I just started the game on PC, after over 110 hours on PS3. And..

This might be a stupid question, but I have never seen this icon before. What does it mean? Appeared right after character creation.
 
I soloed
Freja, the Sentinels, the Lost Sinner, Rat Authority
, etc., but the
fucking Smelter Demon and his fire AOE nonsense
was just too much for me. I had to summon in some guys. My spotless solo record has just been ruined and it feels bad.

Woohoo! I think SLI is working flawlessly now!

SLI bits 0x02400405 (Payday: The Heist, Grand Ages: Rome, Aion, Grand Ages: Rome(Demo), Warframe)

Then you need to change undefined profile 0x0095DEF9 (111 Profiles) to 0x00000002 (Half-Life 2: Episode One, Alien Swarm... etc)

I am getting no slowdowns like before when looking down at the well in Majula or looking at the poison room in Earthen Peak. Also the flickering on the Majula mountain is gone. I think I'll stick with this for now.

Just figured it out. Works very well. I am getting the occasional weird tip but for the most part this works while getting rid of the bad flicker of other SLI profiles.

Those ENB screens are some good screenshot porn. Bit heavy on the effects, and from my own experience I can already see that it's not super great in motion, but it sure makes for top tier screenshots. :D


On an unrelated note, someone just told me that I apparently killed not one, but two NPCs so far without noticing. One even was a merchant!

The one time I forget to check for mimic! It turns out to be a mimic!

Remember to be always vigilant people!



We have no idea.

For those who don't want to risk breaking good treasure.

Mimics have a white border at the opening (it's actually their teeth). So you don't have to hit it to check anymore.

Ok guys I'm stuck not knowing where to go next...if someone could give me some tip it would be great, specially if it's just a tip :p

I've defeated (names may not be correct): Last Giant, Dragonrider, Old Orenstein ( or whatever the name is ), The Persuer, 3 Sentinels, Flexible Sentinel (the one on the boat ), Last Sinner ( giant soul ).

I really don't know where to go next...the only place I see right now is the big door in the Giant's Forest, which needs some ring to open. There's the statue holding the lever at the start in Majula, but I don't have the item to revive it since I used it on the guy that trades Boss Souls. There is also a door besides that same guy that I cannot open.

I've gone through the levels again and I just can't seem to figure this out :( . After the Last Sinner I went to the bonfire in the prison cells, which then leads to the underground cavern where the boat arrives ( dead end if you go through this way ). After the Dragonrider I end up on the other side of these underground caverns, which lead me back to the cells in the night castle.
I'm basically on a loop =\

Any help would really be appereciated! Thanks!

You can toggle between running and walking with ... Z or C or something.

you should check out the tunnel that goes to Heide's Tower of Flame again...(do not warp to Heide's bonfire, go from Majula)

After the Dragonrider,
talk to the lady until she decides to move to Majula and then look for her there.

So I have three more Pharos Lockstones, any hints on cool places to unlock?

I found the Bell Tower Covenant

This one seems useless.
Unless it drained all the poison from the boss fight

Assuming you
burnt the windmill
then yes it does drain the poison.

Can you not open the
shrine of winter
if you used the souls? Where do I go next if it said great soul embraced?

You need more than one, or
1,000,000 total soul memory
 
just for anyone eyeballing the Soul Spear Barrage spell. don't bother. it might come in handy on a boss fight or two, but it's pretty useless otherwise.
 
Anyone having problems with the run button on gamepad not always registering?
Or is there some different mechanic to running than in DS1

Also, just beat
The Pursuer
using the
ballista
.

Fucking lol.

Because you are getting familiar every game, actually nothing changes that much, imo ds2 has better boss fights than other souls games.

The nest soul game youll play will be easier than this if they dont change anything combat wise.

To an extent, yeah. Though I've gone back and played DS1 and Demons recently. As I mentioned, I think the increase in bonfires/warping from start makes DS2 much easier.

I'm loving it thus far.

Just beat the boss in Undead Purgatory, and that was awesome!

Though, prior to that point, a lot of the bosses felt like cheap imitations
of the first Dark Souls. The Old Dragonslayer fight really fucked with my perception of how wild Ornstein and Smough really were in the first game- that to me was the best boss fight of the last game, and I had so much trouble until I beat it that I almost gave up. The Belfry Gargoyles also felt much easier than the original fight. And some of these other fights involving three of the same enemy type seem a bit uninspired.

I mean, I've only seen a little bit of the game (20ish hours in), and some of these areas feel really unique. But the boss battles have been a bit lackluster.

If you fully drain your stamina, you have to wait until it refills completely to run again. (or do another action in between, like rolling, or something)

hmmm wasn't able to do that one.

I've noticed that if you drain it completely, then it won't register until your stamina gauges charges back up.

It registers every time if you don't let your stamina drain all the way down.

Seriously guys, where can I find some Large Shards at? I haven't unlocked Mcduff.
You have to go down one of the next paths. Hint, travel from Majula towards Heides and see if something is different.

Are you referring to
Huntsman's Copse
?

If that is the case, I must have missed the ember.
 
Does anyone know if there is a fix for no sound through HDMI bug? I can't bring myself to play the game if I can't experience half of the atmosphere.

Just missing Vendrick for the achievement and then the last boss I think

That fucking giant. People told me it was easy. He one shots me and I'm soul level 160

Beat the game several times, this one really doesn't seem to do or unlock anything. If it's water it might be useable to water yourself down so the poison doesn't affect you as much. However, if that's the case it's better to just burn the windmill.
 
Question since I honestly don't know if people just have insane Steam usernames:

When summoning or whatnot, is the name used the name you gave your character or your Steam username? I've never seen my own so can't tell.

The ember isn't in there, but that place leads to the location where the ember is.

I'll have to go search the area again, I've beaten both bosses in that zone.

I'm assuming I've just missed an exit after the
Skeleton Kings
. I've found
Undead Purgatory
, but I did not find any way through there.
 
Pretty cool that the
Pursuer
will spawn in the room where you fight
the Smelter Demon
if you go back. When I first fought the
Pursuer
I used the
ballista trick
so it was good to have a proper fight with him.

Did you go back after
Skeleton Lords
? It leads to the next area.
 
Are there plenty of places to buy those "human effigy" things? I want to have a lot of those to restore my health after dying a good number of times.

That death penalty health decay is such a load of BS.
