Good Hunter, what... what is this post?
Ok so spoilers-

I'm thinking probably you don't need to spoil most NPC/place/enemy names, unless they actually are spoilers?

Like knowing that there's an NPC named Serris isn't a spoiler, if you don't know anything else. But there's another NPC that probably would be.
Or Farron Keep isn't a spoilerific place name, but there is at least one place that totally is a spoiler.
Yhorne/Abyss watchers/whoever else aren't a spoiler, because they're introduced in the opening cutscene! But there's probably some bosses that their names are spoilers. Certainly some enemies that are good surprises.

This would cut down on a bunch of black bar clutter. Use the names and then big box what you actually want to talk about.

Use your best judgement?

e; hang on.

Use your best judgment ?

Please. The true romance path is Vordt :colbert:

Speaking of Vordt, I'm getting closer to taking that fucker down. I absolutely know how, and I've even gotten him down to being a magic pixel away from dead, but I still haven't quite gotten there. Not gonna trivialize it by getting help, though. Vordt deserves to die with honor.

Wait, how would one even get stuck at Firelink, there's literally just one thing to do when you first get there.

I spent a while checking every wall and cliff around firelink because it never occurred to me that I'd be able to warp somewhere I'd never visited, and therefore assumed that even if I couldn't see a bridge or something, there'd be a bird or a tunnel.

Yeah, I thought you had to run to the next area from Firelink to continue like you did in the first Dark Souls but after doing a few laps and only finding some locked doors and an angry naked katana man I figured out that I had to warp to the next area.

In the Cathedral of the Deep, not the catacombs. You need to get to the rafters of the main hall and from there you drop down onto a wooden platform. You should see a bunch of grub enemies. She's past all that.

Is she permanently there? Did I gently caress up by not finding her before I killed the priest congregation?

Abyss Watchers is one of my favorite boss fights in the entire series and I died about fifteen times on them last night before ragequitting myself to sleep. Feels like the same sort of difficulty wall I always hit when I play DS1 again and run into O&S.

Second phase is easier than the first imo but theres a gimmick that makes the cutscenes important

Couple people got super upset about this in the DS2 thread way back.

Feel free to propose a new phrase if it bothers you so much. One-shot is just convenient and its obvious you didn't actually kill the boss in one blow. "shot" means attempt, jeeze.

So I just beat the boss of Catacombs thanks to a kind phantom who sadly died at the same time as the boss. Bless you buffalo.

Holy hell the view you are rewarded after. I'm so hype for this next area. :drat:

On another note I totally took up the Rosaria's Fingers covenant before doing stuff with Serris and she still gave me the gesture and stuff and is on good terms with me. Didn't have the covenant item on at the time I spoke with her or did other things though so maybe that has something to do with it.

Where the hell is Patches? I've gathered that he's somewhere in the Cathedral but I ran the whole place through without seeing him. Is there some sort of trigger, or did I manage to miss yet another area?

I got stuck at Firelink. I try to read all the NPC text so I dunno how I managed to miss that you were supposed to warp to Lothric rather than take some path.

I'm over halfway through the game though and the Firekeeper still says the same things she did at the start. She's even more worthless than the Emerald Herald.
