I don't use magic and I've never bothered with boss weapons. Just gimme more endurance and my claymore will do the job.

Thank you! Anything I have to do, or do I just have to wait a certain amount of in game time?
this isnt good advice at all. the correct advice is "dont use boss souls without first finding out if you want the spell or the weapon they create"
which 90% of the time, you dont

Question, if you were really, really good at timing visceral attacks in Bloodbourne would that translate to parrying in Souls games? Never played them before.
You can get on the roof by running up the tree next to it and jumping off. Pretty easy. You can use this to get the estus shard and
covetous silver serpent ring behind an illusory wall
err...when you DO want a weapon or spell? >_>
I like the broad sword, it was great in Dark Souls 2 as well. It's fast and has a wide arc so it's hard to miss with. Doesn't scale well, but that just saves you more points for vitality and endurance. I started using it immediately as soon as I found one. I'll try the more interesting weapons later.
Oh lord let me remember from my japanese playthrough ehh...
Use the bonfire where you can go to the right into the sewers. Go past the rats and everything and take the ladder up. See the bridge in front of you? Cross it (watch out for the guys that throw their pots at you!) run past them, just follow the way and there is the tower I guess. The other way would be to the cemetry where you get hit by spears. That is the wrong way. The other way is the correct one.
Wait for the NPC to come the elevator up. Take the elevator to the top. Talk to the NPC. Get down again, but jump down from the elevator to another level of the tower where the first NPC will be again. If you do everything here, you can go back and take the elevator down where the first NPC came from. Here is the correct way. The tree boss was optional.
Don't listen to him guys or else some of you will have to do more than two full playthroughs to get the platinum trophy. At the endgame you can farm souls way faster than using the boss souls up - using them is a waste of resource. Use them for the intended way - getting better weapons (or every weapon and spell at all which is impossible without trading every soul TWICE!)
Possible story reasons, I guess. Otherwise it's just cosmetic, it seems.

Oh wow, now i'm super disappointed in the artbook the US got... I didn't realize that European version was full size...

A tip for people who want to invade a lot. Do not over-level a weapon! I got to end game with SL of 40 but once I got to +10 I basically could not invade anymore.
Yeah kind of. A lot of the bosses and big enemies have pretty much the same visceral attack mechanic where you can stun them after doing enough damage and follow up with a visceral attack.
Shield parries are the same concept as doing it with your gun in Bloodborne. You parry right when the enemy's weapon is about to hit you.
Ah yes, I am normally very stingy with materials, but might worth a shot. I have like 15 dark blades lol.
Will try it out at home.

Does reinforcing chimes/talismans increase the amount of health they restore when you use healing spells?
ah yes that important platinum trophy... on STEAM
at least specify that you are talking about achievements / trophies and little else when you say "omg dont use boss souls". Gameplay wise what I said is absolutely true

Might be a dumb question, but can you parry/visceral attack with a 2H weapon?

Jesus, I'm struggling with the first boss after the tutorial. I've probably died 15 times to this thing already. Starting to doubt that I'm not leveled up enough or something. I really want to just do co-op with someone to beat it and then move on at this point. FeelsBad 
haha
I've been leveling up my spear and increased my level a couple. I find farming for souls in this area
to take forever, so I'm really trying to avoid that.

just stay under him
No it's still not true, because 90% is just bullshit and you know it. There are at least 7 weapons and 3 spells that are way more worth than your usual "lol 20.000 souls have fun, which you could have farmed in less than 4 minutes because we give you another easy soul farm way which is too obvious!".
Trading a boss soul for souls was never good and will never be good.

Leveling in general is much slower, at least it feels like that to me

Can you kill the High Wall enemy,
with arrows?
drake/dragon
No, but you can damage it till it goes away.
Not yet, but after Bloodborne I may try and go this route, haha.
Can you do something like shoot a specific body part to get a weapon like in the OG DS?
just run up to him and kill him before he turns.
I can't decide between medium SSAO and high. I have a really strange and intense love the dark shadow that surrounds the character with SSAO in general. Medium has that, but high makes the entire game look smooth.
But (seriously) also, i seem to be getting random micro-stuttering that I didn't get with Dark Souls 2, usually when traveling into new open areas, but never in combat. Anyone else seeing this? Other than that, game runs very smooth. Solid 60fps with an R9 290. Just beat that first knight after
.
The environments are incredible. Seeing the decrepit castle in the distance masked by the intense DOF gives me such an eerie vibe. This is going to be good.

Will that be permanent, or will it reset if I go to a bonfire or quit game?

Wait what...? I finished the game and I don't remember this xD
Permanent... in a way?
He won't be there anymore, but it is a waste of arrows and time.That's true until he transforms.

Attack the walls or just roll. Most of the messages you see are trolling you.
I started as an Assassin, but I'm going to probably spec so I'm more like a hybrid Knight/Sorcerer. In DS1&2 I was a tank, and I'm thinking of maybe mixing up my playstyle a bit.
Some messages are just there to fuck with you. The beauty of the souls messaging system.

Bottom rows of slots in your equipment menu are for your items. Equip the firebombs there. Then you can press down on dpad to scroll through the equipped items, press square to use.
