WTF, you killed it in one hit? Or you mean you killed it on one attempt?
belfry boss allows access to a key that allows you to make sinner boss easier
Okay, I went back to check this out. She does say something entirely different if you go in early.
http://youtu.be/AKUwYSuxl_8?t=3m58s This is what she says when you go in at the correct time. Spoilers in the video, obviously.
Below is what she says when you go in before defeating all the
four primal bosses
"Your soul is still frail and pallid...
If you proceed regardless, your fate will be more terrible than mere life or death.
But I will not stop you, if that is your heart's desire."

I recorded this but the quality is absolutely terrible on my ancient phone.
He means one attempt. Don't worry, I think it's bizarre as you do, this is the only game I've ever heard of one-shot referring to one try instead of one hit but everyone seems to use it.

It governs more things than dexterity did in DS1, so yes, assuming you're using a non-dex character in both game and you don't have to worry about dex scaling, adaptability is more useful in DS2 than dex was in DS1.
Ah, I see. I got him in one go, too - Dragonrider and Covetous Demon were the other two so far.
How so?
Huh? One shot means one attempt. One hit literally means one hit.

Toxic is like poison but worse. It drains your health much faster than poison does.
Oh hell's bells, after reading this I headed straight there to try this for myself. Happened on the first try. That's bananas.
Host let the cutscene play. It's exactly the same as it is when you enter having killed the Watcher and Defender earlier.
Wild stuff, that.

Hard to imagine something worse than poison. Poison's already as bad as toxic was in the last game.

You just level up really fast in this game for some reason, even at level 100 its like <20,000 souls to level, and that's insane. I'm like level 110 and I'm only 35 hours in.

One-shotting usually means 1-hit-kills in the context of most games
Dark Souls isn't most games
Went through No Mans Wharf today, easily my favourite area so far. Really liked how the torch was actually useful there,
Boss there was really easy, the design was cool though.
After that I went back to get even with
as he had been kicking my ass black & blue earlier today. Was able to defeat him on the second try this time, easily the hardest boss so far.
Have routes opened to both bastille and copse now, will have to see which one I'll tackle first.
lol'd when I realized that the long armed monsters are afraid of fire, made dealing with them a breeze.
After that I went back to get even with
fucking Ornstein

Hit my first wall in the game.
I (think I) have done basically everything else possible and am now in the
. No idea what to do after beating the
. Kinda bummed out, as the area is pretty tedious to explore.
Edit: Googled for help and I think I got it now.

My character suddenly became female! What the hell!? Is there a way to change appearance? I'm a decent way into the game when I suddenly notice my burly manly man is sporting a set of boobs!
It was the coffin.
Ironically though the normal usage of the term would apply more to this than most games lol. ie. That boss just one-shot me

Can I use it again and become male?

Asked this earlier and got no response. In the PS3 version, on my menu it says go online and it is greyed out. Does this mean I'm offline when I play? and how come it's always been that way?
Go back to the coffin in Things Betwixted and use it to change gender.

Thanks guys, male again. I don't know how it took me so long to realise!

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
OK... Is there some kind of extra move that you start if you press circle (on ps3) at the right time that you do instead of rolling? So far, while fighting a certain boss, he jumps up to do this easily dodged move, but instead of rolling, my character starts to do some weird animation that I never get to see completed because the boss kills me.
So I have been slow to get through dark souls and this is a large reason why.
It happens at the most random times too. sometimes it is a random rock, sometimes I can see the bottom of the world and sometimes I see spikes of textures sticking out of random things. Every time the color is whited out, like above, the whole screen dims to where I can barely see it on maximum brightness. As you can imagine when this happens (and it happens a LOT) it makes the game nearly unplayable and if it the texture on an enemy bugs out like on sentinels then I have no choice to back out of the game and 'reroll' to see if the texture that bugs out is something I can manage.
It isn't the disc, I uninstalled and reinstalled so my only conclusion is that it is the hardware (I have a first gen PS3)
FML, should have waited for the PC version.

Actually, scratch that. It just happened again and
this time the cutscene was different. The dialogue is the same, but in one Nashandra is standing there waiting for you, and in the other she comes through the fog gate from behind you. Good work, From. That's pretty neato.
LOL, this happened to me too!

You can break all the statues and you can rest at that bonfire without them coming back. That's at least what happened for me.

If you need help I can help you. sinta0531. Or summon someone on the bonfire before bellfry and HAUL ASS to the fog gate. Don't mind the first midget on 2nd floor. If you want to solo it, just go offline.
I'm on XBL, and I've moved on to
The Gutter
So I've run into my first real roadblock as two-hand str goes: Doors of Pharros
RRA is absolutely wrecking me. I can sometimes get the 4 rats down with stam to spare for a dodge before his first attack but it's extremely iffy. Beyond that I can't find any openings to attack. His charges and swipes are hard enough to avoid as is without trying to sneak a hit in. Even when I do seem to get around him he often jumps away before I can connect. Is there something obvious I'm missing? Also do white soapstones not work in Doors of Pharros?
Where you at?
