Why do I sometimes get the option to nullify the human effigy effect if I never burned one to begin with?
You get it for free for beating a boss.

Didn't know that, thanks.
When was that patched in? I know it wasn't in the original release.
I'm not complaining about the changes, but I had no idea that was what was triggering the freebie.

I wish from software would gain the lord of the rings license.
can you imagine? the art style and gameplay they make would be perfect.

Just beat the game tonight. It was great. Coming off of Bloodborne, I loved the sheer amount of customization, online being way less of a headache, as well as playing a completely different build/style compared to the former. I beat all the optional bosses in the main game, but I haven't done the DLC yet, which I hear has great level design. I think I might take a couple days off then go do that. I'm really looking forward to Dark Souls 3, which must be in development!

That's too bad, I will never play souls games on last gen hardware again(except demons) and no way would I buy a ps4 for a remastered demons souls alone. Welllllll maybe I would. Honestly if you are a souls fan PC is almost a must have. Even the ps4 doesn't have the awesome modding community.
Are you talking about the ps4/one versions? Basicalling I'm wonder how much the free update does I guess.

Judging from the horrid framerate and load times(now apparently patched) it should be. I try not to snark, and I do have the game on ps4 but just like the other games I long for my PC version. Ah well.But bloodborne is not on pc
Looking at the chart in the OP, yes you're correct. The new enemy placements aren't in the PS3 or 360 versions.
Here's everything in the patch: http://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Patch+1.10

If you're in way of blue there's a chance that if you're invaded a dude from blue sentinels will come to assist you. So then if you're in blue sentinels you might get sent into a way of blue guys world to help him defeat an invader.

this reminds me. in the very beginning of dlc 2, i saw a message stating: try attacking and then death! i i just stood there and did nothing for a few sec. then controls died and i couldn't do anything. my character died on the spot for no reason and flew into the sky. i got a good look from up there but yea, that was weird and funny
I'm seriously having issues finding other players to summon. I know all about soul memory and there is no way that I am that far ahead of other people in the same areas as I'm playing the game the same way I did on ps3, and I never once had an issue finding summoning symbols in that version of the game. Is anyone else having this issue? Are people just not putting their summon signs down? I get summoned almost immediately when I put mine down.. And I actually noticed that I had gotten summoned by the same person three times in a row last night.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Ahhh, Miyasaki's dark souls swan song!
Though I really liked DS2, so we'll see if that 'touch' really does make it noticably, apocolyptically better.
I'm excited.

Bought this today.
I was going to buy bloodborne however reading a few threads it was suggested it's worth having experience of dark souls first.
Looks like I better get used to being bitch slapped of mobs then!

Even after seven character playthroughs of DS2 I am still amazed at things I missed.
-being able to see the durability level of my weapons from the red bar next to it's picture.
-being able to tell if I can coop in a particular zone based on the area picture glowing orange on the warp screen.
-hitting face trees in shaded woods fog zone creates distractions (I think) for the invisible guys.
And finally discovering the joys of dual wielding vs my usual shielded play style. Darting around as a Dex/Int build is damn fun. I can't help but think that Bloodbourne pushed me in this direction. I seem much more aggressive on this playthrough than ever before.

How on earth did you miss this on the 6 previous playthroughs?
Honestly I'd rather their time spent on their own IP's rather than being tethered to someone else's IP.

Damn! Just purchased this game today, I have cleared FoFG and first boss in Tower of Flame and... damn. After being so used to a completely overpowered character in vanilla DS2, playing a new character and on champions covenant (I'm using it for first time) feels brutal.
I'm really enjoying this, the new enemy placements makes this game feel like a completely new experience.

Because it's a tiny little bar that blended in with the UI and weapon image for me. I never ran into durability issues on my pre-SotFS playthroughs so I was never concerned with my durability anyway. Oh well, I was happy to find it being there but apparently it's common knowledge so whatever.

Having fun with the game, but when is the ETA for the new patch?

Beat the main game. Trying the DLC which seems disproportionately harder. Also what's up with king V taking damn near no damage?

Had you played a Souls game before Bloodborne?
I played DaS through to maybe the top of Sen's Fortress, and am now working through Bloodborne (which I'll actually finish) and already eyeing DS2 but worried I'll be kind of disappointed. How does it feel after playing through BB? Are you enjoying it?
He is at the short cut door in the caves.
I am sure it's been asked 100 times in this thread but it's hard to find with how may pages there are.
For PC users what's the general consensus on if it's worth upgrading for $20? I have not beaten Dark Souls 2 yet or any of the DLC but do own it. I don't really do PVP so I don't care about the multiplayer enhancements. As of now, it seems like it's not really worth it for what seems like minor graphic enhancements but it's really hard to tell. Is that the case?

you need more
It's
just beyond the door you need to open to open up the shortcut from the cell where you meet Creighton to the boss fog. From the fog door leading to the Skeleton Lords go into the cave behind the waterfall, kill the necromancer and skeletons inside, and you should see Creighton's summoning sign near the lever you pull to open the shortcut gate.
You also need to have spoken to Creighton after rescuing him and either died or rested at a bonfire so that he disappears from the cell. If you've done all that you should be able to find his sign. He and the other NPC you can summon can pretty much handle the

Man whoever designed frigid wastes needs to be taken outback and fired. I don't feel any need to do the zone after seeing the boss is another rehash. Like literally who thought this would be fun? I think I ran along the wall for 5 minutes then fell off a cliff because I can't see shit.
The dlc is good but there's like 2 new bosses + 1 rehash there for a challenge. You don't really lose much out on skipping them. The final boss was visually pleasing for ivory king. I hope to see more stuff like the DLC in Dark Souls 3 without
edit: Frigid outskirts*.

Iron Passage -> Blue Smelter Demon, Needless clearing to alonne and Frigid Wastes -> King's pets.
edit: Frigid outskirts*.
I love the Outskirts; it's one of my favorite zones to throw my sign down for co-op in.
Don't hug the wall. Whenever the blizzard clears look around for the nearest visible structure. You only get attacked when the snow is blowing and you're outside the safety of a building. Start running towards the nearest building when the blizzard clears, then just keep on truckin' when it resumes. If you get attacked and lose your sense of direction you can look at your footprints to figure out what direction you were traveling in, or you can just wait for the visibility to improve again before resuming your trek. The second shelter area also has a healing spring you can unlock with a lockstone to top off the HP of yourself and any player or NPC phantoms you brought along.
Doing that will get you to the boss much faster and with fewer fights. Following the wall takes much longer and you run the risk of blindly stumbling into a crevasse.
The place does seem to have been made with co-op in mind, much like the other optional areas in the DLCs. Even if there aren't any friendly folks looking to help you out the game does provide you with 3 NPC volunteers to bring along, who are generally pretty competent at dealing with the enemies along the route to the boss but who sometimes get stranded out in the middle of nowhere until you saunter back and rescue them.

whats your adp and agility ?
Agp is 9 and I don't see anything for agility.
Question about Frigid Outskirts - how many times do I have to kill the blizzard enemies for them to stop spawning?
12 or more? Do all of them count as 1 enemy? :/

Shoot it with arrows from the lower platform.
Kill the spear knight, then when at the top of the stairs sprint towards the dragon. You'll make it before he breathes fire. Make sure not to wake him before.
