Hehe... Hehehe..
+15 Demon Great Machete with Crystal Magic Weapon, I love thee.
Also, the new abyssal magic is disgusting for pvp. Only way people have been able to fight my level 40 that went through the dlc is with a dark wood grain ring. Ain't no blocking this shit, and if people do try to silver pendant your pursuers.. Shoot em in the face.
Edit; Also silence, but nobody rocks it, I've gotta say it's pretty deadly against casters with the increased duration.
Street Fighter's not the only one, those big cat creatures in the garden make exactly the same roar sound as the mountain lions in Tomb Raider 2, Wonder what else is in there !
Or, you can run all the way to the fog gate and hope he throws his sack down. Run up and punch it it (no weapon) and he will fall to his death.
Preeeetty sure you're talking about the ceaseless discharge, and it doesn't matter whether you have a weapon equipped when you do this.
Right... right. Don't mind me - still haven't had my coffee.
That doesn't automatically upgrade the fire, you have to kindle it with the rite of kindling just like every other one to get to 20. The first part's right, though.
Doesn't the rite just get it to 15? Currently I have it at 10, and it says I need the rite of kindling for further kindling already.
I believe that saving Anastacia will cause her to kindle the fire to 20 for you after you have the rite and have claimed at least one lord soul. But you can just sink two humanity into it instead.

I'm holding at level 17, spending souls on upgrades and items so I don't lose them forever when I fight Capra the next time I play.
However, do what works for you, and don't be afraid to change it up. Upgrading your gear is incredibly important in this game, especially your weapon/shield. Shield upgrades should almost always be the basic kind (so you don't want a fire shield or anything like that) because that's how you gain the most stability, which is the percentage of damage you block that isn't applied to your stamina, in general terms. So if you block 100 damage and have 70 stability, you lose 30 stamina from your bar. More END gives you a bigger bar to take hits with, and still have something left to counterattack, as well as letting you move faster with heavier armor.
I just REALLY wish I could ever fucking summon some help. There's probably going to be no point in grinding to SL 90 to be in level range of a friend. I probably won't be able to summon them.
I hope summoning help works out for you, though, DD. Capra can be a real cockblock.
I think I've died 30 times on this guy and every time it's been to being knocked off the platform.
Oh well, at least I'm not taking a lot of durability damage.

There's an NPC to summon for the butterfly under a stairwell near its grey smoke door. Even without the NPC it's just of matter of dodging and waiting for it to lodge onto the walkway and then you just wail on it (I managed to kill it before it does its AoE).
I will summon that phantom npc when I try again in a little while. Thank you.
You found the
right?
If you've got humanity, there's an NPC phantom who will straight up solo that boss for you. Honestly, I love that there are summons for half of the 20-odd bosses in the main game.
Across the bridge to the right of the Iron Golem is an NPC summon sign for Iron Tarkus. He's a beastly tank and will stand toe to toe with the Golem no problem, if you want to human up and summon him!
That's not a bad thing. Many things in this game have a hidden easy/cheap as all hell mode.
My first time on the golem was with Tarkus, by the time I'd mustered up the courage to take a swing at the golem he was already on half health from Tarkus. My presence there was not required.
Currently playing: GW2 and TSW
If I could have one thing in Dark Souls it would be a boss rush mode where you can choose your NPC companion.
Iron Tarkus is a man's man, and I am proud to be wearing a couple pieces of his armor.
P.S., fuck hosts who never use Estus to heal their summoned bros. Fuck hosts who die immediately when you back off to burn a humanity to heal yourself twice. In the butt.
Don't think it has to be near. But yeah.
