She's still in No Man's Wharf as well, they just moved her to one of the houses.
Don't get your hopes up too high. Some areas have fps that rarely maintain 60. And that's on the PS4.
Im new to this coming from BB. Enjoying what little I have played do far.
Thinking of starting again though, does anyone have any tips for very beginning of game. Are there any items or weapons I should look for in first area?
What is a good class for a noob?
Also where should I go at first? I went down to where the dragon guy is at first but then found the forest (?) area.
I do want to explore myself but would be good to get off on the right foot

First area is Forest of Giants. It has a few extra solders along the way to deal with, so go slowly. Also you need to open up the shortcut connecting the citadel bonfire so stock some firebombs with yourself. (purchase off witch it you don't have any).
Shoot it with an arrow from level below then we he flies in the sky run to its platform.so what the fuck at thein hilde's tower?dragon
I tried dashing, no way to get to him before he knocks me back and eventually kills me
Wondering if I'm a bit over levelled for the point I'm at in the game as Its been so long since I played this. I'm Lv 103 and have got 3 primals done, going for a dex build. I've been using a Ricard's rapier + 10 and a regular Rapier + 10, what's good to infuse these with and what's a good light armor set to go with?
Also when should I take on the dlc, when I have the last boss unlocked?

bah. well ok then
another thing, were there so many torches you could light up in no mans wharf before? the regular ones, not the
big device one
they make the zone look awesome when you light them along the way. I know peeps hate that zone but I really like it /shrug

Caved and bought it. Can't tell what's different visually, but I'm used to Durante's mod. Got to the area where the first Heide knight used to be, killed a mass of enemies and then accidentally swung my weapon once too many times to kill an enemy.
...durability bug in full effect. Sword broken.

I need some advice. Ok I've finished the forest and have beaten
at the tower of flame and headed to no man's wharf and got a bit wrecked.
So far I've mainly been using the fire longsword and a shortsword upgraded to +2.
I hear there is a ring that improves durability. Any idea where this is or can I not access it until further into the game. As for weapons the 2 I've mentioned are breaking in no man's wharf and it appears my others aren't that good or I'm not levelled enough to use them.
I also have a spear, halberd, bastard sword, morning star and a couple of soldier swords. Now should I be levelling so I can use the halberd or bastard sword? Or upgrading the ones I have better? I don't mind farming to get better stuff. I'm getting wrecked by the big old knights around tower of flame.

Gaf, help me with Dex build, i want finally to use it, which weapons to use, what stats to upgrade, weapon with shield, dual-wielding or two-handed?
You fight dual-wielding?
You fight dual-wielding?
You can find the ring in the Lost Bastille.

Ok thanks. Is that accessible via the birds nest? Does it really improve it? I've not had any issues until I got to no man's wharf.
You'll have to defeat the Bastille boss if you take the bird nest route. If you go from the wharf you can grab it without any boss fight. I really like the ring, even as the base version. But the +2 is much better for weapon durability as it has 50% reduced wear compared to 20% for the base version.

Ok thanks for the tips. So I need to make a decision. Risk no man's wharf with my weapons or beat the Bastille boss.
If you can sniff out a route to the boss, it'll be quite simple to just sprint to the boss in the wharf. That'll save you a lot of enemies, time and broken weapons. You can always go back and collect any items you've missed
Yeah dual-wielding and so far so good, although I had to pump early levels into Adp to get my agility (iframes) up to 105 so that I could actually use my roll properly.

Yeah I'm not sure how close I got to the boss. I plodded along a fair bit and got past some weird monkey type creatures and then died. Maybe I will just do some trial sprints and see how I get on.
I haven't played DS2 since its initial release and am, therefore, unfamiliar with the patches that have been implemented since that time. I just read in another thread that Royal Rat Authority had been nerfed since initial release. I was also told by a co-worker some time ago that Lost Sinner (one of my favorite boss fights from the game) was nerfed. He also told me that they reduced the difficulty of Shrine of Amana somehow. (one of my favorite areas)
What other bosses/etc. have been nerfed since DS2 launched?

Also... why!?
They were too frustrating before. I'd say Amana is even easier in this release too. And Dragon Shrine is much easier.
Its in the gutter but you need to kill the

Well never thought this would happen. Started this yesterday morning and also had a session last night and not even thought about going back to bloodborne even though I like BB more? I guess the more crushing difficulty on this is keeping me here as I'm more determined to beat where I get stuck. I say crushing difficulty but in reality it's just my lack of a decent gameplan that leads to my downfall most of the time. The variety of weapons is also keeping me here. Some I'm just a little short stat wise of using them so want to get levelled so I can try them out.

Which weapon you plan to use? You would want either Str or Dex (or was it Agi?) for different type of weapons.
Unfortunately nope, breh. Didn't play DS2 in months but plan to continue soon since I still have 2 DLCs to finish.

Yes, there's actually a difficulty curve (sort of). The first two bosses are the easiest bosses.
Most bosses in NG are gonna be that easy. Get used to it lol
I died like 5x trying to beat him.
*As always* with these games, you will find some things easy where others find it difficult and vice versa.
