Nope. Hidden Weapon is Bell Keepers reward only. Have fun!


oh ok

I've already killed more than 30 mad warriors in belfry sol trying to get the set.  I should have done it in the covenant!

Getting 30 sunlight medals shouldn't be too bad.

The 500 kill covenant rewards can be bought in NG++.  Thankfully.
I just died on my first try at darklurker.  I got so close!  he had less than 1/10th of his health left and I got instant-killed by a laser thingy.  It was the first and only time I'd taken damage in the fight.

Now watch, I'm going to fight him over and over for the rest of the evening and not get anywhere near that close.  That's how it goes.  I'd put my money on my next 10 attempts end with zero damage on the boss.
this time I got him down to ONE HIT from death, and I choked.
DOWN TO ONE HIT AGAIN.  I see a recurring theme.  I get to the finish line and collapse!
Can I get some encouragement here?  My hands are shaking.  My poor junkie heart can't take it.
Repeat what you just did, then hit him one more time

lol thanks that's what I needed to hear. 

I had all the souls from the first two dark chasms of old plus at least four runs of the current one in a bloodstain near the abyss to darklurker, and I fell in a damn hole near the beginning.  For real.

I'm going to run out of human effigies  :(
Back up your save and restore it when you run out
how's that huh ?
Are you asking how to do that?

Yes but I can look it up if it comes to that.

btw I'm using black witch coat, warlock mask, bone king skirt (all my strongest dark armor).

ring of blades, chloranthy, flame quartz, dark quartz

dark rebel greatshield

broadsword +10 with charcoal pine resin

Any suggestions on setup?
I mean if you run out before you do a backup it'll be pointless so there's that
Unless you're really having trouble with the dark attacks, I'd go for more damage
I keep dying at the very end.  What ends up killing me is that the two darklurkers take opposite sides of the room and stay that way.  I keep running around hoping to find an opening to hit one of them, but it's impossible to see them both and I end up dying with one hit.  But when I watch vids, they get the two darklurkers to stay together but never say how they do it.  HOW?!?!?!?!?!
Well at the very least I'd switch a quartz ring for Flynn's and switch to Gold Pine Resin. Respeccing to quality/faith with Sunlight Blade would help even more. He's got so little HP on NG that you can negate a lot of opportunities to die by just killing him faster, especially if you manage to get a couple double hits in while he's splitting.
I don't know what you're watching, but I don't know of any way to "make" them stay together. Keep in mind you're watching someone's recording of when they were successful, you're not seeing their prior attempts where they maybe didn't get lucky with boss positioning.
I don't have any gold pine resin :(  In fact, I now don't have any resin of any kind.  Or humanity.  I went through all 30+ of them.  All deaths were when he had almost no health left - all because I get hit by the one I can't see after running around forever dodging and finally deciding to try to take a swing and BAM - dead. 

After more than 30 tries I still haven't had a fight where they stay together, so naturally I assumed that they were doing something to make that happen.  Mine separate and take opposite sides of the room and pretty much stay like that.  I've tried waiting it out by dodging for a long time but they never come back together.  A couple of times they got close but just separated again.  I can see them both sometimes If I stay very far away, but then I have no way to damage them.

Do you mean increase my damage offense or increase my physical damage defense?

The damage you do to the boss
I'm basically an expert at dodging their attacks at this point.  Trouble is, there's never a moment where I can stop dodging and live to tell about it.  I could probably go an hour if I just never tried to attack one of them.

I'm using ring of blades.  Is there another way to increase my damage?

If I was going to respec, wouldn't I go for caster?  That seems to be the only reason to respec period. 

I'll try flynn's.  I've never worn it before because I thought it only helped if you removed all your armor.  I might as well since I die with one hit regardless.
I still have every white soul I've picked up throughout the whole game, so I can just use some of those to buy some human effigies.
