It also sucks that they all use Twinkling or Dragonbone to upgrade. Can't get enough fucking bones.

So I finally looked at an FAQ because after I beat
I was absolutely lost
I went to the
but that was more of a side mission of sorts obviously.
Anyways onto the
I go. I don't know how anyone would have thought to open that area next, especially in the way in which it's opened....
The Lost Sinner
I went to the
Belfry Luna
Anyways onto the
Huntsmans Copse
I don't think it is that bad?
Main problem is exhausting the dialogue with the priest so she will move.
You're doing a SL1 Covenant of Champions run?
I had the same problem, not helped that I was warping about and missed the area I was supposed to go to.
Seems I screwed something up with Lucatiel again 
Going by bird to Lost Bastille, I assumed I would be able to summon both Bellclaire and Lucatiel for the Ruin Sentinels but it seems like Lucatiel's sign goes away permanently if you call in Bellclaire? >_< Dismissing her and restarting from the bonfire doesn't help. And I can't drop an ascetic on that bird bonfire either, it just says I have to beat the area boss first With another human and lightsources, she did good at Lost Sinner though!
Edit: Wait, can I summon Lucatiel for RS at all? :lol My mind is playing tricks on me.

I'm at the
and shit is getting real. Is there seriously no bonfire between the fork in the road and the front door?

Blightown really derailed the crap out of my Dark Souls playthrough. I try to beat it every once in awhile but not too hard since the level is incredibly boring to go through. Dark Souls 2 doesn't have any levels that bland and boring with stupid poison enemies does it?

I have a weird question. In the pre release stuff they had someone with the faraam set and that eagle shield which deflects magic. What swords did the character have?
I can't for the life of me figure it out.

I have to say I love PVPing against katana people: their weak blows scratch my armor of the king, while I destroy their bones with R2 large club. And then, when the inevitable firestorm gets triggered, I finish them with a quick GRS behind the flames. I was NEVER good at PVP in Dark Souls, but in DkS2 I'm finally getting some satisfaction
I'm surprised to see few power stances with light dexterity weapons: you should retain the speed while doubling the damage with double attacks. I think I'll try double thrust with another build.

Nope.

I don't think Lucatiel has a summon at Ruin Sentinels.

Bellclaire? I don't even know who that is. I thought it was Lucatiel for that fight too, lol
Correct, she doesn't.
Indeed, I've been working on false info all day :lol Onto the Flexile Sentry instead!
Random helper.
There's another random NPC in the Gulch besides Lucatiel as well.

My buffed Katana does 2,200 dmg in one combo
Are you on PSN? Maybe I'll run into you at the BoB arena.My buffed Katana does 2,200 dmg in one combo
What kinda buffs do you have on your katana?

Pro's,
I need your help. Im still in NG (way overpower, I think) but I have 824k souls to spend. Could you guys advice me? Look at my stats and give me tips where to invest in or what to change with a Soule Vessel.
Good god. Even at NG+, my first character is only 187
My spoiler free tip would be: do it by yourself. I summoned help 15 times and failed. I fought him myself and won in like 3 tries. The extra phantoms seem to boost his defense. On my own and fully decked for damage it was cake.

Haven't had a chance to play much the last few days due to work, wondering if I should maintain the break and just wait for the PC version before starting up again.
Knowing that I intend on moving to PC as my primary platform - feels hard to justify spending time farming stuff. Have no problems beating the game again and again and again, but when I am in 'just run around and farm mode to upgrade more stuff/get rare items' ..rather do it on PC.

Holy crap that's a lot of VIT. Still at 5 vit and I don't have trouble fast rolling with two maces and decent armor. What the hell are you using?

Is it a lot? I dont know....Im using Great Sword (fcking heavy) and a medio core armor. I dont think its that much VIT.
I think it just seems high to me because I don't use shields. On my STR build (large club) I don't think I took it above 20

Yeah, I think if you are using a heavy weapon and a great shield, unless you're going to wear super light armor, you need to invest a bit in Vitality. The more natural equip load you have, the bigger the bonus you get from the Dragon Rings, too.
What boss souls is worth to make into a weapon? To consume or make a weapon?
Dragonrider Bow, the Throne Duo swords, final boss soul I think makes some good weapons.

I would spend it all on upgrade materials and consumables - chunks and every type of arrow, bomb, knife, resin, bolt etc, etc.
I'm on NG++ and SL135 and in no hurry to go higher despite sitting on 1.5M souls, I just keep a stock of goodies - you might not want those lightning arrows or whatever now, but they'll be nice if you respec to a faith build
Better than just needlessly getting way OP and flabby due to excess stats.neogaf fight club where.
power stance isn't really worth it for most of the weapons.
those people are probably using not buffed katanas, and any not buffed weapon sucks.I have to say I love PVPing against katana people: their weak blows scratch my armor of the king, while I destroy their bones with R2 large club.

This is based on your personal preferences and build. There are no right answers.
can someone give me the stats I need to have more or less until I hit diminishing returns for a STR char with shield and / or a DEX char with shield? Basically the 2 characters I finished DS1 with (actually the STR char was a mess with with wasted points in dex and faith and shit because I didnt know what I was doing, it was my first)
I want to have that type of information imbedded in my brain for when I start the game next week.

I love my shields, no shield is not an option!
You think staying under 30% is worth it? I've been fine staying anywhere under 70% (with like 96AGI), except fighting ancient dragon
We should come up with a location to always go to so we're likely to run into eachother.
Maybe somewhere near the soldier's rest bonfire? Easily accessible, and it's an optional dead end.
