The PS3 version has the DLC included on disc. It's why I imported the UK version since it was never released in USA.

The framerate.
Lol. Just be very careful and progress slowly at all times.

with that framerate you'll progress slowly whether you want to or not
After buying DS1 almost 2 years ago..I've almost finished it, nowhere near full clear, but I think I got all of the bigger bosses. Refused to buy DS2 until I'd finished the first..Now at the final boss and given up for the night as my attempts began to get worse and worse..This ends tomorrow..
I wouldn't be so sure really...Well, at least he wont be invaded by hackers, and can lie in the sofa while playing
Yeah I am just kidding. Would guess its worse on the PC though.
Anyways, I found the Wolf Ring earlier, and realized I still dont know what Poise does, care to help me?
More Poise = you stagger less from enemy hits
Nice! Guess I need to experiment a bit with this. Have a feeling I wont be using it much though.
You'll probably want it for Four Kings.
If your going tank that's a waste of a slot I think.
Nice to know
Edit: Well we will see. If its another try 20+ times-battle, then I will probably be able to experiment a bit both with and without it. I like how the inner part of the dungeon was lied out btw, was fun coming up and finding that item I had looked for since the start of the level.
The Wolf Ring? That thing is amazing while tanking 4K.
If your full havel with 121 poise is 40 extra really that helpful?
I guess in NG it doesn't really matter but in NG+ it helps a ton.
That's what I did in NG. In NG+ it just takes too long to do any damage while rolling and avoiding the attacks. Ain't got no time for that.
I roll and avoid attacks on NG+7, seriously, get good. There is plenty of time to get hits in if you position yourself properly after the roll.

How do I beat Queelaag? The second I enter the arena she spams her lava attack, and kills me almost instantly. I can't dodge it either. 4x, and everytime she attacks her first attack is a lava, and that's unavoidable and does 75% of my HP in dmg, then she spams it again before I can roll or move.
I'm mad. I must be doing something wrong, because, I can't dodge that lava attack. I can't even with the NPC, she always hits me with it before I can do anything.

AINT GOT NO TIME
She does telegraph her attacks a lot you can just hug her head on the left side.

Fuck yeah! I killed her! Fuck you mildred you were useless. Why did I summon her?
Because you'd rather complain than try? Just an observation. Not attacking you just what I've noticed.

I wasn't complaining. I didn't give up, and I beat her in sub 6 tries. She was the first boss to give me any sort of trouble yet, and that was only due to her lava attacks. I thought mildred could be a useful cannon fodder, she wasn't useful she just sat there in lava.
Mildred is notable for being not that helpful.
Let ppl vent in this thread, even if they are irrational and whiney. Let them go, gotta get the rage out somewhere. Offer tips and all that, but unless someone is completely off the wall raging and not even responsive to actually learning the game or responding to tips, let them vent.

I thought so. I thought anyone that could possibly get killed to me has to be useless. Oh well, at least I fought a tougher boss because of her. I just baited her lava attacks. I couldn't risk attacking from the side, she was on to me. I was told that attacking from her side was good, but, I guess they meant to do when she used her lava breath.
Did you not see me trying to explain the depths bonfire?
Well Mildred is arguably the worst phantom other than Beatrice on the 4 kings.

Well, fuck, now im stuck on ceaseless discharge. I can't dodge his attacks, and he OHKOs me. So I wasn't supposed to attack him head on? Whoops.
Wait you thought I was being serious? I was joking around after the first post.

So new character, a fast, light spell caster. Having a blast helping people in with the first few areas/bosses. There's still a ton of activity for summoning there. 10+ Sunlight medals just last night and this afternoon.
Fun times co-oping with people through good chunks of the areas.

Hmmm, so now I'm lost in Blight Town. isn't there a second exit?
That doesn't come across as that at all.
Left and right from the bonfire at the bottom.

Yup, I am now officially 100% lost. I went up the giant elevator found the tunnel, and it's a dead end, and went everywhere I could and everywhere ends in a dead end.
I really was...

The area guarded by three boulder barbarians is where you need to go.

Hmmm, I killed the Butterfly in 1 stamina bar. Sens Fort is kicking my ass this time around.
I think there might be some stairs you are missing or something. The way out is with the elevator.
Good job on Quelaag btw, she was pretty difficult for me as well.
Edit: I see you found your way out

Blight Town wasn't too bad.
Black Knights are push overs even the regular enemies in Sens Fort are harder, but, that great sword wielding one? Fuck him, he hits like a truck.

Yeah, I felt they made the Black Knights a bit too easy. You can exploit their slow turn so it becomes backstab-city.
It's a shame because they're so badass and certainly look like they can kick your ass.

If they were Dark Souls II enemies, they'd turn on a dime never showing their backs, and do infinite no recovery combos.

Boy do I feel bad, I never backstabbed...and I feel worse because I got the BKGS. I learned how to parry! I can parry regular hollows with ease, I can 50% parry baldr knights, and I 25% those Snake Guys.
The Greatsword one is a joke with a Zweihander, lure him into the spiral stairs and bait his attacks, then R2 him after each. I suck at parrying (Which is why Gwynn took so goddamn long!) Firebombed the sword one to death, used staircase on the Gsword, and backstabbed Halberd off the cliff. Got lucky and the Halberd dropped so used that for the rest of my playthrough.
If your two handing your weapon why not have the grass crest shield on your back?
Because it's not worth the 3 units of weight when you can just munch on a Green Blossom anyway.
gotta get dat min/max
Played abit, and I think I have completed the Garden area more or less. Killed the Wolf-boss (which was a joke), and the Hydra (sniped from the bridge), and thinking about going Valley of Drakes now.
Anyways, what is the point in the Covenants? And can I join more than one? Love the Pharis-bow btw, that made my heavy dext-leveling finally worth it!

You can join a different one after abandoning your current one but this carries a betrayal penalty. so choose wisely.
