is the easiest damn boss when you know his gimmick. Second playthrough had him beat in under a minute.
Technically
her quest ends after you defeat the prince brothers (the last fight where you can summon her). You can then find her corpse outside firelink shrine. After that you can do Leonhard's quest.
For me the game suddenly froze and I saw myself with almost no health with my back against the wall. After I died the game closed due to an error. Wonder what happened.
Funny enough that's the boss I've died to the most so far and I'm just getting to dancer right now. He kept getting me behind him and once your in that smoke it's pretty much insta death. I died like 8 times to him even with his super obvious weak points lol
I maxed it last night and it's pretty good but the range is so short. I do like the speed and the R2 charge is crazy powerful. Definitely feels different than most straight swords.
In addition to the Dark Sword which people have already mentioned, the M

What level are you usually at by the time you fight
?
Vordt of the Boreal Valley
Yea, even the Bastard Sword had a longer range and I was using the Wolf Sword for a while too. Almost felt like switching to a dagger lol
The only noticeable difference is how you look. You can still summon/be summoned exactly the same as always.

Man I've still been at it doing NK for Sunlight Medallions. Mostly using the Dark Sword but I was getting bored so I decided to use the Guts Sword. Got it to +9 and thing does the same freaking damage per swing as the Dark Sword and takes twice the time to swing and maybe uses the stamina of 3 DS swings. What the hell was From thinking?
These ultra great swords need to be hitting for 500-700 per swing. Also why the heck does the (Ultra) Greatsword have quality scaling? lol

Regarding the two
. Did I cheese it by accident? I climbed up the ladder before the boss room and attacked one of their claws on the roof, and both died! Was there another way I was supposed to do it, or was that it? Pretty anti-climactic.
dragons at Lothric castle
Yeah,he kept instant killing me that i thought this battle was another seath situation and i needed to do something in the
cathedral
I took the longest detour ever until i've reached
the smouldering lake
Then i realized how retard i was for not noticing the obvious weak spots.
Being lost in souls games is the best thing ever.

Just beat Aldrich first try, but I played really badly. I got hit a lot, used most of my estus and only survived through a war of attrition because I have 40 vigor.
I actually switched swords during NK fight. Wolf Sword for first phase and Dark Sword for second. I needed the range for the first phase. Hehe

Wow, just went back to Undead Settlement (after beating Aldrich) and the sky is red, Bloodborne-style.
Is that a thing? Or did I just not notice first time through?

The camera is the main reason my attempt took so many tries, so annoying. Ah well, all done now!
Just the animations, I thought. Never used it.

It's definitely a thing. Just look at the 'sun'.
It now absolutely looks like the Dark Sign.

Maybe,
if everything goes right. If things get out of control and he starts breathing and summons skeletons you can die pretty easily. Especially for newcomers and first attempts he can be pretty hard.

Trying to summon someone right now isn't working at all.
Trying to kill nameless kill. Restarted my ps4 internet is solid. I can see signs but I can't summon

Gotta be fast. They got summoned by someone else.

Is there a lore explanation for so many God damned mimic chests in this game? I swear it's more than half of them.

As Lik said, they get summoned fast. This is an issue around launch for Souls games. If you are in a Coop Hotspot, a sign on the ground for more than a second has likely already been summoned. Just keep trying and be very quick to grab them.
Nah that's not the issue I've had them appear under my feet immediately spammed summon and I get nothing
Same rules apply. They appear but someone still got them first. I've only been lucky when I get them just as they appear but not always successful. Ended up giving up on summoning.

Does you character really need to stay on the floor for a full five seconds after being knocked down? Bit beneath Miyazaki, no?
You can roll out of being knocked down at least.

Yea, pretty BS. I got invaded for the first time last night and the guy parried me and then killed me with ONE blow while I was on the ground. I was at full health too. maybe he was overleveled but shit, I didn't even get to fight him.

So there is a titanite slab that is located at the bottom of an elevator but the elevator is inactive for me. Anyone know what I'm talking about and where to activate it? At work atm otherwise I'd research it but hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about so I can just get a quick answer
How do you guys choose your armor in this game? Since you cant upgrade armor like in other DS titles, armor in this game feels much closer to BB. I've been rocking the Abyss Watchers set for a while now and see no real reason to switch to other medium armor sets unless a specific situation calls for it(like I need a ton of fire resistance). other than the very beginning of the game are there any sets of armor that are straight up better than other sets?(this is relative to their weight of course, otherwise I'd wear all heavy) Or do you just full on fashion souls it like in BB?

You have to activate the elevator first.
It is the shortcut you unlock right before
the Princes boss battle
the watchtower elevator where you meet Siegward, right before Road of Sacrifices.

the top of that elevator is next to the boss door of that area
