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.

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

Ugh gotta call it a night, after 9 hours straight, this game is like a Soulsborne greatest hits and I'm A-OK with that.

Made it through quite a few bosses, now in what looks like the new catacombs area after the poison swamp boss. also did anyone fight the bony asylum demon thing at the top of the tower in the swamp?

Sunbroing is as fun as ever. Doing it at Abyss Watcher Invasions are INSANE fun too with the numbers being a little more favorable. I never was huge on PVP but I can see myself doing this a lot.

My kid had daycare issues, never been so happy about this. Gonna sunbro the gently caress outta today

Question about a hub NPC (the one that gives you free levels). I took a level from him, went out and did stuff, came back, used some souls to pay the firekeeper to get rid of whatever status effect he put on me. Next time I came back to Firelink, Yoel was dead. Yuria hasn't appeared. WTF? I'm pretty far in (through the Skeletal areas)...

Kinda stumped where to go next. I have killed several bosses, most recently a giant skeleton and am in an area with snow and a large cathedral looking thing, but there is a barrier preventing me from getting into the area proper.

lets hang out posted:

Found the respec option. Cathedral of the deep. Start at the second bonfire, take the door in the back of the chapel and ride the elevator up to the belltower with a single archer in it. Go around outside and climb the ladder up and you'll eventually end up in the rafters of the cathedral. There's a place to drop down on the far side next to a sword knight, continue along in that direction until you meet Rosaria. Pledge to her and you'll get her covenant item and the options to respec stats and redo your character's appearance, both cost 1 pale tongue and it looks like you can only do it 5 times per playthrough.

e: red soapstone is there too

Where does one get the item necessary to give her?

Yes, I literally posted a few posts above you about a boss weapon drop from DS2, there are also more nods here and there. It does skew more DS1 so far.

Man I feel bad for you people, do they not give out government mandated holidays for Good Friday or Easter? They coincided so well with the game's release for me, it's like, wake up, phone friend, and sit playing the game and exchanging the controller every death for the rest of the day.



Not in the US, no.

I'm in withdrawal after playing like 20 hours over the last 2 days. :gonk:

Worst part is Easter Sunday will have to spend half the day doing dinner instead of playing this :(

edit:

Okay gently caress it, I'm ordering these things. how do you buy off play-asia? they want my adress and stuff but I want to buy a digital copy of the gift cards? does it matter?

Yes it is worth it. You put your address in, make sure you confirm your email and if possible your phone number before you order. You get the digital codes right away. At least I did for PSN cards.

There's a shortcut right near that gate, and while the first phase was a piece of cake I kinda died immediately phase 2. My nuker build has me with poor magic resistances and I cannot afford getting hit much so it's time to get online again.

Yeah I was able to beat it after 2 more tries, got a summon to help me which was nice to distract the boss for healing. Gonna put my sign down there and help out other people for a bit, I wanna dump some points into faith
