I've been playing this game all night and I just beat my first lord of cinder. Every time I play I find so much more space to explore, it's unreal.

I was afraid that I wasn't going to see Patches again in order to give Siegward his armor back since I couldn't find him after he locked me in the bell tower but I found him while I was moping around firelink lmao. The last thing I wanted was a repeat of when I accidentally broke Eileen's questline in bb.

completing siegward's questline is Very Important, in my opinion

Tfw you're fatrolling through a poison swamp and just before a Giant Enemy Crab gets to you it gets impaled by your giant bro from 2 levels earlier.

lmao, there's people in the game thread repeatedly posting information about NPC quests to people asking questions and I know for a fact they're ridiculously wrong about almost every one.

a storm is coming...

I'm getting pretty close to the end of the game I think. I'm feeling a little bit sad at how kinda small some of these later areas are but then I realized they're basically normal size, and it's just that the early areas in 3 are fuckhuge.

I think I have 3 main story bosses and 2 optional bosses left.

Been wondering if I should go ahead and slab my main weapon or not. I dunno if I'm ready for the prime time of top tier invaders that will come my way once I do so.

It's less about who can invade you and more about who you can invade imo

I read the same thing in several different places about NG+ and then I found out all they changed was the rings and soul items are upgraded versions early on. Really disappointing

Seed of giant + dried knuckle + way of blue in zones with defender covenants is good stuff. It's a huge six phantom clusterfuck with hosts/white/gold/blues phantoms vs. defender/red phantoms vs. purple phantoms vs. all enemies in the environment.
Seeds of giants regenerate on the tree giant in firelink every time you get invaded btw

Farron Greatsword, Sellsword Twinblades, or just any ol' straight sword that has Slash/Thrust moveset.
