I am not liking this 50% health drop on multiple deaths, I don't think it works particularly well alongside 1 Estus Flask.. :/ Just started getting enemies not respawning now too.

LOL I saw that as well. Man I can't wait to jump back in tomorrow. I might help people with bosses.

Use a Human Effigy? You could also go to Heide's (tunnel next to Shalquior's house in Majula) to pick up a ring that caps health loss from death at 75%.
You can buy Human Effigies so it's not too big of a deal.
invasions happen right off the bat as soon as you enter the level, in doing so it temporary cancels out the possibility of you summoning a coop partner. The cool down time must be about 15 seconds or less because a 2nd invader joined the area, during this entire time I couldn't summon for coop it locked me out.
The bell tower stuff seems to be more for trolling then anything, which is fine I'm all for it, but there is no real room to fightback in it at all. You basically have to make a run for it.
It was basically something they put together at the last min and tied it in to a possible farming technique.

It's possible to go into the bell tower with white phantoms. Couple people I invaded last night had partners. Maybe you need to summon them before entering?

Pretty much sums up my last hour of this game. F that place lol.
I summoned a guy and he just started fing its day up with some kind of long range blue magic attack. I got the kill though by slashing it in the face.

Yea bell Tower is gonna drive alot of people crazy...but that said im invading...need them chunks lol
The Xtortionist

as soon as you walk through that walkaway you are considered "open" for invasion from whoever is searching
it's basically luck to get a coop partner in time

Lol I had that in the wall outside forest giant tower bonfire where that hollow chucks firebomb down at you he was mid air as well. Happened when I came back from my bell tower invasion

I'm sorta stuck at the
. The NPC doesn't seem to help too much. I get one down before one of the others gets me. I have the Drangleic shield, so that helps absorb the physical damage, but these cunts just do too much endurance damage. I'm SL60 right now - should I go fiddle around in
for a while and come back later?
I saw that exact same thing happen three times along the same wall in Forest of Giants the other day. XD

I had to fight off like three invasions before I could go through Belfrey Luna, I wouldn't have made it without a lot of luck.
for Belfrey Sol I just disabled online after getting sandwiched a few times. By that point enough people were joining the Bell Keepers that I was always fighting two invaders at once, which isn't fun.

I heard that hes gone after you use him the first time.

What chunks? Titanite?
oh damn. that's rough.

Yeah going to do that!
So, you can buy as many Effigy's as you need? They feel rarer than Humanity in DkS.
I just beat
The Last Giant
I got a Soldier key, is that for a specific door?
And.. any recommendations of where to go next?
The Xtortionist

Straid should be right outside his cell. Also there's two Fragrant Branches in Harvest Valley.
Effigies aren't infinite but you can buy a good number of them.
Soldier Key
unlocks various doors in the Forest of Fallen Giants. Most notably it's used on a door on the top floor or the fortress area to access another boss. If that boss gives you trouble, just go to Heide's Tower of Flame and progress there.

Yea, I don't see why he has to spawn with a horde of spiders at the start of the fight and then have them constantly spawning in during. It's annoying enough to have to run to a fight over and over, but to have to run to a fight and then fight a group of enemies while dodging the boss before you can actually fight him... It's just stupid.
I had a lot of trouble with them but I ended up
taking out the first one on the platform, attacking the second on the platform until the third jumps up, and then just isolating them until there was only one left.
It just requires a lot of patience.

The soldier key works on a lot (3?) of doors. Just explore the Forest and you'll end up finding a couple of new path.

Late game spoilers:
The statue room in the castle is horrible ;-;
what's the "right" level to be for the last half of the game's content, what's the "right" level for late game dungeons, and what's the "right" level to be for the majority of pvp right now?
I'm level 80 and afraid to level up because I don't know if I'll outlevel the majority of players and be secluded.

Covenant stuff:
Took me a while to realize why enemies weren't attacking me in Pharos. You can pretty much afk there with the ring on and rack up lockstones.

Through Huntsman's Copse, which is accessed by paying the miracle vendor near the entrance to Heide's (coming from Majula) to move the gate.

In Shalquoir's house, and she isn't selling a ring that maxes health loss at 25%. There is one for gaining HP off of enemy kills though. Will the other one become available later?
EDIT: Ah, it's down the slope next to her house. OK, I'll have a look there for the ring. Any pointers to where it is?

Thanks alot!
The small spiders do massive damage and can tail you extremely well...I had such a hard time with that boss.
Also I was using Estoc which is extremely unsuited for this fight.The weapon can miss their hitboxes and can't crowd control.
It was so hard.
Yeah I was thinking solo and all three of them at once.lol

Anyone know where to get the ring that decreases equipment load?
im SL 97 atm and still finding people easily for co-op. invasions only so far at the bellfry.
edit: lol 20,000,000 deaths, it was 4 mil last time I checked it.
I thought people said levels don't mean anything anmore but now it's all about how many bosses have you already beaten before hand

I struggled (Lv 13 also). I used some magic to buff my Short Sword and managed it after about 6 attempts. His stomp caused loads of damage to me!

Late game seems to be around SL120-130. No idea about PvP but right now I'm SL77 after lighting the first
primal bonfire
Though I thought I read somewhere that player matching is now based on total souls earned, rather than pure SL. I don't know the mechanics of it but it might be worth keeping in mind.
Haha! Better to empty it now than during play, no?

Ok I am suck after the second great soul. Where do I go?
I got a key but every door I have used it on takes me to an item, all dead ends. The spider boss ends in a dead end too. Did I miss a location in the ghost woods?
