So as soon as the tutorial level is over, are you supposed to head straight to the Taurus Demon? Because I did, and I died. A lot. I also found a very mean black knight and another knight with a gigantic club that one shot me. Am I even supposed to be in this area? I still killed that loving Taurus Demon though.

So, is the Gargoyle's Tail Axe any good? I love how it looks, but using it seems like a step down compared to the amazingness of the Drake Sword. I upgraded it twice so it's +2 but it still seems kinda...unsatisfying. Are axes better at chopping off enemy tails? I'd really like to get the special items from bosses here on out and the Drake Sword has been...inconsistent...in that regard.

Is there a way to farm for titanite chunks/large titanite shards? I know the basic undead soldiers and stuff drop small titanite shards all the time.

For any of you having trouble with the Captain Demon, i found a trick. half way up the staircase its possible to get the demon stuck. You need to have him directly next to the staircase while you stand half way up. This will cause him to attack with swipes tantly, but you will be too high to hit. A weapon with a downswing or magic should then be able to take him out. Course you have to deal with those drat dogs first...

^^^ You mean the Capra Demon? Best way to kill it is to summon some friends. He's really one of the most unfair fights in the game.User0015 posted:So as soon as the tutorial level is over, are you supposed to head straight to the Taurus Demon? Because I did, and I died.

The guy with the big club is meant to be fought later, but he's not terribly hard to kill at this point as long as you have the patience of a saint. The Black Knight is going to be extremely hard until you get a shield with enough stability to withstand his combos unless you have perfect dodge timing or something.

Shalinor posted:The shield that drops off the spear-users near the first Bonfire in the Undead area has enough stability that I can soak his hits. The spear they also drop means you can chip away at the knight whilst keeping your defenses up. At this point, you're either going to have to riposte or backstab the knight to do enough damage. Thrusting weapons (or fire/lightning, which you probably don't have) will do the most damage. Keep circling him and he'll have a hard time hitting you - but you're probably better off coming back later. Havel (the club guy) is behind the door in the tower you go up right before you fight the Taurus Demon.

Anor Londo looked so nice to begin with. It is, apart from the horrible shitlords that live there. Got to the second bonfire though, and flicked open a few shortcuts. That fortress was pretty nasty too, gently caress that place and gently caress Sen. I don't know if there's anyone called Sen in the game, but if there is I hope you can kill his/her/its rear end. Met an NPC Phantom called Iron Tarkus or something, he was great. Found his armor later too, and that's pretty spiffy as well. The Zweihander's 'back stab' is wonderful to see. I love it. It's +9 so far and busting heads. Two handing it and just flattening one of those cape knights is amazing. That grind spot in the garden is hilarious. Stupid bastards just leap right off, or they stay on and whack my shield, throwing themselves off, or I kick the fuckers down. This game makes me swear so much more than usual, whether that's because things go badly or things go well. This game is amazing. McDragon fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Oct 10, 2011 |

Mordiceius posted:Wanderer seems cool. Is this class okay or is it gimp? As an agility based starter, it sets you up for being a lightly armored dodge maniac with medium-low damage (though fast hits) and good opportunity for bows. It's not the most straight-forward class, especially since AGI based weapons feel rather weak early game. It's not "gimp" by any means, and it will only serve to help you to get used to dodging earlier rather than later. Obviously as has been said over and over, the starting classes you pick really only dictates the game up to maybe the Capra Demon. You can literally do whatever. You can start a mage and then dump all your points into strength if you so desired.

LukeyBoy posted:Holy poo poo, just killed the gargoyles without help, what a loving rush. Head back to the dragon bridge, down by where that sun knight is. The previously locked door can now be unlocked. After a loooong ladder there will be two paths. Take the one going up for a shortcut to a previous bonfire, go down to continue your quest to die repeatedly. Heavy neutrino posted:The guy with the big club is meant to be fought later, but he's not terribly hard to kill at this point as long as you have the patience of a saint. Annoying thing with him, all the advice I saw on him says to ditch all your armour and go full dodge since you can't block him and live. After roughly 10 attempts involving his loving homing club one-shotting mr, I said gently caress it and went in fully armoured with my Baldur shield up. He took off roughly half my stamina with each hit, and he hits so slowly that I could backstab with impunity. gently caress you advice!

You're not supposed to fight him yet, and yes it's possible to backstab him, but the game is really really picky about backstabs. You just have to get a feel for it. The guy with the club is hidden in the tower you climb before fighting the Taurus Demon, behind a locked door that can be opened with the Master Key (never ever not pick the master key as your gift you will regret it)

So where do you learn advanced Pyromancies? I read that you have to max out your flame, which I did, and then they're somewhere in Blight Town? I told Laurentius about the Servants of Chaos faction, and then I found him down there, but he'd gone hollow and attacked me on sight.

I'd really like to get the special items from bosses here on out and the Drake Sword has been...inconsistent...in that regard. The problem is you're comparing a basic weapon that has ~115 damage with a +2 to a weapon that does 200 damage right out of the gate but doesn't upgrade very well (or cheaply). The drake sword is amazing right out of the gate but toward the middle of the game it's usefulness drops off because it's damage never goes up with increased stats. Once you get beyond +6 or so or even a holy/fire/magic upgrade, your basic weapons will becoming stronger than the drake sword. As for the weapon itself, I for one love my blessed drake tail axe. It's amazing for the catacombs where even your basic hits stun skeletons. The R2 on it will never knock you back if you hit a wall. You also get increased Poison/Bleed/*TOXIN* resist while using it too. *edit* Sacrificial Toast posted:So where do you learn advanced Pyromancies?

There should be a trainer down there between the bonfire in the swamp and the boss area, she's hiding around a pillar.

Will it actually screw me later on? I suppose I am early enough in that I could still restart. Go with a more burly class instead of an agil class (or at least go with a magic class - didn't realize it would be ages until I could find my first spell), etc. My goal this time is to be a magic-throwing metal god that, once out of magic, just rushes in and kicks people dramatically off tall things.

On ceaseless discharge: Lightning does wonders. If you want to beat him legitimately because the pit trick isn't working for you, get the free lightning spear the game gave you (upgrade it if you want, but chunks aren't farmable as far as I know), kindle the flame so you can bring 10 flasks just in case, and just go at it. I still don't understand his attack pattern or how you're supposed to survive his fire blasts combined with tentacle rape.

Shalinor posted:I picked the mysterious ring, because my Wanderer is the apprentice of an ancient witch It's really hard on the first playthrough to gently caress up your stats so bad you can't continue. By the time you hit soul level 30 or so anyway your stats will have leveled out the way you want them to no matter how you started. Edit: Reacean posted:Personally after seeing how little of Blighttown you have to do first hand if you pick the master key and go in the back way, I will never make another character without it. You don't have to have the masterkey to go in the back way. There is a path from darkroot basin, there is a cave along the cliffside toward the chasm, it's guarded by a black knight with a halberd, but if you can kill him/knock him off, you'll be in the valley of the drakes. The drakes themselves aren't bad to fight if you have a bleeding weapon like the bandit's knife or morningstar or reinforced club.

Run past those guys, take the waterwheel to the bottom, and run across the swamp to the boss area, that's about as much time as I ever want to spend in that god awful place again. I tried going back through after I cleared the story event stuff and I can't believe anyone would want to do that more than once ever.

I just found out that I can two-hand my Black Knight Sword and apparently have been able to for a while (can't one-hand it though, that'll be fun, 2 more level ups). Yesssss. Time to show that Moonlight Butterfly who's boss. I almost had it last time except I forgot to two-hand it the first time it came down, meaning I did like 60 damage instead of the expected 500 or so.
