That sucks, worth a shot to try and get a pardon, but you may be out of luck this playthrough. Did you drop down the
ambush hole or the other one.

Finally beat the
Pursuer by cheesing it and using one of the ballistas, then I went to this nest and an bird took me to this other area, which is hard as hell. Made it to what I assume is the Boss, three tall knights that have been kicking my ass non-stop for the past 1.5 hours. I'm beginning to feel this boss is O&S + 1.
Really? I honestly really really like it. Having to manage durability (using rings, making repair powder more useful...) adds a very fun spin to it, and totally justifies repairing being automatic at bonfires. It also incentives variety to the same character (along with the 3 weapons slots and items that are a lot more useful).
I only bought Homeward Bones in the first game, but now I'm always buying knives and shit becauase they're really good. Always have my bow equipped too.
This was one of the things I thought they really got completely right.
I totally agree. It adds depth, strategy and tension. In the first game it was way too easy to use one weapon as a crutch. Now you have to think about a back up or use other items. And there is a great tension when you are deep in an area and your weapon is at risk and you have to make tough decisions about what to do.
IT also forces you to play smarter. You get penalized heavily in durability if you smack walls all the time or abuse your good weapons on rock or tough enemies while they are blocking. You can't just wail on guys all the time anymore. You have to play smarter.
Until you meet the numerous other bosses that have more than 2 coming at you at a time.

Come back later, there is another area adjacent to Majula that is worth going through before the Bastille.
Man, I'm just now entering huntsman's copse after defeating sinner's rise and im 74 with like over half a million in soul memory.
I get tons of bellbro invasions while there, but fuck no one has invaded me once in 14 hours of play
this sucks. way of blue sucks, sents suck even worse.

Defeated the Pursuer by using the Ballista and two helpers. Kinda cheap, but a win is a win. Same with the Dragon Rider, I shot him from the bridge until he put his shield up, and then it only took one hit in the actual fight to kill him.
Just made my way through Dead Man's Wharf pretty easily and moved the pirate ship, went back and leveled up and quit, I'll explore the ship later. But I really like the aesthetic of the Wharf, like how so many enemies look like Vikings on leave and they're passed out in the bar. Really enjoyable area.

What area is that? I went through Bastille and am now at Sinners' Rise and the boss there is fucking ridiculous. Can't even attempt it without dying instantly due to the speed at which he swings.

I also enountered them as a mage and while before I could do almost all bosses by rolling/evading them and then use magic, there is not enough place to evade them.
And I still have the first staff.
Any tips for these as a mage?

Man, didn't get a chance at all today to play this
Maybe I can squeeze in an hour before bed..
I woke up at 6 AM to play today, I may do the same tomorrow.
Wish I had the fortitude to do that, haha!
Hopefully I can have an early exit from work tomorrow and put some time in.

From Majula, there should be another hallway behind the Cat's house. It goes into the sewers and ends up in a new area.
Couldn't you just use x360ce or something?
I honestly have the worst luck with drops. I've stacked gear and used a coin to no avail. Then when I'm wearing zero +find gear, I get mad drops.
On PS3, it took my friends giving me a Black Witch's Staff, Grym Greatshield and a turtlebro chest piece because I farmed all the mobs in NG and NG+ in my game.

I love Pokken!
If you get through the boss fog wall the invader is sent to its world. But you can still be invaded in an area with the boss dead.

I wasn't so hot on the game initially, but things really did pick up after the first few hours. The game is definitely a solid entry in the series.

What do you mean by "soul memory" if you don't mind me asking? Might as well add that my DualShock controller died on me yesterday. Kept unregistering with my PC. Got a Sixaxis and plugged that in and it works perfectly. No dropouts what-so-ever.
the amount of souls you've acquired over the game: unspent, spent, and lost. It basically matches you up based on how close you are in soul memory to others.
Guys, I've been having a really tough time here....
I'm been in the Forest of Giants for like 4 hours now making barely any progress and the game is kicking my ass.
Then I realized...I haven't been able to level up or anything?
Is there supposed to be a Woman next to the fire in Mejula? Because she is nowhere to be found in my game.
Anybody know what's up? PLEASE HELP

So, I just got to
. I have a feeling I'm close to the end; can anyone tell me if I am or not without spoilers? =D
The Shrine of Amana//
she should be near the bonfire in majula. look around a bit and try to exhaust her dialogue options. You won't be able to level up until you do so.

Lol, she's not by the fire initially but closer to the edge of the cliff.
Even with NPC invaders? cool
The city is lifeless besides the blacksmith and the dude sitting up near the giant statue on the hill.
EDIT: Holy shit I found her. THATS WHY THIS GAME HAS BEEN SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS.
Of course now I have no souls to level up with, lol. I feel like a fucking dumbass
I fell into one of those ragefest downward spirals there. It's one of those things where you get killed repeatedly due to impatience until the entire beginning of the zone is dead and non-respawning anymore, and yet you haven't made any progress.
I should have pulled out my bow right off the bat. Lesson learned.
hey_it's_that_dog
benevolent sexism
I believe that the first time you run into her she's actually closer to the cliffside, but you should be able to see her from the bonfire area, at least.
edit: Oh you already figured it out.
be wary of pointless
I got through it pretty quickly just by equipping
magic resistant armor

Is the
after
Shrine of Winter
Drangelic Castle?
I know i missed a few things in the Bastille, so I'm trying to find all that stuff. Hopefully it doesn't take too long, haha.
You have to

You have to
fall to it from above

I've been sailing along today. Now I have a ton of souls but I don't know if it's a good idea to keep leveling. I don't want to over level myself but I'm running around with 60K souls and nothing else to really spend them on. I'm playing a pure melee character so I have no need for miracles and spells.
I dunno. I never could get it to work properly.
