boss fight in Sinner's Rise reminds me a lot of Artorias in the Abyss DLC from Dark Souls 1.

Timing up your rolls carefully during his strikes to set up an attack or two.

I've already vanquished 20 filthy humans for the Rat King.
Glory to the Rat King.

Last guy, died to my acid traps when he tried to run away from me.

Is there a way I can tell what level I should be at to be able to use these?

I am assuming this is your first Souls game? Check out this video, it will be helpful! and good luck!

Holy shit. Using Bonfire Ascetics to strengthen the mobs in Grave of Saints works for the Rat Covenant.
Holy shit!

Can I skirt the rockwall here? I see lots of bloodstains showing people falling off, but not in that direction.

Also, GeDoSaTo is not a fan of alt-tabbing.

Nope. Just get the chest and that's all there is out there.

Yes, but be careful because the boss respawns too and can be a real pain in the ass if you're not leveled up enough. You can't turn in your rat tails without fighting the boss again.

How am I supposed to beat this weasel king? It seems as though co-op is blocked against him, which is trash tier design if that is the case.

 

[Asiriya]

I want to get the Black Armour PC version but it's not available on Amazon; though it was a few months ago, and is for PS360. Have they sold out of PC versions or?

The boss didn't respawn for me?

 

[sixghost]

Just level would be enough for that, Soul Memory makes no sense. If I get millions of souls helping people but don't ever level up, I won't one shot anything.

I guess you didn't play Dark Souls 1.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Hug is left hind leg and stay close to it and between his legs

The problem is his weasel minions. There is no point in having minions to defend you if you start fighting before they prove to not be a match. It would make more sense for when you kill his minions he jumps down to fight.

Lure them back to the lift, one at a time. Step on the lift to send it back up, which reveals a small hole filled with water. Let them attack you and they will fall into the hole and die instantly.

I fucking LOVE this game.

Question: is it worth putting points into vitality? Will I be able to carry heavier pieces of armor?

If only I knew where Havel's ring is in this game.

Dammit, it's so hard not to look up things. But I shall persevere.

Haven't been able to play beyond a couple of hours yet, fuck my life.

 

[Rhaknar]

guys, some thoughts please?

atm I have 15 vigor, 15 endu, 20 vit, 30str, 15 adapt, 11 dex (this was to be able to use bastard sword)

should I start putting some points into Faith just to have at least SOMETHING to use the Y button with? like some cheap miracle, Heal or something?

All the crafting materials are pretty rare. It's just the that

puts you in the weird position of having a ton of titanite chunks, and almost no large shards.

 

[Yoshichan]

Do lizards spawn 15 times (or as many times as regular enemies) as well?

 

[Necromanti]

You wouldn't cast any spell or miracle with the Y button; it would be done the same way you attack with a weapon.

i use the great club, i don't know if it has the same moveset. it's great to start the attack, change the direction at the last fraction of second and smash the fucker. havel style.

Those were taken using the GeDoSaTo 0.2 hudless screenshot function.

I think that's the only way to get these bonfire shots without the text overlay.

 

[Tommyhawk]

I just spent one hour helping people to fight the two bosses in Heide's Tower and it was amazing, such a good feeling to help others.
And it's a very good way to farm souls.

Durante, your new DOF is nice, but it still eats at least 10FPS away on my 660TI, I go down from 60 to 50. I can get back to 60 with the lower quality SSAO though but these 60 are not rock stable, I get drops here and there. =(

But it looks nice.

You sir, are doing it right. Called it a pivot slash back in Dark Souls.

The problem with Greatsword in DSII is that it has DS Claymore's R1 instead of the (better) Zweihander R1. So it's tough to land a hit even pivoting because it's too linear. This can be solved by one-handing the Greatsword but it's a shame the two handed moveset sucks in DSII.

At least Zwei still has the "dice roll" horizontal slash that screws people trying to roll to your back or sides if you pivot correctly.

haven't a clue. I'm more of a "I wonder what happens if I do this?" type of person and barely know what I'm doing myself.

 

[mileS]

Kind of scary reading about all the people that are getting invaded low level, then the invader jumps off a cliff and they end up giving you 500,000-1mil souls. Pretty much screwing your Soul Memory for co-op. As someone who couldn't give 2 shits about PvP in this game (just not for me, nothing against people that enjoy it) The only type of online experience I'd like to have is doing some random co-op from time to time.

I think we all knew cheating would be a problem. But this is 1000x worse than just getting stomped once in a while by an extremely powerful invader. This is something that will stay with you

 

[z1ggy]

So, todays peak is around 74k players. Makes my heart warm knowing the game is a huge success.
