you lose all key items. everything is reset. you keep all gear and consumables.

Small funny Irithyll spoiler
I'm just running by a lot of stuff in NG++ and the wolf-crocodile thing you fight on the bridge will come after you in the water if you don't kill him. Heard a loud roar and a thump while moving towards the Irithyll Dungeon entrance and had no idea what was happening.
Like NK needed anymore reasons to be awesome.

I almost missed it. I was stuck on the Demon King boss battle for some time and during some of the runs towards the fog gate I just instinctively noticed something to the right.
Had I kill him on my 1st try I would just bonfire out and miss that area.
Crazy, no?

I kept track of the invasions I did today. Was trying to get shackles. 25 invasions. 20 of those were 2v1 or more, most of them with seeds. 4 were fightclubs. 1 was an 1v1. Stayed embered in downtime solo and was invaded 4 times. I've been complaining about this before, that's why I kept track, I absolutely hate this system of people with summons getting priority.

I think Mound Makers specifically target hosts with summons.
Yep. The Mound Makers are the Chaos covenant, and if you invade, it will target those with the most people in it (esp on both sides).
So I found it a little easier to let myself be summoned as a co-op (and then backstab them off a ledge lol)
seems it applies to all Invaders. seen plenty of red guys when i invaded as a MM.

My experiences as invading as a red has been pretty much the same.

Trying to wrap up everything in NG before moving on to NG+
Covenants:
Darkmoon Blade rank 2
Watchdogs of Farron rank 2
Warriors of Sunlight rank 2
Aldritch Faithful rank 1
Rosarias fingers rank 1
Mound Makers rank 0 (missed it in NG, have to do this one in NG+)
Transposed all of the boss souls
Traded with pickle pee for gestures/slab/sunlight armor
From all the souls from doing this I have 50 chunks, twinkling, and scales.
Am I forgetting anything important? Next on my list is to kill all the NPC's. I've already beaten the last boss I just need to choose the ending to move on.
Will I keep my covenants and ranks when moving to NG+?

such a major oversight to not let people check their current rank in the game.

Either kill S

Lothric Princes
So pretty much the end of the game.
If you don't care about the Darkmoon Covenant, go ahead and do it early.
FINALLY beat P
on my Soul Level 1 playthrough. Maybe now I can finally start getting a mind for being observant in these games for when to dodge, haha. Took so many tries before it clicked, and even then the bastard can force damage on you given the "right" setup.
I found a funny exploit though, which I'm sure is well known:
rinces
I found a funny exploit though, which I'm sure is well known:
he can't teleport to the fog gate. When the fight starts, just push back and he'll just go to where he starts (possible exception is the one where he appears above you as it seemed to happen anyway once, but it's extremely rare). This always works, as I started phase two this way too to give me a fairer shot to dodge the 50 stupid projectiles. Other times there's a lot less projectiles, so that's okay. But at any point you can push against the fog gate and he will teleport in place. Saved me some grief.

Anyone do a luck/faith build? Success with it? What were your Str/Dex stats?
I'm trying to fit it all in one. Str at 18 for Lothric shield, Dex at 25-30, Luck at 40, and trying to get Faith at 30 for Lightning Blade.
Hard to do under SL100 without leaving your Vig and End at 25 or lower.

You might get something useful from this, I was considering respecing to a similar build to try out Darkmoon Blade buff. You'll have to compromise something to fit it into level 100 though.

it's the best the series has done up to this point. people might miss the interconnectedness of DkS1 but yea, the level design is really well done.

Awesome! Thanks.
This quote right here- Bingo!
"If you didn't know faith gives anri's sword flat physical damage outside of the buff too."
I'm doing the Anri's luck/bleed build right now and want to switch from str/dex to faith to play with miracles. But I was concerned with the spell buffs the physical would be too low.
You get over 400 AR easy with 40 luck and some dex or str.

Yep pretty accurate, same happened to me

It's pretty hilarious they only have a leaderbord for the covenant that doesn't work for most of the players.
I love it. You can actually see the progression where dark soul scientists realized that ancient dragons are birds and not lizards and so nameless king decided to be on the right side and add feathers.

The top 10 guys have been really lucky. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place have 1132, 1131 and 1129 Proof of Concords given respectively (i wonder if these guys know each other concidering that its that close between them). 10th place has 700.

You monster, they trusted you!
I'm on the same boat, it's pretty obnoxious.
Estoc, and the Undead Legion set [minus helmet] I forget the name of the crown, but the shrine maiden sells it.
Yep. Another UI oversight that comes to mind is not showing a "number held" for weapons and armor in stores. It kills me when I'm not 100% sure I already have something.
On another note, what are some of the better spear-like weapons? My character has 40 str, 40 dex, and 20 int. I'm almost done with NG+, and I haven't even touched any of the spears or polearms. Any recommendations?

Kudos to anyone who can take on the Dancer early. I think I only died to her once on my first playthrough, but on my second playthrough it's taken me about a dozen tries, half of which it took longer to run from the Vordt bonfire to the boss room than it did betwen entering the fog gate and dying. I'm shaking from killing her - I ran out of Estus, had to use an Ember to heal and nearly died doing that! I just can't get a grip on this boss at all. I do have quite low HP, the grab attack was insta-kill, but these infinite stamina, giant combo bosses in this game are just not my style at all. Phew! I am DREADING NG+! I might respec and cheese with high magic just for this boss! Yuck!

Partizan is great. Good damage and terrific moveset and skill.
What did they expect from when they summoned a purple guy late game? lol
Funny enough, I did that 5+ times next to a shortcut. I would point to the shortcut to get their attention (I found a lot of people actually miss it) and then once they kick it down, I backstab them. The force of the backstab with my Claymore/etc pushed them forward off the ledge and I jump after and bring my sword down on them if they survive the fall.
I mention this before, but one of those times someone just wouldn't kick the ladder down and kept trying to fight me. So you can only imagine the evil smile I had on me when the guy FINALLY listen to me and kicked the ladder down, only to die to me.
I laughed. lol

Respec to get more health, or wear the ring
FAP...I know it's just favour now, but nothing will stop me from calling it ring of fap, nothing!
Bahahaha that's actually pretty hilarious. He was hesitant to trust you, and you proved his suspicions right. If I was that dude I probably would have laughed too.
I was only a purplebro to rank up, so I'd put my sign down and get summoned to like 1v1 and some fight clubs. Sometimes I'd get summoned to help since the host has multiple invaders and depending on how badly I wanted a covenant item I'd either help the host kill, or help the host die.
