Unless it's different on PC..I could drop all at once and get 30 items on PS3. It just showed 1 item pickup glowy thing.
I have five, I had four before exploring that zone.
When I first started this is where I went. Turns out it's a much better idea to go to the Forest first. The road to the Forest is near the Majula bonfire.
You're not meant to, but I did manage to get there with only 1 as well.
Hah, I actually managed to figure it out.
I loved this area so far. My favorite at the moment.
NPCs are odd on face quality. The worst has to be the guy with the Armor Shop.
Weird, I dropped two and they said not like that(didn't lose the stones.)

jesus lost 40 k + souls at the earthen peak and all due to my own error FUCK.
Anyway, upon my second playthrough here on PC.I think I really love this game.
I appreciate it a lot more due to the massive visual boost and noticed stuff I missed on my first playthrough.
Simply a great game.

Fight them on the stairs. As soon as you walk in the room, the 2H comes at you, the other 2 fall back. Run all the way back to the set of stairs you came up by the first lever. Kill the 2H guy. Wait at the stairs, and the other 2 come to you. You can bait them to attack above you, back-step and they will miss (except on downward slash, so be ready to roll). I found it to be way easier. This is probably the hardest fight in the area, excluding bosses.

Super Bunnyhop (the guy famous for the Critical Close-up series on games like Metal Gear Solid and the first Dark Souls) put up a video about VAC bans disabling connectivity in DSII, even though the game supposedly doesn't use VAC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6fo34JOAk
Has anyone here been having problems with this? This is something people should definitely take to Namco Bandai on social media, it's a serious issue. Whether it's a technical error or something else, people shouldn't be banned from playing the game online because of something they did in a completely different game - that's explicitly against Valve's stated policy. Not to mention there's absolutely no warning about it in the game's product information. We need answers.

So, I read that Clerics would benefit more from Attunement rather than Adaptability? If this is true, should I even bother with ADP at all?
sorry, I have zero sympathy for cheaters
you cheat in one game, you'll cheat in this one
I wish they banned cheaters from literally all Steam-related multiplayer, to be honest

Yes. It effects Estus use speed and your shield up speed and natural poise.

it's easier if you've played Dark Souls.

Get ATT up to 40 and then add whatever ADP you need to hit ~100 agility. I would advise waiting to put any into ADP until the rest of your stats are finished, if you have some kind of SL cap like 150 or whatever for PvP. Gear requirements > spell requirements > ATT = FA > VIT > VIG > ADP.
There are a few ways to make this fight much easier
(especially the second time).
You can actually parry his thrusting charge (cursed/blue sword attack), and you have a long time to do it. When you fight him at his second location, you can parry in front of a ballista and then shoot him for half life or more. You can also just hug to his shield side and circle strafe counter-clockwise to avoid most of his attacks. Using a shield while doing that trivializes the fight as long as you don't get greedy with your stamina spending.

Watch the video, he didn't cheat, just used a lighting mod on a half life game exactly the same kind folks are using in Dark Souls now. Got banned in HL for it 6 years ago and never cheated.

One thing that I found helps for all bosses is to get summoned to help someone else before you attempt it yourself. I've found that learning a boss with two other people helps a lot, and if you fail there's no penalty; you just respawn where you were before. But if you succeed, you regain all your humanity, and if you put your summoning sign outside the boss door, you're ready to summon two others to make your attempt. There's no need to use up your effigies if you're willing to invest the time to help someone else with their attempt.

God I'm an idiot. I finally beat the
. I can't believe it took my this many tries to see the obvious giant opening for attack. I was making him much harder than he had to be.
I've beaten Dark Souls several times but I was really struggling with that boss. Once I realized he had a very predicable, easily dodged move, it was not nearly as difficult as I was making it.

The second one looks like a cover for Dragon Age haha
Yeah, people call it "Disco Wharf". Never happened to me, but I saw it happening to someone on twitch yesterday.Got a huge graphical glitch in this area:

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Yep, it has stopped speedruns dead in their tracks.
Don't lose heart, I'm still in the forest. Partially because of Battlefield 4's 2XP (trying to reach the level cap) and partially because I've been struggling to get through
the castle area
It's so obscure.

Bleh, been farming the Shadow set for hours in NG with a Bonfire Ascetic and still haven't gotten the Shadow Top. Got two of the entire rest of the armor set, a Shadow Dagger and two Malformed Claws. 
If anyone's in NG (I'm SL 77, SM around 680,000) and has this thing, let me know if you need the rest of the set. I'll literally trade someone all three of the other armor pieces plus the dagger and claw to get the top.

I ended up just putting my sign where the poison pool in front of the boss door was so those people couldn't see it.
Seems like it's going to be a lot faster to level up as a SunBro than on PS3 - got summoned within a minute for the Lost Bastille boss 15 or so times.
Bell Covenant should go quickly too..I had the ring on for 5 minutes before getting annoyed and taking it off since it was working a little too well.

Camera does seem a little too close (unless you think it's too far, in which case I don't agree)
It's fun beating thewith the arrow cannon trickpursuer
Killed the other phantom in a 3-person fight like this.
I felt bad, but it was pretty funny.
By the way, how are you supposed to figure out that's even possible? I never did when I played on PS3, so I ended up beating

The parry windows seem to be smaller in DS2 which is frustrating since it was already challenging to pull off consistently.
