It's a tongue twister.
Also, magic/holy is good against the towerknight. I found a blessed mace from somewhere that absolutely decimated him.

Level 112 or so, started NG++ this morning. PvP is still an even matchup, obviously, but I'm cleaving through PvE shit with my +5 Crushing Knight Sword like Bruce Campbell at a zombie convention. I'm Pyrowalrus on PSN if anyone around 100-120 wants to phantom it up.
Well, not that huge. It was nothing compared to my STALKER thread, at least.
But yeah, this game is fantastic. I still haven't finished a complete playthrough. Going to work on that in the upcoming week.
p.s. the best way to beat almost all the bosses is to be extremely cheap
I am a quitter. I would die in the same spot three times and never play it again.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Because, on the fourth time, you beat that spot.
And you feel like a gorram Gaming Rockstar.

It took me a while to get past this point.
But when I was finally able to beat Vanguard in the tutorial, I felt pretty pleased with myself.

I'm by no means trying to be defensive, but how far did you get in the game? This is true of some of the boss fights - but when you hit a lot of the later ones, it is very difficult to beat them in the way you suggest. Moreover, in a lot of cases, it isn't the boss fights that's the hard part - it's getting past the dungeon on the way there and then still having enough in your tank to beat the boss.
I didn't mind that I could beat some of these guys using glitches, because oh my god were some of the levels hard, and some of the other non-glitchable bosses were damn near impossible (Firelurker kicked my ass way more times than I'd care to admit. Turns out he eventually gets smart enough to run past the rock you're hiding behind).
the best way to avoid having glitches ruin your fun is in choosing not to do things that glitch the game
oh and i beat 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1, 3-2, 4-1 and that's about where i wasn't having fun anymore
that took me about 40 hours of playing. if you're spending that much time on a game you want to be damned sure you're still having fun
edit: you know i think many of the bosses are balanced in such a way that without stupid amounts of grinding the same short levels or tricky glitching, the only way to beat them is with help of other souls. that's fine. i think that's a noble idea to encourage multiplayer. but that wasn't explained well enough until i was deep in the game (and even then only indirectly) and i could rarely find anyone to help me, so i figured i wasn't quite playing it right and it just felt hollow
I see the appeal but I'm far too wussy for the challenge it entails
ugh I hate it when games have glitches in them that I am able to take advantage of if I want to and they make the game way too easy if I do those things that you aren't supposed to be able to do but can
the game is still terribly hard
it just drives you into a position so hopeless and confounded that the only forseeable way to move on is by using every cheap trick you can find
i'm not sorry i beat the bosses that way, i wouldn't have gotten to check out a lot of the cool level design if i hadn't, but it certainly didn't do a good job of making me feel satisfied
I think people, when playing it, have a tendency to basically play it online in solo mode. This is acceptable, but you can have a lot more fun if you're playing together with someone else.
When you first come into a level, if you're in soul form, just drop your blue soul stone right at the entrance. A lot of people drop them right before the boss, but this is by no means a requirement. Play through the level once (or twice, or three times!) as a blue shiny, helping somone else out, until you get a feel for the level. Then, rock through on your own - and bring a couple blue souls with you, to return the favor.
This is also a great way to get souls because, if you die as a blue phantom in someone else's game (assuming it wasn't to a Black Phantom), you don't lose any of the souls that you collected playing with them.
Then, of course, you can always be the Black Phantom ...

Also OP needs demons.
I'm at 1-3.
I've yet to try co-op, I take on an area solo, then maybe try it later.
i figure i am about your level
my psn is phrizzo
also is there an easy way to change a world tendency to white?
Never die when you have your body and beat all the bosses without dying.
Mostly only gave it a couple of runs if I needed some special arrows or something for a demon.
i got stuck fighting the hero in the swamp area with the hugeass butcher's knife weapon (the same one that i used) except that cunt can run freely in the muck and i move like a tranquilized sloth with down syndrome
it was just too frustrating
yeah
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Maybe I haven't gotten that far yet.
