You get so many titantite and large shards in the next two areas though. No need to start a new game.

I see some of the higher level spells cost like 50 FP. So that's maybe what, 3 casts then your meter is empty? Damn. I seriously wonder why they changed the old system, when it worked better for build variety.

There are items that reduce that and attunement gets you more FP usage.

I'm at
and picked up all the items around the area. Is there anywhere to go around here or is it just a dead end?

Finished at a bit less than 38 hours in. Level 90 (but a good chunk went into VIT for fashion), pure STR build, using the Greatsword 2-handed all the way through since I got it. All bosses beaten. If I had to choose a boss that was most difficult for me, it would be C
G
. The others had some difficult moves that I had to work around, but that boss was especially difficult due to the slowness of my build and the nearly non-stop aggressiveness of its attacks. One of the best Souls bosses to me, no doubt.
For a world so terrible, it is strangely alluring, like a flame dancing in the darkness. I don't know if that flame will always burn, but I know its embers will.

The ending was particularly well done, and even made me tear up a bit...something rare and usually only brought upon by extreme circumstances for me, so that speaks to how I feel about this series. This is a series that I have put innumerable hours into, because of my love of this narrative and the myriad experiences it brings. So to keep that love of this story, that fire alive, I'll play, and die, again and again...

So just started over as Deprived and I have enough souls to level 11 times. I want her to wear heavy armor and carry around a big ass weapon, I think. Never played with a big armored knight build before in any of the souls games.
Any suggestions on where I should allocate those points? Guessing I should put enough points into dex and strength for the Uchigatana since that's probably the best weapon in the early game?

No idea where to go next. Here are the list of achievements I've done so far which should tell the bosses

Ok I found the boss I was missing. I think I found the room earlier, but thought "Hey, let's keep exploring for now."
About Anri:
About Anri:
I spoke to him (he's male in my game) once in catacombs then went to Smouldering Lake and killed Horace. I can speak to Anri a second time, but should I tell him about the lake or say nothing?

Back in Irithyll you went through a small lake to eventually make it to the dungeon. Instead, about halfway through the lake go into opening in the castle (there should be some weird spider-like monsters) it should take you into the castle and lead to a shortcut back to the Church of Yorshka area and the next boss.
I'm just chiming in to continue attempting to make amends for all the shit/hate posting I did last year over how frustrated I was with Bloodborne.
I am not good at dark souls and by all rights should be hating it as much as I did bloodborne but ... I don't. I actually find I can't stop thinking about playing this game. I've completed virtually everything I can do within the first 2 (full)areas (as far as I know anyway) , I've got my long sword at + 3 , I'm rocking some light blue and gold armor I found and I've pumped my mercenary starter up to level 26. Still haven't tried to fight the second (actual) boss but that's the next thing to do. I don't know what it is beyond just technical reasons that's hooked me where DS1 and (especially) Bloodborne failed but here we are.
Who knows, maybe I'll come up on a boss that will ruin my drive to keep going but for now I'm having quite a lot of fun.

This is the 5th time I've died because I respawned with the White Soapstone equipped instead of the estus flask despite the flask being in the first slot on my inventory bar. Don't know why this is happening, but it's infuriating to leave a sign on the ground when I'm nearly dead and about to be hit.
Try the hold down trick. It will go to w/e is in the first equip slot.
I know I'd fumble a lot like that so I only equip items that I'll use in combat. Everything else (like the white soapstone) goes to the other shortcut menu that you see when you press start.
Sweet, thank you.

Is the Dark Sword as awesome as I think it might be? Worth heavy gemming for STR build?

just passed it. great game!
took me around 40 hours

I don't think the scaling spikes enough to be worth it. Quality build is pretty insane.
Want one of us to co-op with you?
Its worth a shot i guess but i will just die so fast haha ill look around for a summon sign

Hmm, I suppose I could still go quality as I am maining Claymore. Do you happen to know the final refined scaling grade for Dark Sword? Fextralife doesn't seem to have it.
What are you playing on? If you're on PC, I've got your back, if console, ask around!
Refined? I'll have to check, I know standard hits the low side of B

How do I open the doors in the PS boss room?

Should be the boss inside the Irithyll Castle. From the Distant Manor bonfire head outside to the water and go into the small entrance to your right. You should battle some Silver Knights and if you keep climbing you'll find it.

Ok some irritating level design here
In C
I
I ran through the level trying to progress, went down stairs and opened the door next to the bonfire. I go back in there and it's not even a shortcut, and there's no way to get back up to the stairs. Why

Okay so at +10, Dark Sword is (STR/DEX) C / D
I have 40 STR 20 DEX for reference
At +10 base it's 230 base + 164 scaling
Heavy is 212 base + 187 scaling
Refined is 207 base + 182 scaling
I know at 40 DEX, it'll be around 40 more pts of damage so it'll end up being the highest ATR.
In short scaling is weak shit and either base or refined is probably your best bet.

Cool. Got invaded for the first time, a blue dude is automatically summoned, he finds me on the map and then immediately leaves. I figure the invader has left or whatever, so I start just exploring the level when the invader seems to jump out from a dead end that I had just checked out and then proceeds to wreck my shit.

On console. Thanks thou!
Will do that is my last option.
What console and how long are you gonna be on?
Currently 4 or so Soul Spears if my memory serves (Not at home to check my game), will see how much i can get out of Crystal Soul Spears.
I'm using some of them, i've got the attunement ring and i would use the FP reducing ring at the cost of HP but i'm dealing with Equip Load issues lol (I'm using that sorcery boosting ring, havel's ring, the attunement ring and 1 other ring i can't remember right now). Till i boost my equip load enough i can't equip that ring. My Attunement is at 24 currrently.
