Playing this game a second time on NG is so much easier. Like, near laughable with the exception of Belfry Luna. Can't even walk in there and have time to lay a sign down before the raiding happens.

I swear that place is designed to kill her.
2x 560 ti, solid 60 FPS, 50-70% usage without DOF.
I'm lagging way behind everyone else, but I just beat the Skeleton Lords in Huntsman's Corpse. I've been cooping at the boss for awhile.
I've been very torn though on how to distribute my upgrade points. I'm a Str build and I have 30 STR and 12 DEX right now. I'm wondering if I should stop pumping points in to STR and focus on Vigor and Endurance?
My Vitality is at 14 right now I believe.

Ah. I only have one 560, but have kept a pretty solid 60fps so far (outside of Earthen Peak, some drops there). I might try and bump up a bit and see what kind of hit I take. Not doing anything external yet, just 1080p and maxed.

I'd like to think that bust / plaque originally had a gameplay purpose attached to it with how it stands out, namely a more intuitive method of getting summoned by the Looking Glass Knight. Just baseless conjecture on my part though, given how unnecessarily 'complicated' it is to invade someone else's world for that specific boss fight.What do you think the significance of this is?
This was also scrapped from that area, sadly:
"They will stand in a room filled with candles, leading to a long marble gallery, seemingly part of an antiquated mansion or castle. We're told that the candles in the bonfire room light up with every player's death at the hands of the Mirror Knight."
With the way scaling works in this game, just pump STR/DEX for your weapons and then focus on your health and stamina for a bit.
You will get much more immediate damage from just upgrading your weapons.
I do not have the upgraded 448 version however.
560 ti's are an amazing card. The only problem going into this generation of console is the VRAM limitations.
That happened to me too lol. Beat him by myself on NG+, was funny to see her health bobbing just outside the fog door.
So I summoned lucatiel at sinners rise right before lost sinner and I was walking beside her on the path to the boss and she walked off and died
Lucatiel was buffed so the bosses don't stomp over her, and she even tanks pretty well.
But I've had her die on the Wharf, and plain old not enter Smelter so fuck her.
Aslatiel abandoned you for a reason.
That'd make sense.
But I'd rather have them LGK be part of the Belfry covenant.

haha. Glad I got lucky with her then. Managed to keep her alive, even through Smelter. I played meat shield while she wailed away
It is true and its broken.
edit: video I made (including monastery scimitar) http://youtu.be/kzso_RI-zv4
I guess I'll just focus on getting my STR rating up to 40 then focus on pumping equal amounts into Vigor and Endurance.
I wondering what's a good stopping point for Vigor and Endurance? I want to get my Faith stat up as well so I can use miracles (particularly healing and lighting based miracles).
Ah. I only have a single 660ti. I doubt I'll be able to downsample and maintain the 60fps I'm enjoying. Still, I'll try kicking everything up to high tonight and see how it goes.
I need a little advice:
I'm currently building a sorcerer/hexer. My goal is 50/30 int/faith and I'm almost there. I'm currently using a +6 rapier with minimal str and dex and, while it does it's job, I feel the need to enchant it. I'm torn between going with magic enchant to take advantage of my high int even though many enemies have high magic resistance, especially bosses, and going with lightning or dark enchant even though my faith isn't that high but the mobs and bosses usually have low resistance to those elements. What should I do?

So I'm at a bit of a loss once again, some help ( without much spoilers) would be appreciated!
I believe I'm at or nearing the endgame:
Again, if some of these lore-focused questions will be answered later please no spoilers! I'm just afraid I might already be missing something?
I believe I'm at or nearing the endgame:
So I'm at a bit of a loss as to what my character is doing at this moment. I've retrieved the King's Ring from the now Hollow King ( can you kill him btw? I didn't try to attack him ).
I went to the dragon shrine and spoke to the ancient dragon, and he gave me something to peer into the memories of the giants.
So first of all, what is the lore reason for this? Why did I go to the ancient dragon ( how the hell does he even exist? wasn't the last dragon the everlasting one in dark souls, which is set long ago before DkS2? )
Now I went to the giant behind the king's door, went to the memory and killed the Giant Lord, which gave me a sort of key to the King's Throne. Is this where I should go next? If so, is it in the king's castle ? ( the rainy castle ).
Or am I supposed to go to all of the giant's memories ?
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I am doing in general. I know I'm trying to get rid of the curse, but supposedly wasn't the king that held that secret? Is that why I need to go to the throne room beneath the castle now?

The Gyrm Great Hammer is amazing for PVP.
The roll + r1 is a quick, horizontal slash perfect for deadangling. The 2-handed R2 catches people off guard with the second spin and sends them flying.
You could max the game easy with a 660ti.
You are very much on the right track with the ancient dragon explanation. The soul you get on his defeat and some item descriptions yield more pieces to the puzzle.
You probably just forgot, but if you port to the first bonfire in Drangleic Castle, all questions will be answered as to where to go next.
As for the other giant memories, their hate for King Vendrick continues on.

i really need that fucking staff that is also a chime, im not even using the hexes that need chimes (the more powerful ones lol) because I just cba switching between staff and chime (and sword) all the time. undead crypt is so far away too
speaking of hexes, I could use more dark orbs. the dmg is nice, its only 1 slot and uses the staff. I have 2 atm which gives me like 48, i could use a third

There is so much to do in this game. And every time I get stuck somewhere, I find a new area I can open up somewhere else.
Really loving it so far.

Random question: does anyone have the Japanese box art as a 1920x1080 wallpaper (or higher)?
This one:
This one:
That's all the boss fights done for me on NG, rinse and repeat is the name of the game for that one. Nowhere near as
klurk
So, looking at the achievements list, can I finish Lucatiel and Bernhardt achievements on NG or do I finally have to move on to NG+?

You'd have to move on I think unless you want to ascetic the bosses and do that instead?
Probably just move on I think. Only summon Lucatiel and Bernhardt once in my whole NG. Does that count on NG+ or do I have to summon them three more times again?
I'm getting 404 not found.

I believe 3 more times. quest lines shouldn't carry over between play throughs.

My bad. Fixed.
Phantom in Aldia's keep in new game plus it's not a guaranteed drop however.

What's the arbiter spirit that I just killed? Blue orb invader? I was never able to make use of those things. Who are the guilty exactly?
You are the guilty. It means you have sin from either killing NPCs or from invading other players. To use them you have to be in the blue sentinels covenant and be human. It's much easier to get frequent invasions with them in NG+.
chaobreaker
Member
Players who kill NPCs.
Probably better off just going for them on NG+.
If you miss talking to them once, or don't summon Lucatiel in the right spots, then the NPCs will disappear. I suppose Jugo may be possible if he is in the Memory.

Did you at least get the set it drops from all of that?
That video is amazing. Awesome looking weapon.
At least she's easy to farm. I just beat her and no dice.

Oh didn't know you could get guilty from invading as well. Good to know. Is there a way to check my sin level?
Good luck killing the boss next time.
Think I've only got the last boss left to do now other than
so just looking for doors to open. How do I get the blue doors open in
? Also keep getting summoning cancelled whenever someone tries to summon me today, is there something up with Steam?
