I agree! Those three hunters are so annoying. I had to separate them in order to get them all, but that wasn't easy. I managed to backstab and visc that one by the door though.

On a side note I just picked up DS2 with the DLCs. I didn't get the chance to play the DLCs on my ps3 so I figured it was about time. Let me know if anyone plays

Question:

How much of the game can be completed using Co-op?

Say my friend wants to get the game but she doesn't want to play alone because she doesn't think she can beat it by herself but she really wants to experience the game, is there a way to play through the entire game coop?

Obviously not counting the time before you get the bell.

why doesn't she just watch somebody beat it then?

Well, I'm quite sure she could beat the game alone if she really wanted to, but I guess she's spooked of the mythical "hardest game ever made" nonsense people spew out.
She likes playing games and she enjoys the god of war games, which means this game would be perfect since it's basicly an open-world exploration version of god of war (albeit much much MUCH less forgiving)

Marry her.

Beat the game for the first time last night, yay! I'm assuming NG+ mobs just hit harder/have more hp?

Spent close to 1.5 hours on Martyr Logarius, getting quite stomped until I accidentally press L2 instead of dodging when he charged at me from the air and I realize he can be parried in his charge...
He died that attempt, lol.

Just backdashed whatever he did until he jumped up, parried his charge and viscerated him 3-4 times and he died.
After figuring that out, the boss went from a 5/5 dif. to a 1-2/5 and a case of "how did I die to this dude 10+ times".

I just finished second last boss.. don't think I'm going to finish the game till I get all bosses and trophies done.

You have to finish the game at least 3 times in order to get the platinum trophy. Defeating the bosses before going to NG+ is a good idea though, since some of them can get pretty nasty in NG+.
