Worth mentioning, it's a pain in the *** to get multiplayer going with a specific person for the first time of a session, but once you get it the first time, it gets easier from there on in that session. Make it a point to drop your Soulsigns in obscure locations that players don't travel to often or you'll get summoned by someone else. Also beware of invaders while searching for a sign. Certain areas are safe from invasions but not many.

Pretty normal to 2-shot the last boss in the game with a medium build. Could one-shot with a Red Tearstone Ring, but didn't really feel worth doing so and so many fail attempts due to the risk just for a video, not to mention Power Within.
Have also started playing another playthrough as a Mage, some bosses felt easier, however there's also more risk being involved as a Mage since being hit = death alot of times and I have only put maybe 3-4 levels into VIT. Sometimes even using Dusk Crown Ring which means you can take zero hits really.

Kinda aggravating really :| got him to half HP the 4th time and then he goes all "OHMGAWD YOU RIPOSTE'D ME! BUT IM GUNNA SWING THROUGH IT CAUSE IM A WHORESLUT!" *grumble*
Killed him, whoreslutting didnt work the 8th time!

Aint nobody got time for that. i feel your pain really...when i first fought him i parried his initial jump in attack...but never again...ever....I just stick to parrying his slow slashes and just rinse and repeat...unless he becomes a *** and grabs me or slashes through parry :|

I'm surprised you didn't even bother to 2 hand the weapon there before riposting senor. Very true I should make it more of a habbit, but I have not played too much with 2H riposte yet so sometimes I screwup my timing and hit a regular attack, because I attack too soon and the damage difference is very minor 3~4%
Was doing 2265 Riposte with 1-handing and 2-handing 2359 so it won't kill him in 1 riposte at the very least withouting using Red Tearstone ring.

2-handing an havel shield works wonders for Bed of Chaos too :) Went 1/1 on it on my 3rd playthrough on my melee character.
