Poison arrows are fantastic in this game.
Even big motherfuckers like the
giants in Black Gulch

Makes me wonder if this bug is tied to Agility. All example gif's I have seen posted of bad hits are from folks early in the game and low agility.
If that were the case it would be nearly impossible to dodge many attacks in the game.D=
Heh, I remember hating VoD while going through it, but 5-3 kind of made it all worth it in the end.
That may even be late game considering they are completely optional.
They can pretty much kill everything than 3 bosses which are immune and about five or so normal mobs.

oooo I had no idea that caused it. Glad my game isn't screwy then. Thanks guys
Also I gotta say, the Santier Spear +5 raw is just wrecking most mobs I run into, I'm totally getting spoiled...Damn.
Where in Dark Souls 2 did this kind of music exist? The ending music was great, but otherwise ... I don't even recall much of the music, to be honest. Where is the Pinwheel's Theme equivalent, or the Sif's Theme equivalent? I'm genuinely curious what tunes in Dark Souls 2 stood out to you guys, because it seems much of it went completely over my head.

That is from Kay Plays, she was still low on agility.
That one is amazing, but for me the best it's still this one, mostly for the moment itself in-game:

Listening to that in Gwynevere's beautiful room after one of the hardest boss fights in the game was just an amazing moment...the violins at 0:34 just absolutely nail it...so good.
Also...I'm tempted to say that Majula's music is the best hub music in a Souls game...yes..better than the nexus..
It just feels so safe but so very sad and also nostalgic...love it.

You implied that there was other gifs of said attack.
yeah get yourself some arrows if you don't want to go insane
Yup! I almost put the controller down to just listen to it.

Not this exact attack, but other gif's of ghost hits that were in the early game.
Or turtle your way across the place which takes forever.
Do most lets plays tackle them early on then?

Yup. And they succeeded in doing so too.
I agree SM is flawed and think they need a different solution...but there needs to be a solution. As much as you all hate SM, having low level players be forced to not be able to enjoy the game because a pack of complete asswipes decide it's funny to mess with their day is also completely, totally unacceptable.
Close, but no cigar.
This is the best song in the Souls series.

Almost all. The game kind of funnels you to the Bastille so falk finish it before going anywhere else.
Finished.
Good game, not as good as Dark Souls, which, in hindsight, was almost flawless, but still a fun and enjoyable experience.
That last boss fight though... no challenge whatsoever. I died once because I fell down.

I thought it funnels you more to the pit and the copse myself but I digress.
They should of made it like dark souls in that regard so you stay hollow so you aren't invaded instead of making it so you can be.

That is interesting. I haven't seen anyone even discover the copse or go down the pit before finishing Sinner's Rise.
I finally stopped ganking and finished the game. I really enjoyed it but until something is done about SM it won't be what it could be.
You have to talk to her in the Bastille as well.

I went Majula > FOFG > Heidie > Copse etc.

Huh, no wonder I've seen that scimitar a lot recently in pvp. Thankfully I've only been backstep parried once though. Hopefully that stuff gets patched soon.
It really should be patched, but since it's been in so long I get the impression it's not something that could be easily fixed.

That is probably the best way to start, folks just Fogel about the contraption and/or don't realize Licia moved there to open it.
Anyway, it's just a theory based on observation that agility is a factor in these phantom hits.
Apparently you only have to talk to her in the Bastille, it's all I did at first, only went exploring in another direction because the area you summon her in is pure ass.
I've seen one with the
Smelter Demon.
Well, beat the
with two Sunbros. But I only got ONE sunbro medal? WTF?
Also apparently Magic doesn't do anything on that fight? I didn't seem to have my hits register.
But anyway:
: THE TRUE DEMON'S--er--DARK SOULS BEGINS HERE.
Oh lordy, I have to wade through THAT for Pyromancies at 10 VIG? REALLY? REALLY?!

That was rolling parries which are similar. Monastery scimitar is popular as it is a insta parry weapon you press it and you parry with it.
I though that was the way you were meant to traverse myself.
Cab someone answer this with a yes or no response without spoilling anything? I am in the black gulch right now and feel a little underleveled. I'm not sure if there is so area that I can do before this. I got through Sinner's Rise and went to Graves of Saints afterwards. Am I missing somewhere or is this the correct order?
Hard to answer that with just a Yes or No since it's a compound question. xD
There's another area you can do.
Yes, there is another path or two you can get to from Majula.

Personal favourite.
And I'd agree with Majula having the best hub music from the three games. Did Firelink even have music?

Yeah.
Awesome. I hate this area and am doing nothing on the rotten.
What level are you/what were you using?
That might also affect your co-op experiences negatively depending on circumstances.

Crazy, how could I ever forget after spending so many hours in there! Took about half a second before it all came flooding back.
Still going with Majula for best hub music and Gwyn for favourite track overall.
That means you got invaded by a level 850 dude, which means they were hacking.
yeah really good one too
i'm more fond of maiden astraea's cos gwyn was such a pushover it really ruined the whole moment for me
he gave himself a lot of stats
also huntsman's copse i didnt even realize was a thing until i got my first great soul in sinner's rise
Wow, that's a hell of a lot better than anything in this game.
I quickly gave up on Demon's Souls back in 2010. Now that I've played (and loved) both Dark Souls 1 & 2, I should give it another shot.
If your talking about Luna then yes you will be.
