Summon Lucatiel, she's a great tank for all the fights she's available for.

Is there a way to increase poison resistance like poison bite ring?
Oh, this guy. Come help me he would. Back me up in that boss fight he said.
WHY WAS HE NEVER THERE. Apparently you don't have to summon him like other NPCs but, I was human, and he just never appeared.
Fight was easy but still. Also had Lucatiel glitch out and refuse to enter a fog door after I challenged a boss. NPCs be weird.

Yes but in my experience it doesn't help much.

try torch, here!

Alternatively, a good supply of poison moss. I think the boss fight is much more fun that way.
Nah man. They kicked my ass a couple of times on my SL1 CoC run. Pinwheel can't even manage that.
The slow movement is too much for me, and trying to eat the moss while Queenie is trying to stab you through the eye may cause offence

Heide Lance? Hmmmmm didn't know there was one.

Eh, you get used to that real quick. Plus most of the jumps are for optional gear.
There's a ring you can get that vastly increases your survivability regarding fall damage. In fact, I'd say the control changes (left stick click to jump) have meant that I've been exposed to far less accidental deaths than before.
Down for me too
*eventually take message advice and plunge attack to platform*
*land on platform facing wrong direction*
*turn around slowly. Act of turning around changes footing. Fall off platform to doom*
Alternatively:
*turn around slowly. See minor gap between platform and destination. Resolve to roll/jump past it. B doesn't trigger in time, plunge off platform, die*
DARK SOULS
I think it's steam! RE6 won't connect either! (don't judge me)
New game is started from the majula bonfire manually. Ascetics reset the area and raise the difficulty whilst allowing new game drops.
There's along with the Heide grand lance.

Can you get a second sublime bonedust from Heide's then?

Game finally arrives today. CE statue is a lot bigger than I thought (very nice), clothe map feels a bit cheaper than I thought (not as nice as the FFXIV one and even that felt just like a cloth I'd use on my glasses) and now the servers are apparently down 
I don't really want to play if I can't get the proper experience (messages, threat of invasion etc). Really sucks. Downloaded the GeDoSaTo thing Durante made though so I guess I'll start a game and make sure it works and runs well with that.
Does the SweetFX post processing make a big difference in trying to get the feel of the world similar to waht was shown in pre-release media?

Yeah I'd definitely recommend waiting so you can get the online stuff from the very start, even just for the 'overwhelming bleeding but hole ahead' messages.

Whoa, invaded a sinner in The Gutter and it looked like he hadn't lit any of the sconces around the place. I was glowing blue so I'm sure I stood out like a sore thumb, but I managed to not get jumped and killed the host in almost complete darkness.

So it's not just me? Phew...
Did the game just put a couple of items in a place where you CANT get out of without dying? I dont remember the first game ever doing that :/
this is bullshit
A little path that you drop of onto near one of the dragons open spaces

Check out the item you got from the chick when you first went into that area
Or use a homeward bone
I did NOT know that homeward bone didnt clear your souls, for some reason I thought it did. yay. This seems like an amazing farming area, especially for mats

Not sure if it leaves a stain for other players, but as far as your own world is concerned, no stain.
just got all the STR weapons I could with all the boss souls, just for funsies. Might upgrade some stuff, some look awesome (
!)
edit: oh the
dont respawn... ffs. I know I know, I should have known with all the talk of upgrade mats being limited now... I just want to upgrade weapons for fun damn it
one of the shoots lazers amg
edit: oh the
dragons
Your soul memory will keep increasing no matter what so levels aren't relevant now to co-op. It's memory based.

Should have just tapped B once to back step onto the platform. Problem solved.
I think it's unfair to criticize the game based on one optional hidden area though. That's meant to be hard to reach. I have had my character refuse to run before a jump once but that was due to my not realising that I'd already exhausted my stamina and could no longer sprint until it was fully recharged.
It's not an overly intuitive system but it works and I don't miss most jumps any more. Not as much as I did in DkS 1 anyway.
