If it's like BB DLC, I can't wait to see what they come up with.
Yes, do the cloud save trick after beating the final boss. You will only get 2 gold trophies though.
You can choose to go back to your original game after the ending. You then begin NG+ from the Firelink bonfire.

As soon as you see one you gotta rush it and kill it immediately. Give them no time to use their spell. If you're not in the lower level of the dungeon, I'll just let you know that there's an area that's even worse.
Also always head back to the shrine if you have enough souls to level yourself up. Always.
Yeah I figured that out, I got to the lower level of the dungeon and there's
a really hard to kill giant in a tight space and enemy mobs everywhere.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
What are soft cap levels?
Aw, I like his blind LP so far. He's doing similar things as me. His reaction to the Siegward gestures were the best.

Meh. I just can't see the fun in this. If they were cooping and improvised this ambush on the fly that's cool but just repeatedly doing that to every invader they lure.... How is this fun? Just being a dick for its own sake.
Gankers are not questers, they refer to players who stick around at a specific place on purpose to ambush invaders (or even gank red signs).
Holy shit that is amazing... I have to try that next playthrough!
Brightbugs, yo. Best item in the series.
...There is?
There isn't a poison swamp in Dark Souls 2.
But there is a poison-themed area I guess.Valley of Defilement was Miyazaki's favourite level in Demon's Souls. Expect a poison swamp in every Soulsborne game. It's a tradition. Personally I think they're pretty neat. *shrugs*
Yes, but...
In this case Fextralife is correct. For me,
Siegward carried the entire fight. xD I was attacking Yhorm and doing piss-poor damage then every now and then he'd huge a lose chunk. I had no idea what was going on. Then after the fact I found the Stormruler and went "ohhhhhh". xD Thanks, Onionbro.
Ah, I still have time then, thanks.
Jesus christ, was having an OK time with the game in terms of difficulty until
Must be doing something wrong though, because it's either human opponents that parry-spam you or actually manage to kill you in 1-2 hits.
the part of Anor Londo, if it wasn't invasions it was a black knight or the area boss. Died so many times and got so pissed, but then I remembered DS1 and that was pretty much the same. Eventually overcame the area which feels fulfilling. Completely ignored that shit downstairs with those two rat/wolf things that kill you in no time.

Anybody having issues with a few covenants? For the life of me I cannot seem to be summoned whilst in the
or the
and therefore I cannot get a certain miracle in order to get me closer to the all important platinum. I have consistently worn one of these rings and played through the entire game, only to be summoned a grand total of one time!
I am also having trouble farming the required item offline. I boosted luck statistic, wore the Symbol of Avarice, put on the Gold Serpent Ring and farmed the
bonfire for a solid three hours last night and around the same today.
Any ideas, guys?

I'm a pyro, so the giant was super easy, but if you have a decent bow, just buy a ton of arrows and just shoot it to death from behind the door, he cant hit you.
Also, soon you'll see what I mean when I said there's an area that's worse.
Online covenants are currently fucked. You are not alone.
Covenant drops are low so that's normal.

Use those
charms you can buy from the Shrine Maiden that prevent estus use. You can throw them at minics and they sleep for a short while. Wail on it. Repeat. when it starts to move.
Ok. Online activity seems to be going down :/
I though plenty of people wanted help
Abyss Watchers...
Alright, done with
Area was kinda weirdly designed, with the teleporting after the first boss and the shortcut near the second bonfire that brings you... near the first one. Wut?
Now I dunno if I want to do the final boss and go into NG+ or tackle a new chara. Could also respec into a full mage for NG+, but I don't wanna level up too much because right now I'm in a sweet spot where I get summoned in most end-game areas asap.

Remember when Mimics used to come as a surprise?
I think I've only found about 3 real chests in this one, and about 47 Mimics.

Does the game pick up in its latter half? I'm making my way through the
and I'm really starting to feel fatigued. Everything feels too similar to the other Souls games and the boss designs habe been the worst in the series for me so far.
catacombs
Appreciate the heads up, thank you!
I guess I'll sit and wait on a patch/regulation update then, because as far as I know, the item I require can only be found two times during a play-through, thus I don't fancy going through the game another 12 times to get them.
Hopefully they get fixed soon, I was close to the platinum of the game before this halted any and all progress.
Yep I have had the same experience. I ended up just running through the area to unlock the shortcut to the boss, but that boss is wiping me out. Must have tried 30 times now.
No idea how much I missed in the area but screw fighting those knights.

onion bro quest....
i fucked it up really bad...
still got the armor...though by freeing him.. then killing him....
What is your level & what is your highest upgraded weapon #(equipped or otherwise)?
Yeah you know exactly who I'm taking about lol.
I was just thinking about that the other day. They went super mimic heavy in this one.
Really? I've found way more real chests and I'm a decent ways in the game. The only place I can really think that there's a ton of mimics at is the
Dungeon
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
Even better;
just throw the charm, loot the chest while it's sleeping, then ignore the mimic completely after that.
Hahahaha, no lies.
You monster
why would you do that?Actually I wonder... about Siegward,
I got his slab and he joined me for Yhorm but it trivialized the boss. So to experience the boss "properly", can I still do the quest and get the titanite slab? He gives the slab after being rescued right? Any way to make him NOT appear at Yhorm without killing him in his cell? I'd feel bad...
Yeah, people that sit around waiting to four on 1 a lone dark spirit are boring as fuck.
On the other hand, when you get 3 dark spirits vs 3-4 summons/host, that's where the PVP in this game shines. Not to mention the moments where you actually win a 3v1 are pretty damn awesome.
Fortunately for this, they changed how red signs work so that the person summoned by a red sign is spawned in a random place like a regular invader.
Not sure why it matters how many Mimics there are. Standard operating procedure for opening any chest in the game should be to hit it twice, just in case the first hit glanced off of a wall or something. You don't even need to read Messages. Plus if you see a pool (or multiple pools) of blood, you know that the chances of a Mimic are 99%.
That is one long health bar and one short as hell endurance bar >.>
Hmm, shouldn't be. I was there a few days ago and I summoned for help at that level and weapon # just fine. Saw plenty of signs. Maybe try again later?
You havent faced those brain things in Bloodborne have you...
You'll also notice the chest 'breathing' if you look closely.
I just look at the chain coming off it. If it's circled round on the floor it's safe, if it's straightened out it's a mimic. No need to hit anything.
So last night I ran into an issue where all the phantoms I had summoned (and been invaded by) did not seem to have any animations triggering at all, but would instead float. I couldn't see their attacks or movement at all, which screwed me over when I was invaded by a Red who had a huge sword - I couldn't tell how far his reach was because of this. Anyone else see this? I'm currently at

There are diminishing marginal returns to increasing a stat after you hit the soft cap. I'm making up these numbers, but let's say when you increase Vitality from 1 to 20 you get 50 HP per level, but starting at 21 you only get 15 per level. 20 is a "soft" cap since you can still increase Vitality if you want to, but there's a drop off in the benefit you get so your souls are probably better spent on a stat you haven't reached the soft cap for since it will have a larger impact on your stats.
I get in a good three hits with my weapon so why would I need any more?
I pretty much dumped into Vigor when I got to 40 STR, and I'm wearing the life ring.

Sometimes you can also spot movement at the opening as if breathing.
Edit: Beaten
It was fun when they were rare so you're not sure if ts a mimic. I played offline and my first Mimic experience in DkS1 was quite vivid. Ah memories

Have you been through
Irithyll Dungeon
Tower of Latria
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
I won a 3v1 in every game except this one so far (haven't PvPed much), but it's still a bit annoying. Especially now that it's possible, even likely, to find a 5v1... -_-
I wish I had a 3v3, now that'd be fun, but it doesn't seem that common outside of, maybe, the
Aldrich Faithful
They did that in DS2 too. It doesn't help much. You typically backtrack to find the host and if he's waiting with phantoms, well... good luck. Fortunately so far that happened only once, but I dropped a red sign like only 4-5 times (in the Cathedral around the bonfire) before moving on, so I don't quite like those odds. xD
I can actually see that with a big weapon. I'd still like the endurance for rolls, personally. Either case, nice job surviving with that sliver. I love it when duels come down to the last hair.
That covenant area and the other one like it are where I mostly found 3v4s. When it happens it's simply epic.
