Managed to beat Nashandra in 10 hrs. 5th time watching the credits now, at least the song is good.

You are on NG+5?

[Tennenoth]

I found 60% to be the ideal number.. At 70> it gets a bit too clunky to my liking.

Cant find the fucking bonfire after Death Mans Wharf, lost 17k souls again, yay. Boss was once more a piec pe of cake. Idk, after the Pursuer they all seem easy.. Got him on the second try with 50% hollow HP penalty.

The rage is strong though, bleeding is a proper bitch.. I found out the aggrivating way.

After you beat the Flexile Sentry, go upstairs and behind you will be a chest, get whatever is in that chest, then check the weird table. It'll say "examine". Continue on my wayward son.

No I've done a complete run 4 times and beaten the boss on ng+ using bonfire ascetics, so this will be the 5th time using my new char.

I did that, but I dont know where to go on from that point (the lost bastille). But ill find it eventually!

Ooh, youve done it twice on one char and once on three other chars? Thats sick man!

Also, GUTS, anyone?

Ah, I see, the bonfire should be on the last left hand side cell, you'll have to fight on and then go down a ladder, the rest of it should be nice and laid out for you!

The life ring is really stupid. It essentially replaces the penalty for dying by a 3k souls tax. Getting 3k souls without dying gets extremely easy not even 10% into the game

You can say that about a lot of things. The reason why they made miracles and pyro so accessible and overpowered in PVE is to let everyone including the biggest casuals finish the game, life ring is part of that. Also the regress from DS1 back to retarded Demon Souls mechanics of warping from the get go is caused probably not just by lazy level design but also because people complained about not being able to teleport everywhere Skyrim-style.

I've finished just about everything in my first run through, although I missed a handful of things.

Accidentally killed the harpie blacksmith and overlooked the other guy

I was thinking of just jumping into NG+. I started another character but I can't see myself playing anything else then what I have already, and what I also used in Dark Souls.

I'm basically Vig, End, Vit and ADP. Magic/Miracles/Hexes/Pyro are boring but stat scaling is also crap so...

I was also going to try the champion covenant and going fisticuffs eventually but I don't like the idea of having to play perfectly on bosses/mobs, slowly chipping away at their health.


The only things that's really kept me playing has been the invasions, which are more dynamic than the stuff you find in the arena.

Earlier today I carried a torch around for a guy as a red phantom for a bit. For whatever reason we ended up naked except for helmets and ended up slowly beating each other up with fists before he finally did the "begging for forgiveness" gesture when I got him down to a sliver of health. I waved goodbye and black crystalled out.

I also had two sunbros and a host chasing me in circles around the Dragon Shrine for about 15 minutes when I got duel summon ganked.

I like arena PvP, you know when you don't encounter a lagger or a chugger or tryhards that use the most OP shit. I think invasions are great as well for some random "open world" pvp, although often very unfair - for the invader that is, because most of the people I've invaded had 2 sunbros along them.

I am staying NG for PvP though (for now). In NG+ people have so many souls that you can basically be a master of all and all that matters is your gear and not your stats anymore (since you have everything high), I'd rather PvP versus different builds.

Farming Onionbro armor atm. Got all pieces except his body armor (soldier's rest is now on ng+7) 2 times he didn't drop anything and one time he didn't spawn

At least I can get 3 cracked red eyes up there, which I remembered were there after I ng+'it

Fucking lizards, hardest enemy to kill (unless you are ranged).

[Kafein]

That is so very fucking accurate
