      Re: Dark Souls II

      I got to marathon last night for 5 hours. It was glorious. Maybe some of you can help me with my next moves?

      Oh, and I have zero souls and 1 life gem . So basically am posting all this to see if I'm on the right path or there is someway to get that 75% ring earlier. I believe I have to kill a boss where I'm at to get it, and my guy is just not that powerful yet so it is tough sledding.

      For example, I have the soul arrow, but I can't even use a short bow, don't have a staff, and have zero magic ability (I'm a warrior). Is this something I should focus on so I have some long ranged attacks, or no?

        The game really opens up after you start collecting estus shards. The game is really, really hard without low Adaptability rating and no estus.

            You are probably more experienced than me but I just used trial and error and returned to my camp fire then Majula whenever I had enough souls to level. Now that I'm a higher level I'm not as cautious, but I do explore a lot. There is so many hidden items that can really help you get the edge. I have 6 flasks now, and +5 main weapons. Explore, explore, explore.

              Yeah, I wound up looking a few things up. I feel like DS is one of those games that will punish you for missing out on something, and it's often that the window is short (ie a merchant leaving their spot). I'll usually know when I missed something, so that's when I'll look something up.

                Are dark spirits just computer mini bosses?

                    There are three areas, I think, that you can explore right off the bat. Forest of the Giants was not the first area I encountered, so if you're having trouble there, you can go somewhere else.

                        Get the ring then use an effigy and equip the ring. Also why not head to Heides tower those bosses are relatively easy.

                                Usually, amounts to the computer invading your game. They are one offs though.
