Bobnumerotres posted:It is pretty much the best sword of its kind in the game that's been discovered so far, high stat requirements but its damage is absurd. The stat requirements actually aren't that bad. It was 16 STR and 10 DEX I think? I was only 1 STR away from being able to use it one-handed when I got it.

I'm loving the game so far, but a quick question: I'm in the undead burg, just past the first fog door and a little before the bonfire, on that walkway the dragon lands on just to give you a scare and there's that opening that looks like you can jump to a broken off walkway. I've been trying but keep landing just short - am I wasting my time or do I just have the timing down wrong? Or option c) come back when my character's dexterity is in the double digits? EDIT: Nevermind, got it! Still don't know if that jump is possible, but there's another angle you can take later. squirrelnow fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Oct 5, 2011 |

Never played demon souls but I'm loving this on 360. Kinda regretting going hunter off the bat though as knight seem to have got all the cool armor ='(. Everytime I'm at a bonfire, some other phantom knight is there and I just get sad in my pathetic pretty leather armor.

There's also another door leading somewhere next to him but I didn't check that out since I just wanted to push onwards to the church.

I think I want to start again without having my Covenant chosen for me (stupid Clerics  ). Is there any guidance anywhere yet on what the different Covenants give you/do for you/let you do, and how they get their vengeance on you for breaking oath?

I'm still a little confused as to all of what humanity does. The upper left corner shows the humanity counter which I will lose from if I die. I can unhollow with one humanity at a fire to become human. Once human I can kindle a fire wither another humanity to make it give 10 Estus flasks. Human form lets me invade players and get invaded. Am I missing anything?

OK I've been playing for a few hours and I've only leveled up. How do I know when I have a skill point to assign? My humanity randomly goes to 1 and I assume it's based on how many guys I've killed. I can't seem to find a correlation between the two. Can someone explain it to my dumb rear end?

Major spoiler about NG+: It's Resident Evil style NG+, the enemies don't get any tougher, it's pretty much just a "take your revenge on the game" mode, not like Demon Souls' "hard mode" NG+. The game is a lot longer though, and while in DS1 your stats only made a subtle difference and your true strength was in skill, in this game your stats and equipment can get pretty absurd.

Just started a new character and played up to the first undead burg bonfire before giving it a rest for a few hours. After getting stuck at the bell gargoyles for a while I realized that killing the merchant was a huge mistake. I didn't realize when I decided to try it that there wasn't going to be any others for a while. Now on this run I can actually get the dragon sword and have firebombs to use on poo poo, plus with prior knowlege the first areas don't feel too much harder than they were with my stronger character. I'll spend most of the night grinding souls to get myself back up to the level I was at, but I swear I won't call it a night without ringing that first bell.

You guys weren't kidding about the Drake Sword. It does over twice the damage of my heavy axe, and it's way faster. I guess trying to kill dragons early always pays off!

Leveling up has nothing to do with your humanity. You sometimes get humanity from items or randomly from enemies and can use that to reverse hollow and get to human form, or kindle a bonfire. You use souls to level up. Once you have enough souls you can drop a point into whatever stat you want. The cost per stat goes up as you level.

Being human also gives you curse resistance, allows you to summon/be summoned by other players, and certain NPCs won't talk to you if you're hollow. @Macdeo Lurjtux; Yes, once you kindle a bonfire it will stay kindled forever.

What exactly does this Seek Guidance miracle do? I don't think bonfires stay kindled forever, or rather it doesn't affect other people's games forever. I got some free kindles on some of my bonfires, and they faded soon after.

This took me a while to sink into my brain, but each stat point you increase "is" a level up. Let's say you're level 10. It takes x souls to increase your strength from 10-11. So you purchase it. You're now level 11. I hope that makes sense.

Reading the 360 board on gamefaqs is great http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/608635-dark-souls/60532038?page=1 The OP got mad at the game beacuse he killed a merchant. [e] "I'm an average guy that has a very large collection of xbox games but only play for fun. So If there are a few designers here for DS I have a few questions. Did you think we read minds when it comes to playing this game. I have no idea what the hell is going on from the character to why I'm alive, who I'm suppose to kill and why. I mean its not even in the book that came with the game.The intro looked great but said nothing! Those of us that are used to the more popular games atleast have a simple basic game fundamentals explained to them. Like no experience points but souls, and what i'm suppose to exchange souls for? Humanity? And how do I capture them? To include theres no pause, no jump, it takes you forever to drink an energy drink while on the run for your life which only take a couple blows to die. Listen, I really don't care about the $65 I just spent, its the 6 hrs of playing the same thing over and over. Trying everything I can think of to survive to no avail, and then realizing and I'm still at the beginning (Undead Burg). Theres nothing wrong with giving a game with a higher degree of difficulty (much higher than any other game ever), but you have to understand is theres a fine line between making a game difficult and making it impossible to enjoy. What I'm trying to say, I have never played a game this frustrating and I walked away from a game this disappointed...ever! Hence this post." It's Demons Souls all over again

Beat the first Bell boss on my first try while Human. The item behind the locked door on top of the Asylum could be very useful in a couple places. Also, make sure you revisit your cell.

Would you guys recommend strength or dex for a melee character? I'm not wearing heavy armor (though I'm sure I will eventually when I buy it). But I'm at the point where I'm comfortable with my other stats and would like to focus on dex or str, but I'm not really sure what gear requirements there will be later.

Is killing the first merchant easy to do accidentally? If I accidentally kill the first merchant, will I even know that I've done it? I mean, I don't think I've even reached that point, but I need all the help I can get, and I've already restarted once, so I really don't want to screw this up.

Personally, I'd lean it toward DEX slightly, because spear + shield is awesome and spears require DEX.
