If I use a bonfire ascetic to respawn enemies, is it mandatory that I battle a boss again? And how much harder are they?

Ugh, hitting a wall with a certain later boss.
Some real bullshit going on with her moveset.
It's either you dying to enemies in a subset of the area, or killing them. Not quite sure how it all adds up, but I know I've killed enemies less than 12x in the forest of the giants (and died in the interim), yet had them stop spawning.

Pretty sure they have to be killed. You can bring them back, but at a cost.

No, but you get better rewards if you do. If you burn it in regular game it bumps it to NG+. if you use it in NG+ it bumps it to NG++ plus adds enemy placements like more dark / red spirits.
Steady Hand McDuff sells large shards.
Perfect, thanks. Will focus on that and saving up to get the Alva armour set for now. Should help nicely.

As with most weapons you have to check out the scaling on each weapon. I believe the Moonlight Greatswords does and it's from Duke Dear Freja's soul.
Doesn't he sell only one?
Infinite amount.
Vendors replenish their stock and add new items as you progress further through the game and spend more and more Souls on them. So it's a good idea to keep checking on vendors and to invest in them all, especially blacksmiths and ore traders.

Started a new game with the Knight, wasn't much of a fan of the sorcerer. Had my first death to
So I got annoyed and quit.
The Pursuer on the square platform area. Was extremely annoying, had a guy helping me but I ended up dying because of some curse thing (not fully sure) that basically took 75% of my health (at least it felt like that).

The mace makes the early game hilariously easy. Finally got my Hexer stuff, now time to casul up STR builders.

Quoting hoping for help.
I just released GeDoSaTo DS2 edition 0.3 - fixes the AO issues with fog gates, bonfires, other alpha blended effects, and general fog:

I'm trying a Dex build, any suggestion on the weapon(s) ?

Any insights on the performance hit of ENB? Similar to Skyrim? Or, does the apparent stellar optimization help soften the blow?
I'm up to huntsman copse now and so far it's been pretty straight forward. I'm liking the atmosphere of most of these levels but I don't feel the level design comes close to matching DS1 so far, although I'm still enjoying them.
The boss encounters feel extremely lazy for the most part.

Early game, buy a rapier. Awesome speed and reach plus decent damage. Perfect for corridors as well.

I love Pokken!
What about the Alt+Tab issues?

I was a little disappointed to get another great soul so quickly, it felt like a much shorter path than to the first one. The Rotten was a fun boss though, I got him down to 5% health and then died at least three or four times. Having to use the torch in the area before it was also kinda neat actually. I still can't buy Large Titanite Shards anywhere though, what the hell

That was a tough fight but it was a lot of fun.
I had something odd happen earlier. I put down a small summon sign and got summoned into another player's world.
He had summoned another player as well so 3 players in total. But when he walked through the mist it said that he had left the area and I was sent back to my world.
The next time it worked so I'm assuming it was a connection issue.

You don't actually have to join any of the covenants for the achieves. You just have to get to the prompt that asks if you want to abandon your current covenant and the achieve should pop. Some (Brotherhood of Blood) have a few additional prompts before getting to the actual Join prompt. You can just answer yes to these initial prompts without fear of leaving your current covenant.

I didn't notice any big framerate drops using it and my PC is far from ultra high end.
Awesome!

I'm in the same shard predicament as you.
That's insane!
DOF really suits the art style as it covers up some of the low quality textures.

You have to go down one of the next paths. Hint, travel from Majula towards Heides and see if something is different.
With 1 million sales, I can believe everyone dying 20 times.
Damn! You must have been a console veteran!
I'll check it out, thanks.

I think that happens if the boss is already dead. Not sure why he'd summon you though.
is PC version is connected to other version servers ?
i think this is only the death count for PC version
