You don't get the buff of a shield if you don't have the strength to use it.

Some said so too but some still have hitches.
That's a shame :/

Oh man, had some fun doing PvP at the usually place. Like 4 phantoms and the host just watching two people duel and taking turns. One guy dies the winner stays the challenger goes forth. Nice little gauntlet.
I definitely still get the 20% souls dropped with Shield of Want without the strength. The stamina icon still shows up when I use grass crest so I assume the regen works too. I'm always munching grass anyway.
No, I did that and it broke the quest.

Anyone have an extra crystal rapier they can spare? I exchanged the crystal soul for one of the other spells and can't buy it till the next round.
This is nice to hear, can't wait to try later. It's the only performance problem I have that's not related to online skating.
I don't get this. Do invaders even have anything to lose if they die? Don't they just go back to where they were with everything as before just like in co-op?
Nah, in this game you lose your souls and the bloodstain will be where you died in the host's world. So if it was in a bad spot in your world it can be tricky to get back to.
A pretty interesting change, I like it. MIGHT make you think about luring a host into a dangerous area.

That double-spin + sweep from the Exile Greatsword gets so many people in PVP. The speed, range and power (Sharp infused) is really good.
You can dodge his flurry of purple homing missiles by just walking to the right or left. After you get through those missiles, rush him and only retreat if you see him raising his bow to the sky. After midway through, his arrow stream will last significantly longer and pursue you. Try running from the arrows while circling back around to him so that you can get in some hits as soon as the arrows relent.
Whenever he does a Great Soul Arrow, there will be another.

He gave me some problems at first as well, once you get his pattern down though he's pretty simple. Just did NG+ and got him in one try.
Whenever he puts his spear in the air to charge, get ready to roll to one side to dodge the magic spear. He always does 2. The flying little purple balls magic attack is pretty easy to dodge, just start rolling when they start to converge. As far as the arrows as soon as he pulls out his bow start to run in a straightish line to avoid them. If you stay close to him (assuming you're meele) his meele attacks are easy to dodge and he tends to stand still for a fairly long time so you can get some good damage in. Be aware at the halfway point his meele attacks leave fire trails on the ground that will damage you though.
Good luck!

Except no one is invading with a lot of souls. If I invade I don't care for the few souls I have on me.

Few things that helped me as a Knight fighting him
-Run at him at the start and swing away, stay close to avoid the arrow spell from starting
-When he disappears go to the middle and wait to see where he appears and run up and repeat (usually appears on the opposite side of where he was before)
-When he puts his arms up to disappear watch out for AOE
-When he looks like he is about to arrow you to death either run and dodge for you life or circle to the sides of him, that usually did the trick and I would avoid a death.

Not necessarily true, I've invaded with a lot of souls quite a few times since I needed tongues/ember/for shits an giggles.

The arrow spell is pretty heavily telegraphed just keep backing away and rotating around to avoid it. Also Vow of Silence prevents the boss from casting spells, so that might be helpful.
That's not true for me. If I wasn't going to level any more for an area I wanted to invade in I could have a lot of souls on me. But yeah I don't really care about the souls that much. There was one time where I made a suicide run to my bloodstain in this situation though.
Yep. When I invade, I only do so if it's low and I don't need it.
I also think it's only for those that use the red eye orbs. I believe if I were to be summoned, like for the Aldrich Faithful, I never lost my souls if I died.

I don't like this change at all. It's dumb and doesn't make much sense. Plus it's unfair to red orb invaders as invaders from other covenants are not affected.

Yeah, I agree. Just makes it more of a hassle to invade

Does killing the dancer early lock out any quest lines?
I asked this earlier and was told no, it does not. I'm planning to do that route on NG+.

Yes exactly, why would you risk a corpse run? I'm not saying people don't do that, but imho it is silly to invade with a lot of souls. There is no reason for that except if you don't care losing them or you're silly.

I wanna start a third character primarily using magic with maybe a little bit of sword play... What's a good starter class for that? Sorcerer vs Cleric? Or even Pyromancer.. I'm not too sure what the differences between Miracles and just.. spells(?) are, so I'll have to look that up.
But yeah, I want to try a mostly Faith/Luck build

-Raw Broadsword is working pretty well for me so far. But I'm only at the
road of sacrifices.
I'm guessing late game bosses ate going to be a huge pain with such little stamina and HP.
I did beat it solo doing this basically: Dodge, one hit, dodge again and one hit again, and so on. Once he gets his bro just wait untill the magic attack is over and repeat what i said before.
Camera can be a pain in the ass in this fight so keep moving it around.
Quick question:
The lady in the chair near the second boss, all the messages say that I should kill her to access the stairs. If I do, will I miss out on any content/event or lore? Or is she like Willem from BB that is there just for the killing?
I'm already in the moon city (forgot the name), and I'm constantly coming back to the old lady to see if she says something different whenever I kill a boss but nope :\
Please avoid any spoilers in the answer!!

Twenty attempts so far today on the final boss. Thankfully the Irithyll Rapier seems to be fairly effective, keeps staggering them relatively consistently.
I can consistently beat the first phase, but as soon as they enter the second, it all goes downhill. The gaps for opportunity attacks seem a bit too small to dash in with a shorter precision weapon like a rapier.
Plus, considering how they fight in that second phase, not being able to parry them feels like a slap in the face.

In the first run i would avoid killing her. Do it in the NG+...and you will understand why then
Using the sword ring. Shield ring is a good idea.
Probably add Anri's straightsword or broadsword, but reinforced club is getting shit done
Quick question.
What do I put in thebut they didn't want that.birds nest on the roof of Firelink Shrine? Being optimistic, I dropped some rubbish there,
The wikis have a list of items you can trade.
You don't need to save/reload this time. You can just immediately pick up an item after dropping it.
Various items.Quick question.

If you don't want to spoil yourself completely on the wiki, here's a hint:
The old King of Dorchester,
He had a little orchestra,
And never did you hear such a ceremonial band.
Pickle-pee, said the fife,
Pump-a-rum. said the drum,
Tootle-too, said the flute,
Deed-a-reedle, said the fiddle,
For the fiddles and the flutes were the finest in the land.

Someone from reddit posted a video showing poise does not effect roll recovery frame. Apparently it's your equipment load.

So poise is still a mystery.

So..... they want items that make sounds like a drum or a trumpet or something? Is that the logic? :S

No, thats to get a shortcut back to the bonfire on the dilapidated bridge, theres another bonfire pretty much right underneath where you're standing in that screenshot if you go to the top of the stairs behind you, right behind big scary cage soup man, to your left you can jump/drop down to a plateau with a tree right on the edge - thats the safest way to get to it. If you still need help I can get a screenshot for you.
