been like that since the game launched in Japan, something clearly doesn't work properly.
takes a while to get DMB but it's worth it, great buff and with 50 Faith you get a lot of bonus AR. pretty much what I've been using the whole time for PvP.

yeah im taking my swweeat time just finished the deep with 20 hours on and only 1 invasion it was laggy as shit too... 😞
thanks. time to go exploring
I wish there was an option to keep summons on but turn off invasions tbh, it's not fun having to bail to a boss room or bonfire
How'd ya break the fight eh?
In general I've found grab attacks in DS3 to be the least egregious grabs in the series. Easiest to dodge, least damage when they land, mostly. Maybe I never got hit by a bad one.

You've got about 20s before the other one joins in. You'll have to be super aggressive
Did you go all Russian mob on the trouble maker, set an example out him?
You can pull one alone.
Abyss Watchers as second boss? Don't complain when you speedrun the game like that lol.
You missed:
Deadwood Tree thingy in Undead Settlement
Crystal Sage in Farron Woods
Stray Demon in Farron Woods
The entire Cathedral of the Deep area

Ember up, summon someone to help you out. Either after that last bonfire or there's usually a few at the bottom of the ladder.
Now in F
K
. Level 34. Lot of good items in here. Finally have enough strength/dex to use my Flamberge. I upgraded it to a Fire Flamberge with one of my extra Fire Gems. I'll try it out for a while, I like the damage I do with it so far. Also finally upgraded my Pyromancy Flame to +3.
Now also 16 hours into the game.
The only issue I've ever had is getting summoned when I have the blue sentenials covenant on. Never once summoned yet. Ironically have been invaded like 4 times now while wearing that. lol
arron
eep

Same. I'm still lowish level of lv 30s, so maybe easier for me and where I am (still early game). But I have no issue. I see co-op signs everywhere too.

Have you equipped it in your inventory?
Lmao.
Wasn't trying to speedrun tho.
The rest of the area was pretty easy, so i thought i was on the right track.
I don't see anything.. Does he give you an item? I don't have it for some reason..
Edit: nm thanks. Lol there is a covenant slot.. Never knew that

Dark sword is probably one of, if not the very best,

Haha yeah my friend made the same mistake, he realised he wasn't actually part of any covenenant after about 10 hours of play time

I asked late last night, but didn't see an answer so I'll try again:
Yesterday the game showed up on my Xbox with no record of me having bought it. Anyone know how that's possible?

Craft Macaroni & Cheese style:
- Go down the ladder and pull the visible one with an arrow.
- Climb back up the ladder about to the top of the decorative arch on the wall.
- Wait until the crocodog is right under you and *tap circle/B*
- PLUNGE ATTACK FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE!
- Repeat.
You can heal on the ladder, as well.
Invading works instantly no problem, it's just the stupid watchdogs covenant that doesn't work.
Not possible on regular pacing, you have to fight it before
Vorltd. Basically summon the katana guy, but take it to fight the Dancer. He of course will die, but if you log off and log in again, and summon him again, he's practically invincible, and can solo her.
Pls don't do it if you never fought the legit way because that boss is awesome.
Yes I agree they're the ones with less damage and more obvious, but the hitboxs are still fucked.

The estus flask ring seems like the epitome of chug to win. I basically just healed myself through the first Lord fight it was kind of a bummer. I don't think I'm overleveled at 40 for the fight, but what do I know.
It used to work great for me, as well as summons and everything else, but the last two days have been terrible for some reason. I might be able to invade like one or two times in one hour now. It's weird and I don't know why it's happening.

I can't believe I had trouble with
Did anyone else go to
before going to
?
Deacons of the deep lol. Just hit them all really hard.
Did anyone else go to
Cathedral of the Deep
Farram Keep
I've only ever been able to get the Watchdogs covenant to work when I'm actually around the Farron Keep area. Not sure if that's a requirement or that's just how it turned out in my game; after it didn't seem to be working while wearing the badge in other areas, I just stayed around Farron Keep/Old Wolf bonfire areas to wait for a summon.

Are you talking about the Red Eye Orb or the Red Sign SoapStone? I have not been able to invade using the Red Eye Orb nor be summon when I have
The Watchdogs or any Convent on
On PC and Ps4.
This is why I kept openly saying in thread savescum at the very end >_>
Both have worked for me. I've also been able to invade just fine while actively being in the Blue Sentinel covenant (please forgive me).

Just beat
after I'd say... 20 attempts? The joy of beating this boss solo might be the most satisfying I've felt in a Souls game. Jeez what a fight

I have gotten the message for invading as a watchdog like four times and all four timed out. I went through all of the Cathedral of the deep and Farron Keep with the symbol equipped. It's super frustrating since I want the rank 1 reward. I guess I can farm those goat things, but that's no fun.
The Red Eye Orb works fine. I couldn't find a soapstone though. Are people having any luck getting summoned as a Mound Maker? I can't understand why anyone would use one considering there are sunbro symbols everywhere.

Took me 5 or 6 tries to get it. The same rule always applies to all hard bosses in souls game. Just be patient and pick your shots. Don't get greedy and you'll be fine.
I will admit there were times were he was ruthless in his second form. Like almost infinite stamina n shit.
Edit: Also I wouldn't use a shield in this fight. You need as much damage as possible in the beginning so you don't waste flasks for the end. You gotta get the first part out of the way asap.
I'm somewhere around SL46, highest weapon upgrade level +5. I do have cross-region matchmaking on, yes. I also have that other summon sign option on unrestricted.

Level 61 at Pontiff, goddamn I feel overleveled. Just using the standard Knight build(shield, Heavy Longsword +6), and I'm just steamrolling through this whole area. Came close to one death, but the red invader was trash lol.
