Warning about Bonfire Ascetic: “Burning at a bonfire will increase the area’s difficulty to the next NG level (So NG will become NG+, NG+ will become NG++).
This will allow the player to obtain items and secrets normally found in the next playthrough.
This effect is permanent, and carries over to subsequent playthroughs.”
Thanks for the info. By the way… He has the most bullshit placement of any NPC in the history of the Souls series. SMH.
Edit: Got it. You sure this is that same set? It looks similar, but it has an INT requirement.
It is the same set. I am aware of the INT requirement but I never played the beta so I have idea what else that swordsman could do. Straid isn’t a swordsman which is why when I found out that he had that set, it didn’t make sense.
does anyone know what the shrine next to the entrance of undead crypt is for? you see one of those girls that sings the demon song there
Suppose to give you humanity back but I’m not sure what the definite conditions are. I think you have to have 0 human effigies or something.
Anyways… I didn’t know the illusionary walls had to be opened with your talk button. Everytime someone put a message saying “illusionary wall” and I would attack the wall and nothing happened. Lying sack of shits!
And yes, getting error messages with summoning signs now since the 1.02 update.
Not to me.
If I can’t use it with one hand, the weapon might as well not exist to me. I don’t know why, it’s just been that way for me ever since I started these games. I don’t ever, ever two hand anything.
I remember spamming strength in DaS1 so I could one hand the Dragon King great axe. 
Totally worth it.
Dual wielding my way through the iron keep is a bitch. The poise and quick attacks of the Alonne knights make them a pain to deal with. I don’t know how I am going to beat the smelter demon. Everything up to this point was going fine without a shield, but this guy hurts you just for being next to him.
Put on the Stone Ring for the Samurai. With it, I stun lock them until they’re dead. The big ones only stagger every two hits, though.
Beat the Demon of Song. Freed that lady in the cage, but now I’m clueless where to go…
uh, if you beat demon of song youre supposed to enter the little cave to the right of where you fought him and go to the undead crypt
Picked up DS2 today, too bad my 360 is overheating now. On the fence on whether to pick up a new 360 or upgrading to “next-gen” next week.
Holy crap (Boss Spoiler) have you guys ever come across this guy yet?
Talk about cheap, you don’t even get a chance to fight the boss before you bite the dust…
That boss was easy for me, I fought him just like Sif in dark souls 1, just keep hitting his back legs
Best boss in the game is Jabba the hutt
Sigh… fighting the spiderboss and as I kill it, she was spitting that brown shit out and I died from it too.
Alas, nothing happened. Have to fight her again.
Farming these enemies for a katana drop is annoying… I got pants, chest, and arrows, but no sword.
sigh
I’m not fighting either of the bosses here with a damn Fire Longsword.
Capra 2.0? Fuck that boss. I finally managed to beat it, but it was such a pain…
Best thing is, just like the capra demon he is totally optional, but i’m determined to kill it.
I think my game bugged on my second character. I freed rosabeth, ran back to town to buy some clothes for her, ran back and killed the ambush and now she isn’t in majula. I’m positive she didn’t get hit at all during the ambush, so I don’t know wtf went wrong. Is there a special trigger that causes her to leave?
Edit: Never mind, she just randomly came back after porting away and back a few times.
Finally got a katana drop last night… Blacksteel. Funny thing is, I almost knocked the Samurai that dropped it off a ledge. He was literally a centimeter from falling with a pixel of health left when I stopped and thought, “I bet if I knock him off, he’ll be the one to drop it. Let me back off a bit.” I was right :bgrin:. Now, where can I go to farm large titanite shards?
@Tetsuro, how exactly do I get to the ember on the broken steps?
Odd… my 2nd playthrough and I just beat the Lost Sinner… lit the bonfire and JUST got the trophy for it. Pretty sure I lit it on my first playthrough? Lol.
Also, I didn’t know there were THREE Ring of Life Protections… Found all 3, not sure if there is another one, but man 3 chances to not die before gotta quickly farm souls to repair the ring at 3k a ring only. There’s also Ring of Soul Protection too but I don’t use it.
Wtf is a hollow? Inb4 they nerf repair cost.
