Nemesis Of Moles posted:Any hints on the gargoyle fight? I'll do fine till about half way then his buddy turns up and suddenly its impossible to land a single hit with all the loving Fire and spears and poo poo everywhere. I cut off their tail which helpsish, but not really enough. Get a weapon up to +2 or +3 and apply a temp. buff to it, if you've found any. Lightning-buffed +3 battleaxe had the first one down while the second one was still incoming. Also close in on it and constantly strafe counter-clockwise. Most attacks will miss you, those that don't can be blocked, and it'll be open for two or three hits after each attempt.

Gonna have to go back through Blighttown buddy  It's not that bad. If you take the giant wheel/lift thing near the bonfire you'll be a few ladders away from the Valley of Drakes exit which will get you back to firelink in a couple of minutes.

Why the gently caress are some black phantoms that invade unable to be targeted? Just had one destroy me because I couldn't target them at all, he just ran around me and back stabbed me twice.

I have to ask has anyone tried to kill the first boss with the broken sword? I was so close, and it was quite depressing when I died because of dumb stuff that I did. Is the weapon really worth it?

Vintersorg posted:Fuuuu, well, to the valley of drakes it is! Time to use these collected souls and upgrade my weapons. If you just want to get out you don't even have to fight anything in the valley of drakes. Just cross the bridge, take the stairs to the new londo ruins, then take the lift back up to firelink. Should be no combat at all once you get past the 3 fat dudes in the last tunnel of blighttown. Valkrye posted:Why the gently caress are some black phantoms that invade unable to be targeted? There's a ring that makes you partially invisible and unable to be targetted. It's pretty broken for PVP. Zain posted:I have to ask has anyone tried to kill the first boss with the broken sword? I was so close, and it was quite depressing when I died because of dumb stuff that I did. Not on a first playthrough, it takes a gazillion strength to use properly.

So, I turned today into Humanity farming day. I've got 20 liquid and 30 solid after about an hour of Lamiae hunting. I know some bonfires that are getting upgrades for no reason! :3

It isn't, I had it drop from the next boss and it requires an absurd amount of strength to use. There are other similar weapons that can be found in the game if you are going for a crazy high strength build.

Lovely stuff. Had my first invasion today. Was in Anor Londo and has put myself to human form to kindle my bonfire. I waited for the phantom when he invaded, and the idiot ran past me. So I waited a while and it was obvious he wasn't coming. So I had to inch my way through the level, until the snide prick backstabbed me. So I got myself ready and my shield up and he takes the last sliver of my health off with lightening damage through my shield. I didn't even get a chance to fight him. Boooring. I summoned two phantoms for the Ornstein and Smough fight and the three of us made short work of 'em. Great stuff. I also took the risk of upgrading my Battle Axe + 10 to a Lightening Battle Axe (which doesn't scale with strength, but adds 190 Lightening damage). Luckily it seems to be just as effecting as my Battle Axe + 10. Anyone know what it needed to upgrade a Lightening weapon? I've also invaded the world of the dickhead who killed the Firekeeper. I've not been able to get much damage done to him though, as he has his two cronies backing him up.

I have decided i'm tired of the drat drake sword and want to use something else. I've gotten my Claymore to +8 and can 1 hand it. This poo poo looks bad rear end. I'm also mixing and matching eastern/elite knight armor and I feel like a monster. I don't want to use that gold hemmed ring wraith poo poo, i'm a knight not a ninny. This is game of the decade.

Awwwww man I got really excited about the Crimson Robe set I picked up in Blighttown, since at base level it has better defenses than my black leather set and it kept me 0.5 under my 25% equip burden. Then I found out the whole loving set needs Twinkling Titanite to upgrade, which I only have 2 of, so my upgraded Black Leather set is actually better  Is there a place to farm Twinkling Titanite at some point after ringing the second bell?

Just reporting in that the ring of fog is game breakingly good for pvp. You become invisible. Even if they see you (you have a ghostly outline) they can never lock on target you. This really needs to be removed from this game. While its still here, I will continue to wear the gold rimmed ringwraith armor and pretend im a ghost.

Seizureman posted:Have I got a shot in hell at the black knight in the Undead Burg if I just came straight from the Asylum? It'll take some time, but yeah. All his attacks are dodgeable once you get used to them, so you just need to figure out how to constantly get behind him to backstab him to death. I beat both the Black Knights in the burg the first time I went through. Neither of them dropped anything good, the assholes

Guide says Man Eater Shells are the only things that drop them. Fairly rare at B rating. They're at the Ash Lake, which is at the bottom of The Great Hollow, which is at the bottom of Blight Town. Pain in the rear end to get to AND a pain in the rear end to fight.

Yeah I just checked and I guess that's my only option. I guess I'll do that once I clear the next 2 areas and get the ability to warp between bonfires so I don't have to trek all the way down there. Tokubetsu posted:Is it worth dealing with curse frogs to get the ring of the evil eye? They aren't that bad if you can get them alone or in small groups. And the ring is really nice to have while going through a new area.

Can I get some bonfire help in Blighttown? I've got the one on the bridge, which is pretty far away from anything useful it seems. I can get through the town no problem and last time I went through I got all the way to the wheel/lift thing that takes you back up. The only problem is i've no idea where else i'm meant to go and the bonfire is pretty far away. Also what's with the octopus/tentacle things, can I kill them or if I get close will they gently caress me up? I have no ranged.

You actually probably walked right past the bonfire on the way to the wheel. When you first descend into the swamp and take all the ladders down, if you just hug the right wall you'll eventually see a sewer-like opening with a bonfire just inside. Alternatively, if you're at the wheel, go out into the swamp and hug the left wall to find the same bonfire.

Filthy Monkey posted:I definitely agree with getting that hollow soldier shield to +5. The decreased stamina hit from blocking helps considerably. I am sure there are better shields, but the hollow soldier shield seemed to be a pretty good all rounder compared to a lot of the other shields I've found up to this point. I have a knight shield at +2 but just found the hollow shield. Is it worth leaving the knight shield and putting shards into the hollow?

Mega Comrade posted:I have a knight shield at +2 but just found the hollow shield. Is it worth leaving the knight shield and putting shards into the hollow? That said, the shards you use to get up to +5 are basically throwaway anyway. You can buy as many as you like from the blacksmith near the church. So it isn't really worth thinking too hard about.

Catacombs: I fought my way all the way to what I believe is the bottom. There's a titanite demon down here, and I know I can join the gravelord covenant if I go in the coffin in the room. I was looking for the Darkmoon Seance ring though. Have I missed it? I know there's a way to go behind a broken wall that is full of tiny ledges and skeleton archers. Don't have much to deal with them right now.
