Yep. I got her shield after fighting her. I think she can either drop her shield, mask or robes.
I definitely feel like the game is harder I'm already stuck on scrub mobs lol but I did pick swordsman and I'm not using a shield

Both I guess. I don't know, maybe it just isn't suited for my playstyle.
Fuck yeah, beat the
after about 6-7 attempts. Tough boss, I was fighting him all wrong to start. Refined strategy and was victorious a few attempts later. That's why I love Souls games.
Edit: As for weapons, I've been using the Estoc since I first was able to buy it and I still fucking love it. Got it at +8 at the moment and it's so good.

well i wasted my shards and large shards on the twinblade. fml
I know that feeling. Hope I can find enough to upgrade something else. The feeling's even worse when you're underwhelmed by a weapon that used to be amazing, like the halberd.

I love Pokken!
IIRC Trade a Petrified Something with Silky
You can get a whip from
Snuggly's nest after trading the Petrified Something starter item, or you can find it on a corpse in the Huntsman's Copse
dont tell me the halberd is shit now. that was the weapon i was looking at next lol.
pretty done

Ranged should do less damage though. You don't have to be in the mobs face and risk getting hit a bunch for damage. I'm not seeing the issue here
Have you triedr's Twinblade?the Dragonride
I like it.
i guess you make that out of the normal twinblade? if so, i havent unlocked the option to forge boss souls yet (which surprises me, considering im about lvl85. i guess i missed something?!)
For weapons, I chose Swordsman, so I using the upgraded short sword and scimitar.
But, once I got lightning spear from
, I've been using that.
I'm SL60, so you may have missed it. It's pretty easy to miss actually.

You trade boss souls for weapons from an NPC.

The phrase "glass cannon" comes from being able to do a lot of damage but being able to take very little. And in this game in particular, you are very rarely at range from anything; enemies are constantly in your face, and often in groups which is a change from the other games. Every boss I've fought so far has had attacks that allow them to close gaps quickly, negating any "ranged advantage" I would have had.

I hesitate to call it shit - it's served me well in a few scenarios - but it's moveset is nowhere near as good as it was in the first DS. On the plus side you can use it with your shield up if you want - the damage is piddly and the stamina usage is great but you can do it. If the weapon description is right it only deals slash damage now, as opposed to being able to slash and pierce before. The new moveset leaves you a lot more open. On top of that you now get a penalty for attacking people too close, in which you hit them with the shaft of the halberd for reduced damage. You have to hit an enemy in the weapon's sweet spot so to speak. If you fight someone using a halberd they probably wouldn't be too pleased if you got all up in their face...

How do you get the treasure or whatever it is in the same room as the
It's on a ledge that almost looks close enough to jump to, but I can't seem to make it (even with no armor on).

Nothing major. Just some consumables I think.

Do you know how to get to it? Am I just sucking at jumping?

You can't get it from the ledge where you enter. After you beat the boss you can get to the other ledge and jump from there.
There's an area in my game that's completely fucked. From the first bonfire of
to the bonfire near the boss
every single enemy is frozen. They can't be locked onto or attacked but I can move them around by running into them. The enemies on the path that leads to
are completely fine though. Looks like no killing
. Resetting my game doesn't fix it either.

Where do I go after defeating
the last giant or whatever, the first boss I think
Just got into this a little as I couldn't pull myself away from Titanfall, but man I feel dumb. How do I use souls to level now?
Majula is a pretty cool place, I like the music there a lot. Didn't really seem to do much there, found a slab that let me join a covenant that I have no idea what it does, went off some random path and I've been going through
. I went with the Knight class and really need to find a damn shield.

Damn, that's where I was trying to jump from, but can't seem to make it. You're talking about the bigger L shaped ledge right? Not the small one you fall into at the start of the fight?
There is a bootleg Maiden in Black near the bonfire in Majula.
PSN is having issues for some.

Anywhere to get the Cleric starting armor? Shit looks badass.

Finally!! EU servers are up.
I'm on Xbox
Another move I love with the Falchion power stance is backstep + L1. Does an awesome-looking two-sword twirl with excellent range. It's great for punishing misses.
Rolling and backstepping still work well for defense once you get the ADP stat up to a respectable number.
I still keep a shield in one of my equipment slots for the times when I'm going through a new environment or when I'm learning new enemy patterns, but most enemies I've faced so far have actually had fairly slow attacks (albeit very damaging if they land a hit) that you can predict and dodge. The quicker enemies can be parried as well.

Just tried to start playing and it says I can't connect to the servers. Don't feel like playing offline just yet so I'm gonna wait a little bit I guess.

Yeah. You just have to jump at the very edge of the ledge. It's doable.

I have a bad habit of farming the same area over and over until the enemies stop respawning then I move onto the next block of enemies and repeat =/ I need to get out of this habit
