I was able to go back to earlier-game bosses from later on and still be summoned. I think it's not only soul memory at play, but most of the levels can be done in any order so you can find people at wildly various levels going through the same area.

You can always use a Bonfire Ascetic to reset the enemies. There was nothing I really wanted that I could get within 0-1 uses of an ascetic, though I haven't tried to get items from npc phantoms yet.

Man, DS2 on the PC really does look amazing. I just started but I think I'll use this run to try out weapon types I have never used before. So daggers, lances and halberds, and sorcery. I'll probably throw dual cestus too.

I can't believe I got an Old Whip from a regular Small and Silky Stone. Now I feel compelled to level up dex enough to use it.

So, are there no good shields to use as weapons besides the pair? They're so far into the game!

This game looks seriously amazing with that ENB thing. I mean, it looked great already on PC but this takes it up even further. It might be just a little too dark, if anything.

I'm impressed with the ENB, but I might be even more impressed with the cestus. I heard they were good, but they have far surpassed how well I thought they would do. Punching the Skeleton Lords to death was great.

I used Dex weapons in my first playthrough and thought they were absolutely fine. I even used them in pvp and won the vast majority of my matches with them, hell I've doing NG+ with the same character using a PVP weapon and doing amazingly. I really don't see how they are any worse than strength weapons. Also, I think the ENB looks good. It doesn't look nearly as dark for me as it does in that one screenshot I've seen posted here.

Xoidanor posted:I'm starting to see a trend as I play of humanoid bosses all sucking. They're all terrible Well, I mean, The Old Dragonslayer IS supposed to be Ornstein/some sort of copy of Ornstein. Why would they NOT be similar? And I love the bosses on this game on the whole, I think there's a really good variety.

bullshit, most can't handle you literally just walking in circles around them. The worst offender I've seen so far is Old Dragonslayer which is literally just Ornstein copy&pasted with a different color palette. Did the development team run out of money halfway into the game or something?

Does unarmed with Vanquisher's Seal do more damage than dual +10 cestus?

Emerald Herald, the cat, and Saulden all get more dialog throughout the game. Cale and Leningrast get a some more too, Maughlin gets a couple extra lines every time his stock grows.

Gortarius posted:Alright so the giant lord boss is the worst thing in the game thus far. You are forced into that small corner because of the explosions, the lock-on is worthless because it makes you blind to what his attacks are going to be but even when not using it he does these 270 degree homing turns with his sweeps, which is just bullshit to be honest. On top of that there is apparently a time limit. I actually like that boss. I liked that I could, even with just looking at his feet, could time my dodges around his attacks and kill him without getting hit. It felt intuitive.

Does Carhillion ever sell more spells than what he starts out with? If not, where do you get the later game spells?

Which bonfire do you ascetic for Belfry Luna? I thought it would be the one after the Gargoyles, but it seems like it might be connected to Sinner's Rise? Unless the Lost Sinner counts as the boss for the Belfry too.

So, just to make sure, if I spice down Sunlight Spear's requirement is there any reason to go beyond Great Lightning Spear's requirement (42)? I'm not even sure if there are any other miracles about that number.

You know, I don't care what belltowers guys do. Do whatever is necessary to kill the host. Just.... if you see the Mad Warrior there at least give me a chance to kill him first! I suppose that's what I get for trying to get his stuff while online, but still!

Can you get to the forgotten door in The Gutter from the second bonfire? I somehow missed the first bonfire in the area and would like to get to the door without having to go through the well and first half of the gutter again.

Black Gulch and the Shrine are both cool levels. At least I thought so. Then again I think a lot of things in this game are cool so I'm in the minority.

Is there a way to change your character's name? After seeing the Velstadt character a couple pages back makes me want to dome something similar, but not if I can't rename myself. I might have to start a new character I guess.

If I'm going to be using the Defender's Greatsword, is there any reason to keep sunlight blade around? I can't even use it on the sword anyway, and its buff seems as strong as sunlight blade and it doesn't take off that much durability to use it.

Also, there's a much bigger pool of people to invade compared to DS1 so naturally invasions will feel more sparse to individual people.
