GODDAMIT f*** THE SHADED WOODS!!! THOSE GHOSTS CAN STICK THEIR DICK IN THEIR OWN ECTOPLASM AND JERK OFF A REINDEER WEARING A MR PEANUT HAT.
 
I actually had someone invite to chat with me while we fought the old iron king. It's a good thing I didn't want to look for my headset because I was playing like a drunk and walked right off the platform within ten seconds.
 
Think will start to upgrade intelligence also, need some more magic resistance. Around 70 % weight and moves very quick for using heavy armor (upgraded vitality). Starting to think I should join a covenant, but have yet to decide between Way of the blue or Heirs of the sun.

I'm Heirs of the Sun. I keep getting pulled into PvP in the first area of Pharos Doors, just past the bonfire. I'm not sure how I'm getting pulled in, but it only started when I joined that covenant.

Ah gets pulled in by the rat king covenant, the once that joined the rat king covenant can pull players in at least at two locations as I have noticed: one is Door of Pharos and the other is the grave of saints.
I think I will join Heirs of Sun since I read that the rewards are very useful.

Ah. Interesting. I might join that Covenant for a bit of fun so.

Yeah, the Heirs get a Sun Sword with twenty token offerings that scales A with dex and A with str :eek:

Me wants that....

If I leave the Heirs, are my token offerings kept if I join back? If I'd offered 5 tokens, left to join the Rat King, and came back, so I still have the previous 5 offerings in my favor?

Yep. Both the Sun Sword and Sun Spear are great at rank 2 and 3 of that Covenant. The sun sword has to be leveled up to around +6 to start seeing it as a good weapon though, but its made even better by infusion. I honestly thought the sword would be infused from the start with either fire or lightning, but that's not the case unfortunately.

Well I did read that you do not lose progress if you join another covenant, but have yet to test this myself.

Also don`t seem to be a sin either to change covenant (if I remember correct was a sin in Dark souls 1 to chance ?)

Nice think I will upgrade intelligence some and then add fire to the sun sword after I get it, sow can dual wield one fire and one light sword.

Sweet. I'll have no problem changing so. Yes, it was a sin in DS1 to change convents. There is no restriction at all in DS2 (a nice improvement in my opinion).

I was reading about the Sun Sword... apparently it doesn't scale well with infusion.

I don't know. I got mine to +10 and infused it with fire damage on my cleric, and it was hitting pretty hard. Depends on how high your INT and FTH is. Raw infusion might be a good option as well depending on how high your STR is.
 
Yeah think I go for raw, have a strenght of 40, my intelligence is rather low (5) and faith is around 23-24

INT 3 (lol) and Faith 8.

Dex 45, Str 45... so raw might be the way to go for the sun sword alright.

I'm actually thinking of using a respec and boosting my magic a bit at the expense of of my dex and str.
 
I keep saying to myself "I get pissed off too bad playing this, I am going to skip a week and come back". That doesn't last, I keep playing it even though I scream and curse at the screen for the most part. DS2 has made me alot madder than the first. Things are a little more "cheap" in DS2 in my opinion. Anyway, I am at the EArthen Peak looking for the lightning spear miracle....it would be nice to double my count. I am having trouble finding it though.


i was thrilled to join the Sunbro Covenant. i am finally home. Solaire would be proud

Very little in this game enrages me surprisingly. I saunter through the world at a leisurely place and only try to engage enemies one on one. The one boss that really got on my nerves so far was The Persuer. It took me ages to beat him. I don't think its any cheaper than DS1 to be honest.

Have you come across Mild Mannered Pate yet ? once you open his door from the other side you drop down to the left ( I think it is) in to a pillared area and it is in a chest.
 
i haven't found him yet.


Hmmm...When you go across the first bridge you turn right, follow that down and you should come to a room with a big wooden floor( is actually a lift) go up the small ladder and Pate is in the first doorway on the right.
 
thanks, i am sure i have been right on top of what i am looking for the whole time. I used my 2nd Soul vessel last night and changed my build up. I boosted up my vigor and end some more.
 
Just realized I need the Old Firekeepers in order to respec with the soul vessel. I killed them for Effigies awhile back. Is it possible to resurrect them from a gravestone ? Not a big deal if I can't as I'm quite happy with my build.

you slaughtered some old ladies? all they wanted to do was make a damn quilt. Serves you right :)

Hey... I needed Effigies, and I got 10 from them. So do you know if they can resurrected?
If their graves are there, I'm gonna dance on them as well :banana: That'll teach them for helping an undead!
 
The one DLC I would buy without question for this game would be a co-op dungeon (or multiple dungeon). Something that would be almost impossible to complete solo, and even with 2 other people often result in death. I like co-op, but for the majority of the content either the host or boss dies withing 30 seconds, and non-boss areas become fairly trivial with 1 or 2 others.

I'd love to see a covenant like pilgrims of the dark (which as three separate single player challenges) but geared for three man teams.

Yeah, if they could work in some co op specific DLC, I'd be all over it. This game is a great swan song for my 360!
 
Iron Keep is awesome for farming souls. I just lost 30,000 of them and ain't even mad :D Is there only one bonfire in Iron Keep ( Belfry Sol excluded) ?
