I got up to just before The Last Sinner on PS3, then the PC version came out so I switched to that.

Any chance you guys could help me out? I donm't know where to go. I beat the gargoyles in belfry tower but there didn't seem to be anything beyond that. Went back to a few other areas and found a miracle seller en route to Heide's Temple who tells me the room is not as it seems blah blah blah. But all she does is sell miracles and cleric items which are fuck all use to me. It's the only way I can see forward except for that big well in majula however I die if I try to fall to that first "ledge".

Any cliues as to where to head?

Ignore that. I'm such a fucking idiot sometimes!

I think human invaders also appear red? Not 100% sure though. Anyway, NPC invaders can use Estus Flasks. It looks like you're on the cliffs in Huntsman's Copse and an NPC invader always appears there.

You can usually tell by what their names are too. If it's something that makes sense like Executioner Miralda then it's probably an NPC, wheras if it's xXxNOCOPEURHEADOFFSCRUBxXx then it's a person.

Lol yeah true. I was just thrown by the estus use. Just met another red guy who wasn't announced and didn't drop anything. Denied!

I didn't opay attention and entered the fog right after =fuighting him too. Dumb move Dave, dumb move!

Guess I was in the Demon's Souls mindset where fog often just led to a new area. Also the messages on the ground weren't overly helpful... although fucking hilarious! :D

Invaders never drop anything which is kinda disappointing.

Boss fight you're at is kewl.

Yeah they do. There are some very rare armour sets that you can only get from NPC invaders.

One thing that shits me about this game is the way enemies seems unhindered by walls yet you are. In an area with a few corridors and I have to use a thrust weapon else my weapon dings uselessly against walls. Enemies don't seem to have this restriction however and can swing freely thru walls :(

Replaying RRA I think it would be a very good fight if not for the ludicrous gimmick. Granted it's Sif 2.0 but it's one of the better things DS2 borrowed from DS1. Though I guess trying to avoid said gimmick, which is possible, elevates the tension. To be honest I really only dislike the start of the fight because it's easy to suffer the gimmick's cruel consequences.

Talking in code because I'm too lazy to make spoiler tags.

Yeah it's really good but also a constant reminder that you suck at Dark Souls.

The fact it records the amount of time played on my save file is reminder enough. I really am terrible at this game although I'm making progress so that's a plus. Actually I'm really, really enjoying it so that's the plus. I should probably spend a little more time playing and a little less time boring you all with screenshots and random comments though.

Esp as alt tabbing out of the game seems to crash it :( Luckily it seems to save every few seconds so I never lose progress.
