    apparently I miss out on a side quest now?
    another opportunity to use that gif of Dougal :(

    Yup, and his quest seems to be the only way to get one of the sorceries I need :(

    His constant
    invasions
    are a nice touch though, a nice little bit of attention to detail.

    Did anyone else play the network test? It was way harder than what we got in the full game.

    I didn't, but from what I understand it was tuned to NG+ on at least one of the tests. That would explain the harder difficulty.

    I haven't been
    invaded
    yet but it seems his questline was the only way to get

    Back playing yesterday after a weekend away at home. The
    Smelter Demon
    surely should've been the final boss in the Iron Keep as opposed to
    the Iron King
    ? He was a piece of p*ss in comparison!

    Also, did the patch remove the humanity recovery via summoning? Haven't seen any patch notes?

    Another also, there is no primal bonfire after you beat
    the Rotten
    is there? At least I couldn't find one!

    There is, look around the chamber, there should be a passage leading off.

    Balls. Is there any need to light it, or is it just a handy way out? I just homeward boned rather than face all those statues!

    Vintage Dark Souls II, and what you've got to love and hate about the game - a single, seemingly innocuous decision permanently (or at least until NG+) erasing your capability to access items you want! Should have heeded those odd, NPC warning signs :pac:

    Yeah you need to light it. If you have the second bonfire in the area lit it should be really easy to get back there?

    Finally killed
    Ancient Dragon
    ! Ferociously tough boss. I know there's a 'cheap' way of fighting him but I avoided it for the most part. The reward is disproportionate to the fight, haha.

    Only have abyss to do and I'm pretty much finished everything and ready to NG+.

    What! Did not know this at all.

    I'm guessing that a lot of people don't either since I haven't heard anyone speak in over 20 or so summons.

    Voice Chat is set to off by default, you have to enable it in the menu.

    Just saw that if you go offline and then head to the death counter in Majula, it shows how many times YOU have died and not everyone world wide. Must check it out after clearing it. I am on Undead Crypt at the moment, can anyone tell me does the end game just finish or can you continue exploring without going to NG+? Would like to keep a save file for when DLC gets released.

    You can keep going on and choose when you want to start NG+.
