Uh, did I gently caress up massively? I summoned Knight Solaire and Knight Lautrec for the Gaping Dragon fight, they proceeded to do nothing and then got killed by him. I then fell off the waterfall to my death (hey I didn't realise there was a waterfall okay  ) are those guys dead for good?

So I found a Firewatcher Soul and was like "sweet these will upgrade my Flask" so I consumed it and nothing happened. So I looked it up online. Fuuuccckkk have I just poo poo up my game? I hope not because I've spent 10 hours in it farming the poo poo out of upgrades for a long, long time. Seriously I only just beat the two gargoyles. There are more right? I didn't just ruin my game? Not spoiling this in hopes of saving someone from doing what I did.

It will make your early game a bit harder, but there are plenty more of those to upgrade your flask later.

So, is there at all a downside to joining the Way of the White? you can get heal really early on and that's stupid useful.

On the upside, I'm getting pretty good at fighting those knights. On the downside, I lost like, three humanity due to a wayward crossbow bolt. Also, gently caress those spear guys. gently caress their stupid defensive time-consuming asses.

Sen's Fortress: Turns out the black knight at the top of Sen's Fortress right near the bonfire respawns a long with the regular enemies. he's dropped a Greataxe, Greatsword, Steel Gauntlets, Tower shield and a few large titanite shards for me. I don't know if he's a black knight like the others but it's a pretty sweet deal.

Only ever attack the Gaping Dragona after it's done it's charge forward attack after slamming it's head down; focus on cutting off the tail first, then once that's gone, whittle it down slowly by attacking from behind after the charge attack. The second it does anything else play the keepaway game and stay away from it completely. It'll take time, but you'll never, ever get hit if you do it this way.

Man, I'm getting my rear end kicked in blight town. Where's a good place to grind for souls quickly-ish? I'm thinking of bypassing it for the 20k door in the forest but that's a lot of souls. Also, which merchant sells the poison cures? Any way to cure toxin?

I think the zombie lady in Lower Burg sells poison cures, but the bush guys in Garden drop them readily enough for me. I also am kind of looking for an answer to the question of pre-garden-door grinding. Normally I really frown on grinding but I'm possessed with the obsessive need to +5 literally all the armour I'm carrying.

If you need poison cures, farm Darkroot Garden. The tree people drop all 3 of the bleed/poison/toxic cures pretty regularly.

Just made it to the blacksmith in the undead parish and was wondering if it's a waste of Titinite to upgrade my starting gear. I've upgraded my scimitar to +2 and was thinking about dumping some points into my theif's starting armor.

Experimenting with a few weapons right now, namely the raw winged spear, +4 balders side sword, the rapier and the uchigatana. The winged spear has been my primary weapon since I started the game, pretty much. I found it early on in the graveyard next to the Firelink Shrine, and its been my go to weapon ever since. My only problem with it is its relatively high stam use per attack, which only allows me to swing ~4 times before I need to recharge. Other than that, it's a great weapon with good distance, decent damage as compared to the drake sword, and attacks from behind a shield. I'm not quite sold on the "raw" upgrade, but it has indeed increased my damage with the weapon. I received the uchigatana relatively recently after killing the Undead Burg merchant (whom I no longer needed). It has potential for high slashing damage, as well as a great bleed effect, but it has incredibly low durability and gets nicked easily. Maybe it would suffice as a good two-handed boss killer, but I doubt it would outmatch the drake sword without sufficient modification. I found the balders side sword just now, as I was playing. Read its stats and checked its stam use, and it's a surprisingly solid weapon. Attacks quickly, using relatively little stamina (6 swings with 17 endurance), has a wide, long arc of attack as well as very quick strong attack in the form of a thrust, which deals high damage against armored opponents. I upgraded it to +4 as soon as I could, and will soon be upgrading it to +5 in hopes of it becoming my new mainstay weapon. Liking it a lot, so far. Surprisingly, it takes more stamina per swing when wielding it two handed, so I'd recommend sword/board style. The rapier (also found off a balder knight), like the winged spear, can attack from behind a shield. Unlike the spear however, it has a short distance and uses relatively little stamina (6 swings, like the balder side sword). It can parry if held in your left hand, and has a VERY fast recovery after its powerful strong attack, which also uses relatively little stamina (3-4 strong attacks at 17 endurance). I'd like to make it a mainstay weapon, but its damage is relatively low compared to the balder side sword, the winged spear and especially the drake sword. Perhaps if I had found it earlier on, I'd of used it. As of now it's faintly outclassed, but perhaps with sufficient upgrades it could become a worthwhile weapon. Zebrasectomy posted:Just made it to the blacksmith in the undead parish and was wondering if it's a waste of Titinite to upgrade my starting gear. I've upgraded my scimitar to +2 and was thinking about dumping some points into my theif's starting armor. I would personally hold off on it. As a wanderer who started with the scimitar, I very quickly replaced it early on. Its attacks just don't seem to scale well when compared to some of the other early weapons (drake sword, winged spear, etc). The armor gets replaced as well, not by regular defense stats, but by lighter leathers that have the added benefit of protecting the user from poison. Of course, play however you choose, but I found I could save my souls on leveling up after finding the more powerful weapons which need no upgrades.

I'm having trouble clearing out the bottom floor of Sen's Fortress. Anyone have any tips on how to deal with the two titanite demons? I can take one just fine, but having to dodge one while the other throws lightning at you sucks.

No, but there's also no reason to really stay in the Way of the White covenant because Petrus will sell your Miracles even if you're not in the WotW covenant once Reah and her companions show up at Firelink. It's the newbie covenant - there are better covenants to join.

Get the scimitar to +10 at some point, or any curved blade I guess, and you can turn it into a much better weapon later. The thiefs armor is actually pretty solid for about a quarter of the game so you can upgrade it if you want to.

Okay, wow, holy poo poo. gently caress the Depths. Dropped down a hole after killing a huge loving rat, see freaky loving frog things and run for my life and then some rear end in a top hat named Kirk or something wants to kill me then I summon my buddy to help and the dickhead doesn't do anything to the other dickhead trying to kill me then the frog guys catch up and curse me and I die. I think I'm going to stop playing for today.

So if you're looking to assist someone you need to be within a certain amount of levels don't you? I want to help people but for the smaller things (Gargoyles, Capra etc) nobody tries to use me. Then again I think I'm like SL43 or something

You can't get to her without getting poisoned, unless there's some poison immunity spell. The last stretch is too long even with the best available poison resist gear at that point. Just get poisoned and then use one of the purple moss clumps to cure yourself at the end.

^^Backstab him in the butt and you'll do a lot of damage or hide behind the fire near the bridge with crossbowmen and he'll roast himself to death I noticed a bunch of people saying it takes a lot of arrows to knock off the dragons tail, but pro-tip if you use poison arrows which are a bit more expensive, you can knock it off in about 15-20 shots. I bought 35 which was all i could afford thinking it wouldn't be close to enough and it was plenty. Got them from the berg sewer short cut vendor

Or make him run into one of the fires down there. Or use a plunging attack. There's a skull item on the bridge over him that you can use to lure him closer to the bridge in order to plunge attack.

Was letting the golden guy I found in the Mysterious Room in the church live a bad idea? He came to camp and gave me a medallion and then disappeared. I figured if he was like Yurt (?) from Demons Souls I would have a free shot at stopping him from doing anything bad. His laugh did not instill me with any ideas that he was a good guy.

Fellow Gravelords: Have any of you had any luck using Eyes of Death? Any successes, notifications of failure, or invasions? I've noticed you can leave the area you're in while doing it, so I'm not fully sure whether it effects 3 peoples worlds at random regions, or just the one where you used the item.
