I need some help to kick this guy's teeth through the back of his skull so I can get some coolio armour. Anyone playing this that can help me in some way (I've read all the strategies now I need some meatbag bodies to help me out)?. I'm about level 40 and absolutely fucking rubbish.
If you're about the same level stick your summoning sign outside the door and tell me a time, preferably morning time on a weekend, when you'll be there. I am getting friggin' annihilated and it's making me mad. Also my wife is in USA for a month which is making me madder still.
EDIT Teeth duly kicked in with the help of a guy spurting purple rays from his hands. Done deal.
On another note, what a fucking great game....

Ok, so I beat the Pursuer by getting help from a coop partner and then got through Heidi Tower until the 2nd boss, the Old Dragonknight. I fought him like 5 times and the last time I got him down to 1 health but I was out of health items and I started freaking out so I spazzed to my death.
I guess what I wanted to talk about here with anyone who tried the game (even the old version, I have Sins of the Scholar which changes lots of the enemy placement and whatnot) is character build and equipment sets. Right now I'm using a generic battleaxe+3 and a strength heavy but otherwise pretty balanced build. Should I be upgrading the weapon I have? I'm worried that upgrade equipment is limited and I don't necessarily see myself using this weapon for the rest of the game... same with my shield, I just picked up a watchdragon parma after I sniped the dragon in Heidi's tower. I'm happier with it than with the shitty starting shield I had, but... there are so many options it's bewildering and I have a serious aversion to using limited resources on things that may be a mistake. Should I feel free to fuck around and upgrade stuff or will I regret it later?
Right now I think I'm going medium armor and keeping my equipment load to 70% so I can do a normal roll.

My PS+ just ran out, just as I got to the Pursuer. I forgot how tough he was... still I managed to beat him after the 9th try. With him, a miscalculated roll is the difference between living and dying instantly. Felt good to see his ass drop.... now I'm at the Lost Bastille, which I loathed the first time through... and I don't think that's changed. Going to have to harvest souls and buy some Elite Knight armour!

Enemy and boss design was likewise all over the place, although I really enjoyed the Pursuer who everyone here seems to despite lol. Dodge towards his shield side and stay close to him! Parry his slower attacks if you feel confident!
Where DS2 shines is in the freedom it allows for player builds. However, the soul level system borks PvP.

I wish the stat options were clearer. The game doesn't really gain anything by having you scouring wiki pages to figure out how to make key choices to your character. I'm still using battle axe I bought but I thought about switching to the grand lance I got because it's hilarious. It's too hard to use, though, for a noob.

Still using the boring original battle axe. Still have no idea how the torches work.
I cannot overemphasize how important having the more consistent frame rate is for the game on PS4 vs. DS1 I played on the xbox.

Then I chickened out and homeward boned... wish I had stuck with it because I think there was something in the room below the the switch. I looked on the wiki to see if I'd missed anything big and apparently I missed a key pharros stone that prevents those spider looking dudes from attacking? I just kept murdering them in the dark...

Well, the torches work for a set amount of time. They're good for lighting things up, and scaring away monsters that fear the light. Like a certain enemy that a pharros stone prevents from attacking.

Yeah, can't believe I missed that Pharros stone in that section. The boss after that is cake. Such cake, in fact, that you see him again really soon afterwards downstairs in a water area before a boss I'm not ready to fight yet.
I'm on the Ruin Sentinels right now and I think I'm way overleveled but still having a bitch of a time. I summon the two NPC dudes to help me and I'm getting pretty close. Once I get the 2nd sentinel down there won't be any problem. I haven't figured my weapon choice out yet, I'm still on the basic battle axe. I have a STR build.
