Ugh, been at half health forever. no matter how many times I am summoned and complete my duty (big and small soapstones) I can't return to human.
Human effigies are so rare, too.
Why aren't you wearing the ring of binding?

You can dual wield any weapons, but you'll only be able to use Power-stance with weapons of the same type.
Yeah I was hoping to use that

Is there a list anywhere of what the unique boss souls can be traded for? I'd like to spend some of 'em if it turns out I won't need to swap 'em for anything vital
Thanks! Also, is it true that enemies stop respawning after killing them couple of times?

The feeling when you are in the champion covenant and have been getting abused by this game for days and finally start to see yourself becoming powerful..Thank you based fromsoft ;_;

I found out from the book honestly. I know her soul has some of the information and
the fact it's the same bug.

Iron Keep stuffs
Smelter Demon is an asshole. He's also dead. Seriously, fuck that guy.
Old Iron King is one of the most underwhelming fights in the Souls series. His attacks are ridiculously easy to roll through and I took him out in a measly four cycles. Smelter Demon should have been the Primal Bonfire guardian. He makes Old Iron King look like a Hollow Soldier.

Apparently there isn't and I'm still pissed that they ruined both the blue sentinel and blood covenants in this game with such an asinine design decision.

If by "a couple" you mean 12-15, then yes. It's great for clearing paths to boss rooms without taking damage.

It turns out that might be a bug and you're not supposed to regain humanity. I wouldn't depend on it so much now.Ugh, been at half health forever. no matter how many times I am summoned and complete my duty (big and small soapstones) I can't return to human.
Human effigies are so rare, too.
Fight the boss in a summon a couples times to learn to hold your own and then use an effigy, they're not that rare. I understand you can buy unlimited smooth stones to give to the crows which often nets you an effigy. There apparently is also
a thing you can pray to later of you have 0 effigies and it will let you regain humanity.

WTF. :/ Come on from what the point of the covenant if you cant even properly use it...
I agree. That was as underwhelming as the Dragon God in Demon's Souls. Speaking of Iron Keep, what's inside
that room that seems to be on fire on the inside? Is it nothing? And how the hell do you survive the lava to get the items?

No humanity for co-op and limited invasions?
Damn it From. Every time you mess something up
Win duels and you will be rewarded with red orbs.
Went through the
, that place where you're required to use a torch to progress. Visibility wasn't Tomb of the Giants bad, but you basically couldn't see anything past a few steps without one; lighting sconces along the way and seeing the ones you lit stretch behind you all the way down to the bonfire was pretty cool. The torch mechanic is still lousy; good job on locking out dual wielders, people relying on two-handing their weapons, and archers out of their chosen method of play.
The game also ran like shit. No wonder they took most of this stuff out.
As for the level itself, disappointing, like a smaller, far less impressive version of Blighttown. And DkS2's obsession with using poison for everything is really wearing thin.

Lose duels and run out of ability to duel.
This is some Tekken Revolution bullshit.
Which is ironic because this is namco published.

How have the ruined the red covenant? I'm sitting on like 15 cracked red eye orbs. They drop off the pigs and you get them for solo dueling. Not very hard to obtain at all.
Ooh, they're farmable. That makes things easier. I was worried there for a second.
EDIT: But don't the pigs disappear after you kill them enough? Ugh.

You have seriously no idea how much fun you're gonna get when this gets released on PC. The Co-op is almost a game on its own and with PC's lightning fast loading times + Steam Servers it will be pure joy!!

Should I tackle the Wharf or Sinner's Rise next?
Thinking in terms of difficulty and potential loot.

huh I'll have to take another look when I start up the game again.
On a semi-related note, I love that there are so many hidden ways to make boss fights easier if needed.
Looking up that Lost Sinner stuff showed me that if I had killed the Gargoyles sooner, I would have been able to use a torch to light up some oil to brighten up the Lost Sinner boss room.
Noooo must wait for sale!
Worst cast scenario, you run out of pigs, then bonfire ascetics, then pigs again, then cracked eye orbs.
This is a terrible way to handle it.
The pigs don't even drop it that often, why do I have to PvE if I just want to PvP?

I hot a tone of those, so I will see.

What bugs are there? The only ones I've encountered is the co-op humanity bug.
Also I still don't understand the hideous locations complaints. Even the most ugly ones are about on par with demon/dark ugly locations and the better looking locations far surpasses the best of demon/dark souls.
The game is filled with terrible decisions. If the soul memory thing works as expected, then that's going to be a royal pain as well.
The combo of Harvest Valley + Earthen Peak is the ugliest thing ever in the series

So farming them through duels is a terrible way to handle obtaining PVP items? Like really? It's perfect practice for when invading other players. I really don't see the problem.
You can just initiate duels by going to the statues where Titchy Gren is in the Blood Covenant. I don't think you lose orbs there, do you? I have not done it yet.

The wharf has way easier enemies but is a tad bit longer. Sinner's rise is incredibly short but the enemies can be devastating. Loot wise, they both arnt all that great.

Effigies are limited and Red Eye's are limited, it seems there is kind of an entropy in the game design to keep random invasions and coop on an even keel from an item usage perspective. It seems they want people to use specialized covenants for PvP.

Haven't gotten invaded yet. Kind of a bummer as i'm doing a ton of co op this time around. Did some of the area pvp but its not the same.
You lose another item from doing that, which you gain by winning battles with cracked eye orbs.
Run out of orbs, you run out of the duel item, run out of the duel items, you run out of PvP.
Then you farm the pigs until you lose that avenue and then what?
And soul memory issue makes it so when you pvp with another person and win, you are queued higher and higher with other people close to your memory. Which makes issues in the opposite direction.
Or join the Brotherhood of Blood Covenant, go to the statues where you join after the Executioner Chariot and initiate duels. if you win, you are rewarded with them.

He's actually optional. There is a ladder in the central boiler room that takes you right past him.
You can also get some by
trading in those smooth and silky stones to the crow. It is totally random though. I traded in 10 of them and got only 2.

I think I'll do Sinner's Rise then. Looks more visually appealing at least :lol
The ring is in
Heide's Tower of Flame, on the top of the drawbridge leading to the cathedral. it'll limit your minimum max HP to 75% and reduce the rate at which it decreases when you die.
Either get a bigass shield that blocks everything or learn his attacks and roll. Once I learned every single one of his attack patterns, knowing when to attack and heal was a lot easier. Really tough boss though. Luckily the one after him is cake.
You haven't gotten to it yet, keep going.
