I tried to find it in the thread but I didn't see it, so pardon me if this has been asked before. Do Pyro's need to raise intellect? I've been reading everything I can find online and some people say it raises spell damage, some people say it only improves the physical attack of the catalyst, and some people say it does absolutely nothing at all. Does anyone know if raising int will do jack squat for a pyro that wants to go melee/pyro route?

I know I'm missing like, a vital part of this game, but what exactly is humanity used for? I think I remeber soemthing about reversing hollowed status, and upgrading bonfires, but Upgrading Humanity seems to do nothing, and I can't upgrade bonfires cause I lack some sort of ritual. Also, I keep hearing about this scythe. Where is this located, and is it Str or Agi based?

redreader posted:A few questions: 1. Killing enemies gives a chance for them to drop a nonconsumable humanity, it automatically gets added to your count. 2. Go ahead and upgrade what you want, the blacksmith sells shards for 800 a pop, which is rather easy to get. 3. I don't believe you can summon until you get the stone from that guy. I'm on PS3 as well, and I've seen about 10 different stones to summon people in the Parish alone.

The more humanity you have, the better items and better item drop percentage you receive from monsters. Humanity is also used to upgrade your chosen Covenant

Alectai posted:Are you playing the 360 version? I know I haven't seen a whole lot of other players there, which pisses me right the gently caress off, as it's the only version I could find. There doesn't seem to be much activity, I don't know - maybe it is because the world is so open, but this game feels much less populated than the last one. I am most disappointed in the lack of gravelords and vagrants, personally.

Just picked this up earlier and this game is pretty sweet. I can see that if I was more patient I would probably never die, especially if I grabbed every enemies attention and dragged them all back to the same place I know how to fight at. However, half the fun is retreating to mildly acceptable places (like bridges) and attempting to duel them as they all claw in your direction. I don't understand parries and I don't know how to kick. I have no idea how to tell if one thing is better than the other. I am really digging this clueless gaming.

The first boss dudes room was just plastered in bloodstains.

I only had like three hours to play last night so I know I'm not that far yet, but I plan on doing as much multi as I can. Helpful phantom and PVP asshat.

To whoever asked (coyo7e I think?) about an IRC room, there are 4 people sitting in #Darksouls on synirc. There were a couple more last night. That's all I know of right now. I went into the Depths and for the life of me couldn't find a bonfire before I got to the Gaping Dragon and died, naturally. Is there one that I'm missing? That's a long hike!

This should be waiting for me when I get home from work today  Is the master key worthwhile to get as your starting item? I played a thief character in Demon's Souls so I'll probably start as a heavy armour / big weapon type character in Dark Souls.

The _____ Souls games have always been about community input and cooperation. In the face of grave danger, intense challenge, and mysterious obscurity, it IS very much a gameplay element to have communal chats, posts, wikis, etc.

I really want to get the bonfire behind the dragon on the bridge (and open that gate) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do so. If I sprint down and stick in the left corner, he jumps down eventually and walks up to/by me but if I move he just fire blazes the whole bridge multiple times. Any tips?

Parry timing seems a bit more forgiving in this game than it was in Dark Souls, which is good because it's a great way to kill tough enemies (like that golden Yurt look-alike in the Parish). It's really worth it to spend ten minutes screwing around with it at the first bonfire in the Burg until you get the hang of it to do it consistently. Makes fighting easier, faster, and a lot more fun against the low-level enemies. edit: and I know that by killing him early I'm missing out on better loot later but that's fine, I'm just going to get it in my second playthrough of the game anyway

I did it by standing in one of those safe alcoves, pinging him with an arrow, then hauling rear end while he flew down to attack me.

Funkmaster General posted:All these people asking what to do after ringing the first bell are making me feel Bad At Video Games(tm), because I'm still stuck on the gargoyle fight. I've wasted almost all of my consumable humanity summoning the NPC white phantom. I've yet to see a single other player offering help. I have the drake sword and I go in with firebombs, but neither seems to help much. The NPC draws their attention, which is nice, but he also draws them away from me physically, which makes it nearly impossible to hit them. Then he dies and I'm stuck with fighting both of them. They won't get far enough away from each other to make it feasible to hit either of them, and if I get bold and rush in I am always knocked down after one or two swings, which leads to certain death because it gives the other one a chance to block my escape route and prevent me from drinking my flask. Protip for fighting the gargoyles: The second gargoyle's fire breath absolutely destroys the first gargoyle. Once the first gargoyle is down just wait for the second to breath fire then attack it from behind/the side. If you can't beath the second gargoyle 1v1 then maybe you are Bad at Video Games. Persevere!

I just killed the boss at the end of blighttown, Quelaag, is there a shortcut out of this shithole anywhere or do I have to backtrack my way out? I want to use the souls I just got to buy the key that opens that door in the garden buuuut making my way all the way back to that vendor intact seems daunting and I'm hoping there is a shortcut since I'm not seeing one.

I'm thinking its about time for a new thread / OP. I'm catching up to the thread at work and I'm seeing a lot of repeat questions and such that would do well in a new FAQ section. Or at least add a section in the FAQ in this OP for the "How do I kick/falling attack/kill the first real boss/get that sword " crowd and maybe some notes on where you can go once the tutorial ends. If I'm feeling it, I can start a writeup for a new op when I get home.

Managed to avoid dying until I tried fighting that tall knight in the undead burbs (Bastard didn't flinch at all to any of my attacks). After a few more deaths, including one with me being caught in between enemies (I was on my way to recover souls and humanity too  ), I got to the Taurus Demon and beat it on my first try. Made some more progress, past the dragon bridge, opened up a shortcut, then logged off at the bonfire.I really like this game. So far, the game has been mostly challenging, but rewarding, just like in demon's souls.

Excellent, thanks buddy. I'll get on that. Got any tips on which shield would be a good permanent choice for Pyromancers? I've been sticking with the Wooden Shield you find in the beginning and it has been pretty decent so far.

der juicen posted:YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS EAT MY DICK BULL BITCH. That's pretty much what happened to me. I was dying and dying because I only had 3 pine resins and wanted to 'get good at him' before I used the second one. Then I jumped on him, swiped 2-handed with my scimitar and he died before I ran out of endurance. I had called my girlfriend in to 'watch me die', which I honestly thought would happen, then I killed him SO EASILY that she probably thought I had been retarded for ever dying to him. He didn't even hit me once. I screamed at him and said "YESSSSSSSS gently caress YOU rear end in a top hat, loving DIE!" Good times. I always ended up dying to his overhand strike, not having enough time to heal properly, and trying to roll out of the way. He has crazy movement tracking on that overhead swipe, looks like the only way to get out of it is to be right in front of him and roll between his legs as he starts the actual hit. And I never tried blocking with my shield.

Having a great time with this so far, but I've run into a bit of an issue. When I spoke to Solaire a few times in the Burg area, I didn't receive the White Soapstone for multiplayer and upon returning to the area he's not there anymore. Does anybody know if there's somewhere else I can grab it, or will I not be able to try again until NG+?
