including pvp?

i enjoy bloodbornes combat pace, and would like to get as close to replicating that as i can in DS3

boss the harderest in the game or the game just got real now? I have been melting bosses easy (CS went down in like 10 seconds lol) with my raw and now sharp estoc, no shield used at all through the game. But this guy is just another level. I got 1/3rd of him down and when I thought I'm starting to get the hang of it, the second phase kicked in and I said nope.

Thankfully seems I missed a location (

) but even a bit leveled up, and probably one more +1 in my weapon it won't be much easier.

He's certainly not the hardest and not even the hardest non optional bosses. Once we're talking optional, then there's some real rough stuff out there. At least the boss you're talking about actually stops attacking briefly from time to time. With some others that's a luxury. It took me around 20-30 tries for one optional but the boss you're at was a one time deal.

Early bosses are on the easier side of things but regular enemies are harder than ever. Much faster, counters to backstab fishing bunch of shield break attacks and generally much tougher encounters.

I just made it to the Chalice Dungeon area, you guys know which one :lol Should I have found the rusted iron ring by now? I'm sure I left a few items in the swamp but I don't want to do it without the ring. Just need a yes or no if it's available to me now and I just haven't found it.

Yup. Compare the first four bosses in Bloodborne - Cleric Beast, Gascoigne, Blood Starved Beast, Vicar Amelia to this game. It definitely eases you in but the late main/optional bosses are tough.

There isn't a Rusted Iron Ring equivalent in the game, unfortunately.

Holy crap, just summoned someone for the first time and it's like another game! Good times. And man that third boss was hard, mostly because I didn't know what to do. And we were three guys battling it and I dies with it having just a fraction of health left

it is a cakewalk. The early game enemies have super low poise and can usually be staggered until they die. Early game is a R1 mashfest lol

You won't get summoned much past level 30 from what I've seen. Everyone equips the way of the blue covenant item early on since there isn't much else to equip. Had my first character at 19 of the blue sentinel covenant item but I leveled it up past 30 and stopped getting summoned.

No? I was getting summon at lvl45 for that boss.

 

[Zeliard]

I've been having good success being summoned as a Blue Sentinel, though the waiting times do understandably get longer as you progress into the game and level up, since it shrinks the available player pool and players are probably less likely to be in Way of Blue.

Might be helpful to turn cross-region matchmaking on. I've been pleasantly surprised with the latency, for the most part. Lag has actually been a worse problem when getting summoned for co-op than it has for PvP.

 

[Burgess_101]

Okay so I seem to have come across my first cheater. The character name was something like SamuelLillith. I would have had a recording if Plays.TV wasn't so shite.

In the Wall of Lothran or whatever it is called he one hit me and my brother through our 100% damage reduction shields. When I managed to hit him whilst he was coming down he took no damage what so ever.

I Coop-ed the watchers for 5h straight yesterday at Lv. 39, so nope.
Also nope, you put it in front of the bonfire.

EDIT: Did you put down a white sign or a Sunbro sign? In my experience people prefer sunbros.

What's your highest weapon upgrade level? SL43 should be fine for Watchers. I doubled back in my game to help people with that boss around that level.

Edit: oh yeah, put it near the bonfire for better success like KHlover said, since people will likely want to run past or fight the enemies in front of the boss door and won't have time to summon you

 

[heringer]

Cool early game recommendation: silver eagle kite shield + dagger or thrall axe. That way you have a 100% physical absortion shield ready and can use quickstep without going two handed.

Best tip ever, that changes everything. Oh man, that is just too good. I never use shields so I think I may just stick a dagger on my left hand permanently.

I think there might be something wrong going on with the servers. I'm SL36. I can barely ever get summoned to the forest covenant, never managed to be summoned for abyss watchers. Invading also very rarely suceeds. I managed to get like 2 invasions in one our in the cathedral of cleansing and that's it.

his health down to a sliver (talking about the second phase) once, one more attack and he would've died, but then messed up one roll and bit it.
And usually, i'd say the first phase is pretty doable if you keep it defensive, but that flaming phase just destroys me, for some reason i can't keep my rolling on point when it gets to that moment; getting Fume Night flashbacks, only i have to go through a whole first phase to even try again.

Had to stop, because i was at that point where you can't even get past the first part, since your adrenaline is gone.

Fuck i may have to get back here after some leveling up or something, i'm pretty sure i'm over leveled already though (i think i'm around 20 - 25, as a knight).

In their defense though i'll say, they did find a cool twist to the usual
