I can't speak for the latest patch, but as of 1.04 r1.05 you can make him literally invincible to her attacks so that he'll just solo her for you while you watch. :darksouls:

They seriously need to do something about two-handed greatshields being immune to almost everything in PvP, including kicks. Its infuriating when you invade someone and they two-hand a great shield. You can kick them 3 times in a row and nothing loving happens.

The kicker is its basically impossible for them to kill you either since greatshields are awful chasing "weapons", so you end up with an idiotic stalemate.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
I knew you can get banned by picking up hacked items but is it true just being invaded by hackers can get you banned...?

Ashen Estus ring might be nice for magic users. Uh, I guess if you believed in yourself really hard, and beat the champ too, you could get prisoner's ring/his halberd really early, the priestess ring, and the alternate firelink music?

e; also the blacksmith hammer, but I dunno if that's even a good weapon at all.

I just spent fifteen minutes trying to recreate andre the blacksmith in character creator. i'd join watchdogs of farren and run around bare chested hitting people with a fire blacksmith hammer. But goddamn it's so hard to recreate a face even with refrence screenshots. He looked like some kind of hosed up tengu beak demon with a lovely hipster beard and damp limp hair.

Actually, I've never been entirely clear on what caused the mass deaths of Lothric Knights in the bottom of the Highwall. It being a repelled Pontiff attack doesn't entirely make sense, since he was able to establish garrisons uphill and Dancer is at least kind of on board with the Lothric Patriarchette's plan to send you to your inevitable demise, but what else could it have been?

I thought it was mentioned that those weird fat knights vaporized all of them with their bullshit pillars of light attack, hence why all the "bodies" fall apart into bits of armor when you run into them. I think they were connected to "the angels" rather than Irythyll.

so here's an interesting tidbit

Gonna need more testing but if what I'm seeing here with this NPC is true, the caestus R1 is unparryable

Fighting Hodrick with Sirris and he can parry my L1 1-2 combo, but no matter where he's at in the parry animation, the R1 keeps getting through. It plays the "Shield Hit" sound and everything. I also can't think of a single time in all the pvp I'm doing where I've been parried while doing the running backhand (the running R1), but I do recall several instances where I probably should have been parried.

I've been on and off playing this, so I haven't had a chance to really delve deep. Haven't even gotten to the second boss yet (Undead Settlement one).

But I got into the Mound Makers covenant, poo poo is loving crazy. I spawn in and saw the host and a white phantom. I drop down and engage the white phantom as the host high tails it to....somewhere. As I'm fighting, a red phantom drops in out of no where and start wailing on my target. Whitey flees, we give chase. Turn the corner to see a Sunbro waiting. The host is in the back just killing NPCs, while there's a 2v2 going on behind him. Freakin' Nuts.

I'm not on PS4, but Knight gear is part of what Greirat sells you after his very first looting trip. If you are later in the game and not in a position to do that, If you find where he died on his second or third trip, you can give his ashes to the fire keeper, and she will sell you everything he had and what he would have gotten on that trip/adjust her prices down to his

Um, no, besides rank. But you really should just turn them in in big groups, like save up 10 for rank one, then 20 for rank 2, or three sets of 10, or all 30 at once.

And the little boy walked down the poison swamp, looked up at Gwyn, his father, and asked, “Darling Papa, why do you hate me so?”. His father said, “Oh son, I do not hate you.” The little boy responded, “But father, I ask for food and you give me dead dragons! I ask for water and you give me burned humans. Do you still love me?”. “Still love you?”, asked Gwyn, incredulous. “My dear boy, I have never loved you.”

PRO-TIP IF YOU'RE A BIG NERD TRYING TO RUN A LUCK BUILD

Having a hollow infusion while being hollow boosts your luck by 5, which some people know. So if you're doing luck for bleed/poisons, put a hollow infusion on the shield you're inevitably not going to be using because you're dual-wielding swords.
