I still can't get summoned despite waiting for five or ten minutes after placing my sign. Invasions work, covenant matches are frequent, but I just can't manage to get a bite.
It can't be a network thing, can it? I managed to be summoned a few times in the early game but ever since Farron I've been unable to help anyone.

The place you're in is your last non-optional location. After you kill the boss there, then it's off to the endgame.... Which is pretty much just the final boss.
End game zone so to be expected.
Just to reclarify, that's the hard dead-end point until you actually have the other lords of cinder. That's the trigger to let you access that area.

178 deaths and 3,560 push-ups later, Dark Souls 3 is complete.
Death Toll would've been sub 100 if it weren't for
Seriously though, 60% of my deaths were in the last 15% of the game.

Were you doing push-ups when you died...?

Hmm finish my PC character? Or finish the grind for platinum on ps4? Hmm
I could swear I felt a difference the first time fighting him with a lighter load. I still died after getting him to half of this health. But it gave me so much confidence, I immediately returned and killed him rather smoothly the 2nd time... So it was all in my head???? :O

Literally every online encounter I've had today has involved everyone just gliding around. I don't think I've had this issue with any other Souls game.

Dimmle, any chance you've forgotten to delete a matchmaking password or something?

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
I assume I'm near the end of the game if I've defeated
?
Either way, I just found the optional area
for the first time at level 82. I think it's preferable this way, as I can easily see this being a ridiculously annoying area for a weaker character. I was able to practically steamroll the enemies. I handled
very well, too, leaving me with only a few bosses left (just defeated
, who was very fucking creepy).

So I accidentally attacked Siegward near the elevator because I thought he was an enemy. Now even if I die and respawn from bonfire, he automatically is still aggro'd.
I done fucked up in regards to his questline didn't I ?

I haven't seen him. I'm guessing he's an extra hard optional guy?

I just defeated
but I've hit a dead end. Any tips on how to progress to the next area?

i kind of wish phantom npcs could just invade you even in hollow form
right now it's very difficult to play even a little bit in ember form without being invaded and it's not like you're gonna have a fun duel or anything, they'll just hit you in the back while you're crowd controlling and then run away towards clusters of enemies when they're low and out of chugs

Man! Push ups per death sounds genius. I think I'll implement that too.

No... haven't bumped into him. There's probably a new area entrance somewhere really obvious but I haven't seen it yet.
Yeah, I think their servers are pretty maxed or something. Either that or NB cheaped out this round.

Instead of going in the water tunnel with all the The Grudge spiders things, continue a bit further down into Irithyll Dungeon when you reach that river type place

Wtf the D
fog gate is really bugged online. Twice I've been summoned to help and twice I've not been able to enter after the host.

Yup. All that's left to do is place the
remains of the Lords of Cinder on their thrones and then talk to the fire keeper to be whisked off to the final boss. Or you can do the optional location, Archdragon Peak. But that can wait until after if you want.
You need to back track, specifically to the
lake under the bridge with the horrible spider women. There's a door that leads to a bonfire.
You could go offline for just npc invasions.
Yeah I'm cooping him right now as well and running into the same problem. Half of the time I get summoned it's fucked.
I ended up doing a completely offline run to find the phantoms I've missed without having my time wasted with invasions.

Thank you both! This game is so good, my mind's been blown a couple of times already.
watching ENBs videos really shows me how well designed Farron Keep is. From putting fast grabby enemies so you get caught if you try to run through the water, to making you go to three specific areas so you can't just beeline to the exits of zone, plus how its situated around the rest of the gameworld and fits in the lore by being a trial for the watchers to go through

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan the slow buildup to a later game thing is fantastic.
The area slowly gets more recognizable and then

That reveal was pretty great. One of my favorite moments in this game for sure.

Switching to a heavy weapon for that section makes it super easy. You can just knockdown the
jailers
It's defintely one of my favorite places in the game. I hated it at first but it grew a lot on me. It's dreadful going there which is reminiscent of the places of 3-1 and Upper Cathredal Ward

One of my favorites too. It was slightly annoying at first, but once you realize how obvious the placements of the

Best part is
I am pretty sure you can see (what looks like) Anor Londo right at the start of the game
Even with a complete PvE setup I have a very high win rate against invaders, but Blues need completions too! I'd be more than happy to let Blues and Reds go at one another without interfering. So far no Blue has show up on time. Twice I've killed an invader just as a Blue was warping in. Free duty fulfilled or whatever it is they earn.
I've been leveling up both and my build is STRdex. So far I've stuck to my guns with Zwei even in PvP. Really have to stick and move or learn when to trade. Still going strong.
