Get in close, it'll only use the laser when there's no one in range of its other attacks (in my experience at least), which are mostly really easy to avoid if you circle.

Stick to it's sides and you're 100% guaranteed to not get beamed; the move is blatantly telegraphed so you'll know when to react.
No problem! I couldn't believe how quickly the lightning spears tore through the arrow guy, like butter.
Ya I can't wait to try the Defender out down the line, going to use the Pursuer for a while.
I didn't really like the Zwei all that much due to the low damage.

Around Level 80 and arrived at
. Is this a good level for the area, since it's the first point in a long time where ways come together again.
I finished DS1 with some crazy low level for a first walkthrough, so I can imagine I'm underleveled as usual.

I circled it ccw from head to head, in case of laser I ran under her (from my sight) right feet to her back, kicked her face 1 time, continued circeling, rinse and repeat. It was pretty easy once I got the hang of it.
edit: By "kicked her face" I obviously meant "stab it". Don't try to actually kick. Oh and get rid of a few adds every few minutes.
I pretty much spent the entire second half of the game at level ~90. I finished the game at level 120 only because I had to upgrade my STR/VIG/DEX to equip the Pursuer sword while retaining >50% equip.
My SM was massive, but SL is low. I spend all my souls on upgrade materials and spells for achievements.
Normal. Takes a long way through the game to find the upgrade ember for Mcduff.

If you
kill Creighton, Pate is thankful and gives you the key to his secret stash... which is booby trapped and designed to kill you.
What a swell guy.
You need to go to
Iron Keep and get the dull embers and give it to the blacksmith in Lost Bastille
Edit: I must say this game is far more enjoyable on pc. Looks great and runs so much better than the ps3 version. Definately had changed my opinion on the game.

Where do I go after getting all 4 great souls? 2 souls are in my inventory because I accidently traded the Sinner one for his sword

any recommended spots for sunbro-ing?
I just whacked lightning on it and use it because it's light compared to the rest of the ultra greatswords.

So what's with the new inaccessible areas on my bonfire warp menu? when and why did they appear?

I'm seeing heaps of sunbro symbols at the Smelter demon boss gate so that could be a spot. JUST watch out and make sure the host doesn't die 5 seconds in. I just guided someone who ran away of the Alonna knights like a wimp while I was 2-3 hit killing them with ease.

I love the Gower's Ring of Protection, perfect for using with bracing knuckle ring +2, but I find the ghosting visual effect to be really hard on the eyes. Is there any way to disable it? I'm playing on PC.
Roll back to the last WHQL, with the clean install option, and see if you are still effected.
I can't give you any information on shadowplay as I have a 500 series card.
What SL you have? yesterday I was being summoned in less than 2 minutes, one after the other, and I have like 2.5millon SL? or something like that.

does it matter how much soul memory I have when I drop down a soapstone for the sun heir covenant? I have like 1.8 million...
You obviously haven't met any Grand Lances yet...
I'm trying to figure out how to beat them with a bow. But they stab me from miles away and the model never connects when the hit is registered like 1s later.

I've had the same situation. I guess it's normal!
Is it against PvP code to use an estus in a red soapstone duel if the other guy is just running away and trying to chip me down with the avelyn? I almost never use estus in a duel unless the other guy does, but that style of fighting seems like it's designed to take advantage of that unwritten rule. It was also just boring as hell.

What PvP code? This is no gentleman's game. If he doesn't want you to use an Estus, there's an item for that... though I've never used it myself.

there are 2 strategy to kill it. stay away from it and wait for the laser, then run at her side and hit the second head
or
stay very close to its side so you won't get hit when ste stomps and hit the head and go back to the safe spot. if you go with this, the NPC summon may help, he'll keep away the little spiders

i tried it many times (i had to do it on NG+) but when i was running out of effigy i just gave up, remade my characters as a cleric and shove great lightning spears up his ass. he's very weak to fire and lightning

what chime is everyone using?

probably the dragon chime

It's generally frowned upon yes. Given how cheap the Avelyn can be with a proper setup, I can see how it would be tempting. I still wouldn't do it though. Red Phantoms can't estus through soapstone anyway.
One of the reasons it can be frustrating and boring.

No idea. I have less than 1 million myself, just finished off the Old Iron King. But loads of summon symbols everywhere, I'm loving that.
I can't remember what was the soul memory threshold that eventually bunched up everyone.

Oh boy, I didn't know about this one. Since I've maxed out the Sun Covenant I will definitely get the dragon chime during this run.
