Do hosts get more poise than phantoms btw? I've always been interrupted, even by deprived.

Find the nearest giant monster that makes you say 'what the hell is this bullshit, that's impossible' and grind your face on it until you win. Exult in the splattered entrails of your enemy. Repeat. This has been your Dark Souls walkthrough, hope it helps!

It seemed difficult to get a reliable backstab on those Knights, so I just kited them to the door of the cathedral and poked them from there.

I don't usually get this way over games but the rediculous amount of interconnection in Undead Settlement and places I can see but can't figure out how to get to is making me extremely sad. I don't want to kill any bosses, I just want to find all the shinies :downs:

Are any of the later zones this huge and confusing and full of random buildings and tunnels?

I joined the sunbros and helped some people out after a while. What do I do with these sunlight medals? Is there someone/thing to give them to to increase covenant rank?

This level of complexity is the norm, but later areas get a bit smaller.

That sounds better, I like poking around in buildings but something about the way that everything is all loving jammed together in this zone makes me feel weird.

You can also change your character's appearance through the same method which is a first in these games. Which is good because mine was pretty uggo.

Why in the gently caress the phantoms I summon won't traverse the boss fog gates, leaving me to fight a buffed boss alone? Is this some sort of bug? It already happened 3 times in a row.

Perfectly playable without even needing any patch or external script or anything. The only jank I'm finding is menuing, which is still all labeled with xbox buttons. But you can right click and get a selectable list of all the buttons and what they do, so it's still functional.

Not that any self-respecting goon would play video games on an Xbox One (because it has the wrong kind of RAM, I'm told), but performance is really becoming an issue for me. I downloaded the Xbox version because of the whole early release in English exploit, and 80% of the game looked and ran just fine by my standards. Now that I'm approaching the game's end, half of the areas that I'm in now feel like loving slideshows. All the online disconnects I'm getting aren't helping matters either, but I suppose that could be a problem on my end. Just got killed by a boss because I got booted offline.

I got shown to it by a sunbro with great navigational skills and highly questionable combat skills.

Depending on how you play, some gifts are more useful than others. But overall, any is fine.

Started as Deprived, got wrecked over and over owing to no armor no knowledge. A couple bosses later I got to a village and lucked into a giant Great Machete drop. The game got a whole lot more fun after that, I love this thing.

Does that still let you get his drops?

Also, legit katanaman strat: dude has no poise so stunlock him to death.

Yes, just reload the area and his stuff will be where he originally was.

When I tried to archer him he ran into the wall and stood inside it forever so the next run that's how I did it. Him and me spamming r1, but only one of us was wearing plate.

Edit: fog gate thing is a bug that happens, I have been the yellow man watching in sorrow. (And twice the host killed the buffed boss anyway)

He'll do it to himself. I stepped outside, and only just turned around fast enough to catch him jumping off. I guess From Software has finally programmed smart AI, that recognizes how good at video games I am???

Wow, the Undead Settlement is amazing. The little detour that led to the bro-op session with Siegmayer and eventually led to the Cloranthy Ring was some incredibly fun and satisfying poo poo. I even got a flask of special brew out of it. This game's off to a great start,

Dodge away after a hit or two, she can't do poo poo if you're at medium range. Her tracking bolts are strafe friendly if you are close enough.

Also, if she is on fire, stay away.
