Swap to a controller of some sort. It's the only way I can play.
Damn, just arrived at
.
Pretty cool, makes me grin a bit. And the silver knights near the front door fucked my shit up, lol.
I skipped
for now because those damned maggot creatures were pissing me off. I'll have to head back that way. Definitely has Tower of Latria vibes.

You are damn right about them vibes. You have to go down there to get to

Yeah. Red Eye Orb (not cracked). Not sure where you are and how much you're okay with me spoiling.
Thanks for the info.
So as long as I hit 30 I'm fine, or do I have to be at 29.9?
They really missed an opportunity to make the blind sage's headgear useful for that.

"Not supposed" to...? Nothing to indicate it's for later in the game at all. I usually get it as soon as possible to access the extra shard, ring,and the special armour you can get by trading up there.

There is.
It's dropped by a darkwraith found at the bottom of the lift under the Tower on the Wall bonfire in High Wall of Lothric after following Leonhard's questline.
Yes, Leonard in the Firelink Shrine gives you
a key to a lift in the High Wall which takes you to a room with a darkwraith in it. The darkwraith drops a red eye orb which can be used infinitely. I'm not completely sure of the conditions under which he gives you the key, though - I was in the Rosaria's Fingers covenant when he did but I'm not sure if that made a difference.
Welcome to the Tower of Latria/Brain Trust/Jail Wardens area of the game.

Started this today...lol
I get into this cycle where I buy these souls games, they kick my ass immediately and then I quit.
7 months later, I start it again and get through the whole thing in marathon sessions.
My Souls shwag is all screwed up after bloodborne. I'm being waaay too aggressive.

I know, I really should. I was gonna buy a wired Xbox 360 controller a while back, since I heard it was the best option for PC gaming. That was before the Steam controller came out though. The biggest issue is that I'm a cheap bastard and it's hard to justify buying a controller for 1 game.
Yes. You can get it near the start of the game. Don't know if the NPC is still at the Shrine by the end of the game:
Up by Lothric's chair is Leonhard(?) who eventually gives you a mini-quest to kill an enemy in High Wall of Lothric, near to the second bonfire. The enemy drops a non-cracked Red Eye Orb.
If the NPC has moved on though, you've probably missed it until NG+.

Holy shit,I actually saw an Illusionary wall message that was true lol...Fallon Keep spoiler question
extinguished 2 of the flames but cant seem to find the third one...I did reach a long ladder that led me in the room with the dragon asking to join covenant and saw a platform to go up or down I guess but had to stop..is the third one up there...?

No. Up there is optional.

The trick is to either sneak past them, run past them, or kill them quick. In at least 1 case you can to the first, in most cases the third, and in the last case you need to just run. I had no long range weapons, so running was the only legit strategy.
Also
Did anyone notice if you let the monsters out of the cages where most of the jailers were, they would attack the jailers. That was awesome!

No. Third is east of the gate. You might aggro that goddamn sage though so be careful.

Late game Boss spoilers!
there's a shield called great tree crest or something with 83% lightning reduction. I think it's at lothric castle. Anyway he has some really heavy hits in the second phase so blocking is a bad idea anyway. Those hits are pretty easy to dodge though, especially compared to Abyss Watchers or Gundyr. Maybe your nerves are messing with your timing, I dunno. The name of the game is to be relentless (smart relentless) dodge his very short combos and tag him with two hits. If you hit him enough you'll get him into a riposte animation where toy can take off another significant amount of his health. Basically the more you respect him the worse it's gonna go for you. Pretend you're playing Bloodborne
Did it! Could not get dodging to work so I did Dragonslayer Armor Boss first. The shield you get for the soul has 95% lightning absorb. Tanked the fucker down.Thanks for the advice!
Anyone can help me out in understanding this system?

Cheers boys, I've finished the game and I actually have
the key, so I just need to run there and grab it!
Now, what are the best bonfires to gank people at?

This game is damn great.
It's a shame that it's so linear (so far) but everything else is fantastic.

Found a purple summoning sign. I don't want to co-op but it said it was a mad phantom so I figured it would lead to a duel. So I summoned them. I'm not sure what happened. I could lock onto them as if they were an enemy, but they attacked some regular enemies for me. I didn't want help to clear the level though so I attacked them, which led to a fight I won quite easily.
Not sure what those purple phantoms are about? Are they friends or enemies? Was fun to do some pvp though

Gank, I dunno, but a lot of high level duel action happens at I
rithyll.
Purple is you gambling. It can be someone wanting to co-op, or someone wanting to duel, or someone wanting to pretend to co-op and then murdering you when your guard is down.
I used poison arrows on a few of the larger, non-respawning enemies in the game. I also tried using rotten pine resin for various bosses when doing co-op but the only one I found it to be useful on was
Champion Gundyr.
Assuming the 30 breakpoint works like the 70 one, hitting 30% on the dot will still let you get the best roll.
This isnt official but from what I read here since the game is out,it is needed for a good ending and its only cosmetic in the sense it wont screw you over anything spectacular...
Like you though,still not sure so I only used 2 free level ups from him/her so far...
Oh I just did. Revenge never tasted so sweet.
I think I used like 3-4.

Interesting. So summoning a purple, followed by attacking them is not considered bad etiquette?
Yup, you gotta kill
Aldrich
My tips:
- The orbs he sends out do very little damage, so don't focus on them as much - unless they all home in on you at once.
- In the first phase, he only shoots arrows directly in front of him. In the second phase, make sure to get as much distance between him as you can, then run towards him, making sure to keep him in your sight the whole time in case he shoots a beam at you.
- A shield with high magic resistance is also useful.

I killed that giant with arrows from the ground floor. It only dropped titanite if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure what the etiquette is for them, sorry. Personally I'd wait to see what they want to do, but I don't summon period, so I don't know first hand.

Wow, would've never found this area without looking at the wiki. Mind blown.

he's just hard because of the cramped space, it's hard to reliably dodge in that tight space and he does so much fucking damage
not ognna bother with him though
Not too long, just another area away until they start appearing regularly iirc. You still need large shards to upgrade from +5, though.
Great info. Very helpful.
His second phase has been where I struggle.

Regarding equip burden: I've heard about breakpoints at 30 to 70 percent. Is it like II where you get gradual improvement in between 30 and 70 or are they hard breakpoints like in the first game?
Hm, but then how would I know if they are just pretending to help me? I'm interested in dueling and not in coop. Maybe I should stop caring about etiquette and just do whatever I want. I didn't really get anything for killing them though, so I wonder if there's anything in it for me in summoning them.
