It's weird how the boss is so much easier than the 1-2 bosses that came before.Off.
You can turn on lights?

Even lights off, that was the number one easiest boss fight in the entire game for me, nothing even close. Just tank and spank.
This was another tank and spank for me; either block or evade his attack combo, then get a few hits in. Rinse and repeat. The support column in the middle can be useful to LoS him while you use Estus.
She was nerfed, it was harder pre-patch. And you didn't finish the game yet, right? Even nerfed she's still way harder than some bosses you encounter during the game.
Easiest bosses for me are Flexile Sentry and Gargoyles. First try, everytime.
What determines turning you back into a human when playing co-op? Is it amount of enemy kills? Amount of time spent in co-op?
Does co-op always time out after a certain point? Like after playing for 10 mins it says "your duty is done" or something? If I use the stone to leave co-op, will I always not get the turn human bonus?

Fulfill your duty a few times.
No, I just reached Undead Crypt, so I have a little bit more to go I guess. I think I've killed everything up to this point other than the Undead Purgatory boss, which I haven't tried yet. Out of the ones I've killed so far, the Bastille boss(es) were the toughest to solo. Very time consuming and I broke some of my gear due to how long it took. A couple of other bosses (Gargoyles, Brightstone Cove, and Amana Shrine) were very annoying and rage-inducing to get to, but the bosses themselves weren't too bad.
edit: wait what, it's a SHE? I didn't even realize that due to the full body armor.
Well, you've already killed the bosses that I would consider way easier than LS (like
Covetous Demon
Prowling Magus
I need to beat her again post-patch to see how much the battle has been nerfed. Only fought her in NG+ on the PS3.
What made the boss annoying is that I lose stamina after she hits me with just 2 swings and I still take damage with my shield.
Usually small soapstones is clearing some enemies. Large soapstone is beating the boss. I'm sure it's not just that but that's what I've experienced.
This fucking game sometimes.
So I'm finally at the end of
after getting shot up by the fucking
and going through
, I activate the big light and hear the
. I panic thinking this was a giant ruse and am prepared to get swarmed, only to figure out
. Great I think, I can just hit them then
WRONG. I aggro two, one
then runs back, the other just fucking charges me flaying his arms all over the place and kills me quickly cause I started bleeding which caused a stagger. I run up the stairs and turn to drop off the stairs to do a drop attack but since dark souls 2 fucked up that mechanic, I just dropped on top of him lost all my stamina did no damage and died. 20k soul bloodstain, I go on my mission to retrieve it only to find out that getting hit by fire arrows makes me explode and I died.
So I'm finally at the end of
no mans wharf
booby trapped chest

mutants yell
they hate light and run into shade
walk into the light!

I guess the gimmick is the arena being dark or something?
That doesn't really matter much if you stay close to it.

My god Belfry whatever (pvp) tower is the most times I've died consecutively in a game since Capra Demon. So much horseshit going on.
Plus I think you can only summon 1 friendly as opposed to the usual 2. Everytime I summoned a person the other signs vanished and didn't come back. That tiny little area took me hours. Brutal.
Always present human invaders, often more than one. The little dwarf things can do big damage even through a great shield and have ranged attacks. The lock on for the dwarfs was totally whack, constantly swinging at nothing. Topped off with a multi boss gang rape lol

Ahhh, that's probably it. I heard that she's very tough on NG+ because she has "friends". She's solo and by herself on NG.
Belfry was very annoying for me as well. Do people really find it sporting to "PVP" against people who are being attacked by mobs and are just trying to get to the area boss? Maybe they don't care.
The pirates are throwing a liquid on you that does no damage. It's gasoline
But there's only like 3 archers and it seems like every other dick head throws balls of piss at me rather then fight me. Then I talked to the
old man at the end of the pier and he told me to bugger off cause I don't use magic. I went through hundreds of monkey mutants and dual wielding zombies to get told that?? Fuck this place I'm going back to the other end of Hiedes tower and fight the boss there. Waste of time.
Is there a way to see who you played with? Played with a certain Reikt (or Rekt) and helped me out a lot in the beginning area, but then i got myself killed like an idiot at the (admittedly quite easy)
boss, 'cause i got distracted and healed at the wrong moment.

Your Int needs to be at 8 I believe. In all honesty, unless you're going for 100%,
No-Man's Wharf
Its flammable stuff. Let em throw the liquid and get near flames asap.
Yep, and I regret it now, lol. All my shields suck.
Is that the big club or the biggerer (biggest?) club? I'm trying to find a nice weapon that has good reach and does AOE in front of me. I've been using the [ultra] Greatsword so far, but the swings don't always land where I want them to.
That's the Large Club, Great Club is similar but heavier and stronger.
I've got a few questions:
Wharf:
Forest of Giants:
Wharf:
I sailed the ship and ended up at the prison area that I had already gotten to previously. Is there anything that opens up by sailing the ship to this area?
Forest of Giants:
I opened the bonfire at Soldier's Rest, and it seems like it's just a dead end with no where further to progress? Am I missing something here?

Every time you kill a person with the bell keeper covenant you get a titanite chunk, really easy to farm.
So I guess it's not a covenant for sporting duels. (I saw some signs on the ground at the beginning of Iron Keep, so I assume that's for actual PVP dueling)
All that work just to be told I'm dumb, an entire area for that old man >:/. Oh well, back the other way I go then.

Wharf:
If you've already progressed to Sinner's Rise, then no. Chances are you've already opened the gate that was separating the front end to the back end near McDuff's Workshop bonfire. No-Man's Wharf is optional.
Forest of Giants:
You'll come back to that at a later point.
Wait, have you not faced the boss there?

No, the entire area was to get to the ghost ship and the boss there, to unlock progression to Bastille. You can talk to the old geezer if you want (and it's required for an achievement), but that's a side task.

Can't you go back to the first bonfire just to be safe? Took me twice to go through before it actually blew up the wall
Where is the first one? Did I run right past it? I haven't seen one yet.
Edit: I'm a tard
are you people implying I can swim to the ship thats way out there and fight a pirate captain on there?

There should have been one around where you entered the area from.

GeDoSaTo and ENB only modify the configuration though, right? None of the data is actually altered...
Hopefully GeDoSaTo and VAC can live happily together, but if I have to lose GeDoSaTo to keep assholes from hacking the hell out of the game, I am more than willing to make that compromise tbh.
Did you not trigger the event that causes him to sail the ship up to the dock? (You'll see a cut scene that plays that shows it happening.)

Someone with more experience than me can correct me if I am wrong but I don't think it disappears.
Go back and get it.
Only special thing I did was light a giant lamp.
