I would, but I can't get on my PS4 right now. If you're using passwords, though, you should be able to summon people regardless of level.

It's a Soulsborne game, They are all so good.
Damn, that sucks. I have no idea the point of the slow water in that level, then. In the swamp I get it, you can totally avoid it. But there you have to move past to get to the end.
I love the dynamic nature of being a mad phantom. I've been summoned so many times by peoples either wanting to duel or needing help with enemies/invaders. I'll never attack the host unless they attack me first, but the idea of either of us turning on each other at any time always has me (and the host) on edge for the entire experience. It's fantastic, and has provided me with some amazing co-op experiences that I haven't had with any other Souls games. Just last night, someone summoned me and I quickly found him fighting another mad phantom. I assumed he was hastely summoning anyone he could because he was pretty outmatched against this phantom. I run in and backstab the phantom - who either didn't see me or assumed since I was also mad, I would help him - and easily vanquished him. The Host bowed, and I left knowing my job was done. Great times. I think I've spent more time putting down my summon sign and helping others than actually doing my own quests.
Side question -- can anyone recommend a good PVP guide, or even an items guide? Im currently using a +2 raw broadsword, but would like to know if it's worth finding a new sword or just upgrading this one. For PVE and PVP.

You can
disable the "archer" when you get up there
with much more "depth" than I had imagined
Aye, the key word is "should". Been having a few problems getting this to work today because of being unable to see the other person's sign, even with passwords in place. So, I'm sticking to near-ish my player level to reduce the risk of it messing up again.
If you're around in the next four hours and I've still got the items, feel free to PM me.

I'm at the C
and went up an elevator. I just went up against those
where you can fall to your death. I went back outside all walked all the way down, but it's a dead end. Am I missing something or is the boss somewhere else?

Just wait till later in the game, haha!!
Burning the Bone Shards increases the power of your Estus Flasks.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
This game is MASSIVE.
Also I guess I am totally locked into the dark path. Things... got very dark. So dark. I didn't expect things to go like this. To get so damn dark.

Boss is not there but look for a ledge to drop down in that area...

Man, I'm having a blast jolly cooperating with people on W
. It's weird seeing people who haven't tried the boss yet summon me though. W/e the boss is fun and not too difficult, so it's perfect for farming souls and medals *^*. Anyone know how some people manage to have a four man party? Or how sometimes there is two people with host in the name? Soooo active too, it's great.

later? I thought I was about to finish heh

Is there a rusted iron rung in this game?
There's definitely a
boss there. In fact, you won't be able to enter a later area without defeating the Cathedral boss

How do I do that? Also how do I beat the thingYou can. It's a pretty cool area actually,disable the "archer" when you get up there. Pun intended I guess.with much more "depth" than I had imagined

lure out the small guys one at a time and kill them off. then lure the big dudes into the shallow water and kill them. once dead they are gone for good. they are super easy, the only thing to watch for is the big stomps
Quick question about pyromancy -- when they say that it scales with Faith and Int, does that mean you can pump points into either, or you must put points into both? I've been mostly using melee with pyro backup, but I'd like to start leveling up my pyro -- it's really fun!
Also, my fire gem infused longsword is starting to feel a little weak, since it doesn't scale with anything. I'd like to figure out soon whether it makes sense to switch to a weapon that will scale with Faith or Int. Haven't found anything that I like yet, so I figure I'll have to re-infuse my longsword to get scaling.

Oh god, what they did to sorcery!!
Why Miyazaki, why!!!
Yeah thats why I chose Pyro still, I miss the ammo spell mechanics than the crappy mana management and a melee weapon because you will ran out of mana always
Thank you.
Everytime I farm Darkwraiths that carry them, I only pick up Cracked Red Eye Orbs.
Is this because I haven't levelled any of my Luck stat yet?
LOL what the fuck, why is there a bonfire after thebonfire, its literally a few feet away. I can see the other one from where I amdragonslayer armour
They're doing the same thing they do in Bloodborne, where they give you a bonfire after every boss no matter how far away the next proper one is
You don't *need* to have played the previous games, but I'd highly recommend doing so if you want to fully understand what's happening - it's much more of a direct sequel than DS2 was.

ok... so one of the NPC's did something not nice to me in terms of one of their "abilities"
I had no idea what "True power" was, I still don't. I was comparing the soul comparisons for leveling and noticed it cost nothing, so I tested it out and did it once and the mother fucker went back in time so I never wore any sunscreen
I assume there is a way to reverse hollowing, I just haven't found the item yet

So... this game is basically a more direct sequel to Dark Souls I and not Dark Souls II? I assumed it's before Dark Souls II considering a bunch of old places that exist in Dark Souls are still kicking around in this game. Don't say anything if it gives away a major plot point.

I don't know that area, but I assume it is between worlds so each will have a bonfire. Although they are relatively close, they belong to different areas/worlds. A boss' bonfire will be close to the nest new area's bonfire.

I think it's hard to know for sure right now. You'll know enough to make sense of what's going on, but fully understand it might not be so simple even for people who played everything lol
You can go across and around
the worm and reach the boss bonfire, and continue your way through the tunnels until you get to a couple ladders that take you up to the area where the arrows come from. Or, you can drop down an opening in the "middle" of the lake area, and avoid part of the maze, until you reach the aforesaid ladders

I got through everything in the area, including theworm, but thebossstill stands.worm
Would you like to know how?
And you won't run out of spell charges in previous games? I don't see the exact problem. You can allocate more ash flasks for a reason.

I played the game nearly all day yesterday and it's great. I have one thing I'm worried about, though. I've noticed that two NPCs are no longer there. I'm referring to
Anyway, without spoiling anything, is this normal or intentional or do I need to be worried?
the bodyguard for the "firekeeper" and some woman I saw sitting down once. She was wearing some pretty neat armor but honestly, nothing she said or did stood out. She was sorta mean, I guess?
