Got the dark sword +6 and infused. Str/dex are 26 and faith 9. im only level 61. Got to anor londo last night. I did find fattys hammer last night. Got an experiment im working on too. I loved the large club so I have one +3 so far. The knock down on it rocks but it is so damn slow.

i r winnar
This game is freaking huge. I'd recommend looking up the secret areas on a wiki because there is no way you'll find one of them on your own. I failed almost every NPC questline, which are also something you'll never be able to complete without a guide |

If they get hit with the first poke, they literally can't do anything but take the next bunch of hits (I think it's 4). They cannot parry, roll, or anything. The tracking needs nerf'd. |

You are an evil bastard.
I have alomst 30/30 str and dex with a dark sword +7. now I need a great shield and estoc. |

God damn the twins fight is a cocksucker solo. I fucked up the npc summon for it and cant beat it. No psn so cant summon help.

Easily the best Dark Souls so far. The Firelink shrine reminds me of the hub from Demon Souls. The entire game is like looking at a painting in motion.

Well, I've completed my first play through. Ended up with a lvl 130 Tank that could whack anything once or twice and kill it (except bosses). All optional bosses slain, evenClick To View Spoiler
The Nameless King!
Now for NG+....... |

Picked it up for ps4. Started as a herald, unlocked the shortcut and that second boss is my next objective...something of the boreal forest or somesuch. The crawling guy woth the mace.

Fuck me running. After dying to twins 20+ times I just found orbekcs sign there and beat them first try in about a minute.

Solaires armor and odds and ends for rest with black knight shield +5 and dark sword +10 refined. |

The last boss in that dragon area is probably the hardest boss in the game

Picked up Dark Souls 2 real cheep. Like it so far. Will probably grab 3 when it comes down a little.

I made it 2 hours last night without getting mad playing while listening to Crowder. That video was funny as hell. I smoked the twins after finding orbekcs sign but no npc summons for this fight I think. |

Need a little help. Finished the game today with the third ending by killing the shrine maid and stealing the fire. Was I not supposed to get a trophy?
I broke down and got psn for three months too. Summoned a guy for nameless and killed easy. Did some darkmooning and sunbroing too. |

That sucks ass. Least I got the mimic head off the first mimic on ng+. Only took 4 lloyds talismans out of the 600 i bought before ending ng. Can farm covenant items offline now since I only got a few summons so far.

Farming cov items is HORRIBLE.
I tried farming the guys near the farron keep ruins bonfire for the farron one. Used the stupid chest hat, the crystal rapier, golden serpent ring, and a rusted coin. Got 0 in 20 runs. I wouldn't even attempt to farm them until you can restat to like 99 luck. It's a complete waste of time with any less. Even though the game's only been out for a week; already getting farron covenant invasions or blue sentinels / darkmoons is impossible. They're supposed to be releasing a fix for darkmoons tomorrow, at least. |
|
Played a bit more. Past the big boss you gotta stab in the nuts and in an area motherfuckers are swinging trees at me..and some big ass crabs. Pausing attempts at progression currentlt to grab souls and titanite to upgrade my weapon a bit more.
Liking the herald quite a bit. The messages and bloodstains from other players can be hilarious |
|
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good greatsword/greathammer? I've been running with the regular "greatsword" that you find in the poison swamp, and i have it upgraded to +7 (390 DPH), but I can't find any unique/boss weapons that I can upgrade as easily. Everything else either requires titanite scales or twinkles and that shit isn't exactly common

I used the soul for the rapier for a spell. Just beat the Sage guy so I think thats the soul for the rapier isnt it? Been sunbroing and have 9 medals so far. I suck at pvp so am stuck farming souls, err um the covenant items. |

Im level 120 and sitting on 913k souls from sunbroing. Should I level more or stop.i just finished the abyss watcher fight about twenty times.

I love these games, but I'm absolutely terrible at them. I've never yet finished one and I own all 4, plus Bloodborne.
Generally I only play on weekends, so I'll get bogged down on one hard part, not have time to get past it and then something else comes out that I want to play. I always tell myself I'll get back to DS, but it never happens. |
|
Also, if any of you are into board games, there's a Dark Souls board game on Kickstarter right now that looks bad ass.
Maybe I'll actually be able to finish a game on that version. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/steamforged/dark-soulstm-the-board-game |

The sony rep was in my store yesterday and told me about a new game on psn in alpha for free download. Its a lot likr dark souls. Played it a bit this morning. Game is called Nioh.

I farmed the grus in the area at fog to the abyss watchers and got all the covenant pieces in a couple hours plus almost 2 million souls with only the gold serpent ring and thre mimic head on NG+. I sunbroed the abyss watchers about 25 times while farming. Only have moundmakers and darkmoon to do now. Spent all those souls and in now level 132. guess ill shoot for level 245-250. I do want to try sorcery since it was supposed to have been fixed for the last two endings.

I'm level 29 now and made it to the undead village at the base of the wall. Pretty sure I cleared all the items and bosses in the beginning areas, with the exception of the Dancer. I can barely touch that guy. After about a dozen miserable failures I just moved on to the next area. I'm not sure I ever even took off as much as 10% of his health. I always get grabbed and die instantly.

They're supposed to be releasing a fix for darkmoons tomorrow, at least. All of them are terrible to farm offline, especially proof of concord kept and vertebrae shackles. Luckily the shackles are backed by a functional online mechanic, unlike the proofs. I don't know why they thought omitting the blue eye orb was a good decision. The auto-summoning idea for blues was brought in for DKS2 and never really worked very well. Allegedly the blue summoning works fairly consistently at lower levels. I'd try at around level 20 with a +3 weapon. Weapon upgrade influences matchmaking and the parameters are/were quite narrow. Watchdogs of Farron should also work in that level range. Quoted:
Im level 120 and sitting on 913k souls from sunbroing. Should I level more or stop.i just finished the abyss watcher fight about twenty times. 120 is the popular level to stop at, same as in DeS and DKS1. Later in the life of DKS1, I often had to use a character in the 80 to 100 range to get reliable multiplayer activity. Dueling is usually very active at higher levels, random invasions, multiplayer covenant summoning, and co-op may be less so. |

Oops I meant level 145-150. im 140 now and still getting coop action. Got 2 darkmoon summons and 1 concord drop in about an hour today. Then started playing weith a guy a met yesterday from argentina.

Just lost 2 million souls farming concords in anor londo. Silver knight knocked me off the stairs and I landed on a ledge. Another knight shot me with an arrow and I died. Cant get on that ledge to recover souls. Bright side is I only need 14 more concords. I read an idea that might work to farm concords faster by dropping passworded signs with 3 people. One darkmoon, one blue sentinels and a red sign invader. Take turns being red invader and other two should get concord every kill.
Anyone interested in trying it? ETA this might work getting shackles for moundmakers too by letting the invader win. |

29 shackles, 1 ring, 1 gesture and 3 endings to go to platinum. Going to take turns with friend from work invading with red soap stone to farm the shackles if he comes on later.
