Good lord does the difficulty of that fight ramp up with 3 players, lol. We still beat it, but it wasn't as smooth sailing as it was for me during my own game fight.

I've been shilling for the one that grants you and allies the bubble shield that tanks a hit like that one Crystal Tear.

Level 54 or w.e.

Pretty much dumped everything into vigor(30), endurance(28), strength(29), and a few things in dex(20)

I got the twinblade recently and while I really like swinging a greatsword and shield around (and my nice knight armor) I'm wondering if it's feasible to start leveling Dex more now instead of strength or w.e.

Lol man, I would be pissed if I was the host of this room. I was helping this guy fight that astel stars of darkness jackass again (feels like all of my summon sign summons in the consecrated snowfield region is for this idiot). We did fairly well and took the boss down to like 1 hit left, but then the boss busted out this grab attack I never seen before where it was a bunch of clones that rushed in for a grab. Of course I get caught by it because I was too busy wondering wtf is going on......said grab takes me from damn near full HP to dead. (Host also died by the same grab):

From what I hear they just nerfed some of his disjointed hitboxes (fair), lowered the tracking on his arrows (combined with the damage pre nerf they would one shot you) and lowered his overall damage. You also have the choice of summoning 7 npc and all of them can kill radahn without you interfering.

I completed Nokron, wish there was a bit more to the city. Nokstella and Ainsel are meh so me so far. I still need to find that red lake at the bottom.

I think you absolutely have to drop down to the second path. If you go around the corner normally, it catches up to you on the bridge and just murders you.

You can also kill the chariot, though I think that took me longer than just doing the area normally would have.

I thought you just needed to rest at a grace outside of Limgrave? I got there super early when I stumbled on a teleporter.

I ended up switching from the Brick Hammer +25 to the Prelates Inferno Crozier +25. This is the big huge red hammer.

Man what a difference. I was having some struggles on some stuff and went back with the crozier and it's night and day. While I could stagger stuff with the brick hammer, using the Crozier was stunning bosses and knocking big enemies out of attack animations. It was great. My ONLY complaint was that it's too big to see around on the screen and I have to play at a "higher" camera angle then I like. But that's nitpicking.

After beating the game I started my NG+, saved my character, and immediately rolled up an Astrologian. Using magic is kind of cool. Group of 3 birds you want to kill for some feathers? Use that wide spell you start with. As a melee guy I had to go in and try to get them all but they would fly away after I got to them. I beat the cave that leads to the Dragon Commune place and it just feels totally different. I'm enjoying it.

Me every time in every FS game

First blind attempt at a boss: Do phenomenally well and get to about 20% health bar left before succumbing to some sort of surprise.

Second through tenth attempt: Fail miserably and die immediately to even the most mundane attacks.

Why?!?!?

Bleed is a pretty good status ailment to go for if you run a DEX/INT build with dual katanas hey? But I don't put any points in Arcane. Takes me around 5ish hits to cause Bleed I'd say? Is it worth respeccing for this? I just run a Moonveil and a Uchigatana.

Does it boost up status effects in general? I like the sleep status effect on that St Trinas sword but I feel like it takes a little bit too long to be worth it. Wasn't able to cheese the Godskin on the bridge with it as is. If I get both maybe it would be worth it but if it's just Bleed I don't think it is yet. I'd probably need to sacrifice my normal damage output and I'm a pretty good all rounder at the moment. Level 60-70 range.

I remember rot breath being the first dragon move I got, and I used it to cheese those two tree sentinel knights that is guarding the main road of leyndall. I did not intentionally do this.....when I first walked up in that area where they are at I noticed a small spot over to the right of them where those tree knights and their big-ass horses cannot reach you. I just walked over there to that spot, used rot breath, and the knights just died after like 2 minute, lol.

That makes way more sense to me. I discovered Roundtable Hold pretty early and so did a streamer I've been watching. Pretty sure both of us did so before we explored anything other than Limgrave.

Maybe it's finding a number of churches or the first Grace outside of Limgrave?

I specifically got it after I found the teleporter that lead me to the guy who likes eating Deathroots. But thinking about it that teleporter is immediately outside a Church so it could be either one.

Hm, scanning through the VOD now, she doesn't seem to go in her first stream and she ends up in the crystal tunnel at the end of it. So maybe I'm wrong.

He's a shadow given to her by the Two Fingers. Similar to Maliketh/Marika. He has a curse put on him to go berserk and kill her if she strayed from the Golden Order path.

What doesn't make sense to me is The Greater Will gave you, the Tarnished, grace to become alive again to do his bidding. Shouldn't he be able to take away your grace as soon you aren't willing to do his biddings? Greater Will took away your grace before the game started. That's why you're considered a Tarnished.

Yeah I didn't bother with that either.

If I reach a tough optional boss I look and see if the rewards are worth it. Often they aren't.

Like the Godskin fella on the Liurnia bridge. You can sorta take your time and cheese him with the horse but he's the kinda boss who will kill you super quick if you make a mistake. For my level that was the case anyway. Looked it up and he's only worth like 4k Runes and some ugly armor. So I just skipped him.

Yeah these late game mobs and their damage numbers alongside their placement meant to annoy the player as much as humanly possible really feels like a ton of dark soul 2's design philosophy was in play in these areas.

I mustered up the will to deal with Fringefolk Hero's Grave, and finally defeated the boss there. Since I was used to dealing with those damn chariots, I went straight to Auriza Hero's Grave. Had a little trouble making it through there but I made it to the Crucible Knight pair. Beat them on my 5th try. I solo'd the regular knight while my spirit ash got Ordovis down to 60% before dying. I carefully whittled away his health while trying to stay out of trouble. I had him down to a sliver of HP when he finally got a hold of me and nearly killed me. I was trying to roll away to heal but in a panic I accidentally hit the trigger and it landed for the final blow! Feels good.

Lol, congrats. Yeah that fight was pretty nuts. I believe I relied on bloody slash pre-nerf to deal with that fight while my boy oleg (the main spirit ash I used before the mimic tear, black knife tiche and the greatshield crew came along) lasted long enough to keep one of the pair occupied long enough for the other to die. Seriously though those 1 HP victories feel so good.

You miss out on a ton of gear(including the legendary armament achievement is Bernahl is still alive) and some questlines if you choose to ignore the Volcano Manor assassinations and go through the level itself. I made that mistake on my first playthrough since it was blind :/

You can do everything in that area besides killing rykard.

If you want you can go ahead and get most of the equipment and whatever else in the region.
