By the time you get to the boss fight it's too late. Believe me you're not missing out on anything, the Covenant does not work properly (and the Miracle, while cool looking, is nothing to write home about.)

Dr. Glasscock posted:Why did that guy use the soul giving items before fighting the dragon? Just efficient use of time. He was waiting for the dragon to jump down onto the bridge which takes a little bit, so he filled the time with some item use since he needed the souls for later.

G.I. Jaw posted:The covenant you left does not get mad at you if you leave by joining another covenant. However, if you rejoin later, you begin again at rank 1. Out of curiosity I checked to see if I could absolve myself before switching from the gravelord to the chaos servant. I didn't have to pay before, but afterwords the guy wanted like 100k worth of souls to absolve my sins. So I assume it does something when you abandon a covenant without using the absovler guy.

So I remember reading somewhere in here that there's a patch coming at the end of the month that'll fix multiplayer. Do we have a source for that or is that just wishful thinking?

DO IT TO IT posted:I like combining armor sets. In Demon's Souls I used the Old King guy's armor with the heavy Brushwood helmet (I think that's what it was called). Now, in Dark Souls, I'm using the Gold Hemmed leggings and hood combined with the Black Iron chestplate and gauntlets. Also that blue shield the first blacksmith sells, though I'd like to find something else. It makes me look like some kind of armored wraith and I think the stat balance you get is pretty nice. I AGREE.

Got done killing the Gargoyles, getting the axe and ringing the bell but now I have two questions. What stats do I need for that awesome gargoyle tail axe? Where do I go now? At the parish bonfire/blacksmith there is some lightning shooting douche I can't beat so I ran past him into some forest but I'm not sure I should be here. If I remember the guy who gave the hint at firelink said the second bell was underground, is that the catacombs underground or that giant elevator down to the blacksmith underground?

With a little more analysis, I believe that the giant set is probably one of the best in the game. It has excellent poise for its weight, and better defenses than havels. The real problem is that it requires twinkling titanite. For the zweihander lovers, you can wield a Zweihander, Hollow Soldier shield, pyro flame, composite bow, Mask of the father, and the other three pieces of giant armor along with the ring of favor and protection. That puts you exactly at 51.5 out of 102.1 at 40 endurance, enough to get the sub 50% move speed and roll. Would work well with a wood-grain ring. The fatty armor is still good. Very good even, especially considering it doesn't need to be upgraded. The giant set can save you a few precious pounds though, if you are trying to squeeze in as much as you can in your weight limit. Edit: Whoops, I can't multiply. You would need 41 endurance for that. Still, it isn't a bad reason to pick up one endurance. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Oct 17, 2011 |

Oh wow. I just got my eye of death to work in the undead burg on NG+. The guy seemed like his ng+ too with ringwraith clothes. Its nice to see that this actually works! First off a summoning noise happened and a fog gate rose up closing off the undead burg bonfire, then it told me vengeful spirit so and so has invaded. I feel bad, because I used the Fog ring, but I wanted to see if he would really give me an eye. No more fog ring now.

It might have some weird effect on movement speed, but I'll go ahead and say that's just an illusion and he's just doing it to kill time doing something, much like how people love jumping everywhere while traveling in some games despite the fact that it's not changing their speed/slowing them down maybe.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:One of the many missed opportunities in Dark Souls is the Gravelord Covenant. I really liked the idea of having people come to me, so I put my sign out in plain sight the middle of a clearing in the forest and got one invader (in Lautrec armor!!!), whom I killed immediately and got an eye for. Then I blew 2 Eyes of Death trying to get people to come in after them (no dice, Eyes are spent, 1 left, yikes). Just want lich form...

Duke's Archive is really obnoxious. Why yes I would LOVE to be sniped from everywhere and have magic tossed at me, thanks! e: AND they buff the archers so they do 50% damage AND everything runs away to the most obnoxious area AND the wizards are in initially unreachable positions AND you have to die to proceed AND you can't summon or invade or do multiplayer at all in here and who actually thought this area was fun or enjoyable in any way?

^^^ He disappears periodically. Whenever he's in, drop by for a chat!No homo posted:Grave lord is a cool idea, in concept, but absolutely hosed in game by poor design. First of all, you have no real feedback of how well your curse is doing besides random souls popping in on you. Secondly, the fact that you rely on needing someone to be in human form AND want to attempt PVP means you'll be stuck doing jack poo poo for awhile hoping the matchmaking stars align. It doesn't help much either when the item you need to do turn ins with are retardly rare, while other covenants require something trivial to farm, or let you barge in on other players directly. I've only seen one gravelord sign (in Tomb!) and I didn't know what it was at first. By the time I figured it out, it had disappeared. I haven't gotten to fight any gravelord beasties or players. (Thanks, p2p!)

I'm still pretty early in the game since I don't often have time to play stuff, but I have The Depths was one of the best game experiences I've had in recent memory. After I got cursed the first time, I was so scared of getting cursed again that I spent an hour farming humanity, bumped my humanity count up to like 8, then played through the level at a snail's pace throwing firebombs at Basilisks and being heart-poundingly terrified the whole time. I didn't wind up dying once, until I got creamed by the boss (thank god for that shortcut). I can't remember the last time a game kept me on my toes like that. I was really being careful, as if my actual goddamn life depended on it.

Anyone have a good spot for dropping a summon sign on gaping dragon? I am SL32 and I previously posted about how often I got pulled for Capra Demon. Not being summoned at all for an hour and a half is a strange feeling  The depths is so confusing I dont even know how to describe where I am. I dunno if there are multiple entrances to the boss but I'm dropping it right at the top of a stairway that leads down to a fog door on the lowest level of the boss room. Its 2 levels below where the mage guy is you gotta kill.
