RentCavalier posted:Ahaha...oh god... The projecticle assholes do indeed respawn. Here's a little advice from someone who's attempted this stage roughly 30 times: The mages have more poo poo up their sleeve than that. I recommend a magic defence shield to switch to just for them. If you get too close, they do a four sword swing with a long windup. If that catches you, they grab you with the swords (damage) then stuff you into their mouths (lots of damage) as a lighter class, this one shots me. In addition, they occasionally spit poison from their gobs. You can kill the exploding boulder golem before you start the boss fight. Stay inside the stairwell and bats attcks (shield up. Wait until he spazzes out and falls over, then go in and wail on him. Repeat. And I have no idea where the loving bonfire is.  EDIT: No message for the bonfire. But now I know where it is, cheers! This does still mean I need to get up there one more time. Just one more time. Sen's Fortress is my Blighttown. If / when I find this "Sen", I'm going to rip his loving cock off and hide it behind a series of lethal traps. Gazmachine fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Oct 11, 2011 |

RentCavalier posted:Ahaha...oh god... You're actually almost there, this is the easiest part just DONT STOP MOVING. Once you get to the split in the path go left and follow the bridge around. You can jump over the gap in the bridge and that will lead you to a vendor and the key to the shortcut. Once you get to the top go kill the mad bomber who bombs at daylight and he won't respawn. Go kill boss and collect his soul Edit vvvvv The shortcut comes after the tauros demon, climb up the tower and use the falling attack on him to make the fight significantly easier. Critical hits (ripostes/backstabs) are all about timing, and its different for every enemy. Play with it some and you'll get the feel for it.

This game. This loving game I'm playing a Warrior, still using the starting equipment plus the master key, which I definitely don't regret taking, considering I've already opened a couple of doors hiding loot and tough-rear end enemies in the Undead Burg with it. I've leveled up endurance, strength and dexterity a couple of points each. But I must be doing something wrong. First off, do I really have to run the entire firebombing skeleton run every time the Taurus Demon crushes me into a pulp, isn't there a bonfire closer to it? Secondly, I can't seem to score critical hits, is there a trick to it? Thirdly, those two tough-rear end enemies in the Burg, is it realistic to try and take them on now or are they for later? I'm talking about the knight down the stairs and the dude at the bottom of the tower behind the locked door?

So I just beat the Bell Gargoyles and am about to go into the forest and get the Elite Knight armor. But I'm still using the Drake Sword, and it kind of seems too powerful. Nothing else I've found is even comparable, even stuff like the gargoyle axe. But I also haven't upgraded anything yet - will other weapons end up being more powerful than the Drake Sword if I upgrade them?

Made some boss weapons. Lifehunt Scythe - Performs a Bleed that lasts 50% of the target's HP for PVP. Kinda lovely but great for a first strike weapon. The negative is that you get the bleed effect too, but that's why you have the Bloodshield right? Quelaag's Furysword - Looks awesome as gently caress sets poo poo on fire along with hitting things hard with a B dex modifier. Probably going to use this along with a spear full time now. Dragonslayer Spear - Looks awesome as hell but I don't have that stats to wield it correctly. Shoots lighting from what I hear. So my rear end in a top hat PVP build is now Chameleon, Poison Mist, Acid Surge, Lifehunt Scythe. I may not win often, but I'm going to have fun.

Argh I know it's thematically correct but what retard decided the female burg merchant should look exactly like the same mooks who I've been threshing like wheat for hours.  Now she is sitting out of reach shouting at me like Grandpa Simpson.  This is my tradeoff for taking out Dildo Knight and that 'hope you like looking at pixelated leaf patterns when you're trying to fight' Capra gently caress with no big problems.

When I won against them, I went in and IMMEDIATELY pressed R2 just after R3, and killed one. I melee'd the second one but it wasn't too hard. This was my third try, I was astounded and wondered if the damage I'd done in my previous attempt was still in effect, it felt like I cheated.

So, the Absolution merchant guy stuck in the "hug me" pose inside that one bell-tower? He sells a miracle called Karmic Retribution for 40k soulbucks. As far as I can tell, it does not actually Do anything. I'm not sure what "automatically counters strong attacks" is supposed to mean, but I got myself hit by some strong attacks while it was up, and nothing happened other than the pain you'd expect. Also, I killed (late boss spoiler)Gravelord Nito and now I can't find (late bonus NPC merchant spoiler)Patches the Jerk anywhere. I encountered him before that boss, then he presumably wandered off somewhere. I have heard he's supposed to sell me some nice, rare things if he's still alive? ghostinmyshell posted:Dragonslayer Spear - Looks awesome as hell but I don't have that stats to wield it correctly. Shoots lighting from what I hear. I do have the stats to wield it correctly! It's pretty sweet. Ridiculously long reach, pretty decent lightning/physical damage that scale up with stats, unlike every other lightning thing in the game. While 1-handing it, R2 does a stab that fires a lightning bolt, at the cost of like 20 (out of 300) durability. While 2-handing it, R2 has a two-stab combo, the first one is just a heavy thrust, the second one is a poke-then-lift thing that throws lighter enemies around, but it's slow as hell to use. To make it, you need a +10 spear; I just down-graded the piece of poo poo lightning spear that I found in sen's fortress.

KozmoNaut posted:Secondly, I can't seem to score critical hits, is there a trick to it? You have to parry or backstab to get the extra crit damage on a weapon (unless something's changed from Demon's Souls but it seems the same so far to me). The black knights aren't to terrible if you have a half decent shield, lure them into an area where you have room to fight them (the bonfire works well so if you die it's a short walk to your souls), and are under 25% of your max load. Just stay close to him and circle his shield arm to give yourself some space from his weapon hand. When he swings let go of block once you know it didn't connect and circle around to his back. Try to get a backstab if you can otherwise just take your hits as they come. If he does manage to hit you wait until he's recovering from a backstab to use your flask. The guy at the bottom of the stairs I haven't killed yet so can't offer any advice on.

Nice, I might as well still go for it, since I've got a Halberd +4 just sitting around. My Endurance is at 40 right now also, giving me pretty good bleed resistance. I already feel like I've outleveled the rest of the game at this point, so I could keep going with Endurance if need be.

He tanked like a motherfucker (took like maybe 35% after getting grabbed and smacked) and did insane damage. I just sat back and plunked arrows at the Golem. I'm 90% sure that it was an NPC based on the way it acted and moved, but hot drat.

Because i'm thinking of making a +10 spear to make the soul weapon. My INT is low though, so I'm not too sure.

U-DO Burger posted:Finally beat the boss fight at the end of Anor Londo going solo, but gently caress that was a trying experience. I thought that it would be smartest to kill the lancer first, because he was faster. Then fatso got a shocking transformation and murdered me. So that didn't work well. Then I decided to kill the fatso instead, only to have the lancer grow up and wreck my poo poo. At this point I'm pretty upset that I'm doing so badly. Then I have this brilliant idea: whittle them both down to nothing so that after I kill one, the other one won't take more than a hit to kill. So I take like 10+ minutes doing just that. I kill fatso and the lancer transforms, healing himself to full. I took S+O a step further...and decided to whittle them down to the point where if I cornered them right I could kill them at the same time... I did it! And then one respawned with full health anyways. Was some bullshit.

If your int is low don't bother with the moonlight spear. make the shield instead. it's blocking stats are bad except for magic but it's useful as it's special attack is multiplied by the power of your weapon, making it viable for any build.

KozmoNaut posted:This game. This loving game And yeah, you have to do that route every time, but a) it's a good way to grind some souls, about 700 per attempt, and b) it's a good place to practice fighting and single-pulling guys. If you step onto the bridge you can pull one guy individually, then deal with two on the far side, then deal with one or two flame bomb throwers just outside that room. Deal with the three guys upstairs (practice focusing down one guy with a couple other guys also in the fight), deal with the archer in the tower, then practice pulling the spear guy solo. At first it was a huge ordeal to clear through it, but after a while the whole thing was like clockwork. Once you get a little tougher, the guy at the bottom of the tower drops a ring that really helps with encumbrance as a warrior/knight, so he's worth going back for. Even in full armor a bunch of his attacks are backsteppable. I just made sure I had a full green bar of blocking so I could survive it if he did happen to tag me, and kept poking him in the face (another lesson here -- be patient and don't get greedy!) until he died. But until you do the first real boss, and probably get the drake sword, I'd definitely skip him.

well you're in luck because the moonlight shield can't parry! It trades that for the special projectile I mentioned. It's honestly a pretty good shield because it, essentially giving you a high damage spell that costs the shield's durability.
