Yeah that fixed it, it just sucks that I need to do that for the game to work properly
Maybe 1/4 trough, early game.
Looks cool! Also, what weapon is that in the picture?
Looked at the movesets of F

Can't really decide which one to get once I'm at that point. I might take whatever I choose to the end as my main unless there's something similar that beats those weapons on all fronts. Loving the battle art
sommersault beatdown
WKGS
breakdancing
Farron
Can someone help me decide? I don't plan on parrying much but the same probably goes for two handing my weapon so it basically comes down to which basic moveset I prefer?

I got laid off the other month and have been sitting on an okay severance and savings and have just been playing the game since the Japanese release, which I got out of boredom/impatience even though I can't read/know 3 words in Japanese.
godspeed man...looking for new jobs really blows.

Having a really hard time with the
. Dunno if that was specific enough, but I can't find the way up to the first three enemies and I'm out of arrows. It makes it super hard to progress while getting spammed by firebombs.

Anyone?
Weird, is my game wonky or is co-op just buggy at the moment? I just did the 2nd area's boss again and it was flaky too. First time, the host, the other phantom, and all mobs just slid around with no animations. Second time was mostly the same except the other non-host player had animations. The boss is also apparently completely broken by this -- not having any attack animations, he doesn't deal any damage. D:
Hint: look down.
I'm fresh out of college with a pretty useless degree (at least in my cynical eyes) so... i dunno. My situation is okay, I'm okay, but it gets depressing not being able to get a job, lack of jobs etc.
but yea, thanks man. good luck to you too. let's enjoy our free time with some dark souls!

They've done a pretty good job at designing so many bosses around a few simple attack strings and roll i-frames, but if you've been through all of them, you've seen most of what they have to offer.
can't say i've run into an actual faceroll boss where you can tank damage and mash attack to win though. If you're forced to use rolls and pattern recognition with proper attack timing, they're still doing their jobs.

Defeated the uchigatana dude easily to my surprise. Does the masters attire or whatever raggedy shit he's wearing got any hidden use? I stored it for potential usefulness.
First impressions: Yup. This is Dark Souls... oh... I'm dead.

I took it as a tongue-in-cheek thing. The master's armor is shit because the master doesn't ever get hit and thus doesn't need to worry about armor lol

Anyone know where I can pick up the zweihander so my real playthrough can begin? I'm almost at
so I've gone through most of the previous areas but I rushed without exploring too much. I like the Claymore but it's just not doing it for me.

Thanks.
Does it involve me setting fire to Emma's room (which I just did, I'm just undecided if I want to torch the nice old lady too)?

I know the onion knight has one, though I'm not sure if you get it if you kill him.
He's the knight who is having elevator troubles in the undead settlement

What's the opinion on boss souls? Use some for leveling or save them all for items? I'm early in the game (just finished my third boss) and wondering what would be the best thing to do. I'm using an average build; started with warrior, have focused on strength/endurance with some dexterity, vitality, and vigor. Thanks!

Finally was able to successfully co-op with my brother. We had met all the conditions for co-op early, it was just being stupid.
To finally get it to work, we had to get way the hell away from the bonfire, and keep laying down our symbols but it finally worked. Still not great, From.

You have to go through the boss room of the

Go inside the shrine and light the bonfire, you can progress from there. Firelink is pretty big but there's nothing to do in it this early.
Yeah I know, I'm just assuming they missed that boss and going from there.

I spent an hour looking so I'll just tell you:

I guess it wasn't a jp thing.

I mean the Firekeeper tells you what to do. I know the first thing I did when I hit Firelink was talk to every NPC until I exhausted their dialogue.
There's an item that lets you summon up to 3 phantoms at a time, but it opens you up to having two invaders at a time as well I think. Haven't tried it out myself.

Alright. Less than six hours of work left. I can do this!
Going in blind and have probably missed a ton, but I don't mind.
Killed four bosses and ended my sessions last night at the fifth. Did not beat yet, but man what a cool fight. I'm talking Lady Maria levels of atmosphere here!
Chose the Herald and I have been running with a shield and a broadsword. Still looking for That Weapon (whatever it ends up being).

Nope the area before that. Should be a forest area. Had those enemies that

The pleasant swamp area, not the putrid one. Keep left when coming from the

Want you guys' opinions on something related to how you play.
My friend is the type who will use whatever guide or anything he can use so he doesn't miss a thing. I personally don't like that route, but I'd be guilty if I didn't Google an NPC to see where I'll find them next because I don't want to miss a quest line, or how hollowing works in this one since I don't understand it yet. Trying to take myself off of that this time though. Do you guys go full guide, completely dark or what?
