133 hours logged...I think it's time for a break.
shit like this is why I'm glad I don't go out of my way to do trophies if it's something I wouldn't do for fun

Thanks. Using the dried finger did help. I guess it is true that the extra covenant invasions occupy a slot so you have to make an additional. Thanks guys!!
I only do it for games I have fun with. Dark Souls is fun and the farming isn't really that bad.
The rapier. Not great as a main weapon but it boosts your item discovery.

I heard is inmediate, like after logging back to the servers you should get the message, I would restore a previous save and be safe.

So I just got to
. My question is, how many areas are in the game? This appears to be the
Area. I know multiple areas can appear under a single icon, but it looks like there should be a place for one more icon...

The game doesn't end immediately after the final boss. You can finish the game, then find the things you missed if you want.
Without spoiling it's just before the boss.
Gotcha. Thanks!
lol,is that some kind of nursery/fable/fairy tale story...? I had never heard that before.

Finally beat
after so many freaking tries (30 plus). The trick is to mix dodging and blocking in the second phase. Thankfully he wont be as difficult on NG+. Very proud of mysekf for having beaten every boss thus far solo and with no buffs. That said, you gotta do what you gotta do at times so not knocking anyone.
Awesome, awesome game. Definitely downloading DKSII:SoTFS next.

Holy shit, you got 5 in just one hour? I've been averaging about 2/hour so I'm jealous.
I probably should have done every boss solo in one of my runs, but I just love coop so much. It just wouldn't feel as fun without a buddy/buddies.

Now do it naked, only fists, and parrying.

No thanks lol. Just beating these boss is satisfaction enough for me. Awesome that people can do this though. Saw someone beat Kos that way.

It's good he addressed it. Unraveling the secrets and mysteries via communal effort is part of what made playing Dark Souls in the first days so special.
Now you have guides and well produced videos about Dark Souls 3 listing 30 ingame secrets or whatever weeks before its release. I wasn't there during the Demon's Souls days but there was the same kind of community exploration going on with Dark Souls and I really liked how week after week people kept discovering new mechanics and lore. I miss that.
It's in Dark Souls 3.
Apparently it's a nod, or at least was derived from an old poem:

I know it's not really something you can expect from a Japanese dev on PC, but I really wish this had native DS4 support. More and more games seem to lately.

Why didn't you two-hand you weapon by the way? You didn't seem to really do anything pyromancy-wise aside from buffing your weapon at the start.
Starting a fight club is hard, man. I just tried doing it in NG+ U
S
, summoned a few mad spirits, used dried fingers, put down prism sones to make what I'm after clear...
Well, it worked for the first two. Then all of a sudden I had 2 mad spirits and one dark spirit after me. Managed to kill 2 of them(and then another one was summoned) before dying.

Hey thanks
I tried 2 handing but didn't get very much more damage per swing but each swing took quite a bit more stamina, so I just stick to 1 handing for the most part. (at least that's how it works for the raw broadsword - maybe it's different for raw astora's sword)
To make your choice even worse- heavy armor is trash in this game
Yea, wtf was i thinking.
why does a spell have to do with beating that? Just bait the attacks
KittenMaster

I've found that 2 handing is only really worth it if you're using a heavy strength scaling weapon. Even on my refined build I find the stamina increase too costly to be worth it. I have no data to support it, but it feels a bit off compared to earlier games.
Btw, grats on that nk kill at sl1, mighty impressive

Spoiler for locations:
1. Under the
lift in the church/chapel. It's a trick lift like the one in Undead Settlement. You activate it from Grand Archive.
2. In Grand Archive,
hidden behind a bookshelf. You pull a lever to lower the bookshelf and a chest shows up which contains the slab.
3. In Grand Archives,
kill the 3 fat knights on the rooftop. You get a slab, the first time around.

Why do people do any optional content? Why do people waste their time playing video games? Why do people do anything besides eat sleep shit die? Because they get satisfaction from it. He wasn't having fun getting the achievement so he quit. Why are still having these arguments in tyool 2016?
I've never messed around much with Covenants in these games, but I decided to try them here.
After hours spent beating
and
as a
, I have to say - that was really tremendous fun. Summons were instant, and had a high success rate at the bosses, too. I was a damn expert at
by the end. We'd bring in 3 phantoms, two would die quickly, and I'd still get the kill in the end. It's also clear that summoning only one phantom is the best way to go about beating a boss - you can still trade aggro but the health boost isn't too high.
But what's the best way to do the other covenants?
in particular feels impossible to get summoned for.
I don't want to move on to NG+ until I've done all I can. I'm seeing a lot of people mentioning grinding items, which is something I really don't want to do. Right now I want to focus on
. How do you get their item?

First phase, stay under the dragon and don't lock on. If you see him fly straight up, run like hell in the direction he's facing.
Second phase is actually pretty difficult coz he's tanky as fuck. Use fire/magic buffs and dodge his attacks or if you have Magic Great Shield spell and a great shield then mix up blocking and dodging. If all else fails, summon meatbags.
