All of them. As far as I'm aware there's no exceptions.

Yeah, it ruins the feeling of really screwing up your game
Mmmm
Covenants ranks
Trying to get the sunbro covenant spell
Farming red phantoms gear
Do the assasinations quest
Getting merchant NPC achievements
I don't think I've EVER managed to kill one of those infinite stamina drakekeepers. Far less heart breaking to just run.

Dammit,
i can't kill the pursuer in iron keep on my own. I heard he gives out a very nice goodie.
You just gotta keep rolling son. Pump up that Adaptability.
I did it with a hex spec, dark hail, and lots of rolling.
Roll at him and to the right, hit him once or twice, then reset and do that over and over until dead. Don't get greedy, always keep your stamina high enough for an emergency roll, and just slowly whittle him down.

Really glad I came back to this game.
-Trying to max out with Sun Bros and start doing miracles. Tough to do at level 140 with al my stats in STR and VGR.
-Tried pvp for the first time in the blood covenant. That sucked. Immediately went back to co-op.
-I could now kill the undead crypt boss in my sleep if I wanted.
-Learned how to do pyro spells. Nice to have a little extra something to use every now and then.
-Finally made it up to the ancient dragon solo after never seeing any summon signs. I get summoned no problem all the time, but I never see anyone else's signs. =/
Now I'm trying to figure out what the hell to do with this ashen heart thing.

Frustration. I bonfire ascetic'd the last bonfire in Huntsman's Copse so I could get the ring drop from the boss.
Instead I get constantly killed. If not by the skeleton wheels that spawn after the last skeleton lord, then by one of the fucking black phantoms that invade me on my way to the boss. Frustration!

Risk reward sucker!
oh I know
I deserved a "git gud u filthy casul" for that post.But that doesn't matter now. I FINALLY BEAT THEM!
Dark Hail saved my ass at the last second. One casting and got two skeleton wheels with it.
Any ideas on how to build an ANGRY WIZARD for PvP? Doesn't need to be competitive, just able to convey the idea of a spellcaster whose arcane power is matched only by his irritability.
This is what I want to be.
Is Phil Fish collaborating on Dark Souls III???

Bait players down long corridors. Cast poison/toxic/acid/dark mist. Cast nukes while they get distracted behind the mist. Vary casting nukes and hex AOE spells.
Does this satisfy your requirements?
These giant salamanders are starting to feel the same. As far as I remember, enemies in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls this big weren't able to track you this consistently. Enemies that big aren't supposed to be unstrafable.

As an added bonus, you can't block any of the giant salamanders' melee attacks either.
This pissed me off so much. It doesn't make any sense because they're just normal-looking physical attacks. You'd think a Gyrm Greatshield+10 would block it, but nooooooo.
either way you DON'T want to do it at the Black Gulch like I did the first time :l

Lol. The Chasm at Black Gulch is always the first one on my list. Followed by Drangleic Castle, then Shaded Ruins, and lastly Darklurker. Worked well for 4 playthroughs so far.
Does it really matter? Once you've completed the three chasms Darklurker will be at the end of any chasm, not just the last one you did.

So after completed rat covenant, i décided to go back to Blue Bros...
Does the Délicate String (which increases chances of being invaded ) could help me get more red phantoms invasions?

Yes it does help you get more invasions to your world.

I know he demonstrates an exploit on the fire lizards but the fire balls they spew are so strong you'll most likely die before you'll actually get to them to do that.
I have no idea what's down there to make trying to do everything there worth it, besides a flame ring.
Some rather decent equipment is down there.
Poison is pretty great for killing him. Either use the Poison Mist pyromancy or use a bow and poison arrows (you can buy them off Gavlan).

Standing idle during 1h30.
Nothing Happens :/
Put down my summon signs in to help with bosses, get summoned > trap, this guy was with two red phantoms who wrecked me of course (but hey, they dropped "i'm sorry" carving, so i suppose it's ok right?
NO
Happened several times today, Is that a new fashion?
Not in memory range of the invaders and you bumped into a gank squad.
Where were you standing idle?

Thanks.
Well, let's go to iron keep then and see.
That's rather relative to your soul memory if it's a ghost town.From my experience NG+ is a bit of a graveyard when it comes to multiplayer
That's pretty alright try iron keep or the dragon aerie for the hot beds of activity. That's where I've had most success.
Poison arrows from above/behind is hilarious
The first one is coded to never ever walk up the stairs to the wooden door so he'll just take it. And if you shoot the second one from the alcove with the lightning healer mage thing, neither of the two up top will walk down the same stairs.Playing as a character that doesn't fat roll while wearing 3/4ths of upgraded havel gear, I've never actually died against these guys and can kill them in melee. However, when I realized that they were not just running in fast-mode but also had no recovery frames and no stamina?...it took me out of the game for the rest of the game.
As Minamu said, they have limited aggro range and can be poisoned.

Okay, the Jester chest has to be the most ridiculous piece of armour in the game. A flimsy bit of fabric that totally negates backstabs? Sure, right. Everyone I see wearing it always goes HARD for the backstab with a dagger -_-
I know I could wear it, or the Iron Clad armour, or Gower's Ring... But fashion souls!

I'm just too damn lazy to sit somewhere and snipe them. I bait the multiple swing attack, roll past it on run through the door. In fact, if I was any good at running past the whole section to the ancient dragon I'd do it. The drakekeepers aren't particularly fun to fight and although they give a good number of souls and drops it's just too time consuming. I do enjoy fighting the black dragons though.

Kill all the NPCs before you enter NG+ and the invasions will not stop.

I'm more referring to summon signs (both finding them and getting someone to use yours). I see almost none, now.
It all comes down to soul memory and location. NG+ is thriving just as much as NG, and once people reach the max level of SM, you'll see signs all over the place much more easily.
Ruined my character into a high level mess to mop up the rest of the achievements and enjoy high NG+ levels. Dark Crypt Blacksword is pretty great.
All of the bosses are better at higher NG levels. I'm thinking the game was balanced around bonfire ascetics. Even still, I got Looking Glass Knight on max bonfire intensity and I have more trouble with NG+ O&S on a typical DS playthrough.

Nothing will affect getting someone to summon you. But once you hit max tier there's loads of them.
