This will not help you whatsoever, but I just want to pout that I've been on a low-level Bastard Sword for most of my game because in 30-some hours I have found only two large titanite shards. I don't know how many chunks and slabs I have found. I probably have enough of those to just keep leveling up that sword once I find that one more large titanite shard that I need. I really hope the level after that one isn't three or four large titanite shards or else I'm screwed for committing to that weapon.
That's my only rant. This game is wonderful.

Anyone know where to get large titanite shard from?

There are 4 (that I'm aware of) bosses that you can do first, so can you be more specific?
What chunks? Titanite?
Yup, for everyone you successfully invade you get 1 titanite chunk.
(you'll be constantly invading fyi)

Just beat the boss of Sinner's Rise. Used a Pharos stone to unlock the way to the Belltower. Is that where I am supposed to go next? Because the boss scares me.
You should try to change your approach if you can't beat him.
If you are trying to stay in front and block his attacks, try rolling between his legs and taking a swing at his legs before he tries to stomp on you. Rolling is much more effective than blocking as it gets you in position to attack as well as makes you invincible to attacks.
I'd come back to that boss at a later time. They scare you for a reason.
I'm having so much fun with the rat king's covenant right now. Maybe, too much fun lol. I've already upgraded it to +1.
Fav moment: Someone messaged me as soon as they entered and asked, "Why am I here?" I replied back with "To die!!" LOL. What's even worse was before I killed him, I poisoned him and hit him with about 6 corrosive urns, so some of his gear had to break. He died a slow agonizing death. I know if that was me, I would have been pissed, but it wasn't and it's so enjoyable. Especially, since the game is new, I know some folks have no idea what's happening.

I had to change my gear to fit the look of the area. I hope you guys are having as much fun as me, lol.
I've got his moveset down, i feel. I tend to stay on his back and his jump attack and heat pulse never hit me.. At this point it has to just be mental.
Any gaffer wanna help me?

I hope you followed up with a :

I'm SL70 and
. I'm using a dex build with a rapier/spear, which works really nice. For some tougher enemies I use my shortbow. It's still not upgraded because I keep hoping to find/buy a better one. Did I miss a vendor or something?

Is there a bonfire in No Man's Wharf? I'm out of Effigy's and I can barely make it to the boss without wasting all my Estus because of my low health and impatience. I found a shortcut but it's not short enough. :/

Just had a PvP experience, I'm playing as a sorcerer. Dude pretty much easily dodged every spell I tried to cast with ease. Casting is super slow, or at least at my level. I'm wondering if sorcery isn't the way to go for PvP or if my spells are just terrible currently?
No. But you can honestly run past everything.

I invaded a caster yesterday and this is pretty much how it went. I was able to roll through his projectiles with no problem and get in on him.

Happened to me too many times.

BTW, does anyone else notice that they got rid of dead body ragdoll physics in this game? Probably the reason why the dead bodies gets stuck in the wall?
I believe adaptability speeds up spell casting.
It's always been like this for sorcery in pvp. You'll never hit anyone halfway competent with stuff like soul arrow.

Really? Seems like that would be difficult in this level. I'll try running straight to the fog door.

So, any hint on where to go after Sinner's Rise/Last Bastille?

Nope. I had to clear a large portion of the area out to feel safe before challenging the boss.

Man, I really want to play as the healing cleric in co-op but it's hard with the
Sentinels.
Buy the ring and jump into the well or walk the way into Heides tower again. On the way you'll find the chick you rescued and she opens a path for you.

My body is [finally] ready. Damn you UK release schedules!
Thanks for the tip, have not been to that part of the area yet. That's my goal for tonight, otherwise my options are a boss, another boss, or another boss.
Yeah it's really easy. You got the first part down right? You should get to the ship without any problems if you
have lit the light or opened the shortcut
is only hard because you get zerged. The room above the fog gate only has 2 enemies tho. Just run past them into the fog gate
This strange thing happened to me the first time in the well in majula by the way, after
. At first I thought this might have been supposed to happen, but it didn't happen to some other people I know.
Does anyone know what that was?
the first bonfire, I randomly started invading another world as a shade, without any summonrings equiped. I beat him after some lag teleported me to his back and I got two backstabs in, so either my game got laggy all on its own or it definitely wasn't an NPC summon. Do you draw people to you with the rat covenant, rather than the other way around?
Does anyone know what that was?
Jesus Christ, fuck this
Seriously, holy shit. I need to chill for a minute.
Chariot with mobs of skeletons. Every time I take cover from the chariot, they corner me and I can't even move. I can sometimes kill the magic guys resurrecting them and drop the gate, but there are always a few left chasing me when I get ready to take on the boss and I just get mobbed.
First NeoGAF post! Just in time to be apart of the Dark Souls 2 OT too!

Hopefully I didn't mess up the spoiler
Area and armor spoilers
Just beat Earthen Valley and trying to make it through the Iron Keep my Fire Longsword +7 isnt cutting it, so I'm leveling Alonne armor for fire resist and a Royal Greatsword, hoping to move farther tonight.
Hopefully I didn't mess up the spoiler

I'd like to play some co-op, but my White Soapstone is greyed out. I am at the boss entrance area of The Last Giant. Any ideas why I couldn't put it down?

I just
sit in the little alcoves with my shield up not allowing the skeletons to get in with me. They get hit by the chariot and fall down. While they are down, I just book it to a mage, kill him, and keep doing this till the mages are dead (only 2 I think). Then you can finish off the skeletons or let the chariot kill them.
Are you online? Also I think I heard if you were in the champions covenant you can't do it or something?

Guys wtf? I just received 6 human effigies just by killing one enemy. Is this a bug??
Yeah, that is kinda my strategy, but it is not working out so well, lol. I just have to keep at it and I'll get it as usual. I really can't stand being mobbed in tight spaces while trying to accomplish a bigger goal. That shit irritates the hell out of me.

Second blacksmith is near the 3 sentry boss. If you continue down the path instead of going to the boss, he is down there. The petrified guy offers you gear for boss souls.
