SUPER NEAT TOY posted:To people who couldn't get the dragon to appear from the top of the tower: try removing his tail. As soon as I got the drake sword and went to the top of the tower, he was there. It has really high base damage and no scaling whatsoever, which is why it's such a great weapon earlier in the game. Once you start being able to craft your own stuff and bump your stats up a bit it gets outclassed super quickly.

Malachite posted:How do you avoid the powered up executioner's charging attack? Almost every time I die, its due to that. Sometimes I can get through with a perfect double roll, but eventually I'll just get crushed. Of course the answer is just block, since thats actually possible once one of them is dead. Over an hour spent to figure out such a simple thing, ugh.

J posted:I don't know where that is but do you happen to have a homeward bone you can use to warp back to the last bonfire? Or worst case scenario you can use the darksign to warp back even though it costs you all your souls and humanity. Either is better than just starting a brand new character. My last bonfire is the one I'm stuck at. I'm trying to leave the catacombs entirely.

RentCavalier posted:Oh wow Jesus you weren't kidding. I died on the first attempt to get it due to those stupid plant dudes and their grab attack (is that even blockable!?) and then I tried to be sneaky the second time and took the long way around, killed two plant dudes and this enormous sleeping stone knight who cast magic to slow me down or something! and crept over towards the item, only to get ambushed by two more plants (who I was expecting) and ANOTHER giant stone dude. I run past, grab the armor and my bloodstain, run away, hit a dead end with yet another giant stone dude, and try to run wearing heavier armor away from the quick enemies, end up getting grabbed and barely escaping...only to get sucker stabbed from three yards away! Haha, I just did this and I feel bad for luring a poor phantom to his demise as well. I just didn't know what was ahead of us.  Serious though, gently caress those huge knights.

So every day is Blacksmithing day and I don't like to waste Is it worth it to upgrade Light armor like the Black Leather Armor? If I'm just reinforcing, are there any upgrade trees that I need to adhere to? Is it as unforgiving as Demon's Souls? Do I get anything for maxing out common shields like the Hollow shield or should I pump up this shiny new Knight shield I got? Or is it pretty much safe to just experiment and see what works?

RentCavalier posted:So every day is Blacksmithing day and I don't like to waste If you want to use light armor, then upgrade your light armor. Having more defense for the same weight is never bad! There are no branching upgrades for armor as far as I can tell, just the standard +5/+15 depending on the set. There's a nice shield you can get by using a certain boss's soul on a +10 shield, so there's that if you want it. Otherwise just upgrade whatever shield fits your playstyle.

Thanks to whomever it was that suggested firebombing that goddamn Taurus Demon. Took like, 12 firebombs and perfect timing on blocking with the Hollow shield, but I did it. Also, not sure if this is a spoiler or not, so I'll spoiler it but: The armored bull you fight soon after, was he supposed to be that easy? I mean, all I did was lure him into the fire and he burned himself to death Also, hell yes Baldur helm looks awesome. Now, to get a better weapon than this bog-standard spear...

I'm feeling a little bit stuck and would appreciate being pointed in the right general direction. This is right after I've rung one bell. Last significant thing I did was beat the gargoyle boss in Undead Parish and ring the bell up there. After failing a couple times to get the items behind the dragon on the bridge, I gave up and headed back down to the Firelink Shrine. I next tried the graveyard, barely managing to get inside the cave before discovering what seemed to be an immortal skeleton and a dead end. (Perhaps it wasn't a dead end, hard to tell, I was busy running like hell from three skeletons.) I went back again to the Firelink Shrine and discovered the staircase that leads to the elevator into the Depths. Long story short, I'm out of curse items and I have no idea how to get past that loving multi-ghost chokepoint without them. So where should I be going?

Ledneh posted:You misunderstand--I killed the boar (through dumb luck) already. It's getting back through there that is ruining me. And I can't upgrade my poo poo, how am I supposed to do that? I haven't seen a blacksmith! Alright, this is literally what I do every time. First, there's the guy before the area even starts. Kite him down, bait him into attacking, wreck his poo poo. Next, the moment you step in there's an enemy to your right. Just popping in will aggro him, so you can back up again and take him out without much problem. I forget if there's another guy standing still, if there is then just kite him like before. Get close enough to aggro, then back up. The spear guys will be aggro if they start slowly fumbling their way toward you, the sword guys will aggro by sprinting at you. After you do this, climb the stairs and take out the shield guy there. It's helpful to keep him between you and the two crossbowmen. After you take him out, run past the crossbowmen on the bridge. You'll put yourself with a wall at your back, two shieldless hollows in front of you, and one shielded sword-wielder running up to meet you. At this point, just take the two crossbowmen out quick OR turtle up and plink away, its not that hard to time your attacks to coincide with the swordandboarders weak point. And because you haven't reached there yet, here's another quick tip. Later on you'll come to a fork, there will be a longer path to your left and a short path leading to a caped knight on the right. Always go right first. If you don't, instead of fighting each caped knight you find mano-a-mano, you will end up aggroing this knight while fighting a different one, ending up in a particularly uncomfortable caped knight sandwich. Another pro tip: If caped knights with estocs/rapiers are holding their sword out and pointing it at you, only attack if you have a death wish.

If anyone is having trouble with the Capra demon he's hilariously easy with multiple people. I'm sitting out here waiting to be summoned at SL 20. Done it twice so far and each time we destroyed him. What do you guys think would be a good level to try and help people with the butterfly and gaping dragon?

Other ways of murdering it would be stabbing it in the butt, which would kill it in 1-2 hits, or luring it under the walkway above and plunge attacking it to death.

RentCavalier posted:So every day is Blacksmithing day and I don't like to waste Absolutely upgrade the Hollow Soldier Shield, it has the highest stability of the shields that I've found thus far. This means that you lose less stamina per hit, so if you upgrade that to a pretty insane degree you can absorb hits from pretty much anything short of the Stray Demon, and that's only because you don't have stellar magic defense. I'll put it this way: I upgraded that poo poo as much as I could, went down to talk with Havel, and was consistently able to block every attack he threw at me. Never more than one at a time, mind you, but it's pretty easy to take one on the shield, dodge roll backwards, and sidestep until he fucks up and uses a move that leaves him open long enough for a backstab.

Someone posted a bit about upgrading before but I can't seem to find it. I'm trying to upgrade a scimitar to +10 but the parish guy only upgrades to +6. Where can you upgrade to +10 and while I'm at it where can I then upgrade the scimitar with krags soul? Also, just because it's bothering me, is there a fire in sens fortress? I did the whole area and killed the boss without finding one so I'm wondering if I missed something in there. Finally, a gold tip is to buy the iron skin pyro spell. It makes a lot of tough enemies incredibly simple.

Behind the pool of water at firelink shirine is a graveyard, if you follow the path running past the skeletons you will find a body with the spear. The first body you find after the big skeleton is not it, its the one after you run up a short slope

Partial Octopus posted:Has anyone figured out how you get the sword from great gray wolf sif? There are 2 swords (and a shield, which is amazing I might add, but it does require 34 str) you can make from Sif's soul. If you make a +10 out of most standard swords, you can ascend it into the cursed version of the artorias greatsword, whereas if you reinforce a broken straight sword or a straight sword hilt to +10, you can ascend that into the true greatsword of artorias. The smith in anor londo makes boss soul weapons.

Megasabin posted:When do I need to start worrying about fulfilling the requirements for the Darkwraith covenant? I know I have to beat a boss earlier than normal and I don't want to miss it. Here's what the guide says - You need to kill the 4 kings (boss of the londo ruins) before you place the lordvessel (item you get after the boss of anor londo) on the firelink altar. Once you have the lordvessel, do NOT talk to the serpent in firelink shrine otherwise he will automatically teleport you to the altar and you have to put the lordvessel on it. Then when you kill the 4 kings, the darkwraith covenant guy should appear in the abyss for you to join darkwraith.

Whoever thought it was a great idea to put archers that fire lances at you, that send you backwards if you block, and then put them on a narrow path that you have to go on, can die. I got past them the first time, and then I died. Now? Yeah, I've spent an hour now dying to them.

Okay, this may sound dumb, but can I get some help with (garden boss) the Moonlight Butterfly? I saw him fly down from the wall and he went past the bridge I'm standing on and just disappeared below. As far as I can tell, there's no way down off the bridge that wouldn't be death. I had two phantoms with me, and they just ran around aimlessly for a bit before leaving back for their world, so I'm assuming he's supposed to come back? It's been several minutes since I've seen him and I don't hear him anymore. What obvious thing am I missing? Or has he glitched?
