earlier and did not enjoy the practical necessity of co-op. The increased emphasis on simultaneous bosses is not fun. I dislike having to use the online as a crutch as the bosses don't seem to be designed for it outside of the multiple-at-one-time ones.

Indeed.
When I'm able to play this game around the end of the year, I won't play without ENB like this or better.
No, it's the GPU.
As much as I'm really enjoying DS2, my graphics driver crashes after about 60 minutes of play. If I restart it crashes again after just a few minutes. If I leave it for 20 minutes then come back I get another 60 minutes or so. Sounds like gpu failure to me, but I just ran a stress test for 4 hours and the GPU remained stable and never went above 70 degrees.
Anyone else get any issues like this? I'm aware of the startup issue but that doesn't seen to be related to this.

GAF I need help. I have been trying to kill the Executioner's Chariot for almost a day now. I ran out of human effigies long ago and I need to know where I can get more, because getting summoned and passing the area takes too long.
EDIT: Two more things
Also, where can I get a powerful, fast sword?
Why do my weapons degrade so fast?

I don't think either of those bosses are as hard as they initially seem and for me they've been more memorable than the 1vs1 bosses (which have not been particularly interesting for the most part, so far anyway).
For the Gargoyles you can keep their count at 2-3 by making sure you only damage them one at a time, as the other ones spawn based on the global healthbar.

Is it true you can max out every single stat attribute?
I would love to try and attempt that, but I imagine it would be insane.

I think they just keep spawning until you their health bar is empty, up to a maximum of three at a time. I hate those kinds of boss battles really. Speaking of which, I just summoned for the first time against the
Duke's Spider Freja
realizing that the small spiders kept respawning plus the annoying run to reach the boss room
is she one of the great ones, whatever they might be? I'd guess so since a primal bonfire (whatever that is) is located just after her, but her soul doesn't have a special icon like the Lost Sinner's in the inventory.
Also, why are people complaining about the
Royal Rat Authority (looked more like a dog to me though)
Good to know but I still think that fighting
3 at a time

If you need become human, drop your sign to summon from Small Soapstone and it returns you as human if you are successful.

I know this, but as I said, this is taking far too long because I have to do it every single time I die now.

Skip him and come back later? Or don't. Totally optional boss.

@Zafir - I believe (never done it myself) you can get back on the ship through NMW by
ringing the bell again

There's only one problem with the ENB, and it's that in a lot of places it leaves a ghosting effect on the screen of objects. It's like what would happen if you left a Plasma TV on a logo too long.

I get to the horse itself and then the spell thing it has kills me almost instantly.
I don't really have a focus. I am a Cleric. I could screenshot my stats if you guys have any ideas.

This is correct, did it myself. Just ring the bell again.
Ah, blergh. Not sure it's worth me running back through for it since I'm melee anyway. Maybe if I can be bothered.

Yeah this is putting me off summoning people. I'm basically watching a cut scene in my own game. I'd come back later but I really don't know anywhere else to go... worst of all I have to waste souls for the privilege of doing this.

In that case you can just skip it and come back later, he's totally optional.
As for a powerful, decently fast sword that's served me well in the early game, after upgrading it, I suggest the Bastard Sword. You can get it after
one of those doors that you can unlock with the Soldier Key in the Forest of Fallen Giants, after climbing down the ladder from the bonfire
Of course it depends on your stat, I'm focusing of strength personally, but the Bastard Sword scales with both str and dex.

I will just skip it for now then. I'll see if I picked that sword up as well.
Oh and another question (Sinner's Rise spoilers)
What was the purpose of the eternal flame?
My estus flasks are only at +2 potency and the only area I have access to at the moment is huntsman's. I've explored the previous zones a few times already so it's possible I may have missed dust in them. What were you guys at after clearing Bastille and all other areas leading up to it?

Has anyone been able to mod out the Cloranthy ring effect around the character yet? I didn't like it in Dark Souls either, and it's even more pronounced this time around.
My gawd, Smelter demon is kicking my ass even with help. Then I decided to get to get the Great Gyrm shield for the 100%fire resitance, then on my way I kill ManScorpian Tark by accident
Why are all these enemies hitting like trucks. I don't recall it was ever like that in Dark Souls 1.

I get a ton of stutter when I use texture override, the game just freezes for like 3 seconds when loading new areas. It's annoying, I want to use that and the PS3 icons.
So is it just me, or does putting a message in front of an illusory wall now make it impossible to open? I mean, since you press A to open them instead of hitting them now
Well... Dammit.

Ah, thanks. I'll give it a try and see how it works for me.

Small orange burr, lightning weapon, stay mobile!
Dumb question. I'm still early on and i'm seeing lots of summon signs. What happens if I summon someone to my game and they decide to attack an npc? Also wondering, I summoned one guy to my game, we went to kill the Heide Knight and it said his task was complete or something, and he left the game. How does that work exactly? did he basically just use an item to leave game when he wanted to?
Thanks in advance

From fixed that issue. They can't attack NPC'S since a summon only sees them as ghostly outlines now.
There are 2 summon types. The small and large stone. Small is short duration so that's probably why he left. Large soapstone sticks around until a boss. They may have used an item to leave called black separation crystal that you get from the start.

A to open walls works even with messages.
Not true: check out my and tell me I wasnt moving quicker with 17 ADP rather than the 12 I started with. (yes I realize that vitality affects this as well but it affects the length of rolls not as much the speed.)
Whatever I did with my equip load and AGL stats, the maneuverability, i-frames etc. and estus chug ALL contributed to my first real victory in the game and I refuse to be a slug in any subsequent playthroughs!

That is true most of the time. There are a few breakable walls/doors too. Don't know why they were inconsistent on this because it is confusing.
Not sure about that.
But on the topic of the Cloranthy ring, I'm still sad that it's been nerfed into the ground. It was probably my favorite Dark Souls 1 ring, and now even the Cloranthy Ring+2 is a mere shadow of its former self.
Excellent. That explains it. Thank you!
While I'm here. How common are the items that let you reset your skill points? I don't plan on using a lot but I'm trying to plan out my build and at a certain level I'd like to fine tune it better and reset everything.

There are around seven you can find in one playthrough.
Indeed, what an odd decision.
