You should definitely be actively trying to kill the boss, since you don't want to just mess around and have the host die and need to use another effigy, but I also think it's poor form to just nuke the boss in 5 seconds with powerful spells or whatnot without the host having done anything.
They should ideally try to gain at least some satisfaction from the encounter, though it can be a tricky thing to balance right.

Right. I need more stamina and more cast speed. Thanks.
The durability of weapons in this game is stupid.
Avoid hitting walls and the ground too often. There is a ring that decreases the degradation of weapon durability, so if it is really an issue, you might want to make it a part of your ring equip.

It is a pain. I think the weapon breaks faster if you hit walls.

As a full melee build, I had my weapon break maybe once or twice over the entire game.
Yeah, I know, I usually let them do the last strike :| The problem is that it's not always an easy thing to manage the risk, a boss usually can kill you very fast if you make a mistake; but yes, you are totally right.

People called Romanes they go the house?
There's a ring
Bracing Knuckle Ring, in Lost Bastille, after the sentries in a hidden room
Usually, when the weapon gets low, unless you're whacking walls, a bonfire should be coming up soonish.

Yeah he's optional.
"Try Jumping and then Try Plunging Attack"
Plunging attacks will cancel the roll after you land from a jump, very useful for avoiding rolling off of what you just tried to jump to.

In
there near the boss bit there is a pole with a wheel and a string going into the water...is that anything?
Also is there a shortcut to get to the ship? Only way I found was to go all the way around from up top?

It's optional for a

There is a shortcut, but not nearly as short as you think. It only cuts off maybe 1/3 of the path.

Because enemies don't respawn after X amount of times, does that mean you're fucked if you die before retrieving souls, since they're essentially gone forever?

Ah, sorry for spoiling a bit, thought you had gone that way already. Yeah, keep searching the

Been playing this tonight off a cyber-mate's Steam account. Had a +4 Bastard Sword by the time I got to the 'first' boss (or second, I suppose, I had took out

Sucka had no chance
Have they changed weapon durability from the console version? I've put nearly 80 hours into the PS3 version and never had a weapon break. Twice in the FoFG I've had weapons break in the PC version :|

Thought you could for the boss.
Oh well
I opened every Pharro's contraption in my Doors of Pharros. It's pretty fun to watch everyone traverse the gauntlet

96 so that's not really what the issue is

Don't worry about losing souls, unless we're talking 50k+ (depending on where you are in the game of course). The game gives you more than enough over the course of the game.

You think that's annoying? Just you wait... Except I think From already nerfed it. PC folk won't know the suffering.

Don't worry about it, you can get there through normal progression later.
EDIT:
You can also try this, but it's unintentional and basically a sequence breaking/speedrun technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsVQ1SGYBgI

What areas are available to you? At 96 you are strong enough to kill
all 4 Old Ones and their respective areas
That's a super-late game area that only speedrunners attempt to get to before you are supposed to.
The invaders are part of a Covenant to protect the bell tower, so they are essentially on the side of the enemies. It's an area designed to make you rage and scream.

Tried out the ENB posted here. Visually it makes the lighting look a lot closer to the old build. I went down the infamous hallway area and without a torch I couldn't see 2 feet in front of me.
But the DOF blurring out everything in front of you is hideous

Ouch.
A gravestone should pop up in that location the next time you hit up a bonfire, so you should still be able to talk to them and buy stuff from them if they're a merchant, but it will cost you souls every time you activate them. Not sure how it works if it's an NPC that would typically move to another location.

Summoning and being invaded works about 1000000000% better than GFWL Souls.
Despite putting like 75+ hours into the first game, it feels like I'm actually finally playing Dark Souls for the first time. Bro-op is so fun; was helping bros with the Wharf and the first part of Iron Keep today. What a great boss.

Yep, but you can get tons of souls through co-op easily. However, you can also burn an item to respawn the area at the next NG+ difficulty (and this apparently affects area bosses, so I wouldn't do it just to grind at a low level).
I'm pretty sure I got over 200K souls (maybe even over 300) last night from co-oping 30-odd times. I mean, it's just nuts how quickly you can get souls from co-op.

No kidding. Every single co-op session yielded at least 10k with few exceptions. Suppose it depends on the area though. Do those "more souls from enemy" rings stack?
It's to push you to use the ascetic thing I guess.

I wish there was a way to not get any souls so I didn't have to worry about the Soul Memory.
Rings don't stack with upgraded versions but if you have an item that gives bonus souls it will stack with the ring.
