The main reason why I never cared for Souls PvP
Until it's close to 1:1 I won't care much for it
Technically yes
Gone!

Where can I get more gold resin stuff to put on my right handed weapon? I'm still at the high wall of Lothric. Do enemies drop it?

It was pretty sweet when it was just the Japanese launch. Once they opened it up to American internet connections...

Keep in mind, destroying one of his bulb growths will cause a huge amount of damage, even though every individual hit you land doesn't do much. He enters phase 2 if you destroy his front part. Try attacking his periphery parts and not necessarily his stomach at first. I think you can manage to attack his right thigh or right front arm/branch -- some of the parts are invincible/covered until phase 2. The periphery parts "explode" for massive damage after less damage than his front -- took my +2 Longsword about 4-5 hits on each, so you can kind of get a head-start on damage prior to phase 2 in the chamber below. Even in phase 2, probably target his periphery parts first. Right thigh, right front arm/branch, rear left arm/branch, and his back side. I find that most problems come from trying to attack in the front too eagerly, when you could be getting easy, big damage on his periphery parts. If you see a bulb like the ones on his front, it very likely can be destroyed, and with much less damage. EDIT: Also, try going after additional parts while he's in his post-explosion stun state. I've managed to stunlock him to death this way if you can coordinate with the other players and attack separate parts at the same time.
Used this tactic and Sunbro-assisted like 15 times on this boss. Believe I only failed 5 times, and not of my own fault (summoner would die).

down. Was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was once it figured out what to do given I thought that area was a big difficulty spike.

Okay I can't find that bastard greirat in Firelink. Where is he
I think he's to the left of the blacksmith.
Edit: Can someone answer me this (quoting for new page)

So I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be going next. I beat (early-ish game still I think)
Not sure what to do next. Oh and was there anything else in that area with the
the big tree blob thing in the Undead Settlement and found Siegward.
big flame miniboss where Seigward helps you kill it besides a couple rings (Flynn and the Stamina one)?

GD Wolnir and the whole damn catacombs. Damn, quite a difficulty spike. The run back is annoying. Wish you could just run up to him from the lower bonfire. I wonder if you can shoot the bridge down with a bow from the bottom? Hmm.

I have SUCH a bad memory lol. I went down there by accident once because I meant to go up instead, then forgot completely about it. Thanks!
You do know you can open the gate next to the skeleton pile, right? Then running to the boss is a matter of dodging the skeleton ball, running through the tunnel, across the bridge and you're there in no time
Nope, tried it. Thankfully I killed that puke on my second try.
I found it hilarious Miyazaki designed the boss,
Curse Ridden Greatwood with his main weakness being sacks in the pelvic and ass region. IIRC Greatwood is an optional boss fight.
Probably mid game spoilers. I just beat
The Abyss and his Watchers

Where are you guys running to him from? Once you open the gate next to the bridge, it's only a 50 second sprint to the Boss from the bonfire.
The Boss himself is annoying though, he's taken me out about six times, so I'm going to give up for now and try again tommorow.
If I kill them by hitting them in the front, does the curse not go away? Because I did that and the curse didn't go away until I died.

Alright, all achievements obtained on Steam.
Second time, after the platinum on PS4.
Time to take a break and wait on information for all equipment in the game so I can get/farm everything.

It'll do that for a while, then eventually your entire body adjusts and the only thing you know is an empty, hollow feeling.
The first boss in any Dark Souls always makes me think I'm going to have a heart attack, then I bite it a few times and I'm right back to my usual, steady "go fuck yourself" heart rate.
Explain to me how you do that please

Haven't had much time to get through the game yet, still in Lotrhic.
Is it just me or are these Lotrhic Knights a PITFA? They seem way harder than the Black Knights from previous souls games.
Try to block an attack and they throw like 3 quick-succession shield bashes that leave me winded and open , two hits and I'm dead.
Meanwhile someone told me to kick and it'd open a riposte, I tried this and kicking does jack all to them.
Can someone tell me,
I say in this early stage of the game I've already lost about 15k souls thanks to those damn knights.

Is there a bonfire anywhere near the big armored guy with wings on his armor? Having to fight the knight + all the axe guys, have 6k souls and really don't want to lose them).

The ultimate estus achievement doesn't seem to work for me, blacksmith won't let me upgrade anymore so I'm assuming I'm on max and its bugged out?
Contraption does not move.
Well I'm certainly annoyed now. I'm at the
What the shit am I supposed to do here.
BTW I think this area is the first time I've really felt a Souls-like difficulty in this game. I've lost like 20k souls just dying several times.

Cathedral, near a covenant bonfire.

Any mercenary tips? I got the kitana, but still like the starting spellswords or whatever they're called... Starting with a spin, then l2, followed with strong attack seems pretty good.... Any tips are appreciated
You need to be aggressive against them. They stagger really easily. Wait for an opening, combo them, and make sure you have enough stamina left to roll back and put some distance between you and them. Rince, repeat. For the tower shield dudes, try backstabbing them after they attack, otherwise they'll backward bash you. Don't bother kicking, you'll get hit instead most of the time.
There's a shortcut after the winged fat dude, to the right when you get to the big stairs.

Are you at
15
If so, and you didn't get the achievement pop up, I guess it bugged out :/
Eeeh, I wish it had a thrusting move with it cause it's pretty much just a not-as-good Greatsword. The "special" moveset doesn't seem that great.
The greataxe is pretty sweet tho

Yeah, goddamn it Steam :/
I feel so mad that I didn't use the soul of the second boss to get that awesome frost bitten mace. I don't think this ring does any noticeable healing
Edit: how does drawing out true strength work?
Once you do it, you'll look more and more undead every time you die, basically becoming a Hollow from the prior games. Every 5 times you die (I think it's 5) you can get another level "free" after you get five levels...stuff happens. If you don't reverse the effects before you beat the game you get an ending pertaining to your condition....
So it's the freakin' weekend. What's everyone thinking of the game now that it's been out a few days? Better than two? Best yet? Good in its own right?
I think this game for me personally made me realize I prefer the methodical style of combat in Souls than in Bloodborne. Even though I always play dex builds, 3 not excluded, I like to have the buffs of shields, and also the knowledge that I can block if I want to.
