Can you kill the tree after getting into the Mound Makers?

Ya. I think you can join the Mounds after you kill the tree but it sounds even more complicated than the first way.

The tree btw is a really great fight and the best boss of the three Ive fought. I assume you can just jump into the chasm after the fight in order to get to the MM altar, right? Or do you have to hitch a cage ride every time.

Yeah, I killed tree on my first playthrough, but now I've got a Dark Hand, full Dark Sigil and am a member of the Mound Makers until I get to Rosaria, so I want to kill the tree, because it's the last thing to do in Settlement, etc.

only 6 or 7 hours in but something small that i am liking is that hitboxes are really tight. i accidentally put down a summon sign while in combat and when my guy bent over the spear being thrust at him went millimetres over his head and it looked really sick, like i'd intentionally done a matrix dodge.

the only bad hitboxes are some of the grabs

Jesus christ I can't remove this covenant medal I just keep getting hits over and over nonstop it's actually getting really annoying.

Why does THIS covenant work and watchdogs didn't?

I feel like I must be really lucky or something, because I don't think I've ever been grabbed by a bullshit hitbox from a grab in one of these games, but it's such a common complaint.

I was in the same boat it was just non stop pvp action. I had never finished out a covenant so quickly

I had to summon help with the Pontiff because his second stage was just wrecking me, and he was so easy with just one other dude to split his attention that I feel dishonorable. :(

Also I'm past Aldrich, just heading into the Dungeon which is like Tower of Latria Enhanced Edition and is incredible and I want someone to reassure me I'm not getting near the end of the game because it kind of feels like it for some reason. Like, give me a % on how far I am in please/

im disappointed in Flynn's Ring, it's kind of garbage now unless you're completely naked.

Depending on how much optional stuff you've done you're at like 75%

Wow the High Lord was really unfun to fight. He kept spamming the charge attack and the breath attack which is just an instant kill if you're already at the end of the arena. Anyway I'm in the Boreal Valley now and I'm glad the Bloodsouls theme is still going lol.

There's an optional boss that's at least as hard as orphan. You seriously can't slip once

Same lol. I glanced at the wiki earlier to see what the grave warden dust gave me because the handmaidens shop was already huge and I realized I missed at least 5 ashes that werent even hidden earlier

Anyway the Farron Greatsword is so loving awesome, but specifcally nothing in Iytlhl or whatever seems to have good poise, so it's really fuckin good here when all these enemies have huge opening in between their flurry of cleave attacks

The Mound Makers are the most twisted and chaotic of the covenants, so they're purple because that's the Joker's color.
