MadJackMcJack posted:Also, the dude was wearing the same armour as those stone statue dudes next to the elite knight armour. Is that stuff any good? It has very good defense and poise, but is of course incredibly heavy. You can't kill humans, mushrooms, and catbears as far as I know. I think everything else is ok.

Was I supposed to go to the Painted World straight from Anor Londo? I mean, even without fighting the boss or anything? I kinda want to get back, Anor Londo was really fun to fight enemies in

I ran into curse frogs today. I was going along happily in the depths, found a bonfire, was wondering when I was going to fight that giant rat (I hadn't found the shortcut chute yet), and I decided that instead of going through a white light door I'd go a different direction. Hmm is that some gushing water? What happens if I walk over oh poo poo I'm faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall ow. OK so these are the curse frogs, wow the curse frogs are really weak but curse builds up quick. Oh poo poo one came from behind and aaaah aaaah YOU HAVE DIED. CURSED. Well, it gave me an excuse to get the Firekeeper's Soul in New Londo before just using an item to cure my curse. Then I went down to Darkroot and killed a Hydra. Question: This area seems to lead up to the place behind the 20000soul door. Does that mean I never really have to buy that key? Is that even viable? Oh, I also got my rear end kicked by Stray Demon multiple times before I decided to just leave the goddamn place, I already got everything else I went to the Asylum for, like the Peculiar Doll, Crest Shield and ring. A boss with a one-shot attack and an almost one-shot at range isn't especially fun.

Gaah, game just froze for the first time. I could still open up XMB though. Anyone have problems with this as well? I've heard it's not uncommon. For me, that was the first in almost 30 hours of gameplay.

What the gently caress. I got to some new place in Anor Londo after putting the Lordvessel in place and can do practically no damage to the boars with my best weapon. Is there a reasonable order to where I should be going now i've placed the Lordvessel?

I was about to stop playing but decided to try one more invasion before I stopped. The guy is cornered in a room with enemies everywhere and refusing to come out, so I've run as far back as possible and have left my game idling while I make dinner. This game is cool.

You should be stuffing your weapon up their assholes to kill them or be using magic of some kind. As for where you should try right now, I'd say New Londo is one of the easier places to finish. Just wear your Covetous Gold Serpent ring so you never run out of transient curses.

So I was reading the last few (thousand) posts in the thread and people were upset that there was no reward for pumping Str and Dex past 18 or so for weapon requirements. What should I be pumping to swing a weapon faster, then? And if I'm not pumping Str or Dex much, does it matter whether I use a spear instead of a Str-scaling weapon?

Most of the info on stats is complete BS. Endurance and Vitality are 2 of the best stats to put into if you aren't going with magic, and once you have enough Str and Dex to wield the weapons you want.

I couldn't seem to buttstab it, which was weird. I took out the first one back in the undead parish really easily but can't get the angle on these, even if i'm directly behind them, slightly left/right, whatever. Also I never got that ring...it's from Sen's, right? I spent way too long there to miss it but I managed to anyway.

Okay, returned from the Painted World after killing King Jeremiah and laughing at his hat, but didn't kill a boss or really accomplish anything. Do I have to kill the lady at the end there to advance? She seemed nice enough to me At least I'm back in Anor Londo, might as well kill the boss here before going back. E: VVV Cool, I'd feel bad about killing her anyway

Shalinor posted:How is the item you get from Path Of The Dragon, as far as attacks go? Does it scale reasonably and stay useful? With 40 endurance (max sta.) it lasts around 3-4 seconds and I want to say it deals around 350-400 damage. It's fun to play with, but the stamina/damage ratio is nowhere near as good as an upgraded weapon. Sultan Tarquin posted:Welp. Don't join the Darkmoon Covenant. Seriously. I'm a kind of tanky melee guy and I just got a miracle I can't use and a talisman I can't equip. The main reason for joining the covenant is the blue eye orb that allows you to invade the world of people in the book of the guilty. It's sort of the PvP-hunter covenant, but I do agree that it should have some sort of nice melee reward for joining as well You do get a sword later though when you move up the ranks

It's at the bottom of the long staircase with multiple turns that boulders are rolling down. At the bottom, boulders should have filled up the pit allowing you to walk over them where you should see a body with the ring on a railing. G.I.

FirstPersonShitter posted:Ornstein and Smough are wrecking my day. I can get ornstein down to like 50% but then I run out of flasks or they pincer maneuver me. Smough seems like he is way way easier to kill than ornstein, but I want his armour so I have to kill Ornstein first and there just arent many openings to attack ornstein in. The solution to this boss, and all bosses is just summon two dudes (who hopefully aren't idiots)so you can split the bosses up and you can just destroy them easily. Though I was like level 70 at the time so maybe I was just over leveled, I even used a lightning zweihander and the lightning resistant guy still died in no time at all.

I'm not sure what the exact requirements are to get it, but I do know that after I used the talk option with the merchant there one time, he asked me if I wanted a pyromancy flame.

I've been killing the Capra Demon over and over as a White Phantom to join the Sunlight Warriors and have even put a message near the entrance saying, "Try: Blocking". When they summon me I greet and then raise my shield, lower it, raise it again over my message trying to get them to read it or maybe see my motion. Any time someone has died before I got in there to make goat hashbrowns, I see them rolling, getting hit mid-roll by a wolf and getting combo'd down. The worst is when they refuse to back off away from the Capra Demon after their roll has made them take tons of damage and the Demon has its focus on me and is unable to get through my guard. Why do people do this?

With upgrades, I saw a chart that said uniques can only go up to +5 and can't be ascended to have elemental properties. How can I tell if a weapon is unique like that, or is just a special/better version of a normal weapon. Like I've got the gargoyle tail axe, and it seems to act just like my battle axe, even requiring the same shard to upgrade. I don't want to spend my souls+shards getting it to +5 only to realise I can't go any further. Also argh gaping dragon argh stop eating the phantoms I summon. (this includes players) I need them as meat shields while I hit the legs argh.

This thread moves way too fast for me to keep up, so I apologize if this has been answered before, but I noticed something odd playing yesterday. While running around, at least 2-3 times, my character flashed with an orange aura for a moment, and I think it may have healed me, but I'm not sure. I thought it might have been someone rating one of the messages I left down, but upon checking my stone, no one has rated any of them yet. Can anyone explain what happened?
