Damn you are making me want to play as a caster for my next playthrough! Where did you use the 3rd stone on? I'm at the boss and i haven't found anything that needs it. |
There are 2 spots for them in the bastille, 1 to get to the belfry and 1 in a large room with a statue. I used the first 1 in the forest of the giants, in a basement behind the crossbow trap.
Playing co-op with 2 other casters is awesome. Spells flying every where. I just find a ring for an extra spell slot, 6 total now, I added emit force into the mix. I couldn't resist taking a look down the well in Majula, I had just enough health now to survive the first drop with the silvercat ring. Ofcourse the game tricked me 1 step later by a beam breaking away, made it down to grave of the saints on the 2nd attempt, got another pharros lock stone as a reward.
Somehow I got summoned to another world down there, it all looked the same. I killed some stuff as a grey phantom but got overwhelmed and died. Back to my own game. Thanks for the heads up I guess, as I made it through to the second bonfire. Btw what's up with the pharros lock stone devices all over the place. I saved my 1 stone for No man's wharf. Either most of them are traps or fakes or I need a dozen stones down there. Next rat investation boss: I last quite a while, dodging/herding, using up most of my spells (damn obstacles kept getting in the way and I didn't have that extra spell slot ring yet) The overall boss health was still at 65% :/ So I switch to my weapons, get poisoned soon after, dead. I can really use a pyromancy glove here.
Still not content of leaving the gargoyles behind I go back there. First I put my summon sign down, see if anyone takes me there for some tips. Alas just down the Sinner's tower where I meet the boss. Quite a fast mover, I keep losing target, it's so dark. Then connection lost half way through, bah. Back I summon two helpers at the bonfire to get on with my goal but the game mockingly blocks of the entrance to the belfry... Since I have them anyway I take them with me down the sinner's tower. Good practice I guess, all is easy until the boss. I get killed instantly after entering, embarrassing. Visions of Capra demon :(
Anyway Belfry was the target, so I go up to the boss door there first this time. I get invaded by 2 grey spirits. Maybe they can help me with the boss, nah they rather just kill me. They would probably vanish anyway when I enter the mist? Second attempt, I summon someone. Not sure if I should wait for a second ally. An invader joins and kills my ally right as I vanguish the invader. A couple of minutes go by, a new summon sign appears. This time I'm not waiting and enter quickly. My ally tanks while I line up the shots with lightning spear, I love how it goes through multiple targets. I manage to survive drawing their attention and a 3rd one on my back through my highly trained dodge reflexes. Victory is sweet.
I saved at the Belfry bonfire, new area to explore yay. And still No man's wharf waiting for me.
