They go away after every ng but Yah the cost is the total you'd need to level 5 times (or however many you have).

It's
the church across from Vordt where you got the banner and Way of the Blue.
I think it's really dumb the game doesn't make it more obvious because who would remember that? I really dislike the teleportation used here.
It's the area where opposite of Vordt, where the old lady (Emma) gave you the small banner at the start of the game.

True, but you can check around the area before triggering that boss though.

It's crazy how deep the lore is. I've been watching YouTube videos for the past few nights and it's like a history book.

Either that was just a rumor or they patched it away. I'm guessing that it was just a rumor. I actually tried it earlier today and i got nothing.The major online wikis say that the symbol will be auto-dropped, would they lie?It used to be true afaik.
Man, INT60 build with all the sorcery boosting items is damn fun to help out fellow players defeating the boss. I just stand there and spammed all my spell nukes, I just took a chunk out of Champion Gundyr with one soul crystal spear and he was dead within less than a minute.
yeah.. pretty sure I killed them all with no dice. Damn.
Maybe I can find someone with a spare to trade/donate later tonight. Thanks for the replies guys.

If you're on XboxOne I have a spare.
I'll offer a PS4 one if that's the console you're on.

I'm doing this right now as well, my first character used Sellsword Twinblades and Sorceries, but this new one is a basic ass knight.
My tip for you on D
ancer
get ALL up in that shit, I had a lot of issues (my first hard boss on this new run), but once I stopped trying to back away and run from the spinning attacks in the second phase and basically just try to roll and strafe around to her ass, everything went a LOT better. Good Luck!
PS4, but thanks!
Hey! It would be much appreciated. You needing anything in particular?

Cool deal man. I'll hit you up when I get on later.

Wear the gold serpent ring to up item discovery, pop a coin also. Yes you can get them from ones you got the item from but haven't killed, use a Lloyds Talisman to put them to sleep, you can do this repeatedly without having to rest a bonfire I would wait until the effect of the last one has worn off, at least that's what I did, it took 4 talisman's for me until it dropped and this was my final mimic, phew!
edit - Lloyds Talisman = Charm things, whatever they're called now!
haven't even gotten a definitive lore video from ENB yet. it's gonna be amazing once he finishes the game and starts to analyze it.

Making a new character for low level PvP Where is a good place to stop? SL60? How far do I upgrade my weapons?
I saw a video that you can farm mimics without killing them by using hunter charms. I'm not sure how it works. I tried it on one mimic, it opened up, I took an item out of it, some sword, and that's it. I reloaded the game a few times hoping that the symbol would be there but nothing else happened so I killed it and got nothing. Is there a correct way to do this? I'd like to get it on my current character.

I don't think you can farm them, using hunter charms makes so you can get their items without killing them. That's all.
You have to use items that raise discovery and hope for the best when you kill one so you can loot their head.

Just throw a charm, let it sleep for a while, and do it again when it wakes up. Repeat! No need to quit or anything.
I got it after 5 charms or something. Use a Rusted Coin and the Gold Serpent Ring, if you have them.

Here's a GREAT video detailing why poise should not be a thing in this game. It comes from a mainly PvP perspective, but the points he raises hold true for PvE as well.
Ds3 without poise is fine. If you want to use a heavy weapon prepare to have to properly time you attacks better and utilize more efficient spacing.
There still needs to be something to make heavy armor builds more attractive but as its stands poise it not the answer.

Ah.. So after the charm, even if I get an item, when the sleepy effect is over I can try again and the symbol will eventually be there? Interesting, I will try that when I get home.

Yep, it re-rolls every time!
Thanks for clearing that up!

My equip load is 38.6/ 55.0
But i already have what seems to be a fat roll. Damn. Wasn't it around 70 in DS2?

My first playthrough took about 30 hours, my follow up playthroughs (where I'm still doing everything and getting all the loot) are about 10 hours.
Anything over 70% gives you fat roll. It shows you the percentage on your stats screen, you are just slightly over 70.
Pretty sure he said no video today.
Cool, I'm still pretty slow paced, my first playthrough was over 30, so I imagine my second will be over 10 but it sounds like a reasonable amount of time to go back and check out the NPC quests. Especially since the one I did go all the way through with was really cool.
It is. And you are above 70 already with that equip

You can see the percentage in the upper right hand corner. Keep it under 70% for good roll, under 30% for best roll.
On another note, any updates on when PC is getting 1.06?

Oh right! How could I forget that? Haha. I mean Denial was in DS2 too, but it was so useless in comparison (required like 3-4 slots and expired after a while, plus it was a late-game DLC spell). Tears of Denial isn't as OP as Second Chance but still pretty decent, saved my ass a few times.
True but I do wish Lightning Spear weren't so utterly useless.
I guess. It reminds me more of DS2's infusions, but I guess the Sharp/Heavy gems are reminiscent of DeS, it just uses the far superior infusion mechanic.
Good ones. I noticed the shield resemblance too, but forgot to mention it. I think Blighttown is closer to Valley of Defilement myself, though. The first part being all rickety wooden structures and pitfalls, the second part being the mobility-limiting poison swamp with slugs and club-wielding assholes and reduced visibility.
Really? I recognized the place instantly. And I knew something was going to happen because I saw all those bloodstains so I just used a homeward bone to refill my estus, cash my souls and returned there ready and sure enough the boss showed up.
Haven't even watched the video and I agree completely.

Just finished the game, and this was my first real experience with the stream controller (bought it with the bundle on sale). Incredible. Such a steep learning curve coming off using a dual stick controller for the last 15+ years, but so worth it. The mapping, which allows you to have roll on the left flap and item on the right flap, you never take your thumb off the steering. Its absolutely incredible to be able to flick and look a boss right in the face, instead of pushing a direction on a stick. If there was ever a game that sold me on the steam controller, it was this one.

I'm guessing they're gonna nerf some of those. In the past games you couldn't stack that many active buffs at once, only one at the time. Well, you could at release and then it got patched. So maybe it'll happen again.
Saw this yesterday. To think I died to this boss so many times (only second to NK,) goddamn.
Another Demon's Souls throwback I haven't seen mentioned:
being able to transpose the swords of both princes into a single one, like the Northern Regalia.

I'm going for a knight with some bow usage, no magic probably for my first DS3 playthrough. I should be paying attention to Vigor which i have it at 14 now, Endurance - 12, Strength - 16, Vitality - 16 and Dexterity - 15 right?
Oh and that dragon in High wall of Lothric, he seems damn strong. I could buy a ton of arrows and eventually kill him from a far, but is that worth it at all?
