It will stop leveling up the boss at NG+7 so that will be fun if guardian wasn't normal mob in a cage.
Talking about killing the boss again in the next NG. At NG +17 already, there won't be a next NG.
Didn't know that. Still NG +7 boss would be tough.

I was out of the country for a little over a week since launch day, so I'm pretty far behind in this game.
I've been really touch-and-go with any research on the game... definitely don't want to spoil anything... but I've seen comments about covenants being different this time around. It looked like abandoning/changing covenants either didn't cause sin or didn't have the same negative impacts as DS1. Is it true that you can freely join and leave covenants? It also inferred that your rank in a covenant wouldn't be lost when leaving, too.

Yes, you can leave/change covenants at any time with absolutely no consequences. You keep your rank and you don't get sin.

Awesome. Thanks!
Thanks man
Just defeated the final boss!
Loved the shit out of this game, more than DkS1 in many aspects.
Looking forward to new game + !
Also, has anyone figured out what those flames on the stone map do? I know how they appear in there...but is there something else to it?

Very noob-ass question: if I'm a warrior is there a preferred stat or two to level?
Damn!
I have played the game for 40 hours now. I was going to the end boss and got stuck on the loading screen. I restarted the game but now everytime I try to load my character the game stops working. Just get *.exe file stopped working! Can load my other lvl 12 character just fine.
Do anyone know if there is a solution to my problem?

Random question: does anyone have the Japanese box art as a 1920x1080 wallpaper (or higher)?
This one:
Vitality, vigor, strength, adaptability, and maybe dex depends what your using.

I remember that now. Wonder why the candle room was stripped of function. It would have been a nice touch. It is also odd that they made getting summoned to the fight so counter intuitive. No one would be able to figure it out outside a wiki or forum discussion. Maybe it was too hard to code for some reason.
On the player info screen there is an icon for sin. Looks like chain links iirc. Mine has no number value, just a "--" though. However, I know I have sin built up, because I used a red eye cracked orb twice and now I am getting invaded left and right. Apparently, invasions can definitely happen on your first play through pretty regularly, you just have to sin/invade someone else. I had the same guy invade me 3 times in a row at the wharf while I was trying to farm a sea bow.
It's how it works in Demon's Souls though (leaving a sign in world 3 for the old monk fight). So, I kind of just figured that's how it works here and I was right. Definitely obtuse if you didn't play that game though. Surprising that it's not part of a covenant.

So I've got the king's ring.
I've:
Have I missed something to interact with that tree, or do I need to keep playing to figure it out?
Thanks
I've:
- Killed the Throne Defender & Watcher.
- Killed the dragon and got the path to the castle with loads of dragons.
- Opened the door by the Giants area... and there's just a tree that I can examine but nothing happens.

You're a little early, go explore other places, like
the castle
Yeah, you're right.

Cool, thank you!
You could do that in NG as well.
What does armor matter if you never plan on getting hit?

I watched a speedrun earlier, you can skip the door just by doing some platforming.

So is there any clue as to where I'm supposed to go after getting the
? I have already been to all the king doors and the one in
which seems way too difficult atm. I don't actually want to know where to go, just if there are any clues in-game that I'm missing. Otherwise I'm just going to go back to every area in the game to find out how to advance. I thought after lighting the 4 primal bonfires the game would end but it seems to have gone in a post-lord vessel direction. The difference however is that in DS1 gave you some kind of direction and the cutscene showing the gold fogwalls dissipating clued you in as to where to progress. DS2 doesn't seem to do any of that and all the NPCs become worthless after Drangleic castle.

I like the way you think. The clangorous covenant needs people like this.
We are not lowly invaders, we are the dirge of your life!
How does that even work?Easier said then done in this whacky game.

Hope you got a good supply of effigies.
Oh ya, I missed the covenant entirely my first blind play through, only found two of his locations, so I have two full games worth of Effigies. I started with around 70 as I barely use them, prefer to help people with bosses when I need to go human.
I think it's a combination of Poise is less of a factor in DS2 and damage mitigation never being that effective outside of a few situations like boosting fire resist to get the stuff in Iron Keep.

They've never once hit me with that one, strange.
I'd say he rolled too early, MH style rolling gets you killed in DS2.
My brain knows that you have to dodge late, after the jump, to avoid the exploding mummies, but my eye and finger have an unholy alliance, and I mash roll the moment I see the guy prepare for the jump.
Get hit most of the time if I allow them to jump. Five times through the game.
I am the dumbest.
I just slowly stalk in with a bow, or slash them before they get a chance.
Sometimes they do appear behind me all of a sudden and the only thing i can think is:
"well fuck me" *boom*

Ok so I'm at this boss
, and it was made clear on Orange Messages outside the fog gate that I would need
I got that.
First time I went in there I ran around a while before engaging, the second time I went right for the boss. I may be wrong but by running around
I know there's a way to improve this
Can you
?
The Lost Sinner
a torch in the fight
I got that.

did I light up more of the room somehow? My first time fighting the boss it seemed like the room was brighter and I had a longer range for my lock-on to stay on... second time I couldn't get far enough away to use lightning spear before I lost my lock-on, and the room appeared much darker.
I know there's a way to improve this
something to do with getting a key elsewhere, but I dont want to do that now
Can you
bring more light to the room by running around for a while by the extinguished torches on the wall or am I crazy
Check the stats and try them out for yourself to see what you like.

I was getting bored so I respecced to a caster. Shortly after I found the joy of Chameleon + Iron Keep Bridge + soul greatsword / soul spear
I never realized how much fun hide and seek can be.

Crazy, you need the key and do "something" beforehand.
there are 2 oil resevoirs outside the boss fog you can ignite if you have the bastille key, this lights up the room. It's entirely unnecessary to win the fight though, just convenient for locking on with ranged spells.
That's the answer I always get.I don't want to put time and resources in shot equipment which gets me stuck after playing 30 hours so I need to level or whatever.
Point is, there is no "bad" equipment. You use what feels right and upgrade it.
As long as you're good at evading or blocking damage, any weapon will suffice.
EDIT: I do try to pick one that "jives" with my high dex stat.
All but a few automatically stop burning after a while, so no.

Do you guys bother with lighting torchstands?
The game is somewhat easy, outside side bosses.
That weapon is ok, but it is a boss weapon and it will take tons of Twinkling or Petrified titanite to upgrade to the point where it will compete with cheaper weapons.
tl;dr don't lose sleep over this, just use what you like.
God yes.
But there are rare materials like twinkling titanites. It's not like you can buy those.
only on my mage
