Hunter bow most likely.

Also you have the option of burning a bonfire ascetic and taking her back into a fight. There are obviously some drawbacks, but if you are just worried about getting the achievement, then it can be worth it.
As far as her story goes, I don't think it is really affected by boss summonings, aside from maybe one extra line at the end.

Game is getting so good at this point. Started knocking off bosses solo and it's actually a lot of fun. I've co-oped pretty much all of them until now. Freja certainly got the blood pumping. Probably my fave boss fight so far. Fire infused Zwiehander to the face. Went back to sinner's rise and took out that boss after skipping it for a long time and that was probably the easiest boss so far for me.
In the gutter now and I think that should be the last big soul I need to really progress. Totally going to light all the torches down there. Too damn dark. Seems to be the only place that darkness has really hampered me.

Yes indeed! I'll PM ya.
Yes.
There are 2 characters I like a lot: that cat in Majula and Grandal the leader of the covenant of dark.
They are both very intriguing and have an interesting personality.
One character I miss though:
Patches. Seriously, where is Patches? It's possible that I missed him but it feels really strange a Souls game without that character.
A couple of general ones
- You can hit treasure chests with a weapon once to see if it's a mimic. If you keep wailing on it, you will break it and get rubbish instead of the treasure.
- Illusory walls are activated by pressing X(PS3)/A(360) in front of them.
- Your health is refilled whenever someone rates your message. You can leave 10 messages per character.

Oh, ok. Now understand why I'm being invaded by blue Havels with ultra-swords, greatshields and soul geyser sorceries, while I'm still @ lvl 150...
Yup, significant fix. She can survive Smelter no problem now.
AND REMEMBER
to summon her for the boss fight you need to find the 2nd bonfire in that area!
Petrified dragon bones are rare materials so wait till you find a weapon that's worth it upgrade it.
Sure.
I thought I recognized Pate's voice I swear I've heard Creighton somewhere else too I can't figure out where though.
-Ring of Soul Protection prevents you from losing humanity or souls on death. Unlike the similar ring in DS, it can be repaired at a blacksmith after it breaks, and can be used indefinitely if you have enough souls for the repair.
-Some NPCs won't talk to you unless you have high enough INT or FAITH stats.
-Don't forget about the room with the weird contraption in it on the way to Heide's. You need to return there later.
-There are hidden walls in some places you can open by pressing the Talk button when pressed up against the wall. You can find most of them by checking orange messages, but be warned that people also like to lie about them.
-Weapons degrade quickly in durability in DS2 and break when they run out. If you are a melee class, you will probably need at least two weapons to switch between. Resting at a bonfire restores durability if the weapon hasn't already broken.
-You need a special item to deal with the statues that block your path in certain areas. You will get it during the normal course of the game.
-There are some NPCs that you must summon and have survive boss fights in order to get certain items and achievements.
Yeah, no reason to stay at SL150 unfortunately. You're gimping yourself for no reason. Although you could rock all of that at SL150 really.
It´s about time to burn my huge stock of souls and level up, then. Payback time, Blue Sentinels

Yep. One of the reasons I kept leveling up with my main character.

That's Joe Sims. He hasn't done much notable stuff. Second stringer on a lot of British TV.
-If in doubt, exhaust dialog options with NPCs you come across.
-Never use all your stamina unless you know you're getting the kill. Always leave just enough so you can roll away after your last attack.

I thought the thinking was that NG checks for both soul level and memory and that NG+ beyond only matches based one one of the two. Has that been disproved?
What's your source? Both the Wikis state that it is not determined how SL and SM impact matchmaking.
No real source really. Just from what others have said. And I've done my own testing with co-op with a friend where at times we can't see each other signs because were too far apart in SM regardless of level. Like more then 100k apart in early game for NG won't allow use to meet up.
I know for invasions on my main character, I'm level 350 (almost) and I get invaded/can invade people who are only level 50, 100, 150, etc.
You have been corrupted by the dark havent you?

to me is the small guy of the Blood bros convenant, he sounds pretty wickedly insane and silly at the same time
YES
I hung on every word. It really felt like the dude had been through all of what he was describing,
Also...so soft, so smooth is great.
But the other crow is the most annoying voice in the series.
That's Jason Pitt.
Ah that makes sense then I must have recognized him from something I watched then.
i liked his voice but i hated his attitude (i did not have a token of spite) so i killed him
i felt bad....sorta...nah
Yea, awesome character. Forgot to include him.

Jeez. I've officially gone off to Dark Souls-dom. I went back to Dark Souls PC yesterday for no reason other than its a bottemless pit of awesome. I realized that I hadn't gotten the Brass Set yet, went off to the Catacombs for the requisite covenant ring. Then I noticed, hey, why haven't I maxed out my Fire sword? Off to Demon Ruins for the Large Flame Ember. Just on and on and on it goes. For no reason. Did you know I finally saw Upper Blightown for the first time?? I had always taken the shortcut, every playthrough. All this, and I'm still(!) at Iron Keep in Dark Souls 2, mind you. That's coming for me tonight. This series, man. This goddamn series.
From has opened a portal to my youth, captured that gaming glory, and wisked it back to the present.
And, quick question, is there any set in DS2 as beautiful as the Brass Set? With DSFix and that new VSSAO2 setting, mmmmmm sooogood.gif
