Don't have the game yet, but I read you can use a bonfire aescetic (sp?) to respawn enemies. They drop more souls and loot but they get tougher

Using the Explorer class build for the adaptability, cant wait to put some more time in later

PS3 death count was at 2.2+ million so far :whoo:

I think this ones actually harder than the last.

- You lose 5% HP after each death (to a max of 50%)
- Enemies stop respawning at a certain point (stopping you from grinding)
- Shop keepers have very limited supply of good items (ie. Life Gems, Titanite)
- Less Estus Flasks from the get-go

Fast-travel does save a lot of time in the end, but damn, I'm not enjoying these changes at all LOL

From Software is not fukking around
The bolded makes the game easier or at least less monotonous. If you wanted to stop the grinding, you'd just have enemies give fewer souls each time you killed them.

There was never a time in DS1 where I went thru the same enemies 15 times. Even when farming. Not a big factor

Heads up to those near the Dragonrider where all the big ass knights are. Theres a Ring of Binding before the entrance to the Blue Cathedral. You have to kill all 8 of the knights...took me about 45 mins...but that rings caps your HP loss at 75%!!!!!!!! Such a key item and worth fighting for

Cloranthy ring is a must have. Makes your stamina reload faster. I'm cool with losing health while hollow. It was worse in Demon Souls when it dropped to 50% after one death

Currently rocking the Cloranthy and the Binding. My DEX build is pretty good for stamina. Only issue is hes weak as fukk. Have yet to find a good early game weapon, Im using the Handaxe that dealing around 140....In DS1, I "copped" the Uchigatana off a merchant and was beasting early on
