I'm 12 hours in and still not able to defeat the first boss on the high wall of Lodrich, not even close... And the armoured knights still kill me most of the times...Funny times ahead i suppose!

Any of you has ever defeated a boss on his first try?

To my surprise I actually killed the third Boss on my first try solo

Reposting for the new page. Would like to know if I should restart now then =/

How far are you in the game? Did you

Spoiler

meet Sirris of the Sunless Realms or join the Rosaria’s Fingers covenant? You should have meet Sirris of the Sunless Realms after you got to Farron Keep. If you joined Rosaria's Finger covenant you fail her questline.

 

[SatansReverence]

all right, there are two I haven't down yet.
I can reach them befor beating the dancer?

Which ones?

Reposting for the new page. Would like to know if I should restart now then =/

Yeah you missed it, might as well restart. Just keep a save on a usb just incase also I always head back to shire after every boss because you never if anyone will show up.

Late game fire keeper spoilers:

Spoiler

I just gave the fire keeper eyes and now she's asking me if I wish for a world without flame. Does this effect the ending? I've been going down the Dark Sigil route and don't want to fuck anything up.

 

[Ricker]

I don't get it. Two towers are not kindled. All three fires are gone and two fires are kindled right in front of the big door (that won't open). The fuck?

Just to make sure,the first 2 times who douse the flame,it goes into a little cutscene and the last one,you actually have a cutscene of the doors opening...didnt you get that....?

It unlocks a choice later

 

[Zocano]

so I have to beat her now to advance?

I can see why they thought to list them but they're inaccessible until after dancer.

There are a few bone shards you can go get if you'd like.

But yes beating dancer is all you can do for now boss wise.

 

[Randam]

Which ones?

last two, but don't tell me where to find them.

 

[Neoweee]

Why do consumables say 0 on the quickslot instead of being removed? What's the purpose behind this fuckery? Some of these little changes are bewildering.

That is a great fucking change. You don't have to reorganize your bar when you run out of Embers or Moss, for example. It remembers that "hey, I wanted these in my quick use bar before I ran out, so I'll probably want them there once I find more".

Nothing bewildering at all.

I hate how From took out enemy to enemy damage, it burns me up when enemy archers shoot arrows through other enemies.

Spoiler

She appeared at the Firelink shrine, and mentioned working together won't be mutually benefical yet.

I did not join Rosaria's yet, so that's good.

The alt method takes a while, you'll be about 2/3 done I believe.

Actually wait I think it's more like 1/3

If it is only like 1/3, I'll keep my save since I like my character so far.

Thanks for the info everyone.

 

[Frillen]

A couple of questions.

1. Is there any reason to use the Estus Ring if you already have the Estus Flask at +7? Should I use the Sun Princes Ring instead?

2. When I beat the final boss will I automatically begin NG+ like in Bloodborne? Or can I continue to explore the world? If so, how do I start NG+?

 

[Steel]

They didn't completely take out enemy to enemy damage. Some enemies still hurt each other.

 

[Zocano]

It's there. Like in the other games, only certain enemy groups can damage each other.

Siegward died fighting the flame demon. Do I really need him?

Plenty of enemies kill each other

 

[JediLink]

Does anyone want to give me some subtle hints as to some of the optional areas I might have missed? So far I only know

Spoiler

Smouldering Lake. I also know I haven't fully explored the dungeon properly yet as there are still a bunch of locked doors.

EDIT: I'm at early

How much Vigor do you have? Estus Ring wasn't 100% at +7, but I always used the Life Ring as well. Without Estus Ring, I don't think a +7 fills a 1000 HP.

EDIT: Checked. Even +10 with the ring, it won't nearly fill your health meter. You should definitely have 25, IMO, in which case the Estus Ring is worth it.

 

[GavinGT]

He was wrong, the last two aren't accessible until beating Dancer. Also, Dancer should be pretty easy if you're leveled for it and you haven't dumped a bunch of stat points into weird stuff.

 

[Auctopus]

I wouldn't call that cheese. That boss is the real cheese-meister anyway. Good fight.

 

[finalflame]

Any way I can get more titanite scales? They seem so sparse.

 

[Abstrusity]

NPC spoiler and question

Spoiler

Well, there's nothing you can do about it now. Thankfully, the Titanite Slab you can get can also be found elsewhere. I think there's like, 7 of them.

+10 estoc is so good

can't dodge for shit and blocking her combos doesn't work. at least with normal shield.

Yeah, my Vigor is actually at 25. I think I will continue to use the Estus Ring. Thanks!

 

[GavinGT]

She has a huge windup before her attacks, so you know when you need to dodge. She also pauses for long period and just stands there. I mostly wail on her from behind and do a few dodges and she's down.

I used the Estus Ring for the entirety of both of my playthroughs, basically. It is freaking great.

 

[Zocano]

You're not gonna be blocking a few of the later combos at all. Gonna need to learn when to put distance between you and her.

Yes,known problem,which is suppose to be fixed with the patch tomorrow(1.04) and the friend password coop taking forever...

Have you explored Farron Keep, the poison swamp? There is a long ladder you can climb in that area, which leads to the Watchdogs of Farron covenant. In that room there is an item. Just go around on the outside balcony and there is an illusory wall you can hit to get the item, which is Dreamchaser's Ashes. Give the ashes to the old lady in firelink. Sirris will appear again in firelink and agree to help you out.

Late game spoiler so I will try to be as "vague" as possible. When you cross a long bridge to a city, you will be attack by a dog thing. kill it, leave the area and return. In ember form, you should see a summon sign on the bridge. Enter it to help Sirris out.

After killing all 3 lords of cinder return to where the Giant tree boss in Undead settlement. In emeber form, you should see another summon sign. if you help Sirris and she lives, you will get access to the Mount Maker covenant.

 

[Kaibutsu]

Lol, I just saw that there is an infinite souls hack in all versions of the game. Makes sense now how people can beat the game in 15 hours and be at level 90+. There is no other way that this is even remotely possible. I'm at around 25 hours and level 52 at the church area

 

[The perfect Dark]

Just to make sure,the first 2 times who douse the flame,it goes into a little cutscene and the last one,you actually have a cutscene of the doors opening...didnt you get that....?

Well I guess it was a bug. The first fire re-kindled itself , lol. Restarted the game and it worked.


The dark sword is amazing btw.

Totally doable if you don't go OCD about finding every item. My last playthrough was 23 hours and I did absolutely everything the game had to offer.

dreamchasers ashes

But we're you at like level 95?

 

[toastyToast]

So I started a new character and I realized that I missed out on a ton of shit my first time through. Did all the bosses but the items and NPCs, nope. I think I failed every single NPC quest there was available. Never freed the second vendor, no pyromancer or sorcerer. Never spoke to

Spoiler

Yoel

so he just

Spoiler

died

lol

Also realising Undead Settlement is a pretty cool little area.

 

[GavinGT]

But we're you at like level 95?

I finished at level 104. That's without doing any real farming. Just clearing out each area once or twice and popping most of the boss souls.

Iudex 'one try' Gundyr
Vordt

Crystal 'FU I'm a caster' Sage
Abyss 'slice'n dice' watchers

How far into the game am I?

Question about NPC stuff in Cathedral of the Deep:

Spoiler

So I dropped down from the rafters and got to Rosarias bedchamber bonfire, so I never did the Patches thing. Did I screw up stuff with him and Siegward? I went to check the well and Sieg isn't stuck in there...
