Ugh gently caress I've got this game sitting at home waiting for me and I haven't played since the import. Now I need to figure out what class to play!! I seem to remember it being pretty easy with a magic user but then I got raped by those laser beam shooting shadow things and couldn't beat that level.  Basically what I'm asking for is a slight nudge in the "do this for the easiest time" direction.

Easiest way to beat this game is to get your magic to 10 buy soul arrow and then beat armor spider, take the shortcut ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXV47KoObyY ) straight down to flamelurker use soul arrow on him there is a safe spot (behind him and his left when you first enter the boss room) get there with thief ring behind him in a corner with a ribcage for defense, then on to dragon god. 4-1 can be beaten with a club, mace, or just your plain fist. Block with shield and then punch (takes about 3-4 punches a skellie), use the shortcut to get the regenerator's ring ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iDnktksr0E ) then pound the adjudicator with the crescent falchion you get in 4-1. 4-2 you need a bow then snipe the first reaper. Second reaper you can snipe from that walkway which gets rid of those laser beam shadows. Third reaper you just run/roll past him down the stairs and either turn around and kill him or move on to the old hero. Storm King is beaten easily with the sword run around in small circles when shot at by the manta rays and they'll miss you then return the attacks with sword. You can do both these worlds without leveling up at all. IBentMyWookie fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Apr 30, 2010 |

Yodzilla posted:Holy balls you make it sound so easy. It is pretty easy if you want to cheese it. I mean with two spells (soul arrow and anti magic field (you can get that spell with the storm king's soul and after you free saint urbain all in world 4) you can pretty much rock three of the 5 worlds. Only ones you can't literally speed through would be world 5 because it's so drat huge and world 1 which gets really difficult after the tower knight. World three is pathetically easy if you have anti magic field. Even world 5 is relatively easy if you skip the giant goblins with a thief ring and head straight for bosses. If you want an easy time with world 5 enemies just get the dragon bone smasher or keel smasher in the japan version and one hit all the enemies other than the giant goblins which I hate the most. The toughest boss is maneater which you can beat through cheese too if you shoot him through the fog door and a short bow you need like 300 arrows have the clever rat's ring and use makoto to get your health down to 30%~ then on the second maneater you use your heaviest dmg weapon to hit him only once then roll after he attacks. If you get good at dodging his pounces he's pretty easy. The key to boss fights is to attack only once or twice and then roll away except the Old Hero which you can swing away if you can position yourself directly between his legs he can't hit you while you're under him.

In 2-3, as long as the boss hasn't noticed you at the bottom path a single time since you shot the first arrow into him, every now and then, he will shift his gaze up to the top area for about 12 seconds to see if you're still there. You use that time to run out and smash whatever rubble is next in line. If he notices you at the bottom just once, though, he will never look up the top again, even if you run back up the top. After I realized I could use magic manually aimed to smash the rubble, I just did that, though. edit: did all of World 2 in body form, woo, got me a keel smasher. But the Online tenancy caused it to go back to neutral before I could show it to Scirvir. edit 2: Anyone got the asian version with a character that can join in on my SL71 character?

Actually for Storm King you just go inside the destroyed house and stay in one of the corners, you're 99% safe there to just sit and spam attack. I'm close to the end now, beat everything except 1-4 and all of World 5, purposely saved for the end. I've done all white tendency events in Worlds 1-4 as well, all while online (suck it). I'm still hesitant about stats since I don't like the idea of pumping magic sky-high, it's good but melee is way more satisfying, so I think I'll try to focus more on that. I don't think I'll be able to do sufficient damage with Moon/Crescent weapons, though, compared to other people.

Not sure if you're replying to me, but I was talking about Dragon God. Did Storm King by myself for the first time today, it was good, I used the safe spot right near the fog gate, though. Took a while.

Grabbed this game. Didn't get why everyone was saying it was so hard, since I had made it through the first boss, only dying twice (both by stupid mistakes on my own part). Then I ran along a wall, being chased by a dragon, and right into a cohort of archers and two heavily-armored axemen. Never stood a chance.

7u880y posted:It is the safest way for sure, but clearing the rubble with magic that requires manual aiming is a bother with how horrible the manual aim for magic is, and it just feels unintended that you can clear rubble that way, partially because bows can't damage the rubble and partially because you have to re-adjust your aim in between succesful hits to cause damage to the rubble with magic, despite obviously hitting the rubble.

Flamelurker was easily the most difficult boss for me to kill (haven't done 1-4 yet). Man Eater was easy due to warding and Meat Cleaver.

I did 1-4 as a pure melee character first time around and man did that guy suck. Second time I was a rapier wielding spellcaster. I had three fresh spices. Took me a while, but that rear end in a top hat went down. Now I'm going to be approaching him as a temple knight. I'm a little scared, because faith spells take forever.

Today I had something interesting happen to me. After getting rid of That fat, yellow guy in the shrine of storms, like clock work, a black phantom invades me. I see him and prepare to kill him with my ignite spell... he then bows to me and draws his sword. The closer I try to get to him the more he run away, I'm confused at this point. I then receive a message that says "you don't want to?" I have no idea what this mean, I think it's a trap, and go hunting. I don't see him after a while, but somehow I end up getting a bunch of souls... another message comes up saying "BP in pit dead", I'm so confused at this point I ask what he's doing, turns out he's helping me. My mind was blown, he was doing the work of a blue phantom... he let me kill him when we got to the Old One. Is this normal? because I'm lost to the whole Demon's Souls etiquette.

!amicable posted:Are hunters generally a good starting class? I was thinking temple knight would be cooler, but who knows. Your class really doesn't have a long term impact on the game. The classes that start with magic or miracles have a bit of an advantage very early on, but once you start leveling up it's basically irrelevant. As for worlds, I always recommend doing 1-1, 1-2, 4-1, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 in that order, and then clean up the rest afterward (saving world 5 for last). e: In case you don't know how the worlds are numbered: Crowbear posted:Starting with the Archstone for the palace world (Boletaria) as 1, they're numbered in order going up the stairs, then back down on the other side.

After picking up this game from someone in SA-Mart, I've spent only about an hour or so with it so far. I picked a knight so I can, you know, be the guy on the cover of the game. Was I not supposed to go towards the red-eyed knight yet? A few pages back someone mentions that you don't bother with him until later? But why put him there, letting him stare at me so early on. The flowchart made it seem like I might have a chance. After that tutorial, I figured it would be awhile until something like that happened again in the game. Why?? Why?? And it is okay if I die a lot, right? I may have been reading this thread to prematurely to getting this game. I realize that you can get your collected souls back if you go to the spot you've died (I've tried to get old red eyes 3 times before calling it quits). But since I'm still so early in the game, should I even recover those souls that I lost to red eyes (its about 2000 having to redo that beginning part of Boletaria 3 times). I have no idea why its 2000 for only killing about 20 or so dudes. I thought it would be 1 soul per 1 enemy killed. I'm a Zelda guy, not a big RPG guy.

Kramdar posted:After picking up this game from someone in SA-Mart, I've spent only about an hour or so with it so far. You should absolutely stay away from the red eye knight until much later in the game. The door behind him is locked and you don't get the key to it for a while. As for why he's there? It's because this is Demon's Souls, bitch, and Demon's Souls hates you  (but really, there are very very few bitch moves like that in the game. I can count on one hand the number of deaths I had that I considered unfair, and that's spread across 4 playthroughs)Dying a lot is absolutely part of the game. If you have the chance to get back to your bloodstain and pick up the souls you lost, there's absolutely not reason not to, but the thing to remember is that if you lose your souls and can't recover them, it's really not that big a deal and don't let it frustrate you. Every time you die, try and figure out what you did wrong and correct it. The biggest thing in this game is that you get better at it as you go along, and correcting your mistakes is the best way to do that. Souls are definitely not 1 per enemy, otherwise the later levels that require millions of souls each would be quite tedious

I just beat 1-1. It was easy once I stopped ramming my head against that read fucker. Honestly it's usually pretty clear where you should not go once you get 1-shotted. Also if you play online you can find neat notes. I also restarted as a thief cause, why not. I'm on as Bok_Choi I guess? Takin a break now, might play more later this week.

Well, I mean this works when you think that it might be how many Boletarian citizens that monster killed! Those walkin' dudes can't kill many people, but you figure the dragons and the major demons probably ate a buttload of moms and pops...

Finally slogged through world 5, got it to pure white and picked up Istarelle! I've been using a winged spear since 1-1 so now all the points pumped into faith will finally pay off. But encountered a horrible bug. I had Astarea's demon soul and went straight to Blacksmith Ed. When I got there, the soul was gone from my inventory as well as the Grey Demon Soul from Vanguard that was in there too! DON'T LEAVE DEMON SOULS IN YOUR INVENTORY. GIVE THEM TO STOCKPILE THOMAS
