Despite avoiding all the other poo poo that's been posted I decided I'd give this a look since its just a quick trailer

Is that possibly Ciaran @ 1:13 w/ the double daggers?

That's what I'm thinking, maybe. It's the same person peeling at the end, so I don't think it's Gough.

No it isn't. Check out the helmets, Potato Man (absolutely Gough) has three little triangles on each side and Double Daggers (most liikely Ciarin) has a larger, different-shaped hole. Also the armors are totally different.

That trailer was better than any game I've played lately, other than Dark Souls. Please hurry up.

Oh yeah, a friend and I were talking about Evergrace, one of the PS2 launch games designed by From. After seeing what they did with Demons Souls and Dark Souls, you can really see what they were trying to do back then. It's kind of neat.

Awesome trailer. That is definitely Gough at the end and it is pretty cool to see he actually has some dialogue.

I wonder who the woman narrator at the beginning is. I'm thinking it's Ciarin. What does the male narrator say though?

"Oolacile has brought the Abyss above [the surface?]"

EDIT: \/ Thats probably it, drat crappy headphones.

I'm pretty sure the female narrator is Dusk of Oolacile.

I always assumed it was Seath because

- the other gold golem with a chick in it is at the archives
- all of Seath's minions are crystallized, except the butterflies
- the hydras and the Picassas (purple monsters in the Archives) seem very similar to me. Snake like features, similar projectiles.
- Assuming you that SOMETHING happened to Dusk, it's not a leap to think that Seath would have been at fault. Which makes him imprisoning Oolacile and stashing some goons in Darkroot make sense.

I still think you're gonna end up supermaning her in the past - you lock her away and jettison her from her dying world while it goes to poo and gets eaten by a horrible blackness, then you end up freeing her by sheer, paradox filled coincidence in the future. It's too good of a plot point to pass up!

Seriously though, this DLC can't come out soon enough. How dare they cater to ungrateful PC gamers before giving their best to their loyal console followers!

For the record, the PC gamers that are constantly whining about the DS PC port kinda makes me wish From would just toss up a middle finger and say "Buy a console".

I'm actually torn between buying the PC version and waiting simply because I want that new content NOW!

The trailer also has the Hydra, and I'm too busy to check which ones, but I think also a few other bosses from the main game (was Ceaseless in there)? It was a PC trailer, not a DLC trailer so it makes sense they'd show off a little more.

You did. If I can rustle up the funds for this, I'm buying the PC port. I have quite a few people picking this up who have no idea what they are doing. I want to convince them to go Human just so I can make my entrance.

Help me fully pimp out my sorcerer. SL 72 with 40 intelligence and I am about to get the big Hat Logan catalyst/ armor set. I have the moonlight sword and I have twinkling titanite. Will this be able to upgrade this weapon? I feel like I should be using blue titanite to get myself an awesome magical weapon that scales with my stats. Any suggestions?


Edit: This is strange. Casting greater soul arrow with my sorcerers catalyst does 453 damage, and Logan's only 449. Granted Sorcerer's catalyst is at 211 mag. adjust, and Logan's at 209, but Logan's has an S magic stat while the Sorcerer catalyst only has an A. Is the difference between S and A that small or is something else at work here?

Anyway, this trailer sold me on getting the PC edition. I am not waiting until winter to get something this magnificent.

The Moonlight Greatsword upgrades by Dragon Scales. Assuming you've picked up every stray scale, killed all the hydras, killed all the zombie dragons and traded for one scale with the Asylum crow, you should have enough to bring it to +5, which is its max upgrade level (where it will have S Scaling with intelligence). There's the Forest Hydra, the Zombie dragon in Valley of Drakes, the Zombie Dragon in Painting Land, all the poo poo in Ash Lake (the Hydra drops two and there are a bunch scattered around the grounds), and there's a chest at the bottom of Blighttown behind the bonfire.

Moonlight Greatsword is pretty ridiculously awesome and you don't really need to get a Magic/Enchanted weapon to be cool.

Do not use Blue Titanite for a magic weapon. I guess you could use an enchanted one early on. But honestly a +15 weapon with a Magic Weapon sorcery on it is better.

That is if you have a combat stat of Str/Dex to feed the +15. Otherwise the MLGS is your best bet.

I'm going to take a stab at this and say that the base magic adjust for the Sorcerer's catalyst is higher and the scaling difference doesn't fully compensate, but I don't actually know what's up.

I'm all but certain that those scaling stats only refer to the damage done with the useless melee attack from the catalyst, the only actual thing that affects how effective magic is is the Mag. Adjust stat. You need more intelligence, believe it or not, for Logan's catalyst to be more effective. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is what's up.
