Upgrades vary in cost. Unfortunately, large weapons cost more. Infusions are also fairly expensive early on.

That sounds dumb. Implies they're objectively stronger when they never seem to be

Also I have not actually found the "Longsword" in this game yet. I didn't know you could buy it from the Smith in 2 so I played 90% of that game with a fucking Halberd. But Longsword was the only weapon I liked in 1 besides Zweihander which imo was OP in a lot of PvE

Using Broadsword which is I like. Greatswords always look awesome on paper but tbh a lot of them kind of sick in effect
---

straight/greatswords are what men use

I started a new game a day or two ago, and now I'm about half way through.

and as much as I enjoy it, the covenant stuff can be bs. not gonna say where I am, just so I don't inadvertantly spoil the TC, but I got invaded by two or three people at the same time.

I say possibly three because after I took one out, another invader came in.

Thats p much the whole point of that area. Gank city. Just a giant clusterfuck of constant pvp activity.

Why can't I be lefty :( I know I saw an enemy that was
---

wtf @ Abyss Watchers, the second half of the fight is "It's Treason Then": The Boss
---

Abyss Watchers is one of my favorite fights in the series
---

yeah they're a cool fight
---

I cant beat him

This is the biggest stonewall I've had in a Dark Souls game since Bell Gargoyles
---

for at least the first half of the fight, the red eyed one helps you, so it's not so bad
---

I know but but the non-red eye guy comes up first so you're being double teamed for a bit

But that part of the fight isn't my issue, it's when he goes Episode III that I get fucked

How long does it take for a character that sells Titanite
---

the shrine maiden sells them, but you need to give her the dreamchasers ashes

they're found in the same building where you find the giant farron wolf

giant farron wolf

I'm assuming that's only after abyss?
---

before.

it's dead/a statue, and you can kneel to it to join the covenant
---

I'm done for tonight, DaS is the only game that gets me controller-break-y

If I can't beat him tomorrow I'm Drawing Out My Inner Strength
---

Also Farron Keep has like 3 textures and repeats buildings so it's really hard to find stuff and know where you've been
---

Yeah, I didn't have my route nailed down until my third playthrough. It can be rough the first time through.
---

So is Horace somewhere I can find or
---

he's actually pretty hard to find.

there's an entirely new area that he's in that's lower than where you are. it's optional, though, so a lot of people miss it without doing research
---

Right I'm trying to fight Wolnir right now (died first time but I probably got it next time I try)

So like there's a hidden place to go after meeting her before the bridge?
---

you attack the bridge and it breaks (don't worry, though, since it's fixed when you reload).

when the animation ends, you can descend it like you would a ladder.

once you're down, hug the right, and you'll see an opening.

that's where Horace is.
---

Oh huh

I broke the bridge because I saw the spook Skelly army but didn't think of descending it, I looked into the chasm and thought the fall would kill me and I moved on
---

I tried to invade again and I spawned right between the guy and his golden fuckbuddy and the golden fuckbuddy was lagging so hard I saw him hitting the wall in my game and i took damage
