I have arrived at the huntsman corpse!  8-) gargoyles turned out to be fairly easy, just had to be more patient, their attacks drain nearly no stamina which makes it so much more convenient to patiently tank them.

Tbh, this game is turning out to be one of my favourite games ever, along with COD2 & c-RPG. I love it!
I loot corpses of their golden teeth.

I am running through the game for a second time now with a new char and I am progressing incredibly fast... you know where all the tricks and traps are, what the optimal progress route is, where to get items, how to do bosses.. and I'm a Faith char as well, those lightning spears are so strong.

Open the gates at the top of the stairs, just before The Lost Sinner fight. There are two gates, behind those gates are two trails of tar, light them & you'll have an easier time seeing what's going on, and so will your character! :)

Ah, well that sucks :(

I've started to try and learn to PvP properly. I'm doing reasonably well fighting in the Blue Sentinel's sparring, particularly against melee players. I'm wearing light armour (Lucatiel's) and I'm not using a larger shield simply to try and keep myself aware. I've come up against quite a few Havel mages, most of whom are reasonably easy to fight but affinity (?) I cannot avoid, and of course, I've come up against the same fellow from Bangladesh who I've not landed a single hit on because I've no idea where he is. :P He's backstabbed three out of four times so far! ^^

Otherwise, I'm getting used to the ghost reach & the delay but it's certainly affinity that kills me off. Other magics are reasonable to avoid it seems. So, any tips would be greatly appreciated, with anything PvP! :)

:D Just won my first match with a parry. That felt good. That's a feeling I haven't felt since I murdered Sawa with a club all those years ago!

When I see affinity now I kind of just stay away until it dissipates. With how long it takes sometimes to find matches I'd rather not get homing magicked, and then even if it's dodged you know they've got a single shot spell coming up behind it once it triggers. Same with buffs and people with parrying weapons, I'll get a feel of what they're game-plan and style is before I just rush in and waste the matchmaking time.

Although I have a decent winrate with just a bastard sword, having recently switched over to the mastodon greatsword (the same move-set), I really couldn't say why I enjoy the PVP this much with the mostly shoddy netcode.

Lastnight an arbiter invaded and I was waiting around the corner for him near the bonfire. Next thing I know I'm shitting my pants because the backstab noise is blasting in my ears as he teleports from nowhere. Then I'm running about 30 ft and again I'm being backstabbed, except then we teleport back to the spot I originally was.

I even had an instance where I swung out of range on my screen and it still hit the guy and killed him even though he was a couple sword lengths away.
And how!
