Yeah, about a good 50% of players pull the plug when getting invaded, 40% are waiting with a gank squad and the rest will actually try to fight you. Since sentinels don't earn money their blue orbs get spent on absolutely nothing.

Before going to NG+ you can kill all the optional bosses and you may want to farm twinkling titanites, petrified dragon bones & human effigies.
If you have high sin you get invaded also by
bloodbros
I'm really disappointed that Rank 3 in all the other covenants besides
Brotherhood Of Blood
Blue Sentinels
Rat
sunbros
sunlight medals
Covenants while somewhat better than the first game are underdeveloped and a missed opportunity again.
I've not had many disconnects I did get summoned just as they entered boss fog so that was a fun trip.
It's not worth being a sentinel I think with the way it is.
How do you know it was a ganker?

I always assume it's a ganker when the host is waiting there in broad daylight with 2 phantoms hidden off either side of the cave i just walked out of
A lot of invasion traffic in there today. Arbiters, especially.
A smart host would have used a great bow on you staggered you. Then let their phantoms have their way with you.I always assume it's a ganker when the host is waiting there in broad daylight with 2 phantoms hidden off either side of the cave i just walked out of
That exact thing happened to me. Host was wearing the white ring too so you couldn't single him out easily.
Edit: thinking of building an anti gank squad build. Any ideas? Besides wrath of god? Doesn't help that white phantoms can heal now.
Might have been me then lol. I love the greatbows very helpful to terrorize those who seek to kill you. And they can make people fall of the iron keep bridge so that's even funnier you just sit on the ember tower and they don't notice you then a single great arrow can send them flying.
I find that in 2/3 on 1 situations people are a lot less likely to dodge spells so GRS might be a good choice. Then I'd probably go for a hard hitting weapon with big horizontal swings, maybe crypt blacksword. Actually sanitier's spear would probably be the best with it's broken ass hitbox that hits on all directions with the twinblade attacks.

Man there was nothing fun about going down the well. Start to finish was tedious. Glad that is over.

Really? Even with 3.2M SM I can be summoned for Freja? I was already having trouble getting summoned for Nashandra and Guardian Dragon.
I wasted a bunch of materials trying to get McDuff's achievement, seems it's a bit glitches. Anyone have trouble with this?

Finished!
Well, the main story at least. Still a load of optional bosses to kill.

Same here, finished it two days ago, but did all the optional bosses along the way. I think all I have to do now is farm some items, increase some covenant ranks and then go to NG+.
Which bosses do you still have to do?

Congrats!
I have Ancient Dragon, Vendrick and the Royal Rat Authority. I haven't done the Dark Covenant dungeons yet either.
Currently doing Dragon Arie on BI 2 for the shiny nuggets. May have to go to BI 3 though to upgrade everything. Also looking to BI 3 Lost Sinner for a second Chaos Blade.
I'm sure there's other stuff that I haven't thought of. Gonna take my time.
Took you long enough lol. Jolly co-operation can commence what's your main characters soul memory?
Any tips on how to break the Santier's Spear? And should I upgrade it before I break it? The wiki says it's a great Mundane weapon after it's broken. I'm currently standing in a pool of acid in the shaded woods but it's takin forever :lol
Edit: Actually, I don't think acid works or these pools are something else :/

Do that or whack a dead corpse for a while.
Acid only works on armor/rings. You want to break a weapon fast, just go HAM on a wall.

Don't walls and metal things degrade it quicker?
Edit: beaten!
Some fellow bellbros can be real morons.. This isn't a duel, this is a protect the bell tower at all costs. Don't just stand there like an idiot and watch me die without lifting a finger...
At least I faced the guy again and killed him. Died first time due to confusion on what the fellow bell-bro was doing. lol

Why the bellbros can work like the rat covenant being attacked by your own allies suck.

Over 3 million. Not sure by how much though. Still a ways off... Although, does the God Ring and the Sunbro Covenant's widening of the range stack?
I'm in new game now anyway I'm 4 million odd on the main I've being playing faith estoc for a while.

Any good?
Thanks, acid does indeed not work. I'm trying to bash it against some rock in the cave but this'll take hours...
Edit: Not really, got it at Mundane+5 now
AwesomeShe's made mincemeat of the last giant with a single base estoc it's pretty fun once she can dual wield it's going to get a lot more fun.
After getting my ass kicked by king vendrick and now the throne room defenders (my npc's died earlier) I just want the game to end.
It's like a sick addiction. Love dragon covenant and constantly want to get back to the game but also want to rage toss my controller through the screen.
Why the hell can I not summon other online players for the end game?
Admit I suck as a basic level melee character with +10 claymore and vendrick armor.

What is even the point of the bells? I still have no idea.
ringing the bells specifically? Opens the gates so you can escape/fight boss/etc
Other then that, the bell keep is insane, what would you expect from a crazy guy?

Lorewise or pvp wise?
In Luna you can get acces to the key to unlock some doors and make the Sinner fight more easy for long range classes by turning on the lanterns in her cell, the drop rate item ring and an optional boss.
In Sol you get a rare item dont remember its name and a item to lower the int requirement of one spell and farming mad man armor set.
Lorewise it was to represent the love of the princess and the other guy from separate reigns ala Romeo and juliet so only them could rings the bells to express their love but in the end the reigns destroyed themselves and someone forgot to turn off the switch of those dudes. it looks like they were invaded pretty often in attempt to destroy their love (Lune were pretty screwed) starting the war between those reigns.

Tried enchanted path for moonlight greatsword. R2 attacks deal ZERO damage. Not worth it
Elemental makes R2 attack very weak, only the magic damage portion is functional.
Conclusion, if you have high intel, just go standard upgrade path

What's the verdict on using npc's? Are we for or against?
SeventhSon
Member
There is no one true way to play.
i say use them, particularly if they are for Bernhardt or Lucatile's questline...you can solo all bosses in the game with no shield later as a challenge run etc. I do want to see their storyline through....... so I hire them.

Most boss fights are 1 against multiple foes. Extremely bullshit if you just solo.
