You need to get the sorceries from the Mushroom in the DLC if you want the trophy. I didn't get the trophy with the vanilla items. Shit, I wonder if that's the case with the weapons too, because I gave up on Kalameet's tail.

Got the very large ember from New Londo and now my BSS is fully upgraded. Haven't placed the Lord Vessel yet;
want to trigger Kaathe so I can join the darkwraiths.

Anybody know how to get this chest in the township part of the DLC?

Y0zrrsk.jpg

It's in the large building full of bloated guys at the bottom of oocile township. Once you enter said building and go down the stairs theres a stone archway with some steps that take you to the top of that building. It looks like you might be able to jump in some parts but I havent been able to make any jump.

I'm confused about that, because I'm certain I bought all of Dusk's sorceries, but I got the trophy when I bought repair from Elizabeth in the DLC. Did I just forget to buy that from Dusk, or have they changed it?

Maybe you forgot to buy that spell from Dusk, you have to empty her inventory.

Ah, that explains it.

I'm progressing well through the DLC.

I found Royal Woods to be more relaxing/actually quite fun with a shield. I hated that area on my first playthrough. I got Artorias after I'd say 6 or 7 attempts (certainly quicker than the week it took me originally). I also killed Ciaran :( and Chester >:D for their clothes, so I have now attained Peak Fashion Souls.

Every time I read about how to unlock the DLC, I have to laugh. I know it takes no effort to look it up, but still.

I keep forgetting you have to go back to that spot in the lake like, 3 times. Once to kill the Hydra, another to kill the golem, then a last time after killing the Duke's Archives golem to get the damn portal.

I feel like pyromancy drops off massively in the late game.
I also feel like I wasted a lot of twinkling titanite on the thorns armor.

Just Artorias DLC left to do now before the endgame, now while I'm all for not having immediate warps in DS games, the sheer amount of walking I've had to do has me thinking they really could've just done a DS2 and put all the bonfires in as warp points, I've done SO MUCH RUNNING (capra's point above also comes to mind, it's a pickle of a place to go back and forth from)

Freakin' Big Hat Logan somehow freed himself from his own cell, I went all the way back with the key and he wasn't there so that led to another long stroll back (since the cell bonfire isn't linked to the rest), at least he redeemed himself by how his sidequest ends.

I just set up a family share, and there are still no player notes anywhere in the game.

Seems like it's a bug introduced in the patch that dropped last night.

You don't really need to go back after killing the hydra, is probably faster just leaving the game and continuing. Once you load the save the golem will be there.

What is the path of least basilisks (without taking the shortcut and having to deal with the channeler at GD)? I just don't have time for Cursed! these days

It's through an illusory wall on the upper levels you need to cast a light source for it to be revealed like another one earlier in the area. (Cast Light spell, Sunlight Maggot, Skull Lantern)

It is a...... red titanite chunk :/

Is the login server borked? It just starts me in offline mode. Cant be a softban because I havent even interacted with anyone in the game yet. On PC, already restarted my router

Edit: Oh, Steam is down. Also if you wanna know re: softbans, apparently you can tell if you go into the Information tab, it'll say if you're softbanned there.

I threw away 70k souls on purpose - at Soul Level 35 and have no intention of leveling up any further. It'll make invasions that much faster when I'm ready.

Hanging onto the souls was cramping my style, I almost felt obligated to "protect" my souls ... so fuck that. A suicide fixed that.

I have a similar issue going on. I've been sitting at around 50 humanity for most of my playthrough and at one point had around 250k souls just from doing so much coop. Humanity I'm not sure what to do with but I burnt most is my souls getting pyro flame to +14 on a whim.

I'm annoyed to hear about this weapon matching system, a got a Black Knight Sword and immediately upgraded it to +4 and then to +5 as soon as I could, I guess that's why I'm not being summoned often.

I just Ornstein and Smough and that about marks the end of the part of the game I really love, so I think I'm going to start again with a different build and try to make my character more summon-able this time. From what I understand the rules are that I shouldn't pick up any weapons that require anything other than regular titanite to upgrade. What I don't understand is how far I should go to avoid them. If a Black Knight drops a weapon do I need to actually drop it? Can I just store it in my bonfire box?

Hopefully just using a regular weapon will make a difference. I didn't get to play much co-op the first time I played the game, it's a bummer to be screwed over by a new system I didn't know about.

Does your pyro flame level affect the weapon matching thing?

To anyone in the darkmoon covenant - are you guys getting worlds to invade pretty often? I'm planning on joining that once I get to Anor Londo.

I've been able to invade pretty regularly in Sen's, Blighttown, and Anor Londo.

Actually just yesterday I got invaded and killed in Anor Londo. I happened to have an indictment on me (I'd actually never bought one before this play-through), so I indicted the invader, then tried using my Blue Orb. The first person I invaded was the player I had just indicted. So satisfying.

This is really annoying. I didn't realize they added the weapon matchmaking and now I can't get summoned to ANYTHING to get my 10th Sunbro medal. Only at 72 and have been searching around Pinwheel and O&S for a long ass time. Took a Quelaag's to +4 so I'm completely fucked it seems.

Soul level plus weapons, shield and pyro flame upgrade level affects matchmaking. Apparently, armor does not. For unique weapons, like BKS, just don't upgrade it then you can still play with people in the regular +0-5 range. Once you pick it up, the character is flagged so dropping it or depositing in the bottomless box won't make a difference.

Here's a good video:

Aaaaaand just as I was complaining, got summoned to Pinwheel. Ask and you shall receive I guess. If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Interesting. I didn't get the previous one. I'll go around with the maggot. Thanks man.

Looks like it. I basically don't get summoned anymore now. Which kind of sucks since this character was supposed to be a coop specific character. Oh well, looks like it's time to reroll. It's unfortunate the remaster uses such a broken matchmaking system.

I see the laggy backstabs are as bad as ever. My last 2 matches ended with me getting stabbed by someone who was "in front" of me.

Edit: On a positive note, glad to see so much activity. I'll never understand why people like PvP in ToG so much though.
