How do I protect her from this cult of death ? Refuse to stand for any flag worship . Make it unpopular to send kids to die for shitty reasons . <| sep |> I ' ve played VII twice and still haven ' t seen everything ! <| sep |> What a news , I loved the playing flute super attack implanted in the series . <| sep |> It is there . I ' m curious too <| sep |> This is what I thought too ! People who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to find time for illness . Take care <| sep |> Well played for saying that . Your Dad should have called her out on it a long time ago though <| sep |> Why ? I want the physical copy ! <| sep |> Upgrade weapons as soon as you can , imo . Once you meet Andre the blacksmith you should take your primary weapon up to 5 since you can buy titanite shards from him anyways . Parrying is incredibly useful against a few particular enemies namely the Black Knights who you might have seen already , and their shinier brethren found in a later area . As a rule of thumb , if your enemy is humanoid , around your size , and has a lot of HP , parrying will be a useful tool . Keep it in your toolset at least . I don ' t know why you have difficulty aiming . are you not locking on ? Also controller is DEFINITELY the best way to play this game it ' s what the game was designed for . Even if you ' re not comfortable with them yet it ' s worth learning how to use one for this series . Kindle any bonfire near an area you find difficult . You ' re doing well for yourself if you have 6 stored up already at this point in my first playthrough I could barely keep more than 2 stored up without losing them in some unfortunate incident . Yes , you can leave any covenant you want . You are prompted to do so whenever you try to join a new covenant . You can also speak to a particular NPC in Undead Parish who will let you leave a covenant without joining a new one , but I ' ve never found any use for this . Take heed if you leave a covenant , you will lose some of the benefits associated with that covenant eg . if you ' ve offered 10 Sunlight Medals to the Sunlight Warrior covenant but then leave it , that total offering is cut down to 5 so you lose some of your work . Some special abilities gained via covenant can also be locked off unless you are joined to that covenant . But as for abandonment , you will not suffer a punishment beyond affecting the benefits of the covenant .
