There are towers that have flames at the top of them. There are urns with fire at the base of them, which you can put out (and also puts out the flames at the top of the towers).

It can be difficult to see the towers because of the foliage - there's a way to get on top of the bridge spanning the area to get a good vantage point and see where the towers generally are.

I knew exactly what it was going to be before looking at it. I posted a message with "fear ahead" when I was there.

Hey all. I have Dark Souls III ready to go, but it's been a while since I've completed one and two so I would like to take a dive into the lore before getting started on this one. What are some of the best videos for that out there? Thanks.

The first two fires are dead easy, just keep going kinda straight, they look like little wash basins.....the third one is left of the fire, easy way I found was find the left wall and stick it

I'm planning a Faith based female char, can you get [npc spoilers]

Sirris's armor

?

Yep

 

[Fakeknowledge]

But you don't need to cure it at all. I'm a bit confused what the issue is.

If you just want to look human, just buy purging stones for 4.5k each.

Life saver. So are there no drawbacks at all besides the look? That's what's bothering me, i've been wasting a ring slot with the look-human ring.

 

[The Lamp]

I need advice.

I'm early in the game and I chose Assassin. I'm trying to build up magic because I used to always play Melee. But it seems like there aren't any decent spells at the beginning but soul arrow and you can't really beat any of these mobs by standing behind and soul arrowing them, so I have to balance Melee and Magic for now.

What skills should I invest in? Intelligence + Strength + Vitality or what?

I feel like I'm wasting my souls.

 

[Parmenide]

Yep

Fantastic news! Thank you.

Healing curses from them doesn't fuck up that quest. Healing the 'thing' you get from taking the levels will.

Is there an unlimited use item to invade? I kinda wanna try some PvP now that I've finished the game.

 

[SoraanTribal]

Did I just fuck up the Yoel quest line?

Spoiler

I read on the wiki that healing a curse before you receive five free levels from him will result in his death.

Is that true?

I got all 5 levels and he still died once the "friend" of his came. So I dunno.

You'll get Heavy Soul Arrow soon enough, and it's great.

Him dying doesn't ruin the quest line. Healing the curse does. At any point if you heal that curse before the end of the quest line, it's done.

[KarneeKarnay]

Im in the swamp area, and I dunno where to go next.

I read the things on the floor and it say to extinguish 3 fires?

Yep. Where you see the message telling you, go across the swamp and up the stairs. You can't miss them.

Okay do some enemy players have unlimited stamina? Me and my friend just got invaded by 2 players who legit never stopped running or attacking. They never ran out of stamina in any fight and we could never hit them.

There are two items that grant stamina gain increase. A ring and the crest shield. Other than that there are consumables the rapidly regain stamina.

Not quite.

Spoiler

Yoel dies no matter what, make sure you get the five levels done as soon as you can. Hollowing 22 is the number required for all five, I believe.

If you ever cure the Dark Sigil, quest is over. You can Purge the symptoms with a stone, but never cure it.

 

[OniBarubary]

I'm dying laughing at the number of streams of this I've seen where they don't level or sell a ton of shit in the beginning just to buy the 20000 key and go

Is that the area where the giant is sleeping on the ledge? If so, just drop down the hole to close to the entrance to that area. It puts you on the other side of him without waking him up.

Joined Rosaria's Figners, Sirris gets pissy. Guess I'm not joining Mound-Makers this go-around, screw your cryptic entry, selective-covenant ass.

Time to head to the Catacombs of Carthus, hope there isn't more plotlines I fuck up along the way.

 

[ScottSullivan]

I don't know why I haven't been able to crack this over multiple games, but can someone fill me if poison weapons can ever actually be good? I infused my sellswords with poison because I figured, hey, faster hits, rack up the poison meter, might be good for large enemies or bosses! But it seems like I can never actually poison anything...

No problem, was having the same issue until I looked in to one of those holes and realized what was going on. Glad I could help.

I can't really tell you about this in this game but in Dark Souls 2 I played a bow only playthrough and my strategy for most bosses was to pelt them with poison arrows until the damage started ticking and swap to something a bit heavier. I know some people would use a fast weapon to apply poison as well. It does take a good few hits though, so its hard to tell.

OMFG.. the dark sword drop rate must be .00002 or something ...😞

Wait, is that sword special? I killed some dude in the poison swamp area last night and he dropped a dark sword. I put it in my stash since I'm using a +3 Uchigatana. Should I switch to using the dark sword?

no. Well I mean you can, but this isnt a mmo where some secret ultra rare sword is better than others. And the dark sword isnt even rare that dude is having bad luck, I got a ton when I was farming tongues

No drawbacks at all.

Just used a purging stone, she back. I thought i'd have to restart that character for a moment then. Thanks.

Ok thanks. I've never played an RPG that tells you so little. I had to watch a YouTube video last night, 16 hours into the game, to figure out the keyboard controls for using a weapon skill. It took me about 10 hours into the game to figure out how to jump. (*_*)
