Yeah, I just wanted to humanize myself and that was the toughest boss to come out victorious.

well you're not as crazy as i am
ah ok, thank you
i generally don't have issues with that so i'll probably make it on my own until i get the spider cave message and then do deep breaths and all that crap lol
OK then, more specific because they are introduced in an ambush. When you get to Brightstone Cove, there is an army camp, as you descend down it starts to turn to caves. It hits you there.

I don't even think he is that hard he just leaves no room for error.

Time to start a new character.
I know the place. Thanks!

How does that exactly work anyway? The character lvl matching I mean?
Think I may have to do that.
Either way, finally found someone who stayed alive and we beat it, and I then beat it myself straight after. Happy days!
Works off of soul memory so how many souls you've ever had. So you can meet higher or lower level people. As long as they are in range of your memory.

i know. it seems smelter doesn't pay much attention to the redeye ring so if i don't keep hitting him he turn to other players and smash them without mercy. sometimes being a tanker is a hard job.

So having finished the game I'd like to ask others:
1) Most loved area in the game?
2) Most hated area in the game?

I've done the same thing here that I did in the first Dark Souls: pretty much entirely ignore covenant stuff 
What's a fun one to do? Or should I just wait for NG+ and do something then? I feel like at SL100+ it's probably too late to start anything.

2) shrine of Amana

BellBros is Ganker Paradise, rat covenant can be fun, it's 1 vs 1 + mobs. never tried blue sentinels

Totally agree on #2
Most loved:
Drangleic castle, Dragon Aerie, Heide's Tower of Flame, Iron Keep
The Gutter, Black Gulch, Harvest Valley, Shrine of Amana
I could have picked one, but I love/hate a lot of areas equally.

Getting really tired of these cheesy PVP builds. Hope FROM does something to address the whole issue with soul memory and PVP at end game, it is getting annoying fighting nonstop Havel mages, and I don't feel like having to build a cheesy character to PVP at higher levers because people think it's fun to spam magic.
It seems to love hitting the NPC summon more than anything else..luckily she seems like she can actually survive that now.
I had joined Blue Sentinels, but I think I did some things in the "wrong order" or something, because I was never pulled in to defend anyone and I was never able to jump into a world of a "guilty" person.

Blood Bros and Blue Man Group have special PvP arenas for members. I'm thinking of trying those.
You aren't alone. I was in blue sentinels on the ps3 version for days and days and never got summoned into anyone's game to help them

Would be cool if there was something to gap the pvp difference with magic and melee.
If someone puts a soapstone message directly on top of a wall that has an illusory wall, does it block you from opening the wall with the A button? This has been bothering me because there are all these messages and obviously some are trolling but i'm wondering if it's blocking me sometimes also.
Seems like a huge oversight on From's part if it does.

a special pvp arena with no reward and no item needed will be GREAT. sadly, you need items to do pvp.
if there's a illusory wall it will open even if there's a message. if it doesn't open it's fake.

Always DLC? haha
lol my "i did it!" message when i beat fucking spider boss will be the jolliest i'll ever put down
think i might start clearing the spiders a few at a time then going back to the bonfire and again and again so that they don't respawn, tho i'll prolly won't feel too safe anyways.
i heard that spider cave is home to some really important npcs too
why do you do this to me from T_T
probably should still see it but usually they're ok
like the ones i'm 100% bad with are spiders and roaches. everything else is usually fine, and even most spiders are usually case by case and i can endure
it's just that dark souls is a stressful game by itself and from what i've seen these spiders seem to be placed in the most cruel way possible T_T
thanks, that's very useful
Soul memory screwed over the aid mechanism so you're unlikely to ever get that to work. Not to mention the apostles are left early.
Guilty is less broken you just need to be within range.

I've had blue sentinels work twice but its not worth keeping the ring on hoping to maybe be summoned once a day.

I have a ton of sin from murdering NPCs at the end of NG, and I still haven't had to face the po-po.

you're in ng+ now?
(Sinner's Rise Spoilers)
Now I'm off to to whatever is past the petrified statue that was blocking a switch outside Majula.
Just finished sinners rise. The lost sinner was easy as fuck. I was surprised he dropped a great soul. Was he much more difficult on consoles pre-patch? He's a pretty cool looking boss though, reminded me of the blind king boss in 4-2 in Demon's Souls.

On an unrelated note, the ruin sentinels were also pretty underwhelming. Got them on my second try.

Damn, there are a LOT, I think even from areas that I haven't even been there yet lol
Prepare for cursing!

to me the sinner was a weaker version of artorias. even if you're alone she gives you too much opening. artorias was faster and ruthless.
even if you use the bonfire to travel away and then return there?
yup, i just passed through when i beat him and when i heard about her i came back, still nothing
