People are way overthinking NG+, it's nothing particularly more difficult, if you've done fine up to now you'll be fine in NG+ as well.

Oh I didn't really mean for the difficulty, I'm really over leveled so it should be a bit of a cakewalk, I just meant essential items I should grab that I might regret later if I don't

Finding parts of NG+ challenging, like the long walk to excutioners chariot. and I swear that boss now has better AI, it wont stop spinning and facing me - last time I stood on its side but now idk wtf im supposed to do

Oh I didn't really mean for the difficulty, I'm really over leveled so it should be a bit of a cakewalk, I just meant essential items I should grab that I might regret later if I don't

i spent alot of time grabbing everything just in case, even tho most of it I wont use I just dont like the idea of it being wasted

there are some items in the game that you cannot get more of via bonfire ascetics. ie one of the main reasons I'm going NG+ is to power stance 2 manslayers and you can only get 1 per playthrough.

so other than unique weapons/armour that you want 2 sets of, the only thing is stuff like twinkling titanite and petrifed dragonbones. I farmed shrine of amana before I went NG+ because I will need alot of twinkling, altho its not like I cant get it later with bonfire ascetics.

About to go to NG+ on my character finally, any suggestions on things to do before I advance? Mostly items and such I should acquire.

Go buy 99 repair powders at Drangpoop.

Also NPC sin carries over. So you can murder everyone and enjoy plenty of blue bros invading you.

If you've leveled out to say 250 you'll probably find you get 0 souls when you murder the blue bros though as the invasion parameters in NG+ for the Blue Bros seem spastic.

Do you have a great bow? Just kill the first necro douche and then shoot the bastard as it rides past until it's at about 1/3rd health then you can go kick it off the ledge and kill it.

Cheap and easy!


Just remember you only need to get to the first necro douche and shoust the bastard from there.

Not sure off the top of my head, I can check and let you know tomorrow, but I know it's over 16M, or whatever the last bracket is

I understood why a lot of message said "illusory wall ahead" with a lot of ratings the last time I played PvE a couple weeks ago.

I was sauntering around and some of the wall textures don't seamlessly mesh into the ones next to them and they're about the size of a door.

I was also annoyed by how shitty looking the rooms containing the bonfires after an Old One were.

Also, I invaded in Earthen Peak the other day and the guy ended up being in Harvest Valley with a fog gate between the two. I had to jump off of the windmill basically to get to him.
And how!

Yeah, I can't quite understand why you're not being invaded. At every bloody left corner I'm getting invaded on my main (35million soul memory, so in the final bracket, roughly level 350) and that's without having any sin (I'm a blue!). Odd.

I lied, I'm 45 million soul memory and level 340 :P

One thing I don't understand about invaders is that they think that the phantoms will follow them to wherever they run off to.

I was doing some sun-broing and we were invaded multiple times, I can fully understand trying to coax enemies in between the target (boss room) and the host but when they run backwards, I don't quite see the logic.

Had someone spawn in just before were going through the fog at Medusa's sister, he saw myself & the host and ran away. Naturally, I put myself between the host and the enemy, the host rightfully held back and I gestured for him to continue to the boss. Never saw the invader again, but why did he think that we were going to kill him when we'd already achieved what we came to do?

I've literally never invaded anyone, but I would think, being the aggressor in the situation, you should charge. The defender will want to survive & will therefore have no care in what you do if you run off, they won't follow you, they'll continue on their merry way while looking over their shoulder. They won't even have to do that if they have a half decent phantom with them, who will make sure that they're holding the rear.

If you're on the PC & playing right now, I'm happy to come and help you out. Although it's been half an hour, I doubt you're still there :)
