Do you have the DLC ones as well? They count towards the achievement. Also make sure to use Manus's soul on Snuggly to get the pursuers.
Yeah, I have all of them. Pursuers is now my #1 tool to fend off invaders.
Hmm, I don't know then. If you're on Xbox, maybe it's just a delay on the achievement. Otherwise, I suppose it is bugged. I got them all recently myself on PS4 and the trophy unlocked fine.
Off for the most part, in my opinion. You're just gonna end up killing yourself due to the 4-way rolling if you're locked on at all times.
I did it. I bloody well did it. I beat Ornstein and Smough, something I never achieved when I first played the game. I did it solo, too, although it took me a few tries.
I think it helped that since DS1 I beat 2, 3 and Bloodborne so I have a much better understanding of the mechanics.
Now that I have the Lord Vessel, where should I go next?

Lock off most of the time. It usually does do more harm than good. There are perhaps only two bosses where I keep it locked on in the game.
Talk to Frampt or go beat the four kings first for a different story event.
I'm about to play this for the first time. Is there a good sword in the beginning of the game that I can use with a shield during the whole game? I used the broadsword in Dark Souls II which became pretty weak during the endgame. I didn't like that game much so I didn't want to explore for a new weapon. I'm afraid to get in the same situation in this one.
Try looking for ENB's dark souls timeline video from 2012. To me is still one of the best.
Not the beginning, but I used the Claymore for the majority of my original run, and you can get it relatively early I think (Id have to look up where exactly).
This just happened: got invaded in Undead Parrish, immediately summoned help. My helper is badass and starts plowing through people, running up the tower. I'm like my dude that's not what you're here for. And sure enough as I'm chasing him up a hallway, a red thingy starts coming up behind me and BAM insta-kill. Thanks a lot guy.
Downed Kappa on my first try after not playing the game in like 5 years.
I had an initial close call when the dogs had me cornered and kept attacking me before I could get a swing of my bandit axe off, but once they were done with the rest of the fight was simple.
The game as a whole is a true classic, but it does have moments where their corner cutting shows -- And I honestly think this fight is one of them. It's a poor encounter. It's only difficult because of the awkward and small arena and the dog adds. It feels cheap and unfairly punishing this early in the game (if you are a new player). The challenge of the fight shouldn't come from the awkwardness of the design. The reason I refer to it as corner cutting is because I suspect they would have preferred to have a legitimate boss here, but instead grabbed a regular enemy from a later area and threw it into a tiny room with some dogs to make it hard.

save file location (PC) is mydocuments/nbgi/dark souls remastered/random bunch of numbers
Claymore is under the Dragon at the bridge. For early game I think you can wait at the stairs until he flies away?
I just started walking around and the control over your character already feels better than in DS II. Is the combat slower or faster than in DD II?
Falchion, Balder Swag Sword or Gold Tracer (DLC)
He doesn't fly away but goes to the bridge, you can run away from him when he does to the bonfire after the bridge. When you're there is when he flies out.
It's a bit faster. Not DS3 faster though.
I may have rerolled Sorcerer.
Never done this before in a Souls game, but so far it's been very interesting. I mean I can still block, circle and backstab when the need arises, but most enemies die before they close the distance. I have 60 soul arrows, 20 greater arows, 12 heavy arrows and a +5 Magic weapon (thank you, leeches) before I've even started Sen's Fortress. Bosses in particular have been ridiculous, I didn't even get hit by Queelag. Bit worried about what happens when I get to the Duke's Archives though. Maybe ascend a second weapon to Lightning or Fire or something?
Just went and retrieved the Enchanted Ember, but do I go for Magic +10 or Enchanted +5? I have just enough Str/Dex to use the weapon onehanded, so I'm tending towards Enchanted for the better Int scaling. And because I can farm the Blue chunks in Darkroot Basin.

I noticed it is faster than in Ds II. The movement of DS II and its hitboxes were off. This game, DS III and Bloodborne feel much better.
Is Falchion one of the first areas?
After clearing the game:
Sif fight, Phalanx in the painted world, Nito and sadly the Artorias fight.
Artorias after he buffs himself, some of his attacks are fps-killers.
Falchion isn't as readily available in the early game as some other weapons, both ways to get it early kinda sorta requires the Master Key gift: Either you can get it from a suicidal loot run through Blighttown via the back entrance, or grab Astora Straight Sword from Valley of Drakes and use it to kill Skeletons in the graveyard/Catacombs (who frequently drop the Falchion). If you play the game normally you'll still get it in Blighttown, but you'll have to rely on something else to get you there.
if you want to backup your save then just copy the file in that folder to another location (right click---> copy)...and when you want to use it just replace it in that save folder
I keep a shortcut to the save directory on my desktop just open the shortcut and click and drag the save file to the desktop. Super easy...
Beaten the game countless times, and only now notice how the Kiln of the First Flame resembles the Tower of Babel
Haven't bought the remaster but how is everyone enjoying the best game of this decade so far?
Depends on the boss and depends on the situation, Dark Souls is way more tactical than Bloodborne and DS3, it's something you need to figure out on the fly instead of just play it like an action game.

Keep in mind you can only roll in four directions in DS1... XD
Duke's Archives boss is fine as a sorcerer. Just takes a while. The tail cuts really easily, but you need to free aim it, which is awkward.
Dragon's Dogma PS4 is pretty cool :P
Playing through the remaster has reaffirmed my belief that Dark Souls is the best game ever made. The world design and enemy design are still unparalleled and one must applaud the team for creating such a long, complex and deep game where the systems are logical and make sense. What a game it is.
The Souls fanbase has been asking for ''Invulnerable against backstabs while shield is on your back'' mechanic for years but it just didn't happen, I honestly thought it's a brilliant concept, giving up shield block in exchange for invulnerability on your back, how cool is that?

that is a nice concept...
In the Undead Burg there's a chest with 4 of them. You'll need the Residence Key I believe—it's the House after the firebombers with a firebomber and 2 axe hollows in front of it, across from the ladder leading up to the firebombers.
Yeah I thought they had changed the aggro range, seems a bit ridiculous now for some enemies compared to what it was like before. The ghosts New Londo in particular are annoying.

Yeah its brilliant.
Even visually,it makes a whole lot of sense.
At the very least it should protect against backstab during PvP.
Shit I was hoping there was more lol. I used all of that on Taurus Demon / Boar / random enemies I got scared of.
On the positive side, I decided to summon a Sunbro for the Gargoyles. Then I got up to the most and said fuck it, let's summon Solaire as well. So we thoroughly trounced the Garvoyles after that.
I fought the second boss on a bridge. It jumped off the bridge when it was almost dead. Is this supposed to happen?
Just going to leave my phantom outside of the gargoyles and hoard a bajillion souls before I keep pushing forward. I'm so under-leveled. Blarg!
