Oh, my bad. It's +6 actually. Such a great weapon it is too.

Thanks guys, managed to take them out on the next try. Then I went and finished up
Farron Keep
Abyss Watchers
Woof was the
fight hard for anyone?
I beat it on my first try, but I felt like the frame rate helped. I'm on XBONE and the frame rate would start to drop right before he starts swinging, gives me enough time to start rolling. Feel like it would be a pretty challenging fight at a solid 30 or 60fps.

How do you avoid getting cursed?
(early game)
im fighting the deacons and it seems unavoidable, otherwise is a real easy boss fight

I think that teleport means that they went back to the nexus

OK so PvP is pretty fucking fun lol, came in and two guys were fighting so I naturally killed the guy with his back to me, then I killed the other one as well. I guess this isn't seen as honourable but I'm smiling so who cares 
I can see myself doing a lot of this but I don't really know how it works. Like, what are these items for? Can they see me through the wall like I can them? Any other PvP tips and tricks would be welcome.

I just asked this earlier today and quoted the answers a few posts up from yours.
You just have to interrupt the spell-casters.

Not enjoying the catacombs. Keep dying stupidly. I did love the
chasing me down those steps though. It needed the Indiana Jones music.

So, I invade and there's 3 guys waiting for me, this has happened a few times in the space of like 20 minutes, does no one play solo or what?
As someone who puts down their mad phantom summon sign often, I would say no. Most of the time, people are looking for duels but personally, I go into Host worlds with the intention of helping them out - I only attack if they attack me first. Because these summon sign offers no guarantees to whether the phantom is friend or foe, everyone should always be on guard.

If you're invading in pvp hotspots, then you're going to find groups a lot. Not everyone wants 1v1 duels.
Were the Blue Sentinel assists happening early on or throughout the game? It sounds like people mostly have success getting summoned in the sub-SL 40 range. I put on Blue Sentinels around Irithyll and kept it on for the rest of the game unless I specifically wanted to co-op or PvP, but I only ever got summoned to help once and then my host killed the invader right as I spawned in. I beat the game at SL 80, so I don't think I outpaced any area level ranges.
It might just be a matter of so many people using the two Sentinel covenants compared to a relatively fewer amount of people running around with Way of the Blue on (who are also embered, and can be invaded) so that any individual's chances of getting summoned are pretty slim. As you progress through the game and get access to more covenants, the disparity probably just gets worse. It'd be nice if being in Way of the Blue let you get Proofs when you kill an invader with a Sentinel, just like with Sunlight Medals.
You mean the raised bridge? If so, then yes.
There's a lift in the second shortcut hallway leading from the Cathedral proper to the Cleansing Chapel bonfire. The lift takes you up to a tower, outside of which a ladder lets you climb higher and then move onto rooftops which eventually lead to where I think you're looking for.

You mean the place where you
help him fight the fire demon?
Not that I've found, but I didn't do much after some cursory exploring and item collection. Nothing else brought me back there. Easiest option if you're looking to leave is to just use a homeward bone.

The retrieving calibration error that I'm experiencing on XB1 is seriously getting annoying. Hopefully there's a fix for this soon. I've been trying to get online for 45 minutes now.
The trick of having something downloading at the same time is hit or miss for if it even works for me.

Haha thanks glad I wasn't alone.I just asked this earlier today and quoted the answers a few posts up from yours.

I actually just beat it by killing him before they had a chance to cast.
Yes. Just be sure to fully explore the tower.

Hey guys, I just killed
and have also killed the

No idea where to go next. Any hints?
Yhorm the Giant
Abyss Watchers.

You just gotta attack him a few times, then run into the room with the mimic, then wait for the giant to go back to resting, then repeat. He'll be dead in 3 minutes and you won't take any damage (unless a rat surprises you).
The rooftops are about the halfway point to the next shortcut. It's definitely the longest route between shortcuts/bonfires I've encountered so far and it feels very much like the first Dark Souls in that regard.
It's the first area that I've really enjoyed for feeling like a Soulsborne location. So many moments of bonfire-relief in there, it's great.
Holy Fuckis absolutely handing my ass to me. Any tips?Aldrich
Dem arrows though
The arrows are lethal, but there's ample warning to get the fuck out of there and hide behind a pillar.
Rushing him worked quite well for me, obviously backing off when
he goes through the floor
It's quite hard early game like most casters but late game gets much easier.
This is particularly true if you want to try to only use pyromancies and not rely on your weapon most of the time. Weak early game pyromancies + having to focus on raising int/faith rather than things like end/vigor + having to balance normal / ash flasks, ahhh!
That said, once you get the better spells you feel quite powerful.

Just quoting myself from last page:
Abyss Watcher boss room leads to another area. There's also a boss fight you likely missed in Irytthyl Valley.
Ohh, thank you. I just found that weird, didn't think he went back to the shrine. Just found him, he opened a new store.
Keep exploring :v

You know, honestly wasn't feeling the environment design for most of the game, but
is great so far.
The game started off strong, but as soon as I got to the

wasn't as good as I was hoping it'd be either, and there were the

But now the game put in my in a
