It's more difficult because he's aggroed the whole way but as long as you get back to the place where the corpse was and then run back you should be able to get the special jumping animation.

Why not just run into the little side passage next to the Gold Hemmed set? I've always beat him there, it's super easy to get him into a loop of arm attacks. You just run a little ways towards him to bait the arm, then run back so it doesn't hit you.

I think he only does this if he's already started the attack animation when you get out of line of sight. If you stay in the tunnel while you fight him, he will always only attack through the hole, I think.

gently caress the Tomb of Giants Assholes. If even baby skeletons can't make me like this lovely place, you know that it is truly lovely, because they are the cutest thing ever. This is the first time playing Dark Souls that I legitimately want to just put my controller through my loving monitor.

Well doing the cheese way seems to result in him dieing near instantly for some bizarre reason. Normally I wouldn't wan to beat a boss like that but ceaseless discharge is boring and dumb.

Hooooly poo poo I've never had her survive after I attack. That's amazing.


And speaking of aggroing NPCs, fighting Blacksmith Andrei is amazing. He's like some loving boxer/wrestler and if he gets you into a corner he'll punch the poo poo and dropkick the gently caress out of you. I want to be able to play Dark Souls like that.

Good news: Once you have the second bonfire you no longer have to fight skeleton hounds. The one who attacks you on your way to the cactus skeletons from that bonfire will leap his own rear end off the ledge if you sprint by him. Also, Nito is a cinch.

In the next game I really want melee characters to be able to use attunement slots to do grapples, disarms, throws, etc.

I'll be hanging around Quelaag's Domain with my soul sign down if anyone is going to fight her tonight. Only need four more sunlight medals before I can move on to the next covenant. Edit - I'm SL32, so if you're lower/higher you probably know what you're doing and don't need my help anyway!

Question: If I leave the covenant via Oswald, will I still get the rank penalty? My eventual goal is to collect all the unique items from all the covenants and then keep Darkmoon as my main covenant, but I also wanted to do Darkmoon as soon as I got to Anor Londo instead of doing it last to get some sweet easy invasions in Tomb of the Giants.

Yes you still get the penalty if you leave through Oswald. What I would do is join the Darkmoon Blades, but don't rank up with them yet. Then do some invasions, switch covenants to get the rest of the loot, then switch back to DMB before moving on to NG+. If you're making a build that's going to use the Faith based weapon buffs then I would suggest killing Gwendolyn to get the Sunlight Blade miracle and then becoming a high ranking DMB in NG+.

Invited like six or eight people and not one of them connected. Sometimes my fog gate would stay up so I assume that meant people were trying to invade me before the belfry gargoyles but couldn't connect either. I put myself in DMZ mode because nobody else can go online if I forward the ports GFWL likes, like port 80? Doesn't everyone use that to connect to web pages? But I'm going to call dibs on it. Yeah sure.

Protip for Seath: Don't circle around him unless you really want his tail item (Moonlight Greatsword). The area directly behind him is the most dangerous place to be by far, his tail/tentacle thrashing is devastating.

*Ahem*, so let's say I wanted to slightly modify my character stats because of unforeseen balance changes, how would I go about doing this? Honestly I feel dirty considering this, but the Murakumo is just too heavy for my liking when I only have 25% encumbrance to work with. I really don't want to reroll over eight points of strength, but I could make good use of those points elsewhere. Do I basically have to use some shady trainer to do this, or is there an easier way? I'll probably just suck it up and reroll, but I have put a lot time in to this character. I guess if I can find a mule it wouldn't be so bad.
