What are the best places to invade hosts and get a kill

dark-souls-2

Using cracked red orbs, I would like to know where are the best places to invade hosts and manage to get a kill eventually using monsters and traps to get tokens of spite.

I am not very good at duelling but would like to practice so I need to get a kill to join the brotherhood covenant.

I don't know what lvl are you, but I would suggest to choose an area that you passed recently. And now, some places where (IMHO) invading is easier:

  1. Iron keep - Iron Hearth Hall: take the small door on the left, kill the Alonne captain and then kill the the two Ironclad on the bridge. Keep going until the large lava room and clear the Alonne archer on the right. If you invade here, you can use platforms and / or fire to help you.

  2. Drangleic Castle - King's Gate: once out the bonefire room, take the first on the right (the room full of sentilens "sleeping"). You can invade here, but do not cross the door on the right or you will invade the area before the next boss.

  3. Black Gulch - Black Gulch Mouth or Hidden Chamber: if you use fire you can set the oil (I guess) on fire (but possibly after the mob came out), use poisoning statues to trap him or other mobs;

  4. Sinner's Rise - The Saltfort: take stairs on the right, than kill the 4 undeads and take the elevator. Once down you can start invading.

I don't know what is your build, but I have few tips if you have trouble invading.

  1. Keep the Black Separation Crystal and be ready to use it if the situation get bad. He can heal, but you can leave his world;
  2. You can invade for 10 minutes, even if he summons others to help him you can still hide somewhere and use the environment or other mobs;
  3. Don't just focus on one build: be ready to go close combat and try a back-stab or a shield-break if the situation require it, but also be ready to have an alternative to melee combat and remember that your spells cannot hit other mobs;
  4. Find your own style (or copy it from an opponent you like);
  5. Play with distance: stay close enough to prevent him from healing, but far enough to prevent being hit;
  6. Understand his style and play against him. For example: some just wait you to hit to counter-attack and finish you in one hit (usually armed with a parry knife or a small shield on the left and a big weapon on the right), others just aim to finish you with spells, and so on.

Good luck! ;)
