evilalien posted:Kick them to break their guard and then attack. In general, the movement attack combos seem a bit finicky. I can barely ever get the "attack then back cartwheel" move to go off when in combat, though it's easy enough to do out of combat. Regardless, parry/riposte'ing the spear guys is by far the easiest way through. You get really good at it, if you sit at the nearby bonfire and farm the local dudes for a while (a full run-through of the immediate area gets you around 1600 souls, which'll buy you a TON of arrows, firebombs, throwing daggers, etc from that merchant). No idea if there are other bonfire/merchant pairings like this later, but I've been here for quite a while, just stocking up. EDIT: Incidentally, I highly recommend new players do the same. In the hour or two I've been fiddling around (the first real bonfire in the Undead region), I've gotten a spear from the spear guys, a crossbow from the crossbow'er right next to the bonfire, their entire armor set (if you want it for some reason), a nice shield (also from the spear guys), etc. Spear + shield then makes the shield guys, and a ton of others, absolutely trivial. You can attack while still shielding, it is wonderful. Shalinor fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Oct 10, 2011 |

Heavy neutrino posted:The Black Knight is going to be extremely hard until you get a shield with enough stability to withstand his combos unless you have perfect dodge timing or something. ... I still have no idea how to beat him, though. None of my attacks do actual damage, they all bounce off his armor. Am I really supposed to whittle him down that way? I guess I could, but I always get bored, and then I die trying to take him out in some fantastically amazing (but doomed to failure) way. Is it possible to back-stab him? Every time I try, I end up doing a normal attack at his butt, and then he turns around and ends me. Also, where is this guy with a giant club? I'm up to the Taurus Demon, and I think I've cleared everything there is over up to him.

Will it actually screw me later on? I suppose I am early enough in that I could still restart. Go with a more burly class instead of an agil class (or at least go with a magic class - didn't realize it would be ages until I could find my first spell), etc. My goal this time is to be a magic-throwing metal god that, once out of magic, just rushes in and kicks people dramatically off tall things.

When you kindle a bonfire, does it then give you 10 flasks from then on, period? Even if you die, quit, reload and come back later, etc? Or is it a somewhat temporary upgrade? Also, every few minutes, a weird golden light beam seems to come from nowhere in particular pointed at my head (or come out of my head), along with a strange noise. Once, I thought it gave me a point of humanity, but not every time. What the heck is that thing? Is that what happens when someone rates a message I've dropped, or... what? Is it a good thing? EDIT: and is there a hint anywhere in the game about what you get if you (involving the first dragon you meet on the bridge) shoot off the dragon's tail, or is that purely an easter egg a dev dropped in? It seemed really odd, how the reward just pops into your inventory. I was expecting some drawn out hunt for what fell down, taking it to a blacksmith to forge, yadda yadda.

Dave Grolsch posted:There is a first person aiming mode, yes. I think it's L1 on the PS3? Dunno about the 360, but it's gotta be there. Anywho, I have a recommendation for new players. If you're getting to the Taurus Demon with 1 or 2 flasks at most - slow down. Stay at that bonfire in the middle of the Undead area, and just get used to how the enemies work there. Notice how easily you can separate the group of dudes at the end of the firebombed walkway (one of them starts running at you the second you even set foot on the walkway), figure out how to take how the spear guys consistently (you really need to riposte them, magic them, or spear/shield them right back), etc. You'll very quickly figure out the range at which enemies come running, which is important later to avoid bumbling into massive raping hordes of spear and sword/shield'ers. It's a great region to just get used to how the game controls, and you're right near the merchant, which means you can stock up on bombs, get the repair kit, kit yourself out a bit (the merchant sells a spear and a decent shield, most notably - spear+shield will save you a LOT of grief), etc. If you're not able to get to the Taurus Demon with at least 3-4 flasks remaining, you should probably stick to that area and practice a bit more before moving on. Those spear dudes only get nastier. Shalinor fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Oct 10, 2011 |

Filthy Monkey posted:When purely looking at total stats, Wanderers and Pyromancers come out on top. All of the classes are pretty close though, save for sorcerer. Poor sorcerer. Wanderer is probably a pretty good start for almost anybody. I still kind of like cleric too, mainly because you can buy a second heal right at the start, and have 10 heals after resting at any bonfire. I'd almost say it's the single best choice for new players, given that the fireball lets you take out some of the more obnoxious enemies in a single hit, but I haven't tried any of the dudes that actually start with armor. I would absolutely say Pyromancer is the best call if you're willing to stay in the Undead Burg a bit and grab up some decent armor before moving it. EDIT: Oh, with one caveat. Also ditch that loving axe. It eats an obscene amount of stamina. Grab yourself a shortsword instead, they drop like candy in the region, and the merchant sells them too. Or a longsword, if any of the sword/shield hollow there care to oblige you with a drop. EDIT: MadJackMcJack posted:Also, killing shield dudes increases the chance of them dropping one, and it's a great early-game shield.

NoneSuch posted:They need to go ahead and make becoming a human and invading more accesible. Zombie form should have reduced health, or anything, which makes human form obviously superior to encourage it's use. One of the early vendors should sell the cracked red eye orbs too, it's silly not having them easily avaliable as invading is a big part of the game. If it gave you 1.5x elemental/damage resistance or something, for instance, that would be lovely. Or maybe have it reduce your encumberance (what with Hollow dudes looking pretty lanky). It'd be especially useful for mages, then, for throwing on heavier armor and burning down some of the more difficult-to-dodge bosses. Either way, odds are good the devs are well aware of this, and want to improve things. The game is, as far as I can tell, doing really well - it should hopefully see some support. They won't patch haphazardly, though, given Microsoft's policies and the costs involved - there'll be some delay.

Yodzilla posted:Now it seems like unless you want to grind you'll never actually invade or be invaded and that takes a lot away from the game. It's a little disappointing. I spent even less time in Human form in DeS, what with the conversion items being rare and limited, and the only other way across being to help someone beat a boss. Here, I actually turn human with at least some regularity to kindle bonfires. In the first 10 hours of the game, I've spent more time Human than I did in the entirety of my DeS playthrough - just because of kindling a fire, and then oh hey, I'm human, and I don't die too often, so that sticks. Death in general seems somewhat more avoidable this time, probably due to the flasks. There's a real reason to make a tactical withdrawal, restock, and try again - whereas in DeS, the healing items were also pretty limited. This is a good thing, and tends to make Human form stick quite a while.

Yodzilla posted:No it's not because in Demon's Souls you could invade while in soul form and be invaded while human. Attacking other players and winning netted you a really good reward and being human had very obvious advantages. There was both a tangible reason to invade and good reason to be in the form that you can be invaded. The invading part, and having to be human-form to invade? That make indeed be a problem, I don't know. I've never tried to invade anyone in DeS, I lean more in the co-op direction. But the people-being-human part doesn't seem to be an issue, at least in early to mid-game, or is at least less of an issue than it was in DeS.

If I'm running through as a slightly nimble (<50%) sword and boarder with a penchant for spears, and also using pyromancy - is it at all likely that I'll have the additional points to branch into another school of magic? If so, any particular reason to pick one or the other? Pyromancy is super fun, and having more useful spells to throw at people / make myself awesome would be awesome. I realize it's a bit of an odd question, and largely depends on if the weapons I end up using scale with Int. I just don't know if there are any such weapons suited for the above build, and am trying to avoid wikis this time.

I'm unclear on whether that's really the best way to go for my sword/spear/sheild/<50% light tanker, or if I've probably got the "spare" points to throw into Int or Faith for one of the other schools of magic. Basically, whether or not splitting between tanker and magic-user is viable, or if that'll stick me into an awkard middle ground where I don't have the Endurance to handle many of the bosses, but also don't have the spells to deal with them some other way.

Where should I be at SL20? The last real boss I fought was the initial Taurus Demon - since then, I've cheesed the dude in the tower below him (yay encumberance ring!), cheesed the titanite demon, and taken down the big knight dude guarding the first Fire Keeper's Soul with the drake sword. I'm rocking a +5 spear, and enough titanite to make my hollow warrior shield into something pretty neat. Please don't say I have to go upstairs above where the knight was. That loving minion summoning mage dude murdered me last time. Too many people hitting my shield, it drops, then BLAAAAAT dead Should I be heading down the stairs in the Firelink Shrine, to that generally scary / creepy area? Did a quick wander around, found Valley Of The Drakes, got smushed by a big fat dude that poisoned me (but drake sword would have totally taken him, if he hadn't gotten a lucky poisoned hit in).

Willfrey posted:To tackle him early you will need the master key. He is in Undeadberg, in the tower that goes up to the parapet where you fight the Taurus demon. At the bottom there is a door there that is locked. Use the master key and go down the stairs, he has a big ol' club and a shield, but will usually 2-hand the shield. The club will smack new players for all their health in one hit. You can Havel (the club dude) by luring him up to the door you use to get into that tower from the rest of undead burg (the door at the top of the stairs where the hollow kicked the flaming barrel down at you on your way to the Taurus Demon). He'll only follow you out of that door long enough to do a single swing. Then, he'll backpeddal back to his spawn. But if you set foot inside the tower again while he's doing that, he'll run back out, attack again, then go back. So, get a lot of arrows, and lure him down the stair, back-step to avoid the swing, hit him with two arrows as he retreats, follow, one more as he goes through the circular room, step into the room, he runs back out, go down the stairs, avoid, 2 arrows, follow, 1 arrow, enter, run back, etc. Takes a while, but then you have a spiffy ring that'll let you wield the drakesword without being hugely overburdened. You CAN also fight him straight up. The hollow warrior shield will let you soak his hits. It just eats endurance like crazy, and the space you can use to recharge your stamina between hits is REALLY tight, and if you gently caress up even once, blat, you're down.

Elysiume posted:Are you saying it's best to fight him on the stairs? How to cheese Havel This assumes you're entering his tower from the Undead Burg side. The staircase you climb in undead burg to get to the tower's door is "the staircase," and the door at the top of that staircase is "the door". Go down the tower, only far enough to get Havel following you up. Beat feet back to the door, making sure Havel is still following you. If he is, run down the stairs. Havel will follow you out. Once he's outside the door and on the stairs, he'll take precisely one swing at you (the overhead slam) before backpedaling to his spawn point. If, while he is backpedaling, you set foot back inside the door / in the tower, he will re-agro and run back at you (assuming he was still relatively near the door). You can then run back down the stairs, he'll follow, swing, and return. The key here is that, when backpedaling, Havel never has his shield up. Strategy: Equip a bow and plenty of arrows. Doesn't matter what kind, but stronger will make it take less time. Lure Havel to the door, lock onto him, and lure him down the stairs. Get close enough for him to start his wind-up, backstep his swing (making sure you weren't too close to the base of the stairs that you CAN'T back up). Fire one to two arrows at him as he backpedals up the steps. If you time it right as he's at the top of the stairs, one of those locked-on shots will be a bleeding headshot. Follow Havel up the stairs. Fire one more arrow as he crosses the circular room. As soon as he starts down the other set of stairs there, step into the room. Done right, you won't lose the lock-on. He'll come charging back at you, lure him down the stairs, avoid the swing. 2 arrows, follow, 1 arrow, slightly step into room to taunt him, back down stairs, avoid, 2 arrows, back, etc. It takes about 10 minutes-ish, and done right, you're in no danger whatsoever. Can be done at any level. EDIT: Ah, and someone has indeed added it to the wiki. It's the second strategy listed. Will update it with a bit more detail in a sec, their description isn't quite clear. EDIT: VV Eh, for whatever reason, I feel ok cheesing bosses if I've figured out the cheese tactic myself.

... ok, I'm sorry, I have to say: What is with all the Capra Demon trouble? I took him down, easily, on my first go. I wandered in. Saw he had two dogs. Waited between his swings, one strong drakesword swing - poof, dogs are down. Went back to blocking. Casually circled him, shielding his hits, and then blammo, down he went. I mean... seriously. Most of the minibosses have been waaaaay harder than that dude. Hell, some of the random normal ambushes have been worse. (that said, I could not manage to get his tail, since he always rotated to face me Though not sure if his tail was worth anything) After the Gargoyles, I was going in expecting the worst, but that was a walk in the park by comparison. EDIT: Also, I found the curse frogs. That was... uh, the most adorable death ever. Managed to recover, though, and they're remarkably easy once you've figured them out (and died once to figure out the attacks). EDIT: and... really guys, this game doesn't take that much time. I'm pulling 12 hour days in the office (yay deadlines), I have a mortgage, and I am still making decent progress. It's way, way less of time sink than MMOs. I guess maybe if you're used to doing all your gaming in 5 minute CoD rounds, it would feel long, but - for any typical RPG? It's pretty average.

Plus if you're a dodger-type, blocking heavy hits like the Capra's usually spells doom. The dogs though... eeh. They've got a pretty predictable attack cycle that you can mostly time.

Dammit, I keep forgetting that. I've got the +5 spear, but I don't use it as much - "the drake sword has higher damage, so I should just use this for everything!" Stupid Dark Souls, and its logical application of why many armor types all but ignore slashing sharp things but are weak to poking pointy things. You'd think I would remember that lesson from 2-1 in Demon's Souls. ... also, for those having issues with the Gargoyles. Try the drakesword 2h strong slash blast. It tears them up. Yeah, sure, you're burning souls in repair costs, but it is so incredibly cool to blast a line of force 100 feet in front of you. Also awesome when quickly clearing the hallway of zombie dudes on your way to them - you can take out 7-10 of them in one blast. EDIT: VV In that case, should I be upgrading my spear to +10?

I almost had her down with the drake sword, and that was with me in leathers AND forgetting I had Iron Flesh. I think I read something about her being involved in a quest, though, or... forest covenant people... something? No spoilers, just, is there any reason to not go back there with my fancy new armor and iron flesh?)

They'll probably make cute noises, too, and make me feel guilty about it. ... also, the last cute enemy turned me into an insta-statue the second I angered it. So there's that.
