yeah, the exploration of both the environment and the mechanics is a huge part of the fun for me as well. don't really get the wiki mentality, why not fumble around a bit yourself and when you figure it out mostly you start a new character. min/max'ing everything the first run through, does anyone play it like this? where is the fun in that.
Near the central bonfire you can walk up to the big windmill on the edge of the building, bring a torch there and set it on fire. This removes the poison from her room.
That's it?
What about the Pharos stone near the room as well?
I'm guessing
burning the wind mill = remove the poison
Pharos Lock Stone = drain the remaining water from the area

That was incredibly helpful. Thanks!
I went up an hit them with a mastodon greatsword and they died quite quickly. The pyromancy ones are the nasty ones. The tree of the giants gives you seed of a giants you do look around don't you?

Are Bell Bro's summoned regardless of where in the game they are or do they have to be in the tower as well?

2v1?
That's cold bro.
close proximity. and have to have the ring on. Any Lost Bastille bonfire will do, you'll see the bellbro icon in the upper left glow...then it's time to farm them chunks.
35 hours into DkS 2, beat DeS on import before most people on GAF had even heard of it, and you ask if I look around? Condescending much?
There was no seed in its hand when I saw it first time. Second time I was just confused as to why it wouldn't let me enter a memory. Pressed A, picked up a seed. Assumed that this was just something they all did. It looks the same to all the giant statues - had no idea about the invasion/seed mechanic. And, honestly, why the f*ck would I? I went to that area once, no boss door, no shortcut, no merchant. Never went back.
If you're really going to argue that the whole 'Vendrick Armour Reduction' and 'Memory' nonsense is in any way transparent and not horribly obtuse, I don't think you'd get very far.
Ok what's happened to the ladder slide. First attempt I catapulted myself off the ladder almost to my death. Did you always have to hold the button?
Also almost got eaten to death by a bunch of skinless pigs whilst chatting to the Irish looking lady. When did they come from? 3 of them came running at me from no where. I did take a peek in that big hole though, which was taunting me with out of reach shinys.
Hahaha well yeah that sort of makes sense but compared to the rest of theme of the world a few of them stick out like sore thumbs.

You're 70-75% of the way there if you've done everything else, there's one largeish area and 3-4 small ones after that level.
The room after the first ever bonfire in Drangleic Castle was more problematic than he was.
I have no clue, I was streaming at the time and someone told me and I had the same reaction you did
It always ends up 2v1 unless someone dies fast. One guy invades my game, we start duking it out, then another comes in almost guaranteed.
There seems to be a limit on invasions after killing a few of them because then I have to go back to rest at the bonfire in order for them to continue invading.
You have hold and hit a direction now, but the upside of this is you can fast move up ladders now, not just down. Tapping B now makes you release the ladder and drop.

Your complaining about an assumption you made that's why I asked.

I've had that happen a lot as well. I find it shitty when I get pulled in and there is already 2 there for the other side. Generally results in insta-gib
I do think the soldier's rest bonfire giant is a strange/bad design choice. You might be inclined to check out the giants
after getting the ashen mist heart
The
fight was fun. Different from the others. Quite good to co-op, too - especially when you get paired with a third person who has never seen it before, and gets insta-gibbed.
I'm at the
now. I can't tell if I'm half way through the game, or nearing the end - I'm already level 120 (or there abouts).

If you didn't
already beat the Throne Duo before obtaining Giant's Kinship, you'd have to do an endurance battle, back to back with Nashandra right after.
About 2/3's done.

You can bone out of there no problem if you want to.
SeventhSon

Yes. And you don't have to use a bone, just Quit Game from the menu. When you reload, you'll be outside the boss door. This works for all bosses in all souls games.
hey_it's_that_dog
benevolent sexism
Yes, but he can smash you while you kneel down, so make sure you have health and are as far away from him as possible.
Also, why are you carrying 120k souls around? Sometimes we bring heartache upon ourselves.
Yes, or Quit game after you grab your souls and you will be in front of the boss fog when you reload. Homeward bone is a little too risky because of how long it takes. Wear a Life Protection ring, rush in there and grab your souls, quit game and reload it. Then you can homeward bone right in front of the boss fog safe and sound.
Sulli, just wanted to mention again in case you missed it, the latest version of it allows you to downsample in Borderless Windowed mode, which enables Alt-Tabbing
Another tip: you can wear the rings that negate the loss of souls on death.
If you die while wearing the ring, you will not create a new bloodstain and your current bloodstain will still exist.
Well there is a place you can go to that tells you directly where to go with the memory stuff:
The queen you meet in Drangleic very explicitly tells you where to go in the latter half of the game. She tells you what to do the first time you talk to her and tells you what to do basically at each point in the latter half of the game.
Also the Armor thing is pretty obscure, yah, I agree but it isn't something mandatory and not getting it immediately should lead you to wonder where it is.

Rumor: Project Beast in development at From Software. Sony Japan Studio rumored to be involved. Doubtful it will come to PC if the Japan Studio rumors are true.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=812089
Wow, can't believe they have something far enough along to start teasing already. Probably over a year away from release, but my PS4 is ready if that's the case.
Hope to GOD for PC.
Gone through this thread and a few other places and ever set of SLI bits I've used have had some issues here and there, mainly texture flickering. Anyone got a preferred set at all? Cheers in advance.
Aha! Thanks, that makes sense as to why I almost committed suicide.

Eh. Stats wise Drangleic is good, minus the weight. You could always buy the Elite Knight set in Majula. It's damn sexy.
Me thinks this Pharos dude was quite the asshole... also didn't realize the
Grave of Saints
Blightown.2
Also fuck poision and this area.

ProTip : don't carry that many souls into a boss fight. That's a brutal amount to walk around with. I hate even being over 10k.
Got changed to the manikin mask instead. Looks terrible, should have stayed with the original.
apparently there was issues with naruto thats why they changed it
Not likely.
It's been heavily rumored that From is working with Sony Japan Studio on this one.
Looks like the rumored PS4 project that Miyazaki is working on.
Check my Twitter, I just sent a good bit to Total Biscuit.
I would link you myself but it's not really easy for me at the moment.

Most bosses are weak to lightning damage. Maces (even the mace you start with) are the superior pve damage type. Free healing on Faith build. Basically put enough strength and dex to use the strike weapon you want, find a 100% physical shield, and then just put points into faith for more damage, or endurance, vitality, adaption (all have softcaps at 20) and enough in vigor to be below 70% equip weight. Imbue your weapon with either lightning or fire and you're pretty much good for the rest of the game. The chest piece you start out with as a cleric is also really good.
edit: Oh and attunement, you'd probably be fine with 3-4 slots which is 16/20 points iirc.
What about GeDoSaTo is not working, specifically?
It's just not doing anything at all?
So, playing regular old NG, in Huntman's copse, wanted to pick up a miracle and some items from Blue Sentinels Covenant. Bought my stuff and figured what the heck, donned the ring. Traveled back to HC to get to the third bonfire, and bam "You are being summoned". I was, oh shit, didn't actually expect it to go off from all the talk about it on NG. I get teleported in, right at the tree you knock over by second bonfire, invader right next to me. I get a few whacks in, and then promptly die. =x
I would stay in the covenant but I'm not built for pvp and I'm not good at it, from the two encounters I've had so far. That Wrath of the Gods miracle being at 150 kills sucks, don't think I'll ever bother because there is no way I'm gonna kill enough to get that amount. That Sunbros covenant looks better and easier to attain the 30 medal reward, trying to get there atm.
