seriosuly what am I missing on

Spoiler

Aldricht

? when he/she has like 25% left I cant do anything, its just

Spoiler

wisp / arrow / lasers spam

, there no break? I dont get it

Spoiler

are you focusing on attacking his tail? after you dodge his spell barrages just zerg rush down his tail. he's pretty squishy from my experience, and all of his attacks are pretty slow/have long wind ups so they aren't too hard to dodge.

Could anyone point me towards the

Spoiler

sun bro

alter. I got plenty of

Spoiler

medals

and nowhere to offer them?

the alter is found *lategame boss spoiler*

Spoiler

right across from the dragonslayer armour boss fog gate

 

[Skatterd]

Thanks!

Good to know

Have any insight on summon restrictions in certain zones? We could not get 2 summons in the Path of Sacrifice. When we alternated our sign would show up instantly but never both at the same time

Im guessing certain zones restrict capacity?

Summoning 2 phantoms? There's a few places where you can't summon at all (White Soapstone will be greyed out) but I'm guessing the signs have to cycle through. Summon one person and then have 2nd put sign down. If it doesn't show up, set a new password to summon them and reapply

Also worth noting that you have to use a dried finger to summon 3 phantoms.

what you said applies till 25% like I said but then its just spell spam and I have to dodge all the time. clearly im doing something wrong

Not sure how far you are but is it at

Lothric Castle

near the

Dragon Slayer Armour Bonfire

.

 

[into.it.over.it]

Last night the

Spoiler

wraith

in the poison swamp area dropped its

Spoiler

armor

. Do you know if you can get the complete set by returning and farming it?

If you continue to the end of the swamp area

Spoiler

you should come across a bonfire with two darkwraiths very close by. That bonfire is also a nice little souls farming spot depending on your progress

The biggest threat is the

Spoiler

arrow shower which you'll have to run away from. I'm not sure if there's an exploding aoe attack but that'd count as well. Other than that just get in there and go ham. I was surprised that it just let me go nuts but that seemed to work

 

[Nephtes]

Speaking of connections to DS2, I'm not sure where

Spoiler

Mirrah

fits into DS3's world but I'm glad their swag armor is in the game.

I'm still on the lookout for the

Spoiler

Faaram set

that keeps popping up in the loading screens along with DS2s tag line of belonging to knights that have "Gone beyond death".

Best set in DS2. Can't wait to see its next gen look.

Try staying close to Aldrich. If you are far away from him he will spam all those projectiles. When he does the arrows try looping the arena so that you end up rather close to him. The melee stuff he does is pretty easy to dodge.

Thanks. I am only at the Abyss Watchers. I guess I will be able to max the covenant once I get there. (=

So, was the bonfire sacrifice from the previews removed from the game altogether? Can anyone confirm this for me?

[E92 M3]

from what I've read basically

Spoiler

aldrich was a saint that made a habit out of eating people. eventually, he ate so many over time that he slowly transformed into a gelatinous blob. he ends up eating gwyndolin through the help of pontiff sullyvan, whom detests the old gods. as he devoured gwyndolin aldrich had dreams of priscilla, and uses her scythe as an attack when you fight him. he also ate nito I think, you can see nito in his model right below gwyndolin.

Thanks, that is very interesting.

Spoiler

Pontiff sounds like a real douche lol

Oh yeah,

I've traded a lot, but didn't know about the seed

 

[Iorv3th]

So I think I got one of the NPC's killed early game after getting L

Spoiler

orettas

bone.

Spoiler

I told greirat that he could go look for items. The guide said that he would be ok in undead settlement but it didn't give me the option of where to send him. I think he might have went further and got killed because I don't have patches yet

.

Well in Bloodborne they changed it so that you could be any level or gear setup and matchmake regardless

It would just scale the other players to the Host

DS3 does this too? Seems janky sometimes

Yeah I got summoned as a blue sentinel last night to a lower level game and my damage was reduced.

Oh snap so you can summon 3


Can anyone test the summon limits in each area? We had ZERO success summoning 2 phantoms for the

He'll come back after you beat a boss or two I think.

I beat C

G

before. Man he definitely hit the gym

since the tutorial

. Moveset was one of the coolest I've seen. The

was bullshit to dodge though. Plus he can legit combo you after you get knocked in the air. Fucking crazy

 

[deoee]

This is the first Dark Souls where I use items

 

[PensivePen]

On the N

Spoiler

ameless King

boss fight and it is giving me a real rough time. Probably the most difficult boss I've faced so far. I can get through the first half basically without taking damage but once the delay on attacks in the second half coupled with the fact that he doesn't always follow through on his full combos is making it really hard to predict.

I've just managed to beat

High Lord Wolnir and pass the forcefield into Irithyll

. How far into the game am I? I'm not sure if I've missed any bosses or areas so far? I've killed

Spoiler

Iudex, Vordt, Greatwood, Sage, Deacons, Abyss Watchers and Wolnir.

I noticed there's a hidden pathway under the wooden bridge before

[/SPOILER]

Yeah I'm still getting to grips with the lore but

Spoiler

Pontiff is mentioned quite a bit and it seems he has links to other areas. Hopefully we'll see him get fleshed out some more in the DLC, although I wouldn't really want to fight him again. That battle was one of the hardest in the game for me

[SteamyPunk]

Bump

You'll be able to buy all the upgrade materials eventually so I wouldn't stress out over it too much.

 

[80s Bad Guy]

hay guyz this game is pretty good.

boosting luck just a little seemed to really help with drops, or maybe it's just...actual luck. lol

 

[Retrozocker]

Anything good through there?

Spoiler

Its one of the two bigger optional areas yes.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Kind of surprising how many people I have encountered that summon help the first time they do a boss fight. I just wish they would skip the damn cutscenes.

 

[Dimmle]

Tip for using spoilers: give some quantitative indication of how far you are in the game outside of your spoiler tag or provide context in another way so that we know whether the spoiler is safe on an individual basis.

Also jeers to hosts who hide while their Blue Sentinel does all the work. Cowards!

 

[Rhaknar]

so about that easily missable secret / optional zone, have I missed it yet, should I go there, whats going on? Just finished

and now I guess I have to go to the

but I want to know what this zone you guys are talking about is.

It always surprises me as well. I tend to give the boss a few tries at least before I enlist help.

Cam for the

(last lord of cinder) was a little annoying indeed, but the fight itself was not too bad I think.
Lack of targeting reminded me of MH4U/MHX where you lose the "lock on" when monsters dive or some such haha. Felt equally dis-oriented.

there are

that you could easily miss

the first early on

is below the bridge in carthus catacombs. hit the bridge to make it fall and it becomes a ladder

the second is

access through the bottom of the dungeon. but you need to progress further to unlock the necessary "keys"

 

[robotzombie]

Butchers Knife any good? At first glance it has an A for STR and it also seems to have a nice and speedy moveset for such a big weapon.

Worthwhile?

 

[Ricker]

Anyone try co-op with the White Soapstone yet ?...trying with a friend,it says the client(me who has defeated the boss)needs to use the Stone and the host(friend who hasnt kill boss) is suppose to see the sign so I can join his game,he summons me I guess...we have the password set and all...nothing happens...we tried a few combinations of that but nothing...this is on PS4.

i practically went through the game without any problems but this boss seems impossible

ok read this if you want to know exactly where it is. don't if you want to figure it out for yourself.

there is a place at the bottom of irithyll dungeon where you see a bunch of dead people and a dragon sitting down. you access the secret zone by interacting with that place.
