There isn't much optional stuff anyways, so it's unlikely to add a sizeable playtime to your current run so far.
You have to literally touch their backs, like brush up on them. Then hit the button.

Finally killed the
. Didn't realize melee attacks were stronger than my dumb range tactic.
Also, what level should I be around at this point?

Killed
. No summons.
Got really close the first time but ran out of Estus and had to go all out. Died when the boss had 5% health left. Second attempt started off horribly with two grabs right off the bat...
I'm probably too high level by now since many others had more trouble with these bosses but I don't consider struggling for hours to beat a boss fun. Also Dark Blade +8 is OP as fuck.
Still loving everything about DS3. Hopefully I can finish it before Uncharted 4 comes out but I should make it just in time for the launch.
Aldrich on my first attempt and Dancer on my second

guys i have a question does armor make a big difference? I was using a tanky knight shield and 1h class. It was going well until I needed to dodge more rather than blocking. I was using the cathedral knight armor set. Which some of you may know is very heavy and reduces movement and dodging distance. But then i switched to the fallen knight set good defense and much lighter. I can dodge farther now and move faster. I was having trouble with abyss watchers until i made the armor switch got him down quick after that.
So my question is heavy armor mitigation worth it to sacrifice speed and movement?

The Watchdog covenant is definitely broken. I can very quickly find opponents with the red orb in the relevant areas. So I can't be too high level (level 40) but I've been running around with this covenant on for an hour, and still haven't been summoned. I'm embered. Is that a problem? Do you have to be in non-ember form for it to work?
Question regarding assisting npcs in their world.. If things are going sour and you are sure that they are about to die.. What would be the way to save them? Returning to your own world? And how would that be done quickest?
Edit: i am about to assist
So any info would be appreciated.

Biggest available player pool without PVPing at a super OP level lol

Use light/medium armor, and if you want to get tankier pump points into VIG. It is not worth it to invest in heavy armor unless you want to look cool.
Heavy Armor / Tank builds got nerfed hard in DS3. If you want the full scroop read this:

after this summon i'm done with pvp. the lag, phantom range and stunlock can be ignored for so long before it becomes unbearable.
Community agreed upon in which a natural progression stops to make PvP and PvE still work with a majority of the playerbase.
However 120-125 will probably be the new SL meta.

Matchmaking rules are different for DS2 and DS3.
Phase one use the pillars and zig zag to him get as much damage as possible, second phase when he called the arrows I ran a lap around the room then when I get to him beat his ass, stay really fucking close so his life scythe won't hit you.
That sounds disappointing. Every other souls game took me like 40 hours or so to beat.

I dont think its possible to get matched up with someone and being super OP. If you get matched up with someone, their level should be about the same as yours. But yeah, its about the biggest available player pool (not sure if theres any statistics to this however).
How does the long sword compare to the Astora straight sword?I just upgraded a Dark Sword to +10 now to check it out, it does 253 damage on the same boss i mentioned earlier. So its a bit stronger than the Long Sword, but not that much (253 vs 232), so now i know exactly the differenceYeah, i also like the stabbing attack with the Long Sword.

Lol, that's what I do as well. I usually just end up wasting time around the one or two areas they have to go through to progress and they show up eventually.

I opened it by getting hit by the ballista while near it.
Those dam arrows are my biggest problem but I was always dodging out of them. I'll try it your way.

not different, probably just more balanced, assholes with dark sword aside.
Go to 120 bro. You know you want to.

/hurray @ 15 Shackles lol, still so far to go.
I'm actually having fun now though invading real people's games instead of just PVP summon city. I've never really done it before in other Souls games. Always just been a Sunbro.

Completed Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2, but I'm not really enjoying this early on. Should I plough through? Still very early on at the 2nd bonfire in the first world proper.
Doesn't help I've wasted about an hour trying to kill that katana guy!
