I let Yoel of Londor tease out my true strength. I'm reading about this on wiki's and I have no idea what they're trying to say. I get free levels, which I don't really want. But when I die I get more and more hollow and I can't summon people? I got the firekeeper soul and now I can heal the dark sign, but if I do it before I gain a pile of free levels then I'll miss a vendor?

What?

This is all optional, but if you take his deal five times before you finish Farron Keep, you'll start a quest line that leads to an alternate ending.

How do you get onto the rafters of the deep cathedral? I've tried exploring the zone but can't figure it out. I assume it has something to do with the gates you raise to form platforms, but I can't actually find a way to reach the top of them.

I'm liking bluecopping in Irithyll, everyone's on the same page. The host usually has a phantom with him so when the red runs into a pack of enemies it's nice and chaotic and in a weird way it's a fair fight. I've given some forked tongues and got plenty of whatever the bluecop token is called again. If I ever find out where I'm supposed to hand them in I'll probably be due a reward.

What level/reinforcement are you getting summons at for Irithyll out of curiosity?

I know about the finger, its not that simple. Sometimes you can only summon one and then you have to use the finger to summon 2. Its inconsistent. First I've seen 4 friendly players.

And before somebody says its based on hollowing, I don't have any hollowing. Usually only get 1 summon unless using the ring. Maybe its based on zone?

I was wrong when I said it was about hollowing earlier. Its just the finger, it adds +1 summon, for zones with 2 summons it lets you have 3 and for zones with 1 summon it lets you have 2.

On the one hand, I should consider ceasing to read the thread, because you are not the first person to spoil me on that. (At least you black barred it!)

On the other hand, I did the thing long before that point and had an unspoiled reaction to the result, and fully intend to fulfill my buddy's dreams.

The Cathedral of the Deep is an insanely cool level, and peak Dark Souls. Now I just need to decide if I want the Astora GS or the Executioner.

Man, the Dancer is such a let down. That boss looked so loving cool in the trailers but when i got in to it she just looked around not doing much of anything while i wailed on her. Ended up killing her in 1 shot. They needed to make her more aggressive and use a get off me move so you can't just hit her rear end forever.

Just killed the Cathedral boss. I heard there's an NPC in this area that lets you respec your poo poo -- where are they? Are they somewhere past those two bigass giants? Is there a way to deal with them that doesn't involve plinking arrows at them forever?

The Astora (U)GS looks sweet but the Executioner gets FP back and has a sweet spin attack, so I guess that wins. Surprisingly I have only seen three normal swords; longsword, broadsword, and ISS.

I could only summon one in the Cathedral, for whatever reason, hollowing at 19 so I doubt that's it. I also had a dark spirit invade and leave and it didn't tell me.

I'm currently getting my dick kicked in by some frost beast underneath the Undead Settlement. If I've cleared out everywhere else in the area, is that the only path to go? Or am I missing something?

From the bonfire go through the shortcut and up the lift to the crossbow undead. Walk rounf the ledge and up the buttress to get to the rafters, then drop down to the wooden ledge on the other side.

They're not as scary as they look. Lure them onto solid ground and nip at their heels until they die.

Another great thing about the zweihander.

It can utterly cheese the abyss watchers because the one handed thrust knocks them down, and you can queue up another before they can get back up.

I'm pretty sure that's what you have to do now. I'm just finished that area tonight and am psyched to head into the third zone after work tomorrow. There's a trick to that icy beast fight I discovered while running away...

Stop blocking :v: Let her swing, dodge behind, backstab. If you have a fast weapon, she's not impossible to stagger. She's also tremendously weak to all forms of magic/fire/light/dark, so any infusions/enchantments or spells should help out.

You get the free levels by dying, like I said, and then talking to him. Yes, healing the dark sign ruined it for you.

Ah, right, OK.

He stopped giving me the option, I didn't know what the darksign did so I healed it, but it kind of looked like it was a curse or something because I still have the option to heal one, so i figured I'd got it from something in the world

From the first bonfire, progress through the area until you reach the rocky overpass right behind the first harpy priest. In that area, look for a path to the left leading down the cliff face. A hostile NPC will be down there.

The addition of weapon upgrade gating for matchmaking has resulted in my actually being able to beat invaders because I'm not facing ultra optimized opponents. I've beaten every watchdog / red orb combo that's come at me in the Road in my quest to kill those drat crabs.

That was incredibly easy. I don't know how that didn't occur to me, given that's how I was killing all the birds on the way to her the previous five attempts.

It's near the start of the area, on a path that branches off to the left after you drop off a ledge. There were a large number of warning messages before her path in my game.
