I know, I should be better at PVP or learn to fight the boss myself, but this part of the game is one the few times in a Souls game where I've felt it was just plain unfair. Maybe there are so many invaders because the game is new but man is it pissing me off right now.

 

[Facism]

So I don't think I can wait for the pc version. How's the framerate and stuff on PS3? Does anyone think it is worth waiting?

game looks like shit and runs like shit, but it's that rich, creamy Souls goodness we all love.

COOP seemingly works at any level and everywhere. I've never waited for more than 30 seconds to get summoned anywhere, even in the Forest at level 45.

There is. In that room with the four-directional flame breathers and the spiked walls, look for a ladder leading up.

 

[Servbot24]

Am I stuck? I'm in the forest of fallen giants and talked to plate and went through the gate, and ended up dieing. Now I can't go through the gate again, it's shut. I have nowhere else to go. What am I supposed to do?

How many bosses have you beaten so far?

 

[AlimNassor]

How many bosses have you beaten so far?

None. I haven't even gone past the Last Giant. I'm stuck, it's the gate that closes behind you after pate. I died and now I can't get back through the gate.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

wow

Spoiler

ruin sentinels were annoying as fuck. didnt expect 3 at the same time

I'm stuck here

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Is there ever a way to bring back enemies that you've killed 10 times? This mechanic is really annoying.

I'm not sure anyone knows anything about how this works for certain?

Because I had enemies in Heide's Tower that were gone because I'd killed them and they'd killed me so many times. Several hours later and several bosses later, they are all back.

On the other hand, there are enemies that disappeared in Giant's Forest that were gone way before I ever found Heide's Tower, and they're still gone now. So I don't know how it works.

 

[Rojo]

So how do i invade someone on my friends list do our levels need to be the close to each other he just started and is casting on twitch i just want to ruin his day.

There's a ladder around the corner

is there any other times he fights you? I got the kmpression from previews youd see him throuh the whole game but all that happened was he killed me once in the castle then i just killed him last night in the fight behind a boss door... A litle bit anti climactic

That's the gate past the room with arrow launchers (lol i don't know the word for these) right? You don't need to go in there to face the Last Giant.

 

[AlimNassor]

Where am I supposed to go then?

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Where am I supposed to go then?

The door behind the turtle enemy, I think.

Wait, are you saying the gate closed, you died, and now you can't get back through the gate? It's still closed?

It's an optional area. Also you're trespassing. Keep off mah bells bro.

joined the bell tower covenant and i get a titanite chunk for every player i kill. isnt this kinda crazy ?

 

[AlimNassor]

Yes, I died because those stupid shield guys swarmed me.

 

[Jobbs]

This. I've found you have to attack immediately after they take the swig or else they can easily roll away. The drinking animation does not last the entire time health is being restored unlike DkS1. So frustrating in Belfry Luna/Sol when peeps would run away and get a quick swig in before I could attack.

it's happened several more times since my last post, dude. they just sprint away and estus, and it's so fast you can't stop them. you sprint to them but have little or no endurance to put the kill moves on them.

 

[Servbot24]

Where am I supposed to go then?

Go past the room with the turtle guarding it. He's easy to kill if you lure him to the arrow launchers. You'll have to kill those 4 shield guys in there. Lure them out, climb the ladder and wait for all but one to go back in the room

 

[ScottSullivan]

You are really overthinking it brother. Dont ask so many questions here. You could have find another beatable path already! Just try another area and summon help if you need it. Theres always e-4 places to go at a given time it seems like

Sorry, I honestly can't remember. I can't remember if I died at that point too. I probably did. There's no way to open the gate back up?

 

[Y2Kev]

Fuck the wharf.

 

[dubq]

How does Way of the Blue work? Is someone supposed to automatically be summoned when I am being invaded or do I have to do something special? Also do I need to be wearing the ring?

 

[AlimNassor]

how am I supposed to kill these shield hollow soldiers?They're just too strong, if i attack when their shields down i get countered, if i attack when they aren't attacking I do no damage and get countered.

No he's got a pretty specific problem.

Where can I find a magic stone?

The ones with the spears and shields? I just dodge to their left and slash them from behind after they've taken a swipe.

You gotta make them commit to a move, wait for them to be exposed, and then strike.

 

[Foffy]

My copy of the game is arriving on Tuesday, but I have a question about Covenants. Can they still be used offline? For example, every Covenant in the previous game allows you to pool and farm offline for materials to get upgrades outside of the Forest Hunter Covenant (though you can still get the Fog Ring another way). I wanted to know if that was the case, or does every Covenant now mandate online play?

 

[dralla]

Where the heck is the Pyromancer lady in the hub? She said she'd be there after I rescued her but can''t find her anywhere. I can't find any of the NPC's I've help actually.

 

[Jobbs]

at this point i have 55 titanite chunks and an npc vendor who sells unlimited larges, but the rare commodity is the lowly titanite shard, which is going extinct.

 

[WheelHoss1]

Fell down a pit in the Shaded Woods and got all my gear destroyed. Cost me 15,000 just to repair my rings! This game . . .

Also, everyone is wearing Drangelic Armor. I need some new gear!

Noob here- can you "break" the game?

Like- can you fuck up/die enough/miss something or stack points so badly that the game becomes unbeatable?

You can accidentally kill the only NPC that let's you level up!

 

[NeededSleep]

Can anyon tell me what those giant dead trees in forest of giants are for? you can examine them but it does nothing. Spotted 3 of them so far.

Thanks!

Also are there any swords to aim for like from ds1 the one you get from qualag*sp?

Was my fav weapon, so far nothing has been too exciting for me

Quick bump. Still haven't been able to find any info about the trees

Toss a lockstone into the mechanism in the "town square". It'll light the whole place up.

 

[nOoblet16]

Ok I am kind of frustrated now, why is it that my weapon never even comes close to doing half the amount of damage as my base stat? I've got halberd with 230 damage and +50 on top from scaling and yet when I fight the ruin sentinels the one handed hard attack only does damage ranging from 70-110. wtf? I tried to use a blunt weapon instead because of their armour and even that suffers from the same issue apparently.


And it's not just the sentinals, it's the same with those big guys and the royal guards that I need to fight on my way to the ruin sentinels (was never able to find the shortcut)
