Oh weird, thought you missed that. Than I guess you can summon even if the boss is vanquished?

Before that. Start at
majula and then walk to heide all over again, through the sewers.
The framerate doesn't seem to hit Blighttown levels, though.
I've heard that although the framerate is sub30fps on PS3, on 360 you have screen-tearing.
I wouldn't say opposed, but I'm personally not interesting in playing these games online in any way. It'd be nice if it wasn't forced on me, just like it wasn't in the previous two games.
Again though, it's not that big of a deal in practice (and online is not really forced on anyone). You still get plenty enough souls to do what you need to do. It's just an annoying thing to know that the world can end up empty, and really annoying to be coddled in trying to reach a tough boss for more attempts.

Soo....did they remove divine weapons from this game? If so what's a suitable replacement for my weapons?
Awesome- much thanks.

Ah, fair enough. That just seemed to be the case from an outside perspective. I'll find out first hand tonight!
1st - this contradicts all your complaints about enemies not respawning. Never mind the fact that you can use an item to makes them come back and they will be stronger. This makes the game harder.
2nd- you can, give it a rest man.
edit: Also, you can farm souls to your hearts content by playing co-op. jesus.
not that you'd want to, since you don't grind
No. Remember how you got to
heide
majula that takes you through a sewer-like area. Something might have changed on the way there now.
So I just did this against
the Dragon Knight guy using the Small White Sign Soapstone to assist someone, with three people total in the battle
Smooth & Silky Stone
I enjoy options and I always loved grinding in the first Dark Souls because a) I suck and b) the combat is so fun that it never becomes repetitive. Not quite sure how I feel about the change given the item to re spawn enemies at NG+ level because when you do eventually progress to NG+, those enemies will always remain a step higher. :/
Either way, this is the best game I've played since the first.

You might need a full white sign soapstone, which you get from a dude named
pate in the forest of giants after talking to him a ton.
Ah ok. I was wrong, you are on the right track. I just read the burg throwback and thought you may have been somewhere else.
I think you only get the token if you use the larger soapstone.

OOOOHHH ok, I see what you're saying. Very interesting. I really would not have even passed through there again if you hadn't mentioned it
(I already unlocked the path to Huntsman's)

Can anyone tell me what was in the wooden chest at the top of
, where you fight an NPC invader?
Those effers destroyed the chest and now I'm boned for that item
Belfry Luna

you should have saw the first time I fought the dragon rider
i entered the fight and within one second I was pushed off
The first time I fought him, he slipped off and killed himself.
Yeah I forgot to say you have to use the normal White Sign Soapstone to get the token of fidelity, it doesn't work with the small one.
Oh! Nevermind then, i thought that's what you were talking about. Ignore me!
So, you're just talking about another boss, i think the other person *WAS* referring to
ornsteinn.
I'm pretty sure you can summon anyone anywhere and be summoned by anyone anywhere for any reason no matter what.
I think that the only thing is that if they're not within your soul/level range is that you don't return to human. I think they're really trying to encourage co-op, so rather than limit when you can co op, they just limit your rewards if you shouldnt be doing it there. This makes sure people can summon people no matter what no matter when no matter who. Probably allows you to power level your friends too.
You won't have to. There's plenty to be had via coop.

How does a weapon like a mace even break. If a mace breaks it just turns into a differently-shaped mace. A cudgel is a cudgel.

So, what's the deal with being able to summon people in an area where you don't even have any bosses left? I was in the Forest just looking for things I hadn't found yet, and kept seeing summon signs. Why would I want to summon someone just to run around aimlessly killing grunts?

You can co-op, invade or use an item to respawn (tougher) enemies. You won't run out, just gotta be a bit more careful with those spending sprees

oh, ok xD
so just to confirm
Dragonrider and Ornstein are the two bosses in that Tower of Flame area, and that's it?
EDIT: read your edit. I agree, it seems like they're trying to promote this. I find power leveling unfun though, I wouldn't power level with my friends. When my friends play this, I'm going to play a new character and pretend to have amnesia about everything. lol
Just killed something which looked like a red crystal lizard but it didn't drop anything, what's the deal with that.
Also I found how the way to craft boss weapons but I don't understand how it works.

She's offering me the old dragonslayer spear and lost sinners sword but I have don't a +10 of either weapon type. Is it not related to weapons anymore? If so how come I can't trade any of my other boss souls?

I might sound stupid, but is there of increasing your HP meter if you've died one too many times? Perhaps there's an item I haven't encountered, and I'd hate to use what little materials I have to figure it out.
Indeed. I'll test it w/ my friends later. they're like lvl 20 and im lvl 100
something about a windmill made of wood. It's also covered in some kind of poison oil, would be a shame if something happened to it.
The direct answer :
at the second bonfire walk out to where you can touch the main axel of the windmill, light it on fire with a torch from the bonfire.

Human Effigy or use the white sign soapstone to co-op.
Either use a human effigy, or use a soap stone to be summoned into another players world to regain your humanity.

can someone make a list of the locations of estus flask shards?
i beat the lost giant and will beat the dragonrider today and it'll be helpful to have more healing available.

So what items do you need for the dead giants in the forest? 'Alas, nothing happened'.
Also, I killed the two
A gimmick fight done right!
Also, I killed the two
watchers of the throne, and there was a doorway in the distance I couldn't reach... There seemed to be no point to this area other than those 2 bosses.

That's correct.

Ahh. Brilliant little addition. Cheers.
Seriously, considering all of the locations, fire ascetic and the option of being summoned, you are not going to run out of places to make runs in. Not even close and that is why fire ascetic itself is not in over abundance. But of course, it is still available as an option if you just have to make even more runs than you need in a particular area and don't want to go anywhere else.
I think they really just want to discourage hanging out and over farming the same regions in your own world because you get what you need as you go and there are more than enough areas to do runs in as is. It's called pacing and better resource management. Aspects which are fleshed out much better in this game.

I just noticed that one of my messages has been rated 364 times! lol "Try attacking" Pretty sure it was the one where you have to hit a door so that the ennemies behind it opens it up for you. The one right next to a Pharros doorway under the 5 ballistas near the beginning in the forest of fallen giants.

Haha
One time I tried just bum rushing the necromancers. It didn't end well.
Edit: Also, on the subject of grinding at the despawning - It's really not an issue. Souls are so easy to come across, you just don't need to grind at all. I'm SL 90, still have loads to do and I haven't done any grinding, just played normally and done some co-op.
