Did anyone walk into the boss room in Earthen Peak and
I tried to fight but I just couldn't keep my health up. I didn't know you could
However I did have an awesome moment that reminded me of why the online is so cool in Dark Souls.
My mind was blown. It was so awesome that i learned asomething from the actions of a completely silent co-op partner.
completely shit their pants when they saw all the poison water?
drain all the poison by burning the windmill.
However I did have an awesome moment that reminded me of why the online is so cool in Dark Souls.
When I initially got to the burnable windmill there were vague messages only saying fire. I shot some fire arrows at the windmill but nothing happened. When I entered someone else's game the other person he summoned lit the torch at the nearby bonfire and walked up to the windmill. The host followed suit and proceeded to burn the windmill.
I actually wish Earthen Peak was longer. It had a cool vibe that reminded me of a Zelda game.

LOL! I'm amazed how the console OT has died and gone to lay in eternal rest, but this thread is still going strong, as ever.
Yeah Dragon Acolytes in Aldia's Keep drop petrified dragon bones.
Well the game came out 1 week ago for us, March 11 for consoles. I'm sure that in 1 month this thread will have died down aswell, it's only natural
1/3 or so
If you want a shot at petrified dragon bones earlier on, drop a small white soapstone, help people kill bosses, and drop the smooth and silky stones you get into the nest.

The console thread was moved to community so that this thread could take center stage. That thread is on its second or third iteration and remains active.
I almost beat
in my first try, but now
. What a bummer! That's probably the game telling me to go somewhere else for now, but I was so close!
Anyway, I'm loving the MLGS. I just like the way it looks so I'm sticking to it.
King Vendrick
the duder is hells of resistant to any of my attacks

Keep going.
You can kill him? When I was down there he was just walking around in circles, not responding to my attacks.
Hit him a few more times and he'll eventually become hostile.
You'll need
giant souls
Yeah, immediately after

Coming back to him, I deal no damage anymore.
I have no idea what people consider a spoiler, so I'll err on the side of caution here.
Well ok then. Oh oh, what about
the old guy I found by crashing through the floor at drangleic castle, he said I'm not dark enough for whatever that platform next to him is

Hmm... I only have three. Explains why he's still taking a beating like a champ. Have to do some investigating...
I never used co-op in the first game, pretty much had two companions with every time in this one. So, this game was wayyyy easier. Three of us tore through the final bass like tissue paper.

About 20 hours in and I just noticed you can set 3 weapons per hand. Now I can have a shield, wand, and 2nd Rapier for Power stance, but have to take my helmet off to stay off fat roll.
Oh, so that's the trick. I have one. :O
I was doing okay damage the first time, though. Maybe a bug?

So, guys, I'm so happy.
I have a Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display that I bought this year and the integrated graphics made me think that I wouldn't be able to do any decent gaming with it.
I was so wrong.
Dark Souls II in 60fps with everything on highest. Win!
So so so happy. There's no way I'm ever touching the PS3 version ever again.

Albeit, in 720p, but hey, you gotta lose somewhere, right?

No. He didn't try to eat me, so I didn't attack him.
He drops one.
It's a very, very difficult fight until you figure out his attack pattern. Unless you have the best armor or the strongest shield, he'll kill you with a single hit.

According to IGN you don't need to fight him:
The Ancient Dragon Soul can also be obtained through a much easier method. Return to the chamber where you fought Freja and use the Ashen Heart Key to delve into the memory of the dead dragon found here.

He is a PvE covenant master. Have to find him in 3 separate places to join. The other 2 hidden locations are the Black Gulch and Shaded Ruins.

Did you get the one in the secret cave in the Black Gulch? You can bonfire ascetic that area and get the Giant Soul twice (or more if you want). I did that instead of fighting the Ancient Dragok, so had 5 when I took down Vendrick.

New game +. Different enemies are scattered throughout the world and some boss fights change.
Yep, that's the flame butterfly item. Instant lit torch!

Yeah, there is something for that though don't remember name off the top of my head unfortunately.
EDIT: beaten
There's a consumable item called a Flame Butterfly that you'll find now and again. Don't know if you can farm them.
Yeah, that's definitely an easier method. I felt like I needed to beat every boss in the game before I moved onto NG+, so it had to be done.
By why do that? Light the torch, run to the lighting things. Light them. Drop torch. Relight when you want to light another of those lighting things/scones(?). Since you can relight the torch from those scones and the bonfires.
You'll need at least 3 of them if you plan on doing the Pilgrims of the Dark convenant.

Man, I really, really hate "chivalrous" BellBros. I warp in and start fighting a dude and then see that another BellBro has just invaded as well. I'm like alright alright alright, let's beat this dastardly invader of our tower down together!
Instead, they come down and watch the fight because the don't want to go two on one. Bitch, the Princess didn't say "Defend the tower, but be polite about it." She said "Defend the tower at all cost from all invaders, motherfucker!"
So I do all the work and they reap the titanite reward, the fuckers.
Got 60 wins in the space of a few hours tonight, and the best part of it was when one of the chivalrous BellBros came down, stood around watching our fight, and was promptly stabbed in the back by the host for his troubles. Made me so happy, I didn't even attack him while he beat my traitorous brother down.
(seems like there's an influx of noobs because good God I was wasting fools in seconds flat. Like zero challenge.)

Going up the staircase to the ancient dragon was a lot of fun!
I imagine it will be less fun when I have to fight it over and over D:

Should be able to finish the main game tomorrow. Then postgame stuff and see what I need to do in NG+. I know I missed

So I somehow ended up skipping all of
and
until after I had already finished
.
So I blazed through those two zones and killed like 3 bosses on the first try lol.
Heide's Tower
No Man's Wharf
Lost Bastille

I still haven't joined a Convent.
I'm not looking forward to the 500 invasion wins for Blue. Yeah, I know I can get it on NG++ so it isn't a big deal. I hope the other convent rewards are like that as well.
Though it's weird they made an achievement "Convent of the Meek" for not joining a convent when asked. Not sure why they named it like that if there really isn't a convent for that. :/
