So I just beat Najaska and now found what looks like a Dwarf Fortress, complete with murderous elephants. Is there a bonfire anywhere near the entrance? I have no estus between the boss fight and the first room and don't want to hike all the way back to the bonfire on the bridge. EDIT: Oh my god I finally find a mimic and of course there are no warning messages.

Man it's really easy to summon people AND be summoned in DSII, the game is much more alive and i'm loving helping all fellow adventurers  If you guys want a pratical way of getting heals i suggest making sex puns messages near all females in the game. Giving genuine help about hidden treasure or ambushes are also good  Is there any way to kill the monster in this link? http://i.imgur.com/UqYjuKy.jpg

RushJet posted:Any one else notice the lack of invasions happening? I have yet to be invaded once by another player. Are they just not as common in your first play through? Yeah, it partly has to do with Soul Memory. Since a steady source of cracked red orbs doesn't quite come until you join the BoB you're going to accumulate enough souls to put you out of range of people starting up. The small bits of orbs you otherwise find don't account for very much. There are also lot of other hoops potential invaders will probably want to jump through before invading to make use of the cracked orbs since getting more can be tedious. Naturally that will just bump SM even higher. Invasions don't seem to kick in until NG+.

Its still pretty unclear what has happened at first if your character is wearing a lot of armor. NihilVerumNisiMors posted:On the topic of GAVLAN DEAL: Will the guy ever turn up in Majula?

If I'm only halfway through Forest of the Fallen Giants, about how long will it be before I can get to Harvest Valley to join the Sun covenant, and is there a way to get there early? It would be nice to earn Sunlight Medals while I'm still in the first few areas.

Holy poo poo the Rat King covenant is amazing. I almost skewered another interloper to death but he ran away onto the bridge. I followed him but accidentally rolled at the wrong moment and fell off the edge, only for him to do the exact same thing a second later. So we both died

Great Resonant Soul with a decently upgraded chime should work wonders. NihilVerumNisiMors posted:I am the most miserly sunbro though! Not even remotely. The damage really isn't that significant, less than poison. Unless you get taken down to really low HP by one of his attacks and stay close to him at that point, it's not gonna mean anything more than you healing a bit more often.

Oh god, how do I deal with the Old Knight that has a mace? I figured out how to cheese the sword/shield Old Knight by circling counter-clockwise and hitting him in the back with a 2-hand wielded mace (I started Knight, and only have 2 level-ups). The mace Old Knight, on the other hand, just seems to instantly leap at me and murder me. All the time.

It would be nice to earn Sunlight Medals while I'm still in the first few areas. It's a ways away, you need to kill the Dragonrider at least. You need the priest lady's help to rotate the weird contraption in the Fire Tower tunnel to open up the way to Huntsman's Copse. Harvest Valley is beyond another boss in there.

So, I just got to Sinner's Rise, and the water hell. I swear those chain noises are driving me insane, they're loud and ominous and it makes it impossible to tell if they're near or far until BOOM while you're fighting a biggie. Oh, and it's dark as hell, making me paranoid. Hahahahahahah. This was the Dark Souls I remember.

NihilVerumNisiMors posted:I am the most miserly sunbro though! You can melee him from outside of aura range with many, many melee weapons. Any thrust attacks or polearms work fine, it's really only super point blank no range attacks like cestus and maces that have to get that close. Either way his aura is totally insignificant even on NG+ since you're 99.999% more likely to die to a flubbed dodge into one shot than you are to aura ticking. Also what the christ, if you're a phantom pop an estus since you get it back if you win anyway.

So wait, there's still NPC summons? And you need to summon them for questlines? I know that reportedly the player signs thin out but is there something to make the NPC signs stand out? Or should I just check a wiki if I don't want to miss anything?

The only questlines are with Lucatiel and Benhart. Lucatiel's are The Rotten, Smelter Demon, Flexile, and Lost Sinner, while Benhart's are Last Giant, Looking Glass Knight, Prowling Magus, Throne Watcher/Defender. They each need to survive three out of the four for their questlines to end well.

No really, you should all buy the silver cat ring and take a trip down the well. I want to introduce you to my friends. We can have a party!  Actually for anyone that knows a lot about the stats in this game, I have a question; how viable would it be to branch out into pyromancy on an explorer? I want to use some flame magic for old times sake but I don't know how much skill investment it would take to make it worthwhile. These are my stats at the moment;  Also where did that lady you save from petrification run off too?

I have no idea how to fall down the well correctly unless I'm missing something. I'm up to the part of the fall where I need to do a jump to get the next platform and I just can't do it right. Unless there really is a ladder that all the NPC's keep joking about?
