Good luck getting past him if you don't. There are some other unpleasant surprises waiting if you try that too.

but, it's like the damn ghost ship boss only I can't run for shit in the water.
I guess I'll figure something out but damn, just when you think the game is easing up on you it does something like this

All you can really do is crtl+f4. however, that can result in a softban if you do it too often, so be cautious about that. You can do that or wear a ring of life protection and just let him kill you, keep your souls & human form but all monsters respawn. I'm not sure how many times you have to disconnect form an invasion to be softbanned, but one time should be fine. You can slo try running your ass off to the boss fog lol.
I loved the Darklurker fight, Darklurker is the only fight in which
I don't mind having a two vs one. They did it really well. I know it's too late for this, but Darklurker is incredibly weak to lightning. This is me fighting Darklurker on NG+: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLvG1cgfhGE video might be a bit choppy because it was with my old rig set-up
That was a big surprise for me I was like "what in the shit are you doing here?!" yeah don't try to run past him, that will end in sadness and tears, at least, it did for me.
You're given yourself a harder time throwing yourself at walls.
The game is very non-linear, but you're brute forcing one path first.

Were you a mage-type at all (like a hexer respecing to sorcery)? If not, that sounds cheap. You failed to git gud.

Since you're so pissed, if you're on PS4 at around 5 million Soul Memory, I'll give you 30 effigies if you can summon me. Thanks for posting vids. PM about effigies, I'm feeling nice today.

To be fair if a boss has a high resistance to what your build is, it's kinda unfair for you
. I cheesed him as a cleric, but also fought him as a melee character. btw if you have DaS 3 for PC it's available for pre-load now
Edit: GODDAMN IT! FUCK MY LIFE! So I saw a spoiler for DaS3 because some asshat made a video with said spoiler in the title.
I am extremely pissed at From for this shit move they did with DaS 3 where they released it for Japan early, allowed users in NA to download it, and even gave some people the English copy in an attempt to boost sales up and increase hype.

There's always a way. Brightbugs, for one thing. I defeated him with a hexer and he's highly resistant to dark, my GRS did little compared to that Soul Spear and somehow I managed. It's quite the hectic and frantic fight, running around dodging beams and shit, but it's far more exhilarating than "pew pew pew, dead, done". IMO.

I don't think I've ever used a brightbug or done hexer...I've done cleric, sorcerer, melee, power-stanced & hybrid of cleric melee.

oh im not brute forcing anything, i was just asking about this particular thing.
the reason i ask is that i've heard that there were changes made to DS2 in this version and i want to know if this was always this crazy or if it's only this crazy in the SOTFS version.
But i guess i now know that I thought i knew already, which is try to make progress elsewhere. Wonder where i should look now.
I think Darklurker's weak to everything non-physical
that isn't Dark obviously

No, I respecced from having 30 Int/30 Faith/ 25 Str/ 20 Dex or something similar to that. I ended up taking a huge chunk of points away from Vit and gave up on the idea of ever using Vengarl's set again despite it being awesome.
Thanks but that's not necessary, I still have 50+ just from the NPC invasions, and to be honest Dark Chasm gave me an actual reason to use the effigies because I was hoarding them at that point. It was just the tedium of dying to the Havel phantom/Darklurker, having to go through Grandahl's dialogue and offering an effigy multiple times that annoyed me.
That part is one hard enemy replacing two hard enemies of a different kind, which you will fight later.
What Covenant are you in? You're not accidentally Company of Champions, are you?

I actually found running away to be the right choice.
Sprint past his door and he should be coming out as you run past. Roll under that opening attack, and keep an eye out to the right. There's a staircause up which neither he, nor any of his friends will follow you up. Though there will be one of the lesser exploding zombies in the way.
Yeah, wasn't about to risk it. Especially as they had invaded me like 5 times already. They actually pursued me, following me from Tower Apart to Sinner's Rise. She actually made the aforementioned hallway MORE interesting.
Anyways, after moving on to NG+ last night I'm about eight bosses in. Hopefully I can finish up the Lucatiel and Benhart quests, and get my last few sorceries, hexes, pyromancies and miracles before tuesday
without too much compromising my studying for finals.

Ya, I talked to him. He doesnt like me
Ah, you need a token of fidelity. Do one coop session (as a phantom, not a shade) or, I think you can find one as loot somewhere but I forgot where.
It's the item in Huntsman's Copse where you have to run off the ledge and land on that bullshit ass raised rock without rolling. Way easier to drop a soap stone.

Funny story, I kept jumping from the ledge above the bonfire and got it after like 15 tries, I later realized you can drop form the bridge. good times...

Did they change the pursuer battle in SotFS?
I see a lot of videos of the original DS2 where people use the balista to beat him, and the balista takes out almost all of his hp. But when i hit him with the balista,it only takes a quarter of his life.

They may have nerfed the ballista damage since it was pretty op.
I remember one fight after we killed the Pursuer the host killed me with the ballista </3
I remember that you can kill both the host and pursuer quick enough back then that only you got souls out of it.

Hooray! Just beat (my last boss)Sir Alonne! Had banged my head against him earlier for 2 hours barely getting him down to 3/4 his health.
Now I decide to try him again and it only took a few tries lightweight and two-handed. Felt surprisingly easy too.
Never made such weird noises of elation before.
Having played 200 hours of the vanilla PS3 version 2 years ago I only meant to get through to the dlc areas as quick as possible before Dks3 releases, but somehow ended up playing it for a 100 hours.
Such a great game! Gonna be weird jumping back in again on tuesday.

Been playing this after finishing Dark Souls III once (NG) on PS4 and I gotta say, my opinion that this is a damn good game hasn't changed at all.
Still only up to the Earthen Peak area, but DS2 definitely has some elements that are my favorite in the series.

So it's just the damage output of the weapons equipped actually, now I understand.
I indeed had 3 of them when I took the screen. Sad this journey is over, glad the next one is right around the corner.
Oh for fucks sake... the smelter demon is totally destroying me. After traying all tips people tried on internet I still can't defeat it.
And I think I already locked myself from co-op, I helped waaaaay too much people and now my soul memory is level 30.
Would anyone be able to do so co-op with me to defeat this thing? PS4, btw.

If you summon another player do you get less souls as a host? Otherwise, why would someone be such a dickanus

Sir Alonne and Fume are honestly the greatest fights. Super difficult but soooooo rewardingly great. I have like 305 hours in Vanilla and 100 hours in SotFS(about 50% was doing co-op though
).I have DaS 3 pre-loaded and I can't wait til Monday :3
There's another way to get those miracles
NG++ you can buy them off a guy in dranglegic castle
Smelter is pretty easy tbh. I just attacked him when he would do his somersault sword into the ground and explode attack, he has a nice window of opportunity then. Also pretty sure there are NPCs you can summon.
I would help, but I'm on PC sorry mate.

List your soul memory when asking for help.

He said 30 so according to this site his is between 1,500,000 - 1,749,999
Using Name-engraved ring widens the summon range btw

Hmm, didn't see that. Usually people list raw numbers instead of level.

Guys, I think I might have co-oped a tad much...what do you think?
Tarkus

A bit yes. Kinda like my constant 99 Human Effigies.
No maxed token of fidelity or have you used them for healing?
DarkHeartedKill
Member
Lol I have 36 Effigies on my person I hardly ever summon help and I would also using Ring of Binding so I never needed to use Effigies.
I'm about to fight the two tigers solo wish me luck. If I honestly can't beat them on NG while being like lvl 256 I should uninstall
I used maybe 3 or 4 for healing the host. I like being a Sunbro more, but I might do to Token of Fidelity, I was getting summoned into NG++ fights because of how hi my SM was
Edit: Okay, so made it through the path to the Tigers using only 6 Lifegems(one was to top off after putting my lifegem back on.) Time to fight the tigers
Goddammit. I died because Lud survived with a literal pixel of health and I got ravaged from front and back...
Morrigan Stark

Good luck. They're still a pain. Use a brightbug if you struggle. Trust me.
Taking out the first tiger quickly makes a huge difference.DarkHeartedKill

Does armour do much at all for that fight? Or should I try to focus on having more stamina regen?
Tarkus

Carry two weapons because they kill your durability. Armor is good, stamina is better. I can help if you're struggling.

I FINALLY did it, and with the second lion in rage mode no less. That is one of the worst fights ever, now I just gotta level up in bell covenant and I can NG+ this
. Thanks for the offer though Morrigan Stark

Omg the NeoGAF ads of Dark Souls 3 D: Google Ads pls...
Anyone that is interested GmG is going 20% off the base game of DaS 3 and 17% off the Ultimate edition which comes with the sound track and season pass
