I picked this game up yesterday and have just beaten the gargoyle bell boss or whatever it is. Looking to do some multiplayer later on but I have no idea where the white soap stone is or how it works. Is the white soap stone a consumable now or is it similar to the blue stone in Demon Souls? Also it would seem as though they have made it nearly impossible to team up with friends in dark souls for co-op, any one having any luck at all or is it pretty much a no go?

Revitalized posted:So how are my rolls determined? Is it my equip burden? I want to be able to roll without my controller shaking in some medium armor. Yes it is to do with equip burder. By increasing stamina you will be able to equip heavier armor and still be able to move around alright. Alternatively you can get the ring of the dildo knight.

Can anyone tell me where I go to obtain some pyromancies? I need to start setting stuff on fire.

Elysiume posted:Aw, I hope he's not the one that fell off a cliff. I barely got into that place before getting double invaded and aggroing four things so I killed myself with a Ring of Sacrifice. It would be pretty hard to tell unless you were able to ask the person who invaded you, but I'm pretty sure you can still go to your bloodstain after you get killed by an invader but they still get souls/items anyway so I would say that they do.

Palleon posted:Well this game has hosed me over in a way that I have no idea how I'm supposed to recover from. I was in the depths, and got cursed by some toad thing, and died. Now I have 50% of my max HP, at a bonfire way the hell away from anywhere else, and I am having a lot of trouble getting back out of the depths, let along all the way through lower undeadburg. Is there any nearby way to cure this curse, or do I just have to try over and over again to fight my way back upstairs when any enemy can 2-3 hit kill me and there's always 3-4 in any given area? Just outside of the depths you can get to a merchant who sells an item to cure curse for 6000 souls. You will still have to get out of the depths but after that there is just one normal archer guy. When you get out of the depths there is a set of stairs and a door, you just have to go through that door and up the spiraling stairs and into the little water way where the merchant is directly on your right.

Red Mundus posted:Oh thank God. The ghost grab just seemed to quick and drat near unavoidable I was afraid enemies would start doing it more often. insta-kill grabs are fine as long as there is some warning. The ghost grab isn't that quick and can actually be easily stopped by just hitting the ghost before they fully extend their hooks out. You can hear when they do it too. Does absolutely suck though when you are fighting a ghost in front of you and next minute you get caught in the hooks from a ghost that has been hiding in a wall.

DeathSandwich posted:Reread that second line in the post you just quoted. I totally missed that part, guess I was too excited at the mentioning of those eyes of death actually doing something. I'm currently in the Tomb of Giants and I am constantly getting slaughtered by those big skeletons that crawl around on all fours. Any one have any tips for those guys? I've tried to take their heads off but that doesn't seem to work.

ericthebear posted:Where do I need to stand/be attacking for Sif? Do I apply the stab the rear end theory? When I fought sif I found that the only attack that he dominated me on was the one where he starts his swing from the left and does two full circles. The otheres (Right to left wings) I could block. So if he had the sword on his left side I would back away with my shield up and if he was doing the right to left swing I would charge in with my shield up and get right underneath him and take a few swings.

I just read on the wikidot something about vagrants(black phantom npc) that appear due to someone else dropping items in their world. Has anyone seen one of these black phantoms? It seems to me that no one would be dropping anything in dark souls due to the lack of an item burden etc.

Does anyone know if you have to be alive to see the vagrants or not? I'm assuming you probably would have to be.

Phenotype posted:I haven't seen anyone talk about their actual loadout here, so I'll ask: Does anyone here use two magic schools at once? I started as a cleric, but I've seen people rave about Pyromancy, and I'm pissed that Magic gets some of the support magics like Remedy that you'd think would be for clerics. I just can't see myself micromanaging rquip loads very often, and I don't think I can equip Right Hand sword, Left Hand Shield, 2 different talismans, and a bow at the same time. I'm currently rolling through as a sorcerer and for most areas I usually have my sorcery catalyst and the pyromancy flame on right hand and a shield and bow in my left. This is mostly because there is a limit to the amount of magic attacks you can have on your guy in the early game so I liked to take a few pyromancies with me as well. In areas where using a weapon is more ideal I'll usually have the sorcery catalyst and weapon in my right hand and a shield and catalyst in my left so that I can cast that magic weapon spell.

Roumba posted:If you've bought and used the 4 Transient Curses from the aqueduct merchant, plus the ones they give you at the start of New Londo, because I suck and die a lot, how do I hurt the ghosts? If you get cursed by the frogs your hp will be 50% of what it is now but you will also be able to hit the ghosts. There is a guy in New Londo that can cure curses or you can buy the purging stones from the woman in the aquaduct or farm them from clams in places like the ash lake. I think the ghosts drop the transient curses and also sometimes a ghost blade that lets you attack them without being cursed.

Elysiume posted:Antiquated Skirt is one of (if not the best) light armors in the game. Good choice. I have found that putting your sign as close to the area near the bonfire on the path towards the boss is the best way to do it. This is because in areas where a lot of people are getting summoned I was finding that most people were summoning 2 guys well before they got to the boss and wouldn't even see my sign if I put it just outside the boss. It's sort of a first in best dressed situation.

Elysiume posted:Mine is as early as physically possible. Not getting summoned, but it might just be a dry spell. I just need to assist 7 more people before I can be a comrade at arms with Solaire again Could be a combination of things, those being your level, the time your playing at and what server your on. On the wikidot it is still saying that you have to be within 10% of the other persons soul level as opposed to +- 10 levels, so at the low levels people would be doing gargoyles at (probably less than 20) you would have to pretty much be within 1 level of the people who are trying to summon you which greatly reduces your chances of being summoned. I'm not sure if that is actually the case though.

CHARONS BOAT RIDER posted:Time for more Amazing* Dark Souls fan art! That capra demon picture should be changed to just a picture of those two dogs. Capra demon himself is pretty easy to beat if it wasn't for those god drat dogs hitting you from behind and forcing you to drop your shield just as he smacks you in the face with both of his swords at once.

Schroeder91 posted:Oooohh, gotcha. Well, while I was waiting for someone to join, Mildred whoever spawned so I killed them, hopefully this will be enough for me to get Quelaag. If Mildred or I die, will they still be there for the next attempt? I found that with Mildred at the Quelaag fight that after dieing her sign wouldn't show up. When that happened I just quit to the menu and reloaded and it was there again.

Guliani is HOT posted:Anyone done a runthrough of New Londo without fighting? Just started a new dude and I was wondering if I could manage to lower the water and snag the firekeeper's soul down there. I've tried but have never been able to pull it off. In particular the room where you have to climb the ladder to get the key to lower the water is full of ghosts. I've read that you can get up the ladder without fighting them but every time I tried I was killed by ghosts getting up there. Not only that but the area where the firekeepers soul is you get ambushed from behind and in front by 4 ghosts.

Zodar posted:Is the bonfire in front of Darkmoon Gwyndolin supposed to be completely useless? It respawns me at the extinguished firekeeper's bonfire every time he kills me, and I have to trek all the way back to Sen's Fortress and warp from there because the bridge mechanism is out of reach. This is really tedious, especially against a boss that can stunlock your entire HP bar away in half a second. This might be a silly question but are you actually resting at the bonfire and not just lighting it? When I fought that boss and kept getting killed it kept taking me straight back to the bonfire in her room but I also hadn't killed the fire keeper at the first fire which I'm assuming you have. Might be a glitch caused by that.

Zodar posted:Resting at the bonfire, levelled up at it a few times. The bonfire keeper is dead, but I don't know why that would trigger this. Ramming my head into the boss wouldn't be so bad if the run wasn't 5x longer than the fights. It must just be a glitch or something. The only thing I would suggest that might make your trip a little shorter could be to not use the bonfire in that room at all. That way when you die you will be taken back to the last active bonfire you used and you can warp to the darkmoon bonfire.

You have to tell him that you aren't a cleric though other wise he will try to kill you after kicking you off a ledge. You can also farm them off the respawnable pinwheel enemies just before nitos tomb.

I was just reading through that rough guide and it says to take either the pendant or the master key as the starting gift, the pendant because it adds more to the plot later on. Is that really the case? I thought that was just a rumor that was going around. I ended up getting a few of them through the forest hunters covenant but I fed them to fraampt.

Vargs posted:Speaking of invading, does the trident buff nearby enemies when you're a red phantom? I was thinking of getting that plus the channeler set on a low level character and hanging out with the other channeler in the parish church, buffing hollows and tossing soul arrows. With the fattest character model. Hopefully the buff is just as good if you don't meet the weapon requirements as well, because gently caress if I'll have 24 int and a mess of str and dex by that level. I've seen a video on youtube where a red phantom uses the trident in the crystal caves to buff one of the crystal golems so it seems that it does work on hollows when you are a red phantom. From my own experimentation with other weapons that give R2 effects however you need to have the stats required for the weapon to use the effect (only tried with the stone great sword thing).

ChibiSoma posted:Uggggh, go away invader, I'm just trying to get out of here! Enemies can't attack invaders so he probably killed himself by jumping off a cliff due to being bored of waiting. Also you don't have to go through the area with the cat things in it after going up that ladder you can just back track through some of the trees that come to life and end up at the starting door. You don't need to be alive to talk to dusk either.

WalletBeef posted:So I was invading in near the Gargoyles tonight and the oddest thing happened ... I uh, got summoned. All I had was a red eye orb so it was pretty much impossible that I unknowingly put down my sign. I had a similar thing happen last night at gargoyles but it was the opposite. I had my summon sign down and then all of a sudden it said I was invading and ended up being a red phantom in this persons world instead of a white phantom. Also saw my first gravelords sign (in the depths) and also had it fail to invade. The one I found was hidden under some boxes and I luckily caught a glimpse of the (press x to enter world) text come up as I ran over it.
