Not even the whips?
To add to this, which is totally true, there's no harm in upgrading a weapon a little bit if you're still unsure about it or just want to be a little stronger for an area. You can find more titanite.

Is there anywhere I can find a list of boss weapons so I can decide which boss souls to save and which to burn for level ups?
Beat 3 bosses today.
Made it to the
and got ambushed by some
and died. I think that's enough for me today lol!
Crystal Sage
Deacons of the Deep
Highlord (giant skeleton guy)
First two bosses were super duper free, bummed rushed them and just slashed with the UGS. No deaths on either of them.
Highlord hit me with the okie doke when I first fought up (the mist that one shots you). 2nd time he managed to corner, I tried to get behind him but apparently you just get one shotted if you attempt that. 3rd time I beat him. This boss is stupid easy but there are some cheesy mechanics that instantly kill you. Very lame boss.

Even whips? Cause I'll be surprised if whips don't suck.
Not a horrible thing, the more the merrier!
I heard there is a trainer out. Hope that doesn't work online lol
Honestly, DS1 and 2 were blown completely open with Cheat Engine and it hardly mattered. Hundreds, thousands of hours in those games and cheaters were still rare. But, I am sure I fought many people who just made their (legitimate) build with CE. After beating the game so many times it's tempting to just be able to create the character you want for PVP. Again, no harm in that, unless you are going to cheat.

(sorry I'm not entirely familiar with this games systems) so the axe does not scale with attributes. Does that mean it will only gain power if I reinforce it and not if I level my dex or strength? I like using it but I'm just concerned about the future and it's usefulness. Right now it has so much more power than my other weapons though so I'm not entirely sure where it's getting its strength
Finished this today with 40 hours on the clock. Was by no means rushing either but to be honest I didn't find it all that hard. And I don't mean that in a bragging git gud way. More just that I've played so much Souls that the tricks and bosses aren't as effective at catching me off guard or punishing me. Great game though. I think I loved it more than bloodborne which says a lot considering how much I love Lovecraft.
Really looking forward to experimenting with builds and NG+ plus some jolly co-operation.
Also I think this might have the best music in the series. Which is crazy considering how incredible each soundtrack is.

Invading is so much fun. All kitted out for major invasion trouble. It's glorious.
Thanks for the responses. Going to use them. It's early in the game and given my class it's a very solid weapon early in the game.
Put a ton of hours in DaS1 so I'm familiar but appreciate the insight of Dark Souls vets who have played all iterations.

Questions regarding a mid game area I
I've thought a couple places were a little nasty before now, but this just feels brutal.
rrilyth Dungeon, what the hell is going on? No matter what I do I'm getting constant bleed build up without even fighting things and my health bar is also randomly shrinking to a pathetic size of instant OHKO misery.
This is the Deep Axe, right? It's getting its extra damage from its dark attack - if you look at the stats you'll see it's an even split between physical and dark. It's good now, but later on the lack of scaling will make it redundant, not to mention it'll be awful against enemies with dark resistance.

So do people pump vitality at all or do they just leave it alone? I'm at 15 from knight and I still can't even equip a claymore and a ring without going over 70 percent

I am hollow and somebody killed pilgrim. I have no idea who is the culprit and I'm guessing I now can't do anything to unhollow... beeffjerky ahoy

Ah cool that makes sense. Thank you!
Nah shouldn't be. Sewer where the big rat is..there's a key you can buy in firelink...follow the path

Is there such a thing as a missed backstab? It's probably a glitch, but a bunch of times I've gone for the animation and slowly transitioned into an attack when they're not held by a backstab animation.

Ah, I see,
but there's still appeares to be a culprit at large... ANd I don't mind being spoiled who i should kill to avoid death of other NPCs. I wasn't a fan of the same stunt in Demon's either...

Does anyone know what
is actually holding? Is it explained in the questline?

Huh?
Velka can remove Hollowing? I thought it was just to absolve sins.
The pilgrim dies no matter what. If you didn't receive 5 levels from him before he dies then his quest line is over.

I have been. I am a knight too and I can't see how you can ignore it if you want to use the heavier stuff. Plus you get the damage reduction which seems like a big deal to me. But I can't tell how much of a difference it is making compared to just getting more HP.

Yup, having so much fun with it. Did a bunch of SL16 invasions in Lothric to get my 30 vertebrae shackles early, so much fun to gank a host and 2/3 phantoms. Between 50-65 it's been non-stop action with the Faithful covenant. Wish Darkmoon wasn't totally impossible to get reliable summons with though.

Ah thanks. Guess it's time to go buy one.
The only people I got in DS1 were cheaters. But then again I live in Taiwan so who knows. Didn't play DS2 long enough to see anything.
So now suddenly the game just chokes and chugs FPS wise with most things set to low. I dunno what to do.

I'm watching ENB's play-through. It's funny that even a lore master like him doesn't get that a Lord of Cinder and a Holder of a Lord Souls are not the same thing. I've seen so many people say "Why are there five now when there were four before?!" When you think about it, at least when it comes to what the player accomplishes in Dark Souls 1, a Lord of Cinder is a being who holds ALL of the Lord Souls.

Fuck the
how in the world am I supposed to get past it?
Boreal Valley
Spoiler that shit, son. Are you referring to the bridge...?
No, they patched it awhile ago.
Yes - when you start a backstab, the enemy isn't locked into it until the attack is close to connecting, meaning that if they manage to move out of the way before it hits, you miss them and leave yourself open.

feck! I accidently attacked Sirris at the firelink shrine, can i get her back in this play through by praying at velka?
hm alright thanks.
i cant be that far in so maybe im simply jumping the gun, but is the consensus that the game is easier than DS1? (barely spent any time with 2.)
No specific spoilers please,
I beat the
and now I have two very obvious paths I can go. If I move forward, I get to a completely new area (forget it's name but there'a a bonfire at the start). Or, I can go through the
which has gained me many good items so far, but seems to have a dead-end at this
, but I haven't completely explored it yet. I guess my question is this: are this both "doable" paths at this stage in the game, or is there one actual path I can go and I'm just finding cool items in the
(which is honestly fine, just curious).
Also, I found the
, and climbing further up top there is a bridge with a
. I didn't attack it out of fear, but is this something I can do right now? Just kind of curious if I'm in an area that is outside of my level, as I can always come back. The world just seemed to open up quite a bit, and it's awesome and overwhelming.
Also, screw those
