ok i think i finished belfry sol? seemed like there was really a super small optional pvp area or something?
anyways, after being invaded by shrek and 420praiseit, i had like an 8 minute crazy adventure with a bellbro invader
guy invaded me and i had like 18k souls on my bloodstain so i wasn't taking any chances, i was gonna make it out alive, whatever it takes
so we start to fight and i'm clearly winning, his attempts at lag-parrying fail and my +7 rapier is pretty overpowered so i sneak a couple hits in between his attacks and get him down to half health, pushing him towards the other end of the rooftops
mr. caius maximus then notices my bloodstain, surrounded by the two archer dwarves that killed me last time, so he decides to try and bait me there, so he has backup from the archers.
i wasn't having any of it, so i stay back and we trade a couple arrow shots, he's pretty bad at timing them i guess cos most of mine land and none of his do. then he just stands there with his guard up and start throwing hello! stones. guy starts throwing them back.
that gets boring after a while, so now it's a gesture duel!
praise the sun!
now we're both getting pretty bored, he drops down and goes all the way around the back.
i thought about poking him while he was on the ladder, but i still have some humanity left
we cross swords again, this time he actually connects a lot of hits, even throws his super pyromancy flame thingie from dks1 and leaves me hanging by a thread
i don't estus when i summon red people to duel but this place was getting on my nerves so estus'd it up and kept on fighting
finally got a few more hits on him and now he was stupidly close to death. we could continue the archer dance but i think he learned that he wasn't gonna beat my patience
he ran to me, turned his back and let me backstab him
and so gray spirit caius maximus was vanquished
i threw a final hello rock in his honor

Through Heide's and No Man's Wharf?!

I love Pokken!
"That thing was too big to be called a sword. Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron..."

I hate that enemies disappear. Early on I have no souls, haven't leveled up, and easy to reach enemies are already drying up.
After the boss (The three thin dudes) go past the bonfire unti you come to circular tower, when you go in there is door out on the left, go there and jump down from the wall/roof.

Got three of the little shits with a lucky Zwei swing (I always kill one initially). After that the fight was a much easier version of Sif. Ugh. I'll take Bed of Chaos over this, no wonder they placed the bonfire where they did.

Just got to the Iron Keep room with all the archers. FML
Wait till you see the boss. I hate that fucker, I died dozens of times.
Maybe I got used to it with anor londo but I didn't find iron keep all that annoying. I found bright cave and shrine of amana to be far more annoying thanks to those homing soul masses.
Just running around with pursuer's UGS in one hand and a GS in the other just for shits. It's actually quite fun when I get summoned for a boss and manage to pull it off.

Yes, don't fight him now.

Yeah I havn't found anything better accross the board yet. The shield is still holding its own as well. Shame is upgrades with Twinkling.
And it's even better when it happens so quick. I can usually do about 4-5 runs in 10 minutes.
Ha ha. Wouldn't want to make the game too easy w/ jolly co-operation and an extremely OP ring.
No-
Man's Wharf and I aren't getting along, it'd be easy enough for me to run through if I could see was going, but I don't quite know every route yet, and the silly arm monsters have been the toughest things for me to fight yet. Nothing I have does enough damage to them to make fighting more than 2 at a time an option...

I tried sniping the first one with nocs + spells. It takes too long and isn't worth it. Just run from him and keep out of line of sight when you engage the others.
Keep a torch handy.
0.0 I love this game.

Just focus on the torso.

Lightning Spears are so much better than Magic Arrows, wow.
Miracles > Sorcery confirmed.
And a quick question about performance: I thought my notebook would be able to handle DS2 just fine, but after 15 minutes of gameplay the fps goes from 60 to 20...
I did a quick check while playing the game: all four cores start at 2.8mhz then after a while, down to 800mhz.
What could be the reason? Maybe the CPU is getting too hot?

Whatever the spell is that homes in on you in Cove is bullshit. BULLSHIT.
Doesn't matter. They are separate things. The +X will stay forever. You can imbue/deimbue it as many times as you wish without affecting it.
Bah, feels like every thing I check now gives me an "Alas, nothing happened." Is Aldia's keep my only option right now? I've done everything up to that point, except for the zone that's to the right of Brightstone in the quick travel menu, which I have no idea how to get to atm.

Wait until you get to Shrine of Amana. MWAHAHAHA
But those spells are exclusive to enemies, Magic Arrow don't travel that far, you can't even snipe with it, which is why Lightning Spears are superior in both damage and range.
I couldn't help myself, was laughing like a mad man.

There's a high probability that your CPU is throttling due to inadequate cooling, something very common with laptops.
By the way, Emit Force is pretty cool too; I love the animation.

Gear:
ez-mode it with a 100% phys def shield like the Drangleic shield, I had to give up my Demon Great Hammer to use a club and shield, but it was worth it.
Strat A:
Be good at dodging. Fight the sentinels one at a time on the first platform you are on when you land. This way they should usually only be 1 at a time on the platform and you won't have to deal with 2 at once.
Strat B:
Get a good 100% / tower shield, heavy armour, and the red-eye ring. Tank the fight while your summon(s) kill the sentinels.
Took me about 4 hours to finally get a combination of the AI summon and Human melee to kite with me to let the AI beat the boss. Geez. :/ I think it may be time to start buffing my VIT from the default Deprived level...
she's pretty hot
depends on the enemies but strike weapons are pretty good against most armored enemies. the range and moveset for most is what kills it for me to use as my main.
