.Not all the NPCs have graves. Eh, From has gone Soft.
Gamefaqs still making claims without testing still? Seems legit.This guy:

thinks you should put Adaptability up to 35. Mine is at 10 - I made it that way just to get it out of single digits
I was waiting until the verdict was truly in on this stat before I put much in. Lately I have been going bow crazy, trying it on even enemies up close for fun and I feel like high Adaptability would probably benefit that playstyle. Right now I think I got mine to ten and then stopped; I had the same mindset as you hahah get it to double digits then stop.This guy:

They have both the Cat Ring and they now have Cat pants or whatever they are called that also decrease fall damage if you are overly worried of that. Plus with the Ring of Binding you will never be stuck at 50% health anyway.
If I recall correctly you come at that ledge from the other side. I am not 100% though. I just remember wandering around and thinking I was coming somewhere new and I ended at a ledge in the middle of the well that had nothing there haha
So it sounds like to me this is just a booster for bad players. I'm at cove now without needing any ADP to get through the game, because with correct timing I've been able to dodge any attack with proper positioning. Estus consumption isn't an issue if you're not getting hit and learning to not freak out when you're low while engaged and just bait an attack to give you time to drink is key.This guy:

I wouldn't say that at all myself. First it makes you sound awfully elitist. Though the irony is ridiculous then as your Occupation on CAG here is listed as 'Elitist' hah.
I actually met a duelist once that used double crossbows in a power stance. I actually let him live longer than he was supposed so I could see his technique. It was pretty neat. I could easily see it working when your invading someone and using mobs to your advantage.
What I mean is ADP adds speed bonuses and lessens handicaps, such as giving more leeway on roll timing. Quite honestly, the stat shouldn't exist if they were going for a level playing field. Then again, it's all pure speculation on my part with the information given but if true it would seem to me that ADP of some level would be required in every PvP build. And that to me is bad design.
In response to the spoilerSo I tried to see if Manscorpion had a grave so I could revive him, but he didn't.
I do have a tip for another friendly NPC I found that I almost killed while also in the Shaded Woods ruin area. If you played the original Dark Souls and are that far into the game, I would suggest reading this as the NPC looks like an enemy from that game.
If you drop down the hole that has the basilisks (frogs), there's a door you can use the Fang Key (dropped by one of the lion enemies that's petrified) on. Inside, there's a harpy. I attacked it since it looked just like an enemy from the original game, but then I noticed I could talk to it. So I stepped back a bit to stop aggro-ing it, then talked to it. She thanked me for freeing her and told me to meet her at her house for a reward later. So yeah, don't attack after opening that door.
Also, I saw some guy on a throne on the other side of the cave. I couldn't get to him, but I wonder if I walk around elsewhere if I can get up there.
Its been an established rule since Demon's Souls for dueling. For invasions or rat/bell summoning..whatever, anything goes.
More often than not, people heal(from what I've seen anyway). Only way it's really going to work is if From disables the use of flasks in pvp.
The only thing concrete for ADP is that it raises resistance, poise, and agility. Its agility where all the debate comes from and the only thing confirmed so far is increased animation speed of consuming items. Shield raise speed and major increase in iframes when rolling were already disproved. The only thing left in the air is whether i-frames increase when agility is near the cap which is the hardest to test for.
kI use those in invasions, but not for duels. If a player has to down a Sunny-D in a duel, then it tells me that build is flawed. Not to mention, they would be dead right after finishing it.
I had the same problem. I suppose if you had a lot of levels into Vigor you might be able to be a little more hollow. My problem was beyond that not realizing you need a running jump at one point (until I saw a note about it - but there are so many trolling "jump" notes I'm always skeptical of them). I thought another platform was more directly below me and closer but apparently it was further down. I also saw some item on a lower platform that I had to pass up - will have to try to get back there during cleanup.Backlash said:

I also did this part last night. You can hear her making bird noises as you approach the door (and get attacked by the frog things). I just cautiously went in and waited to see if she attacked and when she didn't I approached to talk. Like with most things in these games, it is never good to rush in flailing your swordKameleon said:So I tried to see if Manscorpion had a grave so I could revive him, but he didn't.

. Now I need to see where she goes afterwards. The area past that is full of curse traps and lion warriors and some giant lizard thing. I killed off a few of the warriors and collected some treasure but then backed off and quit for the night.Maybe it is glitched in DS2, but like I said the bar just went away and I didn't die, didn't return to the bonfire, and didn't have my health reduced to half. I'll have to check next time I play but I don't think it did anything.
I doubt it, because I think fall damage is still percentage-based, just like in the first one. It's really the only way to fairly account for different levels of HP. However, apparently it's a percent of human max HP, not current max HP.
I'm pretty sure there's one place where you have to jump all the way across the "cylinder" of the pit to get to the next ledge. I did that by running along the ledge I was on and jumping at the end. At least when I didn't do so I died trying to fall straight down as the ledge there was lower than the one I jumped to. I think there was an item further down (as you can go below the ledge that leads to the rat area).Backlash said:
. I also know there were some doors and such in the rat area I couldn't get through before. I'm not sure what, if anything, opens those. I'm hesitant to go in there, though, because I don't want to deal with the PvP BS. I suppose I could just rejoin the rat covenant for a bit. Does the cat in Majula let you switch at will, or do you have to visit the leaders to rejoin?Whaaa? You got to a much further/advanced area than you should have. As for spoilers, people have been talking about the rat stuff pretty non-stop in here so I sort of assumed with that being an early-game place everyone would know about it. I thought that came before the Gutter. At least that's how I progressed (rat place, which leads to the Gutter) - but that could be the difference between jumping or not jumping in that spot I talked about. Maybe if you fall further and miss that ledge, you get to the Gutter first. Though again that just points to the good design of this game - you can approach it any number of different ways. I don't think you can back-track from the Gutter to the other place though - I think you'll have to approach it through the hole again, unfortunately. Look for a rock ledge - that is your target. If you are at the ladder that leads to the locked door, you are too far down.Backlash said:
I posted this on the DkS2 thread in the deals forum, but I'm just wondering if anyone here has had a similar experience.
I can only comment on two PvP experiences in Belfry where the guy had a shield on his back doing 2H against me. I think this still holds but cannot guarantee it as it was several days ago. I'm pretty sure I had a backstab on one of the guys and I didn't do that normal backstab cinema and he took minimal damage. My gripe with PvP at the moment is that stupid lightning spear only needs to be in the same area code at me to damage me.
Shields do not offer additional protection against backstabs when two-handing, never has. There is a ring that ignores extra backstab damage in NG+ though.
). Looks like ring of blades does not add anything to it since it's pure magic damage, so I swapped it for the second dragon ring (this ring is OP IMO). Also rocking havel's greatshield and laughing off all blocked attacks now. Finally at the point where I can start experimenting and having fun with my build.
Amazon got more in stock earlier today. supposedly they have 748 currently.
I'm not sure what you even mean by the "bottom of the Exile cells".evilw0n said:
Ya, once you find the soldier's key from killing the boss there's another door that a lot of people probably miss going back to due to the shortcut through the wall at the second bonfire. Climb down the ladder and follow the original path to the left into the next room with the torch holder and the soldier playing dead (where there was a fog gate) and there is a door there that leads to another small area and the 3rd bonfire.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. 1 INT, 2 ATN, and 8 FAITH. So no spells, not even pyro. I'll probably just make a spellcaster on my second play-through. Honestly, I did spellcaster for Demon's and Dark Souls for my first play-throughs, and it seems like easy mode compared to just sword and board. So I'm trying to stick to a fighter for my first run this time. With so many stats to upgrade, it is kind of freeing not to worry about raising those 3, at least.
Yeah I played as a spellcaster on my later playthroughs in both and it does have a much easier feeling to the game, though in the beginning it is more tough I feel if you are dedicated to just like a dagger after spells run out. With the new hexes and stuff too though it sounds super fun to run around casting spells.
I noticed that about the healing others when I summoned someone to fight the Medusa thing. Do all healing spells have the radial effect like that now? I have not looked into the spells at all.
Yes, you can invade one another. But you don't have to be in that area to get summoned. You can just wait by the bonfire or do your own thing while waiting to get summoned.
That is great to know thanks. Also makes being a super helpful spellcaster summon that much more easy too haha
Story
? . Its odd how From Software long ago said they were two different areas, yet purposely made a few areas of Londran the same architecture as Drangelic and other references . They had to keep it open though, stating that Nashandra is a small piece of Manus since his soul is scattered into fragments.I was talking about the boss for 1 v 3 (me by myself fighting three gargoyles at a time).
