Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
WHAT?!
Old King Allant might be one of the best bosses in the series, right next to Artorias. Go replay DeS, pronto!
I've used some "clever" and "cheap" tactics against bosses, but fogsniping is boring. The Maneaters in the Tower of Latria did tempt me to use it, though.
I actually meant Grym Greathammer. Not sure why I said axe. My favorite Axe is by far the Lion Greataxe.
How do I know if I got punished for disconnecting during an invasion? My goddamn computer crashed when I was invading someone else as a bell keeper, and now I can't seem to invade anyone. Or alternatively, nobody has invaded the bell tower in the last 10 minutes which I doubt
Okay so no, thank god. Bell keeping is too much fun.
Although Sol is a lot better than Luna, but it's still so damn far away
Not even close
how many giant souls do you have total?
What's the point of doing that if you can just use the bone? Limited uses?
I got summoned to Belfry Sol without ever having been there. Was confusing as fuck at first.
About as confusing as being summoned as a gray spirit.
Edit: When are we getting Skeleton Man - Drangleic Edition? Game has the perfect armour set for it.
Just the one.
You mean it's actually possible to have done others before Lost Sinner? Ever since I got to the Bastille and cleared No Man's Wharf I've assumed I was on a fairly linear path. I've explored a lot in this game and wasn't able to make progress anywhere else.
You missed some paths like down the pit and the other exit of the rotunda. Bastille is optional and can be done far later if you wish too.
At this point you aren't very far in.
Yep. Doing one of those areas before that one would even net you a key that really helps out during the Lost Sinner fight.
I'm not paying Licia 2000 souls. I don't trust her.
I just assumed at some point I'd get a thing that qualified as a "symbol of the king" which would let me open the two locked doors I've found so far. I also assumed I'd eventually find something that let me do something with that resting giant.
No souls are needed.
Well you can't open it unless you can kill her or pay her so make your choice. The symbol of the king and the other item are acquired far latter.

How many primal bonfires have you lit?
You only took off 10% of the skeleton lords lifebar with 2 people?
Damn man, get gud already.
Boy, you're not even close.

With 1 primal bonfire down, you are maybe 10-15%. Looks like you are on a 200 hour journey at your current rate.
Is there any sort of negative repercussions?
Haha, should have said exterminated
Anyway, anyone remember how much would be the average soul memory when you first arrive to Harvest Valley? I'm sitting at around 240k which I assume is fairly average, but I'm just not seeing almost any summoning signs at all. The crazy greatsword guy was the first in quite a while.
None at all.
You mean False King, right?WHAT?!

Crazy, I haven't even killed the boss you just beat and I can tell I've been to areas you haven't.
Dropped 100K souls, got ganked from behind on the retrieval run. I don't even know why I collected that much without spending, except to see how my character acts with a super stat boost. But I never expected the low level iron ninja to finish me. The only think I can wonder is why I never use those rings of sacrifice.
That sucks a lot.I love the ring of sacrifice. I throw it on any time I have over 10k souls and I have any doubt about returning to where I'm at. Better to return with 7k and not have to slog back through that crap.
Did I just take an alternative path through the game or something? And for reference I was expecting this to be a 60-hour game, which is pretty much exactly how long it took me to beat Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 each.
Other than the rotunda and risking a fall down The Pit, I haven't noticed any other paths to take than:
Majula -> Forest of Fallen Giants -> Lost Bastille -> Sinner's Rise -> Shaded Woods
Or
Majula -> Tower of Flame -> No Man's Wharf -> Lost Bastille -> Sinner's Rise -> Shaded Woods

The Pit in Majula is very legit to go through early. You can go through it to get to shaded woods without beating a single boss.
Otherwise you can go
Majula -> Tower of Flame -> Huntsman's copse, etc

Aldia's keep. If you let him out while human he'll sell you stuff, but then he'll start invading you. If you speak with him while in hollow form you can get assassination quests from him
whoa whoa whoa, now how do you do that
You have described the rightest way
Not there yet then. I'm in
The Cove
Also what's the best Boss weapon to use/get as a Shortsword/Longsword/"Crescent"-Falchion user?

After beating
Dragonrider
the place between Majula and Heide's Tower where you can open up the way to Huntasman's Copse for 2k.
This is also a great way to get shards early on because
the path to Iron Keep has Chloanne. Once you clear it, you can buy Large Shards from her.

I never went back there until I'd exhausted all other paths. That area was clearly meant to be tackled relatively early on
Just beat dragonrider, talk to Licia until she moves to majula, make her open the path to huntsman's copse. No fancy shortcut, sadly, but it's the fastest you can get there.
Well yeah, you mean Licia, who RedSwirl is just having stand by the mechanism uselessly. That's the only way to get to Huntsman's Copse I knew of, at least that early on.
I thought Leezard meant there was actually a path to Huntsman's Copse from Heide's.
Yeah, I get what you mean now. I cleared No Man's Wharf and much of the Lost Bastille before heading into Hunstman's Copse but on doing so I found that it seemed like it was really meant to be tackled quite early.
The other way is simply murdering Licia and doing it yourself.
