Guys. I am a big fan of Dark souls. Is Dark Souls 2 just as good as the previous games?

I like it better. Just cos the online is 20x better.

Are you at the rat boss too?

So annoying.

Not sure where I'm at, but the few fire arrows I had were a life saver

boss is driving me crazy!

Spoiler

I can't handle them on my own, and as soon as I set foot in the tower in human form, some god damn grey shade invades me.

How did you guys beat this crap?

Very cautiously.

I made sure to focus on one at a time, so I wouldn't have too many out on the field at once. This is the only fight I've used a shield for, as well, so I would keep the shield up and circle them to try and keep them close together. I also would try and take advantage of my rolling attack if I needed to dodge something but would be near the enemy I was focusing on. Outside of that, I can't think of anything else to say other than be careful. It's an absolutely terrible fight.

So in order to get more Cracked Red Eye Orbs, I need to use tokens of spite? I use them but nothing happens.

It's harder. Not at first but the difficulty increases pretty quickly in some areas.

For some reason it doesn't seem as polished as demon's souls though. ..I haven't put my finger on that one.
But yeah get it when you can and play with folks!

How did you guys beat this crap?

Lol will power. I died at least 6 times before I beat them. Make sure you keep them all in front of you and have either fire based or lightening based weaponry. I used a fire longsword but I've heard that golden pine resin does the trick as well.

 

[super-famicom]

I'm starting to cruise through the game now, but I still haven't found an INT weapon. I've been using an upgraded flame longsword since it's damage is all straight up without stats. I'd like an equivalent to something like the Moonlight butterfly horn. I see that one knight has a Moonlight greatsword, too.

I found a magic mace in a cave in

Toggle at the bonfire. It's not really an item you equip.

 

[Garcia]

Any help

When you are standing by a bonfire there should be an option to switch (Triangle button) between sitting or lighting a torch.

You can also light torches at any other lit pedestals.

This game is great btw

Press triangle by the bonfire and then X. It will go out if you put it away and you will need to re-light again.

When you reach the room with 3 knights in it, head to your right. You'll fight a boss and the 2nd bonfire and Licia are right after it. Be sure to pull the switch before entering the 3 knights' room. It will make the boss fight easier.

Thank you sun brother (whoever you are). You helped me breeze through one of the most hideous looking areas in the whole game. . . Fugly textures as far as you can see! And

Ok I talked to her but she's not in the room she's supposed to be in. She's still in the Tower of Flame. Any ideas?

BTW, those pre-order weapons are really weak, most of them are quality weapons with D/C scaling

I'm just interested in the shield and the axe that cause bleeding.

The last time I checked the death count, there were about 20 million deaths already in the PS3 version. It is just skyrocketing now.

I was wondering if the wearer shows up as one of transparent ghostish shades or like the pretty detailed ones that keep showing up at bonfires? Because it looks to me like the latter when I'm wearing the ring.

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)

You need a perfect pixel jump, don't go diagonally but straight parallel to the platform you're jumping off from. It's annoying because it's only

Forest of Fallen Giants(killed giant and pursuer)
No Man's Wharf (killed boss and took the boat)
Sinners Rise (killed boss and unpetrified the mage)

Got the game today. Loving it. Dropped 10 "Praise The Sun!" messages down just before the bonfire with the chick.

Getting dat fat healing yo. About 50+ votes on them within 3 or 4 hours. Bit naughty, actually, might remove them.

As a swordsman using one handed swords, are there any boss souls worth trading?

 

[malboroking]

Aw crap just bought the ps3version (sold my 360)

...and I cannot play this

Played a few hours and the framerate is stuttering constantly, at least in Dark Souls there were areas with about 30fps for longer period of times

This game runs CONSTANTLY at about 18-25 as far as i can tell.
The stuttering is nauseating, it actually makes me physically ill.

Guess I have to hold out for a next gen version

Yeah, it's a damn shame that even after downgrading the lighting and textures, the game still runs worse than DS. It never gets to the extreme lows that DS did in Blight Town, but it runs worse overall. I really dislike how the camera controls now too, and the controls feel a little laggy. Still a great game and I'm still enjoying it, but I'm really disappointed in the performance. PC version can't come soon enough =(

Hideous Woods could belong to a Playstation 1 game. No hyperbole.

Get summoned and help defeat bosses, you may regain your humanity that way.

Has anyone tried fighting the

the 3 ruin sentinels altogether ?

You mean solo? Or all three at once? I solo'ed them, but I

Spoiler

took out the first before the other two jumped on the platform. I then went down to fight the remaining two, went really slowly, used lots of throwing knives (they worked really well against them!) and firebombs because I was scared to get in range. Only when one was left did I dare really go close-range melee.

All three at the same time sounds like a nightmare haha.

Is Human Effigy the only way to get your health back to maximum level? And that item is quite rare in the game?

Not THAT rare, about as common as Stones of Ephemeral Eyes were in Demon's Souls I'd say. You can also (sometimes, % chance based? still unclear) revive after a coop session, but it's really random and possibly a bug that will get patched later.

You can co-op as well. There is also a ring which minimises the effects.
