The only weapon/armor choice you need for Iron Golem:

IRON TARKUS

When you are facing the boss fog, there's a bridge to your right. Go across it and into the room over there. To the left is a summon sign for an NPC. In NG - he can basically solo that boss himself. If you want to run in and get a hit or two to feel like you're contributing, feel free. :v:

I didn't have any humanity to use at that point, so I had to fight the Golem without Iron Tarkus. Please forgive me.

Also, are you supposed to be able to beat the Iron Golem by knocking him off the platform? I had him down to half-health or so and he stumbled back off the ledge and the fight was just over.

Yeah Iron Golem falling off the platform is a thing.

Everyone is excited because that helmet never had the little feathery frilly things on top of it. Now that it does its a choice piece of fashionable gear. P.S. that hat will soon look familiar to you :)

Heads up for SteamFriends: The patch is going to be a full 7.7GB, so this is also our pre-load for DLC2. I have the Season Pass, so someone that doesn't have it might have a smaller download? This also means that data mining will be starting like now. Be wary of spoilers , skeleton...

Daggers are indeed stronger (roughly +5-10 base damage to most of them), heavy armor is LIGHTER and more defensive (Lothric Knight Armor is about +1.0-2.0 to all resists and weighs 0.7 less). Bizarrely, ultra weapons seem to swing significantly SLOWER now.
Executioner's Greatsword leeches 6 FP a kill now. Perseverance lasts a hefty 3 seconds. Poison deals a more respectable 7-8 HP/s and relevant weapons deal about a base 36 buildup. Toxic deals a whopping 19 HP/s! Bleed weapons only have base 30, generally. Frost weapons now have a 45-55 base frostbite buildup :eyepop:

Glad to hear about the frost buff. I did a lot of frost stuff in my last playthrough, and it seemed pretty weedy compared to bleed or poison. It doesn't really do much damage on it's own, and the Defense Reduction didn't seem have much effect (at least not during PvE).

I believe everyone needs to download it. From does this instead of compatibility packs.

Remember vanilla players can still get invaded by invaders wielding DLC weaponry.

It seems like the fugs is swinging faster and leaves enough stamina after a 3 hit combo for a roll. I like this.

By the word of Zoroaster, no business decision is poor when it involves Ahura Mazda.

Yeah curved greatswords got a slight speed buff (especially the two-handed R2, it seems), but it's interesting how ultra greatswords are almost as fast now! In return ultra greatswords need more stamina and have a slower follow up swing, so it seems really well balanced. I got a ~20 damage buff for my refined carthus curved greatsword, but apparently the Exile got up to 100 additional damage for strength builds!

So awhile back I was joking the DLC should add a paired greatshield... found out like two weeks ago it totally is going to be in. The other day I was whining that there's no paired greatsword. Well hell yes.

I'm so excited for this DLC.

Whole shitload of spoilers came out today. This one's the big one for me.

A new invasion covenant, which gets a blessing of some sort upon summon, whose goal is apparently to keep you from finishing the DLC.

In fact, it's doubled-down by the fact that said invasion covenant gets special items for use online against folks trying to beat the drat thing. Yikes!

The hype is real. DLC release date is too far off still.

Going though reddit I've seen that a whole lot of weapons have had their base AR modified and certain weapons that used to have better quality scaling now scale better with heavy for example. I'm expecting nerfs as the meta gets changed around but I'm loving the fact that you don't need to pump in a ton of VIT anymore.

The little ember symbol next to bonfire names is cool. The number of embers seems to vary with the number of hosts, too, which is a nice improvement on DS2.

The spell doesn't scale with anything, so you might as well go with the chime that has a faster casting speed.

Me too! Apparently the upgraded Dorhys Gnawing version does scale, the wiki says you should use Sunless Talisman or Caitha's Chime, since they do slightly more damage. The bleeding still doesn't scale though, so if that's what you care about then the Bellvine is still better.

Not according to the Wiki. It says the bleed is unaffected by anything, including luck, your catalyst, or your faith.
