Let his quest play out and you may get your wish.

That should be just fine. It's not so much your soul level but soul memory so don't unnecessarily handicap yourself.
I believe someone said earlier that it is still the console version and not the TGS version.
Though if the TGS version pops up during glitches, the assets have to be in the files. Will just be a matter of time before a modder digs them out.

Seems that way at first, but if you practice and learn his moves he is a pushover.
protip: holy water urns nullify his flame buff.
well, I#m practicing him for like 4 hours. the hitbox of the one move is utterly broken.

Someone posted an ENB of the fight that looked damn close to the original.
No, interactive walls have priority.

I'm on the Mirror Knight battle and it is the same as the PS3 version.
I was also unable to get the Mirror Knight to bug when it walked over the broken columns, unless I was doing it wrong. It seemed to me that they had fixed that visual glitch.

Just killed my first invader down in the Grave of Saints.

Couple of options. Tank the hits with a Gyrm Greatshield or a flame infused kite shield (near 100% defense). Or get your agility stat up for rolling. Need to roll into the swings to dodge.
are you sure YOU weren't the invader?
Oh, I wasn't aware that such thing existed, thanks.
How exactly does Soul Memory works?

I've done three main areas of the game
and I'm now level 55 because I've been co-point a lot. Now I'm fucking paranoid I got too many souls and I won't have any luck summoning or being summoned later. Is it soul level or soul memory? The memory seems like bullshit. The game punishes you for helping others beat bosses? I would gladly take way less souls so I don't level so much.
Ugh I'm gonna have to respec too. Only my faith is above 15 (it's at 26 so miracles at hittin hard) though my hammer I started with still wrecks everything low health and stamina is an issue. Any good unique weapons I can seek out? I feel like this game is more generic weapon wise than the first.

While I'm aware that
you get his spear and more
it's worth waiting however long that'll take to complete, if the extra stuff is worth it, or to just off him right now for a spear I might want immediately.
Ah, decisions!

yeah I know all of this, can't even beat him with 2 summons. killed the last boos of iron keep first trx, bus smelter is just awful.
HMMM...Where did my weekend go?
Amazing... and I barely scratched the surface, taking my sweet time, exploring the word, etc. If there is one game I never rush or feel the need to proceed very often are these games. I can see myself putting much more hours without advancing much. Perhaps I should try to get some better equipment and help other souls needing assistance on the first couple of areas.

Every time you earn souls your counter goes up, regardless if they are spent or lost. It is on your character Stat screen on the top right. All multiplayer is based off a window range around that number.
The sun is behind my screen so I can't see a damn thing.

Hmmm, you could try range battle and just stay away. Let your summons keep him occupied.
3 down, 1 to go.
.Using a lot more summoning lately, Im just not in the mood to die over and over on bosses and running back and shit, especially because im doing huge runs without dying up to the bosses, getting a load of souls and then dont want to lose them. Maybe its because I never really got a "YEAH I DID IT!" feeling from DS1 bosses after dying a lot (or the first half of DS2 bosses when I wasnt summoning), it was more of a "ugh finally I can move on" feeling (it was still my favorite game of last gen lol)
Spider boss looked awesome
Well that's no fun, does explain why I suddendly stopped being summoned in
Heide's Tower of Flame
Thanks for the help though, now I know what to expect.
That got to be "DS/DeS the song": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6faz3QS9bA&list=PLHj0MFoBp1S009VUdGa_QE9QmRD80GHmy

Yeah it is a common complaint. It's intent was to eliminate twink builds, but it didn't even accomplish that. Hopefully it gets reworked in a patch.

Optional boss, come back later, you won't be able to make a dent in him now. Need a few items first.

Without downsampling at native 1080p I can rock the game even with boket on my 660TI, everything max with max SMAA. Sure, a tiny bit more jaggies than downsampled but boket and rockstable 60FPS makes it worth.

I love Pokken!
Gorgeous view ahead
I think the performance loss from downsampling comes from memory and not from pushing the GPU too hard. Or am I wrong?

God Damn, might want to spoiler tag the image though.
Any suggestions on how to tweak it?

Spent or lost? That seems like a bizarre solution and it seems easily exploitable as well.

I just beat
.
I was struggling big time yesterday but today I finally feel I am getting the hang of it, I was so used to my old build in DS1 that starting again really felt odd. Little by little though I am learning the slight changes this game brings.

going to make me tear my hair out?
the bosses in tower of flames I am pretty happy with myself

I think the best way From can achieve the intent of Soul Memory without all the bad side effects is to have a Soul Value of your character. Essentially, the sum of your Soul Level and all equipped gear (possibly carried inventory too since people can swap it out). That way you know people are evenly matched from a gameplay perspective.
