Finally made it to the second forest bonfire and finally my warrior has a worthy sword to use thanks to that asshole sitting under the tree.
Progress.

Is there a reliable source for titanite shards and large titanite? I can't upgrade shit and I'm like level 80.
This has been the most annoying oversight by far. I've settled on my weapon of choice for now, but I was constantly getting new Dex stuff and getting a feel for damage differences, it was incredibly annoying to not be able to easily compare it to my current weapon loadout.
I got 15 bosses down on my sorceress, pure magic. It's as fun as my melee character so don't worry too much. Just don't count on using pure sorcery as some enemies are resistant. Mix in other magic types.
Thanks. I hadn't thought to look there since I cleared
Heide's Tower
Level 82 and I would like to know the same tbh.

Ok so my customers at work are getting neglected due to this thread. So if someone would be kind enough to PM me an answer I'd be much obliged. I'm getting game tomorrow. Played both installments in past but memory a little shady. I want a build that let's me roll and use swords also good for a bow. Basically, good damage with a falcion or halbread and good using a bow with heavy pull. What should I build on from the get go? I know str and dex are a must but what else? I use shields early on but once I get going I never use the heavy ones. Would rather roll to dodge and be nimble. How's the dual wielding working? Does it suck up stamina bar? Any suggestions would be so much appreciated. I have anxiety already after reading some of the changes. Please help a lost soul.
Oh, does wanderer come with good gear? Should I do petrified thing at beginning?
Thanks!

I said right in the message you quoted that I upgraded my staff. It's +3. And I'd say it's the only thing that has appreciably increased my damage, whereas raising INT hasn't felt like it's boosted it much. But I'm working toward the staff that an earlier poster mentioned, and it has B INT scaling, so hopefully that'll help me feel a bit more powerful. I'll re-evaluate everything once I get further in the game.
There are monsters in
Black Gulch
Can anyone confirm if there is any benefit to *NOT* killing that guy under the tree?

Ok guys, I've got a real headscratcher for ya if you've gotten this far in the game. I just remembered this bit and being really friggin' confused.
In the area just past the petrified girl on the gate mechanism,
Anybody have a clue what's up with that?
You mean the knight guy? I think he's just there to be a tough enemy a la Black Knight's in DS1.

Shaded Woods, there's a tree with a face on it, and when you hit it, it moans but doesn't do anything else.

Shards:
The ogres in the Valley area have a chance to drop them. You can buy some from the vendor at the beginning of the Valley area and from the blacksmith in Majula. Otherwise you need to find them on dead hollows/chests
Large Shards:
Aside from finding on dead hollows/chests, there is an infinite supply of them to buy from the blacksmith McDuff once you have given him the Dull Ember.

Despite me not liking the new death penalty system, I am loving this game! Loving some of the areas and enemies a lot more than ds1. I want more badass enemies like the pursuer though.
My bad... yes they nerfed scaling in this game compared to DS. The base damage for anything (spells, weapons, etc) is waaaay more important than scaling. They also nerfed the weapon buffs compared to DS. I think this was a way to make certain weapons more viable.
Not even in the same neighborhood, lol.
he'll just mess you up later on, so you have to kill him.
For the
Black Gulch
Grave of Saints (located at the bottom of the well in Majula) and The Gutter (immediately available once you clear the Grave of Saints).

Are DLC weapons already available in game and the code just give me early access to them?
Ahhh, okay then. Thanks for that info. I legit thought summoning a shade was going to be a PVP challenge mode or something. Good to know!

My game came in the post today but was savaged by my dog. The case is completely chewed up and the manual is covered in toothmarks but miraculously the disc is unharmed. You could call it The Dark Souls of game deliveries. Anyway pretty hyped to jump into this tonight

I didn't touch him, so I'll report in at some point on whether it was a good or bad idea.

Thanks! I was completely baffled at how I could play this game for so long and find so little materials to upgrade my equipment.

Least amount of lag in the whole series.
Cool, I'm playing as a sorcerer too. Where is that staff located?
On another note, my second character's save got corrupted. Shame since I got as far in 4 hours as I did in 12 hours on my sorcerer. Warrior is so much easier haha. Moving my saves from USB to the internal HDD now and hope it won't happen again..
same problem here in Switzerland...
In
Cardinal Tower area of Forest of Fallen Giants. It's on the bottom level of the room with the ballista trap. You have to use a Pharros stone to get it.

According to Namco official twitter account it will be up tomorrow for Europe
Me neither. I did on my alt just to see what he had, but he's so sad there. I don't wanna hurt him. I've been secretly hoping he's a sunbro and once i'm a sunbro we just high five every time we see eachother. And then big white text comes across the screen saying 'HIGH FIVE ACCOMPLISHED'
I'm not the authority figure in regard to this but I've almost completed the game and seen the majority of areas. As long as you search thoroughly, you will have enough.
Assuming I didn't miss any NPCs, I still have 1 branch chilling in my inventory.

Aha I see. Kinda silly but I guess it makes sense with it being the official release date.
I plan to start using that sword once I get my strength up a few more points. I love the moveset.

Are there enough Pharos stones found in the game to unlock every Pharos mechanism?
I've gotten some from being summoned as a grey spirit, so I'm assuming they're just an uncommon/rare drop.
Great now i want to go home and try it out. I bought it seconds before i quit last night, thinking it would be right up my alley.
You get pharos stones through the rat covenant. So yes.
Also, has the blue sentinels been working for anyone?

Have you tried craftsmans hammer? That's my favorite, but deals a bit less damage than my halberd as I cannot upgrade it. The moveset is great too, fast and tight swings.
I am just going around in a huge loop with my Swordsman...I reach the 3rd bonfire(well the one with the merchant in a small tent near it,then I die a short way after going down the ladder,around where the room with the ballista's are...respawn at said bonfire,barely reach my souls and die a little later from whatever...respawn...by now my weapons are damaged so I need to spend close to 2,000 souls for a repair,barely leaving me enough souls to level up....
Rinse and repeat...went from level 12 to 16 but thats about it lol...oh well.

Haven't tried yet, but I'll give it a shot tonight and let you know.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
So sorcery is nerfed this time around?
I want to start the game with either soul arror or pyrmancy, so that's kind of disappointing if I'm going to struggle. I want to start there because it's an easier ease in!

Told you I'd update you if the strategy I outlined for the Sentinels worked or not and it worked like a charm. Used Lightning Spear and a high-stability greatshield with a lot of poise and I was able to take out the 2nd one at range then move in to kill the third one at close range once I ran out of Lighting Spears.
