I'm really digging the way that the estus flask was handled this time. Between the initial low-use rate and the diminishing health bar it's made the game a lot more challenging and I always get a rush whenever I find a estus shard or a dust bone thing.

I didn't seem to have too much trouble with Pursuer, but the Ruin Sentinels took me a good amount of time to get through.

Plus finally finding your first 100% reduction shield feels so good!

Summoned in 2 helpers and, easily, killed The Pursuer. It helped that one went straight for the crossbows and I just kept him focused on me while the other guy shot him up. The other guy died a spectacularly glorious death. The last barrage left him with the tiniest sliver of health so I ran in and finished him off.

Oh also a tip:

If you want to seriously pad the worldwide death timer, travel to the first Sinner's Rise bonfire from anywhere and walk away. Did that earlier without realizing those fucking archers will drop you over and over from the fire.

Has anyone figured out what the coffin is meant for back in the tutorial area (Things Betwixt)? It's by those two fatwalrus guys on the beach. You climb in an get a loading screen and then you just hop back out again in the same place. Respawned everything like a bonfire would. I tried killing everything in the area and making sure all the fires were lit...still nothing. Any ideas?

It changes your character's gender.

Almost made me reroll, thinking I'd failed to notice the frayed tube top during character creation.

Ruin sentinels caused my first rage quit.

Even with two summons (NPC and PC) they just own me (and the rest of the group). Not to mention to the path there sucks too. So many enemies.

Got a mace and upgraded it to +5. Helps a bit on the way there but still... I think I just need to grind some and put everything into boosting my equip weight so I can get some better armor equipped and still be below 50%.

Only having 5 in the stat that gives me health isn't helping either.

What are the differences in summoning Shades or Phantoms? And why do so many people have outright random names with numbers in them? Doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, double check to make sure you don't have a set of tits now.

Note, you only need to be under 70% load for fast rolls.

The way there is pretty easy once you stop a few of the swordsmen from spawning. You can range pull the one you can see when you open the first building door, kill him outside. From there, you can run through the door, fall down all of the stairs, and run to the ladder. That will take you straight up to the Sentinel hallway where you can walk/sneak behind the remaining mobs without agro.

I haven't killed the sentinels yet but I got down to 1 and made a stupid mistake before dying on my second try. Basically you want to kill the first one on the ledge you enter in, the other two won't automatically join until he's dead. After he dies, jump down to the ground, target one of the remaining sentinels and circle strafe around both of them with your shield up. After they both attack, run in for a swing, two if you're greedy, and then back up and repeat. The only two attacks you really need to worry about are the twister (break lock and run away) or the jump attack, which you can roll dodge.

Whomever thought putting jump with the click of the left stick was a good idea should be fired. Yes this is rage talking but clicking it by accident is so infuriating. Why didn't they just leave it on the circle button?

Progressing ok today. Pursuer, Dragonrider, Last Giant, Skeleton Lords, and Old Dragonslayer down so far. Trash is giving me more trouble than bosses so far.

They increased it from DS1 because you have more equipment slots now and rings also have weight.

I'm probably blind, but where the heck does Rosalina go in the main hub area after you save her from petrification and give her some panties to wear?

Well being able to equip a shield with 100% block made a world of difference. Ruin Sentinels dead.

Then I died immediately afterwards to a suicide bomber in a cage. Then to little blue dwarfs. Then to some gargoyles.

Dark Souls.... I have had enough for today.
