Trying to beat Capra Demon after a long, stressful day of work isn't wise.

This might be heresy but I prefer the stages in Demon's Souls to the open world. Also, I know it's early but I haven't seen anything as terrifying as the Tower of Latria, specifically the 2nd stage, yet.

Go to the Deepwood grove and beat the boss of the area (The moonlight Butterfly) You'll get a key for doing this that unlocks the door in the watchtower before the taurus demon, beat another boss in this area to get another key that unlocks a door in the same area that takes you to the depths. Deepwood Grove is next to the blacksmith.

Is that the place where you need to 20k soul key? Is there an alternative to buying this key?

Drop the item you want to trade; if the crow responds positively, quit the game and reload. Your dropped item will be gone and your new item will be lying on the ground.

Valley of the drakes won't help you much. I would suggest getting to work on Sen's fortress, or work on creating a fire weapon. The drake blade starts showing its age real fast after you ring both bells. Sen's fortress will net you a lightning spear and put you on the right story path, while the catacombs blacksmith can help you make a fire weapon. Up to you which you would prefer.

I haven't been to Sen's yet but I do have a +10 halberd which I planned on making Lightning. Should I use it for something else since there's a lightning spear to be had soon? I have loads of green titanite shards FWIW, not sure where to cash those in though.

Pretty sure I'm the biggest dickhead alive. I'm camping the bonfire before Gravelord Nito in the tombs of giants and invading people's worlds as a darkwraith. These people are not prepared to deal it at all in that god forsaken area. I'm averaging 20,000 souls a kill because they just finished clearing the area. Then I use the gained humanity to kindle my bonfire so that when I fight Nito I'll have a million flasks ready.

Forgive my n00bness but I just joined the Darkwraiths and bought about 20 red stones. Does it work like Demon's, where you use it and invades only people in your zone or is it world wide? If it's the former, where should a level 51 use it at for optimal invasion frequency?

Really though, you should probably have a fire weapon and a lightning weapon anyway. There are major bosses resistant to each. Fire takes the less in demand red chunks/slabs, so you don't really have any excuse not to make one. I don't feel like getting to zweihander strength at the moment, so I am using a lightning claymore and a fire halberd. Works well.

Is this true? I heard that fire stuff is buried in Lost Izalith (i burned the only 2 on a Falchion of all things ughh).

Using the darkwraith dark hand soul suck attack on an invading player and then kicking them off a bridge is the best feeling.

Is that the only way to level up in this covenant? Not kill the guy you're invading but to use this hand to soul suck?

Also, besides the ones in the Old Asylum, where can I get mats for upgrading Fire weapons past +5?

It definitely increases the damage, and by more than just the 10 or whatever damage it says it does, I'm assuming it increases the multiplier used when calculating the damage from the right hand.

I think it was rumoured to do 2x RH damage?

Thanks, and yes it seems to do 2x the RH damage.

One more question (for now): The octopii dudes in lost Izalith are the one mobs that drop Red Titanite chunks correct? Besides the one-time-drops from the knights in Old Asylum. I wasted 2 chunks on a Flachion which I hate.

You can get chunks by doing PVP in the forest, at least I have been able to get a pretty good number of chunks and large shards by invading as part of the forest hunters covenant.

You can safely leave any covenant for another and come back later and rejoin. I believe you lose a rank with them if you leave though. Just don't attack any of their members and you'll be fine.

Once you get everything going the pvp in this is actually better than Demon's Souls so far. I've been invading as much as possible and it's surprising how little bullshit there actually is, though when you do meet the fog ring dude or the laggy guy who backstabs you from the front and spells are invsisible it's a swearing moment.

Maybe I am lame but I've been disconnecting vs fog ring invaders; it's just not fun.

You can only buy humanity once from the merchant in the sewer apparently. :negative:

Baby skeletons right before Nito in the Tomb of the Giants. Word of advice: farm what you need if you have a goal (30 humanity to get my dark set for instance). Once you beat Nito, to get back to that farm spot you'll need to trudge through the Catacombs and the Tomb again.

You can dodge but have your back near a wall so they slam into it, allowing you to attack. Or if you're a tank, you can just absorb it with your shield.

The Cheshire Cat posted:

Every non-demon/twinkling/scale weapon upgrade tier follows the same pattern - 1,1,2,2,3 (with the exception of the final, which is a slab instead of 3 chunks).

Also if you want to farm for chunks, it's much less painful at the very end area of the game. It's all black knights, they respawn unlike normal black knights, and they have a very high chance of dropping a chunk of a random colour (nearly always).

Awesome, thank you. It looks like I just need one more.

Question: the black knights are in the First Kiln? I'm dicking around before I enter an area of no return. If I open the First Kiln, I can still get out correct? All I have left before Gwyn is Seathe so I am close to endgame, just messing with PVP atm.

Melee users, what is your optimal end game, PVP outfit? I've got all the armor sets except for Dragonslayer, including a maxed out Antiquated skirt. Assuming I farm out Twinkling Titanite, is there an ideal melee outfit?

There are several sets that are really decent fully upgraded.

Black Iron is basically equivalent to Smough's in the Heavy category, weighing slightly less but giving slightly less poise

In medium you have Lautrec's Embraced, Kirk's Thorns, Black Knight, Ornstein's, and the Catarina all being great sets with slightly varying levels of resistance to weight/poise. Darkwraith is almost comparable to all of these, so if you like it you might as well upgrade it.

In light you have Antiquated, Witch Beatrice, Big Hats, and Hollow Thief (personal favorite but probably not that good) also being great.

So yeah go with something you like to look at because chances are fully upgraded your armor is pretty good!

Thanks for the info man. Much appreciated.

Paladin is also a great medium set if you know how to get it!
