Also, where can I buy miracles? I started as Deprived and am going an ATT/VIT/END/STR/FTH build but haven't been able to find a vendor that sells any vendors through the Undead Settlement yet.

Equip load is pretty seriously restrictive this time around if you're using any large weapon, isn't it? I really want to wear some cool-looking armor like the Fallen Knight set and wield a curved greatsword, but even at 20 Vit that takes me to 75% equip load on its own.

I wish they'd just wrapped equip load back into Endurance.

Is there a list somewhere of "stuff you may have missed in that last area you just left?"

I get obsessed about my potential to miss the handful of absolutely ridiculous semi-secret areas that I know I'd never find without a heads-up.

You have to find a particular NPC. Maybe look around the Undead Settlement portion that leads to the church..

If you want to be a caster, start as a caster class. The spell people don't always show up right away.

Yes. Yes you did.
Got summoned with another dude to help a host kill the first boss. Basically with all of us chainganking him we killed him in about 30 seconds without anyone taking damange, it was nuts.

I gotta say though, I miss that little chime that charged power attacks had in Bloodborne before they struck.

Go back to Road of Sacrifices/nice part of the swamp to find another path.

I think they're more referring to how interconnected the levels are, not how different levels are interconnected. It is fairly linear. What you're missing is that there's another path on the Road of Sacrifices leading to its boss, and the area beyond will allow you to progress.

In the Crucifixion Woods, in the ruined fort immediately before the Crystal Sage, there's a upper level in the very final room that has a few items strewn about. Does anyone know how to access them?

This one time I bought 10 pounds of pork chops and I tried to eat all of them over 5 days.

I got super sick. I was making GBS threads my pants when I was coughing. I was throwing up from coughing. And I was making GBS threads my pants when I was throwing up.

I realized this early on and pumped my VIT to 16 early. Paying off now being able to quick roll with full chain, Lothric helm, knight shield, and Deep Battleaxe.

In the previous games you could trade the boss souls for unique weapons, I imagine it's the same here.
