No it's cool, I'll just barely survive saving you from a Red phantom and purple bro with my chump casual tier skills, and you can just black crystal me out after I help you kill the giant crab to honor duel the farron watchdog yourself sure.

The thrill of "Oh my god I actually beat people while the host used me as a bodyguard I'm not the literal worst at PvP!" is swiftly crushed in those circumstances :sigh:

EDIT: The real hell of it is there are plenty of summon signs where I'm putting mine by the boss door. But no, pick out the guy wearing Sorcer set+Solair helmet, Flamberge, and Blue wooden shield for your Run around the level fighting mans. Not one of the three people with lategame boss soul weapons.

I get summoned by a guy in catacombs named boom hauler. We are within a sliver of the invaders health and the invader stands In front of the npc looking for his gimp mute buddy and boomhauer decides he's gonna shoot the hostage with his giant cleaver thing. Which is cool and good except it doesn't and work and my guy winds up dead

The next guy doesn't even cross the bridge and invader uses my skeleton gangbang moment to kill me

Third guy stands on the bridge after I cut it

There can be no jolly cooperation in the combs

If ou want to invade do it here

As far as I know no one has done any research on iframes.

Can thrusting swords not be setup parried or am I just unlucky with lag?

So I just googled up that using the Black Crystal apparently counts against your permanent record of online naughtiness or something.

Does that wear off eventually, or will I just be that much closer to needing to use the White circle because of the times I've crystaled out against a glitched into invulnerability boss after 5 minutes of useless beatings?

Seriously. The area design in the game is just so nice that it's criminal to have a big UI stapled over it 24/7.

The only time it's caught me out is when I forget how much health I'm currently on and forget to drink.

Except the Irithyl Dungeon. I was so excited for it when people kept saying it was the return of Latria. It's a pretty awful area, that one chained up thing was creepy but the rest are just annoying screechy mole rat people. The jailers are just kind of annoying to deal with because of their quick grab and health reduction gimmick, and they just throw a ton of them at you in the area where the NPC is so it's going to suck having to go back for that. I think that place definitely wins for worst area in the game for me.

Sunbro armor? You can get Solaire's armor if you trade with the crows.

Yeah it seemed like a bad ripoff of Latria, but at least it was a pretty short zone.

You need his beer for the chestpiece - he gives you one in the Undead Settlement part of his quest and another when you find him in a little kitchen-looking area much later in the game. Afaik both require you to have completed his questline up to that point.

You can get the other pieces of his armor by trading other stuff to the crows. I don't think any of the other items are questline-dependent.

Any suggestion for infusions for the Manikin claws? I was originally using them as a joke for PVP but I really love the moveset on them and I'm ashamed to admit I've been doing better in fights with them than with anything else I have. I'm a dex character so I was thinking Sharp, but looking at other infusion options (Fire, Raw etc) and they don't seem too bad. Or should I leave them as-is?

There's a shortcut to the first High Wall bonfire, turn right and go up the stairs after leaving the area with the fat blue guy..
