Just platinumed the game! Overall, aside from the Covenant item farming, it's been a nice way to better explore the world (by getting all the +1 and +2 rings) and to do the questlines right (for the gestures). I think it's a good trophy (even if I actually just bother to platinum souls games because I like them so much!)
On to PvP now!

You could cheese the MLGS early.
Sword Master and Hawkwood can be made invincible for their respected boss fights leading to the MLGS.
Lost 2 mill. two nights ago for the same reason. Once you get to NG+, it just doesn't seem as important. You can make it up farming quickly.

I need to get back to playing my challenge (which landed me as an Int character) but once I get back to it I plan on using Crystal weapons to have an earlier Int-based option.
Oh, didn't know the cheese method worked for

I kind of wish FROM would let trade between characters. They just need to put the same restrictions like with player's trades. There's really no difference.
To be fair, MLGS is just about fashion souls , and because I always do a MLGS build in Souls/BB. I'm sure there's a lot of more viable weapons for an INT. build

All NPCs that can be summoned can be made invincible with the same method used. The Dancer/Sword Master just became popular as it opens up end game early.

Just died to Aldrich in NG+... well not to him exactly but I had ~0 health and 0 Estus and after I killed him I immediately switched my helm to the Helm of Avarice for those bonus souls... you can guess what happened then!!! As I was dying I noticed the +225 000 Souls prompt and laughed.

Just wanting to know if you can defeat the final boss without going to NG+ automatically.
Stupid quesion, but my brother's been searching through the net for a while so trying to help him out.

What system?

Thanks!
Meet you in Grand Archives bonfire. Pass GAF, need to trade with 2 characters, then Farron bonfire before AW for delivering back.
Do you have any problem finding summon signs at that level? I'm at SL 120 and walking around with half a million souls in NG+. I'd kind of like to level up a bit more, but I don't want to close out the possibility of co-op.

Never trust those nasty purples.
You'd think so, but it never worked for me. Well, maybe like, one or two invasions ever.

Because I played NG0 blind I did not find Archdragon Peak... 90 hours later deep into NG+ I entered it for the first time.
Feels like FREE DLC!!!
Awesome.

Question for near end game?
I've killed all the lords of cinder. If I offer them all to their thrones in will I start the end of the game? Should I get any more exploring I'd like to do done now?
The game doesn't take you directly to NG+ after the ending, so you can just continue exploring after beating it.

Oh? Excellent! Thanks for the info.
it was reasonable.

Maybe a bit too high, I had more success around 30, rather than mid-30s.

nop for pvp its amazing that 120 meta stuff is crap.. ima go to 175 maybe even 200 for ng++ plus i got constant aldrich summoning at pontiff. 120 is just too low. but yea watchdog, darkmoon, and Blues just dont work for me.. not just at this high level pretty much for the whole 115 hours ive played��
damn should have done it early game

I never went beyond +3.
If you think about it, the first time you set foot in the woods you can't have a +4 weapon. You are much likely to invade people who sets foot the first time in the woods and they are taking their time to explore the place that people who already went into the cathedral or further into the poison swamp.

I remember having duels at Central Irithyll, it's a great spot to find red summon signs and the players there are better on average, in my highly-subjective experience.
Usually the duels just end up happening around the bonfire and not the bridge though, often because it's easier for invader summons to find the host that way.

It's just a bunch of healing cunt Mound Makers now
That's why I asked
Thanks, man.
my understanding was that you had a +-2 window so I took my weapon to +4 expecting that I would still be able to invade enemies with +2 weapons. It worked out.

Maybe some like the Aldrich Faithful spicing up things a bit sometimes? lol I dunno.
I still almost never duelled. It's far more fun to invade right now. I am addicted to invading (mostly the Catacombs) and assassinating everyone I can. I should try invading Irithyll next... but I'm still having fun in the Catacombs lol, plus all my enemies are dead so retrieving a bloodstain is easy.
Some couple of recent invasions I saved, if anyone enjoys them (with dorky annotations):

Holy shit, I had no idea the shortcut you used at the beginning of that one even existed. Mind blown.
Morrigan Stark

Haha yep you can skip a significant portion of the level here, though you'd miss on some loot, a crystal lizard, etc (useful if you do all that but die before reaching the next bonfire though).
In the "timid gank squad" video I thought they were going to use that shortcut at first... but nope. They just stood around the beginning, doing literally nothing. All this time I was all "WTF are you guys doing?". It's not like they could even fear me using the enemies to my advantage (not that it'd mean that much since they were 3), they were all dead. So I assumed they were just regular bonfire-camping gankers, but they were a fairly timid sort if so. xD
