Question regarding an enemy at the road of sacrifices: I encountered a
deprived npc woman with a large blade
and got my ass handed to me. So naturally i decided to have another go but the enemy was no longer there.

Did i mess anything up? Did i miss any drops now or will i encounter this enemy again somewhere else?

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?

I dodge when I can't afford the stamina loss of taking a hit on the shield. So basically the bigger the guy and the harder he hits, the more likely I am to dodge (since it'll take more stamina away if I try to block someone that hits harder).

I've been using the blue sentinels covenant most of the game and I've never been called in. I'm not sure how I'm ever gonna get the platinum at this rate. Am I doing something wrong? You just have the covenant equipped right and you should get called in to kill invaders?

Not a lot of people are doing regular invasions :\

I would say working as intended.

Blues were a barren covenant on DS2 too.

You may be able to get tokens by invading whilst the covenant is equipped.

It prioritizes people in the area. Make sure you're not over leveled for your zone you're in. If so, try moving to a higher level place to see if it helps. There's lots of PVP action after
Pope Sullivan's bonfire

I played as a blue (the hidden covenant version) and I got called in constantly. Now I'm a purple. Fuck those blues. >:)

casual question as an aracnophobe and sadly souls fan

how are the spiders in this?

i've only encountered
the spider cat thing at the cathedral of the deep
and that was pretty alright for my phobias, but i'm trying to be prepared if there's another brighstone cove -___-

I've just beat him actually so maybe it'll pick up. I'm level 60 though. I feel like I might be overlevelled but I've not farmed at all so not sure how. I've not lost any souls yet so maybe that's why.

I am not really cool with them filling up a room to the BRIM with enemies. Like, seriously FROM?

P.S Dogs are THE worst enemies in this game.

Just got to (Big time spoilers for midgame)
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!
I'm so hyped for this game right now.

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.
Click to expand...

Considering you're roughly around where I am, I'd say you're about 10 or so levels under me (For context; I've gotten to the next bonfire beyond the
Irithyll dungeon
area, but I haven't beaten the
Sulyvahn
boss yet), by that logic we should be roughly around the same level. I'm like SL 53-54 or so, I can't quite remember right now. I haven't been grinding at all really, although I've explored the prior areas quite thoroughly, only using a +3 weapon currently, too.

That's the only spider enemy in the game. Unless crabs also count

Just stopped after about eight hours today, which (now that I find myself typing it) sounds incredibly irresponsible. I can't stop. This is the closest anything has ever come to recapturing that magical feeling of discovery strung along by patience that was Dark Souls 1 for me.

It's not perfect so far, but wow. The game oozes passion; you can feel the thought poured into every corner.

You are not over-leveled I would say. Also try sticking in an area without moving in and out of non-summon zones (you'll know because the icon in top left will stop pulsing).

You can farm the items off of enemies. It's tedious, but if you want to just get the platinum it's maybe the simplest way. I had no problem getting to 45 or so blue symbols in PVP before I gave up being a good guy. Some people seem to not get summoned much, some do. I almost wonder if it's a network setting, like NAT2 not being enables on your router. Really just baseless conjecture though lol

There seems to be some issue in graphics drivers that will crash the game very frequently, when lightning quality is anything else than "low". For example when approaching a bonfire.

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.

Just came across one of those

Fucking creepy as hell lol

Is it for
the locked doors in the undead settlement, where this witch is on a bridge and there is also a purple invader?

It starts out tougher, but then when you go past the hurdle that you face in the beginning, it feels great. Eventually you end up like everyone else, though.

There's another
sewer area
too, fairly close to the shortcut.

Man, this is SUCH a pretty area but FUCK THESE ENEMIES lmao. So fast and hard-hitting and, goddamn. Even their reach is insane. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but difficulty spike doesn't even start to describe it lol.

Quick question, I am a knight and am using the fencing sword. Is there a benefit in unequipping your shield and only using the sword at all or is that just placebo? Feels like it's quicker.


Also, can't figure out backstabs and sidesteps. I melee lots of guys straight in the back, but I don't get a backstab animation unless the camera is also positioned at their back. Any tips for this? Sidesteps seem totally impossible 99% of the time because when I press B my dude just rolls away losing momentum.

Beat the katana guy by pushing him off the cliff, and the DS1 trick/feature where enemy loot gets reset to a safe position if you immediately reload still works.

Does anyone know if it's possible to say, farm Proof of Concord Kept by duel signs and password?

Too high of a level so I'm not getting summoned by regular means. And I need 15 more.

Shall I try the Dancer Fight? Too Soon?

Otherwise; co-op?
