I use the ring just because it looks really cool. Invisiflip is probably the new ninja flip.

Yeah this. There's a clink and slight flash to indicate. They can be awkward to hit with a small weapon too.
Dual blades are awesome. I found a very interesting set that I won't spoil but they had a moveset that really tempted me to switch to them, alas the scaling was completely all over the place. I just feel a bit of regret for not going STR and picking something with S scaling, but I've been meaning to switch it up and try a different build for a while, it doesn't seem like I picked the best time to do it though. I'd look up what weapons scale best for DEX but with only a little bit left I figured I'll rough it out to the end and not spoil what's left.
Well I finished the Cathedral. That was pretty anticlimactic considering the entire thing took me hours. I think I've had my fill of Dark Souls for a long time. What's this btw about a liar/troll there? I encountered nobody like that.
edit: Oh
. He trolled me earlier in the game so I guess that's why it didn't see him now.
I also killed a person in the Firelink shrine.
Did this even matter?

I also killed a person in the Firelink shrine.
I don't even know her name, but she told me we would be enemies the next time we met due to a covenant I was in, so I killed right there and then to save time.

Been avoiding DS3 threads for the most part, but I have to say this game is fucking excellent so far. I was feeling franchise fatigue after Bloodborne, but damned if this isn't a step up in every way. Just going through
and appreciating the amazing level design (especially coming from
).

Would I be wrong in thinking that if I'm going for a dex/int build I'd be better off using a sharp infusion so I can still buff my weapon with a magic weapon spell?

Beat the final boss, I guess. Just one question about a thing:
these firekeeper's eyes, can I still do anything with them without having to go through a NG+? I gave them to her after I first found them, but answered 'no' and left her alone until right before the final boss. Then I stabbed her and took the eyes back >_>. Now she's alive again, and I still have the option to give them to her. I linked the fire, if it makes any difference.
Does that mean I have to fuck with more of those

I just lured him up the stairs hit him a few times, let him go back down and repeat. It's kind of cheap, but the first time, I had to fight him and an army of skeletons, and I was not having that.

Yo Level design in P

The skeletons can help to kill him, activate all the skellys and let them loose on the demon.

Wow. Thanks! Beat it without taking a hit doing it that way on the first try. I have no qualms with cheesing enemies. 😀 I left a "try luring it out message" that will hopefully help some others.
I'm also really digging Uchigatana now that I've got it at +4. Switched tot it from a +4 Claymore. I'll need to probably look into respecting at some point though to take a few points out of strength and vitality to dump in dexterity.
Anyway, quitting for now at the start of

Yes, although you can avoid them pretty easily also

Is it worth putting points in dexterity early on for the Katana?
Apparently I completely skipped a boss. You're supposed to do CS before AW? I didn't even see CS anywhere. What bonfire should I start at? This is the second boss I've missed without realizing it, the game is definitely different from the past Dark Souls games that basically railroaded you to a specific boss.

I'm really liking the katana so far. The weapon skills for it make 2 handing really viable.

So I've encountered what seems to be a PvP invasion exploit in the swamp (and probably any area with an elevator):
If an invader takes an elevator and doesn't move from the step/trigger thing, they can effectively stand there forever until one side gives up, since the levers will be nonfunctional until the button reverts back to neutral (with no one on it). It sucks. And From wouldn't even let me drop attack him because past a certain point, fall becomes an instant death.

No item needed in this game. Hit the start button or right side of touch pad and it's the option second from the right next to the one you use to save and quit.

Is the hollowing cosmetic or
is there a health reduction as in previous games. If it's purely cosmetic then I'll gladly take the free levels. I usually have my face covered anyway, lol. Can you just keep dying by falling off a cliff or something, to cheese it?

I just beat the
a little while ago, and I'm currently level 42. Still rolling with the default Knight Armor. Is it time to upgrade to something else? My concern is that heavier stuff would make my dodge rolls slower and I'd rather avoid that if possible. I'd put more points into my vitality to increase my carry weight, but it seems like such a slow grind to get to a decent carry weight. Opinions?

Cosmetic only, except the sidequest connected to it links to one of the endings. But otherwise there's no downside, except the zombie look.

Level 42 at crystal sage? Wtf
I always go endurance and vigor first to comfortable lvls. I hold off on main dam stats, dex, str and etc., for later. Dam increase are faster by just upgrading the weapon.

is the final boss?
soul of the lords
Just beat him. Seems like a DS1 similar chose your ending. Walk out, or link the flame. Any extra gameplay if i chose either or?
Finally (FINALLY) getting the hang of it after many hours. Took me much longer to get into this than Bloodborne, which I felt like I hopped ight into after playing DS1. Game is pretty good, but there is something that just feels "off" about everything and I have no idea how to explain it.. Feels like this game came before Bloodborne instead of after.

It....kind of is. IMO it's the best ending of the game. Kind of dark but feels canon to me. It's favorable to YOU is what I'll say haha.
Yeah. They're optional but they drop large titanite.

I tried loads of invasions, its screwed up in this game. Everyone I invade has a damn team of phantoms waiting to destroy me. Why is there no one playing this alone? Sometimes I get an invade ally too and it becomes an all out war, which is fun but I miss the one on one combat. Also the wolf covenant seems to never work for me, none of the protect covenants have worked once for me. DS2 did online better.
I really don't get the elemental stats now. So I have a fire scythe, very powerful, total damage is more than my katana. I fought this creature that was weak to fire, I used a fire spell and it had huge damage. I use my fire scythe and I do less damage than my plain katana, how does that make any sense. I have a dark weapon, seems no one is weak to that, I continuously do less damage than I should with it. The elemental system is just poor in this series. Is this like DS1 where everything is weak to lightning.
The level design is fantastic though, best in the series.

Man, when I get summoned for a boss of a first timer, it almost always ends with them getting killed :v. I wished the would try it once or twice first...
Almost any weapon can be made viable for most or the entire game.
However if you didn't really plan on making your character mostly dexterity
you will find options with the Smith to make the scaling work with other stats....you will still need the minimum required of whichever stat the weapon calls for
