The hardest part of co-op is keeping the host alive. One guy I had to run in front of Radahan's arrows because he kept dying after three shots. I wear heavy armor so I would jump in front of him and take one for the team and chug, run to the next place.

Yeah, all of this. I have been hanging out at the boss doors helping people and that’s the hardest part. A lot of them like to summon two of us which makes the boss even harder and then the host gets smoked while we are beating the hell out of the boss. Makes for some good laughs. I’m still using my first character and respecing it for different build. I’m at 284 on a Faith/Strength build which is pretty fun. I’ve kept my Dex pretty high, but it’s definitely not as fast as the bleed build. Beating bosses senseless is pretty fun though.

I smile when I get summoned by someone carrying a staff, that person will stand back and lob magic. After beating the game with magic and then arcane build, I have settled on a pure swordsmen. Right now I have all my characters setup in the same manner. I am wearing heavy armor, one of the great swords, bloodhound step and a willingness to run in an kick arse. My goal is to basically take as much damage and dish it out to help a low level character move forward without dying. I am currently doing that with a 45 level character, some armor and sword, and its a real challenge.

Hardest part when I build a new character is figuring out how to kill that Night Calvary to get the hound step when I am like level 30. I have come up with some interesting method. I have poisoned him. I have killed his horse while on the edge and he fell off the bridge, I have sniped him from a branch and last night I tricked him into jumping off a cliff.

The Night Calavary AI's reaction when it sees my character from across the bridge.
