Well, just picked up my first curse. Accidentally fell down a whole and I was surrounded by the critters, and when i tried to run, I ran through a small doorway and came face to face with a dead end and more basilisks, then all the ones i was running from blocked the door, trapping me.

For the UK people looking for a copy of the official guide, I'm gonna agree with the person who suggested checking your local Game store rather than online - they had at least three copies when I went in just now.

So is there a good place for dragon covenant people to place the dragon eye stones around sl 40? I've been having okay luck around sens fortress front gates, but I was wondering if there was an "official" spot. Goddamn why can't we just drop them in ash lake  Also heads up for anyone who wants to join this covenant, even though they specifically have to summon you, you can still get indicted when they lose. And people will freak the hell out on you because I guess they think you're supposed to be helpful? I've gotten lots of nice angry PSN mails because a dude will summon me thinking I'm going to be a white phantom and I just kick em down pits.

So how many daughters do you think she has? Queelag and Queelan got turned into topless spider chicks. Quelana's black gold hemmed armour is on a corpse next to ceaseless discharge (possibly another daughter). But you find her later on alive and not transformed as an trainer NPC.

I restarted the game right after ringing the second bell because I wanted to fix a couple mistakes I'd made (killing pyromancy trainer) and also try to stay underleveled .... Sadly I now find myself just having beaten Ceaseless Discharge at exactly the same level I'd been last time (31, not underleveled at all), though the only consolation is I now have pyromancy and stopped upping str/dex at 16 each and have a lot more end/vit. The oddest thing to me is how much easier the game was the second time through on normal difficulty - the only boss I didn't take down on my first attempt was the Taurus Demon (and that's only because on my first time through he glitched out and I never had to learn his timing to run back through and jump off the tower again). Capra, Queelag, Ceaseless Discharge, the Gargoyles - all seemed so easy this time around. Also, am I the only person who finds Blighttown easier from the normal entrance? The second time through I took a single death (got toxic and didn't care to use my single item to remove it, so I ran around killing dart guys while expending all my healing abilities until I died) to get through, and all of 10 minutes. I never really did figure out the proper path in blighttown from the secondary entrance. sizerp fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Oct 17, 2011 |

So I met Ceaseless Discharge and it was... weird? I don't know. I didn't die but the fight went nowhere and ended with me quitting from the menu. I grabbed the armor and turned to run, made it back to the little stone corridor and here's when it came to a halt: if I stand on one side, he does a fire breath attack that can't be blocked or avoided - it doesn't kill me, but it leaves me no time to attack; if I stand on the other, he slams his arm on the ground once or twice and then just stands there for a while but... his arm completely clips trough the ground and there's no way to hit it. How does this work?

Ohhh poo poo I messed up the Siegmeyer questline  In Lost Izalith, I jumped with him into the pit and killed the monsters after which he just says he failed me and dies  Apparently I should have let him fight by himself a bit. This sucks, but at least I'll have something to look forward to on the next playthrough.

Ixjuvin posted:Getting from the second bonfire in the Catacombs (you DID find it, right?) to the entrance of Giants only takes a minute or two if you're not scared of falling. Coming down from the bonfire, you can jump off the first bridge onto a ledge on the right, then walk onto the next ledge down. Enter a short cave, then from its end you can drop down (quite a ways but it only takes off 3/4ths of your health) onto a ledge in the wheel skeleton cavern. If you're lucky you can plunge-attack a wheel or two, then book it for the canyon that leads to Pinwheel's giant sarcophagus. Wait no, no I didn't find the second bonfire! I looked, too! Where is it? Looking forward to taking another shot at this place when I get home from work tonight. Also can't wait to work on my chaos fire whip, and maybe start a pure str/end character.

For those of you that particularly care about trophies and achievements, the 'acquire all rare weapons' achievement could conceivably be 'boostable' with the right coordination and partner and going out of your way to connect together--since you can drop items while a phantom to be picked up by another player. Also of note, the acquire all sorceries/miracles/pyromancies/weapons achievements appear to be cross-character, so each set does not have to be acquired by a single one of your characters.

So, is there any real reason the elemental weapons are so much better than the stat scaling ones? I mean, considering how useful the elemental damage is anyway, and that you don't have to boost str or dex above the minimum for the weapon, you'd think it'd be the other way. I guess I'm just slightly peeved at the "wasted" points ive put in str and dex.

I feel so conflicted. I'm really glad they're fixing the crystal ring shield for balance reasons but it was really hilarious rear end-blasting fools with my Captain America hubcap. With the wind-up animation on it, if its damage becomes less than great fireball... I'm not sure if I'll carry it anymore. It's essentially a slower-acting pyromancy (due to the limited range) with a few more uses. I'd rather have the left-hand slot for something else, like my bow. :/

Demon's Souls had this issue where pretty much every weapon that mattered had a scaling of Strength, Dex, or Faith of A or S. Why this was a problem I have no idea.

^^^ Someone mentioned it earlier, that a message on the From website indicated they were removing the crystal ring shield's reliance on your right-hand weapon for its damage. Frankly, it IS hilariously overpowered, especially when you're using a weapon like a lightning uchi that has two damage types and a bleed component.Count Bleck posted:From what I am aware, Strong Magic Shield makes you completely invincible for the entire duration of 20 seconds.

Is parrying in this game like Royal Guard in Devil May Cry 3 / 4 where you can parry basically anything? Or is it only smaller guys? In DMC a gigantic boss could swing at you and it'd just go TING and bounce off, but you needed absolute perfect timing.
