So I'm wondering, I found Lifehunt Scythe, and it says it drains HP. But I tried it against a pair of the hollow(?) stealthy dudes in Irithyl, and it didn't seem to drain anything. What's up with that?

The cathedral area is where you can respec actually. Gotta find a hidden covenant. Unfortunately, doing so will piss off a certain NPC preventing you from finishing their quest line.

Thanks. I'm just realizing now that I'm at a stage where you start getting a lot more tomes for pyro/sorc and I've realized that I should be infusing my weapon with non-scaling damage until I can get it to scale off my int or faith. I also left attunement untouched because I didn't realize it raised your FP as well as spell slots :v:

I love the Court Sorcerer's Hat. All of the magic outfits in this game have been so far awesome, much better than Dark Souls 1 in that regard (Channeler Set erryday there).

I feel like I've seen it in a movie someplace, although my character's face is super pale so maybe it's that which seems familiar.

The second one is Irithyll. Third one is Lothric Castle, and will always kill him.

I could have sworn I sent him out twice before Irithyll, but I guess not? v:confused:v

There are a few that are good / great. I really like the guard break on the Claymore, for example. Overall I rarely ever use them though and never bothered to upgrade the blue bar.

Getting a summon for nameless king requires the quick reflexes of a Korean starcraft player. I wouldn't mind that fight solo nearly as much if I didn't have to go through the dragon phase first every time.

Jesus, King of the Storm is really poorly designed. You have to fight 2 bosses in a row and the first one isn't even hard, it's just a major pain in the rear end because of terrible camera issues.

The second one seems like he'd be a fun boss if I didn't have to fight my camera for 2mins before every attempt :negative:

Right now you basically have to be standing on a summon sign when it appears to be successful just about anywhere.

I just had a pretty lucky glitch happen to me with the giant fire demon (Balrog?) in the Catacombs. After getting my poo poo handed to me multiple times, I went to retrieve my souls and rolled off to area below. I went back up the stairs and he was gone. I then received the soul of a demon which you get from defeating him. Have no idea how that one happened.

Skeletons will attack him, and if you got his health down far enough first I could see one taking him out without you noticing.

Two Quick questions:

1. Can I first person aim with a crossbow or bow only?

2. How conservative do I have to be with titanite scales? I'm assuming I can purchase them eventually, but is it all the way at the end of the game?

Sniper crossbow has aim. I found enough natural titanite scales in a not-very-completionist playthrough to +4 two weapons. (+5 always requires a slab)

You can purchase them in the endgame and the endgame drowns you in scales

Couldn't have been that, the fight had just started since I ran into the room to grab my souls and immediately rolled away.

FYI the obscuring ring (turn in 10 tongues to the slug lady) loving OWNS for pvp. The range that it makes you invisible at is super generous- although there's no indication of if you're obscured or not, I've played around with it enough to be able to use it to my advantage most of the time. There are moments where I'll run around a corner into a dead end and hide at the end of the hallway and when hosts/phantoms chase my they turn the corner and act super confused for a bit. Allows you to get the drop on people nearly all of the time.

Are you talking about the rear end in a top hat dragon at the Peak? If so He's a gimmick and not the actual boss of that area. You plunging attack on his head and he instantly dies.

I don't recall any good sorceries being up there though.

In PVP nobody seems to know how to handle Boulder Heave so you can spam it over an over again while they just lay there forgetting they can roll away. It feels really cheap.

I have dragon questions. Why do the messages on the floor say "Hey if you want to join The Path Of The Dragon, the covenant from DS1 and DS2, a very loving specific name, then DON"T ring this bell" and "I'm fuckin' serious ringing this bell will delete this whole area don't fuckin' do it" as developer messages that can't be rated then there's no dragon convenant. I ran around that rear end in a top hat stage for hours looking for the covenant and I gave up and never rang the bell and I find out ringing the bell makes the place foggy until you beat the boss and that's it. What the gently caress are these dumb loving messages that straight up lie to you?

Great chaos fire orb, makes a lava puddle where it hits. Great for murdering knights who tend to stand in it. 25 fp

Chaos bed vestiges, has a huge wide spinning flame that hurts everything it passes, destroys groups really well. If you ever watched Naruto it's basically shuriken rasengan but on fire. 35 fp

Magic was tough early game because of fp, but now what I have a lot of estus I use 6heal/4magic split (need 2 for coop)

Also I finially got chaos weapon on my sword and it scales B int/faith, my melee is insane too now. With 10/10 str/dex.

Some rear end in a top hat caster used this on me in Farron Keep. Just stood in the deep water and as I approached slung his dirty caster spells at me. I literally sat on a little island for like 10 minutes wondering where he was until I saw his filthy caster rear end spell effects out in the swamp. Gonna be pulling the exact same dirtbag tricks on my next play through.
