there is an item that lets you respawn them for another 15 kills. it'll permanently make them ng+ level tho (apparently).
also respawns the boss.
and can be upgraded to +3!
they'll replenish once you reach NG+
...I hope!
also, haven't used any of my human effigies. I usually mini-coop to regain humanity by helping somebody else for something like 5 minutes?
also, anybody know what's with getting revived when the host dies? it happened a couple of times now and I'm curious if it's a glitch or a design choice?
I guess since my question has been ignored twice, that nobody knows the answer and therefore I can't make a decision as to which copy of the game to buy. I've rented the disc version and every 10 seconds is a hiccup where the PS3 has to try to catch up while streaming off the disc. The optical drive is whizzing and whirring like crazy the entire time I play. Does the digital copy of this game on PS3 have these hiccups that the disc version has?
Customizing a character and pressing "random" meant a 60 second load of 6 faces to choose from and it really struggled to do it as the drive was going crazy. Does this also happen in the digital version?

I still don't know what was poisoning me in the gutta'.
EDIT: Oh, I see.

I've only had a couple tiny hiccups on the digital version... very very very minor hickups and very rare. I'm playing on a 60gb launch system, with a 500gb 7200rpm HDD.

I have a feeling that since the thread is moving quickly that my question will go unanswered as well.
I found a fifth immediately there after, and one set of ashes to increase the flask strength. I also have no idea whether I'm blazing through the game or playing extremely slowly. I think somewhere in between.
Yes it does

How the fuck are people playing this?
The framerate is garbage.

Anyone that thinks the game is too easy should be playing the game with the champions covenant the entire time.

Same. Kinda sucks as I just loaded this up for the first time.

You need a token of fidelity. Just go and slap your white soapstone down, help someone beat the boss, and your in.
Just a word of warning however, I've been in this covenant for more than four hours and I have yet to be summoned once.
It doesn't bother me
yeah, it feels very undead burg'ish. if you go basically the other way from Majula's bonfire, there's a cave that leads to another area
(forgot the name, Heide something something, it has all those giant knights) - the regular enemies can be tough, but the boss is super easy.

Is it just me or it has been nerfed, though? I don't notice a huge difference. Closer to the
Eternal Warrior

I wouldn't know, I haven't gotten him to offer his services to me.
This is what I've noticed. Also attacks take a lot more stamina too.
I don't think you can upgrade rings... I believe you just find upgraded versions of the rings.
I upgraded the Bastard Sword to lightning to try out the upgrade paths. It lowered the STR/DEX scaling but since I'm only invested in STR, it might be worth the tradeoff. But if I took my Large Club + 10 with S STR scaling down that path, it would lower the STR scaling to B, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be worth it.
EDIT: I misread your question. Some weapons upgrade their scaling as you upgrade. Pretty sure the large club only started with B or A STR scaling. Something that scales off of two stats isn't necessarily better or worse, it depends on the weapon.
Wow, did not know this. Thanks for the tip.
ya, I ended up kiting him and the guy I summon spammed soul arrow until it was over. I actually tried the ballista method once but I was in the way when the dude I summoned shot it and it hit me and I died LOL. 1hitKO.
There is a boss close by or you can go to Majula and take a different route.

There's a couple of doors you can open with the key you got from the boss.
EDIT: Beaten.
Mine was supposed to be here today, but looks like it will be tomorrow instead.

Does anyone know how many routes lead out of Majula? I've hit a dead end.
3 afaik
That's how it worked in Dark Souls 1 as well. You trade stat scaling for the elemental damage.

I've only found two so far. One going to the
Forest
umm... Tower.. Flames... Hei...something.
hole in the center of the hub might lead somewhere, but I'm not certain.

Really? This boss is kicking my ass. Maybe I'll just go in, grab my souls and homeward bone out of there.
In Dark Souls it completely removes stat scaling. In DS2, the scaling is still there but lowered (e.g S to B). It's more like how magic weapons work in DS, I'm talking about lightning.

5 counting the hole and training area.
Go back towards the training area but not into the cave, you're likely missing one.
You're in for a treat, high quality and looks great. I had to check Amazon to make sure I only spent $20 bucks on it.
I understand that scaling in general is severely nerfed. Even S scaling is nowhere near as good as it was in Dark Souls. It seems that higher base damage + special bonuses (bleed/poison) are a much bigger priority this time around. Additionally, weapon buffs have been nerfed a lot -- only 30% damage max.

Fuck respawn limits.
In the first area, there's a jump I'm trying to make for an item. Normally, this would be a personal challenge; I can't quite get it right, but I'm so close I can taste it. Unfortunately, I'm afraid to despawn the whole area before this jump, so I'm actually going to give up for now. Just casting a cloud over everything I do.
Also, does anyone know how to compare new equipment to my currently equipped stuff? I can't seem to figure out how to tell how much dmg scaling adds on weapons since it only shows base until you equip it. I also want to buy armor but can't compare it to what I have without backing out and memorizing my individual pieces' stats.
