Here's the store: http://www.yelp.com/biz/game-play-los-angeles

That store is actually owned by my friend

im hoping my previous message wasnt missed but is there a trick to kicking or jump attacking? The game says Lstick+r1 and r2

That just does normal attacks for me, what am i missing?

I feel ashamed. Im a knight and I keep getting my poo poo kicked in by the packs of 2 skeletons in the graveyard before the catacombs.

I can kill them but it takes too much work and too many potions.

What is the easy way to kill them?

A lot of different people are stating that you must attack the armored boar in the head in order to get his helm. I backstabbed him exclusively and got the helm.

The future press strategy guide states that it is a random drop.

Don't worry if you miss it, you can get it later and its not that great

Dexterity is used for dodging, not endurance.

not exactly. you get an enhanced dodge based on your max encumbrance compared to how much you have equipped.

Does the knight with the large club in the bottom of the tower in the Undead Burg drop anything cool or guard anything interesting? I don't know if I want to keep trying to kill him.

Also, are there any decent soul farming places that you can do early in the game?

he drops a ring that gives +50% max encumbrance. If your current encumbrance is 25% of your max you get access to a much better roll

Its not that much but its helpful to use the shortcut ladder from the undead burg up to where the bridge dragon is.
Run out in the bridge and run down the stairs. The dragon will roast the skeletons and you get 300 souls. If you go up the stairs with your shield raised the spear skeletons will not attack you

As an aside, I wanted to ask people with Future Press guides: Did the pages on yours come slightly wavy? I got mine from Gamestop and it looked fine in the store, but after taking off the shrink wrap I noticed this, in addition to what looks like a dried wet spot on one of the later pages. I suspect some douche employee at store used it and resealed it, but I fear they might not let me return it since I have no way of proving it wasn't me.

Mine had wavy pages. It's the paper and will fix itself if you flip through it and leave the book open halfway. The pages seem to flatten themselves out and the ink finally dries.

what are the max stats you need to learn every spell and equip everything? Is there anything over 50?

I did Havel before leveling any stats on my thief and didn't have any problems with him, but now I can't beat Capra at lvl 28 :argh:

Havel is pretty silly once you figure out that everything will miss when you circle to the left
