You guys have no idea how hard I just worked for the souls I just lost. I am almost a broken man.

Really? I guess I got lucky, first time I went in the tower, I did die, because one of them invaded right in my back after I killed one while I was occupied hitting a midget. Second time around tho, Only had to deal with one after I had killed the one midget on the first floor, then went unto the roof, killed all of the rest of the small people and then proceeded to ring the bell.
Then I got invaded 2-3 times, killing them one after the other and went on after to summon a guy and kill those Gargoyles.

Hey, can someone that's pretty far in the game help me out. On the wiki there's a game progress map of the different zones.

It shows that the Cardinal Tower area in the Forest of the Giants contains
. Did I miss that somehow? Or is it a mistake in the guide?

I'm currently renting it and except for one bad jump, I haven't dies yet and finished the first boss (bosses?Since there were two). How am I doing?
Also, LOL at finding the bonfire AFTER killing the two giant enemies.

..Those aren't bosses. You're talking about those giant hippos in the tutorial area, right? because the true first boss is
A giant tree looking monster that when gets to half health, snaps his own arm off to take as a weapon
Plus the first bonfire is right next to the house where the 3 old ladies are..
That's a nice guide. Would be nice if the boss names are there too
bandit. swordsman has points wasted in INT/attunement.

It's a shame that the twinblade's stats are so garbage given the equip requirements and pure visual appeal.

I have probably added half of the total world deaths for dark souls 2 in the last 3 hours.

a question : saw an user review of the game on metacritic complaining that the lock-on system didn't work all that well, any truth in this?
on a side note : it's getting mostly positive professional reviews, saw only 1 French magazine giving it 7/10 and that one's gone now on metacritic?

go back to the three witches in the beginning.
Lock on system is fine, ps3 version here.

It works about as well as demon's souls and dark souls, which is to say that it's functional at best.
Cool.
Noted that too. French review is disappeared from Metacritic

Yeah, that is a hard question to answer. All three Souls games are great, and everyone is going to prefer a different one.
All I can say is that Dark Souls II is definitely a worthy sequel.

Yes, very important.
You'll get an tree branch item, that will un-petrify him. You trade him boss souls for unique weapons.

Backstabs are still there, I've been doing them a lot to the enemies. Each weapon class has a different animation. The secret for a good backstab, is this: secretly carry a knife. Don't use it in the fight, but then switch to it right as you get behind someone. It does insane backstab damage.

Damn son I'm finding this game WAY harder than DS1, the death penalty hurts so damn much early game because the amount of effigies you have is so limited.
Hnnnghhh I'm only at Lost Bastille so I probably have a ways to go, and I think I'm one of few people who preferred the iaito over the uchi so I know what weapon I'm on the lookout for now

Wow, I know where I am going next. Can you remind me where that is though
It's back in The lost Bastille. Travel to the
servants quarters bonfire
Branch of Yore(which will unpetrify him) in Harvest valley or from a merchant in iron keep
They're there, they just aren't always in the most obvious spot (right in front of the door). Not on every boss, but if you've done 15, you should have seen some.
Are you in champion's covenant? They disable all summons
Nah, I've been in Blue Sentinels and the Blood covenant but not the champs. I guess I've just missed them.
Nothing is worth your time, sweet prince.

From Reddit:
Honestly the best thing to do with friends I've found is purchase the Name-Engraved Ring from the cat in Majula for ~5000 souls.
All you have to do to connect to each other is put the ring on, select the same deity and within 30 seconds you'll be seeing your friend's summon sign.
What's cool about it is that as long as you have that ring on you wont see ANYBODY else's summon signs unless they also have the ring on with the same deity as you. Also works the other way where nobody will see your sign unless they have it on as well.
