you died too much
Probably my least favourite part of NG+
I took one step too far and EVERY ONE OF THEM JUMPED DOWN. Somehow I made it out alive but it was ridiculously close.
The phantom right before the gate is the hardest fucker in the whole level. God fuck that dude on NG+
You killed them so many times they hit their respawn cap.
Not even, the hardest Dark Spirit for me on NG+ was the fucker right before

So, continuing my very slow progress, onto the bridge to Heide's Tower place....I'll spoiler it even though it seems I'm the only person in this thread not blowing through this game:
Am I just really horrible at this or are they supposed to be this hard? I'm a swordsman and I'm trying to just roll, I'm under 30%, I haven't found anything better than the scimitar+1 he starts with. I didn't upgrade it cause I keep hoping to find something else. I I used quite a few levels on ADP, hoping it would help. I never found a flame long sword I heard others mention, I dunno if it would even work better for me here.
what the heck am I supposed to do here. Alright I can take out that sword and shield giant type pretty easily by sticking to his back, but for some reason I just can't get a good grip on how to fight the guys with just clubs. Sometimes their attacks pivot with me like glue, and sometimes not.(I cannot stand this about this game) So I instead just booked it all around the area and picked everything up, found nothing besides some weird spots on the ground I couldn't use.

Fuck them both.
I finally got past the stupid Undead Purgatory and then realised I hadn't done No Man's Wharf. I tried out something I read on Reddit a while back and was surprised to see that it worked.
Instead of trekking up to the bell to ring it you can simply shoot it with an arrow to make the ship get in place.
Forest of the fallen giants for the fire long sword but for the old knights strike damage is best so get a mace or equivalent.
Oh wow, that's pretty cool. Love little touches in games like that.
I really don't understand this game sometimes. I had zero problem with weapon durability after finding
, but now for no fucking reason the same sword I've been using for 20 hours breaks after fighting 10 dudes. Surely I did something wrong but fuck if I know what it is.
that ring in the Lost Bastille

Dude is a chump if you just
evade his first swing and climb the ladder. He'll climb after you, you go up near the top and just hit L1 to kick him until he falls. He takes a ton of damage and then climbs back up to get kicked again. Second fall should kill him, if not a couple of hits afterward.
made a sorc, played for like half an hour, fucking around a bit in forrest of giants...man, I dont think I have it in me to start over >_<
went back to my main character, turns out the
was right outside the
, so I got that. Majula lady now tells me to go to "the castle", and I have no idea what shes talking about lol. I remember seeing a door somewhere I couldnt open early on, but I think that needed a ring, not the greatsouls...
where do I go guys?
went back to my main character, turns out the
boss for the last great soul

thank you for the new wallpaper~
Is there anyway at all to
I have the
but i might as well not be wearing it for all the good it does.
I'm genuinely dreading the
areas because of how fast it builds up :/
Also am i the only one who feels that there are too many bosses in this game?
Feels like every fog door i step through is a boss or mini boss now, they don't seem as special or they lack the buildup that they had in DS1.
lessen the effect of poison in Harvest Valley
I have the
Poisonbite ring

just pop a lifegem or drink some orange juice to negate the poison really, or if you have a lot of moss, use that. poison is much harder to avoid this time
Note that weapons degrade REALLY fucking fast if you swing at corpses / enemies that are already dead. Try killing an enemy and swinging at its corpse and keep an eye on the weapon durability.
You could try and wear the regeneration ring to counter the life loss.
I don't know how well that'd work though.
Guess i'll go farm a lot of moss then before i finally properly explore there.
I've got that and it's like a drop in an ocean of poison lol

Starting to have a lot more luck finding sinners to invade. I don't even want Wrath of the Gods anymore (I changed my build from faith to int) but I'd still like to get to the 150 kills just for the practice. I got to 50 today... I'm on my way!
ring is useless and so is the black leather armor
you just gotta pop one or two lifegems and counter it that way

Not this time. You can be invaded anytime. It's just that there s no (easily accessible) infinite supply of invasion items until NG+, so they're quite rare.
The
gas
drain all the poison water from the zone/boss area.
lighting the big windmill on fire with a torch.
Ok, thanks. I guess it will happen more as more people get to NG+ and further then.
Like Holden said if you're hollow it's very unlikly that you'll be invaded. Plus most invasion happen in NG+. If you're itching to fight people go to either the
Bell tower or the Tomb of the Saints.
whats a havelyn?

Full Havel's set with power stanced dual Avelyn crossbows. Fires six bolts in rapid succession.
probably one that rolls with havel's armor?

The shaded ruins fork is where ya want to start. Try taking all the paths...
Just beat the game, really enjoyed it, disappointed in some of the weapons.
After finishing I helped a bunch of people with the final boss to get a bunch of souls, have like 2.5M soul memory now and tons of fully upgraded weapons. Not sure if I want to do NG+ or not. Leaning towards not, but we'll see.
I felt the boss weapons just weren't that good compared to my regular mace that I started with as a knight (once fully upgraded), was disappointed with most of the weapons that needed twinkling titanite as well, except for the dranglaec sword as my backup when my mace broke.
They don't seem too bad. The cookie cutter resonant weapon on Santier's Spear on the other hand...
Losing 1700+ HP because they land a 1H rolling attack is scary.
Let me guess. Malformed Skull?
Finally got through LB. Ironically I could never beat the boss as a phantom. I also beat the SR boss as a phantom. My greatsword did some impressive damage, but it was a bit tough since the area is so dark. And seconds after I beat that boss, I killed myself by missing a jump.

I have 1917 HP and I got one shotted by a Great Resonant Soul :O
I never experienced anything that insane when I played my Hexer on the PS3.

No! Use
lifegems! They're only 300 each, an unlimited supply is in Majula, and two will generally handle the poison and then some.

Rings don't stack and seeing as you are in Iron keep, Titanite should become a bit more abundant relatively soon.
