So
you're saying I can find a soul trainer in the areas prior to the fight with the giant tree boss?
That means I really have to think about what I could have missed. I feel like I explored everything.
Edit: Also the
faith lady's protector is currently in firelink then?

Well, a +10 oni & uba at 40/40 str dex does more damage plain then with sharp, heavy or refined infusions.

Buy it from the Handmaid in Firelink.
Gotta
talk to a covenant person
Cathedral of the Deep
It was a bit annoying to find in my opinion, so I'll give you a hint right away:
check out the rafters.

So what's that
behind firelink shrine? It ran away when I got there.

Thank you!!! Feel like an idiot now.
those give u materials to upgrade weapons
He's just shooting anyone who's in the area.
Go talk to him and maybe he'll be a bit nicer towards you in the future. Might even be helpful.
I picked up a Stone Parma medium shield that covers that. Watchdog Covenant rank 2 also has it covered with a great shield.

Explain!
Yeah, there is definitely a difficult spike in that area.
And holy shit, *normal enemy spoilers*
I love how one of the enemies in that area is modeled/referenced after the Gaping Dragon. They were a PAIN to kill though; Much harder than most of the bosses I've fought so far.
They drop crafting materials to upgrade your weapons. They're called Crystal lizards

I think there is one in
High Wall, Silver Eagle Kite Shield? In the same general area with the big guy with the halberd/axe.
There is an NPC you find in the "settlement" area of the game, soon after 2nd boss, that gives you free levels based on certain criteria. But be warned, there may be some consequences in taking these free levels..

Dark Souls noob here, only experience in the franchise is that I beat Bloodborne a year ago.
Is the Bloodborne "style" viable here? I made a marauder, have been ignoring my shield in favor of dual wielding, and am rolling to avoid damage the way I learned in Bloodborne. It's working in this starting area but not sure if it will permanently.

There's a really good one later, in an optional area.

Same place as me lol. I was like why all the need torch messages, it's not dark xD
Don't think I got mine from an optional area, or maybe it is?
Stone Parma
Put 6 hours in. Damn, this is great.
was pretty tough, but it was all about learning the patterns.
This new area looks really amazing. Kind of like Hemwick Charnel Lane. The really cool thing about it, is that there's so much design here, and there are all these little sound effects and little touches that make the place really atmospheric. Great level design here.

There's an NPC in the short bridge/wall area between the high wall and undead settlement. Accept his help and go talk to him in the shrine. He'll let you level up for free every x death.
Small warning, though: the free levels will make you ugly as fuck.

Nope. Much later on.

Just got to (Big time spoilers for midgame)
I'm so hyped for this game right now.
Also,
Irithyll Dungeon. Holy crap I was not expecting that. Between that, Hellfire Tauros Demon and the Stone Stray Demon I am loving all of the throwbacks!
Also,
went into Sulyvahn's fight with two jolly cooperators and still barely made it out. I know these bosses may be easy to read sometimes, but it seems like they never let up. I'm still having a rough time of things. I'm level 40 now. Am I where I should be, because I feel like I'm taking a shit ton of damage from every enemy.
It absolutely is. Souls games have always been viable through rolling, and DSIII has more of the quick natured design elements from Bloodborne. There are some moments where it might be a good idea to block, but you can get through most bosses through perfectly timed dodges.
Yes.

I swear, he was not shooting at me before. I could stand right there where all the arrows are, even after he killed all the enemies and he'd do nothing to me. He was a nice help and then he turned on me... that bastard!

Cool. This one is good for me just now. Only need a bit more vig and I'll be able to equip this curved greatsword with heavy armour as well!

Awesome, thanks!
Quick follow up, when I do have the shield equipped, I don't really know when I'm "supposed to" block as opposed to just dodge. Is there any tips as to this?
Some guy just invaded me while I was working my way through a level. He instantly started destroying me. I was down to a shred of health but managed to trick him and break his line of sight temporarily. I dropped down into a secret area and hid behind a column. He furiously searched the area, every so often losing bits of health (I could see his name pop up when this happened). I left and made dinner, came back, and he was still at it. It must have been 20 minutes. He was down to a pixel of health left and he finally checked my hiding spot. He dropped down, temporarily stunned from the fall, and I slashed him once to finish him off.
In (area)
I just found a Pyromancy Tome on (NPC)
I found throughout my playthrough that enemies do way more damage than previous entries. Also my stamina drains like mad and I even have the chloranthy ring.
Smouldering Lake
The corpse of Quelana and it has some nice lore relating to the player of DS1

HAHA FINALLY DID IT! [Late game optional boss spoiler]
Maybe he just didn't notice you lol
Heh, same as me. Thankfully the fallen knight set covers my face and looks really fucking cool!

Glad to know it's not just me! I have Cloranthy too, and it still isn't fast enough. Any advice on damage mitigation? It's just crazy how many enemies take off what seems like almost half my bar with one hit. I have about 17 Vig at the moment.

When you have extreme difficulties dodging the attacks.
The Dark Sigil gives you the third ending, if you have finished Anris questline. But you are not allowed to cure the curse. You still have to stay hollow too and finish the questline or else you won't get the amazing third ending
Buy it from the old lady.

Haha ok fair enough, I'll fall back on the shield when Bloodborning isn't working.
You just gotta go by feel. Some people turtle through the whole game, just shield up, and picking away. I used to do this, but after playing Bloodborne, the quick natured and aggressive style is much more exciting.
If you just absolutely can't dodge an attack for whatever reason, then it might be a good idea to try using a shield to help mitigate the damage. Basically, one of the simple tactics is to circle strafe with a shield up while you start to recognize the attack patterns of an enemy. Most attacks are dodgeable though.

Awesome armour set. What I rock now.
1. Yes, yes if you skip that boss
2. Yes there is a consequence, no it doesn't break your game
3. Yes
