The zweihander R1 is actually pretty good, but it takes some getting used to. It has an absurd hitbox--it's much longer than you'd think, and will hit just about everything on screen every time. It takes some practice to be able to time an R1 to connect before you get hit though.

Just finished off the Stray Demon and got the black knight sword from the BK near my cell. Got it to +3 and this thing is a goddamn damage machine! I also love the moveset on the halberd.

There's a post on Reddit (ewww, I know) about a global Dark Souls restart day, next Friday. The idea is for Dark Souls fans to log on and create a brand new character, and try to revitalize the game with players, like when it was a new release. I think this will be a good excuse for me to finally create that Karmic Justice suicide bomber build that I haven't gotten around to yet.

Nice. Friend of mine just started his first DS1 run to see if he would like to buy part 3, so good timing on this stuff.

nice, maybe i'll be able to actually throw down my summon sign with my zweihander character and get some bites. also, gently caress bed of chaos. i keep dying to platforming trying to get to the second glowy and its stupid as poo poo. i cant even do the bow method because i apparently missed the hawk ring and the closest warp back is daughters of chaos which would require me to either do the boss run from there every time or run all the way backward out of lost izalith to the hidden bonfire.

I don't recall needing the hawk ring, and in fact I seldom even remember to pick it up. I'm not even sure you need the stats to wield a bow competently.

Hitting the left glowy with a bow is super easy. If you did the left glowy first then I dunno, the right glowy might be much harder
|
# ? Jun 7, 2016 19:09 |

I did the right glowy first, it's just that all the wikis say you need the hawk ring to make the shot. I guess I'll try without it. This boss is the only place I would use a noclip code if this game had it. It's really stupid.

You want to stand just past the final pillar iirc. Wedge yourself in the corner so the boss can't hit you.

You can also do it with Firebombs. Much harder to aim, but it looks really cool if you pull it off.

The last time i played through, bed of chaos did something kind of weird (maybe this is intended behavior and i just forgot as the last time i fought it was like 2012?) - I hit the left side first, ran straight into the crumbling ground tiles and died, ran back and started the fight over and the left side started out dead so I just had to run to the right, kill that one, and go up the middle. The whole thing took like 3 minutes including bonfire runs.

The whole thing took like 3 minutes including bonfire runs. Yeah that's how most people do it, only quit out to the menu instead of dying. When you restart you will be outside the fog gate, with your progress preserved. So the usual method is: - slide down - take out the right side - quit - slide - left side - quit - slide - stand just to the right of the tree, bait the double arm swipe and follow the 2nd one in to collapse the floor - go back to the tree, bait the swipe again, follow the 2nd one in and fall down to the branch - roll through the branches and kill the bug. When you are next to the tree you are safe from everything but the Firestorm, which can be avoided by NOT PANICKING and staying off the lighted circles which appear before each column of flame. The not panicking part is the important part. Only other thing to watch out for doing the above method - the firestorm attack coming while you are running through the tunnel to kill the bug. It's really tough to avoid in there, but possible. You can hang out by the tree until she uses Firestorm, dodge it, then make your run. She rarely uses it twice in a row, or even within a minute or so of the last time.

I think the real problem is that both of the bonfires you can use to get back to the boss are complete rear end. Using the Lost Izalith bonfire means "I have to put on that loving ring and run all the way through the lava again," and using the Quelaag bonfire with the shortcut means "I have to get past that loving demon again." Seriously that one particular Titanite Demon is so irritating.

Can't you bait the jump attack and just roll under the Titanite Demon?

Humans Among Us posted:Can't you bait the jump attack and just roll under the Titanite Demon? Both of those routes can be run without fighting anything, but that Titanite Demon is taking up nearly the whole width of that walkway so he's trickier to run past without him tagging you, plus you have to dodge lightning shots effectively blind while running away from him. The route from the Izalith bonfire is way easier. The ring thing never bothered me because I usually have no need to take it off until I am entirely done with that area, since you can't warp to the Izalith bonfire. I HATE when I need to be there to finish farming Red Titanite or something and I forget and rest at the Bed of Chaos bonfire like a dumbass.

Was playing for a bit this morning to see how busy it was for the restart. Fairly steady invasions/summonbros in the Parish. I was unable to either summon or be summoned without encountering an Invader before reaching the boss gate. I keep forgetting that you can only go human at the bonfire. Heh. I'll be like - "I'll just clear things out then go Human and... *clears out level* *pops humanity* oh. poo poo."

Some jerk used his separation crystal right as we got to Kirk in the sewers, I don't know if he was trying to troll, or just didn't think I was playing seriously. But really, if you can't handle a naked dude in a pig mask rolling everywhere, maybe Dark Souls isn't for you. I did later get summoned a few times with my egg head, so some people are alright. Oh! Also I got help fighting the Capra Demon! Something I always wanted, but there were never any signs around. I mean sure the guy nearly died right away while I killed the dogs with a fireball, but still, it was nice to have help for once. Coming back to this game after being obsessed with Demon's Souls for awhile (three characters NG++) I just have to say parrying in this game is really kind.

I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that I've dumped hundreds of hours into dark souls games and have no idea how to parry. Like I'm not entirely sure what button you're supposed to push.

Was playing around today and my connectivity is garbage. All I can do is be invaded. Can't summon or be summoned. I made sure the following ports were open: 53, TCP & UDP 80, TCP 88, UDP 443, TCP 3074, TCP & UDP And I've tried using both PVP Watchdog and DSCM, neither helps. I can see other players being populated in DSCM and I know people are in the areas I'm trying in the same range. I can start the summon, but it fails with no message. Any thoughts?
