The more powerful rings have higher weight and lower durability. There is actually a way to see those invisible guys and lock onto them, but it's locked behind the door Geop is to much of a wuss to open.

I absolutely hate this area. The phantoms always manage to sneak up and scare me. I remember the first time I was chatting with the NPC in here when suddenly one of them hit me in the back, scared the poo poo out of me.

I haven't tested out the Old Sun Ring but it sounds a lot like the Karmic Justice miracle from Dark Souls 1. Dark Souls goon ECEC has a bunch of videos where he does gimmick PVP with Karmic Justice.

This was one of the most memorable (and personally one of the best made) areas from the game for me. I loved it. Just not while I was walking through it.

I feel that player phantoms tend to have a certain 'agitation' to their actions that distinguishes them from the NPC ones, like how that first NPC phantom was just calmly walking back and forth not doing much, but with any of the human phantoms you can imagine them going "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" the whole time and it fits perfectly. The guys beelining through the fog? "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" The guy sprinting up the ramp around Shrek's swamp? "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" The guy suddenly levitating into the air? "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" The guy swinging that greatsword around in the fog? "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" It's a sort of 'screaming internally' quality through which you can sense the presence of a human.

I think Chloanne has a wishbone from the traditional Drangleic September Thanksgiving that she wanted to split with Goonther but he was too shy.

I think it's a leg. The tibia has a really wide top part and the fibula is really thin. The ankle here'd be encased in rock or have some weirdo disease.

I was thinking it was a leg too. It looks like one from the front. I'm guessing the flat part on the bottom is either supposed to be incased in rock, like you said, or just the modeler got lazy because nobody was going to try to really look at it from behind.

The bottom of the bones had a whiteish thing covering it, it looked to me like the handfoot was attached to the armleg by wrapping cloth around both of them or something, rather than that the joint was actually bent that far.

A little bit of Falconer trivia: In the original non-Scholar version of the game, they were almost entirely cut from the game. They only made a very brief appearance in NG+. Either as a result or cause of their almost-removal from the game, their animation work is a bit... wonky. That run was one example, but they also have one attack animation that is weird, which we haven't seen yet. For whatever reason they decided to throw them in the first playthrough of Scholar, and considerably increase their numbers as well.

The falconers also have a certain attack that they don't show in NG at all, only in NG+ or at least that has been my experience.

The rest of the Souls series and BBorne don't have anything like that, but I think with this game enemies like that kind of add into the game in a strange way. Makes it feel like they just did things without thinking them through completely, which again would normally make me iffy but here it makes it stand out as something of a work of passion in some way. I'm just rambling though so don't make it an legitimate argument of quality V  V

Yeah, I would hate the Shaded Woods a lot more, but honestly you can get through the foggy area in about 20-30 seconds just by hugging the left wall. You won't even run into anybody except Vengarl. If they hadn't told Geop to go look for an item, he'd have hit the entrance in just a couple of seconds. I do like coming back later once I've done certain things for revenge, which I hope the other commentators will advise Geop to do when he gets there.

I just glanced at a walkthrough and it doesn't appear that Geop missed anything noteworthy in the fog area (some soul items, some consumable items that can be bought/farmed from enemies), am I forgetting anything?

Vengarl is one of my favorite Souls npcs, and a strong example of the latent Buddhism that runs through DS2. Shaded Woods feels like a missed opportunity on the whole though

I'm not a huge fan of some deliveries, even if they have the intended effect. Like for example I dislike how the Emerald Herald sounds so flat all the time. I'm sure she's intended to sound a bit distant and odd, but in my ears the effect sounds like a voice actor who REALLY phoned it in.
