Its only your highest weapon that matters, so if you have another +4 thats not equipped that's fine. If +2 is your highest, you need to get on it, buddy. You been exploring? Should be swimming in titanite already. Make sure you don't have a password set. In my experience lots of people summon for crystal sage even though its super easy.

Will Holy Knight Hodrick still invade me after I've killed the giant tree? He killed me once because when I ran into him I was out of estus. I wanted to go take care of him now that I'm in cindered form again, but I just realized that he may not show up since the boss is gone. Also, I just read that killing the boss hosed up my access to one of the covenants  The undead settlement is huge; I guess it pays to explore before fighting the area boss.

So I'm liking that there is an actual, non gimmicky choice you have to make for shields. I like that the basic shields make you choose between having good poise or 100% physical resistance and you don't really get both until they get intolerably heavy with high str requirements. It actually gives you some imperative to what you choose for your offhand rather than just throwing on a kite shield / grass crest shield and calling it a day.

CJacobs posted:Yes the area where they just stacked 12 of them right on top of each other walking in a line like they're trying to do a conga and said "yeah that'll be fine" is real good enemy placement man. Giving them a tracking grab attack that is guaranteed to kill you in 1 hit because of their health reduction is also great. When I encountered that area my immediate reaction was to stay the gently caress away from them and use the obvious side areas to avoid them. I thought that was a rather clever room that rewarded thinking about how to deal with it rather than running in for treasures.

I wanted to go take care of him now that I'm in cindered form again, but I just realized that he may not show up since the boss is gone. There's a way to join the covenant again at the very end of the game, but I think it requires not loving up one of the characters' storylines, but I'm also not positive about that. Eonwe posted:so basically I can never go and equip a +2 and help a pal out with the tree guy once I upgrade enough? You can always co-op with ANYBODY using passwords, regardless of level entirely. But for invading and I believe also co-op without passwords you have a level/upgrade range.

Sooo those whatever the gently caress you call them in Archdragon peak. They remind me of the loving torch wielding fuckers at the beginning of Demon's Souls that would come at you and swing 50 times in one second, except now they do a million more damage with their little knife of epic damage. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

Carl Seitan posted:Who killed them? Someone has to pay the iron price for that. Patches is definitely the one who trapped Sigmeyer down the well. If you don't protect Greirat using Sigmeyer or Patches, he dies in the zone you send him to, you can find his body.  Patches is still a dick to most people like Sigmeyer, but he respects Greirat because he's a fellow theif and Greirat helped him out once. Sigmeyer will protect Greirat because he's just a nice guy.

Huge qualify of life improvement. Holding back levels in DS1/DS2 to stay in range with a friend is a huge pain. In theory if the host is way lower level than the summon using a password your "power level gets reduced to that of the host", but I have no idea how that actually works out. Some kind of damage cap or stat cap?

Carl Seitan posted:Who killed them? Someone has to pay the iron price for that. Well for the first guy patches kills the merchant. In order to save him you have to both A) not tell patches where he goes off to and B) Rescue Siegward in his questline. Siegward saves Geriat after you release him. For the second there's an assassin monster in disguise as a statue in the room where you last see Anri alive. If you kill the Assassin, you anger Yuria and she leaves. You also need to have Anri dead here in order to get the secret ending.

I completed all of Anri's questline up until she died literally AS I finished Pontiff Sulyvahnn, against his summoned phantom. If she could have just held out one more second... I was hoping she was okay anyways until I saw her armor for sale. I hosed up.  Also I was doing the one darkmoon lady's questline, and I invaded her world to help her against creighton, but then I hosed up and apparently working for rosaria's fingers permanently makes her hostile to you. There goes that quest as well! Welp, quests are something you do in NG+, I've always said. Estraysian posted:Patches kills Greirat if you tell him where he went. With Anri it depends on when she died. Nope, backwards. Patches protects Greirat who dies if he doesn't have anybody to protect him. Greirat dies the 3rd time you send him out no matter what

Using the dried finger to summon a third coop partner is probably the greatest thing ever. Having my three friends hide behind objects when someone invades me and bum rushing that fool is the highlight of this game so far.

Just a yes or no, please -- is it possible to mitigate the jailers' proximity effect on your health bar in Irithyll Dungeon? I really think I love this zone and wanna check all of it out, but these things are like twice as bad as the jailers from Latria.

Robo Reagan posted:I meant how is Straight Sword overpowered Oh Well, it's pretty straight forward. They deal really good damage and can stunlock most enemies to death, since they also use little stamina. A Greatsword of similar scaling/upgrade path will only deal like 20% more damage than a Straight Sword counterpart, while being considerably slower and using huge amounts of stamina. It's pretty broken, basically.
