Anything with a katana since you can apparently hit people 40 feet away. They must hit the air so powerfully that it damages me. This game can be atrocious online.
Lucky you're playing the game with the casual patch. Too bad PC players couldn't play the game before it was nerfed to hell.
Out of soul memory range for other players. Where are you and what is your memory?still no one summoning mewhyyyy i just want to coop

Gotta go to ng+ with that SM.
The NPC summon is really helpful there. I had a big ass shield and just keep "aggro" on me while the NPC did most of the work. Yeah the first is in a really small area but you want to try to beat him up there so that you don't have to deal with all of them at the bottom.
I got that SM hours ago before beating nashandra on another char. i ended up beating all the bosses at 4m SM. Didn't pop a single soul but acetic'd a few times some places.
this one's just at 2m tho. soul memory is stupid.

Strangely, I have a problem with the online features of the game: I can read messages left by others, I can see ghosts, I can be invaded in Belfry Luna, I can summon the help of others when I am in human form, but everytime I try to invade someone or to help someone, I get stuck for 5 minutes at the loading screen and then I get a message that the online connection failed and timed out.
The
is too good for how early you get it, the shield is fine but the rest you dont replace for ages with any character that bothers with armour. Then again I was talking to someone who hadnt cleared
even though they'd downed the
so I suppose there is a chance you wont get it super early.

You misunderstand, if I get hit at all, I'm pretty much dead before the summons get there.
NPC summon or human summons, don't matter. We can pot-shot that one but it'll fall eventually and then we're screwed if I'm not screwed entering and dodging in the meantime.
(BTW does that NPC even matter in the story? I'd just summon two humans otherwise)
Strike damage and blocking/dodging their attacks.

On that fight it's absolutely crucial to make sure the boss is still in an attack and you have sufficient space before you heal. It aggroes bigtime when you try to flask so you want to be done with the animation and ready to dodge when that happens.
The diving stab and the end of the three hit combo should be good times to heal up. If the boss does a combo and then jumps back, don't go for it. It'll charge you down and typically stab to finish you off mid-flask.

Get a 100% Physical defense shield or just roll past them to stay behind them.
Boss is optional if you can find the shortcut.

Alright so I see fighting the

Where do I go next? I'm kinda at a loss what to do next with the item the

You mean that door to no where and dropping down? That still leads to the boss, AFAIK.

I have tried 3-4 times and it never worked. I suspect something to do with Windows7 firewall, but I cannot find any relevant piece of info online.
Man... I hate it when a beautiful character goes hollow.
It's like Beyonce always said: If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it.
The ring that lets you keep human form when hollowed that is.
In the character sheet the Lighting BNS is the same with or without the chime equipped, if that is what you are referring to.
Do you remember any areas in the game where there were some remnants from a battle fought long ago? Beings that are resting peacefully?

Great hint, I know exactly where to go now. Thanks.
Yes.
Helping others via co-op has many advantages in this game and does rather decrease its overall difficulty
Hmmm definitely just picked up a lifegem off a mob as a phantom...
You can get armor and weapons.

Ya, that was it. Interesting, I would think there is a negative impact, just can't see where it would manifest.
That is shortcut to the boss. Need the Antiquated key and a Pharros Lockstone to unlock.

His physical defense drops by 50% for every Soul of a giant in your possession. There are 5 total.
So yes? I don't want to ascetic the LGK to get my full Llewellyn set.

Yesterday saw a SunBro Sister running around in some short miniskirt and a what looked like a bikini top, she and I had been summoned to some elite knight's Bastille Boss run, and she does look nice all glowing gold, etc. So the host knight starts harassing her! He gets on one knee and does all sorts of gestures and running into her, and she's swiping at him with her club, and I'm saying into the mic "Am I going to have to report someone for assault?" And he won't stop, so we start running towards enemies, and there are none. He's killed them all before us. So its her and me running down empty corridors, trying to get away from Sir Sexual Harassment. Since we're just trying to get our requirement rewards, he corners us at the boss fog, and won't go in until she starts gesturing no and pointing away. So he goes in to face the Three Sentinels, and kinda dies before we can get there.
I was cracking up into the mic the whole time.
Ya I have the
3 giants + ancient Dragon at Duke's
Ancient Dragon this run
Would have been funnier if he was just using the binoculars to stare at 'epic chest ahead.'
lol that happened to me too.
this is perhaps the last game i'd have expected to meet a fedorabro in
My SM is 2.5m and I'm getting summoned here non stop... But, like you say, the host just fights them... Dies.
Think I might start NG+.
I've tried searching the thread and looking on the Nexus:
Is there any ENB / SweetFX / whatever mod yet that restores the darkness / necessity of torches from the original game without adding a bunch of other crap?
That wickfut video a week ago was amazing but now it looks like he's added tons of other stuff. I want the original look of the game, with as little performance hit as possible, just want to need torches.
EDIT: just saw this post:
Maybe I'll wait until my second playthrough so it's smoothed over?

Just lifegems. Anything else is host-only.

Mhm, according to a lore video I watched, it seems the A

not a real dragon but a creation of Aldia's or possibly Aldia himself. Guess that makes sense. That asshole, I spared him because I thought it was a noble old beast, he's going down now. Then on to new game plus!

Thanks for all the mask recommendations. lol, I'm turning this thread into Fashion Souls for real. Anyway, I may have to post my current armor and build soon so I see where to go from there. Almost level 100 and still have my soul vessels in case I need re-spec.
I'm quite liking the fast travelling from the go. It makes picking co-op spots and travelling to far away doors less cumbersome, although several times I did opt to travel on foot. The enemies despawning feature feels odd but there are some places that are so damn bullshit with the enemy spawns (more like hordes and, quoting someone else, zerg rushes) that I'm glad some stuff despawns to stop wasting my precious durability.
Also, is it worth to use the Fragrant branch of yore on those petrified enemies at the Shaded Ruins?

What do you keep with NG+ this time, anything special? Just items or other stuff too? Wonder if lighted scones will stay lit for example, or bonfire intensity.

I'm not proud of how I did it, but I can't complain with the results. It must have taken me two dozen or more tries to finally beat the fiend.
(boss spoilers)
For the Royal Rat Authority fight I was fortunate enough to have a pyromancy 'proximity mine.' I just set three of those and then aggroed the rats, and they would all gleefully charge into the radius of the explosion. I don't know what I would have done without that pyromancy, a glove, and an attunement slot ring.
For Royal Ray Authority himself, that took a different tactic altogether. I had zero success using melee weapons (I've never hit him with a melee attack), so I ended up staying far away from him and whittling away at his healthbar using a shortbow. It took far too long, but it did manage to kill him.
