Oh wait, i'm wrong, I was still thinking
deacons of the deep was an optional boss, but you need that doll to access Irithyll. So yeah that makes Crystal Sage a required boss as well.
Sorry!

Just wanted to comment on this post and say this was exhilarating to watch, especially knowing it's your first try. Awesome job. Nice parries.

Yet you still don't understand the problem? At 50 STR, a +10 Great Club has 470 AR, while a +10 Dark Sword has 407. The Dark Sword can land two hits within the same time frame, for just under equal stamina cost. Range and hyper armor aren't significant enough to warrant that kind of descrepancy (Dark Sword has the stomp skill anyway). UGS are just too damn slow and give too little damage for the opportunity cost in both PvE and PvP. You might find that slow, precise style "fun", but it's not anywhere near as efficient. It's not limited to the Dark Sword either, but it's one of the best comparisons right now.
The first Dark Souls did larger weapons right, because poise actually mattered. This game is basically Bloodborne as far as armor is concerned.

He/she did, but only after I healed myself a couple of times (well I had to deal with enemies after all), but reading this thread now I think that maybe the invader thought that I was accepting a duel since I bowed to him/her. Anyway, I think I got the idea now following what everyone is telling me.
I finished the game within 25 hours, so you're definitely taking your time haha.
The game makes invasions more frequent for those that co-op. So it's more likely all 2, 3 or 4 people were just playing normally and the game choose to bring you to their world since they had more people. The more co-op, esp using the dried fingers to get a 3rd summon, will make it so a 2nd invader can show up.
So I try to think of it less of gank squads, and more people just trying to do co-op, without the intention of killing invaders.

That Demon
boss was so fucking hard, I had to cheese him by running away and chipping away at him with my upgraded bow.

If he didn't leave you alone when dealing with enemies, he's not treating it as a duel, so you would be within your rights to heal
Some invaders, like me, are more nice and bow/say hi to our would-be-hosts. I like to give the host some time to prepare, heal/etc. I still then heal and everything and try everything to kill them, since still an invasion. But I like being kinda-nice.
Though, if there is 2+ people there, I tend to just wait by hard enemies. Though, sometimes that is obviously a bad idea as the host then goes summoning more people and then a blue shows up.. lol
I did the same. Took me a few minutes of playing ring the round the rosy with him, but did get him. lol
Lightning is what you want to go with for Faith builds.

Take your time, there is no rush. It took me about ~35 hours to beat the game my first time. Prob be longer if I didnt play the Japaneses version first (cant read Japaneses and had to rush the last few areas due to RL things).

That's a big one right there. I do the same thing. If they want to abuse their "host advantage" then I'll do my best to be a dickass invader that they have to work for. Of course there are going to be invaders that do that from the get go though, just like there are hosts that hang out with gank squads. Nothing you can really do about either other then your best to waste their time.
Those things last too short of a time and healing is too fast. People can easily just run until it wears out then heal before you can get a hit in.
Good post, I actually like this too. However, I can see how others might not.

95% of my invasions for me have been 2v1 or more. I have only had a few 1v1 invasions and I hate dueling because I like the play dirty.
It could also be a fight club which I always try to destroy if I invade by acting like a willing participant and then trying to kill the host.
I am sure there are some people that summon their friends and just wait for invaders and wreck them but most are probably just going through the game.
NG+ you may have more 1v1 fights since people are leveled more and have gear.
There is a secret bonus crab if you destroy the second rolling skeleton ball in the Catacombs by killing its skeleballmancer. It appears he was inside the skeleton ball the whole time. I would like to know the lore behind this tiny crab boy.

get to it from the next area...if you have the right key, you're in the right area. Look for a window to jump through

It's your shield for the parry's. The best is the buckler because it has the largest parry window. The window your shield has is less which makes it seems harder.

its in the same area as the key. On the roof with those hand monster things, you can jump across to get access to the area.

Where is everyone? Trying to invade folks
Where is the best place to invade?
Where is the best place to invade?
I'm 35 hours into the game and my last boss was Exeggutor. I do understand that I usually take twice as long as the HLTB time for my first playthrough, but it absolutely blows my mind how people beat the game "doing everything" in 20 hours or less on their first playthrough. No way.
These guys had cleared the entire area out of enemies and either were at the beginning of the level or waiting somewhere to ambush invaders. This was practically every single invasion I got today. I also invaded the same world bunch of times in a row and still they the same thing. Their only intention was clearly to gank invaders and it sucks since they are on the highest priority and you get matched with them constantly.
People trying to get through the level with 2 summons is fine and I don't mind but at my level that isn't happening and it is always a gank squad.
No, you can only get him to 1/4 health and then it flies away. I cant remember the item it drops though.
Killing it is extremely easy.
Just buy something like 50 or so arrows and orient yourself so you're directly under it. Far enough away from the tower door that you can aim at a part of its body with your bow, but close enough to the tower door so that his breath attack doesnt hurt you.

I'm early game (have only beaten three bosses) and am getting tons of invasions at the second bonfire in Undead Settlement.
Souls games always compress with knowledge so I usually go from 70+ hours on a first run to 30-40 on a second but 20 hours on a first go is legitimately amazing.

The Profaned Capital
What's up with the leveling discussion? I feel like I've seen people saying to stop at SL 50 for some reason. Is that a thing? I'm at 61 and I still want to drastically increase a lot of my stats.
I don't know what to tell you.
23 hours and I finished the game and beat all but 1 boss.
Lmao wtf is this?
Is it a test copy or something?
Seeing as it's saying "Dummy" with the overlay
Unless you're really, really good at the game I don't see how this is possible if you fully explore, try to do quest lines, and do every boss.

It all depends on your level. 30-40 swamp area
50-60 catacombs and the boreal valley area after that and maybe further
70-90 the castle and adjoining areas
90+ NG+ probably.
