bone fist + caestus is super fun
powerstancing was cool in this game

Dude I rolled up all the way to the smelter demon with caestus. Shit was awesome.

Ended up using the Pursuer Greatsword, but kept the caestus around for when I got invaded or got Blue Sentinel summoned. Average player I noticed doesn't know how to deal with them.

powerstanced caestus is mildly great. surprising damage. also, buggy stuff that huge scrubs abuse, but let's ignore that for now.

my main right now is an sl150 powerstanced uchi build. i'm so bummed they didn't keep powerstancing for 3. it fucking wrecks.

I think I just got invaded by a player while I was undead. Like it was a guy called "Dark Spirit OwO whats this" and he was super aggressive and rekt me. I thought you had to be human for that.

Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig.

nope.

The small white soapstone has a smaller summon range (i think) and summons only last 20 minutes or until they get a certain amount of souls.

The White Soapstone has a wider range (even moreso if you have the Sunbros covenant) and summons will stay in your world for 40 minutes (usually enough time to get to the boss and kill it)

in ds2 you do not have to be human to get invaded.

Question about hexes... Im a bit confused about intel vs faith. Like if I get some hexes for my high faith cleric and use them with my chime will they be any good? Or do I need both stats high?

If I do the Champions Covenant to get enemies to respawn, can I leave the Covenant and rejoin at will? Like turn it on, Farm some Giants and turn it off?

hexes scale with the lower of the two stats so they need to both be pumped

I'm also playing through Dark Souls 2 for the first time. I just thought I'd tell you about an Estus Shard very early on that's pretty easy to miss.

Back in Majula and in front of the largest house there's a small well. If you knock the rock into the well, a corpse with an Estus Shard attached will appear.

yeah. be warned, that any progress to the next rank in your current covenant will be lost if you switch, though you will keep your current rank.

still plenty of scrubs to wreck.

Question: what should I use a bolt stone on? I have a mace and fire longsword both at +6... should I do it on mace to make it faith scaling and respec to take away points from strength and put them into faith and intel for a hexer build? Or should I use it on something else?

My stats right now are:
vigor 13
end 9
vit 8
atn 16
str 15
dex 10
adp 9
int 4
fth 31

30 ADP is considered baseline as it gives you a dks1 fast roll, almost.

mace + longsword hexer sounds pretty nasty actually.

rat king is you join and everything in the grave is your friend and you summon in people who go there to fight 'em.
it pulls unsuspecting players in as a hostile gray.

Ah ok. So it pretty much just turns that one area into fight club?

Don't go crazy farming souls in 2. In addition to soul level restrictions, FROM put that shit soul memory crap in the game too.


eh dont really know what that means

soul memory is something fucking stupid

in ds1+3 summoning/invading worked on a level range

in ds2 the range is based on how many total souls you have earned, regardless of actually using them to level up or not


Oh. Maybe that's why I get invaded so much. >_>
I'm lvl 48 in the Heide's tower right now.

On the warp menu, areas with an orange border around them show area where you are likely to find summons or get invaded. I believe it is based on number of active players in your soul memory range in that area.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
