I got one from the DS2 giant tree right before the bridge to the tower outside Firelink shrine, the one you buy the key for. I did get invaded by a wolfbro once so I don't know if that's a factor or not.

Well that's annoying and stacks the odds even more. I've been mound invading hoping for some watchdogs but I've seen two and only as a co-op partner.

Dead Again is kind of useful in some of the more densely-packed locations, but a lot of those are fairly early on, long before you get either of the talismans that make it really exciting.

Is Lifehunt viable in PvP or mostly just PvE would you say?

I did it with a +3 dark sword, but I also used a fire resist shield and summoned the NPC dude to absorb hits while I fished for backstabs.


EDIT: ^^^ if you kite them towards the ones with red eyes, they'll fight each other if they hit one another, and you can get some free hits in.

EDIT2: vvvv I believe that's a shortcut lever for later on

I could see it working just fine in PvP with one of the Sage Ring +0/+1/+2 with a splash of DEX investment.

It's a shortcut that you have to take from the top first.

Nah, he's talking about the boss bonfire before that. I just got to the area you're in and got the first bonfire at the top before the giant set of stairs, the other one with all the floating messages is for later I'm sure.

Is it a bug or intended that watchdogs don't get announced when they invade you and that they despawn when you fight the black knight?

It's much closer than that. Once you get up to the area with all the fire casters just turn around and there will be a doorway leading to some stuff and the shortcut.

In the cathederal area, did someone at From take on a bet to design an area with a single bonfire (not counting the covenant related side area)? because goddamn that is some amazing level design.

Are catalysts still hosed? I remember hearing before release that upgrading them had no affect on your damage. And that miracles only did good damage at melee range.

Yeah, the Wolfbro that invaded me watched patiently as I fought off two NPC invaders and then healed up for our match, it was close and a lot of Sword Arts happened, but I barely won it. Definitely feels good when you have a 1v1 setting.

Man, why is everyone complaining about Abyss walkers, theres like 3 dudes and I just rocked the one guy while the other two were fighting him, super ea.... :stare: Oh... well, poo poo....



Also, I seem to only be able to summon one person instead of two. Maybe because I'm hollowed? If I use the finger I can summon 2 instead of 3, but I still get insta invaded by 2 people.

Why were those guys even there? The knights in the lake made sense because they are black knights and are still trying to fight off the demons but those guys popping up seemed random as hell.

I think. I haven't gone up the stairs to Anor Londo proper and I can't wait to get home from work to see where that goes.

Considering where they are located, it makes sense.

You do realize Irithyll is part of Anor Londo right? Black Knights are basically Gwyn's soliders, so makes sense they are still around in his hometown.


edit: Fog Door at Firelink is basically the game "loading". It stays like that until you get up to it and then it loads up the area. Yeah it's weird.
