Dark Souls 2 is out now and it is a game you can buy and play.

The journey of the Cursed Undead is long and arduous, but with the help of others you may see your journey to its inevitable end. Here are some answers to common questions!
ALWAYS exhaust an NPC's dialogue before leaving them. Many NPCs don't give you items until the second or third time you try to talk to them. Some of them won't even become merchants or make covenants available until you try repeatedly!
Why does my weapon keep breaking?
Why are these Ruin Sentinels such bullshit?
How do I get a White Soapstone?
How do I get an Orange Soapstone?
Why would I ever make a Mundane weapon?

Why does my weapon keep breaking?
Spoiler:
The durability system in Dark Souls 2 is different than in previous games. Every time you rest at a bonfire your weapon's durability is restored (unless fully broken). Hitting things with your weapon lowers its durability. This includes walls and corpses! Avoid doing these things and your weapon will last a much longer time. In addition, weapons have different durabilities, and some weapons may simply be more fragile. If it continues to be a problem, consider finding a second weapon that you enjoy using to swap between the two, saving your strongest weapon for the toughest foes.
Why are these Ruin Sentinels such bullshit?
Spoiler:
For many players the Ruin Sentinels are the first roadblock boss. You should attempt to fight the first one entirely on the ledge you're standing on, as going down to the ground level will aggro the other two. I recommend attempting to dodge their attacks rather than block them, as they are strongly telegraphed but deplete much of your blocking stamina. They take the most damage from strike weapons such as maces and hammers. In addition, if you are capable of powerstancing maces, the L2 attack will stagger one when you hit with all 3 strikes. Good luck!
How do I get a White Soapstone?
Spoiler:
In the Forest of Fallen Giants, find a trustworthy man named Mild-Mannered Pate. Go through the door next to him and fight your way back out. When you talk to him again he will give you a white soapstone, and you can now be summoned for co-op!
In addition, you can break the door above the second bonfire in the Forest of Fallen Giants (the one with Merchant Hag Melentia). This door will lead to a room with a Small White Soapstone, which is like a White Soapstone, but smaller. Also it gives you less time for co-op, and different rewards.

How do I get an Orange Soapstone?
Spoiler:
You don't need one! Just go into the start menu, and go to message to tell all the skeletons how you feel!
Why would I ever make a Mundane weapon?
Spoiler:
Despite the stats screen of a Mundane infusion making it look undesirable, making a weapon Mundane gives it secret S scaling in your lowest stat. This makes Mundane scaling very effective for a character who has spread their points around. Mundane is best on weapons that have multiple hits or attack very quickly, like Santier's Spear, Avelyn, or Dagger.
