I have a question for those that fought A
when you saw
I noticed that while I had the Falcon Shield equipped, the drop for Proof of Concord was a lot more common than without it. As in I got one every 16 minutes rather than one every hour. So when I talked about it, someone else had a similar experience, so he wanted to test it out too
. Try it yourself if you're farming a covenant item and see if it helps drop it more often, I have a strong feeling it increases ID even though it doesn't show it.

the message that said you had to put out three flames, what was your initial thought? I saw that message near a campfire and was like, wow okay so knowing Dark Souls, I habe lead a slug to like spray it's weird crap on it and put it out. So I tried doing that and got hit a few times before dodge rolling and having it hit the fire AND nothing happened. So I was like da fuq? Okay gotta explore more. Then I saw the little alter with a flame and was like o...that makes more sense.

It took me a while to get it on my first run. Honestly I can't even remember if I figured it out by myself or if I broke down and looked it up on the wiki (I've been playing this game until 1-2AM some nights so my memory has been spotty - yay sleep deprivation!). I absolutely hated that area and wanted to get out of there ASAP. Thankfully it wasn't so bad on my current pyro character since I was able to kill the more problematic enemies from a distance.

#1 Aldrich Zone (behind Pontiff) as a Red or Mound Maker
#2 Irithyll of the Boreal Valley
#3 Irithyll Dungeon
So I got into this fight club and it took a while to start my fight because everyone that the host summoned turned into a jerk that wanted to sabotage the fight club.
Was funny to see everyone going all on his ass lol
After the jerks stopped popping, I finally took my turn to fight.... and my oponent took out his Washing Pole and decimated me lol that shit's hard as fuck to fight against.

Yup. Phantom range and crazy hitboxes. It's broken as fuck. Hard to parry as well oddly. That's why it's a meta weapon.
Only way I've beaten a washing pole is to use a washing pole lol.
I love the obscuring ring holy shit. Obscuring ring + Greatbow = FUN
They buffed it in the latest patch.
They just nerfed its damage recently too, it's like FROM don't realize that it's broken because of the phantom range and not damage, its damage was always pedestrian.
Wonder if I should try this out on my NG+
Tarkus

Exactly. The damage was never the issue. It's being hit from 15 m away with a running attack and the 270 degree hitboxes.
Do it! It's NG+ end game though, unless someone kind drops it for you.
I hate how it makes spears obsolete too, Spears are supposed to be good for running attacks and estus punishment, but the washing pole has the advantages of both weapon classes.

What do you mean? Is it bad to buy all the spells before doing something else :x? I bought all the spells except a couple you get for transposition, and the spells that are unlocked by going to
hollowing dude, because I somehow missed the turtle guy on my first playthrough.
Getting serious Demon's Souls vibes from Iriithyl Dungeon. Tower of Latria part two. I found the Old Key which opens the 'oldest cell' in the dungeon and the description says it's a cell of a giant. I beat the boss which was the giant but I don't think I used the key? Is there another cell somewhere I use it or did I unknowingly use it already to get to the boss?
So it isn't a boss soul weapon you purchase?
Probably doesn't matter for me but buying from one person instead of other while playing normally can screw up quests.

Really? Only quest I know of that can be messed up is
giving Carim lady dark spells. She goes coo-ku
You can just have someone drop the other soul for you from a clone save.

Yes, this community is very generous. You can have them drop a maxed weapon for you.
You use the old key in another cell. Keys aren't used up in this game.
EDIT: And I'm right there with you regarding the Dungeon. Whole place had me on edge just like the Tower.

I take it that arrow stab never made it in to the game? I was thinking of doing a bow only playthrough, the one I did in original DS2 was probably one of my favorite builds ever and that clip from the trailer got me super excited about it. I know the quick shot is the Short Bow's perk.

Arrow stab? He does a rolling shot with the bow and then backstabs the enemy with a straight sword. That move is still in the game.
Oh holy shit. I feel super dumb. I could have sworn that was an arrow. My bad, excuse the stupid.

Holy shit
Aldrich might be the end of the game for me. 20+ tries, second phase always gets me.
Phantoms not much help either.
what do ;___;

Oh never mind just beat him
So now all I need is gestures and sorceries (Orbeck damnnn youuuu and 1 crystal sage soul).
How do I not screw it up?
I bought everything that had a limit from vendors in firelink shrine. What else do I need to buy before going into NG+?
Are you on PC?

Sure I can do that. Add me on steam, same as my gaf name.
you can get all the sorcery tomes first before you get Orbeck to teach you. And only two gestures that conflict with each other is the darkmoon geature and proper bow. Maybe the patches gesture as well?
Not only does she have an account she has her own thread! I subscribe to it to see how far fanboys can go fawning over a clearly married woman, but never post in it. Its a little over the top IMO, but whatever, it is all entertaining for sure.I recently learned she has an account here so I hope she picks up our desire for more content.
Enb is 70% fake as fuck if I would have to bet. Not that it should matter, it's just silly entertainment.

Wooooow! Report Fromsoft for hacking! I was doing Sirris' quest and
I was at the part where you get summoned to her world to fight Creighton. He used the Undead Hunters Charm on her to stop her from healing, so I put it on my belt(she almost died while I did this, if I hadn't backstabbed Creighton in time, she woulda died .) But I threw one on him and knew it was active because the white cloud. Then I started attacking him, when he was almost dead, he pulled out his Estus and didn't drink. BUT HE GAINED HEALTH BACK! Report for h4x!

Report for h4x!I would, but I'm actually playing off a new account that's sharing dark souls from my main account so that I can get summoned as a darkmoon/watchdog.
I'm going to set my password to neogaf and drop a red sign at the first bonfire at high wall (first bonfire after leaving the shrine).
Edit: sent a friends request from my main account.

okay heading there now. Just drop whatever you want me to give to your other character. After you drop your items off and leave, I will put down my red summon sign so just summon me whenever you switch to your other character.
You doing this for new character or trying to achievement? You can transfer your main account save.
If you're doing something else, ignore this =p

I transfered my main account save over so I have all my higher level chars and whatnot. I want to move some items onto a new character is all.

haha well my bad, should have loaded my other character instead of picking continue. Let me give your items back and switch over to my other character, which does have the red soap stone
