Most of those messages are lies anyway illusory walls stand out from the standard ones so you'll know when you see it.

If you bow in a pvp fight that's just silly. This isn't some duel from the 17th century - it's a video game where your job is to kill the other player. Sorry you take the game too serious - I'm going to use every tool to my advantage to kill you and if it involves attacking while you feel the need to bow, so be it!
It gets A strength scaling and the great axe moveset whilst being just an axe I love it myself.
Standard old Hand Axe wrecks fools pretty competently, that's all the info I have though

Speaking of Axes, I PVP'd against a guy called Axe the other day. Looked just like Axe from Dota 2. Should have taken a screenshot.

This souls memory thing is duuuuuuuuuuumb. I like to farm and spam my summoning sign on bosses.
My friend doesn't. So I end up getting shit tons more soul memory than him.
Now he can't summon me any more even though we're really close in levels.
Also this durability shit is just annoying, especially since repair power is so rare, I feel like I'm being punished just because I enjoy scimitars.

Yeah, hopefully From actually patches the stupid 60FPS durability bug.
Souls GAF, the fuck is wrong with her? I keep giving her shit to dress with, but everytime i'm back at Majula she just got undressed again (minus the hat, that one she's keeping on).
Anyway beat

Tried my luck at the
Ancient Dragon
baiting the flame and running away
A lot of deaths though, 147.
Goddamn.
I'm guilty of rolling into the lava multiple times during my first encounters with that boss. It was my punishment for not observing my surroundings before locking onto him. The funny thing is even when I decided to hang back, he used that beam attack to knock me into the lava.
Fun boss. It's funny co-oping for it and seeing hosts make the same mistakes.
You need to give her a whole outfit at once no picking and choosing of pieces.

Hey it's not like i was playing dress up, just dumping what i wasn't using.
So wait, she needs a complete set, basically?

Maybe she's trying to look more like Fiora?
(Same voice actress.)
Yup, had to stop locking on altogether during that fight to stop getting in the lava by mistake.
That reminds me to give her the aurous set in NG+.

bitch I'm taking calls.
This is amazing. ((Seed of Giants trolling video, only spoilers are Iron Keep & Aldia's monsters shown))
When playing dress up she needs a full set of components of your choosing.
Alright then!
I just found out that you can actually repair the Ring of Life and Protection... wut?

Do you get demoted for abandoning your covenant through the cat? I want to do the Dork magic questline.
No demotions or punishment for leaving a covenant.
Yep every time you die with it you get it fixed and you are off again.
There's no demotion or penalty for abandoning a covenant. And I too would like to experience this "Dork Magic" questline.
i was obviously being sarcastic because I hate comments like the one I quoted is all

Lol. The bastard even clones himself later on.
Costs 3k right? Basically any time you have more than that, there you go! heh. Better than losing it all.
Tough with only 4 ring slots though. I have a hard time choosing as it is.
Off topic, but I didn't want to make a new one. Instead of doing NG+ on Dark Souls 2, I'm trying Demons' Souls.
I'm definitely not enjoying it as much (partly because of the resolution/frame rate), but I will say one thing -- Dark Souls or Dark Souls 2 didn't give me anywhere near the feels that I got when I picked up the Storm Ruler sword in 4-4.
My God.

That's exactly what the video does.
Great moment. Good farming spot too.
I wasn't aware until now that illusory walls changed to where you have to press X/A and no longer hit them. I thought people were just putting messages to mess around.
most of them are which annoys me
I wish you could downvote messages away.
So, what is the most painless (or should I say least painful?) way to get more Twinkling Titanite?
In any case, it's pretty unfair that stupid melee dudes get to upgrade their weapons with a different material, while casters have to use the same one for staves/chimes and armor.

After playing through the first time not reading messages I'm enjoying finding loads of stuff I never found, like using a different button to reveal illusory walls. They are all over the place. I saw the message graphic near all these walls the first time through but after hitting and rolling into those spots I figured they were trolls(granted some of them are).
I loved finding out you can drain the poison water in Earthen Peak, kind of a weird way to do it though. Fighting that boss in poison was a real pain the first time. I still don't get what the point is of being able to raise those vats of poison, never saw any messages about those.
I almost beat Smeltor the first time I met him, then of course lost to him a bunch of times after that until I started using a high fire defence shield I got in Doors of Pharros I think it was. That was a big help, I laughed at his flaming sword after that.
Going from a strength build to a caster has been nice and different, so far spells don't seem as powerful as in DS1. Some enemies hardly take any damage from sorc spells, early on I had to replay levels over and over because I ran out of casts. But there is a balance to it, some enemies are easier. Those exploding mummys in Bastille were a huge hassle for my strength based guy since I had to go right up to them and slowly slam down my club. But my caster can quickly fire off a soul arrow from distance and take them out, heck even my dagger takes them out since they don't have much health.

The Pursuer seems to be the new Kirk, I saw him for the third time after beating Smelter.

ascetic Dragon Aerie, commence baby killing
(I'm not sure if the crystal lizards are actually dragon babies, but the wyverns certainly don't seem to mind their presence)

Probably some sort of Bonfire Ascetic farming spot is the fastest way.
I believe (not 100% certain) that the Giant's Bonfire 4 (beyond the door) has some hanging on a corpse.
Or you could be a true hero and hunt down all of the bugs. Some of those are bound to have twinkling titanite!
all spoilers in this post are endgame areas:
Either farm
Memory of giants, outside the memory with the giant lord. You use bonfire ascetic, pick up the 3 twinkling titanite outside the memory, beat the boss and repeat. You get a bonfire ascetic during the boss fight so you won't run out.
dragon aerie, you get 6 or so twinkling titanite from a run. There's no boss here which makes for easy farm.
they drop from enemies in shrine of amana.
Just pick the one you think are the least painful. One of the first two should be the best, depending on what you prefer to kill.
I've been using seeds of the giant if I have one if I get invaded by blues. I don't want to lower my sin status (trying to get that wretch status). The couple of times I've had it used against me as an invader, I just black crystaled out.
Speaking of mobs in PVP though it's bullshit that you can't pass through enemies as an invader now. I've gotten stuck invading several times because an enemy is standing in front of me and he won't move.
It felt like some anime. 4 levels of being shot through the back whilst running round cliffs. 50 arrows spent at the start trying to hit them. Decide to make a break for it to explore before I finally die, and then I pick it up.
There should have been a rocking background music change once you did. You know, like this.
Lol, melee dudes have it way tougher in this game than casters for various reasons. Plus lots of chimes/staff upgrade with normal titanite and weapons / armor with twinkling.

So, was curious about this. I remember in a preview FromSoft mentioned you could fight bosses before you get to their arena, but so far it has only happened once.
Not looking for explicit details, but is the one time the only time there is?

I dont understand that, the latest patch says you regain *some* of your humanity, but I've been at 50% health cap and gone full human from helping out with a boss. Odd.
Nope there is a boss before her area latter in the game on the new game +.
It happens once in NG+
