Ah, RIP. Oh well, at least we can invade/summon across NG/NG+.

Hey Tallgeese, how's the anti-cheat situation? Would I get softbanned or anything if I used it offline to get more than one copy of some weapons? I like to gift poo poo :3:

Question for those who might know - does the password system still allow you to summon people from outside your level range? Because I could use some higher level help on something rather dumb that I'm trying right now.

Oh no! I have made a terrible mistake!

Seigward died in the time it took me to go grab stormruler, equip it, and charge it as I was walking back. I get the feeling I could have had him survive that and it doesn't look like the game gives you any second chances...

It does but the larger the range the more time it'll take you to get a summon. Also make sure you do it away from heavily summoned bonfires.

Yeah. At least the sage has a gimmick that you have to catch on to before you can slam him into the ground (even if it's an extremely obvious one that's been done a thousand times before), while Pinwheel can be easily defeated on the first shot by someone who has no idea what he even does by just rushing in and hitting him a few times.

Hell, I don't think *I* have any idea what sort of attacks pinwheel uses. He looks neat, but calling the encounter with him a "fight" is being generous. Literally goes down faster than some of the regular enemies in the area before him.

I was doing about a 3rd of the damage you were doing when I fought him. He can be kinda tricky if you gotta go through that clone stage a few times.

It's really difficult to say. I am not able to rule it out, especially if you try to do boss souls.

I mean, there's one report of somebody being flagged for picking up a stack of 99 boss souls from someone. Thing is, they can be legitimately dropped, so...

Best five bucks I've ever spend.
I actually died on Crystal Sage my first attempt. He one-shotted me with homing crystal soul mass within ten seconds of the fight starting.

I put on some armor for the second attempt and didn't have any issues. Pinwheel is easier, though.

So I can't use the dried fingers because it causes a memory leak and hardlocks the game. That's interesting.

Blunt damage (I forget what that's actually called, but hammers, maces, etc).

Also, I assume blessed weapons will still prevent skeletons from reforming as they have in the past, though there's only a handful that even do it in 3 anyway.

What was going on in that pit under the bridge in the catacombs (you go there via smoldering lake) There were messages and blood stains everywhere saying "not a friend" etc. and blood stains but there was nothing there for me.

Everyone wants help, but not enough people are helping, supply and demand I would assume.

"Unable to summon" usually means someone else got to it first.

i just had a super weird co-op experience

went to go help someone with the cursed tree boss but for some reason the fight didn't properly activate, so we couldn't enter the fog door. there was just a tree boss without a healthbar and music.

me and the other phantom were confused but eventually just went around and unlocked the rest of the shortcuts in the other guy's world

Not a hard boss but that might be one of my favorite yet just because of how loving weird it was.

Anways, I've been doing some testing on rapport. It only seems to work on humanoid enemies, but against them its possibly the most broken spell ever added to this series. You cast it on them, they become your ally. Being your ally includes letting you bash them in the face repeatedly until they die without ever attacking you. So against single enemies its a free battle win, and against groups they tear eachother apart. Those knights I keep hearing people bitch about in Lothric castle? If I wanted to, I could just spam this spell and they would all be completely trivial.

Guess I'm gonna have to restrain myself from using it, even if it is funny as hell.

EDIT: Is the white hair talisman as good for pyromancies as the regular pyro hand is?
