DS3 will be a procedurally generated roguelike. Sometimes the first boss is the Asylum Demon, sometimes it's Bed of Chaos. The real RNG starts here :darksouls:

In other words, are they exclusive content?

How viable are miracles as your only school of magic now? They were kind of crap in Dark Souls because the miracles weren't great; I'd like to know if they made miracles (especially offensive ones that don't rely on getting a high covenant rank) good enough to use like sorcery.

Miracles so far have been overpowered as poo poo for me unless I happen to be fighting a Minotaur in the Shaded Ruins. gently caress those assholes. What do you even do about them as a Cleric.

Is there a weapon like the Black Witch's Staff that lets you cast All Magic Ever but before, like, the endgame?

No. He's not invading. That's how it should work at least.

By the way, another question: Is there any viable equipment or progression for somebody who wants to do All Magic, Ever?

I know the Black Witch's Staff can cast all non-pyromancy magic, and then you get a pyromancy glove to go with it and you're good to go, but that staff is pretty close to endgame. Was wondering if there was any earlier equipment that could also suffice, or should I just use miracles or something till I can get the staff?

I really dont think it's a wonderful boss design choice to have such a small area of maneuvering and walking for the final boss of the Iron Keep. At least he's kinda predictable in his actions.

Is the zweihander handy to keep around for long? or is there another mega-sword I should look forward to/invest in?

As a magic user, I just felt bad for him.

I bought the cat ring because I'm SL75 and had heaps of souls from said wandering around and went down into the rat cave for a bit but got sick of Ratbro's summoning me.

Talk to the miracles lady either in Majula or Heide's Tower of Flame to get her to move to Majula and then pay her to move the contraption in that room a bit before the Tower of Flame.

So what're the good DEX weapons? It feels weird, but I'm just tearing poo poo up with the Mace right now as usual. But this is a DEX run and a DEX run it shall be, drat it. Katanas don't seem super good, and the Heike flame sword is pretty boring.

That said, DS2 is longer and has more stats than DS1 so is totally expected that you'll go over SL120. I think 150 is a better PvP stopping point, but somebody will probably tell me I'm wrong.

So after that wasted 10 minutes or so (on the up, at least the hosts died fast!) I decided to try my luck over at Smelter, and Co-op there has been much more helpful - I'm getting about 2/3rds success in hosts not getting themselves murdered by the boss before I can gently caress him up with lightning spears and emit force. But I'm at just over 700k SM, and I'm worried I'm going to levelout of the bracket for Smelter,with him not being one of the Big Four.

So, any tips on where I should hang out my sign for best results?

I've dropped my sign outside Freja's (it is a J, not a Y you guys) and had a pretty consistent stream of hits. I think the big thing about that boss is that a lot of people ascetic it for the Moonlight Greatsword/Crystal Soul Spear so people just looking for easy coop souls learn to avoid it.

Wait why would you ascetic that fight for the MLGS instead of the congregation? I'm pretty sure the bonfire that is linked to Freya is passed them as well.
