Sounds like a cool wrinkle for a few times, but I can see that getting very annoying if you are having trouble finishing the area. Can you summon support to help, or is it you vs 1, 2 or 3?

Dope drawing.
Alright, thank you very much. I realized I was getting that location mixed up with Things Betwixt and didn't go there because I thought I wasn't a different area.

It shouldn't hurt you too bad. You don't lose anything for dying so all that happens is you're taken out of your game for a few minutes.

You're doing it right. That's what many of us have been doing. It is the only boss fight that gave me trouble and it had to do with that bug.

I think it randomizes your appearance. My male character is suddenly a girl
Now that you mention it,
I think my hair and beard are different....what a weird feature!

That doesn't sound too bad then. I look forward to getting there.

I have no idea where to go now.
I have 3 big souls:
Don't know where the fourth one is. Please tell me I don't have to

fight the giant rat in order to get there (not the multi-rat horde battle, but the one in the Doors of Pharos
Oh! One other thing to note. Lets say your normal weapon is 200, and your fire weapon is 220 total. For this example, let's just assume a 110/110 split. The normal weapon's damage is only reduced by the enemies physical defend. The fire weapon will be reduced by both physical AND fire defense. It's less the fact that they have resists, its just that the damage is being reduced twice.
Yeah lol, lot of people going 'wtf?' in this thread when they suddenly realized their male character turned into a female. Ha ha, From is trolling us.

Currently using Large club, a +2 scales S on str. I think it's one of the best early Str weapons in the game. No swag, but does the job lol. So give it a try. Also try halberd or craftsman's hammer. That hammer has a great moveset. My str build right now got wrecked as I put points in adp instead of putting it all on str. Good thing I can respec.

So, I'm not sure if this has been posted already but it looks like FROM has stated that regaining humanity after a summon is a bug and you shouldn't be gaining humanity at all.

You're in the right area you just missed the correct path.
That giant rat fight is optional too.
Ugh, I think Lost Bastille is my wall.
This isn't even that hard, but just so goddamn tedious.
I know DkS1 got testing at times, at least then I was always motivated for that "one more time." Here, it's just "I could be doing something else more enjoyable right now." and I end up putting the game down.

Having to lure out these knight guys every single goddamn time I want to attempt to fight the Ruin Sentinels, which is definitely not a fun fight because it seems my character is a goddamn asthmatic that can't swing a few times without running out of stamina.

That's interesting and unfortunate if true. I think it's a great feedback cycle to encourage multiplayer in the game.

It's not.
But, they should realize that it's the best addition to this game. So many people willing to co-op. Keeps things fresh.I thought so. Because my build just ain't ready for that shit.

Ha ha, looks like they'll be patching that soon. Enjoy it while you can, people.
EDIT: Personally I think they should keep this 'bug' as a feature and instead reduce the amount of souls you get for co-oping.

I just got a Mastodon Great Sword! From a spider... but I'll take it!
It has a B scaling with STR. Looks like I got a Claymore replacement. Now if only I could find more titanite shards. ;_;

Lure them out of that door then jump to that bridge that has dogs, barrel and sickle swinging monsters. Then climb that ladder that can be accessed by walking on a ledge. They will get separated and it's up to you to decide how to deal with them. I use bow.
Or this.. but DO NOT pull that lever that opens the gate filled with knights.
what other bosses have you beaten

There's a shortcut where you can pretty much bypass the knights.
You might not be leveled enough to take it, because I went through there pretty easily. I did die a few times but they didn't put up that much of a trouble for me. You might need some points in agility and also boost your endurance if you're stamina hungry. Thankfully I beat the Sentinels first try so I didn't have to do a lot of boss runs. No Man's Wharf, however, was a long trek for me and it took me several deaths before I could even reach the boss. I eventually perfected my route though and made it quicker.
Oh yeah, the ladder, right?
There's a gate there that you can open that can be used as a shortcut to the boss. Just lure the guards outside and then haul ass to the fog.

I would love for them to patch it so you reverse your hollowing 10% every time you fulfill a duty and at 100% you gain your full humanity back.

Er nope, there's a door you can unlock where you can jump down from the
path from the blacksmith's bonfire.

So, few questions:
where does
go after the boss fight? He isn't where he was before.
Also. how does the
covenants work? I found
which one is to join? for both if you go fight the bosses are you kicked out/unable to rank up like the darkmoons in ds1?
Finally why does
have a different icon than the other boss souls? I know
where does
tark - the man scorpion
Also. how does the
rat and belfrey
2 rat bosses
Finally why does
the old sinners souls
he's one of the 4 old ones but i killed the spider(freja) and her souls is the same icon as every other boss

70/50/20 I believe.
I'm already a good amount into the game but I just now found out about this yesterday. Did anyone not get the
for finishing the tutorial area/killing those ogres in Things Betwixt? Not sure what I did wrong. I didn't kill the ogres in one go so that may have been it. Killed two and came back for the last one much later. Kind of annoying. Hope it's still possible to get in NG+.

There are 2 shortcuts to that battle. One involves opening the door that leads to a precipice and the other consists in ignoring all the guards, go downstairs as soon as you open that door you mention, run to your left and take the ladder as fast as possible. This is the quickest way to reach the boss fight BUT you won't be able to summon anyone because of the guards cramming the corridor.

I'm confused I though you could run to fight them without fighting anyone. Just run trough the room, up the ladder and into the fog gate, Also do you have online? Co op is funny and makes stuff easy

iirc there is no other cutoff, there's only the fat roll above 70%. Below that you have the same animation but roll distance and speed increases linearly with decreasing equip burden.

If you stand right in front of the fog gate they will reset and walk away giving you time to summon.

What?
That is really, really, really going to suck, and put a major block up to summoning.
Hope From doesn't fix it, or at least implements some replacement system.

No need, just go to the start menu and scroll over the options, there should be an option called messages or something

I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing the tip.
I agree. Regaining humanity should be part of the fun in Co-op'ing bosses.
Is that the one that refills your health slowly? I've had that one permanently equipped since I got it. It's very slow, but it has been a boon in not wasting healing items unnecessarily.
Yeah I get that, makes sense since the physical and magic damage of the weapons are about the same. I guess I just remember getting my first magic weapon in Dark Souls 1 and it kicked ass, not feeling that at all here. I'll have to get a magic weapon with a great base physical damage to see something kick ass I suppose.
No it nullifies a death and you retain your humanity. Afterwards it breaks but can be repaired for 3k souls to be used again. Pretty good if you like assistance through areas.
