I found out why I was delay-rolling so much on Pontiff; if you block an attack, try to dodge, then get attacked again before the roll is executed it'll still hit your shield, but once you're free to move your character will roll. Since he attacks so quickly, he'd hit my shield, I'd try to dodge, he'd hit me again.. and again... and again and suddenly my character rolls, seconds after I pressed the roll button. Because of this I decided my shield was doing more harm than good, so I ditched that jerk and beat Pontiff on my first shieldless attempt. That felt so good I can't even put it into words

There's a mad phantom on the Road of Sacrifices I want to eventually kill. Does it go away if I beat the area boss? Putting this in spoilers just in case.

Finally had my first weird issue. Screen went black while I was walking around the Farron Keep swamp right after I fought the huge crab and picked up the Crown of Dusk. I could still hear the hiss of the swamp poison but the screen was black. Luckily it kept my progress when I closed the program and came back but jeez.

Okay so beating Pontiff shieldless felt good, but walking around embered does not. I was immediately invaded by two people who wrecked my poo poo in seconds. Worst part of this game for me is by far that they hid tons of loot behind NPC invasions that you only get by bring embered. I've missed a ton and I'm going to miss a ton more if the PvP is this unfair

Two unrelated questions: Is there a ring or something that increases the damage done by poison you inflict on enemies? In the Cathedral (Or was it Farron Keep?) area, there was a gate you have to take a side path to get around, that has a couple of lizards and some items, but there's also a golden version of those humpback wizard guys like Yoel right behind the gate. Is there any significance to it, because it didn't seem to do anything or interact in anyway.

Farming some silver knights, I decide to bite on a red phantom sign. Guy takes about 10 minutes to join, I'm getting the better of him then he returns to his world like a bitch before I can finish him off. Guess he couldn't stand being whooped by a man in rags

Why do the Darkmoon and Blue Sentinels have the exact same summoning condition? It just makes it even harder and more tedious to do anything at all in one of those factions.

The Shortest Path posted:Why do the Darkmoon and Blue Sentinels have the exact same summoning condition? It just makes it even harder and more tedious to do anything at all in one of those factions. Not really they have the rewards and same covenant items so people who would already be sentinels just upgrade to darkmoon when they get it, there is no reason to go back and they're functionally the same pool of players. The only difference between the two covenants is as a darkmoon your phantom is a darker blue and if you kill an aldrich faithful they drop a concord well kept, which is the equivalent of two concords

Is it my imagination or is this game nails hard even by souls standards? I battled through DS1 carved through DS2 and now am very much back to battling again. Also do all weapons have the option to kick? I seem to be really struggling to do it. Makes enemies that require a guard break a nightmare but reckon there must be something simple I'm missing.

All the NPCs at firelink are dead or have gone missing except Andre, the firekeeper and the old lady who sells stuff. I have no idea what I did but it was obviously not good.

They're identical factions. I think they have the same covenant turn-in item, too. Speaking of Blue Sentinels, I just put it on for the first time and was immediately summoned. That was a pleasant surprise.

Anyone on PS4 want to co-op some before/after boss stuff? I'm trying to find as many items in each area before moving on as I can. Im currently in the area after the wall and already beat the boss so I can't summon random people. I'm also willing to join and help out for anything. PSN ExCruceLeo

Or make it so they help Way of the Blue and their own faction. They also should let Mound-Makers fight the boss and give a shackle if the boss is defeated. Other than that the factions seem to be working great. I've leveled myself out of the Swamp People and Neo BellBros though In addition to the dead NPCs at firelink I've discovered that Rosalina is also dead but I got a Black Eye Orb to get revenge on her killer. Any hints on where to use it? I'm all the way up to Lothric Castle, do I need to backtrack? axeil fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Apr 16, 2016 |

Hi I would say cleavage seeks out cleavage, also when you get her soul you can transpose it into a cool miracle. You can just leave her dead and the covenant works just fine, I turned in tongues and got a covenant reward with her slumped over dead as hell so I can confirm
