I wonder what role daggers now have in the game. They seem to be able to stun lock a lot of enemies, though I've never taken them into power stance. Are they actually viable as a pve weapon?

That boss is definitely weak to magic. After you
Kill 1, jump, heal, focus the first one to drop down and then it should be ez peasy when the fight is 1 on 1.

So I think we can all agree that the
have usurped the title of "Most Obnoxious Enemy" from the Bonewheel Skeletons. I literally can't think of a single effective way to deal with them. Ranged attacks work if you see them before they see you, but if they're in a huge clump that can't be aggro'd one-by-one like in the

so it's not just me that hates those goddamn things. My mace is very short ranged and isn't great at hitting things low to the ground, and my magic isn't fast enough.

Weapons degrade faster but regen at bonfires and after you help someone beat a boss. Once it is broken though it is broken until you go to the blacksmith to repair it. I still need to study how it works though.

I charge head on and kill them before they kill me.
They're pretty weak so I just get in there and start swinging.
edit: I might be wrong but I think they're less likely to use the annoying attack if you're closer to them too.
Fuckin weird. Okay. I'll take it.
Do you earn a lot of money by streaming? I noticed there were two people currently watching your stream.
So for the first time in a Souls game, I'm getting my ass beaten into the ground and have no fucking clue what to do about it.
I'm nearly six hours in, still in the Forest of Fallen Giants, haven't faced a single boss, and I'm terrified of every single corner and hallway. I hate the new despawning system that makes me terrified of losing my souls, which makes me afraid to progress and I don't fucking know how to get around it.
Before, losing my souls sucked, but grinding them back was always an option. Now? If I lose the blodd stain, they're fucking gone.
Granted, I'm still early on in the game, so my opinion will likely change, but I really don't like this feature. This is easily the hardest game of the three, and I still can't seem to get used to the new combat dynamics. Facing two enemies is extremely difficult for me, and facing three or more is just straight get fucked mode for me.
I loved Demon's and Dark to no end, and bougth both on Day 1, but this game stresses me in a very very different way, and I don't think I like it. Maybe I suck? Probably?
I'm just venting, but, fuck, man... I can go fight the big armored dude that I do PISS fucking damage to, even if I initiate the trap that hurts him, which is hard enough as it is without getting hit by the trap myself. I can go in the room with the spear traps but fighting three-four of those skeleton guys at the same time is impossible for me, and I can't go through the trap gate because it already fell after the first time I went through it.
Someone tell me something that will give me some fucking hope.

Tried that. One will explode, stagger me, and then the others will go to town. I can deal with one or two (barely), but any more than that are like a wall to me. There's a room about about 6 or 7 of them in the

Alright, all respeced. Because it sets you back to you're original stats I still have 14 INT that I'll probably never use, and only 4 FTH that I'll have to level, but leveling takes no time in this game so it shouldn't be an issue.

Can someone please explain the 2 icons in the bottom right of the equipment status screen?
One is a ration (65/65), the other is 3.2 => 3.8.
Thanks!

Time for a new pair of glasses, the framerate is abysmal. Performance aside, the game is so damn good XD
I noticed this happening and I was very confused. Can't be intentional.

Anyone willing to help me out on PS3? Torches don't work for me- it's a bug I guess, game won't let me toggle at bonfires.
I'm hoping someone can come into my game in The Lost Bastille in the room with MCDuff the blacksmith, then when in my game light the torch in that room and see if it activates the blacksmith. If you're down, throw a summon sign in the McDuff room in the little alcove to the left of McDuff and I'll summon ya! My in-game name is whoompthereitis.
Thanks!

So rather than being bugged it just sounds like you don't have any torches.

If you have the attack to do it I think you can kill them mid jump before they blow up. I cleared those rooms out by luring them away and then charging them when they followed.

same. unless people are lucky enough to have lightning weapons. i pushed all the gnome guys down the stairs by force and raped a couple guys who tried to wait me out it was p damn funny

You find them as items throughout the world. Each one adds 5 minutes to the timer. They don't show up in your inventory, you just get more time. There might be a vendor that sells them, I'm not sure. Did you grab the torch at the very beginning of the game, by the first bonfire? It's like behind a cart or something
No Man's Wharf has some great moments.

What I presume to be mid game location spoilers.
What are some good dex/int weapons? Found a rapier but I hate the attacks so I'm still using the Heide Knight sword which I've been upgrading.
Oh my god this foggy forest is horrible ;-;

Yeah, I did. I used one torch at a bonfire in an early area, and lit maybe two fires with it. Since then the game hasn't let me do it again. Haven't seen any torch item pickups.
The funny part is I'm like 20 hours in...level 63 and I've beat like 7 bosses. I really think it's a bug
