You can do either. I explored the latter first (lots of good items to be found) but didn't do the boss there yet. I went to the former and it is a good fun challenge.

are invaders getting credit if you die to a normal foe?

Up to you, whichever you're feeling to be honest.
Farron isn't too hard to go through but it's the usual swamp area misery and the boss is the hardest at this point in the game. Cathedral is more of a pain in the ass to go through but the boss seems a lot more manageable. The nice thing about the warp system is you can basically start one and check out after making some progress and getting some bonfires
Been playing for about 20 hours and so far the game is lacking cool looking lightweight armor (not counting your typical spellcaster robes etc), literally been playing in rags for the majority of the time. Now I could've missed something or I might find some later on but I'm just saying. Recently found some
but it looks like shit.

Just had the most interesting invasion experience. A guy invaded me and waited until i killed the enemys in the area so we could have an honorable duel, but every time i killed one another would spawn in 15, maybe 20 seconds. He waited every time until i finished the enemy, so the duel went off and on for about 5 minutes

Are there any other areas I can go to before
like hidden of side areas? Or an alternate path.

Man, my connection must be shit. Went into someone's game to help with a boss and he was all stationary slidey and I couldn't enter the fog gate and just watched from the other side as he died. Feel bad about that one

also why are those hanging mummies (with items) going back to their initial state once you're at a bonfire? there was one i chopped off just before the cathedral. once i went down to get it it was nowhere to be found.
Just had an awesome multiplayer moment a few minutes ago. So I'm on the
and lay down my mad Sign and get summoned pretty much instantly. I went into the Host's world with the intention of helping the guy out - it starts off on the right track. We start killing some enemies together, and have a jolly time. Host points in the direction of where he wants to go (or so I assume) and I turn around. He then backstabs me, and a duel ensues. I still don't want to attack him, but he's forcing my hand. We begin this duel on top of this tower overlooking the entire castle, and we're both evenly matched.
His world was then invaded by a red phantom, and we both decide to put our duel on hold. We race towards the red phantom in the distance, who happens to be a pyromancer, and start the next fight. This guy is dodging like no one I've ever seen, neither of us could hit the guy at all. His spells didn't seem very strong, but he was very fast. He knew that he couldn't beat us, so he kept running off along the wall to gather mobs of enemies to distract us, which didn't work so well in his favor. Finally, we cornered him inside a dark room with only one exit, aside from a long fall/ladder down. This is where he died. As the host was busy dealing with the rest of the mobs, I rush the pyro and somehow manage to get behind him and backstab him, and deal a large amount of damage. He was vulnerable, and we took advantage. No amount of rolling could save him, and he knew it. Thinking that he could parry my attacks, he tried to bash his shield against me - he failed. I've never won a PVP match in Dark Souls 3 yet, but I knew I had him here. I waited until made his move, then I made mine. And he was banished.
Sorry for the long post, this is really the first time I've had such a great co-op moment in Dark Souls before. I had to tell someone. This game is incredible, and I think I'll be sticking with the Mound-Makers for a while. Such a dynamic covenant.

welp 4.5 hours as a deprived. Decided to start over as a knight and made it back to where I was in less than 20 minutes.

You know the bridge to the previous boss? Cut it down.

How do you get summoned as a blue sentinel?

Already done. Do I just.. Jump?
You can't traverse the fog straight away, you hate to wait until the boss itself is engaged at which point you're given a prompt that says "critical battle may now be accessed", at which point you can traverse the fog.

Use it as a ladder. You have to be on the boss-side of the bridge.

You just equip the covenant item and.. that's it, you just wait. The icon on the top left will be flashing when you're in an area where you can be summoned.

Is this different from the item you get from the
woman who gives you the banner? Not sure if that item which summons people to your world if you're invaded is different.
just how much do you like Emma? I mean what the hell has she ever
done for you? 
really
Oh ok, got it. Thank you.
loljust how much do you like Emma? I mean what the hell has she everdone for you?really
she seemed nice enough..by dark souls standards...oh well

Yeah, that's a different item. That one lets you (automatically) summon the blue sentinels when you're invaded.

Ok then, guess I still need to find the other item then.

yea, it's a bug
i find it works best if you wait a few seconds after the "phantom xyz has been summoned" message appears before passing through the fog. I've been on the other end of it (summoned to help someone but couldn't get past the fog) and it's frustrating. you just sit there mashing x, stepping in and out waiting to get through but it never happens
Unrelated, I just got to the
demons soul prison level
it really makes me want a remake of demons souls....

What level are you? I've left sentinels and darkmoon equipped for at least 8+ hours on end and haven't been summoned to either yet. On the other hand, I can use a red eye orb and invade instantly.

Time just melts away in this game. I love it so much!
I can't wait to join the Sun Bros if they are still a thing...I assume so.
I've been helping people out with boss fights and its just great fun.
The small and frequent accomplishments in this game really goes a long way. Battling the early knights gave me great joy and the added benefit of grinding titanite shards.
Incredible gameplay and control. I'm taking my time with it and can't say enough kind things. Continues to be my favourite series of recent time.

Level 30, I just reached 8 hours played on this character. Messing around with the multiplayer stuff instead of progressing.
Fantastic enemies.They struck a really good balance with these enemies.Very tough but very fair.
I would imagine these knights would wreck new players pretty hard l ,because they were challenging and super robust to me coming off of BB DLC!

Could you tell me what your highest level equipped weapon is? I was exactly level 30 for most of this playthrough, and kept my weapon at +4, but was never summoned for at least 8 hours keeping sentinels equipped.
Holy hell. I just got invaded 3 times in short span! Two at the same time. One was NPC, which I was lucky the actual human person couldn't find me. Ended up killing them all. Last guy was a close call. Esp since during those other 2 invasions, I didn't rest, so had less estus flasks on me. Just funny having 3 invasions in short span of 5 minutes.. lol
