It has more because it's essentially the third game in the series. I'm sure Bloodborne 3 should it happen will also have way more _everything_ than BB1.

Started a Deprived character last night and currently farming for the Desert Sorceress outfit. I already have the top and gloves. Just to be certain: I can still receive equipment drops while in the Company of Champions covenant, right?

Thanks. I guess I just got fairly lucky with the pieces that have dropped for me so far since nothing of value has dropped in 20 or so minutes.
this is a doable boss solo...just try to punish his recovery animation of his swings. There is also an
NPC
summon sign is near the pilars on the left just before the boss door.
You can parry him, too :3
The way they changed
must be one of the coolest additions in this version,they turned a beautiful but boring area into something much more interesting.
I wish the entire game had more of this type of changes,not just "hey we put this enemy here instead of there".
I was like this after killing one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsqJFIJ5lLs

Proving yourself to the dragon knights and the ancient dragon by killing the drakekeepers was fucking awesome.
I agree, thats one of the few changes that makes an area more epic. Definitely easier, but its kind of an uneasy feeling seeing them lined up and bowing.
Poison arrows make the Dark Chasm's cakewalk. You can 1v1 every single fight with some creative pulling. The only one that gave me serious trouble was the first double hammer bro at the start of the Black Gulch Chasm.
I used the Shaded Woods Chasm for my Darklurker attempts. A long bonfire run than Drangleic Castle Chasm, but the Chasm itself is much easier/faster.
Yeah sorry, it's just the Elite Knight Armor you can get from the Majula armorer from the beginning just by spending a certain number of souls with him. Didn't see your reply but you probably got it by now.
But hey it goes nicely with the Throne Watcher Leggings (late game armor available from the same dude). Also accessorizes quite well with the flamberge. Okay I'll stop posting glam shots now.

Ha ha ha, finally Fume Knight is down, good riddance you bastard.
On my successful run I even kept him from entering his powered up phase.

I actually dreamed that I was playing Dark Souls 2, and I was doing coop. And then I got killed, but the other players could loot my corpse and then the character was deleted so I had to start over.
Now that would be an interesting feature.

. I've just fought a G
miniboss and there is a closed door, and both paths just seem to circle me around the bonfire, any advice?

There is a golem on the loop, kill something near it to activate an elevator.

Well, still hanging around on my 1st playthrough. Lvl 200 and hanging around Brume Tower helping people out with the fume knight. Helped 22 peeps beat that boss so far. Think I need 8 more boss kills to earn the top rank for the sunbro covenant. Bunch of magic users seem to have a TON of trouble fighting him I've noticed.

So this is probably a dumb question, but how do I access the DLC? Do I need to find the items or pass a certain point in the story?
Platinum Get.
Was definitely harder than vanilla, but mostly because you have to do some of the DLC's for the Plat, and some bosses in there are rough.
Loved it, though. I have a hard time ranking the Souls games and BB, though. they are all soo close in quality and enjoyment on my list, I think I'd put them all equal now.

hey guys, kinda lost right now. I just finish the Iron Keep, I cant open the door after I get teleported (DLC?) where should I go next?
Go back to Majula, there should be a guy selling
ladders near the pit,
Or go through Heide's Tower an
d No Mans Wharf.
After clearing the tower, you can go back to Majula and get
a lady to move the tunnel
to another place
The aggro in this game is crazy. I used the patented sprint pass enemies strat at certain times in Bloodborne. That hasn't worked for me well in Dark Souls II, as a lot of enemies seem to follow me forever and know exactly where I have gone.
I also beat 3 more bosses last night
I also beat 3 more bosses last night
The Pursuer, Flexile Sentry, and Dragon Rider. I beat Dragon Rider 1st try, and the former 2 bosses on my 2nd try. I really should have had Flexile Sentry on my 1st try, but I was so absorbed in the fight and was being super cautious...Which led me to not notice that the water level was rising. Next time I was super aggressive and took him down very fast.
All 3 of these bosses were quite simple. Their attacks are slow and pretty well telegraphed. I'm expecting that will change before long.

Seed of Giants was made for this, save them for a pvp invader who likes to butthug npcs, pop it and laugh as they get ambushed and crushed. If they don't die to the npc, you can finish them off when they panic roll away.

Thanks, already finished Heide's Tower an
d No Mans Wharf.
Hitboxes are still weird with the Pursuer T_T and I have 106 agility.Yeah I know I didnt roll but I was clearly out of the way right?
What's supposed to be weird? You are in the middle of his swing, it's a clear hit?

You got hit by the sword in its animation. It just happens to go into a canned specific animation, but yes you clearly got hit by it.
iRAWRasaurus
Banned
gotcha, guess I miss that occurring.
I think that it's the animation that is weird. You get hit, but walk half-around him before the canned animation kicks in. If they snapped to the animation faster, instance you get hit, I believe people would not complains as much about the hitboxes. (atleast with the pursuer-fight)
Don't roll sideways for that, and really don't roll left, that's where the swing and grab is occurring from. Forward or right.

I read the claim that if you stay on him and keep doing damage regularly, he won't back up and charge his sword. I finally got his timing down and did that, never backing off, dodged under all his great sword swings. And he never went into phase II.
Like all boss behavior it could be erratic, but at least I got it to work.

Gotcha, yeah I guess that animation really threw me off alot :/ But I def see what you guys mean now when I rewatch and pause at certain spots. haha kinda feel like an idiot now
O well. Thanks for the tip
Yep, it's dlc

Got the platinum trophy yesterday. Once I have a PC that accepts the DX11 version, I'm also planning another full run. I've done it 3 times, why not go for 4?

Go here http://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/DLC And click on each DLC. It explains how to enter them. They're basically end game areas and require items from later parts of the game.
