You'll need to find
siegward
Irythil of the boreal valley. He will be in a kitchen sitting in front of a fire with a pot of estus soup nearby.
when I see and confirm siegward is in the kitchen, I immediately go back to firelink without talking to him. I speak to greirat who asks to plunder ithiryll and let him go. Then I head straight back to kitchen where siegward is and exhaust his dialog. After you beat the area boss, greirat should be back safe and sound.

Twin Princes was where I got all my Sunbro medals.
Occasionally having to watch the cutscene is a good trade off for a quick, easy boss fight that most dont die too.
As opposed to someone like NK, who kills your host so fast.

I'm sure it's been said before, but does anyone have some good tips for NK? He wrecks my shit like nobody's business.

This is my fetish.
It kind of sucks that I rarely see helper signs anymore. I get summoned instantly and get a lot of dark moon action so I know my online is working. I guess there are just a lot more people looking for help than offering, which surprises me considering how many fans say they don't like receiving help. Either that or my level is way off the zone.

I'm about to go for a dex/luck build with a hollow estoc. Seems fun.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Really enjoyed the
boss battle. Compared to the previous bosses this one was just generally simple and straightforward, which was a great breath of fresh air in a way. The
is also pretty freaking sweet and has some fun enemies. I love fighting knights in this game, so that whole section after
was just awesome for me.

Yep, I think you are safe to do whatever at that point.

Honestly, I'm not sure if
going as far as progressing siegward's quest further in ithiryll dungeon before greirat returns
him being saved by siegward
Oh and one more thing: Do not step foot in
ithryll dungeon before encountering siegward in ithryll of the boreal valley. I think just zoning into the dungeon before the kitchen scene breaks that part of the quest.
Learn the patterns and dodge. Once you figure out the timing, it's not super hard anymore. Raise your lightning resist too.
Can't blame the host. Maybe they're being cautious so they don't die and waste the entire session and have to go through summoning hell again. I played real carefully as a host. Leaving them seems kinda harsh. Show them how good you are!
You are the best! Thanks alot.
I really think

I beat the game yesterday at SL 88. Didn't summon and 2 handed the Uchigata the entire game rolling through everything. I think they borrowed way to much from Bloodborne. Not sure if I could have even beat some of the bosses with a shield and blocking instead of rolling. Regular enemies do crazy damage. The people who beat this at SL1 are nuts.
Half the bosses were a joke but there were several difficult ones. But I think they are made harder since they are ultra aggressive and would work better in Bloodborne.
Failed every NPC quest. Missed 2 shards and 1 bone. Missed 3 covenants. Missed an entire area as well. Going to NG+ trying to use a bow this time.

Pontiff Sulyvahn - First real boss.
Aldrich, Devourer of Gods - First time I changed my armor to protect against magic. That bow attack in the second phase killed me more then anything.
Dancer of the Boreal Valley - Took a few tries.
Princes - Hardest fight in the game IMO. Relentless and any mistake is a quick death. The fact that they taunt you after killing you is even worse. Why there is such a long path to the boss is also annoying.
Nameless King - Horrible camera makes the first part a chore. It's not even hard and is there just to waste your time. Sometimes I could do it without being hit once and other times I'd have to heal a few times. The dragon breath attack in the air I never found a way to dodge. If the first part didn't exist I don't think this boss wouldn't be as hard.

Not sure why but im vs alot of Artorias armoured lightning Spear Shield people in pvp
How is the stat distribution on that?
There is a clear difference where host is playing cautious and host not doing anything. I've literally had hosts using sleep gestures during whole bossfights and not doing any attacks.
Game is still early and people are first trying to beat before offering help themselves. That ratio will stabilize after a while.
You can't. Or at least you can't fight these bosses entirely by just blocking, you have to roll at some point or another. Maybe the Greatshields can sort of get you by on some bosses but even that is doubtful. Bosses hit hard and fast in this one.
I dunno, I feel like I had more frequent anonymous coop encounters when Dark Souls II launched.
You're welcome. That character is one my favorites, too. Definitely gave me the most feels. I think you're ok, but updated the last post with more info.
Just wait around the bosses and spam all the signs. I see a ton of signs, it's just a matter of luck to pick up the one that hasn't been picked up first. Fresh signs generally have the highest chance to get summoned (you can tell they are fresh if you hear their sound popping up).
It may take a while though.
DS3 co-op is way easier than BB launch co-op though. That was damn near unplayable.

I'm using Uchigata too (Sharp+10) and I'm close to the end of the game. How did you develop your build ?

Trying to get a judge on how far into the game I am. Really hoping I'm not near the end, but feeling like it. Please just PM me the reply, I'm avoiding this thread in hopes of playing spoiler free, but I don't want to beat the game on accident.
I'm at Lothric Castle fighting the Dragonslayer Armor or whatever he is called. Weapons are +9, so I'm betting this is almost it. However I haven't went through the Untended Graves yet.
This, NK is hard enough but trying to help while the host is on the outskirts just running in circles is annoying.

Aah i had a cool looking match against another Farrons GS user, might upload it later.
I've probably done more coop in this game through the password system alone (thanks for that, From) but I can't seem to get anyone to summon me, even in areas where I would expect I'm not terribly above the level curve.

Finally managed to beat the N
Got through the first phase without taking damage, burned an ember midway through the second phase, rolled over the spears, artfully dodged the lightning,then got skewered. It took another several, less interesting attempts before I repeated the above and manged to avoid being skewered. What a fantastic boss.
Onto NG+, and hopefully a better/more interesting ending.

I keep forgetting I can use embers in battle.

has just been a haunting, but enjoyable area. Totally missed it my first time through the area.
This game is so good, balance / upgrade material / technical issues aside.

Made good progress today, sadly I'm almost at the end 
Only need to complete the
Only need to complete the
Archdragon Peak, so 2 bosses left after the last one.
Follow up: I went down that ladder. That asshole was trying to kill me! Happy I did what I did!
Pretty standard stuff.
Vigor - 35
Endurance - 40
Dex - 40
Strength - 13
Fallen knight set the whole game. Ring of favor, estus ring, chloranthy ring, ring of steel protection. Had prisoner's chain on but once I hit 40 endurance it stopped giving me stamina so I took it off.

Going thro the Japanese items to check if I have everything before I start ng+ is a pain..
Started a new chara as a mage again, this time I'll stay on the mage path for all its course, using the previous playthough knowledge.
Honestly, I'm starting to believe they didn't bother to play-test a sorcerer pass the tutorial. That, or Miyazaki hates magic. After BB and DS3, if the next soul game has shit magic again I expect him to come out and emulate the other Miyazaki: "Sorcery was a mistake, it's nothing but trash".

Anor Londor, Farron Keep before the swamp.
Miyazaki/FROM nerfed Magic after Demon's cuz you can be pretty OP in it. Quite a shame.
LMAO @ 43 deaths at PS...
Yeah thats just you getting really lucky with them. I farmed those and didn't get a single drop in a hour with 99 Luck + Symbol of Avarice + Gold Serpent Ring + Rusted Coin.
