That has to be the cheapest boss fight I have seen in a game. Almost made me trade the game in. Stuck on him for hours...
Edit: yeah way too soon.
Sometimes big enemies give you them randomly.

What gem should I infuse to my Greatsword? I've never gone GS in a Souls game so no clue.
at what level though?
(I just saw a sl1 run, but those runs are fucking magic and I can't do them)
You must be underleveled to be that far and be only level 26. Then again, I beat her at level 56 and it was a cakewalk, so maybe I'm overleveled.
Run back up the stairs near the 2 knights. There will be a cathedral you can enter with an old lady on a throne. Kill her to activate the Dancer boss.
Be warned though... It's a terrible fucking boss.
I usually hate the whole re-running but I can't say I found the bonfires up to that point particularly bad? However they suck ass in the later areas, that's for sure.
Oh, didn't realize you could even do that. You encounter her naturally later on.
I'm level 39 I think.
Yeah I remeber her, she seemed "good" why are we killing her? She gives you a convient or something right?

Almost every boss (if not all) has a bonfire shortcut...

Easy bonfire run for this boss:
1)Open the door near cursed tree area
2)Run outside, down the stairs, up the stairs immediately to the right
3)There is a hidden bonfire right after the buildings, before the bridge. Jump down the cliff to the ledge below and search around a bit
Bam, straight run to the boss available. To get easy STRAIGHT run to a boss you often need to use some clever shortcuts and stuff, but they are there from my experience with 4 first bosses.
That's not even the bad part. The other bonfires are often poorly placed, and so are shortcuts. They clearly didn't put as much effort into this stuff as they have in the past.
When I unlock a new shortcut, I want to say "hell yeah!", not "huh, why?".

It's as easy to spoiler tag. People need to be more considerate.
Can anyone tell me why my Ember sign is flashing white? I was completely oblivious of this until now.

Is there a way to have Playstation button prompts on PC?

Oh man, I was watching this Before you Buy video of DS3 and I see the new enemies, the new locations and everything and it just looks so much better than DS2. I am currently playing 2 and my intention is to finish it, but to be honest I'd rather really just buy 3 after seeing that. This one actually has awesome level design and for some reason I am not feeling most of 2's locations so far.
Are there any downsides to using this method? I might as well give the fight a shot so I can get the awesome set, but I'd rather wait for the normal method if I miss out on something.

Hmmm, no lifegems? These knights are brutal without shield. Trying to find the first real boss, taking it slow as always.

I am running a Knight but truthfully--and especially after spending SO many hours in Bloodborne--I find it difficult to discern the appropriate time to block with my Shield instead of just evading. My first instinct so far has ALWAYS been to just do a roll/stepping-sideways evasion instead of blocking, no matter what attacks directed at my character.
Makes me kind of think... maybe it's pointless for me to run Knight since it seems like shield-blocking is pretty integral to its playstyle...? Maybe I should pick a class that truly makes roll-evasion a central trait of its playstyle instead of blocking?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmh.

Yeah, you can still be in the covenant if you kill her?
i'm going to try her too, at level 26, might take a while before i get the hang of it.
Not sure about greater ramifications. But it looks like no matter when you beat her, you get her boss soul and access to the next area.
Yeah, it's much much much harder than the earlier areas. What level are you, out of curiosity?

lol no. Unless you are top 1% of elite Souls players it's a waste of time.
Have a go though, then give up like me!

Very popular armor set. I prefer the Lothric Knight set myself. Absolute best set is Sirris's set though it took a lot of work to get it (only chest piece is from her set here, but it's the most important!!)
Fixed that for you. Please spoiler tag your images in the future.

is the game just very short or do they throw all the estus shards at you early on? just found another so im up to 9
I suppose it's because the shards are divided between two flasks now.
UGS all have hyper armour during swings and stagger most enemies so they honestly seemed pretty OP when I've seen them.
think im gonna go ahead and buy that 20k souls key now since I have 20k, before I fuck up and lose them all or something. Gotta do it anyway (I assume), might aswell get it over with . Im at the
point of the game now for reference
but its still only 12 total right?
yup. peoplr see the dmg and go "wtf this isnt much better than my normal 1h" and dont realise about the moveset, stagger and whatnot. the thrust heavy attack on the Claymore is a godsend, so much that im going to struggle to move on from it, unless I find a better one also with thrust
Cathedral of the Deep / Farron Keep

Do you need to go to 10 INT for a certain NPC or is there something you can wear to get to 10? I have no idea when I can respec and don't want to waste stats. Worried though if I carry on for too long said NPC might disappear. Cheers
Finally started to play last evening.
It really feels weird after getting used to Bloodborne. I kinda miss healing system in Bloodborne. Being limited to few estus flasks is kinda worrying! But i really appreciate the faster gameplay. Especially it feels zillion times better than DS2.
But about those weapon arts...do you use it a lot? So far i keep forgetting that such thing exists.o they get more vital or become obsolte as you progress in the game? So far i used them 2-3 times when i had plenty of timing to execute them (switching weapons to 2nd etc).
And are there too many bonfires? Right after raising banner and flying to new area i found 2 bonfires so close to each other. I kinda miss the defeat th eboss to get checkpoint system in Demons Souls.
Btw i get lots of Demons Soul vibes from it. Those knights with red glowing eyes, those fat ladies who casts spells, some of the areas so far reminds me areas from DS a lot.
OH and my biggest dissapointment is firelinkshrine music...nothing memorial...its too weak when compared to others..
and without spoiling can u tell me that i should get the key to tower from old woman at firelink shrine? Does it worth 20k souls early in the game?

I finally hit my first wall with that area's boss.
12 to find + 3 to start with
The first half of the game is finding Estus shards and the second half is finding undead bone shards, more or less.
I think around 54?
neat

Hi guys, was hoping you could help me. I'm loving the game. I picked the Pyromancer class because I liked the idea of fusing spells with Bloodborne-esque agility and close-quarters combat.
However, I can never shake the sense that I'm doing something wrong in this game. Obviously I'll keep putting points in Faith and Intelligence to improve my spells, but the main area I want to focus on is my one-handed weapons, as I see the spells as an alternative option, really.
Where else should I be putting points? Vigor, Endurance, and Strength? I'm not quite sure. Bloodborne is my favourite one of these games, so ideally I'd like to play it similarly to that - albeit with a bit of spell casting thrown in for variety.
Should I start again, or can I mould my character into what I want over time?
(I'm almost done with the second boss by the way, if it helps.)
THANKS!
