Cool, shot for the heads up. I came across this huge ant like creature in a cave in the Depths which didn't attack or anything. Dunno what was up with that or if that's FromSoft trolling =P

Those hand like creatures aren't really an issue, my halberd makes quick work of them. Though I didn't know you could light up the tar pits. Used up all my darn torches as well in previous area. Came across the boss in the Gulch (what an ugly mofo). Doesn't seem that difficult, though I died, just hard to get around him cos it's so big.

Yeah he's not that bad, just watch out for the tar pits when you maneuver around him. Shrine of Amala is kicking my ass now, made it to the boss three times only to die. Almost had him the last time but I pressed the wrong button and got killed.

EDIT: Got him! Hell yeah! Actually not that bad if you know how to do it, just requires some patience.

Please don't quote spam. You're just making more work for the mods. Now they have to remove the link from your post as well as the spammer.

What I did there was get myself summoned twice to learn the boss fight, then did it for my playthrough.

Here are my character stats as promised.

Was playing in offline last night as I had no internetz, and I thought, what if....

.... so I went up to that monolith in Majula to check deaths, and it shows what your personal death count is. So if you're interested, there you go, just a little FYI.

I'll have to check tonight, I'm around the same soul level. I'm very close to finishing the game actually.

So I got a bit bored last night and decided to try something out... Here's my journey...

So I speed traveled along to Heide's Tower area and slowly but surely went through the entire area clearing out giants, from bonfire to bonfire to bonfire (as there are three). Then I realized that this is a good source of souls and decided to farm them. I must have gone through back and forth about 7 or 8 times until they stopped re-spawning, earned myself a hefty ±30k souls as I was also using the Wanderers Hat and the Covetous Serpent Ring +1.

I traveled back to Majula and leveled up a few times. Thought to myself, "Hmmm... I wonder what a bonfire ascetic would do (although I knew) and what it would be like".
So I hoofed it back to Heide's Tower and burnt one in the first bonfire. Was kinda confusing as there are three bonfires in that area and how would the NG+ affect the area?! Turns out it upgraded the entire area, including Dragonrider but excluding Old Dragonslayer (I assume it's because he falls under Cathedral of Blue area). Though I managed to pick up the entire Old Knight armour set and now I have an over 90 poise along with their weapons.

Needless to say, the enemies?
ERMAGERD!!!
They hit hard! They hit fast! They will kill you!
One hit and I'm staggered, second hit I'm dead! Thank you, come again!

I finally cracked level 200+ damn I really dig pvp on the bridge at the Iron Fort,pity about the lag though but it still is a blast.

 

[Isengard]

Okay so I'm soul level 121 near the end of the game and my death count is sitting at 73.

 

[Wlad]

I'm currently at SL132 with 217 deaths, lol.

 

[Hiro]

i fear i have overdone the levelling, as it has broken my summoning ability :-( and BeoTek probably gonna end up in the same boat.

problem is, the game matches on Soul Memory (in NG. from NG+ that falls away). and i believe it searchs for players within a certain range. but i think i have way too many souls for my current progression within the game. i am not seeing any summon signs anywhere, only the bloodstain and message signs

Don't worry, I'm not far behind you.

Oh dear =\
What if we use the Name Engraved Ring?

Once you get to the latter half of the game where I am you will see more summoning signs again.

I fear I have been distracted by closer and more convenient areas.
So I started working my way through Huntsmen's Copse area. Damn those skeletons are a bitch. Easy to dispose of but thank goodness those necromancers don't re-spawn. I managed to open up that bonfire and so I'm about to tackle the Skeleton Lord (or something like that).

I love the atmosphere of this area though. Looks very interesting and that I'm in for an awesome trip, judging by what I see in the distance.
