Killed Carthus boss yesterday. Never used that red sign but I think I have it, yes.
Only if you go the full luck hollow bleed way I think. And it's no waste then of course 😉

Go back to The High Wall of Lothric bonfire and use it. There's sure to be some 1v1 duels there.

If you infuse your weapon with Hollow, it scales with your luck stat and your weapon will do massive bleed damage.
edit: your character should also be hollowed

That's great! You were on your last chance with him I believe.Killed Aldrich and Greirat is back at Firelink. Nice
Apparently so! Glad I happened to read something about him this morning, being able to buy embers and the other items he sells is going to be really nice.
Thanks for the advice on how to proceed from where I was! Much appreciated.

Thanks. Mmm i don't think i will do that.

Ok, I'll try that! Thanks.
Is it normal that bosses are glitchy when being summoned? I could not help in a Volnir fight because his hands always clipped through the ground...
You have to be hollowed (the more the better) and push your luck stat. Than you hollow infuse your weapon and shield to get another 10 points in luck.
Use carthus rouge and watch enemies bleed
I used it with Onikiri and Ubadachi and the Carthus great curved sword and its really fun. The only problem in PvE are the bosses/enemies with a high bleed resistance. I would use a weapon with build in bleed for PvE, as your rouge won't last through a level a random youtube video about it

Questions.
When i beat the final boss, will i be forced to go to ng+?
Can i pass from a covenant to another without losing my progress?
If i miss a ring in ng, will i be able to find the same version in ng+?

There are things you can't find in NG+
some rings that have a +1/+2 version of it I think
AFAIK you can beat the last boss and go on with other things in this playthrough. I don't know for sure if this is the case for all endings though.

Dropped off the game for a bit and I'm trying to get back into it but I want to try out a new build.
I'm SL60 right now and I'm at the Irithyll boss. Any suggestions? I was just going with a straight strength build so far. Is any int/faith/pyro build worth it at this level?
I've fucked up probably every NPC quest and it's making me want to start over :[

I don't know why I find it so funny when people leave messages calling you a skeleton. I see it all the time:
fine work,
skeleton!
don't give up,
skeleton!
Cracks me up every time. I've even put a few down myself. My favorite is the one I put right in front of the invisible jailers in the Profaned Capital:
listen carefully,
skeleton!

One thing that struck me here was
finding Yhorm seems really early? I was expecting there to be an arduous trek through the capital to find him, but he's literally 30 seconds from the bonfire. We haven't even found Aldrich yet!
The other part that was weird is that there's a shitload of treasure here, but I wouldn't have associated that with a giant - hoarding gold is more of a classic dragon trait, which would have fit in with everything dragon-related we've found so far.

You could branch out at that level it depends on whether you want to do pvp or not.
DS2 had much lewder skeletons if I remember the messages correctly.
Answers:
- No you will not.
- Yes you keep covenant progress as you switch between them.
- It will be replaced by a higher version if applicable I believe but not 100% on this one.

All rings can be found in NG+ and NG++, they will not be replaced. And you'll keep all the rings you find, they won't be "upgraded".
All the + rings are found on new locations.

Ah, nice. Good to know. Thanks!
I started a faith build at one point and just left it. Need to finish it before the dlc so I would love to steal your gear.
Still weapon tier 1 but if you are starting a new character that should work.

just started the boreal valley. having a bit of trouble with it. the huge monster kept killing me so i tried to lure it down to the more open area but it seems there is a barrier to stop it going in there. i was trying to use it to protect myself and just go through to attack it but it completely disappeared.
those huge guys with the flame staffs are doing my head in. i've had enough for today. will give it another go later.

It will come back if you return to the bridge, it's a one time spawn with a unique drop so it's worth killing. The hit boxes on this enemy are some of the worst in the game though.
the Duo down in the sewer or whatever that is behind that invisible wall. FUCK THOSE GUYS!

I always take them on one at a time and try not to aggro the other, if I do - I run for the ladder! XD

My first playthrough I fought both at once. That was one of the hardest non-boss encounters in the game.
In subsequent playthroughs I wised up and lured one and a time. They're still tough, but definitely so much easier alone.

Phew... Breath-taking!
Wohoooo. I was summoned wearing the blue sentinels item
Too bad the summoning failed with an error, of course! 😠
Oh, and I'm done with invasions. This shit is broken, I may try it later when I'm at level 120. It's maybe one out of 20 invasions that is remotely fair, it's a waste of time.

Good luck. SL120 invasions have the highest amount of gank squads, based on my experience. The best place to invade at SL120 is Archdragon Peak; there's fewer gankers and the mobs are strong so you'll get some free host kills. Don't even bother invading the post-Pontiff/Anor Londo area gank city right there.

Played for two hours, I'm liking it so far even if it is slower and less aggressive than Bloodborne.
Is there a story recap (video or article) of the first two Dark Souls games ? I feel like I'm a little lost. Thanks.

hands in the Profaned Capital. There's The Ring/The Grudge creatures with their flailing limbs, and then there's the hand-face hippos that seem to be DS3's version of ogres, but they're just so much stranger.
I'm sure we'll figure out why the hand-face hippos are the way they are at some point, but goddamn are they creepy and make no sense.

Great. It feels like I'm fighting these guys already. Today a naked guy with that dark moon blade spell destroyed me in two hits. With a straight sword. Why am I matched against players like this?
It's terrible that I don't get any rewards killing invaders myself, as there is no other way than farming then.
I really hope the DLC will increase the player base by a large margin so that I will be summoned at some day, too.

So i've always played Souls games as a melee, 2h usually, and i'm starting my second run of DS3 as a caster.
How do people play this style, especially bosses without a reticle? I just beat the first Curse-Rotted Greatwood only with the help of co-op.
Any advice on casters in general?

Thanks, but I'm going to have to wait until this weekend. I still have to figure a few things out with the direction of this build, as it will probably be my PvP and dlc build for a while.Missed this. If you still need help, give me a shout tonight.

Agreed. Very cool boss visually, but overall very easy and not that bombastic. Only died once to them during my three runs.

Goddam, I hated those bastards. Died there more times than anywhere else in the game, eventhough I fought them one by one.
It's a cool fight, but pretty easy. I managed to clear that on the second try. Although, I was accompanied by a NPC, who surprisingly survived the fight as well.
I kinda liked the additional challenge in the last boss fight. Trying to
keep Yuria alive to get her gear in the shrine afterwards
she died
I was wondering, which save file I should use to start the DLC; the one before the last boss, or the one after it? The latter is still on NG as well. I suspect the absence of some NPCs would affect the DLC. I wish I had a third save file before any of the NPC quests came to an end.

When judging the difficulty of a boss in those games, it absolutely should be based on a solo experience. Some bosses become absolutely trivial when their attention gets divided and they can't punish your healing, attacks taken during non-openings (but you're OK 'cause they were distracted), etc.
It's not to say that it's bad or wrong to coop (or use AI NPCs) if you want to play that way. I coop all the time myself. But it does not represent the boss's true difficulty and it's far too big of a variable.
Of course other things do vary from player to player and there isn't a universal truth, but a solo experience is at least a damn baseline.

Your initial post, regarding disqualifying others from even commenting, just seemed like a textbook example of the arrogant attitude among the series' fanbase, that's often criticized and seen as a turn-off.
