It really does. I almost screamed when I saw them. Had so much trouble with that boss in
the first game.

Ugh,

What is the easiest route go for me now?
Ruin Sentinels
What is the easiest route go for me now?
I've killed Last Giant, Old Dragonslayer, Dragonrider, Flexile Sentry and The Pursuer. I've just entered Huntsman's Copse, should I continue or get back trying the sentinels again and again or go for Sinner's guy?

Lighting all the torches isn't a requirement - its killing the two trolls. Go back and talk to Milibeth an she'll give you a powerful weapon
(and by powerful weapon, I mean a laddle)

You can run by everything there from the bonfire. Going through the fog even cures poison.

Ah I killed those two. Who is Milibeth? The lady looking over the three sisters?

I was overhyped for this game. I was so hyped that as soon as the tutorial board booted up, I was disappointed. I guess I'd kind of gotten used to AC IV in 1080p, and man, it looked like butt.
And then the Forest of the Fallen Giants. It felt so easy. After dying a million times in Demon's Souls first world (but then again, I was a Souls newb back then), and really struggling in parts of the Undead Burg, FotFG seemed like a cakewalk. Heide's Tower. Pancakes. I was really starting to worry.
But it was when I started getting a sense of how big this game is, how many areas there are to explore, how many secrets there are to find, how it seems like every time I get summoned I find something new, and wow, I finally felt like I was playing a Souls game again. I was wearing that stupid Drangelic armor for so long, and so was everyone else, that I thought I would puke. But now I'm rocking crazy-looking Gyrm armor with a huge Gyrm shield, and I feel like Sandor Clegane.
Invisible Enemies? Hell yea! Giants with sorcerers on top that can 1-shot me like I'm not the tank that ends all tanks? Awesome. Yes, if you summon a lot, the game is a easier . . . but not easy. It's still devilish and brilliant, and it's everything I want from a Souls game. Someone earlier said that From has created the 3 best games of all-time. I'd be hard-pressed to argue . . .

You won't be able to
re-distribute your level up points using an item called the Soul Vessel
So, I think I got fucked over.
I was able to get
that's on the way to get the switch by Majula. I talked to her, gave her some clothes, and then used the switch. Of course,
was on the way, too. I see her fall down as the same time I did. Did she die? What can I do now?
I was able to get
a branch to unfreeze the Pyro woman
Dark Souls drop 4 cave dudes and surprise me outta nowhere. I get killed, but the woman

I assume you will no longer be able to (new mechanic spoilers)
redistribute your skill points

You don't want to drop multiples, but you can drop one at a time a bunch of times so you can avoid going through the discussion for each one separately.
HAHHAHAHAH! I hear your pain man...I just took a break to calm down after this battle...I had 20+ life gems going in...now down to 11....but that fucker is dead! My first go I bet I spent 20 minutes dancing around killing rats here and there but just watching more come, and come, and come. Once you figure out what is going on you will face palm. You got it next go for sure man. Was happy to have the Aurous armour and fast roll, but that was the first time the heide sword let me down big time, had to switch to fire longsword...a spear would be ideal here...the longer the better!

theres a guy who builds a ladder if you pay him later on. He's at the earthen place. I would just pay the cat if you want to check the place out now.

Yes, that's right.
I was afraid of that!
luckily, mine just watched me die not giving a fuck.
if she's not in Majula, she probably died.

Oh, that drained the poison from the boss...
health is dropping at an alarming rate and you need to have lifegems active all the time just to counter the poison.
the powerpuff girls
if you want to save your precious souls for both solutions,
there's a cape that gives you cat powers, you can farm for it in the shaded ruins, one of those thundercats might drop it. but there's a chance you get enough souls farming for that item to buy 5 cat rings

You killed Mytha in the poison pool without help and without draining the pool and it only took an hour?

I really don't like how sometimes I have to press the button seven times before my character finally drinks Estus.
Feels like every aspect about player movement has been made slower, which isn't really my favourite aspect of the game.

I'm getting ready to hop back in and will hopefully get past it in short order. I forgot about all of the Alluring Skulls I had and am going to give that a whirl with my Ultra Greatsword. Fucking rats.
There are some super high highs in the game's OST but everything else is absolutely lackluster and boring. The OST lacks personality, variety, and pardon the usage of the word but it also lacks soul that the predecessor had. Man... This game is a massive disappointment coming from Dark Souls I.
Edit: Already explained in the posts above.

I found another
in
resting white knight
the Lost Bastille. Should I kill this one? I killed the one in the Forest of the Fallen Giants, so I assume I already passed the point of no return, however bad I may feel for it.

If anyone needs titanite shards, you can farm them from the fat hammer dudes in
after the 2nd bonfire.
Harvest Valley
Somewhere between an hour and two. And yep, no help. Wanted to finish this the first time completely without help. So many lifegems lost. All weapon damage buffs gone. All Divine Blessings gone. I used a heavy build with a shield and half the time all I could do was get a new lifegem active between blocking with no time to hit the boss.
I wonder at what point it makes the biggest difference. I should probably still respect since I raised that to 30, but keeping it at 20 seems acceptable. Just reinvest those points in Vit or explore magic rather than being pure melee.Seems like those are mostly PvP consideration. I'm very happy with my estus speed at 20 ADP. At first it felt worse than dark souls and adp seemed to help that a lot, hard to imagine it's just a placebo stat
Actually I should see if there's some rundowns on how good/bad each stat even is. And it seems you have to hit between 30-40 to get the most out of STR or DEX.
