Where do you get the dark sword? Or is it just a drop off an enemy?

I just got the game. It's not localized in French? That's super weird, as both Dark Souls II and Bloodborne were. Can EuropeGAF tell me if their copy is in French? I'm in Canada.

1. I've been using the Wolf's Greatsword. It's a good weapon, and there are a couple of bosses who are weak to it supposedly. It's up to you but it's definitely not bad. Farron's is a bit more interesting to me imo though. I'd look up movesets and see if they look appealing.
2. Dark sword is special so I would assume it's base is probably notably better than the claymore. It does require special materials to upgrade though, so it's up to you.
3. For sheathes I like the Irithyll straight sword's sheath. It ices and stuff and looks generally awesome :>
4. It doesn't matter if you do it now or later. Nothing changes from what I've noticed.
Great swords are generally good for sweeping attacks and especially against Dea
cons of the Deep.

Butcher Knife worth upgrading? Been mainly using a Claymore+3. Too many cool looking weapons. Titanite Shards seem to be everywhere in this game right?
used a bow to lure one and finished them off separate
Exactly, you only helped the host of that world defeat it. You still need to defeat it on your own world.

When you use the soapstone, you write a message for other players to pick you up and bring you into their world. You have to look for a sign and bring someone to your world to fight the boss. You also have to be embered to see the signs.
In kindled form, activate someone else's summon sign if you want help beating a boss. This, essentially is what you did for them. The boss is still alive in your world.

Being summoned doesn't affect your game. You can beat a boss as many times as you like if you are summoned, but if you want to coop a boss for your progress you have to summon the other player to your world.

It sounds like someone summoned you to help beat the boss in their world. You need to use an ember and then summon someone to help you beat the boss in your world.

No because your a phantom that can die but the host can continue the fight. You will just return to your world. You need to be the host to get credit. Ember up and summon someone if you want credit.
NA copy has French on it, when set to French (France).

Seems really silly to me. So if I use an ember and summon someone, it counts. If I use the stone and help someone, I don't get credit. Figures when I finally beat the boss with someone, it doesn't count for me. lol

...It was never said it was going to fix that? It was just a patch for balancing some weapons.
Sorry, that's how it works. It's kind of like you going to someone else's world and beating it. The boss is still alive and well in yours :/
How does it not make sense? When summoned you help them defeat the boss in their world as a phantom. The progress in your world is separate.

i jumped straight into this without a shield as a warrior and never looked back. so happy to do that, as i had to shield up for basically the first half of DS2 until my agility was high enough to roll around properly. i'm now two handing a huge machete like a boss. not a fan of the skill though which is just a really short damage buff. thinking of switching to wolf's great sword maybe. wish i could try before buying. is it similar the the other great swords?

I was going based off the patch notes.

It doesn't make sense to me because you're not contributing any more or less whether you summon them or they summon you. It should just count either way, IMO. Oh well, it is what it is.

At least it still has Yoshichan's stream remark and "special thanks" to his girlfriend, though.
When you get summoned you risk nothing. If you die you lose nothing but your time (and whatever items you used and weapon durability), you lose none of your progression through the level or your souls. It's not the same at all.

those knights guarding

play the Cainhurst area in Bloodborne and you'll wish FROM made the next Castlevania game. Too bad Konami are idiots.

It makes sense. Think about it this way: at any time in the game (not always), you can go back and help others win the boss battles. It can be a lot of fun, actually. Also you get kindled for your effort, and also it can make covenant progress..
It is also a good way to 'practice on a boss' without having too much risk involved.
There is an illusory wall shortly after the
pontiff fight as you make your way past the giants

I probably got lucky, but it only took me about 4-5 tries after crushing a coin.

I love this game, but i suck at it. Probably will end up quitting like with DS1 and BB, but I don't care.
10hours getting my ass kicked feels more satisfying than 10hrs with some other games full campaigns.

I got one as a drop after fighting my first one - had no idea it was a rare occurrence. I fee like I should wield it just because for that reason.

I guess I just wish it functioned so it doesn't matter who summons and who is summoned. Make the risk the same. I guess I'm just more irritated that I finally took down a boss I couldn't earlier and it didn't count for me. haha
He's talking about the area
behind the illusory wall, down the long ladder with the 2 alligator/wolf mini bosses where the Aldrich Faithful covenant is
Around 70 hours in (I've played around 50 or so. I don't turn off or leave the session hen doing stuff so i seat on Firelink) Still on NG.
I've maxed out all but 2 covenants without any issue or having to wait more than a minute for a session.
Still ussing Uchi+6 and level 50. 1 optional boss and the last bos to go.
LOVING the game!
One thing about the players that pissed me off:
SPOILERS FOR A LORD OF CINDER BSS FIGHT

So I decided to farm sunlight medal at Yohrm cause easy fight. Well Maybe 8 out of 20+ fights actually had other sunbro's/phantoms ussing the storm ruler. Why help then? Are you going in to "check" the boss or something?

Love these things so far. Infused with Sharp.
Also are any of the rapiers good?

Well, the best thing about summoning is that you get the most valuable thing in Souls games: experience.
Now you know what to do when facing the boss in your world. It helps a bunch to know what a bosses attacks and tricks are.
