I think you need to go to Specsavers if you think those beasties look alike. And I'm pretty sure the door doesn't open till it gets deaded. I was two busy running away to look to hard,I assumed it did sonic spins while my back was turned.

No worries, I guessed it was that. Nothing to be ashamed of, running away to make things fall down holes is a time-honoured tactic in these games. I often do it even when there are no holes for them to fall down. I had one bastard follow me a loooong way, I kept in front of him by the skin of my arse, and only got caught when a swamp slowed me down.

As for upgrade materials. A whole play through I found lots of gems and titanite's. The gems can be farmed from certain enemies but are rarer than titanite. You will eventually be able to buy all titanite once you find the ashes for the old lady. I found the ashes that enable the shopkeeper to sell me large titanite shards, so I'm able to get various weapons up to +6. I'm going to do that just for the sake of variety, really. Because of the relative scarcity of big shards I've only been using the black blade. Will vendors eventually stock twinkling titanite/scales too, which would be really handy, or do they remain drops? Edit: ahaaa... they must be farmed.

Yes all titanite can be bought at a hefty price if you can find the ashes except for slabs. There are only 8 slabs per new game.

Here's me doing fisticuffs with NomNom the Tall, with the help of a pickled onion. Then there's Slugwitch, Devourer of Jaffacakes. I thought I'd better get them in quick before the forum breathes its last.

Well, there was joy and a small pocket of severely bruised air in the magnet household this eve. The boss that has twatted me regularly every night since the above two, is now twatted and will stay thus, unless I get that far in NG+. I care little if it was not supposed to be a difficult boss. It dances no more. For a player of my calibre, that's enough.

Posted following overwhelming demand*. Not, of course, for the benefit of the two that I know have this game but don't play it. Hell, you may as well watch it, you won't get this far:

Nicely done and fat rolling too. She almost had you at one point but you recovered some how. It is one of the hardest bosses in the game. Probably in top 3 so if you can handle her then the rest of the bosses to come will be a piece of cake.

Well, thanks, that's encouraging, I'd got the impression that she wasn't regarded as particularly tough (though I disagreed, hardest fight I've had so far). I should stop watching the videos (and reading the comments of) these players that get through these fights without taking a scratch.

baah!, You made it look easy where's the challenge in that, I've done two bosses and I'm proud of myself.

You always make it look easy when the boss dies. Although I admit there were times there when it almost looked as if I knew what I was doing. Almost.

Yeah I'm looking forward to the DLC. It looks like we'll be going to the painted world of Ariamis that was in the first game. Maybe even Sif the great grey wolf as a boss? Probably not but there are wolves in that trailer. The guy with the moose antlers looks interesting. Only problem is its out at the same time as Battlefield 1.
