It's better to kill that cathedral knight than skip it. Rush in for a backstab roll away and it will start a buff. As it buffs rush in and spam a 2-h r1/rb. It should die before its mace connects. This work at 26 str and a claymore should be fine with a dark sword too.

I loled. The ending of the 2nd clip was straight out of a slasher film.

Hell yeah, now I can get both the miracle that makes you tank stuff AND the laser beam of win. Thank you.
Wait nooo.
She's a firekeeper in my game. Maybe I already bought it.

It does but I was also part of them just now. Its because I farmed medals and then someone invades right after I've been summoned. So we make short work of that guy and continue to the boss door.
Yesterday I was farming Schackles and was on the short end of such scenarios a lot.
Thanks for the answers on luck. I'll try it out. I had a messy build with which I finished the game. Now, before going into NG+ I'm trying other builds but nothing is really sticking or feeling fun. I want something that will be good in PvP and still be good in pve since I play on going through the game a few more times. Any recommendations?
I tried str/faith and found it underwhelming. Next I'm on Dex/int and same thing. Feel like the spells are mostly just a side thing so not really feeling it. Maybe a pure magic build would be fun but I'd save that for another character. Kinda feeling like sticking to something melee. I will probably try dex/luck next but I'm open to suggestions.

Did you meet trusty Patches?

Yeah, I black crystal out of most 3v1s and 4v1s are just the worst.
But, 1v1s and 2v1s aren't so bad.

Spells that aren't Pyromancy seem to be pretty weak overall. Purely physical builds seem to be the way to go at the moment.

Same, but I'm at level 75. PvP is really good so I don't want to level up anymore.

Join Aldrich Faithful! SL 50-70. You invade with another person from the covenant which helps against gankers. Most fun I have had in PVP invasions so far.
Pyro picks up mid game. You can totally melt bosses with Chaos fireballs and Chaos Bed vestiges.
But the slower cast time + more aggressive bosses means that this is harder than previous games. No running into a fight and winning with two firestorms.
I also had all four of my ring slots dedicated to pyro / fp, and have less health and take more damage as a result. Not to mention the stat investment means, while I do good pyro damage I can't use most of the weapons in the game and don't have a comfortable amount of vit, end, or vig.
And then in PVP the only useful spell is unlocked chaos fireballs, which is fun, but I rely more on a flame arced buffed weapon, which would do way more dmg if I had dex/str investment.
I think the PVP meta should be 120 so casters can stand a chance. A melee build can feel like it's done at 100 but definitely bringing my pyro to 120. Even then a level 100 pure physical character is probably better off :/

2v1 with newer Souls healing speed is pretty annoying.

I think you can make any boss bleed if you hit them enough. Warden's twinblades with Carthus Rouge applied to them procs bleed like crazy, it's so satisfying. Might be my favorite build for bosses.

I feel like there are too many covenants in this game.
It should be:
PVP covenant
PVP host defender covenant
Chaotic covenant that can kill invaders or host
Co-op oriented covenant
Then have an option for auto summons (not for the white or gold signs), so you no longer need Way of the Blue. The Mound Makers would also get more work (who would summon a purple sign once you understand what they do?).
Since this would lead to a lot more multi-character brawls the PVP covenant would still have duals via the Red Soapstone.

1v3 and 1v4 sucks, but certainly possible for 1v3 if at least 1 of them is an idiot.
I was once in a 1v4, with 2 of them being Blues. I mean, what the fuck? lol. Did almost win.
Also, I find it interesting that I get summoned for Aldrich Faithful constantly back to back within seconds, but never once for the Watchdogs cov. Interesting.

I'm SL90
. Trying to farm. Not going so wellThere's a NPC summon if you need help.
No... I feel like I've missed so much of the NPC stuff this time round. Can't find Sigwurd, couldn't find Horace in the catacombs and now I was supposed to have met Patches...
Where is Patches supposed to be? And Horace if you don't mind. If either are spoilerish, let me know

Agree with this. Maybe make a weird sound upon spawning. I don't see why anyone would summon a purple over a white or gold.
Easily.

Head back to the cathedral of the deep. Up the elevator shortcut by the main boss and around that area you should find Patches. Sigward should be in the well by the Chapel bonfire. To find Horace, cut the rope bridge by High Lord Wolnir. and climb down it.

Just upgraded
to +5. My god, this thing just shreds in PvP, definitely found my new weapon.
Lorian's Greatsword
I'd set it a little lower than Dark Souls 2 right now, it's missing a lot of QOL of life improvements from that game and PVE and PVP are kinda limited thanks to it sadly.
So I'm currently level 99, getting things done before going into NG+. Since I've amassed a few Titanite Slabs, I'm curious about respeccing some to try other builds. As of right now, I'm running a 30/40 STR/DEX build with my Refined Greatsword +10, but I'm interested in my other options. Faith? Luck? Any ideas?
At the moment, no. It might, if they step it up with the DLC.

Luck + Anri's sword is god tier.

Meet patches
If you've already done so then every shortcut needs to be open.
There's an easily missable one that you can reach via an elevator on the area leading up to the boss. You'll have to open these gigantic double doors
I thought I was finished with Cathedral of the Deep. I saw that elevator after you cross that bridge at the top but didn't know how to get down there. Can I drop down?
You could climb down the rope bridge??? Shit. I just saw Anri at the bonfire in the church place in Boreal Valley... Am I fucked?

I had this same exact idea. You should be able to help the host or be turn hostile instead of being just hostile towards everything.
Well I just summoned three of them at the same time. They are great if you want to have chaos in your world but otherwise white or gold is better.

x10000000 than DS2.
Better animations, combat, bosses, lore, all of the things from the better SoulsBorne games.
This is the real DS2.

This is hilarious. A poise mechanic is in the game, all with poise related items that increase it but the entire system doesn't work and/or is turned off?
I'm wearing light armor the entire time and didn't test for poise but how does an oversight like this happen?
Was it disabled in a patch or was it never working here to begin with?

QOLOL ? haha just teasing
Man I swear people invade me and I never get a notification that I'm being invaded, just randomly a phantom out of nowhere haha.

You can. You have to go the chapel bonfire, there should be a elevator right by it that you can take up. Kill that one guy and walk around the building edge and you will find a ladder. Climb it and you will be able to drop down on the roof. From there you can enter the balcony beams in the cathedral. But meet Patches first. He should be in the Cathedral near the "front door".
Well if you find Horace and tell Anri where Horace is at, Anri will try to find him and die.

Might as well do the
Cathedral of the Deep since you have to do that anyways. After you kill the boss in that area, return to Farron Keep.
Yep. I knew right off the bat when I started moving the player character and they didn't have that shit dead zone movement that this was going to be one of the good ones (ie every one except DS2)
You know what's worse? When it's 3v1 and the hosts uses a seed too. Fucking lame.
The hilarity of that spell is too much in pvp
All the spoilers from above

why are the npc story requirements so damn stringent and annoying this time around? i need a freaking excel file to keep track.
i broke 3 npc lines by mistake in a single trip.
