When it first happened, I thought it was such a sick spin on a boss fight
Can't say I've lasted very long in phase 2 though lol
It gets scary when your buddy gets rekt, so don't want to let them fight too much

This game! Soogood.gif
Farming covenant items is shockingly bad though. Will need to wait till I get some item find boosting equipment. Went 30 mins of farming without a wolf grass.

Is their no blood in the game or are the effects bugged? Like I notice sometimes when I fight I see what looks like "shadows" on my character sface and such, it doesn't look anything like blood/liquid though.
It's nothing at all like Bloodborne's style, which I thought surely they'd have used for this game.
As a whole the graphics of this game seem rather a step down to me compared to bloodborne, especially the lighting/blood effects and how they interacted with cloth and the environment.

I believe for
Yuria
used the level up option with Yoel 5 times total
Could be wrong about that, but it's what I did and it worked fine, yet a friend didn't and they didn't show up.

oh at least you keep the item like any other if you die, I thought you had to pick it up everytime. Can just go with it ready I guess
still dumb for the game it is tho
It's punishment for you
not keeping your dude alive. He can solo the giant, zero problems, if you got his questline fulfilled.
totally
But... the weapon is behind the boss.
I mean, equipping it before the fight is what I did after dying while fumbling through the weapon list midfight.

Can someone give me a tip on the
boss fight? I picked up the
in the boss room and I for the life of me can't figure out this fights mechanic. I know it wants me to use the
but I'm not exactly sure what to do with it. Its weapon art doesn't seem to do any damage to them at all.

The idea is that someone else is tanking that boss while you do it

Two-Hand it and hold L2/LT - it charges, and you use R1/RB to attack. Keep an eye on your stamina, do some avoidance if you're alone, and it'll whittle him down. Targeting distance, so if you can't lock on, don't unleash the beast.
Charge it up by holding the button.
It's worth noting you can prime a charge too. Hold L2 in a safe spot, then walk away, wait for another safe moment.

Hang back if you can, let the Hulk Hogan take care of Macho Man and co on the inside. Third one is on your side, sorta. Gives you breathing room.
Oooooh. That makes much more sense. Thanks! I shouldn't have much of a problem now!
I liked it.
I gasped at one point when I figured something out. My overall opinion on the lore in the game is "hmmmm... hmmm..." because I haven't finished replaying in English and I haven't dug into all the spoilers yet, but I do get the sense that Miyazaki's saving his best efforts for a new IP, which makes sense since Dark Souls 1 is so tightly wrapped up by the end of it's own story that it doesn't feel like it was designed to have much room for meaningful sequels, IMHO. I suspect that overtime, the story aspects will become more clear. There's certainly aspects of it I really, really like; the final boss is perfect if this really is the last Dark Souls game. There are other aspects that feel like fan service. I'm sure it'll grow on me honestly.
I'm just watching ENB's 3rd part to his DS3 walkthrough and he's saying that his friend told him to keep his full knight set on. I also rolled as a knight. Is he trolling or is there something to it like the fat official's hat in Demon's Souls?
Note that I just beat Vordt of the Boreal Valley so if it's too spoilery, then tell me so lol.

For anyone who used an ultra greatsword for the (7th boss spoiler
fight, how difficult did you find it?

Thank you friend. No idea how I missed it, I've explored that area pretty damn thoroughly, but I did see one magic item I couldn't get. Hmm.

Did you let P
atches act like a cunt and lock you in the top of Firelink? You gotta let him go Full Cunt first, then get out and humble him with words
I've got positive opinions on this, but discussions are at least gonna be fierce if people want to disagree with me.
U are really, really, really close if u found that place
I noticed it happened when I got around 10 points of hollowing and my character's physical appearance changed. No idea if it has any gameplay significance.

It's probably a scripted NPC invasion.

He wasn't. There even was a message saying "Here!" on the floor.
ugh you guys werent kidding. the transition from the
and the
is awful. well, how it just drops you there with no warning, no rest, and then it puts you back on the previous bonfire, not even a close one lol

do you want a hint?
sometimes a bridge is not just a bridge
more clear:
sometimes a bridge can also be a ladder.
answer:
cut that rope bridge in the catacombs, wait for it to stop, then climb down it.
Those free level ups aren't so free anymore are they?
Haha, I like this. Thanks. One host brought me down there actually I just kinda forgot about it.

Just some observations about side character questlines that I found interesting. Spoilers, obviously:
On my first playthrough, I never encountered patches either at firelink (yes, I went into the bell tower) or at the cathedral. I also never found siegward in the well, even though I did do the first part of his questline. But my second playthrough, I did everything in the same order and I DID encounter Patches at the Cathedral, but never at firelink. And after finding patches in the cathedral, I did find Siegward in the well, and finished his quest line. But patches never showed up at firelink shrine in his usual spot. I really have no idea what causes some of these things to happen.
