Did this once while heading out trying to get some breathing room and walked straight off the edge. That'll teach me to not carry a torch. Also: http://puu.sh/8oVGQ.jpg This is where I'm at. Please tell me I don't have to go to those green caves. I hate those caves.

Matlock Birthmark posted:So. I'm in Shaded woods now. I'm at the woman scorpion caster, and I know I've missed something. Someone summoned me and went into the boss and was able to have the male scorpion as an assist. Where do I even begin to find that? I've never seen that myself but if you go to Majula and buy the whisper ring from the cat and talk to the male scorp dude in shaded woods that you missed maybe you can summon him for the fight? I talked to him after I beat that boss and he's like "so, you killed her". Maybe?

Before you go find him, back to Majula and buy the Whipser Ring from Shailquor. You need this to talk to the NPC. Alright so from the Shaded Wood bonfires, you know how you see those curse lions and the huge rear end basilk? Make a left past the curse jar that is nearby and there should be an opening which has a bunch of curse jars, and walk down stairs and you should see a huge opening. He's down there. Don't attack him. Equip the Whisper ring and exhaust his dialogue option and his summon sign shows up at the boss door. If he dies during the fight, you gotta go rest at a bonfire for him to respawn back at his orginal location.

So on my 3rd cracked red eye orb i finally got a host solo, on the No Man's Wharf. (I haven't reached a farther area yet.) We kinda danced around each other, both with the Greatsword, but he also had a tower shield against my no shield. I nailed him with the Run+R1 twice, but he just healed back up. ... I kinda forgot that hosts can still heal during an invasion, haha. I then switched to the Fire Longsword instead and 2hand poked him to death after i aited out his 2 massive swings that left him without stamina to dodge. First token of spite. gently caress yeah, i still got it.

You need the Ring of Whispers from the cat in Majula to actually speak to him though. Exhaust his dialogue and you can summon him.

If anyone wants a medal or something put down a sigil right before you get on the boat and I'll try and hit it! There are tons of summon signs near any boss or bonfire right now. Either you're not fully human/hollow or you have a network issue. Or you're way under/over-leveled for the area.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:It's probably because you're playing over HDMI. I keep hearing this, but I've played over HDMI from the very beginning and have had zero problems.  So I just finished fighting Executioner's Chariot and The Bone Lords. The first one was an agonizing challenge as the two phantoms I summoned died in that horribly gimmicky first phase, and I had to power through the second phase which had pumped up health and a horrible hitbox. After that I went into the second all scared, and it turned out to be probably the easiest boss fight I've ever had in a Souls game. It just seems like such a disparity for two bosses that are more or less separated by nothing more than a left/right fork. Otherwise I'm really enjoying the game so far. Honestly my only problem is that it seems like nobody is really invading yet, so my Blue Sentinel's ring and cracked blue orbs are worthless.

Fuuuuuck, I hate this Soul Memory system. Why do they make the restrictions so tight when this game is so nonlinear? Sitting outside the boss door for BONE CHARIOT  waiting for a summon but nobody is picking me up. Its probably because I did the Gutters before this place and thus am out of the level range.nftyw posted:Did this once while heading out trying to get some breathing room and walked straight off the edge. That'll teach me to not carry a torch. This ares is not NEARLY as bad as it looks. I mean its awful and horrible but its incredibly small. You only need to work your way past the first part once, because there is a bonfire right next to the boss door. So chin up, carefully work your way down the toxic road and look for the messages to find the bonfire. From the bonfire you can run straight to the boss door in about 10 seconds. VVV I do have the ring. Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Apr 27, 2014 |

Popping two/three of them counters the poison effect. edit: Get the name engraved ring. It extends the SM range at least by two levels. That may not seem alot but considering SM level is based on how many souls you acquired, it's actually pretty decent. edit: Maybe place your summon sign somewhere else? You'd be surprised how many people fall off that bridge.

Also this stupid boss on top of these twoers is owning me Those small pigs are murder.  And yeah, use a Human Effigy from your inventory. You can turn human anywhere as long as you have Effigies in your inventory. Burning them at a bonfire (like humanities in DS1) has an entirely different function.

Ruin sentinels are so easy I don't know why people have trouble with them. White phantoming is detrimental IMO because their HP skyrockets. Just upgrade a mace and demolish them one by one, their attacks are so slow you have days to roll away from them. That fight is all about waiting for them to do one of their big dumb attacks that leave them wide open for several seconds and getting in some hits, then repeat. Just don't get greedy and it should be cake. USE A MACE because they have basically 0 blunt damage resist.

But if you fall?Three of them. Yeeeeeeah. Also if you really wanna destroy them? Powerstance the maces. It staggers the poo poo out of them with the L2 combo (aka strong shield attack button)

I got my face mashed a few times because up until that point I had been rebelling against Dark Souls tradition and was two-handing a bastard sword at their asses. One decent shield and a one-handed weapon later, dead ruin sentinels.

Oh, that reminds me. I was summoned in for Ruin Sentinels, and the other summon was a sunbro with glowing red eyes. The sentinels stayed glued to him the whole fight, which makes the encounter pretty easy when he's armored to the teeth. I assume that's a ring? (no need to tell me where it is)

I ate an effigy right outside of the Flexile fog door, for instance, and didn't see anything at all. Are you trying to bro it up for Fexile? The boat can move so any and all soapstone markings that are put on the boat are instead put on the pier connecting to the deck.

It's great when you want to be the turtle and let other people whack the boss. Or for the NPC summons that you want to survive considering they get their rear end handed too.

Summoning phantoms doubles/triples boss health, it gives regular enemies a little more health but I mean little, like if they usually take 4 hits, with phantoms they'll take 5-6. Bosses actually go down way faster when you're alone, unless you get lucky and summon someone who's overgeared as hell.

I would tell you but I don't think you are far. There is a method to getting techincally infinite number of them but unforunately it's way later in the game. I think in game, you only find like 12 of those.

No, the bonfire connected to Belfry Luna is after the boss and the whole point of the Bellbros is to keep you from reaching that boss. Burning an effigy in the bonfire before the Belfry will not work (believe me I tried it). Your only option really is completely disconnect from the internet and play offline. You'll still get invaded, but it will be by NPC guys who are easier to handle (and who stay up on the optional roof area). Shindragon posted:Depends on how far you are in.

I have become guardian of the bell... no one will touch my bell... go away... please dont make me do this... no, I cannot let you up there... sorry...sorry... Death to all those who trespass. I kept trying to take the ring off, so as not to be summoned. But it was just so quick, there's so many people up in this belltower that it wont let me take it off. I finally got it off between invasions to take a quick break.
