Phew, I just beat the Bell Gargoyles at the top of the Undead Church and rangthe bell, it only took an hour and a half! I even managed to cut off the gargoyles tail and get the special weapon, which is also far worse than the +4 Battle Axe I used to kill the gargoyles so welp. Also to note if anyone stuck at the church boss hears the bell ring that means someone else just beat the boss and rang the bell, during the entire time I was stuck in that area I only heard the bell ring twice. Also don't consume the Firekeeper's Soul it apparently doesn't actually do what it says unless you give it to some NPC.

Ratios and Tendency posted:The posts from people loving up their game because they couldn't help but murder their traders and helpful npcs are hilarious, keep them coming. Aww is this true? The very first user message I got after the tutorial was "be wary attacking this guy" so of course I've been murdering every NPC I come across since. On a scale of screwed to screwed^10 how screwed am I?

How do I leave messages? Also, how does the game filter what messages I see? Can messages just not be placed close to each other? I assume I'm not seeing every message left since areas would be completely covered in them

This is the first time in a long time that when I beat a boss or make it to another bonfire, I am elated. Aside from a few frame rate hitches, fantastic game. Too bad I have to go to bed. With that said, I suck. I am about four hours played and entering undead parish I have died roughly 56 times easy.

Just don't kill the blacksmith (very obviously hammering a thing on an anvil) or you'll be screwed a lot further.

Is there any way to not get stun locked by enemies with big gently caress-off axes other than heavy armor? Does being more than 25% encumbered, and therefore having the lovely roll, have anything to do with it? That's like 90% of my deaths...one guy whacks me, I'm stun-locked, other guy whacks me, repeat ad naseum. DrBouvenstein fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Oct 5, 2011 |

Comrade Flynn posted:Oh god, what gift do I take? So many decisions. Gift choices: Master key: Mild sequence breaking, it's reuseable, you can eventually find keys that open all of its doors Pendant: A little more plot Black firebombs: If you want to kill the tutorial boss to get his hammer Nothing:  All of the other gifts are either consumables or found in the regular course of the game. If you want you can pick a Thief and choose Pendant and then you get the Mastery Key and the Pendant.

Dark Souls already offered you heavy armor as a solution to that. Don't want heavy armor? I don't think Dark Souls is going to bend over backward to accommodate you for some reason. raton fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Oct 5, 2011 |

Christ, I'm barely able to make any headway into the Undead Burg. I really want to enjoy this, but it's difficult in ways that don't make sense to me—I don't understand the whole rhythm to battle, and my attempts to play defensively are getting me killed more than haphazard flailing. And now I'm out of arrows so my next attempt is only going to be harder.

So I finally figured out where I'm going, sort of, but I don't know what's going on with my Estus flask. When I was resting and reviving at the Firelink shrine, it'd give me 10 charges, but as soon as I got to the Undead Burg it dropped be down to 5. What gives?

You can use humanity to kindle a bonfire so it always gives you 10 flasks. The one in Firelink starts off kindled.

So is there any purpose to (early/mid)Darkroot garden the first time through other than to get the key past Moonlight butterfly? All I got was the watchtower basement key that I already got and a divine ember. Hurray backtracking.

Is this bug happening for anyone else? Switching between R1 and L1 in too quick of a fashion occasionally messes up the next application of L1. Meaning, I'll hold L1 intending to raise my shield, but instead it interprets this as R1 (light attack.) This often results in me dying/losing a LOT of health. I just opened up and cleaned my controller a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not sure if it's a byproduct of me messing up my controller or not.

So from what I've gathered so far I THINK you can't do anything on-line unless you have gold. In that case, how much will I miss playing off-line? I know the player messages are the main thing I'm looking forward to. Is off-line still worth playing? I imagine yes, but want to be sure before I buy.

Nigulus Rex posted:Is it worth trying to kill havel in the Burg? I'm level 15 right now. He drops a ring that increases your max equip burden. He took me a while to kill but it was pretty easy because he's so loving slow. Just strafe around with your shield up till he attacks then get behind and backstab him. Rinse and repeat until he's dead. Red Mundus posted:So from what I've gathered so far I THINK you can't do anything on-line unless you have gold. In that case, how much will I miss playing off-line?

I'd say it's still worth playing, but you'll be missing out on some fun stuff. The messages and bloodstains are nice, but all the pvp stuff with covenants sounds awesome and it's always nice to have the option of summoning a friendly phantom if you need help for a boss.

You can't kill it that way, because eventually the tail will cut off, and to continue fighting the dragon you'll have to do it the manly way. On the plus side, you do get a badass sword when the tail comes off.

Not *that* many in the big scope of things, I think I used 75, just shoot one arrow, wait for him to settle down again, then fire another one. Took about 4-5 minutes. *edit* The tail that is, not the dragon proper.

It is pretty much the best sword of its kind in the game that's been discovered so far, high stat requirements but its damage is absurd.

Okay, I've got an incredibly retarded question about the bridge right before Dead Parish. How do you manually aim with a crossbow? I'm trying to attack the dragon's tail but there's nothing I can find anywhere that says how to just aim at something.

So I beat the Gaping Dragon(holy crap that goop it spits!) and am level 30 now. I felt so stupid, realizing that I didn't NEED to go down the hallway with all the loving frogs...all that was there was a humanity and a ring...though the ring is quite nice I should say. But being soul level 30 I gotta ask(spoilers for hidden area): Am I too low to take on the second-go Asylum? I found the boss on accident and he one shots me immediately after taking a lot of falling damage  I thought I was smart one time getting behind him but he blasted the room!This game is too good. I haven't had this much fun in a video game in years! Even if its a bit frustrating at times.

So I played a straightforward knight / heavy armor / two-handed weapon brute in Demon Souls and I figured hey, I'll try the other side of the spectrum this time, and started with a thief. I am a terrible, terrible thief--I am just awful at rolling out of the way of attacks, getting back-stabs in, etc.; does anyone have some major advice for this play-style or am I better off just restarted knight-style and going with what I know--being a tanky dickhead brute-forcing past horrible monsters?
