Start running.
Bait a running attack from the host because they don't know better than press R1.
Parry and proceed to destroy him while the other 2 phantoms watch with impotence how their gank party ended in tragedy.
Use your favorite gesture and laugh at them

With a weapon with broad sings its totally doable especially if you get the jump on them. The trick is to use the environment and retreat when necessary. I just got a few 3v1 wins collecting 30 vertebrae and in most instances the just got greedy thinking they cornered me, but Gotthard's twinblades have one heck of a range and arc horizontally. In other cases they would get separated by the environment, which makes a person easy to pick off. I also like to after blue spirits if they just got summoned in they seem to not have a real feel for the tempo of how things are going, so they can laid into quickly and removed. Like I said earlier though if its a gank squad forget it they are way too prepared know the area and sometimes have friends laying in wait.
A parry hornets ring insta-gib works too.
They are about the same honestly.
Invasions, PvP and PvE wouldn't be much of a thing to complain about if they fixed sliders.
During my sunbro helping for a few hours last night I had 5 out of 21 slide which made the boss stand still for me so ez kill + some had sliding invaders while the host was all fine.
Super annoying as its hard to counter what you can't see, literally have to predict what they might think without movement to support it.

Rosaria's Fingers and Leonhard quest spoilers below.
Is there any point in giving Rosaria her soul back? I can still do everything normally either way right?
Surprising to read that, I consider the OST to be on the same level as the best stuff off Bloodborne.
Don't give it back, because then
you would be missing out on a spell.
her features are available while she is dead.
I really don't know why you would give her soul back. You can do everything without giving it back.

Sooo is this game considered laggy? I was just summoned twice. First time I couldn't enter the fog to help the guy out and there was a mob frozen on some stairs. The other time me and the other pahtom couldn't get hurt by the boss but we could hit him. He was just floating/skating around the arena looking all goofy until we killed him. Kind of funny

Like a boss
I found myself in the reverse situation with me running at them while the bridge fell. I made it, rolled passed them and used my Force Miracle to knock them all forward off the cliff. I'm sure they were pissed that they basically killed themselves cutting that bridge~
I got a

I'm feeling lucky.
Does anyone know if I can

Does anyone know if I can
cure the Hollowing caused by Yoel's questline while still getting the corresponding ending
Nope. If you
heal the Dark Sigil then you cannot get that ending. However, you can use Purging Stones or Velka's statue to reverse the effect until you die again and still get the ending

Bridge souls is best souls lol.
Ah, crap. Is the
ending really that different? Or is it just some minor differences from the regular endings?

It's my new favorite Invasion spot.
While I appreciate stuff like that those guys make themselves to be on top invasion priority so you get constantly matched with them. It sucks big time since it just wastes your time after the first time.
They are all
very short, but they are pretty different. But if you listen to what the NPCs say about what they will help you do (i.e. which ending path you will get), you know what to expect.

Same. About the same number of hours, more or less (one or two max was for PvP or helping randoms). Level 90 or so.
You can parry?AldrichWeird, most of his attacks seemed magical. Or do you mean spell-parry? Interesting...
They seem annoyed. I would be too.
Haha nah! I made an edit. Got

It's literally
a slightly different 10 second Cutscene. This game is not about the story and they sure as hell dont give it to you at the end
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Not quite yet! I will make one eventually
I did a complete playthrough with that knife. It's pretty great actually. Some bosses bleed more than others so some will be quite tough but I found it to be a really fun weapon and the quickstep is pretty useful.

The soundtrack is so epic and memorable :O
Mid-game boss spoiler in the name, obviously
...and this one. I love how it suddenly goes from sad melancholia to epic camina burana.
Boss name, again...Just click and look away if you only want to listen
The almost russian sounding second part makes this one:
I liked that fight, too. Especially with more people. Poor dude!
Do you guys have any favourites?

Fuck. Me. I fucked up the
ending. I was super careful of going and doing everything I needed to and I blew it because of a message. At least I got my Black Blade to +6 now which beats my Uchigatana.
Usurpation of Fire
I think it depends on the spec levels.
I'm in a pickle because I poured stats int both STR and DEX, and my Greatsword has a C in both, so it scales from both of them. However, if use a heavy gem, it will up the STR scaling, while eliminating the DEX scaling, which actually averages out to a lower score in the end.
Sounds like you should use a refined gem
I looked at that too. Same result. I think it might just lower the base damage of the weapon too much.

Yuuuuup. I didn't realize it until I was about to make my last swing that something was wrong.
Guess I can cure my hollow status now.

While the letter grade may not necessarily go up the scaling should still be better.
I'll recheck when I get back to my apartment later today (like, way later), but I went through all the gems, and they all added up to something less than the damage output I was giving. I know with refined gem, it was literally only like a point or two less, but still less.

- Use the environment and other enemies to your advantage.
- Go after the phantoms and kill them to get Estus flasks back.
- Running away and doing a sudden turn around parry can win a fight.
- Throwing knives and Kukri are handy to have when someone is backing away to heal. Likely faster than any spells or pulling out a bow.
- There's no invasion timer, so run around and take as long as you like while dealing with the host and phantoms. The longer you stay the more likely another invader will pop in to help you as well.
I never really liked ganks in the previous games but being able to get more Estus from killing phantoms has changed my tune. I've done heaps of invading and it's been mostly ganks but in this game I love it.

Then you don't have enough points in either to be worthwhile. But with almost all the quality weapons like the claymore refined is better.

If you have the gear required, consider this method:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qIP6HuCwaI
I actually got 10 per hour (but I've invested 15 points into luck, so theres that) I got my first 15 shackles through mound maker but I just got bored of 3v1's, as others have said, once you nuke the host, you've won, but it still takes way, way more effort than just farming those 2 dumb ass skeletons.
From has really done a number on the convenant rewards this time round, and mound maker might have the worst rewards of the lot. The pyromancy spell, warmth, while cool in concept heals very little, you could argue that it would be great if you got hit with an Undead Hunter charm, but warmth doesn't do anything an equivalent 25 faith miracle can't, it might have some arguable usage if it used int rather than fth...
and the rank 2 katana has some of the worst base dmg of any katana in the game, even if it has good scaling. I'd nearly rather the covenant rewards were purely cosmetic and were just for show, and it least it would be more honest than the bargain basement junk they give you for all your hard effort.
