So I defeated the
Skyfireblaze
Member
Well I was just asking about the Black Blade, now I'm confused :/
Could you pm me how this is the case?
I just finished up the
"wedding"
Goddess Velka
I still have a hollowing counter going, but I thought the sigils were needed to "finish" the quest.
Nearing the end and I was actually saving up 890,000 souls to reverse it via Fire Keeper, but I won't if I can still salvage the quest line.
Alright good. I'm so thankful they didn't do another Bloodborne and booted you straight into NG+ after the credits.

Realized I made a huge mistake choosing the farron gs over the wolf knight one. The parry animation in it's 2-handed form is that of a medium shield which makes it all but useless to me.
So if anyone wants to trade(PC) a Wolf knight sword for my Farron hit me up.

You sure about not being able to make that jump? Unless I am thinking of wrong location you definitely should be able to make that jump.
nooo
You can't make it through the bridge that way :V
1) drop off the far side of the bridge for a
estus shard
2) drop down, look around
Basically, run like hell when you go through a building and are on the other side and need to cross the courtyard, besides that you can't sprint through the bridge.
Maybe with a dragonfire shield or such, I never tested.

Your hollowing counter is separate from the number of dark sigils in your key items inventory. You can reset your hollowing counter to zero just fine (Yuria even sells items that will do so), but you can't remove the sigils with the firekeeper.
As long as Yuria of Londor is still hanging around in Firelink Shrine you should be good.
Not really. The straight swords are generally very decent quality weapons. But there is a few particular ones coming up.
Thanks!
I did it just fine on NG without using a shield.
I'm on NG+ now, so I'm curious if it will work again.
EDIT: Oh, I got the all gestures achievement today. The way to get the Proper Bow gesture is kinda obtuse, locks you out of a questline too.

? Use whatever weapon you want, the vast majority of the weapons are viable till the end.

They're quite similar. Black Blade needs more strength to use though. Worth checking out I guess
Wow awesome. Thought I was going to have to wait until NG++ to retry that one.
Thanks.
So
do lore tomes carry into NG+
Also can I PM you once I start platinum hunting in a week or two? Thanks

It kinda feels like a cod sequel although they didn't ruin it yet with futuristic bullshit.
I beat the final boss using a Broadsword. Basically any weapon is viable if you keep it upgraded and you level up for it.
I'm having an issue. I can't run anymore, I can only walk and when I attempt a roll he does a half assed lean forward before giving up. My stats look ok I have spent 2.7k to un curse myself, and I still can't move any quicker than walking.
Any ideas? Early game spoilers,
Any ideas? Early game spoilers,
it happened after I met the onion guy in the tower beneath the huge archer, he was overlooking a big fire demon. I shot the demon with an arrow which made onion man annoyed and it was then that I couldn't move any faster than a walk. I went down and helped him kill the beast but I can't seem to work out what's wrong and Google isn't helping
Lower that weight?

GUYS I NEED HELP (boss spoilers)
So I just got three lords of cinder killed (last one was the Giant guy that I needed the storm ruler to kill. I was automatically teleported away to a new area without letting me hit the bonfire. That old lady tells me something, dies, and gives me a basin. Then, as I'm exploring the room, a cutscene starts and a boss fight begins. I have no estus left and I die to the dancer boss. I have no way of getting back to the boss to find my 80k souls and I'm absolutely LIVID about this shitty level design. How do I find that place again?
Did the bow put you over weight? Are you wearing a ton of armor?
Teleport to the Vordt of the Boreal Valley bonfire, run out the door and just go straight up the stairs and don't stop until you hit a fog door.

It's across the hall from Vordt's bonfire
or the cathedral bonfire
Almost positive it's Vordt
It's not a bad walk from there, walk outside and up the stairs

Where does the pyromancy guy go after you talk to him? I looked all over the shrine and can't seem to find him.

Vordt of the Boreal Valley bonfire, then go back up to the church.

Finished the game at just under 38 hours, minus the last bonus area that I didn't find on my own. I read up how to get to it, so I'll do that later. DkS1 (without DLC...didn't know beating the game dumped you into NG+) and BB both took me 46 hours my first time. No spoiler thoughts incoming.
Sad face
-The lore didn't seem as strong as I had hoped.
-The majority of the bosses were very easy against a melee build.
-The game seemed to have the most ambushes and cheap shit in the series. Having magic/bombs/arrows/bolts shot at you while you run the gauntlet is getting old.
-A few of the levels were real stinkers.
-The tweak to prevent backstab fishing created some strange situations where obvious backstabs missed (stab animation, while the enemy is A-OK and attacking me), and walking up behind to backstab fails more often than it succeeds.
-Some enemies really seem to just throw out their combos, without a stamina limitation.
-Kick is so fucking slow, and forward+R1&R2 seem trickier to pull of, like in DkS2, rather than 1 and BB.
-More input issues than I remember in the other games. Sometimes attacks plain didn't trigger, and other times I was trying to stab a guy with my crossbow, since it wasn't swapping.
Happy Face
-The music is great, as always.
-I have yet to try a bit of magic, but the melee gameplay is a nice improvement over DkS1&2 IMO.
-Visuals are very nice, despite some drops in the later areas that will hopefully (probably not) be worked out.
-I'm fine with armor being more about what looks good, rather than having to upgrade it.
-Huge quantity of weapons, armor, shields, and everything else to mess around with in further playthroughs.
-The longsword is as good as ever, maybe too good.
-Some of the levels felt truly large.
-Them vistas.
Confused face
-I'm not going to make up my mind until I replay the game, but a lot of content felt like a DkS1 rehash (even similar to BB), rather than something new and exciting. I may appreciate it more on replay, so I'm not sure it's a negative yet.
-The overall difficulty seemed very different than the other games (harder normal levels and enemies, with easier bosses), but I won't know how it really plays until I try different builds.
-It seemed like I really took my time and explored, but the upgrade materials came in odd spurts. I would have liked to seen much more mid game, so I could use multiple weapons (not asking for chunks and slabs in the first level).

Thanks it worked. It's funny the now blends in with the sword and axe background to the cell and I didn't see it was equipped after all the faffing around!

If so, that would be ironic. After the fail that was the regular Soul Greatsword in this game, I opted to ignore the Farron version simply because the Farron spells are typically faster, but for much less damage. The damage of Soul Greatsword was already on par with just swinging a melee weapon anyway.
Nope!

You should definitely try out the Farron version. It's incredibly fast, does decent damage, and hits in a pretty wide arc.

When you find scrolls, who do you give them to in order to learn new sorceries? I don't have the option of giving them to

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Do they only sell the regular ones or the large ones as well? Glad to see that there is a shop option for this.

There are a few but none as good as the Iron Keep Bridge or the Arena's from DS2. Iron Keep bridge is still the GOAT PvP area IMO. Nothing cooler than launching someone over the rails & into the lava.

I sprinted through the bridge just fine and ran up the right. You can do it, you just need to stick really close to the right edge and roll frantically.
The way you quote is the designed intended way though.

You need to find
Orbeck of Vinheim, he's an NPC near the Crystal Sage boss in the Road of Sacrifices. He's on the second level, take the side stairs before the boss fight to reach him.

Ha! I've hardly been invaded since, and most of the times they leave because we can never find each other.
What I'm having more trouble with is summoning other people. 90% of the time I'm getting a "unable to summon" message and don't see signs of it going away.
That happened to me too.
If I'm not wrong, you should explore more around the swamp in Road of Sacrifice, it has another exit.
