I like Patches a lot in this game. He's probably not the best character, but he's definitely the best incarnation of Patches.

NPC questline spoilers I really like how he likes Greirat because he let him out of a cell or something. If you screw up Siegward's questline and Patches still has the Catarina armor, he'll disguise himself and save Greirat in Irithyll, and if you attack Greirat while Patches is in Firelink, Patches becomes hostile to you. He also seems genuinely worried when you tell him Greirat went to Lothric Castle, though he's very tsundere about it and acts like he's just going to rob his corpse when he's clearly going to try and check on him.

Is the glitch where you can make the Sword Master summon invincible for an early Dancer kill still working? I want that armor set from the get go, but I hear some people say it was fixed, some saying it's still bugged.

Just a perfectly normal farm hand.
So I beat the game a while ago and out of boredom I decided to upgrade a Longsword +10 to just to see how OP straight swords actually are.

I have to say, straight swords aren't OP at all; what they are is completely, utterly spectacularly, "did they even play test this?", loving, loving, loving broken. I did PVP for an hour just to see how many people I could beat just mashing one-handed R1. The answer was literally everybody laying down a red sign at the Kiln of the First Flame on PC. I went something like 14-2. I'm not even any good at PVP. I wouldn't be surprised if I got reported for cheating. It was a great deal of fun. I'd been sunbroing the final boss previously and the Longsword dramatically out-performed my Claymore there too.

And this isn't even the most broken straight sword? What the gently caress From?

Yeah well the king specifically left a message saying not to touch his bell. Murder all his snake pals? Okay, they can kind of be rude. Kill an ancient wyvern? He was going senile anyways. Touch his loving bell? Buddy, that is the one thing he said you cannot do, and you did it.

So it turns out rushing the 34 strength and 30 faith required for Mourne's Hammer places you at a level where it basically 2-shots anyone. You get to play with all low level people too, because at +3 or so it doesn't lock you out of

I've heard conflicting reports of whether Patches kills him or if he will save him in a case where Siegward can't but Patches can, but seeing as how he becomes hostile to you if you attack Greirat, I'm inclined to believe the latter.

Any straight sword. Barbed is recommended because bleed is great, 11STR 11DEX.
Straight swords are also the way to defeat any rock, any paper, any scissors you may encounter in PvE and especially PvP.

You're overleveled for dogbros, but you should still get some hits as a mound maker invader or you can get summoned as a sunbro. If you want to go doggystyle the recommendation is not over lvl 30 and no weapons beyond +3

Lore talk: I guess the presence of the Nameless King puts to rest the theory that Solaire was Gwyn's first born, right? Unless he IS Solaire, and maybe the Archdragon's Peak stuff takes places in a separate reality or time to the rest of the game, like the Painted World or Artorias DLC. Or is that too crazy?

I've got to say, compared to that area the Smouldering Lake felt a bit lacking as an optional branch. Didn't really feel like it had an end point. DLC maybe? Like maybe it opens deeper? Do we know anything about the Season Pass yet?
