Well trying to gift this to my friend may not have been a great idea. He says he may be done after having played it for 90 minutes. He somehow missed the starting weapon on two different characters and was trying to chip away at the Asylum Demon with a broken sword hilt.

Snagged this off amazon, had previously played it w/o online support in the past for about an hour, but man this game fuckin' owns with all the messages and rating messages and looking at phantoms with crazy-rear end weapons you don't have. I got smashed by the Taurus Demon by being stupid, sadly, but that's not much of a surprise because it's a bit of a dick. I've really been enjoying being lead to areas I never would have explored due to the messages, though.

Even if they get past UA, I see the entirety of the game being a huge roadblock.

I got far enough into the DLC to get Dark Bead, and wow! You all were right, this thing is so powerful. Especially when all the projectiles hit the same target, this is kinda crazy. I would have thought it'd have a higher INT requirement considering how strong it is.

I'm planning on a Grant sunbro gimmick. Anything that sticks out in this build? http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?b...W4sd29vZGVuLDE= (The dex is there mostly as an earlygame concession and me messing around with stats) Of course, now I realize I won't actually be able to co-op with anybody at that level... I guess I could give up the sunlight spear for some other useful stuff and get to invading.

Are the big giant dudes in Gwynevere's cathedral the only source of Titanite chunks in the game? They're kind of annoying to farm but my cold Nippon steel demands upgrading.

GeckoMissingo posted:Levels don't mean much in relation to how powerful someone is. It's more likely the first guy had really good armor. Out of curiosity where did you get invaded the first time? Wandering around in the cathedral that houses the bell tower and gargoyles. Why he felt the need to invade a very early game character I do not know. I could have killed him due to the weapon he was wielding was easy to avoid, but it would have taken me prolly 30 minutes just to whittle his health down.

On low levels runs, if you're using pyromancy, it's important to really get a handle on the timing of the combustions. Usually you'll have time for one after certain attacks from each boss. You just gotta learn what they are. Solaire also helps a bunch in that fight.

I'm giving my older brother (I'm 24, he's 27) a copy of Dark Souls for Christmas. Problem is, I got it on Amazon as a Steam code and can't figure out a decent way to give him his gift. My family is gathering this year for Christmas and doing the "sit down and open presents" thing, so I'm trying to figure out a decent way to physically present him his gift. First thought was emailing him the code and giving him an empty box, then, when he opens it, leaping up, punching him in the mouth, and yelling "WELCOME TO DARK SOULS, BITCH!" But I doubt my family would approve, so that's out. If anyone can think of a picture that perfectly captures the essence of Dark Souls, I'd print it out and put his code at the bottom, along with an IOU for three calls for aid slash "get out of jail free" for when I invade him (ie three times he can call me up for help with a boss, answer to a significantly spoilery question, or to tell me to gently caress off when I'm invading him). Seems like a decent way to do it, though if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears.

Buy a christmas cracker, carefully open it up, remove everything from the inside and insert a piece of paper with Dark Souls written on it along with the code, then fill up the rest of the cracker with nails and close it up again. Would work better if they could explode out non-lethally, but just sort of scattering around will suffice. Or, you could just print off a large screen-cap of the YOU DIED image and write it on there. Both are good.

To build on the post above, just write the code on the paper but not in order, just a mess of numbers and letters. Let them figure it out. Can use one of the 3 help options to actually find out how to install the game.

Try to start a sword fight with him, stab him in the back and let him fall to the ground. Throw a wadded up piece of pink or blue paper on him that has "You died" written on it. Roll away and let him open the paper that includes the code.

For getting a tail weapon, do you have to actually hit the tail with a melee weapon to "cut" it off, or is just doing enough damage to it with magic or anything enough for it to come off?

You don't have to specifically cut it off. In a lot of cases just doing enough damage to the tail will cause it to pop off, or at least, that's the case with the centipede demon and the gargoyles from what I've seen.

To gift just the code, get a bottle of Sunny D, tear off the label, dress it up like the Estus flask, toss it in a box with an "antique key" you can buy at Hobby Lobby or Michaels for like ten bucks, and include what somebody else mentioned--a printout of "PREPARE TO DIE" with the code in the back. Bonus points if you photoshop it on so it looks like the little subtitle that pops up announcing invasions/summons

Went and bought a gamepad for this yesterday, and already put 9 hours in. gently caress yeah. I'm at the 3rd major bonfire- where I can either go down to the Prowler Demon to Darkroot Forest, or back toward the Church toward the Bell Gargoyle boss. I'm fairly sure I hosed my character up though. My vitality is at 12 while my Endurance is at 25. Warrior. Someone told me "Stamina is all that matters" and now pretty much every fight is a question of whether I lost half my HP in a hit or not.

That's every battle in this game. Keep raising your END unless you're getting one-shot by everything or find a new weapon you need better stats for, and want to use. Don't forget to upgrade your shield and pieces of armor. Armor itself doesn't matter, wear whatever looks cool, but make sure to upgrade it

Goddamn it guys help me out, someone must have had the same issue. I've been without Dark Souls for three days and I was forced to resub to WoW  Basically, whenever I start a game on any character (new characters even), I instantly fall through the world, die, and repeat. I've reinstalled the game, verified files and nothing loving works. Also the colors of my characters are way off. I haven't done anything with the cheatengine (never downloaded even)
