Its AGI. You prob want to level that up, it is tied to ADP. The more Agi you have, the more iFrame and faster item usage as well. Such as drinking from your flask.

If you want to know
there are 5, but you can do it with 4 or even 3 if you try enough
- 3 in each one of the giants memories
- 1 after defeating 2 giants in a hidden area of black gulch
- 1 for killing the ancient dragon

Lvl 61 primary leveling end, dex, adp, and vgr, started putting a bit into strength so I can wear better armor. Beaten 6 bosses so far, though I'm not sure if I'm playing in the right order.

You just have to run for it. I popped a large lifegem and a Brightbug and made it across fine.

I would recommend getting it higher if everything else seems good. That will give you better iframes so you can dodge and use items faster.

I'll probably give it a try tomorrow, trying to juggle studying for finals and dark souls

Do stamina regen items not stack?

Oh they nerfed him? I thought the radius on his flame breath seemed small. I one shotted him as well but used the ring that reduced damage taken from behind.

Making my way through no mans worf for the first time. Gotta admit, I'm not enjoying this section.

Namco managed to make the upgrade a worse deal if you had already given them a bunch of money for the game. Well played guys, really.
If I were you, I would probably just go play through DS2 and the DLC since you already own them.
I agree with this.
Then, if you want to start a new character or a replay down the line, try to get a good price during a holiday sale.
Consensus is basically its a good deal for people who didn't get any of the dlc, pretty shitty deal if you did buy all of the dlc like you did. I would just play dark souls 2 vanilla with the dlc if I were you. There haven't been that many changes as far as I can tell that would make it worth buying at $20. Either that or wait for a sale. Summer sale should be coming up soon away.
Yes they stack. I usually use cholranty ring +2 and green blossoms and keep my equip load low. There are shields you can use like the blossom kite shield that regen your stamina as well. Just keep in mind that equip load effects how fast your stamina regens.

I just cleared the first dark covenant dungeon. Are the other two harder or are they about the same in difficulty?

The second one is stupid easy.
Thanks.
I'm using chloryanthy ring and shield of the insolent.

Awesome, thanks for the advice. That is what I am going to do then.

Do I need to have played the first Dark souls to get into DS2?
Is there any plans for a PS4 port of the first game?

So I'm curious how many people are planning on using the agape ring to stop their soul memory? I'm sitting at SL 210 and SM 5.4 Mil and wondering if I should go ahead and equip it at the next tier barrier or just level to top tier. As far as I can tell there's not really a new established meta at the moment.
They're about the same. Recommend doing the one in Drangelic castle last because it's closest to a bonfire.

If it makes you feel any better I had no idea about it either until you mentioned it! I didn't even recognize there were bars there.

Alright, so.... After not really digging this game initially (coming off Bloodborne), 60 hours in, I can confidently say this game is great. Better to me than Dark Souls 1, even. It's just so different. Already realize I'm gonna finish it and start NG+ immediately. Glad I gave this game a second chance.
That's what I did.
I rescued him, talked to him, teleported to Majula and back, checked the cell and he was gone. But his sign was not at the shortcut. I must have ran through those caves twenty times to find him The only thing I saw at the shortcut gate was a player message saying "lever!". Very strange. In the end, I decided to kill the boss on my own. Was very easy anyway. I just hope not summoning him doesn't break any questline or whatever.

Not yet. Soon, hopefully.
No, you'll be fine starting with DS2. Played Bloodborne yet?

Wow the dlc is much harder for me. Finally battled my way to the final boss of sunken king and I'm fast running out of effigies. Is there anywhere you can buy/farm them in the main game? I've already bought the 3 of the old hag and got the ones from killing the women in things betwixt.
Not sure what to do after the dlc is done.
Options are:
Carry on with BB playthrough (left it at rom to start DSII)
Or install DS on pc and play through that?

Why would you do that?!
You can buy more from Grave Warden Agdayne or return human by simply visiting that statue in Shrine of Amana that's reached by going up the stairs after the boss.

Yes, talking about the PS4/Xbone/DX11 standalone new version.
The PS3/360 last gen versions with the free update = balance patch and the new end game boss only. All the other additions are current gen only.

I've finished the main game so have no need for them anymore. Wasn't aware of that statue to be honest.
I guess I feel that the ability to change your specs with a Soul Vessel more beneficial than a human effigy.

Oh without a doubt it is. I've respecced twice in my main playthrough. I'm at the end of the dlc now so this will be it for me unless I decide to do ng+ but that will probably be after I playthrough dark souls and BB.
You can respec without her.

Bloody PS3 controler on my laptop keeps disconnecting and being a pain in the ass. Some days I boot up, 1 light on ready to go and its all good all day.
Othertimes like today at first it does not connect,then its just 4 flashing lights, then blank then maybe it will work for abit the disconnect mid-fight.
Spent 40mins trying to run the path to the chariot to then get whacked by the phantom, now i cheesed him with poison arrows I cant go back to fight the boss cos the damn controller wont work.

Oh, I thought she was needed. How do you do it without her?

Really enjoyed the battle against AD.
I knew what to expect and I saw the area with lots of passive dudes (which I suspect are going mad once you start), so I was bent on one shotting him which I did. I could survive one blast so there wasn't much to worry about. I wasn't too greedy, and whenever he flapped I booked it. Actually liked it.
I feel he is nerfed though I haven't played vanilla, but the radius wasn't obscenely big.

She is needed, but her gravestone will show up outside the hut after you rest and you can pay her ghost to respec.
Oh yeah. I forgot that you can resummon some of the NPC you kill.

The old fight the ground blast one shotted you at most levels of fire resistance. I think one strategy was using the gyrm greatshield to tank through it. Gower's ring is how I beat it with bracing knuckle ring.
The radius wasn't a huge deal but sometimes the dragon would change where he shot the flames, it was weird and erratic. You could be doing fine the whole fight then the next time he spit his flame breath it would be right ontop of you instead of below him. Also the run to the dragon was annoying as hell, there weren't as many of those yellow knights, but there was like 6 of them up the stairs that attacked you, a long with two giant guys.
I can't say I'm nostalgic for the fight. It wasn't ever complex but just one of those fights if you mess up once you were dead and it was a 3 minute run through back where you might die. I don't mind challenging bosses but when they pair it with tedious clears, that's the worst.

This game is my new Diablo 3. Something I'll be going back to off and on throughout the next few months or more.

I thought sunken King DLC was the best of the three. Iron King was close second though.
Never understood the fume knight difficulty complaints though. Beat him on my second try.
Burnt Ivory King however....

Jesus christ, just beat the Sunken Crown boss,
Is the rest of the DLC this good? I mean that was one of the best boss battles I played in the franchise.
Really, SotfS on Ps4 might sway my opinion and place this above Bloodborne. No problem summoning, shitload of weapons and builds to tinker with... Can't wait for BB DLC though, if Artorias and the Crowns are any indication I can kiss my social life goodbye.

Seeing as I killed the birdwoman weapons trader by accident and before she moves.. should I just feed all my boss souls to straid for his weapons and worry about the rest on NG+?
Been using the spear you have to break today, bit of a beast but takes some getting used to over a small hammer and Im pretty sure ive not fully grasped the move set et either but there we go.

I think Sunken King has my favorite areas in the entire Souls series. Exploring that place felt like an adventure like no other. Visually incredible and chocked full of fun things to explore. That
moment when you arrive and first see the tower- like structures and connecting bridges from a distance and know that you will be exploring that complex took my breath away.
