there is a similar fight in this game with more gargoyles that look cooler. (they keep spawning until you kill through their collective life bar) also the roof is similar.

Keep in mind that you need stamina to do mage stuff too. Casting spells costs stamina, dodging and running away costs stamina. Even if you're just standing there spamming soul arrows you need stamina. Likewise for health and adaptability. Even if you want to be a pure mage, you're going to need to dodge attacks.
Some people have been pretty down on magic in this thread, but stick to it and you'll be a god by the end of the game. Some of these bosses are dying in 4 soul spears, and the last couple PvP fights I've had were over in seconds.

What I'm having trouble with is dodging their initial strike. I've been dodging left or right out of habit when I should probably be rolling back toward the camera.
A question to you about your Smelter Demon fight.
Did you see that NPC after the fight at all? She died during my fight and i haven't seen her since. I enjoyed her backstory 
Having a problem with summoning my friend. We both have the name engraved ring, both have the same god. Problem is I can summon him all day everyday but he can't summon me because he never sees my summon sign. We both can easily summon other people though. Even tried going to new areas we haven't killed the boss. I can't figure it out and was hoping anyone here has a solution.
What's his soul memory compared to yours? Just curious.
I'm probably 25% through the game at this point. I'm enjoying it a lot less than I expected. Rating it on its own, it's still a fine game and I'm glad I got it. But so far it's my least favorite of the 3.
It's starting to finally feel pretty stale. So many areas that are virtually the same as past games. Same old woman droning on every time you try to level up.
They need to go back to the drawing board on the next one.
A lot of the combat feels sloppier. Estoc and spear miss constantly. Dual wield enemies are awkward. Enemies spin around you, constantly tracking in weird ways when you circle them.
And the voice acting is so bad it takes me out of the game.

Same for me. As soon as I caved and summoned help, I got him on the first try... meaning I let other people distract him while I manned the ballista.
I think she lived during it. I didn't see her sigh during the sinner battle. I met her after the sinner fight and she mentioned that she was sick. I believe she lived during the smelter fight.A question to you about your Smelter Demon fight.Did you see that NPC after the fight at all? She died during my fight and i haven't seen her since.

That's what I'm referring to.
on the shaded woods, you can go left, straight or right . go left
Want a hint, or the exact location?
Shaded Woods intersection bonfire. Take the left path, when you get to the end, look to your left and there's a small path.
Some trigger discipline. Lol
I accidentally hit 2 npcs so far.
But none got upset. Happens sometimes when i rest the controller on my lap.
Yeah, guess I could think of the stamina bar as an MP bar... which also depletes while running and dodging.
Got two effigies on my quest for the carpenter and had a party of 3 going against the boss, but I got him aggro'd first and cut me down in two swings.
you need a soapstone that you get from Pate, a guy in the forest ruins
thanks dudes.
upper right on the status page, it's your accumulated souls through the entire game. Supposedly that's what determines online matching, not your soul level.

Soooo, went ahead and exchanged the PS3 version for the 360 version after being disappointed with the PS3 version's performance.
Yeah, even with the tearing this is way better in my opinion. The large framerate difference is abundantly clear. The tearing is noticeable but not that bad really. I've seen worse, this isn't pre-patch Darksiders or anything.
If anyone is on the fence about which version to get...yeah I'd strongly recommend the 360 version.

Hmmmmm, so if I can summon him but he can't summon me it's because were so far apart in soul gathering?

You can't finish this game as a sorcerer without help from online players. It's fucking impossible. Patch this asap FROM. So much bullshit.
At first (late game spoiler)
and now
Ridiculous.

If anyone is late game and needs easy souls, cooping
gives 10k souls a pop.

Well, that's what I want to know. Is he higher or lower than you, etc. If he's higher and he can't summon you, but you can summon him, that might say something.

Endgame Boss(?) Question:
Do all the random Giants have this dream thing? Or just the one behind the king's door? Because I tried fighting that dude... it did not end well. Without going into too much detail, is there some kinda gimmick to that fight?
When does he give it to you? I've met him once already but don't remember him giving me anything.
nope, no gimmick, and yes, there are other giants with dreams, two more of them, i would do those first

Thanks!
you have to talk to him, then clear the area with the ballistas, and talk to him again and he will give you the normal - sized soapstone. you can also get a small soapstone after you fight the last giant boss
you have to wonder how some of these people got so far in the game when they have no idea how to play.
Yeah, it looks like they had high strength as well. With just Faith you get an AR around 400.
by cooping with others probably.

Is there a feel for a soft level limit yet? I'm at level 120, and I feel it's not enough. (Obviously, fist time through I don't have an optimal build.)
They probably had a pair of summons along for the whole ride. If I do use a summon, I usually wait until I'm at the boss fight.

How'd you get it? Didn't seem to drop if I give crowley the silky stones
It was a crow reward, yeah.
The miracle lady from Heide's should be in the tunnel between Majula and Heide's. You can pay her 2k to get access to a new area.
Or drop down the pit in Majula.
