Anyone dealing with some serious tearing of graphics in the game? Every time I move my camera I'm getting seasick.

Need help.
Is there any pattern to the Crystal Sages teleports? Do the crystals he leaves behind when warping give some indication or what?

Also there's a stat on my character called "hollowing" and its at 99.
What does this mean and what do I do about it.

Not that I'm aware of. I just rushed him down as quickly as I could. The longer he stays *up* the harder the fight is.

EDIT: Covenant stuff: Blue Sentinels still doesn't ever proc a counter-invade! I've had the covenant since I found it and not one counter-invade in 3 hours.

Killed the "first" (I might have missed an optional one?) 6 bosses so far; having a loving blast. 5th boss: Deacons of the Deep fight is probably my favorite so far; they made a horde boss actually cool and good and subverted the "play defensively, forever" strategy that works for 99% of Dark Souls.

Finally hit a boss that's throwing up a wall for me: The Dual Weilding Pontiff guy. So fast, and I can't find many openings, and then P2 starts and it's just over. :darksouls:

I can't wait until the majority of the thread gets to The Pontiff fight. If you're doing a no-summons run like me, it is an absolute nightmare.

Also (much later on), The double dragons at the entrance to the castle got an actual laugh out of me! "One dragon wasn't enough? Fuckit, add more dragon."

All done! 19 hours on my first blind character, no boss summoning. Ending stuff: I did the link the fire ending, though I suspect I was close to another ending if I gave the fire keeper her eyes? Dunno, time to do some reading!

Estoc + fast shields for parrying or emergency blocks carried me all the way through. Estoc club for life.

Hardest boss for me was The loving pontiff. Nothing quite lived up to that fight as a solo player. I have a feeling I'd have an entirely different list with summon help, though; I could see Twin Princes being harder rather than easier with help, for example.

Pretty sure I hosed up every single questline along the way, too, so looking forward to figuring out where I went wrong.
