Saw two summon signs around what I thought was the first real boss. Wanted to do it on my own so I didn't call them.
Beat said boss quite easily and decided to summon them both so see what they looked like.
Yeah that big guy was no boss. All three of us got destroyed by the real boss in the next area haha.

Pyro is strong I've done the opposite of you. A fire infused sword is great to supplement pyromancies.
I used the ring for the entirety of my run through the JP version. It is better than it was in any of the previous games (7%, rather than 5%).

first area question:
I don't know how to get into the room where the dragon spita fire above. Any guidance?
Me too. It really doesn't add much health, now that I can read all of the rings I'll probably use something better lol
At least the item description is correct this time.

Thanks dude. I must have just walked straight by the claymore, but I'm closing on the ultra greatswords now anyway so may as well hold out for one of them.

So, has capping the game at 30fps on PC made parrying a more viable option?
Just run through right after he's stopped breathing fire. You'll take a bit of damage from the fire on the ground, but not too much.

I specifically stayed away from Sorcery for my first character just because of how bad it was supposed to be. Once I got a handle on the game, and also kept finding a bunch of Sorcery items, I decided to try messing around with it.
Consistency is the biggest problem with it. It starts out relatively weak. By the time you put 28 into INT and have your staff at +1, you can one-shot most trash enemies with a basic Soul Arrow, and you can two-shot most of the knights, as long as they don't block the second. The problem is once anything gets up on you, or if you have to face more than one enemy at a time. Plus, the tracking on the arrows is as bad as it was in the first Dark Souls (they improved it in the second game, yet now it's kind of crap again). The increased enemy speed just ups the chances that the tracking will fail even more now.

Anyone else having trouble with summoning help? I've tried probably 30 times now, and I only get the message "Unable to summon phantom" ...

Wife enjoys teasing me while I'm at work, lol. Can't wait to get home and fire this fucker up!!
put 1 more dex so I can use this
. hopefully this one is better than the halberd which I hated, at least its a sword which is what ive been using anyway. also its super pretty
ice sword from the ice knight before road of sacrifice
A solid 30fps would be a start
Lol the SOTFS is Spoiled me on 60fps too the game plays so well.
The door right below him, yeah
Scholar of the First Sin is the better version. There's a crazy amount of content in that game. But it's definitely not necessary to play 2 before 3 if you were worried on missing out on story or something.
No, not worried about the story.
I couldn't get into the first one, liked the look of BB but don't have a PS4 and thought about giving 2 a shot as it is cheaper than going straight into 3 and disliking it.
I haven't tried it on a wide range of mobs or with an array of weapons/shields, but I was able to use my katana's parry just fine against that first
knight
Incase anyone cares, he also drops:
Lothric Knight armor (I got everything but the chest so far)
Lothric Knight Shield
Knight's Crossbow
Embers
Titanite Shards
Lothric Knight Shield
Knight's Crossbow
Embers
Titanite Shards
this is my favorite thing

Any quick tips on stuff to avoid permanently missing or screwing things up?
Particularly stuff like murderous npcs, npc side quests, making sure not to use an item unless for x specific reason, etc

It came down to the last pixel but I managed to one shot (5th or 6th boss spoiler)
Pretty interesting concept for a boss.
the first form of abyss watchers lol. When the cutscene played I was thinking, "that's it right? Right? It can't be. Oh shit!" Tried again and the first form isn't bad using the red phantom to draw some aggro. The flame effects are super distracting on that second phase I feel. Sometimes I think I get hit and I don't and other times when I'm sure I didn't, I do. I beat Maria already From, leave me alone.

I think I missed a path from the start. I beat the Meth Lizard and continued on to the first bonfire. Can anyone tell me? Feel like I saw another path and in my sleep deprived state I moved on.
Yeah tutorial, thanks.
Yeah the touch menu is completely unnecessary so I'll probably get rid of I had to mess with the sensitivity and in game to get it feeling much better. Also haptics I need them on high.
Yeah me too, seems that you have to be super quick to summon/press x on the sign before another player does.
Yeah. Game feels brand new even though I've been playing for weeks because of stuff like this. So awesome to see.
I was happy to see so many summon signs. I can just chill in High Wall of Lothric forever invading and getting summoned.

That feeling when you are at low health, no Estus flasks, and not a bonfire in sight. Playing as slow and carefully as possible.
God it's so good having a new Souls game

Afaik you cannot do every sidequest and covenant in a single playthrough. So you're going to miss some stuff regardless of how careful you are.
wait what? Please don't tell me the reason parrying is so hard is because of this.

You are already dead
That touch menu stuff sounds pretty awful. I have a Steam Controller and I don't really like it. I found playing DS1 with it to be nearly impossible. Probably won't try again when the XB1 controller works so well with this.
But, even with a normal controller config, you have to use the d-pad to move around menus and not the analog stick, because the analog stick will move your character, because menus don't pause the game

So, I've just discovered the boundless joy that is Souls co-op for the first time. This is without doubt the most fun I've ever had in a From Software game.
If anyone sees Shifty the Sneak's summon sign around the Undead Settlement, hit me up for some jolly cooperation! This is great.
(Do we have an official GAF password yet?)

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I just sent an email to Namco Bandai, can't wait for the response.
