This area is simply easier to run through and unlock all three shortcuts, to be perfectly honest. And summon signs for it are not prevalent, simply because it is a difficult level with cheap enemies, and not likely for player plus phantoms to reach the boss in one shot. The most important shortcut is the one from the room past the dragon worshipping corpses. Unlock this one and the rest is pretty easy. It's past the two giant rants. When you get out to the large room with many jailers, go through the door on the left.

I got to P
without a boss encounter in either I
- I knew I missed a lot so will be going back but this has been a pretty intense stretch of areas and STILL a lack of appropriate upgrade materials, I've found one Chunk back in the S
I think and another from trading with the crows. Why so mean with upgrade materials? The enemies in D
drop regular titanite and sometimes large like candy - by the time I got there I didn't need either for my main weapon - I really like to get ahead of the curve with upgrading and this game has never let me do that so far.
Those disgusting insect enemies with long hair in the water - YUCK! They remind me of a cross between two enemies from BB - the screaming dudes that run at you in Chalice Dungeons and the insect vagina flower things. Ick.

Killing Yuria does nothing at that point, the ending will still happen if you try to link the fire. She'll even implore upon dying for you to continue the path.
But you can still get the End of Fire ending.

Upgrade is somewhat locked behind progression. You'll get shitload of Chunks.
I maxed 7 weapons during my first playthrough and didn't really farm much for them yet. Some required titanite, some scales and others twinkling.
In fact, i miss a Slab. I know which one.

Or you can upgrade to max early if you rush dancer in early game.
In the end you'll get a ton of chunks. You can be +10 by the end of

The game doesn't allow one to really get ahead of the leveling curve with weapons. Chunks will become more plentiful after you've obtained three Lord souls.

Archdragon peak, pesky rolling fuckers drop them at reasonably rate when your item find is high. The ashes required to buy them is also there.

Yes and there are ashes that add them to a vendor as well. Both thing are in a late game optional area called A

Characters in Dark Souls 2 regularly have no idea why they're there. Everyone in Dark Souls remembers why they're there. Hollowing was indicated to have more to do with a loss of hope and a lack of Humanity, not "they forgot everything and went crazy." The Undead also isn't a "curse," it's a symptom/ effect of the Fire fading. Dark Souls 2 did add something interesting in that humans could go beyond the power of Fire, which would tie in with the Dark Lord ending. It's not that the Undead need to be "cured" so much as the bigger issue that humans are separate from the Fire and don't need the gods to prosper. Of course, ultimately neither Dark Souls 2 nor 3
explain what the fuck the Abyss is, so we still have no idea what's going on.
There's a difference of perspective between what some of you want and the vision they had for the series. From Dark Souls to Dark Souls 3,
the old gods still exist and certain groups have been inspired by them, but the names of Gwyn, Seath, Witch of Izalith, and Nito aren't significant to the world at large, which has been built on top of the old world, rather than rewriting it. Dark Souls 2 suggested that the old world is simply gone entirely, that it's been replaced multiple times, nothing is remembered or important anymore.
Essentially, Dark Souls 3, a world with tenuous but significant connections to the past, as an actual sequel to Dark Souls, versus what some people here seem to want, Dark Souls II-2, where all of the games take place in entirely separate places that are simply in the same universe built on the same rules of reality (Undead, Linking the Fire).

I thought it was better than farming Petrified Dragon Bones in Aldias keep, but I hate these motherfuckers much more.
Though like 6 spawn in a barren area with only one weaksauce hexer inbetween the bonfire and them.
But that FUCKING headbutt or gank rolls.

Good thing is they also drop Twinkling. Or bad if you don't need them, lol.

Which ring is that?
I think lore purposes. Nothing major.

Anyone?
Yep! Although, he's optional.
Oh really? Interesting. Apparently there is still lot of wrong information about this stuff then.

Defeated the Twin

Can someone explain this:
From the patch notes
Made the requirement for joining the Rosaria's Fingers less strict.
I mean I thought you just asked to join... How less strict could it become?

Yeah, my brother is dreading that one for his 100% run.
Basically going to require a perfect fight because at ++ that won't be easy.

ooooh, yeah, okay. I saw them for sale from the Shrine Maiden. I'll just do that, then. I already set
Archdragon to Nameless King mode
SkylineRKR

Not sure, as joining Rosaria's Fingers
doesn't upset that 1 NPC, only using the cov item or offering the tongues to her upsets her.

I didnt know that you needed the + rings for trophy. Guess i have to go to at least NG++ then
There are even developer messages telling you what to do for that one.

Anyone know what the great chaos fireorb scales with. I've been seeing things that say it doesn't scale off of ing/faith, and I may want to change my build if that the case...

Managed it first try and it was rather epic and unexpected.
Isn't it darkmoon? but yeah.

I have pet theory that
DS2 and DS3 are two similar, but separate timelines, a key difference being whether Vendrick successfully built Drangleic or not.
I see your point, but I don't mind the amount of covenants, so much as how they are used or how simplistic they can be. If I had to make a set of covenants it would be this, using the four types you mentioned as a base:
-PvP covenant (red). Engage in invasions using an item and can put down names to be summoned. Can be two of them in one game, can summon an ally with an item if the player has 2 co-op phantoms. (This could be two covenants depending if you want to include dragons.)
-Chaotic / Sin covenant (purple). Engage in invasions against players who have acquired sin (broken covenant, indicted after successful invasion, kills NPCs) and can put down their signs for summoning. Only one of them can be in the game, they can attack anyone except the summoner if he is in their covenant.
-PvP defender covenant (white / blue). Engage in counter-invasions if a player is invaded by a red phantom, put down sign to summon as a co-op phantom. Appears blue to members of "co-op" covenant. Can have up to two white phantoms.
-Co-op covenant (white / gold). Can be automatically summoned by an item, put down sign to summon as a co-op phantom. Appears gold to members of "defender" covenant. Can have up to two white phantoms.
-The defender and co-op covenants are actually hostile to each other. They can attack each other freely, but not the player unless he is also a member of the other covenant.
-All four covenants would have an area and boss fight (covenant leader) tied to them, with a possible exception of the co-op one. While a non-member is in that covenant's area, they be invaded by opted-in members of that covenant. The invasions would use differentiating mechanics (Rat King-like traps, Gravelord enemy buff, etc).
-Give an ending for each of the covenants that requires slaying all of the other covenant leaders (also endings for slaying all of them). In the post-game (before jumping into NG+), throw in a bunch of tough NPC phantom enemies from the other covenants to make the game harder.
