What class are you? If you're deprived or thief your life could be harder because of starting items. I started deprived then rerolled herald and life was a lot easier.
Using the exact same weapon. I just summoned for that fight and any other fights where the boss was hyper-aggresive. I don't like that so few of the fights seem to accommodate STR builds or slower magic builds, they're just so damn fast.
Use a Gold Pine Resin, he is really weak to lightning damage

Has a bundle more effect compared to a resin or does it just last a lot shorter?
Yup. They have learned literally nothing in the last decade from making this series. It's mind-boggling. The lock on was just as bad for me half the time. If an enemy got too far to the side, the lock would just break and leave you completely open.
You're probably right -- that bonfire I just got to, Farron Keep Perimeter, connected as a short-cut to the Road of Sacrifices. Its purpose is to connect to the shortcut rather than serve as a checkpoint, even if it doubles as one. It just seems so different to the layout of every other Soulsborne game, so that it's really startling when you come across one when you've yet to use a flask or even get hit. And then before you reach the next bonfire, you have to take on 5+ very difficult enemies, and you're near in tears after barely defeating the third one.
Lock-on is not your friend in Souls. Honestly, one of my problems with Bloodborne is how it forces lock-on with the super dodge.
Anyone know what the cutoff for leveling is as far as mp goes? I know it was 120 in the previous games, and I'm already pretty much there sitting in NG+. Speaking of which does this game carry over the Dark Souls 2 thing where NG+ variances didn't really matter and you could summon across them as long as you paired statistically?
Also, I've been getting slammed with the no entry through fogwall bug a lot here lately =\
Another NG+ woe...really sucks that the early route into you-know-where just ends in an arbitrarily blocked path >_>

not easy but oh man wait till you get to the hardest .... youll know right away which one it is once you get there
So i have a low level (below 30) character that I want her to have Darkmoon Blade but even with her low level I just cant get summoned as a Blue Sentinel. Anyone have any tips for getting enough items for that?
And with my main character, even though I have yet to finish the game, I didn't find any Blue orb yet. There's really no Blue orbs?

So....don't lock on? The game lets you control the camera and perform all weapon functions at the same time, you know.

With a shriving stone. Keep in mind they're limited though
As long as you have the gems and souls then you can infuse it and de-infuse it as many times as you want. The good thing is is that the reinforcements carry over, so if you want to start with Lightning then later on with higher stats decide to go Heavy or Sharp then you don't have to worry about reinforcing it all over again.

So to confirm, I have a Raw Broadsword+2 with 180 damage or so. There's a random axe I found in High Walls of Lothric with 103 physical and 103 dark (I think). Which one is better? My raw broadsword seemed to be better, but I don't get why. I was mainly fighting the zombies in the area.
I'm currently right at Farron Keep:

I fought a black/dark knight in the previous area, who dropped his shield, and it is DIESEL. 100 physical resist plus 50%+ for all the magics. Super good.

I feel like enemy pathfinding has not changed a bit since Demon's Souls and it's something that could use a ton of improvement.

When phantoms are doing that they're invincible to bosses. Had some guy two times in a row last night wreck the dancer because he could just stand there and attack her and the dancer was only doing ten damage to him per hit. I took a video of it happening: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Korosenai/video/16690621
Also, I don't even know the guy who summoned me so that sychronized sitting was a complete accident.
Every time I go there I get slammed with invaders. I think it must be some kind of pvp zone or something.
There's a whole other area connected to it, yeah.

Black Knight shields
The one in Dark souls 1 had 100% physical and fire resistance in the 90s which worked wonders for some enemies/bosses.

It's the forest covenant zone equivalent for DS3. There's also another one later

Yeah, most Ultra Greatswords are too slow for a few of the bosses, you'll get hit 90% of the time you take a swing.
I had to switch to the Butcher's Knife for: P

Otherwise I'd get hit, take damage and/or get stunlocked into massive damage/death. The UGSs hardly even stun/stagger the bosses, the Butcher's Knife was getting me more consistent staggers than Gut's UGS.
And Gut's UGS is most likely getting nerfed in the next update, too. :l

Just spent 3 and a half hours getting my ass handed to me by this douche canoe. He's not even that hard, i just keep fucking up in new and creative ways. I've got a good handle on most of his attacks (except for some of his 2 hand bullshit, which I just try and stay well clear of) and being shit on by dragons midfight is annoying but its hardly the worst second phase surprise ever. I dodged, dipped, dived, ducked and dodged my way past Dancer too, which was way more intense, and took a while as well but not this long. Anyway off to bed, the bitch of some Dragonslayer armor.

Also, are most builds str / mag midrange? I'm kind of ignoring mag completely and I'm around level 50ish. Should I start dumping points into magic?
Question about the ending and Anri:
Do I need to speak to him/her at Firelink Shrine before beating Abyss Watchers? I beat that boss but forgot to talk to him/her, since didn't beat Deacons of the Deep yet. Did I screw myself up for this quest? Should I restore my save to earlier today? Or is that part not required.

Heres how i did it
Phase 1
equip 100% shield.
Run up to him and circle strafe to your right with shield up.
After he combos you can hit a couple of times. Some weapons a charged r2 is good.
Repeat till phase 2.

Phase 2
Take out clone ASAP. you can get hits in as its being summond as well.
Repeat phase 1 tactic but bear in mind his new moves (magic and jump strike). If close he seems less likely to do them anyway.
With the clone he is a pain in the arse though. Feels like a nit very clever way to add difficulty.

Pretty stuck on the Abboss. Any advice?yss Watchers
I'm using a medium axe, but I keep failing on the second stage because taking any of those hits eats so much health.
Ride his ass and roll. His more hard to dodge moves all come out when you're a car length away from him.
Anyone?
kill oceiros in consumed garden, go through the door afterwards pick up the dragon gesture (cant miss it) afterwards go to irythill dungeon where the werid dragon statue is (out in the open next to an elevator) and use the gesture for a few seconds
no it wont start ng+ unless you click on it on the bonfire

Just got my first invader, and beat it ! That felt good!
You need to defeat an optional boss in the Garden area then you're given a gesture. Go to that weird row of knights and a dragon sitting down in Irithyll dungeon and do that gesture there.
After the credits the game asks you if you want to go to NG+ or stay at NG. If you choose to stay in NG you can select "begin journey 2" from Firelink Shrine bonfire to go to NG+.
