ok so putting a bluestone down just means you are offering help. There doesnt seem to be a way to get blue phant assistance when you're in physical. I tried it and the option was greyed out.
actually im gonna put my bluestone down for the spider as i took it down quite fast with help from flame protection shield. So that means players can see the blue sigil and if they need help they click it... ok starting to understand how this works now.
I tried range attacking him for a while but that wasnt really working tbh. so i just run in close and spear him. Best time to spear him is when hes charging for firestorm. Not too hard at all surprisingly.
was quite annoyed when the some red phantom obama guy stalked me in 2-1 i wouldnt have minded but he seemed to have a spell which throws me off cliffs as he did it to me twice. Didnt see it coming....i hope that wasnt "lag teleport" movement instead.

Not necessarily, I put down a Blue Stone once and invaded someone elses world
. Not sure if its a game bug but it meant I had to delay helping Edz during 3:2.

If you play your cards right in World 4, you can unlock a new vendor who will sell arrows at 5 souls a pop. Theres also a few spots at the beginning of 4-1 and 4-2 where you can farm about 5k of souls in a couple of minutes so your number of arrows will only be limited by the amount you can carry!

ehh? thats weird mustve been a glitch surely. if you put down your blue sigil then someone else sees it - they click it and you help them - is that right?
So how does invading other people's worlds work - isnt it a different stone? Red maybe?
Also how would you team up to invade??? (ie 2 or 3 players co-op invasion style)
I'll need to check my memory but for me this is GOTY so far
The death system is a little too easy though. All you need to do is make sure you dont carry "cash" (souls
) make sure its all in credit cards (soul stones) and when you die it all carries over to your next life.edit - i quite like the character emoticons they do as well
(waving, bowing etc)

How do you do those emoticons, still havent figured it out, says O, but that just roll/dodge.
Think if you hold down either O or X for like 3 seconds it brings up a list of emotes. Not 100% though.

Its supposed to be a different stone for invasion, however I ended up becoming one of the final level bosses (3-3). You'll know what I mean when you see him
. Not sure about teaming up though, I know the general tactic for a lot of people during invasion is to place stones for help against their invader and then just run about looking for allies however I think its only a high level thing as i've never personally encountered it.And yes, it is easily my goty too

Game fully in english.
Online haven't noticed huge problems, few lag spikes here and there and a couple of dropped players. Great game though, get it now. a lot of stuff comes out when its due here so you will miss out on this game if your not careful.

Hmm was just reading up on the online aspect and didnt see anything mention about the difference in soul lvls? does that matter, think im lvl 39-41 at the moment would i be able to enter someone elses game as a blue phantom and help if they are way lower?
Also read that you can 'trade' items, as in when u enter someones game you can drop items for them to pick up.
1 more thing, ive killed the 2 bosses in part 1 and 2 and the 1st 1 in part 3 would i be able to help someone else kill those bosses if i entered thier game?

Yes you would, I killed 3-2 in my game and then was able to help Edz and a few randoms.
Not 100% on the trade aspect though it sounds plausible. A lot of items have required stats so lower level characters would likely be unable to use a powerhouse such as the meat cleaver early on.
As for the level gap, i've heard its +/1 10%.

thats how player trading works apparently from what ive read. Its also a tactic for when u get invaded: drop an item then wait for red phantom to pick up = you backstab em.
As for online - you know when theres a problem when al the ghosts and messages dissapear and you cant write any messages. They do re-appear later though.

I am the knight, strength at 22, but with the ******* sword + 2 doesn't do much damage against mosters in 2.1 level.. Any one knows why? Do I need to get the dex up...
im surprised you killed anything swinging the sword on those tight corridors! Thats what i like about this game. You cant just use 1 weapon and max it out. Environment comes into it as well - you need to think
Use a spear (winged spear u get earlier) and you'll find it much easier. Pretty cheap to upgrade as well.

Any piercing weapon will work on them, like a rapier but as surfer said the winged spear from part 1 will do the most dmg, u can always 2 hand it for xtra dmg.
Generally people leave messages on the floor, i.e. "Blunt works best". Pick a weapon that matches the damage type to be more efficient. If however you're like me and can't be bothered just use some turp or stick stuff, or failing that get yourself a rune sword (Magical Properties mean it has more effect, even if its only a slashing weapon).
If I recall the only weapon in the game with dual damage types is the meat cleaver, with both blunt and slashing. Unfortunately its extremely slow meaning that against multiple groups of enemies you can suffer.

If you kill an invading phantom, they'll drop a black stone which will allow you to invade other people in return. Depending on your choices near the end of the game, there is also a red stone which allows you to enter a friends world as a black phantom.
ahh cheers for that!
as a black phantom though? so who are these red phantoms? ive been invaded by a player who looked like a red phantom
and..... just today i was down in 2-2 looking for my body when i see what looks like 3 red phantoms running to me. It was dark as hell in that tunnel! So of course i run... and use my ONLY splinter nexustone thingy to teleport back to the nexus not realizing until i get there 2 things! 1) i was in soul form anyway 2) i had hardly any souls so i could have just used the free nexus teleport thing you get.
bah! so after all that i'm no further on exp wise. But at least i didnt die so theres a chance i can get my body back and about 4k of souls (doesnt really bother me as its not that much - you dont seem to get much killing stuff in 2-2)
