A certain move of the third boss is confirmed bullshit, enough so that I had to summon. If they fix that little thing I can see myself soloing it on twinky alts.

Yeah I figured this out when I went back and the elevator went up on its own haha. But thanks (spoiler)! :D

IGN is reporting that Microsoft told them they were working on "fixing" the loophole that allows people to play the English language version early. I'm not sure how they're going to do that without just disabling JPN license holders' ability to download the EN version, but just in case BoneBros might want to take their console offline for a while.

What a crazy business it is, when "We want to patch out language support" is even a thing regardless of whatever legal fine print is involved.

"PC lists 12 supported languages, aren't we so great-Holy fuckballs, somebody is using one of those languages (on console) and that's no good!"

I mean, yeah regional stuff. But it just sounds so stupid when you hear it out loud.

All of this is down to Bandai-Namco trying to pad their next quarter. This whole situation has revealed that there was literally no other reason for them to hold the Western release of the game over until 04/12, and now they look even more retarded because there's going to be an unending stream of video out there of people playing the EN version weeks ahead of everyone else.

Feels indeed like From got the contractual rights for dropping a Japanese version in Japan with no other languages, there's not even language options in it.

Curiosity got the better of me, bought the tower key (the 20k item the handmaid carries) and had a poke around.

Bunch of stuff you probably want up there. Estus shard, fire keeper soul, estus ring and some other bits and pieces.

Are you discarding items rather than dropping them? Second option in the menu (iirc), there should be dialogue even if it's rejected.

The dark axe you get by killing the first mimic in the locked tower with the dragon on it seems like a pretty good starter weapon. Granted, the mimic hits like a truck, but if you can whittle him down you get a weapon with 206 total damage and reasonable speed. It allowed me to kill the second boss pretty quickly, even without upgrading it.

They still have 2000 and 1000s in stock. Tiny bit more expensive, but there you go.

There's an exit on the upper floor of the right side of the throne shrine with a locked door, I'd assume it's there.

I don't even see a listing for 2000, and 1000 has the same warning that 3000 did before they sold out :(

when the game was first announced they made a pretty big deal out of the "making your own bonfire" mechanic. Does that appear anywhere else so far or was it just the one iudex gunther gimmick?

How do you get into the locked tower? Also, has anyone been able to get the item on the ledge above the fat halberd dude in the same area?

The second question, from what I saw your jump tries you could try to jump from the wood platform a bit below where you jump

__You're jumping from here_

opens the locked door in the settlement sewers where the rats are. the guy who gives you the cracked red eye orbs will give you the key to that second door, though i think you need to use one of them to invade and maybe succeed at killing a host? first.
