I’m only on my first playthrough but I definitely didn’t see a channeler anywhere near gaping dragon when I fought it. Gaping dragon was actually really REALLY easy for me, he did not enjoy lightning spears to the face. So far hardest bosses were capra demon and ceaseless charger(I actually haven’t killed him yet but he seems to be unnecessary so far), I can’t seem to dodge the tentacle slam/flame shot, it seems to super track and I can’t possibly avoid or he just plain misses with it for no apparent reason.
There’s only a “trick” to aim spells from a distance, and it’s to use the bow (not crossbow) aiming function. With a bow equipped, press Triangle (or the yellow Skittle) to hold in both hands, then press L1 to aim first-person. After this, if you switch immediately to your Pyromancy Flame/Catalyst/Miracle thingy, it will go where you last aimed.
I’m on my first character and haven’t finished the game. However, the way that upgrades became almost immediately accessible (with minimal grinding) after 1.05, it has made me tear through places extremely easily. I’ve never been “stuck” per se, but there have been places that I’ve struggled (Tomb of Giants, for example), and now I’m at the bonfire before Nito in about 15 minutes. Before I could barely get past the ladder after Pinwheel. (I’m stubborn and didn’t want to avoid the giant skeletons and archers (except for the one above the tomb with dat ember)
and on NG+++ my sorcerer still died in 2 hits with maxed out shizzle so??? after the first time i got to the bonefire before nito i was able to get there in no time flat the 2nd time around in the same playthrough. the game hasnt become any easier. pozer was just talking about he re rolled a sorce, how far could he have gotten the 2nd bell before making his claim that the game itself seems easier? what type of upgrading could he have done by that point. i mean before the patch came out you could just soul grind forest to make the game way easier. when i think of the game “itself” becoming easier especially at early levels i think about enemy debufs decreased ai intelligence, natural character buffs. knowing srk i still think it’s all in your guy’s head.

Being a sorc is awesome. But I want to be low level with broken spells to rape people.
Dumb question… uh… where do I get the sign to invaded people and it’ll never brake? :o
Meow.
Red Soap Sign - It acts like a white soap sign except you’re summoned to duel. Might need to be human, I’m not sure. Found in Painted World Ariamis.
Blue Eye Orb - You invade anyone who has sinned or is in the Book of the Guilty. Obtained by joining Darkmoon covenant. Can be used while undead or human.
Red Eye Orb - Standard invasion item. Only usable while human. Need to offer 10 humanity to Kaathe while in Darkwraith covenant to obtain.
Dragon Eye Orb - Similar to red soap sign. Your sign is only visible to people who have dragon scales. When summoned, a dragon scale is up for grabs, winner gets it. Available through Dragon covenant. I forget if you need to be human to place down a sign.
Cracked Red Eye Orb - Non-infinite use red eye orb. Must be human to use. Purchasable from Kaathe as well as found in-game on corpses/loot.
Eye of Death - Places a sign in three worlds which spawn stronger versions of the world’s enemies such as black phantom Black Knights in Kiln or black phantom Club Ogres in Blighttown. The three infected players that are victims of your “curse” must find your sign and kill you to get rid of it. You must be with the Gravelord covenant, be human to use, and you can only place the eye in an area you haven’t beaten a boss yet. Eyes can be obtained throughout the game or farmed off the frogs in The Depths or the Hollow Tree. Also killing the people who invade you to end the curse will reward you with an eye.
the channeler is always there, it’s just that most of the time people explore and kill him before killing the boss. I forgot to kill him on one of my characters and it made the boss much tougher that I actually died to gaping dragon because he was putting that weird field down (I think he was buffing the dragon) and sniping me. Then I just remembered to run up and kill him and gaping dragon becomes free again.
Ok I done goofed, I went to join the Chaos Covenant for dat shortcut and accidentally said no and the egg dude won’t let me past. I can’t absolve either will this eventually go away or do I have to actually use that damn lava ring this time :(.
kill him, walk past, and then join covenant. You just won’t be able to buy Egg Vermifuges, or his poison magics.
You can kill the dude and still join the covenant, but you won’t be able to buy his pyro spells among other stuff.
Oh really? Awesome I didn’t want to risk it but if that’s all I lose well nuts to him
Quit the game and reload, he’ll ask you the same questions again.
so i started a new character last night and man, there are a TON of people invading after the first demon boss to the gargoyles. they are all super beefy at low levels too. it’s obvious those builds for for ganking lower levels. i backstabbed 1 dude 2 times with the drake sword and he still had over 50% health LOL. then he hit me twice with a lighting shotel and i died.
speaking of which, one of the top dudes in the book of guilty or whatever the other book is…is level 4 and has beat the 4 kings…that’s pretty serious business. he’s also holding on to 200 mil + souls or maybe that’s some other dude on the list, but whatever 200 mil + souls is crazy to be holding on to.

Lightning shotel? They aren’t low level at all then, lol. You can’t make a lightning weapon until you get to anor londo… and there is no Lightning shotel that’s dropped/looted afaik.
There is a new glitch to pass down weapons/armor/items/etc through a high level character to a fresh one. However two other things to consider are 1. the matchmaking in this game is bonkers 2. Some people are THAT good.
I been away from this game for a bit, it completely slipped my mind that you CAN beat the game at level 1. So I guess it is possible, haha.
Where is the pvp being established now? Is the Gwyn’s world or PaintedWorld? We still don’t have the 4-1 of this game?
I’m pretty sure it’s still at the Kiln
For legit (more often than not) duels, Kiln is the place.
Everywhere else is fair game, heal, humanity, bow or not bow, enchant, Ring of Fog, TWoP, etc is all fair.
it’s at kiln and the forest covenant area. my level 202 sorcerer finds TONS of pvping at forest but none at kiln, so i would bounce between those 2 spots depending on your level i guess shrugs
at the forest you run into 2v1 scenarios a lot but i still find them fun. i was in a 2v1 (me by myself) and host chugged a flask like 3 times in a 2v1! and i still killed his dumb ass. to bad he was only worth 50k. doing 2v1s when you are the 1 is extremely difficult as a sorce, you almost have 0 chance if the dudes you are fighting are hella good. melee you still have a chance.

the Kiln SL “rule” is pretty much 125 for PVP, the forest covenant (at least I’m pretty sure) does not obey any standard matchmaking rules so anyone can end up against anyone regardless of level.
