But that is how Greatswords should work. They are slow and take ton of stamina so if they don't stagger enemies they are worthless. Lot of enemies also dodge away or start their own combo you can't interrupt after two hits.

Happens to me sometimes, just quit the game and start it up again and you will be able to use the bonfire again.

The online features of this game are weird. Sometimes I'll try to interact with a bonfire after a summoning fails and it won't let me for about a minute or two or quit the game for even longer. You might be having a similar issue.

I though there might have been an element of pride in wanting to get it on your own. You wanna see if you can do it and if you're still at it you probably aren't satisfied yet. More often than not if you assemble a gang to take out a boss it's gonna end in a W. That you won't go ahead and do that implies that you might not want it to go so well? I dunno man.
Despite the time I took to finish the game I don't think I one-shot more than a handful of bosses. Even the stupidest ones I died on a number of times. Apparently I missed a couple zones too.

First time I fought that boss I got it down to low health so quickly that I started calling it Pinwheel to its face and then I died like two seconds later from a bombardment of magic. It was so dumb I had to laugh.
Sorry for calling you Pinwheel, pal.

I actually had trouble with this one. I didn't think they were supposed to be a pushover, at least not more than

You can be more specific.

Quick query:
Anyone have any experience with the Great Scythe? I'm wondering if it's like the amazing gs of 1 or the nearly useless gs of 2. I'll skip using it if it's got those wonky hit requirements from ds2, but it would be a neat throwback for me since it was the first weapon I finished ds1 with.
I know I could just find out, but I only have the one sharp gem. And not a lot of titanite either.

I would love to know please.

Yeah this surprised me too. Upgrading my dark sword to +5 helped but they still do insane amounts of damage, especially their Ice weapons. The range on the fire attacks is pure undistilled bullshit though what were they thinking.
I didn't have any trouble in this area with my Large Club. All of the enemies here have low poise.
Knowing From Software and experience from Bloodborne suggests that the frame pacing issue will always be there...

I died to curse both times because I ignored the guys channeling the curse spell lol.
Once I took them out it was easy.

Yeah, so far I haven't really encountered any story things from the previous games and either way the games take place hundreds of years apart so the stories are loosely connected. I hear there are callbacks but that won't stop you from enjoying the game or story, just missing a few things.
BTW. Farron ultra Greatsword is amazing for the Deacon fight. It what I use when helping people for that fight since the sweeping L1s just slice through everything and take out large crowds.
Oh whoops, I was actually thinking of a different boss, the
Crystal Sage
Incidentally, that one and
Deacons of the Deep
No, absolutely not. You will enjoy DS3 more than most of us, because you're basically new to the franchise. DS3 will offer a great amount of gameplay variation for people who played BB first.

Same! I feel like my progress hit a wall with the first 3 dudes that can stagger you while blocking and proceed to stun lock you to death in 3 quick hits.
I found the best method is to let them go past you with their animations and get in hits from behind.
Once you get the bonfire midway through the area though, things ease up a lot!

You need the tower key to get there or do the jumping trick

They probably did the tree jump. There's nothing up there though. I think there's something behind the tower if you wanna check there before you go

There was quite a few from Road of Sacrifice to Farron Keep. Like 8 I think. Then places like Carthus get 1.
It's in the area

Yeah, I mean it's going to be a fine balance either way. I just feel like they could bring it down a notch or two. Or bring up the poise of some enemies a notch or two.
I was JUST about to ask this. I gave her them, but now shes asking if I think
a world without fire is a good thing

Did you find the boss?

Late game. Is boss O
a required one or have I taken a wrong turn again? Almost beat it first time while suffering from toxic and the boss fight is fun, but it seems like another area I'm not gonna enjoy.
ceiros
nothing behind a fog gate yet. I suppose he's past this giant?
So my suspect brick wall wasn't actually a brick wall. I defeated P
quite easily once I used an ember and summoned Anri.
The next area though...
I ran past the archers and now I am really fucking lost. I went up an elevator tower thing and this knight with a spear fucked me up real good.
EDIT: I am a little drunk though.
