:siren:Serious protip for people:siren:: if you don't want to be locked out of the mound makers covenant early on then don't kill the tree boss (should be second?) until you've gotten the cutscene on the opposite side of the zone after dropping off the roof and talking to Hodrick.

Apparently there's a way around this by getting summoned but I've yet to make it work.

So I'm at this point but I have no idea where "the opposite end of the zone" is. Anyone able to give a hint?

You had to make him a promise that you'd bring him new spells. If you kill too many bosses without fulfilling your promise, I think he's permanently gone.

I only killed a few bosses, and it took me a while to find my first scroll, was there a hint about where to find some scrolls super early or something?

So apparently he's just gone now...how do i get sorceries then?

Anal Surgery's Trip To Undead Settlement!

Night 1: gently caress, lot of hard poo poo. I'll just sprint past these dudes and this fat lady and, say, a bonfire by a cemetery where everyone is getting shot with giant arrows. Sprint sprint sprint, now I'm seeing that Tree everyone is talking about. Time for sleep, I think I'm not supposed to fight it yet.Huh, what a short, linear area!

That's where I ended up my first play session too, had the same thought.

There is enough time after the fire dissapates to either make a run for an item and back or sprint all the way across. You can get everything there with a little patience.

Okay how the gently caress do estus in multiplayer work? Everytime I've invaded, I've gotten two regular and one magic. I thought that was always the case. But I just got invaded by two dark wraiths at the same time, both of them definitely not NPCs, and I counted them using way more than two. Almost beat both of them, despite them working together, but the last one survived with a sliver of health even though I nearly killed him like 4 times. I kept thinking "well he doesn't have any estus left" and then oh look he does.

I don't get it.

I see. Didn't notice that myself since it rounds down, so the estus shards I've found since getting the orb hadn't actually added anything to my invasion counts.

Also if you dickwraith and run into an invader that is blue, how can you work with him instead of trying to murder each other? Shameful.

I needed some magic resistance for the Crystal Sage and the combo amused me. Incidentally, gently caress phase 2 Crystal Sage.



Oh god yeah that second stage. I Sunbro-ed a few times there and it feels like 9/10 times I guess wrong and do nothing but clear out clones while the host does all the work because I'm on the wrong side of the arena. At least I'm reducing the amount of attacks in the air and giving the clones something to target I guess.

At least it's an incredibly easy boss to figure out even if victory is a good chunk luck.

Anyone know where the respec item is? I'm level 40 and I've been speccing for Sorcery, but since the Sorcery seller guy up and left, I'm way behind on actual spells to cast vs. the super hard enemies I'm fighting at this point in the game.

Edit: Unless there's some tricks to fighting the enemies in Irithyll, but they all seem awful. Especially the pyromancer fucks.
