Yep, I was leaning towards Gundyr's Halberd for that sweeping moveset and the charge that can punish dodge rolling chuggers.

NG+3 SL75 right now. I'm still debating if I should level up or not since I'm winning 90% in PvP and almost 100% when it's 1vs1.
The meta seems to be 100 or 120 depending on region/players but I like having an extremely focused min/max build.
I want to buy everything such as spells, rings etc for trophies during my initial play through.
Do any NPC vendors die/dissapear/stop selling items?
I have been focusing on aquring the vendors but not buying as of yet. I wanted to do thay end game when im rolling in souls.
I just beat the abyss watchers

Haha, yeah. They killed me so often on the Catherdral rafters. I'd say they are 2nd most annoying after Jailers.
You can't get all rings on first playthrough as some +1 and +2 versions only appear in NG+ and NG++. Out of the vendors there's only one that is possible to kill almost accidentally though you can still get whatever he is selling after finding his body, the items will just cost more.
You get some bonafide farming locations later in the game on so don't worry about souls. Just buy what you need.
They have one attack that is like a 5 hit combo or something that often staggers you. I hate those fuckers but not as much as the dogs. Probably the most annoying area in the game is that
staircase in Irithyll with dogs and invisible casters
you can spoil that vendor if you wish. Also im not the best player so I tend to have a better time being over levelled so I tend to allocate all souls to that.

Need some help, I've
killed all four lords of cinder as well as the optional bosses, but I can't seem to get to the Kiln of the First Flame. Any ideas why that might be?

You placed their ashes on the respective thrones, right? And then talked to the firekeeper?

1. Invade as a mound maker with red eye orb
2. Use red sign soapstone and duel
3. Set a password up with a friend. Person sign down must be using mound maker covenant. Use red sign soapstone to place purple sign down. Have your friend summon you. You kill your friend that summoned you and you will get a vertebra shackle. Then the friend that summoned you needs to re-summon you again. Rinse and repeat.

Skip the ember part. You can summon reds without being embered
In my experience, just equip the Mound Maker cov and put down your summoning sign. Much better then grinding/farming for the items. I got it to 30 in 3 days without too much effort.
Some people will summon you to do duels, so you will get some that way if you win. Some will summon you to a gank fest, so I recommend be in areas where the host has to go through a bunch of enemies if they are ass.
But most will summon you for "help". Just take your time and only attack when you see it's the best time. Hell, even if you put down your sign and have no intention on killing the host, if the host ever dies, you win anyways.
My best strategy was to wait till they were on a edge and just push them off. lol.
I got a good 5+ for just doing the following:
Works every time. funny too.I'm such an asshole. lol. I'm being a mad summon in G. I co-op for most part. But once the host reaches the 1st major short-cut that drops down the big long ladder. I then get behind them with my Hornet ring on and backstab them. Usually halfs their HP and the force of it pushes them off the ledge too. So they either fall from the fall or from me then landing on them.rand Archives

You can definitely see the influence of cross game development between BB and this.
When I got up to Grand Cathedral I started looking for Cthulu on the buildings.

Well the only two that have the sweep R2 attack that I've found are the Partizan and Y
orshka's
You will want to infuse sharp on these most likely too, but I'm sure you were already going to do that.
Just my 2c.
If your good with dealing with 2+ summons sure. Mound Maker invasions target those with highest number of people in it for max chaos.
People summoning you to help them usually meant I was their only summon, maybe a 2nd summon.
My way only took me a few hours as well. Prob no more then 4.

Roll away like crazy whenever the lockon breaks. I have killed that boss countless times now but I still die occasionally because of the exact same reason.

Honestly co-op trivializes every boss fight. I enjoy helping other people out from time to time but I would never consider summoning for a boss.

Same. I have never summoned for help, but don't mind putting my sign down to help others.
You only have to kill one on 2 v 1 so it's not so bad. Most ppl just hold their shield up at you so one quick shield break special and riposte and you can just wave to the other dude like a massive troll
I usually try a boss on my own first. Most times I'll try to beat it, even if it takes me a few tries. I don't try to hold onto any pride or so, I consider summoning when it's been a few times and I just want to move on.
I do enjoy putting my summon sign down though

Actually, it depends. The game will tell you how many you have to kill when you get summoned/invaded. Most times for me when invading, it would tell me I had to kill 2 or 3. Usually it's the # of summons already there. So killing the host or 3 summons can be tough to do repeatedly. I've certainly done it with vs 2.
Same here, I've helped a couple of times with some bosses, some times to know the fight before I jump in but I've never summoned someone to help me, NG+ I might though.

That's probably the most bullshit move I've run into in the game that isn't infinite
sky arrows

That combined with I
rithyll
It still shocks me people get hit with this.
When he shoots up just run away from him. I got hit and killed with it once, said to myself "oh it's an AOE fireblast", and never got hit with it again. I've beaten the boss probably 30+ times now and it still blows my mind everytime a host gets blasted with it.
The arrows are pretty easy to dodge too. Just run in loops around the pillars and remember that the arrows only damage when they fall, not when they are on the ground. The only BS part of that move is when he decides to throw multiple homing blasts at you during it, which after you get hit with it one time it should be enough to make you remember to swing your camera behind you and pointed at him at all times when you're running from the arrows.

Same! I've got in to a groove of watching it when eating dinner, now what do I do!No new ENB ep yet
Also if you just stand back a bit and don't wail on his legs, he never does the attack. I always hate hosts who don't get that attacking the legs is deliberately very futile.
If you're a mound maker the easiest way to succeed in PVP is to win the host's trust by initially helping them, then turning on them when their back is turned or they're swarmed by enemies.
Londor seems to be the guess thus far, though it may be one of those "so obvious it won't happen" type of bait and switch style things.
Yep. Just keep hitting his head and he goes down very quick. All of NK's moves during that phase are heavily teligraphed, so just go two handed and the boss will melt in like a min to you.
yup, the key is to run forward as soon as he flies up in the sky...don't run behind him...run forward away from him and you won't get touched by the fire
For days now it's the first thing I do when I get home from work, it's become a ritual. I've been F5'ing his page lol

The best way to kill them is to wait form them to stand up and run at you. If you hit them during their run animation it stuns them and leave them open for a riposte. The weremail kicking my ass before I discovered this.
