Dark Souls II hype

[Surf314]

Beat Boss 1, now I'm a bit unsure where to go next. I have an idea and it involves dodging lots of fire balls.

Try looking around Majula again. There may have been something you missed.

Just got past the sinner's tower, not entirely sure where to go now.

it looks great runs so smoothly, but at the same time i feel theres just something not quite right with the game. I dont feel like the game is harder than dark souls was, just that its trying to force itself too much. Bosses arent particularly hard they just have a lot of health, and i feel i end up dying from a war of attrition rather than being really challenged

Maybe i should start doing summons, and try to get some better gear and come back to the "story" after that.

once you get better gear/start upgrading it's not really a war of attrition, leveling up helps too

I've found upgrading gear helps a lot more than leveling.

Collecting tails in the rat kingdom. Lingering flame x 4 at spawn spot = nice start to a fight. Dirty tactics win the day.

[Surf314]

Fuck the bosses in this game.

[Surf314]

Also I burn an effigy, summon help for pursuer, 5 seconds in asshole hits me with a ballista. I come back and get him to a pixel of health on my own, he spears me and kills me because I rolled into a wall.

Who the fuck decided it was a good idea to have enemies stop respawning after awhile?

The same guy who made the item you can burn in a bonfire to make them respawn at NG+ strength. Good job dying on your way to the next part of the level more than 15 times. :p

Trying to get Royal Swordsman armor+human effigies in Lost Bastille thank you very much.

Being an heir of the sun is pretty sweet, successful boss run means free change back to human, with no real negative

The game is telling you youre not getting better so its got to pull its punches for you.
Stop using a shield its a bad crutch.

You get to change back to human regardless of covenant. Blue sentinel covenant sucks balls btw.
