Sorry for all the questions, but hey the last one was about 1,000 replies ago so it's already long buried. So I just got a weapon to +5 and was going to do babby's first upgrade, but the blacksmith in the Parish only seems to do Raw or +6. Judging by an image I found (http://postimage.org/image/21hfz31pg/) it looks like the Raw path is a dead end, and I'm not sure if I should try and get it to +10 straight away if the higher tier upgrades aren't going to be available until much further in the game. Should I just let it sit at +5 until I find a way to give it a low-tier elemental upgrade?

Should I be bothering to raise Dex a lot more? I tend to die really quickly. I'm playing a Thief and have around 21 Dex, 14 Faith (for that fancy short sword), 13 Str, and probably the default in every other stat.

Few things truly warrant the use of this smiley. This is one of them: Chopped off all the Hydra's loving heads with my axe LIKE A BOSS  Also, the Crest shield from the knight in the Asylum mitigates the Hydra's ranged blasts 100%, so that was really helpful in getting in there.

So, I had been cheesing the two giant skeletons at fireshrine by landing on their head, making them ragdoll off the cliff. I created a new character and tried to do it again, and on the second one, instead of actually pulling it off, it just does a hop-dodge backwards off of a cliff. How convenient!

Wait until you can get an elemental upgrade, fire and lightning will double the amount of damage the weapon does. Fire can be gotten pretty early on from the skeleton smith in the catacombs and is very effective, as only a few bosses and enemies really resist it. quote:Should I be bothering to raise Dex a lot more?

Pump your vitality up to around 20 so you can survive a few hits and start working on getting your endurance up as well. More stamina means more rolling and higher equip burden means you'll move faster. While dexterity and strength will increase your damage output, you're going to see a greater benefit from upgrading weapons.

Hah. A good chunk of you already know the wierd Dragon Glitch where he dies suddenly if you shoot him. I didn't even have to do that. For some reason there was a skeleton archer. It was working in such a manner that I didn't have to lure any of the skeletons because the Dragon already kept dumping his fire all over it, but that archer kept firing. The game unintentionally threw me a bone. I was grinding that spot so i could save up for the seal to open up the spot in the forest. He died when i reached 12,000 souls, so his soul count filled the rest. That grinding spot is the best. I'm now level 37, with a Boars head and +3 Elite Armor, looking for. I'm coming back for that stray demon. Question. Just what exactly do you need to fully block Havel's attacks? Fargin Icehole fucked around with this message at 09:27 on Oct 9, 2011 |

Use a nice Magic Defense shield, run all the way to the right when you enter the encounter and stand in the corner, makes dodging/blocking her attacks really easy. After a handful of them, she'll land, and as you see her about to do so, sprint up and cleave the gently caress out of her. Only took 2 landings for me to get her within fatal range of just a couple easy Soul Arrows. e: haha, beaten!

G.I. Jaw posted:There's a bonfire at the bottom of Blighttown in the swamp area. Once you reach the bottom of the scaffolding, hug the wall to your right. You'll have to run through little bit of swamp but you'll hit a sewer tunnel with a bonfire just inside. Thank you so much. Now for some boss-fightin'! Another question: When can I replace the Drake Sword? Its 200 damage is (As of yet) unbeatable - The closest I've found is a 130something Greataxe (Which requires something silly like 32 STR to wield, I'm at 28 atm) but everything else seems rubbish.

Since the Drake Sword is a dragon weapon I'm pretty sure it can only be upgraded with dragon scales, which are extremely rare. If you find a good melee weapon and increase it to +5, you'll be able to enchant it with fire or lightning, which double the amount of damage it does - half physical, half elemental. In your example, the Great Axe would go from 130 to 260 damage (although it would actually be higher since it would already be at +5). Another thing to remember is that if you're two-handing a weapon, you get a 50% strength bonus so you only need 2/3 of the listed strength to wield it effectively. Larger weapons with high str requirements are also typically meant to be two-handed, since the attack animation for one-handed even with the requisite strength is pretty slow and leaves you open to get hit.

Get in his grill as soon as you see him and strafe to his right, don't stop until his weapon actually hits the ground and then backstab him. 4-5 backstabs should do the job. I've done it that way for 3 of my friends so far that insisted on blocking his rape attack.

Don't bother with the ruins for the time being, go there later. Also Sen's Fortress protip: use the traps against the enemies whenever possible.

If you want more powerful weapons you'll need to upgrade weaker ones. My Zweihander started out at like 130 damage now it's at +4 lightning and I can whomp enemies for 800 damage with a leaping attack. That bad boy killed the catacombs boss in two hits

Tarradax posted:So I guess I need to find elemental ember things and take them to the smith... Are there any available early in the game? You'll find a large ember behind the first butcher in The Depths, which will let the smith upgrade your weapons to +10, and a Divine Ember after killing the Moonlight Butterfly. I'm pretty sure the skeleton smith can upgrade weapons to fire without any embers though, you just need to provide him with a Green Titanite Shard (which handily enough is on a corpse just before you reach him!).

I found a second fire ember fairly deep in the Demon Ruins. It's in a chest guarded by several worm like enemies.

So, amor lando: What do you have to do to make it turn night time and get invaded by all the blue phantoms. It seems like every time I've been pulled in to fight them it was a guy and two white phantoms just standing around farming/gangbanging the blue spirits as they spawn in.

Incidentally, I've being meaning to use them to upgrade my Zweihander, but I don't know where a blacksmith who can do is. Where did you upgrade yours? The blacksmith that can create fire weapons is fairly far down the catacombs. There is a room that ends in a spiral staircase over what looks like a death pit, but actually isn't. If you roll towards a bump in the wall you'll land on a series of platforms and be able to fall the rest of the way safely. The platforms are too far to see normally the only hint you'll have is an item (a green titanite in case you don't already have one) that looks like its floating in midair. After you do so the blacksmith will bust down a wall so you can get out on the bottom floor. Also the Flame Zweihander is a loving amazing weapon and you'll laugh the first time you one-hit an invading phantom.

Can anyone give a more detailed direction to the bonfire starting when you are outside and on top of Sen's Fortress? A few people have tried to describe where it's at in the thread but I still haven't found it. If I get up there again and the rear end in a top hat who keeps throwing fire bomb's on me kills me again... It's just way too hard to go without a bonfire. And I think i've come up with the perfect comparison for this game... It's like the original legend of zelda but a poo poo load harder and for adults! I just can't remember a game in forever with this many secrets and pretty much a necessity for help regardless if its from forums or video.

It's at the place where you're getting your poo poo wrecked by that rear end in a top hat. Once you are outside, go up 2 or 3 staircases I think (run so he doesn't get a bead on you of course) and then drop off the side. You'll see a part of the wall crumbled, thats where you drop. There's usually a player sign in front of it.
