wtf, spend ages whittling down the pursuer only for him to pull an unblockable projectile attack out of his hole I've never seen before.

Did you have someone summoned to help? Theres a good chance they fired that giant crossbow and you got hit by it. I caught one right in the forehead the first time i summoned someone in

Excellent. Any idea what got patched?

Getting turned human for being summoned is gone I think. And they might nerf the 3k repair cost for the Soul protection ring. 3k is too cheap. Should be 6k atleast like the other protection rings.

You get titanite chunks every time you successfully invade, thats my reasoning for joining. get a titanite slab for the first rank up too.

Online not working for me at the moment either

Are there any benefits exploring these areas while not in covenant? I did rang 2 bells so far.

Guys, I just did the iron keep. Is there any other zone from there? I got 3 primal fires up, but no other zones to explore anymore. Unless pharos door place ( I heard it's just a troll place) or I missed a path to some zone?

Not yet. I tried to do it once with a cat ring and still died.

Edit: just tried again and survived. Anxiously needed more health.

And I can see we got a different version of enemies I really god damn hate!

Anyone else failing to install the patch?

Looks like it's installing now.

Got the 503 error and then a 504 error.

You need to do it later on in the game when you have a nice bit of health, which I would say you do by now.

Jus started my FAI/STR build, going well, 1st boss down already, Mace +4.

Anyone who has done a FAI build, could you recommend me a good weapon to aim for?

The public changelog for the patch reads as follows, in Japanese:
エラーコードが表示され召喚サインが書けなくなる現象の修正
Which translates into:
Modification of the phenomenon that summons sign is unable to write error code is displayed

iamanengine

Anyone have trouble putting down summon signs?

tok9

Man this is a serious struggle. Last download crashed and I'm not overly confident about this one.

Tempted to buy MGS if it fails again.

Jebus the approach to the chariot boss is a joke, not sure I could be arsed.

Odd, the patch worked for me 1st try about an hour or 2 ago.

Ok now I wish I'd been a little less reckless with the bonfire aesthetics

A pal has just told me they carry over to NG+ so essentially I will be playing 2 areas as NG++ could have been worse areas I guess, No Mans Wharf was one not sure about the other , I think it shows on fast travel screen so I'll check it in a bit.

The heide sword is pretty good especially early on. I upgraded the zweihander and enchanted it with lightning. It does some pretty good damage in pvp.
You should make use of the respec and try out a few weapons in your current game then respec back again

I wiped all enemies in that area. They were just too yummy for souls. Chariot boss it self got one shoted though...

Guys, how do you get that friendly phantom aura? I think I took the right gift to get it. Something to do with a nest?

And one more question about rat covenant. You use normal signs to get summoned yourself while having ring equipped? Does it work everywhere or only in that cavern?

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain, you just have to inch your way forward and lure the little ****s out one by one. The red phantom casually guarding the fog gate at the end made me verbally exclaim first time I saw him in the distance. And all you get is a creepy covenant for your troubles :pac:

Which aura, the 'disguise' grey phantom or the yellow phantom?

Both? I though it's something to do with dropping stuff in to nest? I dropped,the gift item and did not got aura, though I found same item in game itself too.

I think it can be random what you get.

Requirement to join Blue Sentinels?

it's an optional boss either way. Just run through it and just as you get to the door jump to the ledges at the end if the Bridge and those guys following you will leash back and die from falling as they do...

Use the effigy and summon pate right outside the boss door. There is also a ring that is easy to get from the start that reduces your lost hp as holow by half so you will have 75% instead of 50%

Right I'm just after beating Freja...

What is the blue/purple thing glowing in the ground after?
