Sorry if this is annoying, but I still am a noob at this.
Is this more efficient/ a better use of my points?

Attunement and some gear will add more spell uses.

Lower your ADP until you get your Agility to 100, Endurance to 20, VGR to at least 20, and higher if you have no where else to put your levels into. Not sure why people keep saying to stop at 20 VGR, it doesn't get bad until 50. The soft cap is 20, but the gains only go down by 33%, most other stats have their soft caps have a 50% decline, so it's still really efficient. HP is huge in this game as well, especially if you are going to PvP or do a lot of Co op.

He won't attack you if you don't provoke him. Each knight you kill drops a different weapon from the Heide Knight set. The one in Forest of Giants drops the Heide Knight Sword while the one in the Lost Bastile drops The Heide Knight Halberd I think
You would need to defeat at least two.
You need to go from Majula to Heide's Tower of Flame, then defeat Dragonrider in order to get the cleric lady upstairs to move back to Majula. This gives you access to Huntsman's Copse, which connects Majula to Harvest Valley after you defeat the boss of the Copse.
Don't think having more than 5 makes a difference.
Yea, just did that today myself.
Doing that, god damn this bullshit dragon.
Awesome man!! You made it look easier than it is though...your move speed was so slow also!!!!! Congrats.
Try to rape the AI by
standing front of the hind feet but avoid the middle...if he starts breath run away fast!
I just take explorer for all melee charaters as it has the lowest faith and INT...the extra stuff helps, dual wield daggers right away with stone ring, and since I am in the ADP camp it has a decent amount to start the game with...I just raise all levels to suit after that.
Doesnt appear to be, keep going, aim for 99 in all stats by the time DS3 rolls around
Do these Nazgul-like enemies in the hall before the Velstadt boss fight respawn after you kill them? When I was summoned in other players worlds they were not there sometimes so I guess there is a way to make them disappear? Also any way to co-op Vendrick?

There's a zombie under the stairs who rings a bell that endlessly summons them. You've got to kill him to stop them from spawning.
Well of the three useless stats for pure melee, ATN/FAI/INT, Bandit has a total tally of those levels at 11 (2 ATN, 1 INT, 8 Faith) Explorer has 17 (7 ATN, 5 and 5 INT/FAI). Explorer also has really low STR/DEX values. The extra stuff in the beginning is a novelty for me at this point. I have no problem with the early game, I just rush to get Lenigrast key and get myself a Mace and Estoc in 30 mins or so anyway.
Edit: @VisceralBowl. Equip load is what effects your roll length, try to go for sub 50% to get a longer roll, and much faster stamina regen (which is also determined by equip load).

are you going melee only or looking to be able to cast some spells, too?
nm people have helped already

I was looking to do both, but I think I will just go melee.
Yeah stopping at 20VGR for PVP seems crazy to me for the builds I usually make.

Guys I am near the end I guess.
Went into the memories and got the Giant Soul and Ancient Dragon Soul. That was one hell of a experience. Such despair I was not expecting. I think the Queen is the final boss now. Going to Drangleic Castle anyhow. These feels.
So knights are perfect for min maxing strength weapons then more or less?
Yep, if you have 10 or less Dex than Knight is the best class to just crank STR levels into.
EDIT: If you are going super low ADP for a tanky build that doesn't rely on rolling, then Bandit would be better because of the lower base ADP. And then you still get 6 More dex to play around with.
Just mess around with the mugenmonkey and see what you like.

Pick a weapon you like and spend the required points in STR/DEX in order to use it. Scaling is a little trash in this game
Rest of your points can be spread amongst HP, equip-load, stamina and getting your Agility up.

The Dark Soul get. Can put the game to rest for a while, now

So I thought I killed the
but I am not sure now because only three souls are popping up in my inventory.

I've seen a lot of people using that. Is it only good for warriors or knights?

Iron Keep is the best area in the game.
It's possible you might have forgotten
to pick up the great soul after Freja. You have to pick it up separately unlike the other bosses. It's in the arena where you fought her.

Freja Soul looks different. It is also not an auto pickup, there would have been a red glowing pickup on the ground after the fight.
Well I started with a knight and I'm pure melee (strength) so I guess so. It scales really well (A) and does more damage than pretty much every weapon whilst swinging faster. Giant Club could hit harder but it swings a lot slower and the sticks really mess up the aiming.
So I had 6 Sunlight Medals, and decided to keep putting my summoning sign outside of
and
(as it also gave me practice when it was actually my turn to do it solo - this feels less cheating that looking at Youtube!)

NG+ and part of ++ went so fast.
What a game! But I need a break, haha.
Congrats. I am jealous, I plan to do it too but I will be lucky to finish in the next 90 days.
50 hours later and after having finished the game, I find out on my second character that you can blow a wall in the second forrest of giants bonfire that leads further in the level, nice shortcut

Yea some speedruns blow the wall from inside actually. The splash damage from a firebomb will trigger the explosive barrels on the other side. Don't know if it works on this version.

I've had that happen before as well. Don't see any summon signs/messages, then I put my summon sign down and a ton of them appear.

Just beat thePray? LOL!
You can opt not to leave the game for NG+ at any stage of the end game and I would buy all the vendor stuff and consider killing some of them before moving on....grinding certain invaders will be easier in NG like thewarrior andmad...the covenant ofrhoywill be easier in NG right....consider all that before moving on...you will have lots of warning.....champions
but getting back to bosses.....
AD aint dat tough if you rape the AI.is downright a bastard/bastardess whatever and was the toughest boss in the game for me to melee....I eventually used a teeny weenie bit of pyro.....who am I kidding I chaos stormed his/her ass....but even with that he/she is still a tough boss.....some might say even cheap...but I am still fresh off fresh wounds so might be a little clouded in judgment.Darklurker
Yeah dont watch these vids prior to giving it a shot yourself first but if you are having trouble have at er:
raping the AI on(heavy spoiler...it makes the boss trivial)Ancient Dragon
Mostly melee of(most intense boss fight in the entire let's play...was down to a sliver of health twice.)Darklurker
Darklurker. I guess I should be thankful I used a Soul Vessel to turn my heavy melee character into a sort of Paladin one a couple of hours ago, the Darklurker was apparently much more easy since all I did was dodge and throw Great Lightning Spears. It was moderately quick. Getting to him was pissing me off though.
Only boss left is the Ancient Dragon but can I really fight him if I've talked to him before? Do I need to use a Bonfire Ascetic? Will I miss on much if I don't kill him?
But how about pvp in Belltower and that rat place, isn't that also affected by your soul memory?
