Well I suck and it seems like it'll be a very long fight. I'll try though, thank you.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Going through the first phase over and over has got tiring just to get bumrushed by Mr Infinite Stamina chain attacks.

Did you already get the secret fusion sword?

With STR and DEX so close, why not go Refined first? But you can see the outcome before you apply them.
They Stack! I tested to make sure. With only the other, it was 216 on the guys at U

Enjoying the game a lot, but the greatest hits of From Software nature of the encounter design/areas in the game, plus some blatant references are a bit off putting. The game still plays beautifully, and some of the bosses have been super legit, but it just isn't as creatively interesting as Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne.

IMO during the Japaneses release, these knights were way worst. Now they can be stagger.
somewhat compare to no stagger before 
About the camera issue I am seeing being mention again. The camera lock on is a tool that can only be useful during the right situations. Against fast large bosses its prob best just to lock on and lock off during the fight. I believe ENB was the person that mention that.
Anyone?
I accidentally aggro'd Leonhard by falling on him twice in the same Firelink visit. It's going to cost me 48,000 to absolve my sin but since he
turns hostile later on anyways, do I even need to bother? Will he still show up as an enemy after joining Rosaria's Fingers if he's hostile, or do I need him friendly for that to trigger?

Mid-late game question:
In Anor Londo, I can see a bonfire when I turn the contraption to get to the one before the boss, but I can't seem to get to it. What's it called and how do I get over there?
Just walk on over

With the platform raised up to anor lando, go down the stairs, and step over the bridge into nothingness, it seems like you'll fall but they are actually invisible platforms, go straight until you're near the bonfire and then turn at a 90 degree angle to drop off at it
Maybe foreshadowing?
I actually know what you're talking about, I just have no idea. Might want to ask the lore thread. Open spoilers within.
Quoting for a new page. Don't wanna bother this soon if it's not going to be useful til later on.

Yeah, fair enough - I just have a lot of trouble with.. actually choosing things. I'll take a look with the current weapons / gems I have, and see what fits me best. I really wanted to go with the whole 'dual wield / twin swords' thing, but people are saying not to do that so I'll stick with a light sword but with 2H. Thanks for replying!
I was under the impression that Refined was for STR/DEX. My STR is around 10 points less, so would it still help? I really only wanted the minimum STR points so I could use weapons, which is why I leaned towards the sharp gem. But true that - Dark Souls just makes me question every decision, even with infusions like this. Never had so much trouble picking an upgrade in a game before lol. Thanks for replying !
The starting pyro spell is great against the first boss and first *real* boss.
You'll want to rely mostly on your handaxe for getting through the level though.
Some people won't use certain weapons if they're not the best in their class or whatever. Pretty sure if you liked some dual swords and upgraded them you'd be fine.

Are Spears in this game not very good or something? I've never seen anyone use them, and people rarely talk about them.
Pyromancy was super useful in the early game for me...
Lots of early enemies are weak to or staggered to fire damage... Like the zombies that have HUGE coal like beasts erupt from them.
I feel that it's usefulness in terms of damage output wanes by the 30% mark...but it's still nice to have to comfortably finish off a boss from range when they're at low life and thrashing about in desperation...
I've never put any additional points into INT or Faith... So take that for what it's worth...
The lead up animations to most pyromancies make it too scary to use for up close fights... Or fights with enemies that can close distances fast...
Thanks, will try there! I already finished the game, but that is puzzling me.
Spears are boring as hell.
Someone wrecked me with a greatlance in PVP yesterday though. But otherwise they haven't been a problem for me. I had a really hard time against spear users in DS2 PVP but not so much this time.
NG++ with an int rebuild is super fun so far. Just beat P
. He went down like a bitch. A lot of the bosses seem easier with magic than melee and a few much harder.
My new favourite thing is to get invaded and then use the Chameleon spell and watch the invader run around for yonks while I watch TV on my laptop until they eventually give up.

I tried the Partizan for a bit. Damage is decent but the moveset sucks to me.
Yeah, spears could viciously combo in DS2 with high damage.
This is amazing XD. Love how those 2 White phantoms casually walked into sight when hè entered their trap. I totally thought that was it until there appeared a sunbro to Block the door too. Haha
Invaders were ALWAYS the ones who got ganked the most.
If you host yourself, you didn't have to worry about getting ganked. In previous games it was always getting summoned to a world with 2 sunbros+the host farming invaders.

. Is it hard as a melee character? I'm a pyromancer, and that was damn near Pinwheel tier easy. He only hit me once, probably only attacked about four times, and I only hit to hit
with about six or so fireballs to kill him. Granted, a lot of my fireballs missed due to the camera/lock-on and his moving around, but still.
EDIT: Oh... oh my. That next area. I'm guessing that this is the area people are referring to when they talk about one being absolutely beautiful. It's fucking gorgeous.

If you can't accurately predict where his hands are gonna end up after his various moves, it can drag on a bit longer than it otherwise would. Eventually he winds up spawning mobs including
Skeleton Wheels
and he reaches the top of the arena you apparently instantly lose
death gas attack

Right before the last main area.
Wolnir
Naw, he's pretty easy. You just need to
take out the ring on his right arm first, it's the harder of the two hands to get to IMHO and trying to get that one later in the fight makes the fight hell
