Two things:

1) The spaghetti and worm monsters in the Cathedral seem to have some kind of "super bleed." Much like Frenzy in Bloodborne, it keeps building long after I get hit...like...WAY too long. As in, the meter fills two and a half times. I'm guessing if I was nude with no bleed resist, it would be 3. The gently caress is going on? The merchant lady in Firelink isn't selling me any anti-bleed items, so I have to waste 2 Estus gulps from getting hit once. Surely there's a way to stop it from building up?

You ever play MGS 3?

Ok, in the Demon Ruins, nearish the start, there's an item across a small pit in a narrow hallway past a bunch of enemies.

Anyone know what this is? Is it worth it? Because for the life of me I can't make that jump (is there another way?)

e; or the items past Tsorig

Anyone? I looked it up and that item is an estus shard, so I def. want it, but even at 0% ecumbrance I can't make the jump.

e; got it. in the antechamer bonfire there's an invisible wall

Only if you go crazy with duping everything. Getting up to 30 proofs of Concord would be relatively safe. I'm willing to try with someone else who would have some to try and dupe.

I know you don't have to jump over any of those pits. There are always ways around to the other side. Try looking for illusory walls.

For items in the lava just fire resist and estus. You might have to make a couple suicide runs.

how the heck do you deal with the two giant crocodile wolf things before the Aldritch Faithful covenant? Even fighting one at a time I get eaten in very short order.

Stay in the alcove with the ladder. Pull the one on the left with a ranged attack, and fight it in that small space. They're a lot easier if you have an upgraded shield. Lothric Knight Shield gets pretty decent stability with upgrades. Honestly, the thing that screwed me up with those dudes is you expect to try and get behind them or underneath them like most enemies of the series, and that loving backwards bite will always destroy you. Their attacks from the front are easier to dodge. Stay in front to bait them and punish. Also you can visceral attack them when they get staggered.

I was invading in the Cathedral and got summoned into a world where the host had gone into the boss gate, but the phantoms couldn't. It didn't kick me out, so I killed the phantoms and stood at the fog gate spamming 'Hello!' and 'Hey!' over and over again until he died.

Also the T-posing is kinda funny in co-op but it's really awful when you're invading. Hopefully they fix that.

For stuff like the morion blade do you need the stats to use the weapon before the passive kicks in or does the passive always work regardless of your stats?

It's in the lava pit with Fume guy IIRC, all the way at the bottom with the basilisks and such. It's the furthest item out in the pool.

Can't find Patches anywhere - I go to the top of the Shrine tower and come back down, but he isn't there. I've already visited Irithyll so did I go too far? Is Siegward stuck in that well forever?

Yeah there's two pools with two items each.

Pool past the knight slayer- sacred flame on the left, ember on the right
Pool past a dearly departed old friend- toxic mist closest, white hair talisman (can cast both pyromancy and miracles) furthest out. I think maybe you could drop down from above from the one hole by the rat?

Put on your highest fire resist gear, use flash sweat (/profuse sweat?).

Roll, estus, walk while estusing, maybe roll again but probably not, estus, estus, estus.

Also the way from the Demon King up to the loving huge ballista was about 10 times harder than the actual King. I was really disappointed there was nothing up there though, what a rip-off. I guess I should be happy with all the nice loot in the catacomb part beforehand...

I never really bothered with the PvP/covenant stuff in the other games, is it at all likely that From will patch that stuff to make the covenant items any easier to get? I need 30 of the Concord Kepts and 30 Wolf's Blood Swordgrass both of which seem borderline impossible to get summoned for at a high level (and I've had zero luck trying to farm them)

Best five bucks I've ever spend.
I ran into a couple weird bugs trying to help people out on Crystal Sage today. At one point, the host glitched through the fog wall and I never got notice that the critical battle started, so I was just stuck behind the wall and couldn't help.

During another fight, one of the Sage's mimics wouldn't die no matter how many hits he took, and it completely stalled the battle. A new wave wouldn't spawn and I had to leave back to my world.

You don't have to kill the mimics. Just punch the sage until he ports again.

Even with my bets fire resist gear on, profuse sweat, and red bug pellets, I die right after picking up one item. Fun :geno:

I know about the lava pool behind the illusory wall, but where's the second one? I've never seen Tsorig down here.
