Oh. You have missed at least one boss and probably an entire area.

Got it, after some exploring wandered across the crystal sage and have indeed opened up a new area

firesword abyss watcher is taking the piss. hax

Finished last night. Overall is lovely looking with some interesting mechanics and some fantastic boss fights. But it lacks it's own identity and relies too much on call backs, almost like it doesn't have confidence in its own story.
It's also very easy for the most part with only some sticking points coming with some of the latter bosses and some of the ice Knights which are more like mini bosses themselves.
Clocked it in 40 hours with some coop mucking about included.
Like most here, there isn't enough to jump back in with another build.
Disappointing some of the best bosses are optional.

Deacons dead. Fun boss that. Geared up to fight abyss watchers again (not sure correct tactic but i'm going very light armour high fire def) and then got invaded. Guy appeared to be using hand axe. Surprised i won! not pvp'ved much. Would he have to be similar level to me to invade me?

Na i googled the name, not an NPC. Plus he approached while i was afk and waited until i gestured to commence fight. Plus did that classic thing of waggling joystick to run in a little circle and also unequipped/equipped shield really fast. anyway i went on to beat abyss watcher woo. then finished watching marcella which was awesome, i predicted the killer! go me.

Ocieros was a damaged creature just longing for extermination, tbf. 

I pity tha SL1 fool that crosses the Champ G though: he gonna impregnate yo' ass with his giant boot/blade, till you weep for that dingy unwashed test-tube that you call mother.

And killed pontiff first try at sl1. Who said he was hard?

Enjoying Carthus Catacombs. It's mental.

Aldrich is giving me issues.    Not really had a boss fight that after a few goes I haven't nailed.  Quite a few i've completed on the first attempt.  Aldrich is just annoying me now....

It's one of those fights where you need to do 2 or 3 hits and not be greedy, hit and run before he does his disappearance attack.

What I did was try and go close and behind to fuck it, if it starts arrows (channels the attack), I exit lock on and run to a corner. I lock again and strafe and roll forwards as arrows get nearer. By the time arrows stop I'm next to the bastard again. Only problem is when he does the beams. Then you have to watch how many he does and time rolls better.

It counts!

It's probably a good idea to wear clothes, but since almost everything she did killed me I went naked. The dark stuff shouldn't be one shooting from full health if you're set up correctly!

Which attack is killing you? I didn't enjoy that fight first time around because it sometimes felt I was just running away from arrows.

I've had him twice this afternoon where when he hits his second phase he just spams the arrows...       Its frustrating becuase its my poor timing at dodging or healing at the wrong time.  Just can't shake it....

I'd suggest only healing after she goes underground. Also, make sure you close space as soon as she appears - you can stop her casting homing magic if you get straight up in her face. The arrow attack can be dodged, as it takes a little time to turn around (and can be avoided entirely in phase one by standing behind her). When she's on fire, you will have to spend a fair bit of time dodging, but there's no need to run all the way away.

It's a he, dammit voices!
