Curse sword is actually the DeS hex, and I keep on mentioning it, lol. And yes, I am dumb. I was wondering how I used to apply curse sword on my weapon in DeS, and after pondering for a good amount of time, I remembered. I was trying to apply a hex on a sheathed weapon
The worst boss in the game hands down is the double dragonrider boss. Screw that boss all the way. Didn't even bother and used a summon sign on the floor. He had a smelter demon boss sword + some sort of extra fire damage. What is that exactly? He did a toooooooon of damage.
Till now though, NG+ is easy. I am almost through with the game, and have only played for 2 days.

To this day, I have no fucking idea how invasion works in DS2. I'm lvl 50 with SM of 90,000 and I got invaded by some asshole equipped with havel's set with ridiculous amount of hp who can one shot me with both sword and magic. I swear, his SM would've been over 200,000 with that kind of stats and items.

Is the DLC weapon
worth investing the Twinkling Titanite? Looks fun, but damage may not be worth it.

Well did you found all the covenants?
Did you free Ornifex?
Did you visit the sol and luna bells ?
Did you fought ancient dragon and Darklurker?
Did you fought the rat boss on the pharros key?
Did you got the 13 estus fragment and the 5 ashes upgrade?
Did you helped the two warriors dilema?
Did you met vengar, the scorpion guy and the sin guy?

Kinda random but
God damn, why do I suck so badly at Pursuer. I picked up what was to be my no death character (that died on pursuer) a few days ago and finished the rest of the game without another death. And yet, the last four no death characters I have started all died to first pursuer fight. I have some kind of mental block with this fight when I know I need to not die. Maybe because I generally fight him using a parry strategy, but that is too risky for a no death run that early in the game. Ugh, so frustrating.
And I know I can technically skip the pursuer first fight, but I like having the antiquated key to skip Ruin Sentinels. Oh well, I should probably cut my losses and not do him next playthrough. Feels like giving up though..
Also, as an aside I think it is super dumb that you basically have to play offline to get the "no deaths" ring. I could get disqualifying you if you summoned people, but I always feel like I am doing something slightly shady when I pull my internet plug before starting the game so I can go into offline mode. If I was more confident in how burning effigies worked I would use that, but the last time I burned one on a no death character, I was invaded not 15 minutes later, so I clearly don't fully understand how that works.

Hahaha, that reminds me, one time I speed ran past the guards to kill Mytha, and then idled around in the boss room and almost died at the guards who aggroed me after the fog lifted. XD

Fashion Souls-ing it up with my Exiled Grave Warden build.
The Full Moon Sickle looks damn good and reaper weapons in general are under-used, so some opponents are caught off guard.

Looking good!
Currently, my curse sword does about 700-900 damage depending whether I have the curse or not, but he did even more damage than what I did.
I actually did all of these things minus the last two, what are they exactly?
It can not be infused or enchanted that was probably what they had without knowing their stat's and Dragon rider's are weak to fire so that is why they did more damage then you.
Pate and Creighton's story and three different NPC's you can meet Vengarl, Manscorpion Tark and the pardoner.
Play offline? I honestly don't know, after a couple of attempts on both playthroughs on my last try I wasn't invaded. I don't know if the game took pity on me or there was no one available to summon who was around my level.
Thanks =D
So I just finished Last Giant last night, and I'm back in Majula. I have a questions regarding builds and weapons:
So I picked Swordsman as my starting class, and I guess I didn't realize that it was more of a starting point for a dex build. Not a huge fan of dex builds (always a fan of str builds in DS1) but I figured I might as well try it out, and I got used to it. I'm lvl 22 and I finally found a weapon I enjoyed using too, the Estoc (upgraded it to +1). It kinda feels as if the estoc is the best dex weapon at this early point in the game. The thrust animation set is extremely useful to poke with shield up, close distances, or keep away enemies, and the damage scaling is really good. Is it my best choice as a dex weapon in the early game?
I was also wondering about how I should level up stats as a dex build. I leveled up VIT and VIG to 8,STR to 14, and my DEX is currently 22, but I'm not really sure what stats are important for me. Should I be concentrating on dex now or are there other useful stats I should plunk down some souls for?

The only thing this gif needs is a "Dark Souls" banner to flash at the end like the other gif where someone starts to wave and then gets jump attacked.
Estoc's is a STR weapon primarily with regards to scaling. So you can keep using it if you enjoy it it's a perfectly decent weapon. As DEX scaling isn't that good it's best to keep it at minimum requirements for a weapon or 1.5 the requirements to powerstance your weapons.
You should place some levels in ADP to get agility to 90-110. STR would be a good place to put your levels along with END and VIG.

13 fragments
12
and what is this
sin guy
the guy who erase your sins
Alright thanks I'll do that. Never done dex builds before so all of this is kinda confusing ha.

Like Storm said is the sidequest about Pate and creighton that sends you to help one of them and gives the armor set of the one you helped and meeting those npcs grants you their summon signs for specific bosses (except the absolve sin guy).
The herald Max upgrade is to 12 estus but you can find a spare fragment out there (or maybe the spare estus fragment is the one on the water well?)

I have never made a dark or hex-using character before, maybe that's what I'll try next.
Kinda have a "cursed paladin" RP concept rolling around my head.
Suggestions for good dark weapons until I can get the Crypt Blacksword?

I used a dark longsword with resonant weapon (i'd use dark weapon if I made this build again today) for the majority of the game. GRS/RS/Scraps of life are great offensive options especialy in PVE
You can be absolved of you sins by Cromwell the pardoner in Tseldora.
A dark infused bastard sword or a claymore will work quite well both have C/D/B scaling with the claymore being stronger 203/203 at max compared to 196/196 both are available early on. There's also the silver back spear which has dark damage from default and benefits from infusion to boost the scaling to B for dark.

yup, I know that, I was asking regarding Orochinagis' post, since he grouped that with other 'hard to find' npc, I was wondering if it was Cromwell who he was refering to, it's the only one that I think fits the "sin guy" label and is quite easy to miss
if not seems like I missed something else lol

Is Soul Geyser still one of the most effective ways to take down bosses?

No recommended for the DLC ones.....
Of course but you can find 13 per run, I want to think the extra one is another fail safe mechanic.

You can continue to collect shards in either NG+ or by using Bonfire Ascetics, but they can't be used to further upgrade your flask. 12 uses is the maximum amount.

Thought I'd cruise through NG++, but it has proven to be a bit more difficult than I anticipated. The damn Belfry gargoyles are wrecking my shit like nothing else, goddamn.
I know what you mean. Bosses have an absurd amount of health. I'm considering respeccing for bare minimum weapon requirements, 30/30 INT/Faith for Dark Weapon. IDK what else to do.

That was nerfed a long time ago. It's really bad now. You're better off getting crystal soul spears.

Someone please throw your summon sign down at Shrine of Armana first bonfire. I'm losing patience with the casters, blue phantoms and dark spirits that keep invading

So... I haven't been invaded yet. I burned a huma effigy forever ago and still not sure if the effect wore off. Rereading the item description, do I weaken the link just by using one as well (to go human)? I want the true experience.
How do I strengthen the link and what's the easiest way to check if the effect wore off?

How the fuck did that dude die at 2:10? Did the stone dude actually swing back the projectile?
Well I beat DS2 for the first time today and moved on to the DLC. I thought I was going to finish the DLC tonight but fuck that last boss. Spending the entire fight sprinting from one side of the arena to the other is not what I call exciting. It's boring and annoying.
But clearly I'm in the minority from what I'm reading on the internet.
