He is resistant to a lot of things, it looks like only heavy STR weapons can put a dent in him. My bro and I cooped it and he used a club and was hitting 300's at 35 STR.

Spoiler

He's weak to strike damage just like every armored enemy. My upgraded sword did nothing to him but my club worked great.

 

[Orochinagis]

Hmm, I actually did talk to him but he didnt' give me anything. Perhaps I should go back and talk more.

You have to talk to him and he will talk about the next area trap then Enter the area and the door will close behind you then a ambush will trigger, survive and the last part of that area will take you to his area then talk to him again to get the soapstone

I never see the small soapstone yet but it useless when you get the normal one

 

[Star Falcon]

Thanks for responses about summoning. Quitting and recall beating seems to fix it, but it does reoccur fairly regularly

 

[Ostinatto]

turn off auto lock

and herd them by circling around the arena and take pop shots

keeping moving regardless

will try that.

Lots of firebomb. Like at least 40.

lol.

thanks , but i'm not doing that. i paid a lot of money for this game xD

 

[Ardenyal]

Multiplayer, is it different in SP?

Yeah, seems like damage gets scaled back if you go MP. Most times it's easier to go solo if you don't have friends to summon.

Randoms just die and then leave you with a buffed boss lol

Also,
In the Forest of the Fallen Giants

what I am supposed to do after defeating the giant, going straight to the pursuer ? It seems I've explored everything in that area...

Overall the world doesn't seem as "open" as Dark Souls.

You get a

Soldier Key

that opens another door (go left after ladder down from bonfire) Its a cool progression .....anyone think the tree you meet down there is actually the

BTW - anyone who wants a cool armour set that enables you to stay light for early game, check out my unveiling in the tutorial area...no spoilers there, but if you want to see how I get it you have to watch my previous vid!

Looks like I'll be finishing this game wearing that travellers headgear sold by old hag. The drop frequency is ridiculous. I'm about to complete the armor set those giants in heide's ruins wear in just one sweep of the entire area. Effigy drops is frequent too.

Thanks old hag I always wear mine.

That explains a lot, lol

Whose idea was it so you can't buy fucking torches? What the fuck.

 

[Jobbs]

hey, guys, if you won by drinknig estus 4 times while your attacker isnt able to heal at all, and just barely won, then please don't emote.

 

[Wanchan]

I have latest patch character was created online as well. I tried placing soapstone all over forest and get the same message everywhere.

Are you in the champion covenant?

 

[UnObtainium17]

thanks , but i'm not doing that. i paid a lot of money for this game xD

I was able to stockpile that much as if there is a leftover souls from leveling up I buy that or chunks or gems. Good to finally put it to use lol. I enetered the boss with 38 bombs, finished the boss with 10 left. So still a crap ton of bombs.

 

[robotzombie]

Have you tried the Drangleic armor? That's been my go to armor till I got the giants armor.

Where do you get the Drangleic armor?

Also, to anyone, what is the cover/promotional artwork armor? How do you get that one?

And how do I get to the

Spoiler

Pursuer? I keep hearing about this boss being after the first boss in the Forest, but I can't seem to get any further, I just come up to a King's door or something

 

[UnObtainium17]

Where do you get the Drangleic armor?

Also, to anyone, what is the cover/promotional artwork armor? How do you get that one?

After the pursuer fight, walk past that area near a huge tree. Before that tree there is a hole in the ground. If you look down on that hole, you will see the armor set. Jump down and viola a great set. Look out for those soldiers playing dead though.

Edit: it is heavy as fuck btw. I suggest at least 18vit.

 

[SargerusBR]

Is the Elite Knight Armor worth it to purchase, or are there better things to get in an easy fashion?

Yes, it has good weight, A scaling in physical defense and it is baller as fuck.

 

[Hamlet Machine]

Where do you get the Drangleic armor?

Spoiler

after defeating the pursuer, you continue and will see a hole, down there you'll a corpse, he has the whole set of drangleic armor

You get to the

Spoiler

by going back to the area with the giant stone sword, on the right there's a door, you need the soldier's key to open it, (which you probably have), after some staircases you'll find him

Haha wow, then that ties exactly into the other question I just asked above...

How do you get in that house in Brightstone with the

bonfire

in it?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN RATED

please stop

 

[Astral]

What determines how many souls you get from killing invaders? Is it the amount souls they're carrying? I just wanna kill someone who's loaded.

 

[Nose Master]

The Rat Covenant takes fucking forever when you're at a high soul level. I have a feeling the ring you get at the end won't even be worth it.

Try the other area? I also found that the first spawn is almost instantaneous, so I usually just stop in for a quick murder after I die a bunch on my current dungeon or wherever. Lot faster than waiting around.

 

[daedalius]

Old

iron king

what a joke of a boss, 2 tries.

 

[Dazzyman]

What's the thoughts on mages? Still like Dark Souls or easier like Demon Sous? Is it still better to be sword and shield?

 

[Scher]

Some of these bonfires are freaking stupid.

The one in Sinner's Rise is ridiculous because it's right next to some crossbow enemies that as soon as you spawn at that bonfire, they start firing at you and running toward you. I thought bonfires were supposed to be a safe location of rest? wtf

That bonfire is easily the source of many of my deaths. I've warped there several times when I've needed to take care of something and I keep forgetting those archers are right there.

Why don't you just farm them until they stop respawning? Easy enough solution.

 

[Mutagenic]

The boss in Heide's Tower is pathetic.

 

[Mr.NiceGuy]

YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN RATED

please stop

Tell me about it. fuckin annoying. How about just a simple visual to indicate that without taking quarter of the screen?



BTW is the servers offline for the moment? I can't put my summon sign for the last couple of hours.

 

[Dartastic]

Why don't you just farm them until they stop respawning? Easy enough solution.

That doesn't change the fact that it's bad design, which seems to be more prevalent in this game than I'd like.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Haha wow, then that ties exactly into the other question I just asked above...

From the bonfire above last giant. Down the ladders, turn right, straight past the sconce, door, behind it is 2 spear soldiers, to right is another door, 2 spear dude again, and upstairs is the fog gate to the boss. There is also a way from it near the ballista room, and the hole in the wall is blocked by metallic turtle.

 

[Scher]

Why don't you just farm them until they stop respawning? Easy enough solution.

I considered doing that, but I simply didn't feel like doing that. At that point I kind of stopped caring about souls, anyways.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Oh, no, I get that. Some design decisions were clearly made just so they could be dicks. But harping on the fact won't change anything. Just farm them until they're gone for good and be done with it.

is there any way to farm humanity right now? I'm out

 

[Essay]

Oh man, I'm loving all the opportunities to get mobbed by NPCs when I invade people. Blue Sentinels should try to put their ring on in the central water-filled area at the Doors of Pharros. Nothing as exhilarating as fighting off a real human opponent, two mammoths, two toxic-inducing rats and an axe-wielding ogre all at once while waist deep in water.

Killing off the Bell Keepers is kind of fun too for that same fighting-off-a-legion feel. I've only found Belfry Sol though. Where's the other bell at?

Question about humanity: My friend just helped someone defeat a boss in co-op (after being summoned), but he didn't become human again. I remember being summoned for help myself, and I got my humanity back; is it a one time only thing or something?

 

[Comfort Jones]

In general I think I like the game more than Dark Souls but man a lot of these bosses are way too easy.

From has said it's a bug. You aren't supposed to ever get your humanity from coop.

I just wear that travellers headgear from that old hag. And effigy drops seems often, especially from those dogs. I ain't taking that headgear off till I'm done with my first play through lol.

it's a glitch, apparently. you're not supposed to get revived.

...great, isn't it?

It seems random to me. I've become human on both failed and succesful attempts. Maybe it just inches you towards humanity bit by bit.

Edit: oh, cleared by posts above

 

[SeventhSon]

Has anyone noticed how your posture becomes worse when your health is low?

 

[Gorillaz]

really? s it from a merchant? or a pick up?

 

[pretty done]

hey, guys, if you won by drinknig estus 4 times while your attacker isnt able to heal at all, and just barely won, then please don't emote.

and also, if you have to resort to running away to NPCs, don't bother invading at all

 

[UnObtainium17]

Merchant. That merchant " old hag" that used to be near the bonfire above the last giant boss, now in Majula.

if things keep going at this pace, I will be sl 350 when I beat this game.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up guys!

you really should become human, when you success full helped a player.

Hey guys where can i find the cloak used in this gif looks nice.

You do, sometimes. Some are saying it's a glitch, and some think there's a pattern to it.
