Elysiume posted:Running through a bunch of crystals that don't have a very clear path while the geometry attempts to launch you into the abyss unless you're running at a 45 degree angel up and forwards sort of says "wrong way" to me. I actually had 50 prism stones before that; I'd bought them thinking they would be useful at some point (they weren't). The key is to watch the little falling debris, it splashes onto walkable ground and if you walk and wait you'll see what area you can walk on. I was deathly worried I would have tons of trouble getting that blue titanite slab, but I took my time and got it on the first go through. I used prism stones, but only dropped them so I could find my way back quicker.

Carwin posted:I agree that Dark Souls wanders into "cheap" territory occasionally. Those two silver knight archers on the rooftops in Anor Londo come to mind as well. Since everyone has trouble with this... They are incredibly easy. I died to them twice then figured something out that makes them completely trivial.  Just sprint up to the top and rush one of them. Keep your shield up and your back at an angle so if an arrow does hit you it'll just push you into the wall. Keep moving forward until you get within range so that they pull out their sword. But do not get onto their cat walk. Position as show in the picture above and they will take a swing with their sword and fall. Then repeat on the other one. Don't wear a bunch of lovely heavy armor or it's hard to close the gap.

I haven't gotten truly hosed off with this game until the two archers in anor londo. It wouldn't be so bad if the way leading up to them wasn't so tedious by the 5th time you've done it.

The.GreyWolf posted:How did you beat the Four Kings at that level? Same way you always do. Havel's armor, iron flesh, and an upgraded weapon in both hands (a +4 lightning large club in this case). Low level games really aren't much more difficult than normal ones. With 9 endurance sometimes I just don't have the stamina to block certain boss attacks, but really it isn't a huge deal.

Gentlemen  So which areas could you go after Anor Londo and talking to the very well weighted Gwynervere? So far I've beaten Great Wolf Sif, Moonlight Butterfly, Pinwheel, The Iron Golem, The buddy-cop comedy knights

I haven't ever done the Anor Lando sniping part alone but I've done it PRACTICALLY alone, since the people I was playing with were morons. Still, simply having more than one target for them to shoot at makes a huge difference.

Playing my new character after finishing the game once and went through all of Depths and Blighttown (top to bottom, ending with killing Queelag) with various other miscreants in jolly co-operation. Had probably teamed with 10 different people before I rang that bell and had an amazing time. I've apparently had some great luck with the online because I've hardly ever had any troubles summoning people or getting summoned, but hopefully the patch will improve things for everyone. In short best game great fun great tournament great experience.

I've never had problems with the basilisks, only with those mushroom fathers. Guess they're easy to run past, but your face gets wrecked if they manage to land a punch on you.

I haven't tried it, but would iron flesh work for the snipers? Getting near them is pretty easy, it just starts to be a major problem when you get to the upper ledge. If they can't knock you back with iron flesh on, you could theoretically just walk up to the guy on the right and beat the poo poo out of him. You could even wait to cast it until you've wedged yourself in the corner right next to him where neither can hit you with their bows.

Problem is you'd have to time it so you cast just after their arrows missed you, or you'll most likely get violated by those ridiculously large arrows before you could finish the spell.

Elysiume posted:I just ran fast and they never hit me. It prevents invaders from having the advantage of pulling back into a crowd of enemies and healing I think, and generally makes it so the defender has the upper hand when it comes to healing. It also makes healing miracles actually have a use beyond being a second healing source.

Yeah, I like that change. It makes the host more conscious of the phantoms they've summoned and that they need to take care of them as much as themselves if they want to keep them around.

Dumb question, but how does the online work? i've started a new char on my live account and have yet to be invaded even though I've been human almost the whole time, have yet to be summoned despite leaving my marker at bonfires/boss doors, and everytime I try to summon someone it tells me that the summon failed after a moment or two. I'm not exactly speed running and I'm not grinding/power leveling, so I don't know what's up. Also, can I be summoned into another's game if I'm hollow?

While this is true, if I'm tanking a boss so you can stand back and throw soul arrows at it undisturbed, it would be nice if you could do me a solid and give me a heal if I take some hits.

Only need 24 strength to 2-hand the monster, and it's surprisingly fast. I got a Black Knight Halberd, and was stoked to use it. My 24 strength that lets me 1-hand my zwei and 2-hand my greataxe will also let me 2-hand the halberd! Too bad it requires 18 dex.

I'm pretty sure the Tomb of Giants is after the Catacombs, Duke's Archives is in Londo, and Great Hollow is (I think?) accessible through Blighttown. One day I'll be able to 1-hand that Dragon King Greataxe...one day....

The two archers are really just as easy as I described with the lovely ms paint. Just sprint up in armor that lets you run. I usually kill the one on the left first. They walk off the ledge every time. Edit: Also I've had no troubles being summoned or invading. I'm SL 55 and its pretty much instant in the dukes archives at all times of day. I think it has to do with being the same level as the majority of people in the area. I alternate between helping and killing people. Dark Wraith is pretty fun.

I think I may have done something really stupid, but I hope there's a way to fix it. I saved at the first bonfire in Anor Londo. I made it through the top of the church to the main tower - the one that goes spins down two levels. I went all the way to the bottom, and lit the bonfire there, but didn't save. I died, and now I spawn at the first bonfire. The tower is all the way down, and I don't know how to get down there again. Is this where my journey ends? I can't wait for the multiplayer to start working. The wait times make me think that no one else is playing the game!
