That secret room just after

Pontiff Sulyvahn with the two demon dogs is a pain. Can't summon people either because it's gank squad central with Aldritch cúnts.

If you kill

one out in the watery area before distant manner bonfire there's only one of them down there then. A lot easier to take on when there isn't two of them, just keep rolling to their tail end.

PvP is really frustrating me. I'm terrible at it but even at that I only get one decent match out of every ten. It's either a host with a load summons or terrible connection and sometimes both.

You gotta play dirty as an invader. Use the environment to your advantage and don't be afraid to retreat into mobs. Also invade in areas that play to your strengths. For example i have a miracle called Force that knocks people back and to the ground, so your damn right im going to fight in an area that has alot of deathly drops. If you have an archer type character, or a mage invade in areas like the swamp where you can use that range to your advantage. Quickstep weapons are also really good for swamp invasions as the quickstep itself isn't hindered at all.

If you are a pure melee build maybe come with more than one weapon with different move sets to mix it up for the enemy. Kick is also really good if the enemy is blocking alot, kick the shield and you can walk right up to them for a backstab right in the face.

Connections have been mostly fine for me, the odd few dodgy ones

Ah now I think of it

I actually killed the other one too but he killed me as he went down so I didn't realise.

The connections do seem to be getting a bit better. It might just be a case low local player count for early afternoon on a Monday.

Personally I'd rather a duel instead of being ganked or leading into enemy mobs.

It's a bit annoying that you don't get any rewards from defeating dark phantoms in your game.

Had a nice run there ganking invaders, phantom i summoned invited me to party chat I sit out in the open he hides on the covenant ladder for stabby stabby

Well if a duel is what you want, kill the Slug outside Rosaria's bedchamber for a Red Sign Soap stone. You will have to check on Reddit for community designated dueling areas. Sure you could get summoned anywhere for a duel but there is a high chance in some zones. I know Farrons keep Bonfire is a high traffic area, back up the ladder towards the Forest. SL 120 also seems to be the "meta" level.

Also agree about killing Reds in your own world. After like 15 minutes of us fighting each other and running out of estus you finally kill a guy and think, ok ill just head back to the bonfire and start again. :mad:

Been having that bug all afternoon where phantoms are incincible whether they invade or are summoned and if you are summoned you're also invincible. Also if a summoning fails none of the online items will work and when I try to travel to a different bonfire game gets stuck on the loading screen and I have to dashboard.

Could be something to do with people you are trying to connect with being on the new version ? I haven't been offered it yet.

Been happening on and off since launch, seen it mentioned on reddit a few times too.

Little non spoiler help required in cathedral of the deep.

I've reached a big double doors that I could just about push open. Looks like a boss room, some sort of bee thing (???) Lieing at the end of the room.

I've 21000 souls. Is there a bonfire anywhere in cathedral of the deep before this point? Had to kill a lot to fight my way to here.

Have you found the one in the chape near the graveyardl? that's kind of the hub for there, you just need to find the 2 or 3 shortcuts back to it. Look for

elevators

Uggghhhh only now do I see that Firelink is at the bottom of each and eveyr tab on the fast travel screen, I've tabbing left to get to it this entire time

I don't think so. The other path that would lead to that room from the other side is caved in.

Don't think so, you don't even get the option to open it do you?

Looking to clean up before I move on , whats's the trigger for the

dancer

fight besides agro to the npc

Zero-Cool

I must have circled Farron's Keep 10 times, only found 2 flames to extinguish. Not so bad though as looted the shyte out of the place. Gave up, backtracked and found the cathederal. Game has such a class layout.

froog

getting destroyed by the watchers.

figured out i can cheese the first part just running about until the other guy kills him but getting smashed in part two

Digital Solitude

Lotric Castle is absolute bull****

It's literally healing after every hit, 2-3 hits and I'm dead.

Evade

I created a new character and I'm doing a little seal clubbing and grinding the Mound-Makers covenant in the Undead settlement. I feel a little guilty.

qwertee have more souls tshirts....... yeah I need another one :pac:

Looks like a good time to use the €5 off codes they have been spamming me

Edit: Have an unused code that doesn't specify an expire date if any one wants it.

Was getting so stressed by the ballista in

Smouldering Lake

I opted to 'seek shelter'... by passing through the fog gate :pac:

Happy I did, as defeated the boss first time!

Have felt particularly reluctant to deal with mimics in this game so far, as frankly they keep kicking my ass. However, I have now discovered a little something called

Pestilent Mercury

Definitely. He was the first boss that took me more than two goes. I spent about 3 hours trying to beat him Friday evening. In the end I went to a different area for a while, came back and summoned someone. Right pain in the ass.

Ya I did something similar. I'd already found another area previously so I finished off exploring that until I got to the next area and then went back to Lothric and beat the

2nd

boss there. Leveled up a bit and went back to Pontiff.

Once I finally got my dodges in I was in a pretty decent position to beat him, then I saw his second phase and I just assumed i'd be here a long time. Surprisingly I think I beat him within 2 fights of that. Anyway I absolutely loved that fight. Your concentration just has to be so high!

And now I've 3 different places I can check out next.

the

arrow

attack

I had to summon help for it in the end and of all the people I could get I get a guy using a character named

Ornstein

using his armor and weapon

Theres a real throwback to DS1 after that one too, where you can use the

black orb to invade and kill a NPC

Yeah he started

spamming the arrow attack at the end on my last try, didnt use it the whole fight then like 5-6 times in a row, i spammed the estus to counter the few hits i took, he had like an inch of health left at this point INTENSE
