And i have 0 human effigies, god damn bosses are hard. Spent 9 trying to win at the lost bastille, was so close yet so far. I need gold pine resin.

Do you have any Bonfire Ascetics? If you do, you can boost the power of the Bonfire near the blacksmith on Lost Bastille and use a Rusted Coin on the enhanced dogs there. I farmed about 5 human effigies before they despawned. Also, all treasures you picked out in that vicinity will re-appear as well, so the spot with Gold Pine Resin will be back too.

Some bosses are really hard, others are complete pushoevers. On Earthen Peak both bosses are laughable. Then again, i'm using a full Drangleic set with Fire Longsword +10 . Once I have enough Twinkling Titanite i'm gonna boost Drangelic Sword, it's much better for regular mobs.

What do you mean by bonefire ascetics? Is it a specfic item or are you talking about a cattegory. I'm too lazy with bosses, i could have easily won one many tries espeically with co-op but i get hectic and do a mistake. Its really hard to balance the soreness from weight lifting, the stress from studying and the pain of dark souls. I need to play an easy game to feel good about myself.
