That was just the CE apparently, just got the regular edition with on release date shipping. I don't need that extra stuff anyway. Hooray!

Preorders are automatically upgraded to the collector's edition, free of charge. It's why the CE is the same price as the regular.

No no no, a large enemy uses a crystal gecko-shaped lure. Like a giant, horrible angler fish.

Or a swarm of geckos surges around the corner and engulfs you.

You get the shipping e-mail when it gets shipped. Release day is (somehow cheaper) one-day shipping.

in this stream I'm watching right now he has a flaming hand spell in his items and equipped it. and it says there are 7 charges left.

The firey hand is the pryomancy spell weapon; the pryomancy version of catalysts and talismans.

Is there any difference/advantage/penalty to being Hallow? Aside from not being invaded?

Some NPCs will attack you on sight when Hollowed.

edit: also if you break the barrels right outside his fog wall there is some blue shiny critter that runs around. Kill it and you get some item upgrade items. Is this something that spoils?

That is a crystal gecko.

Ninja'd a Dark Knight's treasure and barely made it back out alive. I feel like a real thief now.

For content...It took me about 220 cheap arrows with the long-bow to kill the undead dragon. For some reason shooting him in the wings does a little more damage. After getting the dragon scale he drops I spent about 2 hours getting the 10k souls it takes to upgrade the drake sword. I need more scales...does the red dragon drop one? If so, what's the best way to kill him?

(Covenant Spoiler) Save your dragon scales if you want to be a Dragon-man and be buddies with Seath.

Okay. Um, how do you leap off a ledge? Is there a jump button now?

Sorry for the questions I haven't had a chance to play yet.

Walk off the ledge, attack when you're falling. Pressing the roll button while dashing will make you leap forward.

Can you explain what a vagrant is?

When you drop equipment, after a while it will spawn a vagrant for other players. It can drop humanity or better equipment than what you dropped.

You can increase the number of flasks you get at a particular bonfire if you kindle it (which costs Humanity I think?).

Kindling costs 1 point of humanity, but that bonfire is permanently kindled.

When I look at the gestures menu on the PS3 it shows Sixaxis style movements associated with each one. What does this mean? Can I execute the gestures by like holding a button and wagging my controller or what?

Yes, you can do gestures using the six-axis.

Resine is pretty ridiculous. I went from 14 damage to a Dark Knight to 58.

Also Divine weapons will permanently kill skeletons. And the morning star breaks them into bits so they have to reform after a hit. Very useful.

Astora's Sword counts as divine, doesn't it?

Astora's sword appears to be broken right now and the divine aspect of it is completely not applied. Tons of reports (including my own experience) of it being woefully underpowered and basically a neat name for a standard longsword.

However, I have a divine weapon and I'm not sure what was meant about permanently killing skeletons. Is that just the ones that DO get ressed from necromancers? Because I'm pretty sure I popped the bros in the graveyard right near the Shrine and they get back up every time I go back.

Huh, it didn't seem broken to me, I'm one-shotting guys that took 2 longsword hits (both unupgraded). I'll just leave the skeletons alone for now, though.

^^^ You can jump over to it and inch along the thin parts.

Blarfo posted:

If you're faith based it still seems to gain base damage bonus from increased faith so that may be why you feel like you're doing more damage. I don't know though. I tested the weapon over and over on the same enemies using various other weapons with similar stats and Astora's always came out on the bottom, faring only better than standard ones just enough which is mostly explained by my high faith and the fact that I upgraded it twice.

I've only got the 14 faith required to use it properly. vv

My highest stat is 18 dexterity. I got thrown off the castle by the Taurus demon and have been taking my rage out on mooks and hidden items.

Anyone know why I can't use the black eye orb? I picked it up after I found the mute maiden dead in firelink shrine, or whatever it's called.

I'm undead, I removed myself from all covenants and I have the white soapstone. But I can't use cracked red eye stone nor can I use the black eye orb. I was able to use the cracked red eye stone the other day, so I'm a bit confused.

The Black Eye Orb has one specific use, it's not for general invading.

Ah, right, makes sense. I still can't use it anywhere, though. Also, still can't use cracked red eye stone fragments to invade.

Forgot to add that it's a specific use in a specific spot, in a specific area (location) the room before Smough and Ornstein. You pretty much have to go to that spot at some point, though. You'll get a prompt about the orb.

Still no idea why your red eye stones can't be used.
