He scavenges places you unlock in the game. So yeah, you should say yes. Specially because the inventory updates after he's been out.

It's not "easy" but it's very straightforward. I haven't beaten it yet, I switched to HSGS and upgraded it a bit, now I'm destroying with every swing
Don't know if you've noticed but curses are caused by the tall dudes "polluting" the air. Kill them (easy backstabs) and the curse meter goes down. I haven't experienced the healing, but yeah seriously just keep swinging. The only struggle is that it's easy to get stuck in a pinball scenario
Man, I knew this game would be not for the weak of heart, but sheesh, I'm constantly stressing out, lol.
I'm the type of gamer that likes to analyse situations and take time for choices. It's why I like games like Assassin's Creed and the Batman Arkham games, in which you often have the possibility to monitor your enemies, sneak up on them, strike and hide. I used Eagle Vision and Detective Mode all the time
That sort of thing kind of hard to do in DS3 so far, but I'm learning. I beat the first boss in one go, so I guess I don't completely suck at it. I did have just a tiny, tiny little bit of health left though..
I'm finding the atmosphere and graphics overwhelmingly good, by the way. It's oozing dedication.
Sounds like ypu should have started as an Assassin. They have a spell that allows you to sneak up into enemies, it's very useful.
heey you're here
Was it really a year ago that we did a bloodborne OT thing?
Most of the regulars from that aren't really here :<

So absolutely no one knows what a shattered covenant icon means? Clearly it must mean I can't use the covenant anymore. So anyone with way of the blue and is hollow is it shattered too?
He wants to go to areas to find loot. He won't bother other npcs. You should let him go the first time as I think he always comes back. The second time will require some conditions to be met for him to survive and come back. The third time he always dies, or the conditions to prevent him from dying are unknown. If he does die on the 2nd or 3rd trip, you can find his ashes in the zone he went to scour. The ashes can be given to the handmaiden for his items.
Go into the keep behind you in the water. There is a path that leads above the item, where you can drop down.
Dark Souls bro! You gotta be patient. It chips away and he'll keep swinging away and doing the same things. You just gotta be careful about the mist and his left arm slamming down some magic AOE attack. But it's ALL the right side. (at least for me)

Please help.... NPC in Firelink spoiler:
I sent that pilgrim to Firelink. I think he offered to teach me magic or something. Since I don't need that I visited him some hours later.... and he seems to be dead! But there is no loot whatsoever. Is there again a NPC in the hub murdering my friends?!
After giving it some thought, I have to say I would rank this towards the lower end of the Souls series. That still means that it is a great game, obviously, but it moves just a bit too much away from what I love about the series. If you are only playing through this game once, you will have a great time, but on replays, since you are completely limited in terms of area progression (except for some very minor exceptions such as choosing to tackle one of two areas first) it is a lot less exciting. Honestly, it's kind of shocking how linear the overall progression is - I'm not talking about each individual area, obviously, I'm talking about the world design. There's no longer any moments like in the first Dark Souls where you can run to the Catacombs to get the Great Scythe within the first 15 minutes, or the Great Club in Lower Blighttown with the Master Key. This sort of sequence breaking was absolutely ingenious, and it's a shame that they've been slowly removing this aspect from the series.
I'm also really not a fan of the story/lore, which struggles from the same problems as The Force Awakens - it seems like there is a really strong attempt to pay homage to the original, but obviously the second time around there is a lot less impact. Thankfully, the art is absolutely spectacular, as well as the soundtrack.
END GAME SPOILERS, do not read unless you have beaten the game:

so if I understand correctly, does this mean that Anor Londo sank over the centuries in between these games, becoming a valley in the process? Because if the Grand Archives are in fact Duke's Archives (which seems likely, due to the Seath related items and the general look of the area), then they seem way too high up above the Cathedral. Also, the Demon Ruins are extremely close to Boreal Valley, which makes it seem that this is the case.
If I understand correctly, the final boss is every person who has linked the flame, including your character from DS1 (which is why they can use all the different types of abilities from the series). Very cool, especially when the piano music kicks in that is similar to Gwyn's theme.

Ah, I see. But what about the skeletons he summons? He spawns them even in the first phase and they're the thing tripping me up. If I keep attacking him can I just stop that from happening?
I don't think so, at least as far as mimics and walls go. There is one
at the top of firelink shrine

Even though the game shipped with the game disc loose, I'm impressed that they'd give us an actual disc soundtrack. Can't wait to play.
He always dies after a certain point of game progression. Don't remember exactly when, but after a particular boss.
Further info/spoils:
If you accept his gift (free levels) 5 times before he dies another npc will show up in his place.

Quick item Question. What should I do with the
Fire Keepers Soul
Lumination

Third boss down. Having a great time. I'm loving all the callbacks so far.

Give it to the person the item is named after

The easiest way to beat him is to keep your distance at all times and hope that he goes for the lightning attack and then rush in and back off. You can easily take out a quarter of his health during his channeling.

Those gargoyle enemies in RoS are annoying as hell when there's more than one at a time. There's a group of about half a dozen of them right before the second bonfire. I'd usually draw one a two off to deal separately and to thin the heard with a bow but don't have the stats for one. They seemed to spring from nowhere. Got gangbanged repeatedly by about 4 of them when I thought there was only a couple left and lost a ton of souls in the process.
I noticed the little mushroom guys from DS2 just past that, seems like another huge area just after Undead Settlement which was also huge.
The tree boss I killed first time, but I thought it was a cool boss and is probably what Bed Of Chaos should have been before it was made in to Dragon God mk2.

Favorite part too. Cheers!
Early covenant question
I beat the tree boss before joining the Mound Makers covenant. I read something about having to join it later on now. How much later, exactly? I want that katana
After you kill 3 lords of cinder. Just make sure you don't join Rosetta's fingers and stay on Yuria's good side until then.

Isn't Ludwig closer to a regular greatsword? Ultra is slower, with longer reach
The depressive dude from Firelink Shrine is gone.
don't tell me I got him Yurt'd lol
Check around outside.
You may find him around some tombstones
As you exit firelink, go left and you should find him.
Are you embered? The cracks in the icon show when you're embered. It has nothing to do with covenants.

Thanks, got it.
There's another item on top of the wall, in the castle just before you reach the third boss
Crystal Sage
You can't. It won't show comparisons to existing gear from shops, ever. Not even Armor slots where it is a clear 1-to-1 replacement.

They have to have lit their lantern and are targeting you. Just hustle and kill.
Said earlier in the thread that it's the hardest enemy in the game, including bosses. The snap/bite attack is brutal.

Ok I saw the option to do that and just wasn't sure if I would need it for something else. Thanks!
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So I held off on these games as I never got one around release and thus would miss out when they're at their prime in terms of the multiplayer features, but as a Dark Souls virgin what's some good beginner's advice to keep in mind? And more specifically, what are some good tips for Dark Souls III specifically?
Thanks.
