Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah, fog doors, just like usual. Also sitting down at a bonfire is basically like returning to the nexus, it instantly resets everything. What's funny though is that if you walk into a bonfire room with an enemy chasing you, it will stop chasing you and slooowly back out of the room. Except Dark Knights, one chased me down and murdered me after I stood up from the bonfire.

Do the magic classes use shields? That might be my best bet if they don't.

Using spoilers to be safe but it was great how the guy was looking down at the first boss talking then it just flew up to him and knocked him the gently caress down. Good to see that they are getting some moves that will catch some people unaware.

Also how apparent is it that you've been invaded? Are there still escape spells that get grayed out, does the red menacing text appear immediately?

der juicen posted:I'm guessing heavt armor takes a little bit to get? edit: the issue is that shields typically absorb 100% of damage when you use them to block, but blocking with your weapon absorbs only 70%. Other than that, blocking is the same. The advantages of two-handing weapons is that they do more damage, need a lower strength stat in order to use (since your strength stat is effectively per arm), and your weapon is less likely to glance off walls and enemy shields.

I started playing Demon Souls after getting all hyped up for Dark. I really loved the game, despite not getting far into it. I'm kind of lost as for what I should be doing. I'm soul level 36 Knight (I think). Some of my equipment... Fluted Armor, Purple Flame Shield, Adjudicator's Shield, Spiked Shield, Quality Winged Spear +2, Broad Sword, Compound Long/Short Bow, Cling Ring, Thief's Ring, Regen Ring, and some resistance rings. Looks like I've cleared 1-1/2, 2-1, and 4-1. Pretty sure when I stopped I had some grand plan, but right now I have no real goal other than not dying. Someone want to give me a goal, like hunt down a critical piece of equipment I'm missing?

If anyone can point me to a fully programmable controller for the xb360, that'd be sweet. Without blocking? Do a run/roll light sword style and two hand it (like a longsword). It's pretty effective, and you can swap and two hand a lighter spear for most stuff. With mid/heavy armor you can survive like that pretty well, it's how I farm areas since the strikes are quicker, but you have to know the enemies' patterns a good bit better. Are you just missing your index finger(or is it in a brace, ect.? if that's all I heard about some nifty controller mounted doohicky that mounts and sits near your thumb....(sorry if that's too personal) efb; And sorry, but it could be possible rolling the style I talked about above -depending- on how well you can move the joystick

Scimitar is in the art, but the class is confirmed to use a battle axe. der juicen posted:I can't use my left hand. That's kind of harsh, but the best I can suggest is to try playing with the controller slightly between your legs so you can hit the bumper with your left knee, unless reaching over it actually feasible for you (I can't reach that far without letting go of the right half of the controller). Alternatively, start with the highest dex you can (warrior, thief, wanderer or hunter, I think) or go Sorcerer, pump memory/attunement for more spell slots and try and stay out of melee altogether. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Sep 29, 2011 |

The weapons you have now are pretty good, although there's a dragon longsword you can find in 2-2 that's very useful for worlds 3 and 5. Consider wearing armor thats light enough to let you do the quick roll.

der juicen posted:I can't use my left hand. Good luck dude. These games are brutally hard with two hands, so I can't imagine playing them with one. I think your best bet is to use a two-handed weapon and pump Strength as much as you can to increase your swing speed. I used the Great Sword (the second largest sword in the game) for the entirety of a Demon's Souls run, and it works well once you get the timing down for all of your moves.

Thanks yall. I've pretty much trained myself since my accident happened, once I figured ?I could play games. I've nearly beaten Deus Ex on second hardest difficulty, beaten asscred, dragon age 2, currently playing Madden and NHL, which use the left stick to move. Well, all those games do. I've gotten use to hitting LB fast enough in those games that need it. I think I may have a chance with a range character or a rolling tank. I don't like shields anyways.

To add to this, the bulk of enemies in world 3 are vulnerable to physical damage, while those in world 2 are vulnerable to magic (and piercing). In world 4 they're vulnerable to crushing (for the most part), while they're weak to fire in world 5. A solid idea is to explore the first part of world 5 with whatever fire tools you have (spells, weapons, oils) until you find the blessed mace +1, then use the regen and crushing on that to get through world 4, where the souls are plentiful and the loot is good.

Also you can do some quality grinding at the beginning of 4-2 with your bow.

I've gotten use to hitting LB fast enough in those games that need it. I'd say go light armor for as quick a roll as possible. Being able to avoid attacks will probably be more useful than taking things on the chin in heavy armor. Heavy armor tends to make you really slow, so dodging becomes difficult. It's not so bad with a shield, but you usually have to hold the block button down, not just tap it every once in a while.

I know there's a Demon Souls topic but there's probably more people here so I'll ask too: I've beaten 1-1, 1-2 and I'm working on the first part of Tower Of Latria to get the spell npc dude. I started as royalty for the mp regen ring and so far I've just been using souls to raise magic attack..probably going for a pure magic character but is there any equipment I should be looking out for? Most of what I've found is too heavy for me or seems more physical oriented..I haven't changed any of my gear at all. I just upgraded my buckler to +1 and I have a cling ring I think.

The Cresent Falchion in 4-1 would be a big help to you, since it uses your magic stat as a damage multiplier. Also gives you MP regen so you can replace that ring with something else.

As Palleon mentioned, you need a Crescent weapon so you can drop the Fragrant Ring. The falchion in 4-1 is probably the "easiest" to get - otherwise, you'll need to upgrade another weapon to +6 then start farming level 5 for the stones you need for Crescent. Here's how to get the falchion in 4-1: when you go through the first fog door, immediately turn left. Walk down the tunnel (have your shield up) and go out the door on the ground floor of the tower. There's a black skeleton here that will ruin your poo poo, so run past him, grab the sword, then jump down so the skeleton resets.

First time I saw that thing, I was so intimated that I edged towards him shield up. Of course his first attack breaks my guard completely, while taking off half my health. The next attack took me out completely. Later though, he became a part of my Skeleton Speed Soulgrinding.
