Yeah, and I'm not really sure of the benefit either.

Apparently people weren't kidding earlier when they said I had missed stuff if I was only at level 26 at the A
That was the third boss fight I beat, apparently I missed a boss fight and an entire subsequent area in R
I was looking up a guide for the first boss I mentioned to try to see what I was doing wrong and saw a section on the second.
I felt like I explored that section pretty thoroughly, guess I'll have to go back.
byss Watchers.
oad of Sacrifices.

getting the secret ending seems like the main advantage

i'm stuck in the
Cathedral of the Deep, i have no idea what to do with those two giants. there's two levers that let me lift two different walls, so am i supposed to trap the giants or something? i can't get them to move! the other one just flings shit at me lol, at least thats what it looks like.

kill them. attack their legs and dodge their stomps.
Is there a level I should not be going over if I wish to continue PVP to get the tokens for Covenants? I just want to finish my first playthrough normally then start to do Covenant stuff, just hope I'm not screwing myself out of doing all those since the potential player pool to be able to complete this will probably be reduced. Really want to get everything on this one characters with multiple playthroughs and not have to create a whole new characters lol
Stuck fighting against
,i've managed to reduce 3/4 of his/her health but somehow i always screw it up.

First time in a souls game that you have to fight one boss after another,so weird.Kinda dissapointed with the area leading to yorm,it was pretty short;I have mixed feelings about the bossfight because i didn't like that you're forced to use the storm sword but at the same time it was pretty fucking cool,just like in demon's
You dont have to kill the two
giants

So it says i don't have enough dex to use the bow I found, it has a red X on it, but I can still use it just fine. Can anyone help explain why that is? Why level up to use it if i dont have to?
Yeah but it's kinda trollish,i mean the first time you wouldn't think that a new boss fight will trigger right away, i was like 'ok,now i'll climb the ladder and see what's in there,then i'll use my souls..wait what!?'
I guess the dancer is there to compensate for how easy the fight against yorm was.

it's probably taking more stamina than normal, and way more time to fire

On the subject of bosses. How difficult do you guys think bosses will become after most of the players base move onto NG+ or stop playing?
In my first place through aside from the Champion and Giant, I didn't summon any help. I've rolled a new character and so far the only the only fight I've needed support with was the Tree & the Abyss Watchers. The Tree isn't really that difficult as much as you need to be able to hit certain weak spots, and some builds straight up struggle to reach that. I'm running a Halberd and that back spot if bullsh*t to reach. The Abyss Watchers are stupid easy with summoners. Soloing that is a massive pain if you aren't running a Strength build. If you can stagger that Boss and keep an eye on the other Watcher it's not that difficult.
Some bosses are going to be very tough to beat solo. I'm not looking forward to certain fights.

I was about to ask how much harder it was than NG. Not too bad?

Less dmg as well.
Because you're using it with both hands,stats requirements are reduced a little bit if you hold it with both hands.
Not sure about talismans and staffs though.
Haha I had no idea either, but he basically
locks you in the tower behind Firelink Shrine. I didn't even notice as I jumped down after the lift to get an extra treasure I missed earlier.

Wouldnt all bows be too handed? There isn't a way to use it one handed is there?
Oh, you missed
him locking the gate behind you in tower behind firelink. Basically his "I'll take all the treasure from your corpse" spiel. You see him there when you went back down the elevator after getting the Fire Keeper soul. It was a nice surprise.
Excellent. Wanna get through all the NPC quests in NG+. My gal currently has 32 STR with Prisoner ring lol
Are you sure you are not getting a penalty in damage? go check the damage it does, it should have a negative number after the base damage.
Was there a trigger to defeat A

that I didn't know about? I made a recording and not sure what happened... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCJSIj0LivA&feature=youtu.be&t=2m10s

Play however you want. Summons* are a part of the game. Solaire approves!
*if you can get a successful summon.
Road of Sacrifices is so awesome :')

Is it actually a demon? Like, from the Bed of Chaos? It didn't drop anything to me, so I have no idea what exactly that thing is.

You're just missing on some fun challenge.
I was wondering the same too,maybe the rule still applies even if bows have to be used with both hands.
Afaik,only crossbows can be used with 1 hand.

Boss fights are a snooze with help.
I always play first run beating bosses myself (or sometimes with the NPC summon for the storyline / meagre help).
Much more satisfying that waym
OK, finally beat
Aldrich and am now fighting the dancer. I was lucky to run away with my souls. Really shouldn't have removed the homeward bone.
From just love using a late game boss for their previews, lol. Her dance move is a pain to deal with right now, so much range and it won't stop!

Skeleton that helps you? Only ones with hats I remember are the ones seemingly controlling the huge balls of skeletons. As soon as you kill them the balls explode on impact.

Yeah Kitamura has composed some of the best tracks in Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne too.

Man, why are so many people having trouble with Dancer? Yeah, he hits like a mack truck going down a hill with no breaks, but he's wicked slow and HEAVILY telegraphs nearly every attack. It's so easy to dodge and if you have a shield for backup just in case, there's no reason you should die. I will say the camera does get hung up on some of the environmental objects in a real annoying way at times, though. Unless people are accidentally initiating him during their first visit to the zone, I don't see why he should be so difficult.
Also, I finished Sirris' quest right up until you

yes, you are the vilest of scum.
summon to your heart's content. It's part of the game. I find it more interesting to try a solo boss run when you already know what to expect. you can make preparations and think up strategies, without feeling dejected because you're not making progress on your first run.
