Pb and Jellyfish posted:Started a SL1 run through a few days ago, and I'm really enjoying it. I'm still impressed by how much gear matters over level. It was surprisingly easy to kill 4 kings with just stone giant armour and a fire mace, I managed to get them on my first try. I was worried I would need lightning to damage them enough, but I wanted to go Darkwraith before I got to Anor Londo. I'm sure I'll be an rear end in a top hat and murder some poor new players in the Parish, but I actually enjoy fair fights in Dark Souls PVP. I am tempted to level up to 2 though so I can use longswords, but I might wait until after I beat most of the bosses just to keep the run pure. If you want something faster than a club, a +5 chaos handaxe is surprisingly good.

Hit and run tactics work pretty well. Also for the love of all that is holy use your ears during this fight. So many people seem to miss the audio queues when you can't see Nito.

I feel like I might be a bit overlevelled though, I'm SL 70 with most of it dumped into Vitality and Endurance since I'm using a chaos weapon by and large. e: Man now I see what folks were saying with the incessant 'gorgeous view ahead' messages.

First of the dead more like LAST of the LIVING wait what Surprisingly easy on my second attempt once I popped out my divine Halberd and got rid of the skeletons. I guess giant unknowable masses of bone and decay are super flammable.

Some idiot left Nito's coffin open for like centuries. All that moisture evaporated and gathered up-funnel in the room with the pinwheels. Why do you think that water spawns skeleton babies?

So where should I check out the next time I play? Ways I know to go are Demon Ruins which still scares me, and that door in Anor Londo. I assume Demon Ruins will get me the Witch of Izalith's soul eventually (though from what Quelana told me, I'm guessing I won't be fighting the Witch herself). Seath the Scaleless is probably in Anor Londo so that's the last two souls Framt told me to get. But what about the Furtive Pigmy, and I think people mentioned there's a DLC area? Is there somewhere else to go that I have missed? Or are there more paths further in to the two areas I know about? I can't believe I'm closing in on the end.

You should maybe check out the church where you rang the first bell and found your first firekeeper soul. I think it might be too late if you beat Nito, but maybe if you are lucky, there's something there.

Jerusalem posted:Alright, I got the Parish on lockdown, I feel like I got the hang of this game now, time to hit the Catacombs Haha, this is exactly me an hour ago. I'm trying to knock the game over before GFWL dies after putting it off for ages. I cleared the parish, darkroot forest places, so hit the catacombs. I'm breezing through it OK, clearing out Necromancers with my Black Knight Sword at +4 and a heap of Str, Stam and Endurance at SL 43 and I got to a place with a heap of coffins in it. Oh hey a Titanite Demon, why isn't he jumping at me? YOU DIED! Lets try this passage way off to the side this time, oh another loving necromancer no problem I guess, and through this doorway, what's that clanking sound? YOU DIED! OK, new plan there was a hole in the ground on the way to that Necromancer with some loot in it, drop down, oh cool a soul, OH gently caress A BLACK KNIGHT. YOU DIED! Maybe if I go through that crumbly bit of wall, OH poo poo SKELETONS EVERYWHERE, let me just carefully back up to this doorway so these archers can't hit my. YOU DIED! What the gently caress, where did that giant skeleton come from? Jokes on you game, it's day 1 of a 4 day weekend.

I always thought the Axe-wielding Black Knights were a bit rare compared to the others. I saw one end game, but never considered that it would have one hanging out elsewhere like the others.

Are there any good videos out there of people messing with Dark Souls code? There's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvku-36Fq0M but I recall numerous videos that involved playing as other characters (even bosses, who had their attacks bound to weird buttons) and I can't seem to find those.

The one in Catacombs is the only axe wielding one in the game prior to Kiln. He also has the distinction of humiliating me last time I visited the Catacombs, because I fell in such a way that he was able to slam me on the way down and insta-kill me on top of the fall damage.

If you're lucky enough to get that axe and you did so fairly early in the game, you should pretty much just build your character around it. It's easily one of the best weapons in the game.

Whaaaaaat the gently caress are these dinosaur assholes in lost izalith doing? I kinda want to ride one now. Eh. Also wow demon ruins and lost izaleth are drab as poo poo. They could've done so much more with a lava level! instead it's just kinda bleh in all honesty. Also #2 I think I'm overlevelled a bit. I'm SL70 or so and finished O&S on the second try. I've never been able to get summoning to work, or invading for that matter, but regardless I'm finding I'm pretty easily handling bosses on the first or second tries! It's actually pretty chill, but I feel like I'm missing some of the, y'know challenge. Or something. I dunno! We'll see how the three remaining lords treat me.

Lost Izalith and demon ruins were clearly in some sort of development hell and were not completed. If you took out the constant stream of mini-boss fights, and the dragon butts the area is incredibly short and plain. Their positioning also felt like a placeholder, like at the last minute a dude just ran around the level spamming "npc spawn taurusdemon", there are angles where you can clearly see mapping voids in LI, etc. etc. It kind of sucks, it might've been a really interesting dungeon but it seems From didn't have enough time.

It's pretty early in if you want to grab it then pop back out to do the dlc first. Also there are a couple of super secret areas hidden below Blighttown, now that you can warp you should seek them out as well.

Huh. Bed of Chaos was pretty easy once I figured out the pattern. And cast flash sweat beforehand. And wore that lovely fire protection ring you get waaaay early in the game. Pretty easy after a dozen tries or so, at any rate. I actually managed to survive the whole inferno thing it does though! Now, off to the catacombs, I think.

Yesterday, I got invaded for the first time. I was closing in on the bonfire in the swamp, which someone here told me about, when some glowing red font started blinking on my screen. I almost poo poo my pants. Someone called Mildred invaded me. But then I realized I'd just fought my way through Blighttown while cursed, and suddenly felt like a Fremen fighting a Sardaukar. Mildred died. Brutally. So, you know, no more of that guys.
