Go up those stairs, drop off the left of the stone bridge onto a pathway. You'll find your way up from there.

Wow, people weren't bullshitting about the Dark Sword. Its making the horrible I

IIRC, there's a stairway to the right that leads you up there. Or maybe that's a one way trip.

Went into the D
A
fight really cautious, tried to block and counterattack, but he was destroying me, after three times, I said screw it and just went on the attack and just rolled away, only got hit one by his
and beat him with 5 great chaos fire orbs.

rmour
wind blast attack
I was legit so freaked out by them that
I exclusively killed them with arrows thinking they would destroy me if they got close... Then I realised that apart from the toxic attack they are non-threatening... Still amazingly freakish design
I'm at the same spot, I see signs but nothing is working.
Gonna take a break, first part of that fight is alright but the second is still crazy.

I don't know what you mean. I finished the game, got the ending of that particular questline, then I figured I might remove the darksign and see if I get another ending, that's it.
Opposite for me. I was able to ace Phase One constantly no problem but Phase 2 was ridiculous.
For this game it works differently. Invasion is by SL and weapon tier. Weapons tiers are 1-3 4-6 7-9 and 10. I've been staying at 6 for invasions.
They're restricted by a combination of Soul Level and Weapon Upgrade level. Of course if you're using passwords to play with a friend you can get scaled down automatically.

It goes away on your next cycle for free then. Whatever hollowing you have will stay, but the sigil doesn't across + cycles.

Need the soul for a spell though I think. Half the problem is the cruddy hit detection for the neck of the thing. Half my attacks cut through with no registration. Honestly this fight should probably be retooled, it's that bad.

Okay so being in
is hilarious but not great for PvP. You are way too squishy. Is there anything else that is special about it?

Those that say ~10 are an estimate 'cause I tend to lose count after attempt #5 or so. I think it's roughly between 7 and 12 for each of these, more or less. On some of those attempts I just messed up too fast and died almost instantly, haha (like attempt #2 at the second boss, which I tend to not count... xD because when I did beat him I used only 1 estus and was never in much danger, just kicked his ass). For
Deacons of the Deep
As you can see most bosses took 1 or 2 attempts, with a small handful requiring several attempts. Pretty much like... every Souls game ever? You know what, I'm totally OK with this kind of difficulty. Not every boss needs to be soul-crushingly hard, and with my experience in Souls games I'd say getting 1 or 2 attempts for most bosses is pretty normal.

I know right? Before you get your STR high enough for it to really start shining though, the raw Astora's Straight Sword beats every single other weapon in the game for PvE, and it's also extremely good in PvP in the early to mid levels as well, since the damage on it is so high that you can just focus your stats elsewhere.
They really need to fix poise, as well as the damage of the larger, heavier and much slower weapons. Hyper armor is nowhere near worth the trade-off, especially when you aren't actually doing that much more damage per hit. They are absolute trash in PvE compared to straight swords too.

phase 1 cam made me aggressive. i also had trouble with depth perception in that fight., wiffed too many attacks. my performace suffered in phase 2 because i just couldn't fight with a clear head anymore. phase 2 is honest, but a bitch.

People are snagging them before you. You'll have better luck hanging out by the bonefire for a soul sign.

So earlier today I beat the boss of A

this is a huge spoiler

There's another hidden bonfire just before that area that will lead to it. Take a look around.
I agree. I know some people are disappointed with the difficulty but you can't just ramp it up on every new game and call it a day, because you'd be alienating any new players. The games should be fair to everyone, not only those of us who have hundreds of hours in the series. I believe the game did a good job at it, with the bosses in the second half being clearly harder than those in the first half. That gives new players the chance to get a hold of things, and by the time you reach

Are the dancer's enchanted swords any good after the buff?

There is no better feeling than parrying an invader and one shotting them with Yorhms machete.

new page, posting again. Want to decide if they're worth making even with the shitty D scaling on everything. I'm a dex build.

That info is pretty interesting IMO. I usually die to "easy" bosses in Souls games, so it's cool to see how others do.
