It's disappointing how Mirror Knight tends to hang back after summoning instead of using it to his advantage.
Even the drakekeeper greatshield itself isn't that bad minus needing 37 strength and being a bit of the heavier side at 16.5. The only greatshield at default that's better Havel's one which is heavier and higher requirements. You might be thinking of the other greatshield that Drakekeepers can drop the greatsheild of glory(that's the kinda bad one)?
Why would you want that when you can have a defender greatsword? Not to mention it's not worth materials that you could use on other boss weapons.

I like the shield and use it a lot. If I am low on equip load due to weapon choice it is great, even when not fully upgraded, but otherwise I use a Greatshield since stability is even better.
However, as folks have said, I think the Defender Greatsword is a better choice overall if you have to choose. That was my primary weapon for ng+.
Yeah that boss needs to be buffed and his summoning ability fixed.

So how do you get summoned for the mirror knight? as a mirror phantom, I mean.
I would like to happen it once at least, it was one of the coolest moments in Demon Souls for me.

Red summon sign down in kings passage I believe you'll be waiting a while for a summon possibly.
fuck faith build and defender's greatsword. the offensive spells are pretty awful for pvp (WoG being the only good one if used correctly), the sword is not as bad but there are better options, and also it's super easy to parry.
I only wish that they could fix the lag and the phantom range of weapons.
oh, also GRS goes through walls. amazing
but yeah, it's not very fun, it doesn't work that well.

you just drop the red sign before the boss room, the trick is to wait for 5 seconds and then replace it. like that you should get summoned but it might be slow.

Don't bother. Summon rate is low and you won't have much action when you do because either you or the mirror boss gonna die very fast.
Might end up getting invaded ten times before you get summoned.
i actually didn't care much for any areas after drangleic castle so i dunno, all of them were visually impressive but in gameplay and design i felt they were pretty lame. aldia's keep felt like 3 rooms, it was massively disappointing.
my favorite places have been so far in the beginning of the game: iron keep, earthen peak, lost bastille, forest of fallen giants, i felt like all these places were a lot more intricate and felt a lot more like proper dungeons that like aldia's and amana.
I would be happy to get it if Maragidyne changes his mind.

It would have been cool if there was a ring or something that would summon you for that fight. Then you wouldn't have to wait in Drangleic Castle forever, and would get summoned periodically as you were going through the game

He didn't even get a summon off, I assume it's when he puts the shield on the ground? He always got staggered.
The Shrine boss was... Weird. It was alright though, just weird.

That boss was one of the most disturbing ones in the Souls series, in my opinion.
(
Way to easy to just cheese with a bow, and way too hard to fight without one, though. At least in my experience.
nah he's pretty easy as melee on the times i've done him. trick for me is having an upwards swing sword and just attack his arms after he does his thing, rather than trying to get his face

Is there a way to see how many kills you are away from rank 3 in bell bros? Or do you get a notification when you hit it, so you know w/o going to see the cat/gnome? I'm camping out in front of smelter's room so I can finish it off and join sunbros, I should be close.
He was the first thing for me to test sunlight blade on.
He melted like butter, but he was so... Wierd...

Guess I just didn't get his moveset down. Too busy being greatly disturbed by his (quite brilliant, I must say) design.
The higher your lowest stat is the better the scaling so you need everything very close together to get decent results. I don't think it's really worth it unless you are going that way stat wise.
Oh. I thought the lower a stat is the better the scaling. Wishful thinking.

It's insanely good on low or non-scaling weapons when all your stats are at around 20 or so. Mundane Avelyn and Mundane Santier Spear are the top choices for that.
Here's a video of my friend beating the Ancient Dragon with a (broken, lol) Mundane ladle:

That video was cool, but damn man. Those hitboxes. There were a bunch of times that I was watching and just went "Oh come the fuck on."

What kind of twisted rat bastard would even think to do that, let alone succeed?
They only apply to the area attached to the bonfire they are burnt at.
A magnificent bastard, Meat... a magnificent one.
Yes it does. Did you talk to Lucatiel at all of her locations?

I did, although I think I didn't exhaust all her dialogue at the Lost Bastile. Am I screwed? I found her at every other location afterwards, exhausted all her dialogue and fought 3 separate boss battles, keeping her alive.
If she ain't showing up at Aldia's by now, am I perma-stuck then?
If you didn't exhaust her dialogue isn't she still there then?

I'm pretty far into the game. In Majula in the house that is locked it has the map room. He talks about a hole he finished. Where was that? I assume it's where I originally found him, but I can't remember where that is :|

It's kinda weird. I talked to her at Lost Bastile. I don't remember if I did exhaust at that time, but for every posterior occasion, I did talk to her until she kept repeating the same things over and over. Right now I can find her summon sign at every spot (post-Ascetic) except for No Man's Wharf.
I don't know if it's a bug or what, because her sign does show up at every other location.
Will try winning a couple more boss battles to see if she finally decides to show her face at Aldia's.
It's the hole in the floor next to him he knocked the wall down.

His original location was (very,very early game spoilers lol)
Forest of the Fallen Giants. Go down the the ladder next to the 2nd bonfire, turn left, move forward, then left again, forward and past the door which had a fog gate, go up the big wooden trunk pathway and drop down, jump across the platform, kill the archer and enter the cave, turn left and head upwards.
Twinkling titanites and effigies everywhere. I forgot to equip any rings and i still made out like a bandit. ..no pun intended.
