Yeah, unfortunately they are all dead. I went back to all the locations to see if it was sitting there but I found nothing. I read that it would appear by the "last" location by
Dragonslayer Armor
it's not OP because parrying in PvP isn't easy, and most people who are bad at it just spam the parry mindlessly and die because of it.
also you should definitely get more Vigor, 35 or 40 should be enough to avoid getting killed by a single big sword + hornet ring riposte most of the time.

I got summon from
archdragon peak into anor londo
What platform are you playing the game on?
Am I overleveled for Irythyll? I'm level 51 and barely finding anyone to summon. Enemies are a pain in this area..
Also anyone else having issues with never being able to summon 2 helpers? Even if I see a bunch of summon signs on the ground, as soon as I summon one person the others disappear and then I never find any summon signs again. Overall there seems to be a lot of network issues. Unable to summon, connection loss, phantoms gliding around with no animations..

Ps4.
He was using the Small Leather Shield. Makes it way easier to parry. I should've tried to backstab instead. Anyway, I ended up waiting for him at a bonfire so i lost nothing except the time. I had to wait for him to show up. I wasn't gonna let him lure me into a gankfest with AI.
I still think it's OP.

Pretty sure I fought Peeve yesterday. Two of us were summoned through Aldrich Faithful covenant and he STILL kicked our asses.

What is this trick?
Anyone on PS4 wanna grind some purple shackles with me sometime this coming weekend? I'm planning to play a crapton today and tomorrow so don't know how far I will get, but plan to beat the game. I'm level 71 right now and at Dancer, so I'll probably be like 80-90 or so when I finish if I keep leveling up. Don't know what the range is for co=op levels. I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is, except maybe taking turns killing each other off after summoning? I think it's got to be the one who got summoned that has to do the kill to get shackle, not sure if host can get it or not.

Man, the knight ganks in Lothric are something else. Does Miyazaki want us to cheese with a bow or something?
You don't need to worry about levels if you do the password with friend method to summon. One of the best aspects they took from BB's coop mechanic.
Thanks a lot for the offer. Unfortunately, the kids are up now and my day game session has ended...
I will try again later today.

I've had it on since, I don't know, SL 90 or so. I think I'm around 120 now. Now all my weapons that I use are +10, but they were +7-+9 previously when I still had no luck with this covenant. I've stood at the bonfire you've had the most summons at for an hour with 0 summons.

One was wearing a ring that masked him.

One of them is wearing a ring that can make you appear as a host of embers.

probably not your connection, these games always have issues, ever since Demon's Souls i've had severe problems while dozens of other games work just fine online.
i remember in Dark Souls for the first fucking month i couldn't connect to anyone, then after a patch or two it kinda worked but barely and no one ever rated any of my messages, they probably never showed up for anyone i guess..
Dark Souls 2, ehh.. almost nothing worked online for me. still no one rating on my msgs, no one invades me, summons only worked 1/10 of the time.. etc etc. massive problems.
Bloodborne.. summons worked randomly, if i left the bell ringing for an hour or more. very hard to find other players in chalices.. one time i left it searching for 3 hours and nothing.
and now Dark Souls 3, constantly failing summons, all the time, everywhere.
i don't think From has many netcode experts.
DkS2 probably worked the best outta all the Souls games for me. I played so much coop and it was a blast to help people. Online in BB and DkS3 has been super bad.
Yea, if your friends are higher level, they will scale
down to the host of the world so they can't just tank everything for you.

Hey cool. There is already a DSP - This is how you don't play Dark Souls 3.
I hope he keeps on raging as he did in all other From Software games.

DKS3 multiplayer/co-op(been letting my friends summon me, been going solo personally) has worked pretty consistently for me with passwords. The only problem comes up is when you're greatly out of each other's level range with a password. Nowhere near as bad as Bloodborne. Hell, it's better than launch DKS1, almost as good as launch DKS2.
we can all agree BB online is the worst. Stupid bells that never worked.
the Buckler is the easiest/best shield to parry with, but there isn't a big difference as long as you use small shields, which are the best option if you want to parry, yes.
if anything, the hornet ring could be labelled as (slightly) OP, but parrying certainly isn't and never was, it's quite the opposite of what defines something overpowered. you can always do some invasions or PvP duels and see for yourself how not easy parrying is and how punishable the L2 spam is.
I was getting constant coop there yesterday. Around lvl 80

In BB I never had a single co-op session, ever. I tried quite a few times but just gave up. I only succeeded in chalice via the makeshift tombstone. But even that was finicky.
SotFS PS4 has been a great online experience for me. It always worked. DS3 works too, I got into sunbro co-op lots of times, but its been going a bit downwards lately.
I think DS2 is seriously underrated, I miss its PvP (so far, DS3 invasions has been mostly me vs 2 or 3 guys) and I miss the build variety. Its too frustrating to try mid to late game with greatswords, let alone magic.

Worked too well for invaders. I ended up playing offline to avoid them cuz they invaded at the worst times.
Using a loyd's talisman/hunter charm on a mimic will make it fall asleep, letting you loot it without killing. There is also a chance of the headpiece spawning each time. You can just keep using charms on a single mimic until you get the headpiece. You have to wait for it to wake back up before using another charm, and you can only carry 5 charms before replenishing. Also, it doesn't show up as a glowing item, so you just have to check each time.

Dammit, didn't know that Hollow Infusion turns a weapon to Luck scaling. My luck build would be going so much better if I knew that.
On the other hand I'm having a ton of fun with my Poison-infused Luck Build Painting Guardian's Sword. Stacking Bleed and Poison on enemies and unsuspecting Red Phantoms is actually a lot of fun. You can kinda tell when Red Phantoms get hit and don't take a lot of damage they don't realize how quick my Bleed/Poison hits build and then all of a sudden their health takes a huge hit and starts ticking down and they start running from me to heal.
Good times.

Dark Souls 2 co-op/pvp invasions/pvp arena/pvp red sopasigns/covenant summons (Blue, Bell Tower, Rat) worked 100% for me all the time.
Dark Souls 3 co-op/invasions works 100% and fast for me, constantly finding people to invade. But the covenant summons (Blue, Watchdogs, etc) seem to never work for me.
Wish the Watchdogs cov was more like the Bell Tower cov, as the Bell Tower cov from DK2 got me constant summons.

Yep, the tracking in this game is insane. I wouldn't mind it so much if rolling didn't suck so hard. Trying to get behind even regular knights in time for a backstab ends up being a pain in the ass with how long the roll lasts plus tracking.
Whoa, hunter charms work like Lloyd's talismans? I had no idea.

I killed him TO get the
onion knight's armor.
Co-oping with other people as in you offering help gets you summoned in seconds. Go to the NK boss or any late game boss and out down a Sign... you will be summoned in 2 seconds. I don't think I have had to wait more than 4 seconds to get summoned for a boss.
However, trying to summon yourself is a crap shoot because summons get snatched up quick and the signs don't update as quick so you end up trying the summon people who have already been summoned.

I had the exact same experience there just a few hours ago. Guy did chameleon, watched me duke it out against another guy. I won. Then another guy came along, I went spectator and they battled. One gestured near death and left.
I think I'll try helping people tonight just to get to 10 Sunbro medals. I wish when you ask for summons, they let you do a summon all players where you automatically get into a queue to get anyone without trying to summon each person specifically. That would make it a breeze.
Ok Thanks. How do i get
siggy to save greirat?
siegward his armor back
encounter siegward in the valley before sending greirat there

Wow, ok. I'm guessing I'm just getting more familiar but all of the toughies from playthrough one aren't making me break a sweat. Don't think I've died more than once on any boss. Also beat the hardest boss in the game, the Fire Keeper Set ledge, second try.
