70-75%, I'd say.
Nope.
Nope.
No such thing as over-leveling for multiplayer, if that's what you're worried about (because soul memory is the determinative factor). If you're just trying to keep things challenging, maybe spend them on upgrade stones or buffing items?
Ahhh,
Heide's Tower of Flame? That's the Dragonknight isn't it?

SL87.
I'm about 120 now, not sure if that would work with the weird SL requirements for coop. We can try the ring. Add me on Steam,

Yeah, when I finally cleared through to the fog gate, that exact thought crossed my mind and I wondered why I didn't do that. One of those things where rage and frustration cloud your judgement.
It wasn't a total wash at least -- those enemies dropped a decent amount of human effigies and twinkling titanite.
On it!
Go to Servant's Quarter bonfire in The Lost Bastille. Climb down the ladder. Use Pharros Lockstone on the wall.

I'd love to spend it on crafting materials but I don't have any merchants that sells them except the started black smith and I bought all his titanite shards.
The bosses I've finished so far are
The Last Giant, The Pursuer, Dragonrider, Ruin Sentinels, Belfry Gargoyles and the Lost Sinner. I've worked my way to the end of the No-man's Wharf but I was missing something, maybe a ring according to one of the signs to get the boss in that area, probably something obvious (I'm playing as blind as I can so I'm avoiding hints outside of messages in game), so I've moved on to another area for now and I reached a bonfire in the Shaded Ruin just after the foggy hazey area. What's a reasonable soul level range for me?
Use a pharros' lockstone in the room under the servants quarters bonfire.
Ahh. I don't have a
lockstone
Edit: WOW I just started exploring the
Shaded Woods
Metalic Sand
who is Emo-Beas?
How do blue eye orbs even work? I can never use it. Also i only ever get invaded if i'm in the rat area.
I used all the lockstones up in the rat area but it just makes everything harder for me lol.

If you can get to the room with Pate in it, continue past him, kill the guard on the left (be wary of pots, kite him into the hall), then turn right. You'll see her across the way. Take her down with range attacks, then jump the gap to a treasure chest. Jump back, and then break down the wooden railing. Fall off this ledge, open the chest behind you, and open the door back to Pate. Talk to him to continue his story.

Can anyone tell me how the online component works? I am in China, but have a german version, so it means I only see German people? I ask, because everytime I see some of the "help runes" on the ground, I click it and it shows "connection failed" or something like that.

Yay, just finished my no-death run of the game.
I got cursed twice during
but that didn't count as a death fortunately so I still got my reward after the credits.
Now that I'm free to die, I'll do the other bosses in the game, and get everything all over again before going to NG+. I'll attempt a no-bonfire run in NG+, shouldn't be too hard, I just have to be vigilant I don't rest by mistake
What do you mean? You don't need to be hollow at all to do anything with him.

In the menus you can toggle connections from outside your region.
I get a lot of connections failed as well, it's just due to the shear amount of people playing at once.
Lol. That was quite the experience in the area I was trying to get to earlier.
But I was victorious
And Finally I have the Bastille Key!
I was not expecting a boss!
"Oh SHIT gargoyles."
"Wow these things are way weaker than before"

"Holy shit there's more than two"
*Nearly dies*

I got impatient and decided to take two phantoms in. We decimated
The Rotten
Thanks, though!
I don't know if anyone has gotten the key to the top room of Drangelic Castle, but using that key felt really cool. Such a unique idea.
The moment with the
was awesome. When she says something to the effect of "
" then is just silent afterward was stoic as fuck. I got chills.
You should put some points into adaptability. It really helped me feel at home with the game. Getting it up to ~20 is pretty well recommended.
That's SSAO. I didn't check the actual shot but it's probably using the default in game implementation which isn't very good.
Yeah, that is prettttty gross. There have been a lot of em.
Yeah, that place ain't no joke. It seemed fine until I got to the second part, after the second bon fire. Shit gets serious real quick.
You'll be able to later. From above.
Genuinely, use more skill. The area is supposed to be tough and it's supposed to feel like passionate people are fighting to defend something you're trying to exploit. It ain't supposed to be easy.

Man I wish the ENB didn't give me crashes upon loading an area/going to someone's world/returning to my world. It looks so good and makes me sad to have to play it without those awesome effects.

What's with the big difficulty spike at
And is this game way less flexible than Dark Souls? I played the first game like an action game, but Dark Souls II basically wants you to play it slow and with a shield. In fact, this feels more like Demons' Souls 2, since so few elements of Dark Souls have even been incorporated into it.
Iron Keep? Had to skip the Smelter Demon, and the whole area ahead is a bunch of archers with lightsabers and turtle dudes. I've lost like 50k souls to this area, and the fact that souls aren't an unlimited resource in this game is making me anxious.

I just started this game and it's starting to get on my nerves. Feels like i get ambushed constantly, the only times I've been killed thus far happened because they put an enemy where I couldnt see it. Sort of feels like a one trick pony so far but I'll play some more tomorrow and try and get further.

I went through it earlier today. Very notorious difference between the 1st week and how it feels right now after the nerfing; it's a cakewalk. The original

I haven't used a shield yet. Rolling is still better.

Nice, beating that on the first try is impressive. According to stats, that is the 2nd leading killer in the game as far as bosses go.
Just had a weird moment in the Luna myself. I was getting invaded and dispatching them etc, then I saw a summon sign. Might as well get some help I figure. I summon them and they start attacking me and doing damage... What?!?! I know for certain it was not a Red sign and it clearly said Phantom. They were even in a white halo. I killed his ass for it, but I don't know how that happened?
Gets neater in NG+
I'm a bit overleveled, haha. I had to go back since I missed the area earlier.
That's all I had time to do today. Tomorrow I try for great soul number 3.
nope nope not me.
I never despised this game at all. I had a few gripes with it(like constant teleporting to levelup) but the overall experience is quite fascinating.
I am liking it even more on my second playthrough.

Thanks, but what I meant to ask is if the
Shrine of Armana
Drangelic Castle.
I've been playing duel wielding bastard swords, shield definitely isn't required. Gotta get them rolls.
Where do you get those stats from?
I beat em on the first try too.

Might be spoilerish, if you're sensitive to that kind of thing. It's just a list of names and associated data. It's a great website.
Also, lol at the Royal Swordsman stats. Fuckers.

It's from the PS3 and 360 version. Not enough folks through PC yet to get a clear picture.
Click on the "Bosses Victory and Defeat" tab.
Note: Spoilers on boss names abound.
