Sunbroed around with a guy for 45 minutes or so. Got the Pontiff down to half health then got wrecked by his blade beam. I hope you conquered him in my stead, friend.

I think they upped it. Or my first playthrough was bugged. Even at 99 hollow and capped sigils the fire keeper told me it was only 37k souls to fix. I've heard ppl say much bigger numbers now

i remember playing the beta high wall of lothric and thinking drat, look at that huge castle. i guess they arent doing that thing where every room you can see exists and has stuff anymore. that castle is just impossibly big and theres no way the whole game takes place there this isnt castlevania. the first level might be longer than this but not that much longer. that must be a facade, a skybox or something. well not only is it really that big but if you want its also really the first level.

i had to swap controllers back and forth to get this app to work but i did. watching the video again its incredible how assy this fight is. feels incomplete to me, nothing works like this in souls games except for like a random chalice dungeon buss in bloodborne that nobody cares about anway, not a drat dark souls boss! come on son.

I don't know. She just has 'level up' as an option, and she's dressed in a unique Fire Keeper's robe, in the Fire Keeper's tomb. I'll check once I get to that point on this character, though.

Wtf. Every single person I've invaded in the past hour has been T-pose gliding. I actually killed a few somehow but that's beside the point. This happened maybe one in ten times just yesterday.

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

You can also just use the torch , if I equip it in my offhand I can hit L2 like twice and kill a tar blob as opposed to 5 or 6 hits with my +6 butcher knife

I heard some ppl posit that it's based on your level/how many souls it takes you to level up, multiplied by your # of sigils. Not sure if that's correct but it would make sense of the drastically different numbers that people are seeing. Do you remember what part of the game you were in/what ballpark level range you were around when you saw that 37k figure?

edit: like if you were in the late 20s somewhere where it takes just below 10k to level and had all 5 sigils when you checked the option out that would line up pretty well

Sad to think that all the terror and misery in this dying world could have been avoided if [Consumed King boss spoilers]: Gwyn had known that he didn't need the first flame to defeat the dragons, just stand under their belly and they can't hurt you.

I don't have the jpn version installed any more but it was 37k when I hit 5 sigils and I was like lv30-45 and I beat the game at level 75 ish with more sigils and I swear iy never went higher than 37k.

I could be wrong tho. Idk. No big deal

For whoever asked, R.E., what I posted about Irina and the end of her quest: you cannot give her the Fire Keepers' Eyes, probably because the betrayal and destruction came about because of someone killing their actual firekeeper in that world.

I didn't mind Yhorm being easy because it was a great capstone to Siegward's questline and the experience was awesome as it was, but I wish Oceiros had more to him because there's not really a lot to digest or make the fight more meaningful or awesome other than that he talks.

I figure healing the dark sigil entails paying for all your shady-rear end lvl ups gained to that point, probably based on how much they'd cost at your current level
