Black Gulch is as bad as everyone was saying, what were they thinking? Mind-bogglingly tedious.
Holy crap, he went down so easily after trying that out. Thanks for the advice!
Yeah, the same here. I finally have some free time to marathon this game and the servers are down.
Anyone?

I don't think you have to jump. I'm pretty sure you're missing an illusionary wall

But... there was a hidden wall there so maybe it was! :O

You don't unlock this until later in the game. You free a NPC who is turned to stone.

Speaking if that, has anyone used a token of fidelity? Are they only good for summon fights?
That's the area with the Sentinels right? And where would one go to acquire said branch?
Happened to me against the Smelter Demon three times about an hour and a half ago.
Unfortunately, I was the host.
I don't know if ADP is as useful as many claim. I'm also a dual wielder with ADP at level 8 and I can dodge and roll just fine. Can you really notice a difference?

OH SHITS IT'S UP ON EU GAMES ON DEMAND
LET'S GOOOOOOO
LET'S GOOOOOOO
There's an area in my game that's completely fucked. From the first bonfire ofto the bonfire near the bossDoors of Pharrosevery 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 toRoyal Rat Somethingare completely fine though. Looks like no killingBrightstone Coverats for Pharros Lockstones
Are you in
the rat covenant? it's not a glitch it makes them passive like the forrest covenant in DaS 1
That happened to me earlier today with
Ed, Edd, and Eddy
Sucks doubly so because I had managed to save him from dying earlier with a
Token of Fidelity

Broke up with my GF of 5 years tonight, this game is coming at an excellent time. The only person more miserable than me will be my avatar dying over and over and over. Haha. Can't wait for the morning post, I'll get a few hours in before work.

Jus beat:
Those 3
Those 3
bosses. Quite a fight. The first one is easy but once you take him dow and the other 2 come at the same time it gets harder. It's not that it's a very hard fight but I wasn't doing much damage and they could drop like half my health in one hit... so I was tense the whole time.
Does anyone know how you get that item that is in the same area as the bosses (once you can see when you enter but I don't seem to be able to jump and get it)

Correct. I got my first for killing
The Lost Sinner which is near the Sentinels.
Shaded Woods
killing the scorpion lady and return and talk to her husband on Shaded Woods and that easily makes the 2 most important ones.

Yea I am, now I feel stupid
You should put the ring on there and just wait. =)
Yeah I don't know where any of these places are so I guess I'll just keep going.

I'm pretty sure you get 10 smooth stones for each level.
Early game discussion:
I killed the Last Giant, hooray! I feel bad for officially causing the extinction though, but that's Dark Souls for ya.
But now I have like, 10,000 souls to spend. I started as a Knight, so I'm wondering if there's any suggestions on how to spend it stat-wise or gear wise. Don't want to fuck myself over too much, especially since there's somewhat of a soul cap.

Ugh I drop an item in the tutorial area for snuggly, save and quit then try to go in and now I cant connect to the server.
I really hope they fix this issue on the 360 soon. 3/4 of the time I've played has been offline. I love this game but its really putting a damper on the game for me. Haven't gotten done any summoning or invasions since I started a few days ago.

So while your avatar is on a journey to break the curse you'll be on a journey to mend the heart?
Sucks though dude. Best of luck.
If you're ever in need of some jolly cooperation on the 360 send me a message.

After you defeat the Sentinels you are pretty much close to The Lost Sinner. You can obtain a Branch there and between the Majula and Thing Betwixt there should be a road for the unpetrified lady. There you can get another branch and unpetrify the character for the boss weapons. It doesnt take much time really.
Brightstone Cove Tsendola
Lower Brightstone Cove
Couple questions for anyone that has beaten the game:
Edit: If anyone around SL 120 on the PS3 needs help taking down a boss, I'll be available shortly (30 min or so). Just send me a PM.
Is there anything I should do before beating the last boss and going to NG+? I know that Demon's and Dark both had stuff you absolutely had to do (get all titanite slabs, kill all NPC's for their stuff, etc) but I'm not sure if this one does since there isn't a whole lot of information out there right now. If you've beaten the game and can give me some insight, I'd much appreciate it.
Oh, and do I automatically go to NG+ after beating the last boss, or do I get time to do other stuff (explore and such)?
Thanks.

FYI you don't need to save and quit anymore. You can pick your prize right up.

Wouldn't worry about it too much but Vigor and Endurance are always a safe bet. You'll get respec opportunities later in the game too if you find a weapon you want to use that requires stats you don't have. The "soul cap" isn't really an issue honestly. I've done zero grinding and I'm at level 93 after 18 hours.

Started playing for a few hours. Very good so far! Comments:
-After last minute deliberations, I made a Bandit. Dex build for me this time around.
-Raised my adaptability up to 10 ASAP. Makes a difference. Put a few points in End/Dex too.
-I found a shortsword in the Forest and it's very quick and powerful. I've been killing enemies really fast. Just bought a Falchion and upgraded it to +1. It's even more powerful and just as (or about) as fast.
-I had two close calls but managed to survive somehow.
-Got the Ring of Binding Gotta love suicide runs in these games. Though you have to kill a strong enemy really fast when getting the ring.
-Enemies playing dead is cheap! But my past Souls experience is really helping. There was an item early in the Forest, and I picked it up, and I was like "let me guess, an enemy's behind me now?" Yup. Seems there are more surprise enemies now.
-No more sliding down ladders, noooo!
-Really like the gestures haha. I don't think anyone's mentioned them. I like them better than Dark Souls 1's.
-Fire effects are like early PS2 levels in the Forest :x
-Definitely liking the fast travel. Loading times are too long though.
-Framerate on PS3 seems solid in my experience. At least, there have been no noticeable dips.

Ok. Will do!
What are those for? I have a few, and they say someone wants them, but I don't think I've encountered this person. Is it the crow?
Yeah I don't know where any of these places are so I guess I'll just keep going.
If you clear
the skeleton lords boss in Huntsman's Grove, the next area, Harvest Valley, has two.
and boss weapons, there's also another NPC who trades boss souls for different weapons, who you'll have to burn a Fragrant Branch of Yore to rescue in the Shaded Ruins.

I think so. Not sure what you get in return. I think if you consume them yourself, they give you HP.
