Giant seeds regenerate at the tree giant in firelink every time you get invaded, they're not so precious

I never would have found this out on my own.

Worlds are going to burn.

I'm failing miserably at forming a mental map of the swamp area after the keep. Stupid swamps.

I don't like the level design in that area. I have trouble determining where exactly I am because everything looks the same.

How do you say "Hey!" ?

Buy the 20k souls key to get to the top of firelink, jump onto the roof, leave a homeward bone in the crow's nest.

How do you get a + on the Estes flask? I know how you get more of them, but not how to make them more powerful.

Use undead bone shards on the firelink bonfire.

Take way of the blue covenant, dried finger and activate a Seed of Giants which your almost always going to get back from the swarm of invaders coming in, summon phantoms to taste.

I've been doing this for the past couple of days. It's easily the most fun thing I've done in any of the Soul's games.

Because I'm not getting any hits so I can't tell whether I'm too high or too low.

I'm exactly level 52 and I can't go 10 seconds without being summoned. Is your covenant sign in the top left corner flashing white?

I completely forgot your dropped your souls as a red phantom if you died. I just made a very unpleasant run through The Archives to save 1.4m souls.

Just started this last night. I've heard lots of people saying this is the easiest in the series, but High Wall feels significantly harder than any other Souls starting area.

It is definitely not the easiest. It feels like the boss fights are significantly more difficult than the previous games. Some of the fights, anyway.

Anyone who hates sens funhouse probably didnt invade there 24h and kicked stone armor wearing clowns down to the obsidian demons.

These are the people that hate it.

Anyone got any suggestions? I also want to get the Victim in the dungeons to fight the gargoyle on the bridge to the Capital

I'm a fan of making the mimic in the Catacombs fight the flame demon. It's usually a pretty good fight.

The lighting wigs out every now and then and that happens, it's pretty funny.

The first time I saw it it was coming from a guy named Jesus. Because of the name I wasn't sure if it was deliberate or not.

So first run through and I'm at the Crucifixion Woods now, does it matter which I go to next or is there a general consensus for my next step?

Depends on whether or not you care about NPC plotlines.

If yes, go to the Cathedral.

If you don't, you can complete the swamp area and the boss.

is there anything that serves as a soul "bank" like dung pies did in dark souls 1? In other words their cost when buying == income when selling?

I haven't seen anything like that. Even if an item has a 1:1 buy/sell there's a hard cap on how many items you can have in this game, and that number is pretty low.

Question about a Lord fight:

Just one-shotted Yhorm because Siegward rolled in and is a freight train of oniony terror. All I did was just stand between giant feet and plink away for 100 dmg while Onionbro tanked and repeatedly shot him with a big fuckoff onion laser that hit for 4k and knocked him down. I did essentially nothing and poo poo myself the whole fight after seeing I did jack all to his hp. Is that dude as awful as it seems if you don't have Siegward helping? I don't think I could possibly stay alive the 30 minutes it'd take me to chip away the fucker's hp pool

You can get the sword Siegward is using in that very room. It's right next to the throne Yhorme was sitting on.

I actually agree it would be good if you got something for killing an invader. A little more encouragement for the host to fight back instead of just trying to flee.

You get estus back.

Harrow posted:

That kind of just feels like a consolation. You get like 2 charges back, right? There's a good chance that's what you used to fight them off in the first place, if not more.

It's not completely risk free for red phantoms. When you kill them they have to run all the way back to where they died in your world in order to recover their souls. I had to make one very unpleasant run through the grand archives to save 1.4m souls.

I think something's wrong... I'm at SL41 and I'm embered and Dried Fingered in Anor Londo and I haven't had a single Aldrich Pal invade... :(

The Aldrich won't invade you at the Anor Londo fire. Either spawn at the water reserve or the Pontiff's room.

I kept getting invaded by a hacker in the Aldrich covenant area. This guy could move at double speed and chuck fireballs like Goku, he was completely ignoring the casting delay.

I managed to shadowplay it, so I hope Steam will do something about him.
