Great OP, just now taking interest in this game. I tried to order on amazon and get release date shipping via amazon prime but it gave me an estimated delivery date of the 6th. I'd rather just go pick it up at Gamestop so I can get it on the actual day.

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!

This will be my first foray into this type of game, and I'll probably be live streaming it blindly. I expect massive rages to be induced.

What are the odds of IGN putting up the 24 hour cast as a vod? I'd love to rewatch the first few hours of it.

Regarding being cursed, apparently it has at least one upside. A guy in the sewer says that you can fight the ghosts if you are cursed somehow? I haven't tested it myself though, and I'm not going to purposefully get myself cursed to find out.

There's another nest a bit further down the path from where you get dropped off, hidden off to the side of the path. That's where you conduct said trade.

I have decided i'm tired of the drat drake sword and want to use something else. I've gotten my Claymore to +8 and can 1 hand it. This poo poo looks bad rear end. I'm also mixing and matching eastern/elite knight armor and I feel like a monster. I don't want to use that gold hemmed ring wraith poo poo, i'm a knight not a ninny.



This is game of the decade.

I cannot kill loving Gwyn with a Lightning Claymore +5. It seems like I do no damage to him and his nonstop barrage of attacks just overwhelms me and my stamina. What the hell do I do? I've tried Iron Flesh and Havel's Armor and everything, what the hell.

What level are you at? I just did this earlier today and there were 2 or 3 summons, however they were on the main bridge area rather than near the boss. Try looking around there for a while.

I'm like 84 or 85. I don't see anything ever. Am I just way ahead of the curve?

For those of you wondering about the last boss, this is what I had to do: learn to parry and never put your back to him. roll away when he tries to grab and get ready to parry.

Yeah, claymore was probably my favorite weapon for raw usability out of the many I tried. It's just so versatile and has a great attack rating.

Has NG+ been meaningfully more challenging out of curiosity?

Enemies do more damage and take more stamina to block, that's about it. On the whole it's easier to breeze through because you know what you are doing, but on the same note bosses(after a certain point) get a lot tougher.

Seriously, Seath: I know which tail I'm supposed to hit, but freaking where? I do so much damage to his tail and then he ends up just killing me. Is there like a specific point that I exactly need to hit for a certain amount of damage? Is there any way I can be faster running than he is turning? SJKEkljels!

I've tried watching this a few times, and it seems like it could be interesting. Unfortunately the microphone quality kind of brings the whole thing down. If streaming is a thing you do, you may want to consider picking up a different mic and maybe toning down the game audio levels.

I'm sorry audio troubles are bringing you away from the cast. This is actually the first I've heard of the microphone sounding bad, and I get quite a few viewers (that will bitch about everything that they can) that don't seem to notice it :(

Where does one obtain the Demon Spear?

I thought it'd be a good candidate for a +5 upgrade from Demon Titanite, since it looks like I am going to be swimming in Demon Titanite soon.

Any other suggestions for what to do with all this demon titanite?

That drops from the gargoyles in anor londo I believe.

and to Leyburn: no, you have to walk out of the endboss room instead of lighting the bonfire
