Like, I really suggest making some alts and running them through the dancer glitch in case you wanna do some PvP builds or DLC stuff later on, before it gets fixed.

It's real drat easy.

But all three of my current alts have beaten Vordt :negative:

Can you really buy the armor from the handmaid immediately without any additional ashes?

Yep, the second Dancer is dead you can get her armour, and you get 52k souls if you've got the silver ring on, so you can literally get them right away.

The suggestion I saw that I liked the most was that they could be summoned without your ember. So, less reliable than white or gold phantoms, but don't require a resource investment.

I keep seeing purple signs every so often while not embered. Though I've yet to have the nerve to touch them :v:

I'm noticing a new trend in PvP. Dudes with Greatshields and some sort of buffed Estoc.

loving. Annoying. Thankfully that kick ring exists so I can kick their shield and murder them with my own Estoc (that I only resort to whenever I duel another Estoc player)

it's real fun fighting these guys because they can't parry the astora greatsword charge + they feel really safe in committing to attacks meaning you get to blow through their shield and instakill them

also, i really don't get parry timing in ds3 still.
poo poo feels even more variable than ds2 pvp's which was at least semi-consistent

You can buy infinite from the old lady shopkeeper much later. Also the later levels really start showering you with upgrade materials.

Okay I just did it and it was way scarier than you make it sound. That loving rear end in a top hat Sword Master constantly pulls the boss towards you, and even while running around I just barely made it with 0 Estus.

Honestly, regardless of level, I've been having really good luck with them, even up to 100-ish. Not sure if spoiler so: what blue cop covenant are you in? I go with Blades of the Dark moon and seem to get a lot of bites but I haven't played with Blue Sentinels at all since getting in. Maybe they get pulled more?

Decided to muck about with seed of a fallen giant. After 10 minutes of Benny Hill scenarios involving me, a red and two enemies running round a fountain I eventually get a red invader that I make friends with. A blue cop jumps in and well all start grinding out wau through the level. After 5 minutes a mad phantom invades who gives us the most :wtc:
series of gestures they can manage when they see they three of us palling it up. Of course they join in, and my rainbow squad proceeds to stomp the level in the gayest possible fashion. GOTY.

I am in that same covenant and got no hits despite wearing it nonstop from level 80 to 100

You can immediately buy the Dancer armor and show off your hot rear end.

Speaking of which, dancer top, smough bottom, 2h a straight sword or thrusting sword and tap block repeatedly. This is the optimal method for twerking.

Sentinels. I think I'm close to where you get the other bluecop covenant. Do you think they get precedence over Sentinels in the summoning queue?

That'd be a terrible way to implement covenant interactions, but this is FROM so...

i invaded for like 2 hours in the catacombs at 48 and despite that character being a pyromancer experiment with a +9 flame at such a low level, i never had to wait more than a few seconds for a bite. either something is up with the matching or it was matching me with people whose phantoms themselves had +9 weapons. either way, i think i lost maybe two or three fights and i owe it all to manually aiming chaos fireballs

Giant crab solution:

I waited at the edge of their range and rolled in for a hit when they shot water. The forest crabs despawned before I could kill them this way, but the next ones you find stay around for the fight.

You can kind of infer what they are by their actions near the end. They support in one of the boss fights, attacking you with spells identical to the butterflies in Dark Souls 1, only it's dark type magic. I think it's implied that they got corrupted and hosed up by the Dark Souls 3 world having gone past its expiration date.

Something about their whole aesthetic reminded me of the spirit that was inside the Bed of Chaos. Very long tendrils coming from a vaguely humanoid body.
