Ah, well that's cool. The way it read on the info pages made it sound like you decided which tower to defend. Guess I'll come back late.

There's only one bell covenant, so I don't think it really matters. I'd still recommend putting it off for later, though, because the Ruin Sentinels are seriously the hardest boss you'll see in the entire first two thirds of the game and it's an exercise in frustration if you go there right out of the Forest of Giants.

Ah, I'm way past the Forest. I'm basically following the IGN walkthrough. Not so much the actual walkthrough part of it, but at least the general guideline of where to go next. I've been through Wharf, the tower/city, and forest. I'm SL45, I think? Not sure what the recommended is for where I am in Bellfry. I think my SM is a little low for it, though, just based on how few summon signs I'm seeing laid down.

I remember someone here was playing as Jetstream Sam, and if you're the one who summoned Turtle Power in the Wharf, that was me. Wearing the full Ironclad set is rough, but at least I have the first +equip weight ring now. Now to press on to the Iron Keep and trade in the old Ironclad for some fresh ones!

Yeah, SL45 is super low. I put it off until I made it about to the beginning of Iron Keep, which is where you really start getting serious amounts of souls.

Yeah but considering it's usually a one hit kill unless you've sunk a giant heaping of points into vigor its basically the same thing. Going from frantically trying to avoid the flames to yawning while swiping the back legs and taking a hit to the back when he gets pissed is a nice change of pace.

42 strength, so not that bad if you're SL 100 or so. And I really don't know what I'm doing, but I have won most of my ratbro fights. I just try to keep below 70% weight so I can fast roll away from stuff. The nice thing about really heavy weapons is it only takes a couple of hits to connect before you drop someone.

I fooled around with the mouse and keyboard controls a little bit just to see, and apparently there's a bunch of lockon buttons that don't need to be there and A is not E, it's enter. Uh okay. How am I supposed to use the mouse when block is bound to LMB not RMB and half the keys and specific actions are just spewed all over the keyboard, like wtf.

I know, right? I was so disappointed that I farmed out all the dudes I that drop the Llewellyn set without getting the pants. I don't have any matching black pants (can't wear Straid's set because I'm not a sorcerer) and it makes me sad. What I'm wearing looks okay in screenshots, but they're clearly brown in game.

Wear the ring and be in an area where your covenant icon is blinking. Make sure it's not in any of the Belfry's.

I find Dark Souls is a really neat game because I can start a new save after going halfway through the game on one save and try out new things and different weapons or paths and it'll be like a whole different story.

Put the ring on and hang out in Lost Bastille or Iron Keep. Eventually you'll get summoned so often you'll have difficulty taking the ring off.

People may be getting into the Covenant more too, and so you'll see more people invading and fewer invaders. The covenant relies on having people running the Belfries, and as people finish, there will be fewer of them. More would go if you got something for killing invading Bellbros and/or they only came one at a time (or were less likely to come twice)

As much as I hate to give a leg up, I really have to echo the folks saying the cat ring is crucial for Belfry Luna. So much of the pvp in there requires doing the unpredictable, and you need that flexibility when you're baiting someone into a fall or accidentally backstepping slightly too far.

edit: just took a gray invader down to about 10%, the poor guy just resorted to backpedaling furiously and threw an "I'm Sorry" carving. love it.

What are the advantages of dual wielding over 2-handing? To keep it simple, I have a Greatsword (I'm referring to the ultra greatsword named Greatsword).

Does dual wielding a pair of Greatswords with power stance do more damage than simply 2-handing 1 Greatsword?

With Power Stance you physically hit with both weapons. I don't know off-hand if it's more damage per swing/second than two-handing a single weapon, but it does have benefits with regard to stunlocking.

New, faster moveset. Most dual-wielded two-handed attacks either do more damage or hit multiple times. Certainly wrecks bosses, since it staggers them much faster.

I'm pulling this out of my rear end, but I think power-stanceing applies poise damage twice. no clue on damage, although I think it's more.

Genocyber

Power stancing is literally hitting with both weapons, including for status effects and poise damage AFAIK. However it requires much more stamina than 2handing, and 2handed moveset may be better than powerstance moves.

Not to mention the vikings that hurt you by touching you and the spider-men who ignore shields entirely. I better not be doing this for nothing.
