Any store that sells videogames in 2011 has a good chance of having it. Also

Holy loving christ, Blight Town is the worst goddamn thing I have done in a game in a long time. Ive been poisoned, knocked off bridges, set on fire, chased by so many goddamn bugs, almost skewered by a weird loving facehugger thing, and then I died, that was just the first time! Now I am back in the sewer, lost all my goddamn souls, and have to do it all again. I love this game but loving hell this is rough. Good thing I have humanity so I can get 10 flasks or else I don't think I would try it again right now. Also I don't know what they are called but the little things that grab you and bite you until you die, really piss me off. Odd thing is, I am not really that mad. I am seriously enjoying the whole thing. What is wrong with me. Edit: Oh god I found a bonfire! Yes, yes, yes, yes! So happy I took a plunge for an item and missed!

You're just happy that after years of being spoon-fed, hand-held and tutorialized upon you finally get to do something different. Not that I don't enjoy a good popcorn romp, but man is this series a breath of fresh air. Well, sulphuric suffocation smog, but you know what I mean.

There is a bonefire right next to the door with the white seal on it before you get in that area.

To the left of that is a brick wall in an archway. Hit it. e: I think the thing that I'm getting used to, and will be something you players of DeS will have to take longer to get used to, is the concept that no hub = no reason to hang in the first shrine's area. There's nothing there besides three NPCs, one of which doesn't do anything as far as I can tell, one provides an option covenant, and the other upgrades your health pots. It's all about getting deep, deep, deep into the dungeons and staying there. Dickweasel Alpha fucked around with this message at Oct 6, 2011 around 11:18 |

I see some rumble and a bunch of messages saying bonfire ahead though but no fire. Is it passed the door? Because I don't know how to open it.

Okay I've made my way through the sewers, but I'm almost certain theres going to be a boss fight past this white light wall.

Firelink Shrine is the first area the crow drops you off at, it's roughly equivalent to the Nexus from DeSouls.

I did get a shield and an axefrom the first fight though  edit: Nevermind worked out a way to beat the dude(get in real close) AzMiLion fucked around with this message at Oct 6, 2011 around 12:00 |

Apologies if this has been asked and answered a dozen times, but is it safe to kill the golden-armored man you rescue from the Undead church? I've heard that if you leave him be, he pulls a Yurt and starts killing some NPCs but I can't substantiate that. I need all the help I can get.

Good to know, still a long way off from that, but I've got a piddly little rusty piece of poo poo spear which is now a +5 and my Longsword is soon to join it. It doesn't feel right, using the fantastical gear and high-teir weapons as a Deprived. Stick with the basics, I say. Well, except for the Gargoyle Helm, until I can find something to fill it's place. Maybe just go back to wearing the Elite Knight gear.

Here be spoilers: http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Knight+Lautrec He does basically pull a mini-Yurt but it isn't permanent, and even sounds like an entertaining side-quest. Not like that Mephistopheles bullshit. I need you to go kill everyone in the Nexus. Okay, thanks. Here's an item.

Picked up the collector's edition today, just came out today in Australia. I just went to their collector's edition site to redeem the code so I can read the mini guide (I mean, it IS Dark Souls and all) and it keeps saying it can't find my code. gently caress.  Am I screwed or is there something I'm doing wrong?

I made a bad decision, and I think it permanently screwed me! I started as a pyromancer, then later went back to the tutorial area and tried trading stuff to Snuggly the Trading Crow. He wanted soft and warm stuff, and I figured, hey, this burning hand catalyst thing is probably warm, and there's certainly another one to find in the game for everyone else who didn't start as a pyromancer, just like every other catalyst. So I exchanged it for a titanite chunk.  Quite a bit later, I found the pryomancery merchant guy in a barrel. He won't sell me a replacement fire hand, and after exhausting all conversational options, he won't give me one. He starts on an explanation of pyromancy, then says, "Oh, right, sorry, you're already a pyromancer." Is there anywhere else to get a pyromancy item in the game? Or did I just totally block myself from pyro-ing?

This game has been nightmare fuel two nights in a row. Last night's dreams were more vivid too. What is this game doing to my psyche? On a side note, I had a really funny and sad first experience with being summoned to somebody's world. I had placed my sign just outside the small room where you encounter three rats on the way to the undead parish. I went in to fight these rats and got poisoned just as I killed the last rat. At the same time, I began to be summoned to another world. When it finally loaded me in the other world, I was still poisoned and could no longer use my own estus flasks (something I didn't know at the time!). My summoner had to stand and watch as I ran around in circles in a panic, my character stopping every time I hit mashed my estus flask button to do the *I don't know* action. My summoner could do nothing for me and probably thought I was a huge moron for ending up in his world only to die a slow agonizing death.

So I stopped in the thread to post two questions, and find one just a few posts above. How incredibly evil of Dark Souls to give the option to remove magic from my Pyromancer right from the start. I mean I never even used the fire spell before trading that drat glove. Oh well. Sounds like a pure-int magicless build to try. Second thing, do I really need a facebook account for preparetodie to collect CE stuff? Redchaostry fucked around with this message at Oct 6, 2011 around 12:49 |

Does anyone know where I can buy/grind a bow? I have a dead undead merchant, and the parish blacksmith doesn't have one.

Edit: It's not the giant crow at the shrine, it's a nest on a ledge back at the asylum. Edit2: Btw, is that Crow from Longest Journey in your avatar?

sighnoceros posted:The drake sword is not that important. You can pick up another sword that does almost as much damage (half of it magic), plus it scales with str/dex/mag at a C. It's a trek but it should be do-able at that point, I did it. I even upgraded it to see if the +1 version would fix it. Nope.

I am thinking of reserving a copy of the guide at a local gamestop to go pick up in a little while when it opens. Should I do this? I have a feeling if I ever want it, this is my only opportunity.

Where do you get the kneel gesture? I've been thinking about joining Blades of Darkmoon or Darkwraith, but I have no idea how hard The Four Kings are. And is there any reason not to give a smith a special soul or item they ask for?

So I spent an hour and a half farming 20k souls and bought the key at the parish. I got to the gate and I opened it, and I found the bonfire. But now I can't figure out the trick you guys were talking about to lure the enemies off the cliff. I go back to the steps and they just run up and smash me.
