Thanks for the quick replies. Its been awhile since I've played the game.
A handy thing I've learned to do when you run out of estus/heals; instead of going to a bonfire, throw down your summon sign and help someone. You'll be put back where you were with full estus etc and the enemies won't have respawned.
Just thought I'd share. It may help someone that didn't know about it.

PSA for those that might have missed these 2 estus flask shards like I did.
there is one behind the statue in the tutorial area, and there is another behind another statue on the way to no mans wharf, right before you enter the cave there was a statue blocking a door with one of those bug eyed frogs in front. you will need 2 fragrant of yore for these of course, but theres plenty in the game (im just before the DLC and ive cleared every statue ive found soon or later)

For me, it has definitely been worth it. It looks even more gorgeous and plays wonderfully, and the revised enemy placements make it feel new again. Plenty of surprises in familiar locations.

That feeling when you run up the sword in forest of giants to get a shiny only to turn around and see the entire undead army running to destroy your ass.

Grabbing this from best buy later. Bloodborne is my first Souls game and I love it. Should finish up the main game today and then on to the chalice dungeons to see if I can get the platinum trophy.

Dark souls 2: fragrant branch of yore edition
Cheers, game is so big and the bonfire hopping made me forget some details.
Eh? Are you sure about that?
I thought the only things at affect difficulty are bonfire intensity and the covenant of champions?
She's in one of the houses in the wharf now.
Yeah I looked up the correct house, but she's not here.

Ok let me ask a question about the addition of
Aldia. Was his presence, boss fight, and new choice ending, all added with the first DLC?

Ah damn. Got my hopes up for a bit thinking it would pay off.
Oh well. I'll still get my satisfaction clubbing things to death. And stabbing. I got enough points in both stats that i can mix up my weapons and get good results as it is.

No, those were all added in the SotFS patch (1.10) that came out in early February.

Welp there it is then. I haven't tried since last time I posted here. Thanks a lot!
Fucking Dark Souls
I ran around the entirety of
, opened all the shortcuts, found the npc's, bought the Pharros' Lockstone and lit up all the map after cleaning it (could have been useful before I cleared it out a dozen times ;p)
Also ran around the area with the dead pirate that doesn't attack you because I thought he might summon the ship in some way
Turns out its just lever

Man the world of this game just seems so subpar after playing Bloodborne. Still having a great time, even the worst souls game is still one of the best games out there. Doing my first magic build. Currently no shield l-hand with a staff and r-hand with fire sword.

Yeah you really don't need to grind in this game at all. The bosses are already cake.

Its not that simple IMO. Depends on if you want something smaller and fast, or bigger and slow (but hits harder). Scaling in this game isnt that amazing so don't base everything on if its an A or S scale, like for example the Large Club is an S scale STR weapon, and the Giant Club is B or A I think, but the Giant club does more overall damage when upgraded fully because it has higher base stats. The Red Iron Twinblade is another weapon thats pretty cool, very fast and hits lots of times but has shorter range. Its best to experiment and find out what moveset you like. Moveset is VERY important. Oh also, the starter mace is REALLY good as a main or backup weapon. Its the mace that Clerics start with and I think they sell it at the Blacksmith in Majula.
Lol. You playing Bloodborne too, Brolic?
What level do you think its good to stop leveling at? I'm 48 and just got to the
(cleared the
and
)
I'm leveling STR as my main stat, what's the highest weapon requirement for that? I have a greatsword that requires 28 (currently sitting on 26)
Currently using club that I really like, are there any upgrades paths like DS or just straight up reinforcing? I got an ember but the blacksmith says he doesn't know how to use it
Is there another blacksmith?

I think the highest STR weapon req is 50. I'm level 133 at the end of the game. You can upgrade normal weapons from the blacksmith in Majula. The Blacksmith in The Lost Bastille requires the ember and he can infuse your weapon with certain magic or poison/bleed effects. You also have another couple blacksmiths to unlock which you can turn in Boss Souls to them and get special boss weapons.
cleared no mans wharf and heide on my mage, got my stuff from the hex dude at the start of huntsman copse, fun times. cant believe i started a new character after having already done the same on vanilla lol

Yeah I k ow I've played it before. It's a joke compared to DeS or DS1. I was just bored and didn't trust remote play to do anything more serious.
Thanks.
I feel good at this lvl so might stay at it or put points only into STR if there's a weapon that I really want to use or vit if there's need for more equip load

Lucatiel complete guide since there seems to be some confusion:
Lost Bastille - in the small tower directly across from the bonfire after the Pursuer battle and bird ride (same location as vanilla). Summon for Lost Sinner fight. Sign is directly behind the lift at the bottom.
No Man's Wharf - on the top floor of one of the houses early in the area (different location from vanilla). Summon for Flexile Sentry fight. Sign is on the docks close to the ship.
Black Gulch - in the earliest of the three secret areas you can find by dropping down over the edge, close to the first bonfire (same location as vanilla). Summon for The Rotten fight. Sign is right by the second bonfire.
Harvest Valley/Earthen Peak - in the small hidden room on the bottom floor of the three-story area just before you fight Covetous Demon (different location from vanilla). Summon for Smelter Demon fight. Sign is right outside the fog gate.
In order to get her equipment (and the related achievement/trophy), you must do two things:
1. Talk to her and exhaust all of her dialogue in all 4 of the above locations, until she starts repeating the same lines.
2. Summon her and keep her alive for at least 3 of the 4 boss fights listed above. She must survive at least 3 of these fights through their completion.
Final location:
Aldia's Keep - in the small wooden hut with the bonfire as soon as you enter the area. If the above 2 requirements are met, she will give you her equipment after talking to her a couple of times. Either way, she will disappear after talking to her here, never to be seen again in your current NG level.

Pretty sure her summon sign in that zone has moved since vanilla.
On the docks closer to the ship
Picked this up and made a start on it. The new enemy positions are fun. Surprise turtle guys!
Except I goofed already and ended up fighting near a chest I couldn't see in the dark (should've been smart and closed the blinds before playing). Early in FOFG, what was in the chest in that room with all the ballistas?

Kinda confused now. Think I'm about halfway through at the moment having lit 2 primal bonfires at sinners rise and the iron keep. Currently taking on the boss in the shaded woods, seems optional. So which way to the next two primals? When can I get at the dlc? I found an entrance but no key.
Also there seems to be trophies tied to npc quests? I found one so far so I'm guessing there's more.

I can't believe it. I just beat the darklurker with my pure str build on the second try
I remember doing that and I also had a strength build,the guy was a massive pain in the ass
