i eventually learned to parry but it wasn't until i was ballz deep in a NG+, and it was really more for my own satisfaction than anything else

[riley-o]

shop smart, shop s-mart !

Goatus- what's that glitches entail?

You can transfer items from one character to a new character. You fill up your character slots and use a bottomless box to shift it over. Hard to explain but super easy to do.



Be careful about covenant items, if you transfer them over and your new character has it in his inventory when you join the covenant, for example Darkmoon and the darkmoon items, then when you try to join it you wont get the covenant rewards even if you complete whatever tasks you're supposed to complete. I think I read something about leveling down your covenant rank before doing this too.

Are you on the ps3 or 360 right now?

Finally back at this effective today. I figure I have between now and when the ME3 extended cut DLC comes out to platinum this sumbitch. Took me about an hour to wrap my brain around the controls and the general rhythm of the combat again (TW2 is just similar enough to make things confusing), only to a) find zero summon signs outside Seath's lair and b) promptly get slaughtered in the Demon Ruins because apparently I don't know how to fight a fucking minor capra demon anymore. I hate what they've done there with the active radius of the demons, too - it makes sense, of course, but it also makes it harder.

[Spooky Apparition]

the souls signs for the seath fight are usually by the third duke's archives bonfire, not outside seath's lair. COME ON NEW GUY

[spacehamster]

Didn't see any there either. I'll try again later, prolly gonna be more people online then.

[spacehamster]

3 Humanity isn't a lot, you'll make that back in no time.

Anyway, I've been sitting around the campfire at the back of the archives trying to summon... so far I've had ONE summoning that didn't fail, and that dude then basically ran around Seath in circles, doing literally NO damage, and died before I got the tail off. Ten more failed summonings (and an amazig lag teleportation backstab death to an invader) later, I said fuck it and went to take out the Centipede Demon instead. Still not my favorite bossfight, but once I remembered not to target him, he went down like a bitch.

So yeah.

[The Schwartz]

well I just got fucking cursed in my first seath pre fight and now I'm stuck in the archives with half health and no purging stone with no way to warp out

SO YOUR PROBLEMS DONT SEEM LIKE PROBLEMS TO ME

[riley-o]

remember when you taunted me mercilessly for getting cursed in the first seath fight

just curious if you remember that

because i do

[The Schwartz]

Karmic justiced

[riley-o]

seriously though when you fight him again remember that you can run out of his curse-spike area

which is to say remember that you can run

[spacehamster]

So basically what you're saying is, you went into the Seath fight with no warping, and you didn't bring purging stones. And now you somehow expect sympathy?

you can't warp from the bonfire you're sent to after the first seath fight

[riley-o]

I got poisoned by rats. Is it like that?

hahahhhahahaahah

LOL

Yes Riley but I went in there standing accepting my date for the first fight I seem to have forgotten that could happen among other things

[riley-o]

i threw all my fireballs at him in NG+ AND NG++ 'cause we ain't goin out like that

[The Schwartz]

you can't warp from the bonfire you're sent to after the first seath fight

AND you can't even enter the Duke Archives unless you have obtained the ability to warp

who's this fucking new guy?

Oh, hence "pre fight".

Well, have fun with that, Sir Schwartz.

[The Schwartz]

the worst part of it is that I've played enough that I was able to enter the Duke with a mere 14 vitality so my half-life self is in danger of getting one shotted by everyone

[riley-o]

you've gotta go fight the gargoyle twins

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

faggot

[riley-o]

dude you have a LONG way to go before you need to worry about what happens when you get cursed.

SPOILERSPOILER_SHOW

it sucks.

[spacehamster]

Its butt is just as vulnerable as it looks. I didn't believe it either, someone here had to tell me.

[riley-o]

dude you can do it. and when you do you'll truly know what it means to be one of the princes of the universe.

[The Schwartz]

I'd like to get a count on how many people actually beat them solo because I know slinky and a few others princessed theirs
