My scimitar is now down to 3 durability after going mad and killing skellies. I now change to a tiny shield every time I'm in a corridor instead of wielding 2 swords and jumping about like a maniac.

There's a ring a bit later that can severely decrease durability loss, so don't worry, eventually you will be a maniac once more.

This thread moves too fast, so I'm going to ask anyways.

I have an off-brand PS3 controller. All of it's inputs are entirely off and only the left analog does the correct thing. Is there a way to fix this? What do I have to do to get this going? I've tried disabling other HID stuff but that didnt seem to work either :(

Maybe try a program like XPadder to emulate an xbox controller? Note this is different from XInput...though you could try XInput too.

Hey, couple of questions:

1. Is it still possible to drop items for others? I'd kill for an Old Whip

2. What is the earliest area that you can summon in? I'm trying to kill the Heide Knight in the FoFG but he kicks my rear end.

You can summon in FOFG. For the Heide Knight try the first bonfire in the valley below him.

So, Harvey, what became of the giant penny?

They actually let him keep it.
Man, I had a sign that was constantly being rated after I put it down. It was nice having a steady stream of healing. Suddenly it vanished, and the game got much quieter. I miss it.

Anyway, I fought The Dragonrider or whatever as the first boss. He was very easy, but it felt great to one shot him blind. Especially after how many times I died to the mace-wielding guardian before him.

You have 2 options, take the path from Majula toward Heide's Tower of Flame and push through there, or take the key that the boss gave you and unlock some doors. The door that leads to the next boss is located in that large outlook with the giant stone sword crashed into the castle.

I believe you're limited to 10 messages, so if you placed an 11th, your 1st will dissappear. If you want to keep those around you can hand-pick which messages to delete from the start menu.

NPC AI can occasionally break, but when it's good, it's really good. Normal jackoff enemies will chase you all over the drat castle before you can shake them off and it's wonderful.

yeah, I've been abusing the heck out of the AI to separate or re-arrange enemies. Some hollows go up/down ladders, others don't.

From the Giant you received a key. The key opens doors in FOFG, but the one you may be most interested in is one you will find by running past the giant's elevator, to a hall of sunlight. :D

Alternately, there is another path out of Majula that you can reach without any special aid.

Ah! I opened every door with the key except the one directly down the ladder from the bonfire and to the right. I shall try this, thanks :)

Press start, one of the menu options handles writing messages, checking past messages read, and checking the messages you've left. leaving and rating messages is very easy in this game now.

My top rated message is advice on killing a group of enemies, my second-most is giving directions, and my third is calling Targray a pointless but hole. The constant healing is pretty nice - it might be a good idea to put a stupidly incongruous joke message in a highly frequented area in hopes it gets voted up massively. No harm :v:

Has anyone figured out how to toggle between "interact" options with KB/M? I fixed my control scheme almost entirely with AutoHotKey, but this last thing I can't do. I can't light a torch because I can't toggle at the bonfire.

For me, that (yellow 'Y') button was the same as I used to 2H a weapon. But there are two actions I have bound to that key, the 2H command and then in a different menu keybind the 'Function 2' key. It's really annoying that the various in-game menus still show hardcoded controller buttons and I hope someone compiles a list of what corresponds to what.

That's awesome, straight up heals? Gotta try that. Gotta white phantom more too to get my humanity back.



Regarding guard break and jumping attacks using keyboard and mouse: I rebound my mouse attacks to switch the left and right buttons. I have not one single time been able to do a guard break or jumping attack using a keyboard and mouse (mechanical keyboard: Ducky Shine 3, Windows 8 default input rates, Logitech G400S mouse). This is trying to do, for example, forward + light mainhand attack in quick succession or simultaneously on mouse and keyboard. However, I _have_ been able to do both a guard break attack and jumping attack, somewhat reliably, using just the keys. Very rapid tap-tap of forward+light attack, for example, to do guard break. So I know it can be done. Anyone figure out how to reliably do it with mouse click attacking, though?

Get a controller.

Just had a weird experience, I got summoned by some dude and there's another white phantom there, the white phantom goes into The Pursuer's fog gate BEFORE the host and starts fighting him, I couldn't go through the fog gate, and the host is just standing there doing nothing. Weirdest thing of all, the separation crystal wouldn't work, it was just greyed out.

Only times I've been able to do guard breaks and jump attacks with the mouse have been completely on accident. Whenever I try to actually do them, it's impossible.

Certain games just DO NOT work with a keyboard and mouse. It's a good purchase and opens up a lot more for your system.
