Use it and just follow people around to figure out what there is to do in the area.

So does ringing the bell in the Belfry Luna stop the bell keeper phantoms from spawning? Or does it just open the way to the boss?

Head to the area that leads to Heide's Tower and you'll find a NPC there now and the next logical area to go to. You'll also find other branches later.

Dr. Carwash posted:Killed the covetous demon solo. What a loving joke of a boss. Easiest boss so far. Then I decide to sunbro for ez souls and the next three guys I'm helping all die to him in under a minute. He has one attack where he eats you and takes all of your gear, and you don't get it back until he dies. It happened to me and I was terrified, but I had a back-up weapon and diced the dude. He's really easy and so is the second boss in that tower. The hardest part about that entire section is dealing with the loving poison.

Tip: save yourself a lot of headaches by scouting out bosses and unfamiliar areas by sunbroing. You lose nothing if you die and gain valuable knowledge. Since many bosses tend to come in threes and have their own quirks its always good idea to see what they do. So far ive noticed that people tend to grt really caught on the chariot and sentinels fights.

Burned an effigy right outside Belfry Luna hoping that would stop the invasions.... NOPE Meanwhile, I've joined the bell keeper covenant and have yet to get summoned there myself. Does burning the effigy mess with your being summoned or something? Where should I be to get summoned as a phantom? Just anywhere in Lost Bastille?

Is there any point in keeping loot that is worse than what I already have? I've got multiple bits of gear that are exactly the same, and my inventory is getting cluttered. Also, is there much point to improving your weapons in the first few hours? I have a broadsword and eight Titanite Shards, but I don't wanna waste them on a crappy weapon. I've just beaten The Last Giant, and I've explored all the new areas that the key opened and am deciding which one might be best. There's a mist door past the area with loads of rock turtle guys, is this the right place?

Doctor Albatross posted:Is there any point in keeping loot that is worse than what I already have? I've got multiple bits of gear that are exactly the same, and my inventory is getting cluttered. First question: Dump duplicate items, put the rest into the item box at a bonfire. All gear is upgradable to decent levels. Heavier armor is naturally more protective, but if you just like the look of something, you may as well stick with it. Second question: The only categorically lovely weapons are things like the broken sword, footman sword, etc. (and joke weapons like the ladle). Everything else is totally viable, and if you've already found something you like, then upgrading it won't hurt. The materials to do so come a bit faster the further into the game you get, but if you'd prefer to play it safe, you can stick to one weapon you trust and save experimenting with others for later. That said, it never hurts to have a few backup weapons, due to durability. And last question: No, that part is optional, but technically, so is the other boss in FoFG. So are lots of other things in the game. If you find yourself somewhere new, just keep exploring! Worst thing that'll happen is you die!

Sober posted:I would say save the shards on something you want to progress, because I'll be damned if there isn't an inexhaustible source of small or large shards (as far as I could tell) until much later in the game, which makes no sense since there is a way to pretty much drown in Titanite Chunks on the other hand fairly early on. Thanks for the tip! The only trouble is knowing whether a weapon is worth progressing. I just realised the Heide Knight Sword is better, so maybe that's worth improving. I'm having a tough time with damaging these turtle guys currently.

They're too slow to really use without getting flanked by another, though. If you can single one out it's great though, I agree. Of course, when I tried large clubbing one it somehow survived two hits with 1 hp or so and led to me calling them more nasty names, so I went with the regular club and two solid hits brought them down to the point where a couple of magic urns hurt them enough to trick them to change their tactics -- from get in my face and make my life hell to sit back and spit fire everywhere. Works fine for me since I was out of estus and going full ranged item tossing by then.

Bobnumerotres posted:Just go in offline. I don't think anyone is expected to complete that area while being ganked by other players. The invasions are the entire point of the area. If you're too much of a baby you can always summon help or depopulate the little dwarf bastards to make it easier. I am disappointed by Belfry Sol though. Luna is great because it's got a nice switchback from the bell to the gate, and it has the gargoyle boss which ensures a steady flow of people and white phantoms trying to get through. The sloped roof on Sol is awkward to fight on, reaching the actual bell is easy and once someone has run through once they have no reason to go back. Luna is much better, and it's a shame I'm almost entirely out of the SM range for it now.

I guess I might just try these turtle guys until I can level up a bit more. I haven't quite figured out where I should go next other than that mist door upstairs from the turtle men, but I guess exploration is the key

Pre-ordered the collectors edition straight from Namco, was under the impression I'd be emailed the key or something on release. Instead looks like I have to wait til the thing physically gets here, which at this point is saying the 30th. Yay

Rat King Covenant RAT KING COVENANT killing all the bad guys for my lovely little rat friends  I tried to avoid PVP as much as possible until I found out that you can do it for the cuddly wuddly rattikins and now I'm angling to be the best rat bro I can be. It's really good fun apart from the shoddy hit detection on spells making it tough for them to be dodged, otherwise fuckin A I spent several hours chopping up rude invaders to bits with my rat pals.

First ragequit of a new game. Feels good to be back. I'll admit to have felt insufferably  when I found out that guy who'd dropped from a bird an hour or so back who I'd thought was a miniboss and slapped down with minimal effort was in fact the boss of the area, and I was supposed to run and fight him later. Speaking of which, am I overlooking something or is that Dragleth armor really just that much better than everything I've run across so far? I've been unable to find anything even remotely close to it in terms of stats. Since it's all upgraded via twinking I assume it's going to eventually fall behind, but until then is it really just far and away the best like it seems to be?

Sober posted:Meanwhile my +10 Longsword does like 200 damage on a R1 swing (which is barely anything), and maybe 230 on an R2 swing one-handed. Add like 25 more damage to 2H R1 and maybe about the same damage as that for the 2H R2 (a thrust attack). Because if you go a different direction you unlock infinite shards in a shop. It's kinda dumb but that particular shop tracks game progress in oddly specific ways. You don't really need them, 2 clubs or maces will wreck everything even without upgrading them.

The Drangleic Armor is going to be the best until about halfway through the game, where it will be replaced with another set of armor that is better than everything else. Don't worry, Fashion Souls starts opening up later on. Sober posted:Are you talking about the Bastille shop? I think he wants an ember or something is what he keeps going on about, he won't sell me a single thing. Nope, the small titanite shard source is in another leg of the game entirely.
