Things I'm liking so far:

-Interconnectedness of early areas

Umm. Yeah I definitely hosed up. I was thinking the game is very linear so far? Is that why I'm stuck?
Start->Firelink->Lothric->Undead Settlement->Road of Sacrifices->Farron->Catacombs->Irithyll but I dont have the doll. What do?

At this point I feel like a lot will get nerfed very fast. Maybe its just me. I started a couple months ago replaying all the games starting with DeS and was recapping DS2 right up til about 20 mins before the game unlocked yesterday. But man, especially bosses I am just steamrolling, so far the [spoilers]Abyss Watchers[/spoilers] are all that took me more than 2 tries, many one shots.

I meant to touch on the bows especially. Got the long bow first off, and with the arrows readily available from the merchant I can two or three shot most things, especially with the AI as mentioned before

Yay I found Blighttown 3.0. Hopefully it isn't too terrible.

Its a paradise compared to that.

After beating Vordt you are looking right down on where you go next. When you get down there, if you look back to the Lothric part of the bridge thats out with the dead dragon, opposite all those weird humpback things dead on the ground, there is at least one item I can see. I cant figure out how to get over there, obviously has to be while still at Lothric but I feel like I've been everywhere.

Apr 21, 2008

I SAY AGAIN do enemies respawn indefinitely?

Also, when you reach Anor Londo! :D :D it seems the two black knights that come from the top of the steps cant cross over the bridge onto the steps/elevator with the lever, meaning you can stand back and cheese them with ranged attacks. Or thats whats happening on my game anyway

Is there anywhere to reliably farm titanite shards? I want to upgrade the Astora Greatsword to give it a shot but I'm out of shards and I won't be able to buy them for another couple areas.

Yes. I just cant remember where...

So busy admiring myself going down the elevator at the beginning of Lothric Castle because ~fashion souls~ I missed the hidden door before the bottom that yields an estus shard as well as a sniper spot for that loving ouroboros thing

Talk to the guy leaning on the middle throne in Firelink. I think he gives you the key? You need a key to enter a lift in the first area, Lothric, where you go down and fight one of those guys who also appear in the swamp.

I like taking photos irl. One thing I always loved about these games is the way the camera works that makes for some great screenshots. A dump of some goodies I've got so far.




I love that arrows stay longer now




Spoilered in case anyone hasn't made it to this point yet...






I want to ask how you get over to this bonfire but I know it must be after you do whatever you have to do to make the lever work in the church below. Which I can only assume happens later and isn't something I'm missing?


Love those new age bell witches!





Smough's hammer, or "justice" as my buddy calls it, is so comical to see in action. Cant even see whats in front of me sometimes

If you're like me and wanted the sweet katana from the undead bro outside of Firelink, goad him to the altar door and shoot him with arrows. He won't walk in and you can chump him for his sweet gear.

I haven't gotten the kick to work. Just started out as the assassin. Is it because of the weapon I'm using? Forward + R1 does a quick retreat attack which doesn't break guard. Forward + R2 is just a strong jump attack.

I've done most of the Grand Archives and I'm now repeatedly failing trying to get up a very large set of stairs with many peons and also red eye knights including a pack of 3 that is giving me the most trouble

a) this isn't the final boss I'm approaching is it?
b) I wont automatically get skipped to NG+ when I do reach and beat the final boss will I?

One recurring mechanic, if there is an elevator, you can almost surely step out just before reaching bottom to find goodies/secrets

Gonna throw a couple things in here

For heavy 2H builds, after beating Dragonslayer Armour trade his soul for his weapon, upgrade it if you can, it works great against Prince L...I forget the name, just starts with an L thats all I remember

After defeating Dancer and entering Lothric Castle there is an area to the left right after the ladder where you have to kill one of the bigger knights with the bucket helmet and then take an elevator down to a short area, Consumed Kings Garden. When I first went down there I saw a few of those Ouroboros things and said gently caress that, but the area is very short and after the boss there is an illusory wall behind a legit chest leading to a hidden area, Unattended Graves. I only just arrived so I'll comment later on whats there.
Interesting. It appears to be the starting area of the game, just very dark and with different enemies

It's much closer than that. Once you get up to the area with all the fire casters just turn around and there will be a doorway leading to some stuff and the shortcut.

You mean the upper level of the church?
