All of my deaths have been falling deaths. I hate falling deaths.

 

[Scher]

Okay, From, I know you think you can force me to fight everything in the room by changing the way invincibility works when passing through a fog door and then placing two guards in front of the door, but I'm not doing that. It's not fun to clear everything out everytime, and I'm going to find a way to avoid fighting.

 

[enoki]

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

Bonfire Ascetic.

 

[RoeBear]

Not sure if everyone knows this but if you're offline and check the worldwide deaths, that is your death count. I'm up to 258.

 

[The perfect Dark]

I killed

Spoiler

Straid

an only got a black hood. Well, that was dumb.

 

[Jobbs]

Finish Iron Keep, talk to

Spoiler

Chloanne.

I have her in my town and she's out of shards..

I know which one you're talking about too lol. There's an NPC summon on the left if you're human.

Did you finish Iron Keep?

 

[Maybesew]

Had another good session this morning. Took down

Spoiler

jabba the hut and the headless medusa.

I currently have two dual wielding sets. Double falchion for a more pure dex and bleed. And then the fire long sword + heindel knight sword are my straight sword combination. The combo of fire and lightning gives a nice elemental dmg source when that is advantageous.

 

[perorist]

Placing red signs down on bridge at first bonfire in iron keep all day if anyone wants to pvp. PSN is makinamimari, SL100~

 

[ironcreed]

Damn,

Spoiler

Belfry Luna

is no joke. As soon as I walk in I get invaded by two grey spirits and get gang raped.

 

[RyudBoy]

Getting my ass handed to me, and I'm only about an hour in. Restarted a new character several times now, but I can't seem to get anything going. Had a similar experience with Demon's Souls. It took a very long time to get into it, although that shouldn't be the case here. I had a much easier time getting started in Dark Souls.

Oh well, time to die some more.

 

[Papercuts]

So what is up with these torches?

It seems like if I double hand a weapon or pull my shield out instead it just goes away. Is that right?

 

[Hyoukokun]

Where should I go next? So far I've tackled:

Spoiler

Last Giant
Dragonslayer
Dragonrider
Pursuer
Ruin Sentinels
Belfry Gargoyles

I seem to have hit dead ends in all directions, which surprises me - can't remember the last time that happened in a Souls game. The only places I can think of offhand are

Spoiler

the big hole in Majula and the ruins with the entrance blocked by a petrified statue

. Is there somewhere or something obvious that I'm forgetting to try?

 

[bidguy]

boss:

Spoiler

gargoyle fight was intense. i kept all boss souls but when can i finally forge some weapons out of then ? in at last bastion btw

 

[Y2Kev]

Spoiler

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

I did. It's still dark.

 

[soldat7]

Bonfire Ascetic.

How common are these?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Dammit, as a magic user I can't take down the

Spoiler

Sinner's Rise boss who weilds that big sword in the darkness.

Even with a torch, the lock-on gets messed up. Haven't had any success even with

Spoiler

Lucatiel assisting me

and now I'm out of effigies.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Anyone know where to get large titanite shard from?

Spoiler

The blacksmith in Lost Bastille sells 'em unlimited after you give him the ember.

There's a very nice ring that easily missed, you have to hug one of the walls and go up a hill to get to it.

What is that foggy area exactly? Is it

Spoiler

the poison pits in Harvest Valley?

Or somewhere else?

You have to use the

Spoiler

pharros' stones to fill the small pool with water. Hop in the water to get wet and survive the lava.

How long does the effect last? I thought of that, even tried it, but got still burnt to a crisp.

 

[Hystzen]

That FPS boost at start of No Mans Wharf holy shit caught me off guard that be cray

Have you been to the Wharf yet? Continue on the path after the 3rd boss you listed if you haven't.

 

[The perfect Dark]

I have only one. And that was a gift.

(Covenant question)

Spoiler

So for RatBros and BellBros do you have to be in the area with the ring on to get summoned or can you go wherever?

Put the ring on and you can go anywhere.

Spoiler

I think rats need to be in the area since you're summoning other people to your world.

Bell can be anywhere as long as you have the ring

 

[Gorillaz]

been trying to farm for humanity but not a single one is dropping it

wtf

 

[phierce]

Let me test it again and I'll get back to you. Don't want to mess you up.

Sweet...just realized Gilligan

Spoiler

will build ladders down the well in Majula for souls

. That's pretty cool.

 

[Ferrio]

So ya, anyone wanting to duel wield whips.... don't do it. Might as well be licking my enemies.

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

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

I'm watching videos on Gamespot & guy is spamming Soul Arrows on every single boss & tough enemy like the game is Demon Souls.

Looks like easy mode, I thought they nerfed the magic even further in this game?

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I'm getting spoiled left and right because I want to help people, but people don't label their spoilers and it's just fucking not worth helping people anymore.

Yeah, very annoying.

So (Bell covenant, maybe late game spoilers?)

Spoiler

now I'm mostly invading in a different place, with some sort of sunset lighting. I haven't even reached this place yet. Didn't know there were two bells to protect! Very cool. That area is much nicer-looking too.

Seeing how I'm literally dying within seconds against the boss I'm facing currently and how it was the same with the previous boss I had to face until I summoned two partners, I'm inclined to say it's not that easy.

I'm SL 63, playing as a Sorcerer. From what I've heard, magic has been nerfed. So far it haven't noticed, but I hear tell that later on magic isn't as viable as it was in the older games.

 

[Somnium986]

Need a little help with a boss

Spoiler

Medusa! How do you get the floor to raise so that most of the poison is gone?

 

[NIN90]

Is there a vendor that sells Titanite shards? Or an enemy (apart from Crystal Lizards) that drop them?

I already exhausted Leningrast.

Spoiler

Right outside her room is a ledge you can walk on and use a torch to set the shaft of the windmill on fire. That will do away with the poison

Im annoyed that they removed the tiered casting speed/dmg modifiers

 

[ironcreed]

Man, to hell with these

Spoiler

Gargoyles.

Two were no problem before, but this is a clusterfuck. I even summoned a guy and we both got dusted.

 

[JumpJeff84]

There's a cleric's chime around Majula, it's off a hidden ledge to the right of when you first come out of the beginning area and into Majula proper. Look along the cliff.

There's also a binocular, which lets you aim spells.

WHAT? A Bincular that lets you aim spells?!? Man, I gotta get that immediatlely. Any other magic users have this item yet?

 

[neoism]

does anyone know the best player on twitch...?

 

[ironcreed]

I'm not wasting all of my effigies on these

Spoiler

6 Gargoyles

just so I can summon. I'll come back after I level up and get some better gear.

 

[floatingcoffins]

Yeah, I missed it initially when I came in Majula - I'm playing as a sorcerer - I went back and picked up the binoculars. Definitely the way to go.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

SL 74 mage here and I have it. Got it really early in the game, but don't recall where.

Trying it out for the first time now; it's nifty, but not something I can see using much of the time and there's no reticle for precision shots.

 

[JumpJeff84]

Yeah, I missed it initially when I came in Majula - I'm playing as a sorcerer - I went back and picked up the binoculars. Definitely the way to go.

Sheeeeeeeeeeit

 

[GrimmUK]

This last stretch of the game is incredibly frustrating. It's just been straight corridors to the boss littered with a group of enemies.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Binoculars let you aim spells?

I thought two handing a staff let you aim.

 

[floatingcoffins]

Has anybody found the greeting carvings like in the DLC?

 

[Locke Lamora]

I'm playing as a swordsman and after ~8 hrs I found out that there's something like a "Power Stance" to swing both weapons at the same time. Why did it take me so long to realize that? For the first 8 hours I was just using the normal stance which is a pain in the ass against strong opponents. Finally my swordsman doesn't seem to be so weak anymore... ;-)

 

[ElFly]

They changed the Zweihander moveset.

I am crying

 

[floatingcoffins]

Binoculars let you aim spells?

I thought two handing a staff let you aim.

There's no reticule - it just helps aim for enemies that are farther than the target locking distance.

Two handed staff aiming was removed.
