Ok sell me this a bit! I'm a big fan of MH (which I don't even think it matters but you never know lol) never played anything on the souls line, my biggest concern is that it's only skill based but nothing grindable to make it easier, same way I grind gear in MH to kill harder bosses etc, is the core just plain skill and GitGud or you can kind of grind to make your life easier? Aside from that, what's the thing you guys like the most! Might sell me the game if it's something I might like as well :)
Should I be doing anything special in human form? I'm like... 99% playing in spirit form because I die a bunch. Just killed a boss, back to human, and sure I'll die in next ten minutes. Am I stupid and missing something?
Yeah, good advice. I switched to Spider-Man last night after my Royalty experiment, but I'll probably go on tonight and give another area a go.
I'll probably end up doing that or just go for the archers first and spam magic at the Knight. I played most of Bloodborne in 2015, so I'm familiar with some of the mechanics, but I still hate how they make co-op convoluted. Just let me invite people through a menu!
Depends.
Do you want dark world tendency? If you do then die in human form in the level. If not then die in the nexus so that you don't go darker.
The skeletons in 4-1 are the best farming spot in the early going. 15k souls shouldn't be more than 15 minutes, but I wouldn't mess with the red eyed katana skeleton there unless you have some basic spellcasting.
The Morningstar laying around at the very beginning of 5-1 is a blunt weapon that makes short work of them. Im lower level than you and they go down in 2 strikes from it, after upgrading. There's a blessed mace in there also but 5-1 is a mess to navigate.
The opening of 4-1 has the crescent falchion which deals out split magic/physical damage, a talisman that allows miracles, the ring that regenerates health, a Katana that might be the best dex weapon in the game AND a compound longbow that's easily upgradable to a complete monster of a range weapon.
4-1 should be an immediate go to after 1-1, with some side stops in 2-1 to open up a useful blacksmith and some blunt weapons in 5-1 to make your life easier.
Where the heck do I get mats to upgrade the crescent falchion? I have been farming lizards in 2-1 and 2-2 for hours and still don't have enough for an upgrade. I must be missing something .
Just a few short days now for us UK folk.
Do you guys recommend just winging the build for the first run or is it advisable to go in pre-planned. I winged it on Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 & Dark Souls Remastered, but with all the builds talk pre release, feeling like I should try thinking it through for once.

I finished the game at level 65 and the final boss was a pushover. Unless you farm like crazy you're not going to be hitting anywhere close to 98, nor do you need to.
You won't find upgrade mats for that in there.

world 4
To follow up on this, the name got changed to MoonshadeStone this go round.
Thank you!! I knew I was missing something lol.
Is there a recommended order of places to tackle after you beat the first Boletarian level? Are some archstones much harder than others, or is every archstone's first area comparably difficult and each subsequent level within the archstone gets harder?
Is my game bugged? The music is incredibly low. I just got to the tower knight boss and if the sound effects are at a 10, the music sounds like it's at a 4. In the original game the music was a big part of the game and the music volume was on par with the sound effects. It's really disappointing. I'm going to see if I can tweak it in the game.
Couple glitches. The dragon glitches in its animation on each of the two bridge segments when going to the tower knight. Hopefully that gets fixed. Also, if you leave a summon sign right before one of the bridges and you die after being summoned, when you reload the game will go into single digit fps for maybe 30 seconds. Happened twice to me.

Man, I really wish they had made playing co op more like dark souls. Having to find these very rare Stone of Ephemeral is really killing the mood, especially since I got my brother to pick up the game to co op with.
Good to know. May I ask what your bow/stats were?
Not sure what you mean. But in Dark Souls you need to be human to summon too?
Uh oh, so I grinded up my 15k souls to buy that Claymore I thought was being sold at the blacksmith in 2-1 only to find out it was some other merchant that had it when I couldn't afford it.
Looked it up and apparently it's the merchant in 1-1 and 1-2 who then disappears after you beat tower knight until the archstone is unlocked.
So now I can't buy it whooops. Apparently the blue-knight guys rare drop it, but I used them to grind (I know you guys said skeletons in 4-1 are faster, but I was lazy and the bonfire after tower knight is so easy. Not only that but during grinding 15k souls I got 70 half-moon grasses and like 30 bolts so that took care of my no healing items and no arrows problem as well!). I got 2 knight shield drops from them in the 15 mins of grind, but no claymore so I gotta imagine it's pretty dang low chance drop.
Should I just pump my 15k souls I grinded into my levels (faith stat points) and go grab the blessed mace in 5-1 and use that until I can buy the claymore later in the game? I want my faith/str claymore build ;_;

Dying in human form moves your world tendency to Black, so I would suggest not doing that
Five minutes ago I would have said, "yeah, great, but I'm gonna die in this game."
But I suppose based on the other reply, you mean it's better to just off myself in the Nexus?
A tank is basically a good shield in this game. Claymore, good shield and sub 50% weight to avoid fat roll and you can finish the full game.
Yup.
The alternative is that your world shifts to black and you have black phantoms parading around and the overall difficulty goes up.
If you're really interested in summoning help then stick to body form. Otherwise it makes things harder and you will have a rough time manipulating world tendency for bonus items.
And yeah that blessed mace might work...
But, hmm, how do you feel about halberds or polearms? An alternative to the claymore would be the mirdan hammer which is also a very good weapon. They drop from the scale miners in 2-2, and you find a free one early into 5-2. 5-2 would be too harsh to take on early overall, IMO, but 5-1 should be doable with the blessed mace alone, and if you can run to pick up the MH and retreat to the archstone (I could give you directions to it if you want), maybe that'll help.
According to 99humanity below, this is wrong and the merchant should still be in 1-2!
I got the clothes from 2-2, the legs from the first official in 2-1 and the gloves from the second one in 2-1. I was missing the gloves and tried farming that first official a few times and it didn't drop, but got it the first time I killed the second one, so they're probably just guaranteed rather than farmable
They probably mean the soft humanity thing. You can go human without having Humanity items just by playing the game, which is pretty cool.
I also miss that system a lot in pretty much every other game.
Just a heads up, that information is wrong (at least for the remake), that merchant is still there! I had to buy the club from him, and he was there before I had unlocked the door after tower knight fight.
Ah. I honestly didn't care for it, because carrying humanity that you can lose in a bloodstain was kind of stressful haha
Dragon God is stupid, idk what I'm supposed to do, anywhere I stand is a OHK and it's real hard to judge where the hands are gonna hit. Spent 2 hours summoning people who would just run in and die. Making it past enough debris feels like luck
Can someone clarify co-op for me?
If my and a friend are both souls can we still play co-op? And are the blue stones single use items? I only have one so I have no idea where I would get more from.
And how do I go about using Summon Signs?

And how do I go about using Summon Signs?
I have the meridian hammer from a drop but it needs some dex points (12 I think). I'd love to try a polearm/spear because in all the souls games I've never done a build with one of those and theoretically keeping distance sounds great. I do need some dex points if I go that way too.
Also since I'm sitting on all these souls atm, should I buy the heal spell? I wonder, is there any point in using heal if you have a ton of grass? *edit* bought the heal spell anyway. 5k souls is nothing.
Awesome. Will go see him.
- To summon help, you need to be in body form, with the boss of the level still alive.
- To be summoned as a helper (phantom), you need to be in soul form, and drop a summon sign by using the Blue Eye Stone.
- The Blue Eye Stone is infinite use.
- Once a sign is dropped by the phantom, the host will eventually see it appear on the ground where the phantom dropped it, and can pick it up to summon.
If you want to play with your friend, make sure you use a password so that the summon sign doesn't appear for other players to snatch it from you.
Well, it saves on some grass, for sure. If you have something to regen MP it can add up.
Just
It does *not* feel good, man.
Killed Maiden Astraea in front of Garl Vinland for the trophy. Didn't even cheese it with arrows. Just parried him non-fatally and attacked her with a falchion. His failure was complete and total.
It does *not* feel good, man.
This helps a ton, thanks! So does this mean two souls can't play together? Or is it just easier to summon others with your body?
I'm thinking you're right. I've been at these 2-1 officials for a while and I haven't gotten clothes or even dupes of the gloves/legs. I guess given what it's used for, it makes sense you don't have to actually farm it.
Correct, you can't summon in soul form.
Also, one thing to keep in mind is that if you are a phantom, and help the host defeat the boss, you will revive to body form. However, the boss will still be alive in your world, you need to defeat it in your own world to progress. Being a phantom is basically just a temp assistant to another player.
In the original, the 'final' place most builds would stop levelling was 120 and in the context of PvP unless things change, that's around the place to expect most builds to end. Generally you'll be in NG+ or NG++ to reach that. At the level the person I was responding to was at, they've nowhere nearly messed up their build.
Awesome - thank you. Just killed myself in the Nexus so I don't have to worry about it ;p
Finally got around to killing off the Armor spider.
Checked the trophy list and only 26% of players have beaten it.
Phalanx is still at 60%.
Seems like a LOT of players are hitting some brick walls fairly early and deciding Bugsnax is more their speed

Ok, got my claymore and was able to get it up to +4 with a few souls spent on hard sharpstone. Also added 1 more lvl stat to STR to at STR 20 and can single handed wield it.
Definite upgrade from my bastard sword. Atk is 173 and longer/wider range reach. If I enchant it with an item/spell that should give me a good magic weapon, right? Is there a magic spell in this one to enchant your weapon?
Also can you branch your upgrade paths and turn physical weapons into enchanted weapons later on? Or did that not start until Dark Souls? I can't remember, but it was very useful in the later games...
Ready to go into 4-1/5-1 before trying Armored Spider again. I wish the world tendency in world 2 would go away from pure black. I've only died there twice in body form, the first time I died in there after beating 1-2, then I went and did 3-1 and beat that, and died again in 2-1. Seems weird that would make it pure black. Is there nothing I can do until I clear the boss to turn it white?

The enchant weapon spell isn't available until you are able to transmute boss souls using the red hot demon's soul, free sage freke AND beat Penetrator.
Its not an option for you.
There is an item that will mimic it (sticky white slime) you should have picked up in 2-1. You can also buy it from a merchant in 4-1, but by then you should have access to the crescent falchion anyway.
If you defeat an invader you can shift your tendency back towards white.
