My god
was such a fun fight. We were both one hit from death, and I accidentally pressed my roll making me narrowly miss his
. Bosses like that make me love the game. Shame the abyss watchers were scrubs because both these bosses so far have been the coolest.

CHAMPION NINJA KICK
Heh. When [Orbeck related]Yuria was asking me to murder Orbeck, this was on my mage build, so I said "fuck that, my sorc bro is staying alive" and refused to kill him regardless of what the reward might be. My friend told me "oh do it, she gives you something really cool! just buy all his spells and it won't matter if he dies" and I was all "but... he's cool!" and he laughed, even offered to somehow dupe the assassination reward for me.
Then eventually I did buy all his spells.... and he said such nice things like how grateful he was to me and all that.
....Then he runs off somewhere and gets himself killed anyway. ;_; Well at least I don't feel guilty about turning in his ashes, lol. I never betrayed him!
... I did look up where his ashes were. Didn't feel like scouring the entire game for them.
Wow, I never had this happen. Probably because I didn't find Orbeck until much later. Pretty crazy the minutia of things that can happen based on who you talk to and who you find first.
I think I will go back to SotFS some time. I only beat it once and it was a p quick affair.
By that time I had already played Vanilla DS2 like...seven times? on console, then a few times on PC. I lost count. And then I did a PC run just for the DLC. I love DS2 but honestly SotFS arrived at the moment DS2 could no longer keep my interest.
I def think them waking up is superior design. Hell, I always remember that in some interviews or design docs of Dark 1, they had said the Black Knights were going to actually roam around the levels. They haven't really delivered on that kind of design in the soulsborne saga, with enemies barely walking around a few meters of their spawn point. It would work beautifully in some of the most connected areas of DS3, but alas.
If DS2 proves unpalatable to you in the long run, something I heartily recommend is to play Dark 1 with the aggression mod on PC. Enemies are all aggroed, and will walk towards you from around the level. Hell, even Havel will sometimes show up uninvited because he is loaded, but the door that stops him doesn't always load.
It's an awesome experience that let's you enjoy Dark 1 as a new game. But it is also a lot of work and sometimes you REALLY gotta cheese the enemies or it is imposible.

He's doing slow episodes to be complete for the most part. That's his living. People seem to forget that.

My experience with Orbeck was the same as my experience with every sorcerer NPC in the series before.
That is, I talked to him with >10 Intelligence (because I play a full melee STR character) so he was like "as if, lol," and then he never showed up again.

Northernlion's LP is hilarious. He's using the Farron Greatsword and spamming the special skills to flippity dippity all around and it is astonishing how effective it is for him. He'll do it on narrow cliff edges and be fine and then eat shit from those fucking Pontiff Knights. He hasn't changed his starting armor so he's just taking two hits and falling like a stack of paper.
Pontiff Knights were my kryptonite. I eventually just ran past them fucks.

Heh, I wonder if it works if you wear the ring that boosts int?
enb is one of the few peps I'll watch do a play through. Shit is relaxing, and it's great that he is so far behind me so I'm not getting spoiled on some really cool locations.
Yeah, I haven't gotten into SofFS until just now. I think they intended that seperate path to be completed later in the game. So I just gave up trying to run to the optional boss. The main path is much easier.
I was also playing around with the Company of Champions. I had it on for the duration of my initial treck to the boss. I even had it on for the Dragonrider boss, and my health was so low as a hollow, so I just made the decision that I will have to beat the boss without getting hit once, which is doable. Made it through. I forgot I had it on and then when I took it off, I noticed a huge difference. Those solaire-like white knights though are still pretty challenging on normal difficulty. I'm going to have to try again later when I can tank through more of their hits.

How many tries did NK take for everyone, if you solo'd him?
I feel like an odd man out cause it took me 8, but then bosses people beat first try took me like 15 lol

No idea, I just put a few points in INT on NG+ just to recruit him.
Probably 15-20? I spent two hours fighting him for sure.
I chose Deprived, lol, so I made the bare minimum requirement for him to respond to me. Deprived has some benefits besides early game difficulty after all! Otherwise I never would have put points into that stat and never would have been able to interact with him.
I'm not saying shooting the dragon isn't easy, I'm saying the game gives you a less tedious way of fighting the dragon.
Its arm is corrupted, and you can kill the dragon by melee fighting it in Lothric Castle.
I sniped zero dragons in my playthrough, I was just pointing out that they actually did change that aspect from DeS.
Morrigan Stark
Arrogant Smirk
I didn't count, but I'd estimate roughly 10-12 tries.
I also sniped them,
because I didn't look enough to see that you could drop off the side at first. However, I had an Onislayer Greatbow, which seems to me to do more damage than the Dragonslayer Greatbow, so I used that as well as some arrows from a standard bow to make short work of them. The weird infection/possession still remains even when they are dead. It's a pretty cool little tidbit I didn't find out until later. However, I did think it was weird that they both died at the same time when you kill one of them with arrows.
I guess they both disappear because they know sniping the dragons was a bad use of people's time. I don't get how that concept came back in Dark Souls after it was pretty annoying in DeS.

3 (I threw the first fight willingly lol)
But....I was playing pure caster so it made it trivial. Other bosses that people plowed through took me 10 tries.

Pretty accurate if you ask me.

Also, some guy tried to softban me earlier I think.
Got invaded on ADP before going to fight NK, he dropped a trio of items (One of them a weapon) and immediately left. Yeeeeeah, nothing suspect there.

two tries
but to balance how much of an easy time I had with this boss, the game had made sure I got my souls experience with Dancer which took me like 20-25 deaths.
Fuck these Vicar Amelia-like bosses.

at least 10 for NK. I got used to the camera in phase 1 after 2 or 3 tries. Then phase 2 happened and I felt like a scrub again. Great boss.
She won't even show up, ever.
That's a bummer. I guess I'll just
look like a zombie
a nice, sturdy helm that won't show my face
lol she didn't have a living arrangement conducive to playing a PS4 game and didn't bend over and take it when Smelter Demon stuck her in the geometry over and over again how dare she

Yeah I can't him seriously with his complaints when he shits all over people in this community (like ENB and Kay, two of the most likable people in the community) for not playing a game as quite as fast as the people in a specific thread of a popular online gaming forum. The fuck lol
Can anyone help me find Anri? I wasn't following the quest line closely (I just wanted chameleon), but I think I messed it up.
I beat
and talked to Anri at the firelink shrine, but neither Anri nor
were at Central irithryll and I went ahead and beat
then beat the P

I beat
Abyss Watchers first, Wolnir next, then Deacons

beat it on pc in 50 hours played. another masterpiece from From. i think i got the crappy ending
but that's ok i'll replay it again when the DLC comes out to see about the other endings.
the only thing that bummed me out is a lot of the cool looking armor/weapons weren't very good stat-wise

I have always preferred Vaati or silver mont for lore. Like I said I don't mind Marcus but to me he's just another guy, not some sort of deity...no one deserves that much status and it puts a lot of pressure on people to get it. I think Marcus really enjoys not being part of the guide this time so that he can I deed enjoy a blind playthrough. Our society is doing better with this aspect, TV and movie stars are still the rage but you tube did a lot to take a piece of their Godliness.... For example Randy Rhodes was an awesone player ....who is now emulated and even surpassed by x number of 13 year od girls on you tube...its awesome.

I like Silver Mont but ENB's quality is far beyond everyone else's.
Silver Mont's lore videos are few and far between

You are vastly over rating the popularity and status of ENB. He's just a cool bro who plays DS and does a good job explaining the lore. He's not some YouTube superstar.

To be fair, he's also a cool bro that co-authored the DS2 & BB official strategy guides. Maybe not a YouTube superstar, but definitely a superstar in this community.

Guys, I need some clarification before I continue
Can I talk/start Rosarias fingers? I got the
. If I can, will it affect ANYTHING be it endings/items etc? I am trying to get as many things as possible in one go, I didnt talk to rosaira because I heard sirris quest line is conflicting. Am I 100% in the clear?
Before I send out geriat(sp) the merchant, what do I need to do in order to ensure he lives? patches does not have the onion armor anymore.
Thanks !
ps. How far am I?

There is something that seemed odd about the story/lore makeup of the game. Like there are a few very major things that aren't/don't seem connected. The entire decent into Irithyll and seeing all the things that revolve around
Pontiff
Also Irithyll itself was beautiful but it really didn't have the same "this feels like it could be a real city and not just a guided tour through a video game level" feel that even other areas in the game had, let alone what Yharnam had.
So I got invaded by two Aldrich Faithful right after the Pontiff fight. Somehow I managed to fight them off, and when I was about to kill one of them, they both healed.
THEY FUCKING HEALED.
It was already a 2 vs 1 thing, why do you have to heal as well. What the fuck happened to manners?

Manners? In a invasion? lol This isn't a red soap stone duel you know.
Free-fall-all when it comes to covenant invasions like WoF and AF, TBH.

For Rosaria's Fingers quest,
you have to complete the ENTIRE Sirris quest before equipping the Covenant item, respeccing, changing your appearance or handing in a Pale Tongue to Rosaria. Doing any of these things auto-fails Sirris' quest no matter how far you are into it. You have to complete her quest completely before you can do Rosaria quests, or miss them until the next playthrough.
It's an invasion. They get to use whatever means they have to win, and so do you. Give POS invaders no quarter, summon help, pop Giant Tree seeds, have Way of Blue on so they get bluebro'd, all of it. Punish them for ever stepping into your world. Duels where you do a summon sign, they should IMO follow a bit of etiquette as the Souls community has kind of come to expect it in those scenarios.
