It's just amazing that people have to resort to farming enemies for hours to get the covenant items instead of enjoying the covenant itself. I'm so glad all I wanted was the Obscuring Ring from Rosaria's Fingers and that pale tongues are so easy to get.

Are you embered?

I am not, I don't have any! Don't tell me I'm going to have to go back and buy one?
Sorry, you need to be embered to summon, try to help someone with the boss so you get embered, that way you don't have to buy one.

You must be embered, so yeah.
Covenants are broken so why bother. I tried doing Mound-makers the legit way but all I got was being ganked left and right. That was no fun. Invade, 3-4 guys destroy me or use seeds and also destroy me, repeat. The only covenant that worked constantly was being a Sunbro.
i need to clarify that i'm doing them strictly for trophies.

What issues do you NOT have with it compared to other designs? Being ambiguous as to lore it's fine as other games can and have done it and it works well in here for the community to discover and discuss the story and Lore together.
But the side quests you shouldn't have to worry that missing an encounter of an npc locks you out of the next one and that npcs quest line with no information whatsoever to make an informed decision without having to look it up online from people who have tried and failed before.
In this game we have npcs die when you enter a new area with no indication as to why. If you didn't do y before that which makes another npc appear then congratulations both of those npc questions are locked for you. Heck a whole fucking ending is locked for you in this run without even being given the option to decide.
Didn't open every single path way in an area? Didn't meet a completely different npc that you don't even know up until that point? Didn't go to a random background item that you ignored multiple times before? Did you turn on a bonfire because logically you would want to be able to warp back there when you want to go to that area later, but forgot to meet the npc at a different area that for some reason you u absolutely have to meet there before being going to the new area?
Congratulations, you just broke another 1 or 2 quest lines, maybe even got another npc killed. Good luck finding a body to regain shit.
So much shit is tied together with no indication. You can miss out on items, trophies, and even armor/weapons. It's not even vague, you absolutely need to have this information present to be able to do it all.
Depends on what you want to do with your character.
If you're into organized PVP, currently most PVPers stop at lvl 100. If not, then go ham and level up all you want.

Like ever in a Soulsborne game?
Congrats, I wish I could taste that sweet, sweet nectar again.
You don't need to be embered to place your sign.
Try moving a bit, it can be finicky about where you place it.
No you shouldn't have to. Try setting it right at the bottom of the steps.
Why can't you do both at the same time? Farm covenant items while you're waiting to be summoned to defend an area.

Eh yeah kinda sucks. I just dont get summon for the watchdogs or darkmoon/blue sentient convents. Think I only for summon twice for each and I played atleast 100 hours since the Japaneses release.
edit: also should mention I do enjoy getting every armor sets, weapons, magics in the souls games as well. So for me, its not that bad.
If you ever want to cheese the mount makers, let me know

But, like, if I don't level up at all I'll eventually be pretty underleveled for NG+, won't I?

It's being obscure for the sake of being obscure, and it sucks. A lot of the quest lines are great but if I didn't look up anything I would have missed a good majority of them.
He needs to summon, not be summoned, he needs to be embered.
Password is neo right? I don't see anything yet
I see, yes, in the regard that completing it yourself without any online knowledge is pretty tough, I think maybe FROM intended for these quests to likely fail the first time and that you would finish them through trial and error. I feel like the quests are extremely easy, but also easy to miss out on as you pointed out.

Yes, I laid in at just at bottom of stairs. Character name is Easton, password 'neo'
Ok I'll refresh my game and see if it pops up that way.

Holy shit, I tackled that fight 35 levels above you and it was still hard. Can't imagine how difficult it must be at level 54.
He takes a lot of damage compared to
Dragonslayer Armor
Dancer
I doubt it, i killed Dancer of the Boreal Valley right at the start of the NG + at lvl 104. And it was pretty easy to be honest.
Tho i keep lvling, currently lvl 122.
I felt like I didn't even have to dodge him a lot of the times, his attacks would just whiff.

My summon sign visibility is set to Unrestricted. This correct?
It's almost impossible for me to summon anyone in the
in order to fight
. One in every 30 or so summon signs actually works, something is seriously wrong.
So I'm gonna do it solo. I can get him on the ground and down to about half health before I get killed.
But yeah, anyone else have big issues with multiplayer in this area?

That's what mine is and I still don't see it. Let's see if changing the password will help. I just set mine as gaf5. Do that and lay down a new summon sign
my gt is also: ChadDaniel
Yeah I would just leave for now lol. It's definitely doable but hard as fuck. I was level 74 when I beat him but I had to resort to kiting him with arrows because I was too scared of him.
What platform are you on?
Also, you need to summon, not be summoned, wait for OUR signs to appear, don't put yours.

yes, it was an awkward fight considering how fucking insane
the damn tree is, or just fighting any darkwraith was harder. Darkwraiths fucking cheese you....you could literally back attack them and they don't get animation locked and just turn around, grab you and drain you.
Also change Matchmaking to Worldwide. I dunno if that helps.

The thirst for sunbros for
The Nameless King
edit: sorry something urgent came up so I have to get going. But looks like you dont need me help either way
Dex so you can actually use fun weapons.
I don't think there's an issue, I think there's just a ton of people summoning there. If you put your sign down you're pretty much instantly summoned.

Everyone is. There are just a ton of people wanting help their so the people who put down signs literally get summoned instantly. So you just have to keep trying and hope you hit a sign as soon as it pops up, or wait a while until things calm down as more people beat it/give up for good.
The thirst for sunbros foris real. If you are on PS4, I can help out.The Nameless King
