I really need to hit the wiki for NG+ to be sure I see everything the next time through...

so I go human form to summon people to help me get past that bastard 1st part in Anor londo and i summon two, one does at the ******* arrow guys so we finally make it into the damn bonfire room and I go to 'dismiss' my helper since you can't light the bonfire when in co-op and a damn twink comes in the game and invades me!

I rush to kill him and get him down to maybe 5% health and he runs away into some enemies I had not killed yet, so I run into the bonfire room and try to hit the bonfire so I can at least respawn there when I die, I can't! So I try to summon someone else to help me kill this lightning zwiehander arsehole, FAILED TO SUMMON! aaaaah! So I try again, FAILED! Third time, same thing! I start lobbing fireballs and get him down to around 50%, then he starts lagging out, I die in like 2 hits since he somehow got behind me I then die right at the bonfire I can't light, SO MAD!


So yeah, I had to go all the way back to the beginning of anor londo and do it again, this time I said screw it and went all the way to ornstein and smough and then worked my way back had a better group to help which was nice

Elaborate on the bit about the asylum. I don't follow. Do you mean, that's why we start locked in a cell in the asylum?

Allow me to explain. I played through DeS. Not to the same level as some here, but I almost completed NG+. I soul-farmed the crap out of that game (4-2 ), but I didn't material farm. I also hardly ever took part in any online (PvE or Pvp). Although I would never call DeS a walk in the park, I was able to comfortably cruise through NG by simply being of sufficient soul level. I don't think I ever hard to try a boss more than three times. In fact, I spent almost the entire game in soul form.

DaS is quite a bit more difficult, IMO - unreasonably so. There have been a couple of bosses that I absolutely could not beat without summoning. Right now, I'm stuck at the boss pair in Anor Londo. So far, I've put ~50 hours into this game, on the first playthrough, and I'm SL75.

I think I've leveled too far to be of any help in PvE. I put down my soul sign at every boss, and I am *never* summoned. I think I've been summoned maybe 5 times in the entire game. In human form, I hardly ever see soul signs, even after 1.05. I think the level-window is too small. Simply put, because of the level-window, this game actually punishes you for grinding.

I am so frustrated. I might have another go at the bosses in Anor Londo again this evening, but I might just put this game up for a while if I fail. I've got three weeks off for the holidays, and I can find better uses of my time than being this frustrated.
