I didn't think the crypts were that bad since it was so short by Rafiki 05/11/2014, 5:36pm PDT I got caught by a bell once and mobbed by 10 wraiths, but other than that I only died once or twice. I wouldn't recommend summoning the NPC phantom before the boss, he's fucking useless and only got me hit or killed. I actually really liked Drangleic Castle too, especially since you could parry pretty much everything and I like to. You can even parry the ruin sentries, but you can't counter-attack so you're better off just dodging and attacking. If you don't like the crypts, then the Dragon Shrine would probably make you want to pitch your controller through the monitor. I died a bunch, and when I finally finished it I went through 10 flasks and a shitload of healing items just to make it to the top. On the upside, you don't have to go that far into it to get the item to unlock the dragon covenant if you get pissed trying to reach the top. I've actually been having quite a bit of fun dueling for dragon scales because there's a lot of people right now even worse than me at dueling. You also get to see how unfair lag can be, and the unbelievable bullshit builds some people have. I fought someone that was dual wielding 2 giant polearms, and they hit me once and it was all over. I staggered so long that they just chained hits back and forth and I couldn't dodge or retaliate at all. Ridiculous! On the other hand, I traded the Retarded Frog Soul for the spotted whip that does a ton of poison damage, added more poison damage to it at the blacksmith, and leveled it up a few times, and now I can poison people in 2 hits. Good times. I do have a question about bonfire ascetics. I noticed I have like 17 in my inventory, and I was wondering if I just dumped them all into the Grave of Saints would that annihilate summoned players or is there a limit on how many can you use, or since it basically turns enemies into NG+++++++etc, would it only summon people who were at that level? Because if it would just summon regular players, I'm totally doing it.
