Not going to back track the thread cause I dont want to spoil past where I am So ill ask at this point in the thread. Does the soapstone have a respawn timer? like no matter where I am at, I cannot lay it down.
It does not. I had a weird issue like that too. But I used mine plenty of times back to back today.

Pyromancy upgrades made these Huntsman Copse bosses pretty lulsy so far .-. Skeleton Lords wiped out like weenies thanks to Flame Swathe and Firestorm.

Nvm, summoned help for it which I didn't want to do, but oh well. Along the way there, a red phantom npc invaded and I got one of its drops, Leydia Black Hood, but doesn't seem to be anything special.

Right now the guys with Dark axes/whips are frustrating the ***out of me. lol
Probably late but...
I just baited out the axe guys overhead swing or waited for the triple combo to end, then I circled around and backstabbed them. Some I just waited for it to end and went to town on them in their face. Blocking the 3-hit combo takes too much stamina due to the axe's poise damage rating. They seem to use all their stamina just in their single 3-hit combo. Whip guys I just blocked their 3-hit whip attack and did the same. Whips are ***when up against any kind of decent shield. (90%+ physical defense)
I find dressing Rosabeth to be quite humorous. All I had to give her right after I freed her was some prisoner's rags. :3 Wasn't giving her any decent armor or anything. Trying to find something that looks nice, like something similar to the maiden set from DS1. Pyromancy upgrades made these Huntsman Copse bosses pretty lulsy so far .-. Skeleton Lords wiped out like weenies thanks to Flame Swathe and Firestorm. My fire longsword killed the lords in like 4 hits. Then it broke as I killed the last one so I switched to my *** sword and used the wide sweeping attack to kill/stun multiple skeletons at once.
Also, I'm glad the wheel skeletons don't travel for miles anymore. Was so annoying having to chase them down in DS1.

I'm glad that is the only area with wheel skeles.... so much fear of those things in DS1.

I have not put much time in game yet. Just playing with mechanics. I keep choosing the deprived character and find myself leveling same stuff as the swordsman... Thinking of starting get over as a swordsman since I am not that far into game.
is there a better/easier starting class .

Barbarian, knight, and swordsman are generally the easier starting classes. Deprived is more for advanced play because you have absolute control over all of your level's stat allocation. Mages are kind of an in-between.

By Kalila 2014-03-17 09:02:21
They're much more challenging if you can't kill them in 1-2 hits, which then you become very overwhelmed by their aggressiveness and you yourself have to become very evasive to avoid their damage. If they clip you it could be game over very quickly due to their constant damage running into you instead of just 1 simple hit.
So generally the best way to deal with them is to make sure you can kill them quickly, but that could be said about everything.

Yep this^ getting randomly clipped trying to run and they stun lock you with their rolling until you die. If you get hit by multiple it was like insta death. I would try to run to pinwheel early on to get the Estus + and would always have trouble running from those. Same thing in the underground area of the Painted World. I would run for the switch to up the patch to the boss and there is like 6 of them all rolling at you at once.

*mini news*
Titanfall triumphs over Dark Souls II in sales (NOWAY), but DS2 holds the number 2 slot for most sales this week. Also, Titanfall gave a boost to sales for the Xbox One, 96%. 96% of what I don't know, overall? NA? Month? Week? who knows, they just like to point out the % and no specifics.
A very respectable spot to be in being the niche game that Dark Souls II is, and not some generic shooter that happens to have robots as well.

I ended up being able to sit behind my shield letting all of them constantly run into me and not even running out of stamina. Such high poise, stamina, and stability and all. Though that was at really high levels. At lower levels I just got accustomed to dodging them since they generally rolled straight at you and didn't change course.
In the area below Painted World though, sometimes they would manage to sneak up behind me (damn those tunnels and all the passages) and they would get a decent roll in on me, constantly doing the "mini-stun" on me, though at the times that happened I was already such a high level it would usually only take me to around 3/4-7/8th of my health.
Being level 600+ was so amusing.
I do remember the first time I found them though. I was busy with the black knight just before the area with them and ended up fighting him out in the more open area...next thing I know I'm being pummeled from behind by two of them. Scared the ***out of me. (My camera was turned to where I didn't even see them coming till they were already on me.)

I actually ended up losing the 11k souls I earned from killing the boss The Last Giant (sad), so I farmed the 11k back at this bonfire. I still have to fight the Pursuer, doing that next.

Heide's Tower of Flame

Death 115: Pretty sure stuff is getting more difficult, I'm doing less damage and they are doing more.
Death 116-117: Dying to the Executioner Chariot
Death 118: Died on the way to the boss~
Death 119: Still dying at the start of the boss battle.
Death 120-158: Dying over and over to skeletons and the Chariot... only 4 attempts I made it to the actual boss fight, 3 of which I obviously died, bringing my total to 44 boss attempts, move over gargoyles, you have a new pain in the *** king. I'm going to take a rough guess and say I lost close to 35k souls before stuff started to despawn completely. The area is basically empty now :\
Huntsman's Copse
Death 159: Died to an NPC invader
Death 160: Failed the jump back from the necromancer
Death 161: Died to normal enemies ;_;
The Lost Bastille
Death 162: Trying to get up the tower to check something, a hunch.

Earthen Peak
Death 167-168: Trying to make a jump :(

Death 194-196: ._. exploded. figured out that running is the best tactic.
The Gutter
No deaths... not bad for a decent blightown.. but.... Black Gulch ahead...
Black Gulch
Death 197: Wow... didn't know poison could be so bad.
Death 198, 199, 200: Fighting the Huge giants with dual massive giant stone clubs. Their HP were incredibly high, I'd guess maybe 2000 each, and their attacks are incredibly strong, dodging was required for me to defeat both of them. I can live with them giving me my 200th death instead of me falling off the edge or something lame. Earned their soul and a forgotten key for it.
Death 201: My left foot stepped in fire and I burned :(
The Gutter
Death 202-203: Went to check the door in The Gutter, got Havels armor set for it, but didn't make it back to a bonfire with my souls and no homeward bones. Looks like I need to farm some. 6k souls lost~
Sinner's Rise
Death 204-213: Welp, area is easy, but she's pretty strong with the darkness on her side. I'm pretty sure if I light the oil tunnels behind the two doors the fight will become much easier... but I like the idea of fighting it this way, like how it was intended.
Iron Keep
Death 214-252: Some flame demon thing (Smelter Demon), died 39 times using my usual morning star club.
Death 251: I went and tried Craftsman's Hammer, first try we died at the same time, second try I beat him. It might have been the weapon, or it might have been sleep, just glad I beat him.
Death 252-253: ... the pursuer is back, 3 tries not that bad I guess.
Death 254-260: Stupid OP Great Sword belltower knight :(
Death 261: Death by lava
Death 262: Death by Mimic :<
Death 263: Forgot to kill the knight up on the beam this time.
Death 264-272: Feel cheated. First 3 attempts I should have 1, my last hit always whiffed or his animation threw me into the lava as he retracted his arms, then my fury just got me killed until I could calm down. *** broken ***.
Shaded Woods
Death 273-276: Invisible NPCs in the fog, they aren't hard but once I died once and tried to get my souls and got backstabbed, I didnt' care anymore.
Doors of Pharros
Death 277-278: Learning to fight the Giant things in the water.
Death 279-304: Royal Rat Authority boss fight BS dog rats, favoring long weapon types with sweeping attacks that I don't have.
Death 305: My frustration broke through so many levels that I snapped, and thought using a shield might be a good weapon. It worked out very well, and the very first run I tried using my shield two handed I got the boss to 50%. Second try was finally my win. This boss killed me 26 times before I tried using a shield as a weapon, shield is obviously stronger than any of my "real" weapons xD
Brightstone Cove Tseldora
Death 306: Backed up off a ledge :)
Death 307-308: Died to mages while recovering souls.
Death 309: Fell down a sandpit hole :<

Death 315: Richard got me ;_;
Death 316: Havel ran to richard for help, cheater >:O
Death 317-318: Tried the portals at Black Gulch, died to the first phantom each try, left behind 7k souls, couldn't justify trying anymore when I couldn't kill the first.
Drangleic Castle (return)
Death 319: Died to the statue room... today isn't going very well :\
Shrine of Amana (AKA: WATER SONG HELL)
Death 320-332: Deaths from mages, and the cyclops. That's all there is really to it. I beat the Demon of Song on my first attempt. I'm so fking done with this area. OMG I'M FREE. I ALSO LOST 50K SOULS UFFKJLFHFUFUFLFUFUH
Undead Crypt
Death 333-334: Gravestones with the two bells room :(
Death 335-336: Deaths by Velstadt, the Royal Aegis
Death 337: Ran off the edge, goodbye souls, idk how many
Death 338: Tried entering the fog without killing the 100 enemies guarding the door. Failed.
Death 339-340: Two more deaths from Vestadt :<

FYI, anyone using the official guide and wondering if the lore section is "legit"
Marcus Sanders (EpicNameBro) and A German Spy worked on the lore section together, with FromSoft signing off on all of their work to confirm it as fact. So you'll be glad to know that you can read it all knowing that ENB wrote it for you, and that he got to play the full game months before all of us :)
You can confirm ENB as an author on the very last page under "Authors", he also wrote the entire first chapter "Game Systems", and wrote most if not all the battle strategies for all bosses and enemies in the game.

Yes this area is probably the worst in the game and by now I'm sure you know why. It's not bad at all if you have a decent bow. I didn't have a decent bow...
Also regarding the last boss in the There is something special you need to do to lower that defense by quite a bit. Still takes a bit to kill but you'll do about normal dmg. He still has a lot of HP though.

Scorpion Lady was nearly a oneshot, but I mistimed a roll and got toxiced, GG. Giant Spider took 4 attempts, once I learned the fight it was a cake walk. Twin Dragon Riders were super cake walk.

Death 116-117: Dying to the Executioner Chariot
Death 118: Died on the way to the boss~
Death 119: Still dying at the start of the boss battle.
Death 120-158: Dying over and over to skeletons and the Chariot... only 4 attempts I made it to the actual boss fight, 3 of which I obviously died, bringing my total to 44 boss attempts, move over gargoyles, you have a new pain in the *** king. I'm going to take a rough guess and say I lost close to 35k souls before stuff started to despawn completely. The area is basically empty now :\

Death 159: Died to an NPC invader
Death 160: Failed the jump back from the necromancer

Black Gulch
Death 197: Wow... didn't know poison could be so bad.
Death 198, 199, 200: Fighting the Huge giants with dual massive giant stone clubs. Their HP were incredibly high, I'd guess maybe 2000 each, and their attacks are incredibly strong, dodging was required for me to defeat both of them. I can live with them giving me my 200th death instead of me falling off the edge or something lame. Earned their soul and a forgotten key for it.

The Gutter
Death 202-203: Went to check the door in The Gutter, got Havels armor set for it, but didn't make it back to a bonfire with my souls and no homeward bones. Looks like I need to farm some. 6k souls lost~
Sinner's Rise
Death 204-213: Welp, area is easy, but she's pretty strong with the darkness on her side. I'm pretty sure if I light the oil tunnels behind the two doors the fight will become much easier... but I like the idea of fighting it this way, like how it was intended.
Iron Keep
Death 214-252: Some flame demon thing (Smelter Demon), died 39 times using my usual morning star club.
Death 251: I went and tried Craftsman's Hammer, first try we died at the same time, second try I beat him. It might have been the weapon, or it might have been sleep, just glad I beat him.

Death 261: Death by lava
Death 262: Death by Mimic :<
Death 263: Forgot to kill the knight up on the beam this time.
Death 264-272: Feel cheated. First 3 attempts I should have 1, my last hit always whiffed or his animation threw me into the lava as he retracted his arms, then my fury just got me killed until I could calm down. *** broken ***.
Shaded Woods
Death 273-276: Invisible NPCs in the fog, they aren't hard but once I died once and tried to get my souls and got backstabbed, I didnt' care anymore.
Doors of Pharros
Death 277-278: Learning to fight the Giant things in the water.
Death 279-304: Royal Rat Authority boss fight BS dog rats, favoring long weapon types with sweeping attacks that I don't have.
Death 305: My frustration broke through so many levels that I snapped, and thought using a shield might be a good weapon. It worked out very well, and the very first run I tried using my shield two handed I got the boss to 50%. Second try was finally my win. This boss killed me 26 times before I tried using a shield as a weapon, shield is obviously stronger than any of my "real" weapons xD

Bahamut.Rulerofdarkness said: »Right now the guys with Dark axes/whips are frustrating the ***out of me. lol
Probably late but...
I just baited out the axe guys overhead swing or waited for the triple combo to end, then I circled around and backstabbed them. Some I just waited for it to end and went to town on them in their face. Blocking the 3-hit combo takes too much stamina due to the axe's poise damage rating. They seem to use all their stamina just in their single 3-hit combo. Whip guys I just blocked their 3-hit whip attack and did the same. Whips are ***when up against any kind of decent shield. (90%+ physical defense)
I find dressing Rosabeth to be quite humorous. All I had to give her right after I freed her was some prisoner's rags. :3 Wasn't giving her any decent armor or anything. Trying to find something that looks nice, like something similar to the maiden set from DS1. Pyromancy upgrades made these Huntsman Copse bosses pretty lulsy so far .-. Skeleton Lords wiped out like weenies thanks to Flame Swathe and Firestorm. My fire longsword killed the lords in like 4 hits. Then it broke as I killed the last one so I switched to my *** sword and used the wide sweeping attack to kill/stun multiple skeletons at once.
Also, I'm glad the wheel skeletons don't travel for miles anymore. Was so annoying having to chase them down in DS1. Flame Swathe one shots each of the Lords, one charge for the mage, one charge for the melee. Then Firestorm just completely obliterates the normal skeles. It was the second boss I one shotted after the Lost Sinner.

Ina's Death LogEntry 1: After stepping through the 3ed archway veiled in fog I was confrounted with a single zombie thing wielding a cross bow. After kicking over a tree and riding it as it fell I was able to easily dispatch him. With no other path in sight I dropped down a small pit in the center of the room where my spine was hacked by a blade and then once more. Moments later I awoke at the bonfire looking like ***
