I just made a cleric to hopefully build into a faithy-tanky-man. Starting equipment leaves something to be desired. Should I buy some chain mail?

I would usually spend time talking with my girlfriend while farming them, it takes no thought at all, and with the right clothes you can't be cursed as the curse bar becomes so long it really can't fill up all the way. As a side note, the vengeful spirit I just killed re-invaded, and I played fair and he got me fairly with a backstab. My bad, I'm not used to multiplayer yet with only a few summons in the cat covenant (mostly against people way higher level and way better equipped) and I got so nervous! So it looks like the sign must stay in their world until you leave or die. Cheers to you vengeful spirit! You deserve the win!

But seriously. As someone who has 0 humanity and 0 humanity items, and has gotten the last one down to about 10% HP three times now: gently caress O&S.

What should I put points into now? Vitality 26 Attunement 11 Endurance 31 Strength 15 Dexterity 15 Resistance 11 Intelligence 10 or something Faith 8 I use a lightning weapon so I don't really need Strength or Dexterity. I don't really care about casting spells either. Should I just keep putting points into endurance and vitality until they're like 50? Edit: by the way this game is fairly ruthless when it comes to PvP. Just today I was resting at a bonfire while searching the internet for some information, and I suddenly hear a backstab noise. I switch my monitor's source back to my Xbox and find out that my dude just got stabbed in the back. At a bonfire. And then I died. Minorkos fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Oct 17, 2011 |

After running back and forth for ages in the slime hallway, and getting not a single shard drop, I am calling bullshit on that being a decent farming area. Yes, they drop the green ones, and I guess another type, but it looks to be a ridiculously rare drop. I even popped 2 humanity items to try and improve my odds, but nada. Maybe that changes later when you have the ring that boosts drop rates, but by then, you've probably got access to better farming areas anyways.

I got the great door key and went through that, and got to the bonfire on the window ledge, but I can't seem to find anywhere else to go. Moving the stairs seems to do nothing important.

See now this is very very appealing. This is exactly what I wanted to do with the Gravelord Covenant, get up to SL70 and just be an ominous, deadly figure that other people can smash down until they actually succeed and feel like a million dollars. So I guess I gotta hit the Depths, to realize my dreams.  Edit: Or maybe get my rear end to the Chaos Covenant for a while and work on my sweet-rear end Pyromancy, I dunno.

Good to hear about the fix coming to matching conditions. I have barely done any invading or summoning/being summoned at all, so I really am curious about this: If I'm around soul level 48, what bosses do you think I'd have best results trying to be summoned for? Iron Golem or something like that?

Bear in mind that pyromancies have no stat requirements to learn. You might eventually want to invest in dex so you can whip out a bow when you need to, but that's just me.

What are the actual numbers on how resistance compares to vit? If the effective health gain was about the same resistance would seem useful because you would get effectively more health out of heals, but I take it they're not about the same.

I've got my hello kitty bandit ring on and a summon sign down in the bonfire room before O+S. I've been pulled into one player's forest world 3 times now (something something Satyr something) and they're using Havel's Shield, some mo-hawnkin' flaming axe, a witch hat, a yellow dress, and pyromancy. She's kicking some rear end. One time I flipped off the cliff on accident, and the next time I managed to kill her only because another forest phantom arrived and distracted her with pyromancy. She was lingering around the area every time I got pulled in. The last time, when I killed her, she indicted me.  There's no reason to be hanging around Human in that same area over and over unless you're trying to pull invaders.Then some other guy in stone giant armor, wielding a jagged ghost blade, summoned me to his world 3 times to fight O+S. We finally killed them on the last time, though Mega Smough 2-shotted me with his hammer of death. The connection was so laggy that sometimes enemies would just suddenly explode into souls around me and I wouldn't see the player in the room at all. I think that's how I managed to get humanity and souls for the boss kill even though I was dead. It was quite strange. I'm getting some use out of the Fog Ring I traded Snuggly for before they take it away, since this is probably the most PvP I'll do...

I am forever stuck with a Pyromancer's Flame +1 until I beat the game. I screwed myself when I first visited the Chaos Daughter by killing her servant by mistake, and then I sent the Pyromancer at Firelink to his doom by telling him about her existence. My best Pyromancy spell hits for 250ish damage. Really outside of buffs I'm not casting anything and I'm not running into too many issues.

Holy poo poo the O&S fight is pissing me off so much. Why? The loving camera. Here's the thing, I can get to the second stage of the fight no problem. But then the boss starts using some lighting AOE that is easy to avoid, as he is using the attack the lock-on disengages every. Single. loving. Time. This in turn causes the camera to glitch out and spin in an odd direction. Now either two things happen at this point: I run into a wall/pillar and lose all 800hp or I end up running INTO the boss and die. Sad thing is that this is a really, really fun boss battle and probably one of my favourite in the game but the camera and lovely lock-on is just killing any desire I have to go back and try. It also doesn't help that I have to kill those drat four knights and archer every time. My armour is fine, my weapons are devastating, but there is nothing I can do about that when the camera and lock-on gently caress up so much.

Man, watching that speedrun guy makes me feel bad at games. He was two-handing his drake sword, switched to one hand, parried a balder knight with his bare hand, switched back to two hands, and twoshotted the knight, all in the course of like four seconds.

Red Mundus posted:Holy poo poo the O&S fight is pissing me off so much. Why? You should watch for him flexing his knees so you can roll away before you lose lock-on, also there's a much closer bonfire in the palace that will mean you only have to kill 2 knights. Either you're missing that bonfire or you're missing a shortcut or you're just taking on knights you don't have to or something.

Is Havel's unreinforceable? If so, that's pretty unfortunate. I want to assist on O&S, but nobody's taking. First I couldn't assist on Iron Golem, now I can't assist on O&S. This is so frustrating! Do I need to be higher than 44?

The trip down past Quelaag is great the first time because at this point you're so far beyond the point of "how much further down does this go?!" and then you come out on the Demon Ruins and, at least for me, there was a distinct feeling of "Man, maybe I shouldn't be here" more than anywhere else in the game (although Tomb of the Giants probably would've gotten the same effect if I had explored there pre-Lordvessel). Crystal Cave could've had the same effect if you'd had to follow it steadily downwards like the storm drains in Blighttown, but they cut that off much more quickly. Still some nice scenery, though!

The fastest path from there to the boss is through the room with the dragon head trophies, and you only need to fight the knight at the door of that room and at the base of the stairs in it, everything else you can just run past.
