I have yet to solo the Dancer but U can dodge her move set like a freaking pro. Sometimes she catches me though and then the rest of the combo hits me and I die. I'm close though.

Oh right you can start with a red eye orb. If you do it right you could get a perma orb in like 10 minutes, wow.

Or you can rush the demon and get a pale tongue and kill the boss right afterward almost as fast. Undead Settlement is ftw.

oh, the pyromancy flame comes with a free "combustion" spell as the weapon skill, but it is incredibly weak. like, punching with the flame in hand will deal way more fire damage lmao and actually the pyromancy flame punch is perfect for dealing w/ stuff that has an acute weakness to fire like the snake monsters and tar blobs

Lets be honest. Nobody wanted a platforming element. Anyway there's two 'falling puzzles' like how you got to The Gulch in DS2 except they're both optional. However they both contain sw33t l00t.

I don't think I've ever invaded somebody who didn't have a phantom with them. Is that how invasion works now or is it just that hella people are summoning.

you need to be cindered, and people in NG largely only remember to cinder when they need help.

i say hang back and wait for backup since it usually comes right away

I have been idling for like 5 minutes and no second summon. Kinda annoyed at all these 3v1s.

there's a way to bypass part of the crypt at the start by heading to the right and falling down a few platforms

Oh that wasn't the issue. I put the item down and would get summoned instantaneously. It was just always without 3v1 which was kinda lame.

Well now that I've been summoning for it, it doesn't seem as bad for other people. Literally every single attack of his one shots me but this doesn't seem to be the case for hosts in seeing. Maybe I'll return later
