    I beat it around 73 hours and ~450 deaths. Lots of AFK time in there though, probably closer to 65 hours of play time. I have yet to officially start NG+, but I went ahead and killed the Iron King and The Rotten after using ascetics, and they were laughingly easy. Kind of scared of the Sinner...

    What you're realizing is that dodging > all and armor doesn't really mean shit. I have been rocking the Aurous set for almost the entire game just because it allows me to use heavier weapons or equip more of them at once. Seems the difference between good armor and bad armor is only one or two...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Great point, if Hashirama opened the 8th gate the world would probably explode from his first jutsu. Hence we will never see a talented character opening the more dangerous gates; IIRC Kakashi has opened the third gate(?) when he was climbing that cliff with one hand to meet Sasuke. He must...

    He has to die. If he doesn't the entire ordeal will lose any impact.

    The archer dragonrider was much weaker, or weak to electricity maybe. He died much faster than the one that you encounter first.

    For the Chariot just ignore the skeletons and dodge under the wheel spikes when he comes by. Run to the very end and kill the necromancer, kill the remaining skeletons and then use the lever near the end to close the gate and stop the chariot from circling. Pretty basic after that.

    Enchanted Falchion and Black Scorpion Stinger suck balls against him, that's for sure. BK Halberd is doing okay but it's a bit slow. Fuck yeah just got him dual wielding. Quartz Ring +1 kept his aoe damage to near nothing.

    I am trying to dual wield him and I'm finding the spear range helps a lot with his aoe. Also, quartz ring +1. Stuck around 50% atm.

    I was a bit annoyed when I found the third Heide Knight yesterday and discovered that the +0 lance is almost as good as my +10 sword :[ Guess I can dual wield em. Lightning stun lock for days, probably.

    If you farm Black Gulch keep in mind you can fireball/arrow/bomb the pools with the creatures in them to set them on fire. The blacksmith's daughter in town will sell you unlimited titanite after you open the shrine of winter, I think, and unlimited upgraded versions as you progress further.

    Sean I never saw it answered so I just found the BK Greataxe on the very top of Iron Keep, in a chest guarded by 3 archers.

    I thought there were only 3 but apparently the wiki lists 5-7 per play through. Anyway, yeah. Go ahead and use them if you want, you'll get more.

    You can respec 3 times per game.

    Yeah you are definitely a bit over leveled (not that it really means much) for only having two primal bonfires lit. I'm lower than you, somewhere around 110, and I've got 3 lit with the Iron King being my last remaining. Your summon time is going up because your SL is becoming so out-of-whack...

    Someone has already done the no-bonfire thing. It doesn't sound as bad as expected, as things like dying will repair your weapons, etc. The no-death ring seems harder to get now, even considering you can rest at bonfires.

    Yep and each ascetic is adding a level of NG+ to that area

    The best suggestion is just to figure out what kind of armor/weapons you want to use, and make your build around their requirements. There are always going to be objective "bests" that the min-maxers find, but you can without a doubt beat the game regardless of your stat allocation. I went...

    I did that congregation fight but I never saw anything get resurrected. The main boss will cast a heal (white circles) but I never saw anything other than that and the standard attacks. I just circled the room, 2hs killed the adds, then picked off each human. Nothing ever came back to life and I...

    Funny, I didn't think I was being hostile at all. Yes I realize that needing to wear an hp ring is not the most efficient possible way to gear, but come on, we have 4 ring slots now instead of 2. Swap out 3 of them based on your situation, like many do with other gear anyway, and be happy. I...

    Angel you complain about not having enough hp and then turn around and call a ring that gives you a 50% hp boost in hollow form situational. Wtf mate. Go jump off a cliff ten times, bottom your hp out, stop thinking that you need to be human and it's no longer situational. The only reason to...

    Do you seriously need to be human? Just use Ring of Binding. I've only been human for like 30 minutes total out of 40 hours.

    Apparently there are two ring rewards in game for beating the game without using bonfires, and for beating the game without dying. Each ring makes one of your weapons invisible.

    You will find more, think I have 5 on me atm. Also, I believe you get one for every rat covenant pvp kill.

    Caster tip: On the way to the Shaded Ruins boss there's a petrified lion blocking a chest in a ruined building. The chest contains an armor set and each piece increases casting speed, and you'll also get a branch to replace the one you used on him. Win/win.

    I didn't have many issues with her... 100% block shield (Drangleic) means the only attack you need to worry about is the head based ones, which are all avoidable. Try to fight her with yourself on the edge of the circle, facing in, because you don't want her to jump back into the poison and...

    As far as I could tell it just made enemies hit harder, didn't seem like I was getting any better loot or souls. So I got the Dragonrider Bow and it seems pretty good. I didn't know boss weapons were gonna require petrified dragon bones to upgrade, but the jumps are pretty high.
