Why even bother hitting them? Just look for the regular signs and you'll know it's not a mimic, takes maybe 2 seconds to just look at it and know.

That seems like a good range or at least when I was getting the most. However, it has been pretty erratic for me. At one point I was getting summoned so fast and so often that I didn't even have enough time to unequip the covenant between summons. Other times, I won't get summoned for hours. I suspect as people progress, there are less and less people wearing the covenant that summons help while more and more blues are joining for items.
You get so many rolls with so little END it doesn't really matter. I'll likely focus on END when I make my second, DEX build.
And thanks. The weapon I'm using is so damn good not many people know how to counter it. It's great when I find someone who puts up a good fight no matter if I win or lose (lose mostly)

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*
I've yet to truly enjoy a poison area in a Souls game so far. I'd say DS3's is my favorite across all the games though because it's sort of an interesting set up. If they didn't have the sections that you had to slog through or had an item you could find that let you move at normal speed, I'd be much more okay with the level overall.
This is also why I'm really hoping From/Miyazaki does a Sci-Fi Souls game because I think it would make then have to create new fresh environments, instead of "Okay here's the forest level. Okay here's the poison level. Okay here's the lava level. Okay here's the tomb level with skeletons." My favorite levels have been the ones that have had something unique about them. Tower of Latria in Demon's, Sen's Fortress in DS, the wharf in DS2, Old Yharnam in Bloodborne. Can't say any of the generic forest levels have really stood out in any game, regardless of how well designe: the layout may be.
I really hope this is the last Dark Souls game, at least with this current setting. Sci-fi souls would be pretty damn interesting.

Speaking of Poison does Poison resistance work with toxic? Or is there no way to mitigate toxic build up other than the cure items?
Seems more expedient and general due diligence.
DS3's poison bog has definitely been the least demanding poison area among all five games.
While I'm all for a fresh take just so it's not the same things again in Souls, nothing really precludes them from a "poison planet" or "lava planet" and throw a new coat of paint on the same things.
I'd like another mechanical departure in addition to any thematic changes. Bloodborne ditched shields and forced a complete playstyle revolution for anyone used to blocking in Souls. There should be something else that makes the game behave differently if it's going to really move on in a different direction.

HAHAHAHA, was expecting it because of your line but still funny. I love vids like that.
Fair enough. I don't mind some of the "traditional" Souls areas, but sometimes they are a bit boring. Honestly Darkroot Garden is kind of boring to me, but I enjoyed Forbidden Woods. I enjoyed all the poison areas for various reasons (atmosphere, mostly, but also how rewarding the exploration is), including Nightmare Frontier which blew my mind in Bloodborne (first part I had seen that was
100% Lovecraftian
I'd like to know this too. Also, how do you get more blooming moss? Handmaiden was only selling like, 3.
Edit:
Heh, can't agree. I just beat DS3 and already started a new character and can't wait for the DLC. These games never get old to me...

You need to raise vigor for more armour burden, not endurance... if you mix and match with lighter gloves/boots it's easy to stay under 70%. Though that depends on your weapon(s) loadout I guess.

I went into NG+, so I could get started on all the rings and gestures and whatever else I missed, and got invaded immediately after entering the High Wall for the first time. The person seemed very PVP-y, had some UGS and was invisirolling and all that. I just slid around and whiffed all my attacks because I'm terrible at hitting people. Eventually they got a few hits in, but their last one left me with the tiiiiniest sliver of HP left. So I stood there waiting for them to continue attacking...and they just bowed at me and crystal'd out. Very bizarre.
Then I got called in for bluepolice duty twice, but my game spent so long loading in that the host/phantoms killed the invaders before I even got there

definitely worth it. it hardly penalizes you, as far as I know people who tested it saw a very little change to damage taken. hence it's basically 15 free stats.
it doesn't really matter since you can change covenants whenever you want in a matter of seconds, but yeah, you will.
40 has always been the cutoff where Endurance stops providing any more Stamina. There's also not any major +Stamina rings, it seems like.

I had to summon the NPC and he was pretty easy after that. He's not 100% focused on you and you have some breathing room.
Nameless King
Bosses in this game are usually so aggressive, with not that much health, so I really enjoyed that this fight has a boss with a huge HP pool and predictable (tho not that easy to dodge) attacks. I used all my Estus and he still had around 20% of health, so I popped that Ember and went "this is my final form!" on his ass!
So good.

I'm insulted that you'd associate me with the git gud crowd.
All I'm saying is that I don't see how you could expect to have a good time with the game if the way you're playing it is to run past everything to the boss.
It's perfectly valid to get bored and tired of fighting your way past everything 20 times, and moreover perfectly valid to see running past everything as a solution to avoiding the enemies. I'm not saying "you must fight everything, and you must enjoy it," and I'm not saying that there can't be ways to remove friction that's outlived its function (DSII did this pretty well).
But the attrition of surviving the enemies as you progress (and preserving resources on your way to the next bonfire or boss) is part of how the game is designed and balanced, so I don't know why you'd expect the developers to care to accommodate or encourage that particular strategy of just running past everything, that's all. It's not in their ethos.
nah I meant in weight capacity
I remembered this but it also doesnt seem to work as I always go ham on vigor at first
I dont know. I got that weight ring from a boss soul which was nice tho
that and poise feel odd in this game
but im really liking it
The problem really is Miyazaki. And by that, I mean, if he wants to stop making these games, we should encourage him.
Gaming has so few auteurs, they shouldn't be slaves to a single franchise for decades.

Isn't 120 usually the meta?
alternatively, he's quite easy to parry.
Yeah it is, but 100 feels so good and balanced. Not sure what everyone else is doing pvp wise though, might wait a week or so before leveling up anymore.
IIRC he didn't have much to do with DS2, which up until now has been my favorite(could still be, but giving time for that new game hype to go away).
So if he leaves it up to another team, I'm all for it. Unpopular opinion, but I don't care.

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
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...
because
after he helps kill that boss he just dies and gives you his armor anyway... i had already kilt the boss so its the only way to get his armor otherwise.....
i still feel bad.... onion brooooo 😭

Kill al the NPCs? You can buy slabs in end game btw.
I'm 108 now and probably going closer to 120. Want more VIT to wear armor I like. 10-20 levels isn't going to change your build and make you OP

What's a good weapon to use in PVP when it's me vs 3 other gankers? I don't think my Lothric Knight Sword would be good enough, even though it's absolutely a beast in 1v1.

Unlocked heavy attacks with the biggest weapon you can find. Killed 3 people with the great club this way.
But most of the time in these situations I just die.

That building you see up on the cliff side, when looking out from the O&S hallway, looks a lot like the church in the Undead Parish. It's even facing the correct way if this were Lordran. I'm hoping I get to go there. Also, it's kinda funny how they took a dead world and made it feel even more dead. Those fire mage guys being there feels wrong, I wnat to kill them because they don't belong lol.
