Penny_Dreadful posted:The final zone is basically empty, the boss is some dumb carbon copy of Old King Allant from Demons Souls, and endings are just haha im kidding there isn't any. Could they really not come up with something better then this? What a disappointment considering the effort it takes to get there. Well as the spirit of the game is old school, isn't that how old school games typically ended? "You win! Play again please!" This game even has a NG+ to help with that. And as empty as the final zone was, it was strangely beautiful and well designed like every other environment I've seen in this game. It's also a great titanite colored chunk hunting spot.

Dawnfire posted:What level are you? I'd be glad to join up with you if you need it, I always hate how hard it is for me to find help so I've been helping people as much as I can now before bosses. My white summon died before the boss, and all I have is Solaire. I can't even save and quit. Every other summon is failing. edit: Oh, I'll just see if I can go kill Lautrec.

Elysiume posted:45. I feel like I should be higher. The one thing I hate about going human and looking for people to summon is that I get invaded, and I royally suck at pvp. I get okay weapons, but I usually get rolled over unless I get lucky. I've only been able to do okay on my pyromancer because of how much ridiculous damage you can do as one. Edit cause I forgot to say: I'm also a bit off level to join you (18 or 75), but 45 actually seems like an alright level to be at Anor Londo. If you can't get anyone to help you, try learning their moves and running them into the pillars. Took me a few tries on my pyro but eventually you learn which moves you can side step or roll back from, and to sort of keep an eye on Ornstein even if he's to your side.

Wow, me, this random mage, and a half-health Solaire (I left him in that room while I looked for a new summon) took them down, first try, Smough first. Solaire left us right after Smough died, and for Ornstein I just held aggro and swatted him with me Furysword and the mage did...mage things. edit: oh, there are two elevators because Smough used the big one and Ornstein used the small one. Now I feel kind of bad. Why did they attack me? I don't even know!

Oh good, the invisible walkways over the instant death pit have holes in them. That's novel. And the flakes that land on them actually go farther than the invisible level geometry. And the last checkpoint is one level ago.

Is there really any upgrade from Stone or Havel's armor? Even upgrading with expensive twinkling titanite I don't really see anything that's a significant upgrade.

If you have the quelanna ascended pyro flame and tell him about it he, he goes to search for her but ends up hollowed in blighttown. I feel bad kind of too, since he was a nice guy, but the dude was a jerk who TOTALLY overreacted when I hit him trying to break him out of his stupid barrel on my first run. Guy was a baby. Does anyone know if he drops anything good? Edit: Yeah I'm a numbnuts and forgot if he did.

A white circle also appears on my HUD, where I keep my miracles. What is this? It happens every once in a while for no reason and it baffles me. Also, just got to the Anor Lando smithy. Where do I go to get my plus 10 bandit dagger higher?

Elysiume posted:I have some bad news for you. It's unfortunately 3v1. I had a lot of trouble with the fight on my old character, so on this one I just kept Lautrec in his cage without even going his way. Lo and behold the jerk somehow shows up at firelink, and then I try to burn his face off but instead forget that his cheap weapon ignores shields and got murdered. Fought him again and he rolled off a cliff...but anyway. You can try running and gunning if you have any ranged or magic, but really he's not specifically weak to much according to the guide. In fact, he has strong resist against status effects too. I just kept hitting him as he rolled toward me and then backed off, rinse and repeat until he died. Have to watch his caster buddy though, who has a so and so chance to drop a catalyst as well. Edited so it's not a giant chunk of text.

Whaat? I don't get to kill the other fuckers if I kill him first? A +15 Great Chaos Fireball and a jump attack and he was slain! I'd decided to go hard because I can't block. How much does Ring of Favor and Protection boost my load cap by? I want to wear it, but I don't want to find out it's not enough and break the drat thing.

PvP hilarity tonight. Joined the forest covenant and got summoned a few times to hunt down trespassers! This was cool! First two guys got murdered, one disconnected, but the last guy...I couldn't find him. Then another phantom invaded and we're tag-teaming trying to find this guy and...no one's there. We hunted like five minutes, maybe ten...and no sign of the guy. We start tear-assing around the forest, rolling through trees and stuff, hoping to find him. Then I roll into a bush and...it doesn't give. It looks a little different from a distance. Darker, the light doesn't reflect the same. Weird. I roll again. The bush doesn't break. All the other bushes broke. So I swing my sword at it, and it screams. What the gently caress? There's flash of light and the bush turns into my target. He'd been hiding with that awesome spell that disguises you as random poo poo! Unfortunately, he's got the fog ring on and I can't target him. I get a couple good swings in but he ends up setting me on fire and one-shotting me. Five minutes later, I get notice that I'm being summoned to invade again. It's the same guy! This time I know what to expect, so I find a bush that looks different. I throw a fireball at it, and sure enough, there's a scream and a flash of light. I still can't target him, though, and he wins. I hate the fog ring so much.

If you move your stats around on the screen you can see by how much it affects your equip weight, this is true of just about any equipment change. The only time you can't double check something's effect on your total stats is when you're upgrading something.

I've discovered so far that doing the game SL1 just requires a lot more patience and pacing. I've upgraded my weapon (battle axe) and shield to +5, most of my armor to +2, and I've just defeated the Capra Shitdemon (previously Havel, Taurus, and Bell Gargoyles). I can't wait to get some even lighter armor and a lighter sword and the bloodshield so I can drop Havel's ring and use something more beneficial. Seems so far off at this point, but the ultimate goal of being a level 1 grief machine is one step closer to completion.  Next up, Depths and Blighttown.

Will I be able to join the Sunlight Bros at any point after Anor Londo or is there a missable window? I'm with the Chaos Servants right now and I want to get enough for the Pyromancy spells and, maybe, the shortcut. But after I do that stuff I want to join up with them and become grossly incandescent. Oh and is 25 faith the absolute bare minimum or can it go lower the more times I get summoned as a spirit?

Yeah, just be absolutely careful when trying to break him out. I made the mistake of swinging a giant claymore at him on my first run. He'll be able to upgrade your flame all the way up to +15, and Quelanna in blightown will ascend your flame and get it to +5 . Then you'll be doing like 400 damage with regular combustions.

I read it somewhere in the game, but I think O&S were the king's former knights, but basically got kicked out because Smough enjoyed executing people too much and I forgot what Ornstein's reason was. So they got regulated to protecting the princess.
