Once I reached Firelink I went in every direction but the Undead Burg at first and was maimed horribly by some powerful creatures each time. Even once I hit the Burg I took a few wrong turns and ran into badass knights that I had no hope of defeating. It reminded me of strolling around a corner in 1-1 and getting annihilated by red eyes.

Because if you have to cough up the upgrade items to repair a broken weapon, holy poo poo I am never using that attack ever again. Not normally. He just really, really broke it by using the two handed heavy attack a lot so it will cost a ton to repair it to full. If you use it as a normal sword you won't have any problems.

I've read that you will be able to summon Lautrec to help you fight the gargoyles and gaping dragon if you free him. I didn't see his sign there though, only Solaire's. For future reference, anything special you have to do to get him to show up?

Do these dudes that I'm farming in the forest drop any stuff? I've mostly been making them plunge to their deaths (which never stops being funny to me for some reason) but I've actually fought them a few times and didn't get anything. Sometimes I don't even have to lure them away, there was an invisible guy using a bow who rolled himself backwards off of a cliff as I approached him for a cool 5,000 souls.Stealthed Zombie posted:Picked up the hardcover guide by Futurepress at Gamestop and I'd like to reiterate just how great it is. I'm going to try not to rely on it too much when initially exploring things, but it's really good quality. This sounds like Maneater Mildred, who is an NPC and not another player. She is easily killed when she invades you but does a good job tanking the boss if you summon her.

I was going to fight this guy normally too, I was running in to attack him since the arrows give his position away and he switched to a sword, rolled backwards, and killed himself. I also wandered a bit farther and encountered my first catigator, which did a crazy rolling attack that I was not prepared for at all and sent me flying. It then immediately did the same attack again, killing me before I could stand back up.

Despite knowing what would happen if I fell, I still managed to blunder through a hole in the Depths. Against all the odds, I avoided being cursed. The first three frogs got the jump on me as I landed right on them but I desperately slashed away and killed them before rolling out of the fog in time. Being human definitely seemed to help me resist it long enough to escape. After that I creeped along and blasted any frog I saw with a bow before they could get close and finished them all off. Then I was invaded by Kirk the spiked guy but he was easily dispatched with a fire orb. I was a little disappointed that he dropped nothing but humanity though, I have bad luck with drops so far.

Funkmaster General posted:Do NPC invaders follow the same rules as human invaders, or can I return to cleared areas as a human and fight the invading NPCs there? As said, if you beat the boss of the area then it seems like you've missed your chance at them. Also, even though they're NPCs it look like you have to be online to trigger them - out of curiosity I experimented to see if Kirk would spawn offline and he only popped up when I was logged in, I guess to simulate a "real" invasion. This is not true for NPC white phantoms, they will appear regardless of whether or not you're online.

Kiwillian posted:Yeah, I just haven't been in the Depths much. I read there is a shortcut near-ish the start by the big butcher guy? Where is that and how much of a shortcut is it? There are a bunch of crates and barrels piled up behind the table the butcher was chopping meat at, crash through them and there's a doorway that will take you to a platform in the sewers (it's a one way trip though). It has a corpse with a spider shield and is a nice cheesy sniper spot for the mini-boss that resides there. Once it's dead you can drop down and reach the main boss pretty easily by sliding down a slope but you'll have to hug the wall while sliding or you'll drop right into frog town.

Man, I didn't really have much trouble with some of the previous oft complained about stuff like capra demon and the curse frogs but Blighttown is horrible. I've plunged to my doom about six times, died twice because I got completely stuck in a wall while rolling, leaving me helpless to enemies (this was super bullshit and I lost 15,000 souls because of it), and got mobbed by five infinitely respawning mosquitoes in the swamp while trying to heal poison. I also have no idea where to go once I'm down there.

Chances are you're just going to die and lose it at least once so might as well have a fully stack of anti-poison. Those souls I lost were all gained in Blighttown itself, I went in with nothing. I had to re-run the area so many times I started amassing a big stack and I usually recovered it successfully until getting rendered motionless by being stuck in a drat wall.

Hell yeah, finally got through Blighttown. Beat the boss with the help of Maneater Mildred and some random dude I summoned by the bonfire. I also bought most of the pyromancies from the lady in the swamp but ran out of souls before I could get Firestorm. So, uh, how do I get back out? Do I have to climb back up? Going straight heads to the Demon Ruins and I'm pretty sure I don't want to mess with that yet.

Roumba posted:I know that sometimes you can gain an extra Estus Flask because someone kindled at the same bonfire you are based at. But what can give you humanity spontaneously? Not the item, just direct humanity. Is it a set number of souls collected/monsters killed or something? It appears that you get humanity from just killing regular enemies in areas where you have not beaten the boss yet. I don't think it's very well understood how it works yet but there's believed to be a hidden percentage meter that fills every time you kill something. It's not limited to just one humanity either, I kept dying from falling in Blighttown but kept recovering my blood stain so I ended up with two held humanity just from killing all of the enemies there repeatedly. The gold phantom you saw was a member of the Warriors of Sunlight covenant. Also I don't believe there's any way to interact with people at bonfires, you can try gesturing but they may not be able to see you even if you see them.

Is there any reliable way to break grapples? I was fighting a group of the weird crow people in the painted world and one of them got me in a grapple attack that I wasn't aware they had. Took me from 1018 HP to dead. I tried mashing the attack buttons but that didn't seem to do anything.

I have no idea, I was at full health and then done with that one attack, maybe I had taken a simultaneous hit from another one. It surprised the poo poo out of me, I was on a rooftop grabbin' loot and four of them dropped down. I tried to get a combustion off to fry the whole group but one of them grabbed me and that was it. Other than that, that area was pretty nice actually. Cool looking environment, tons of stuff to grab, varied enemies, the best NPC invader, a pretty neat boss even if she was easy.

Red Mundus posted:Well Goddamn, never thought of that! However if I run past I can't summon Siggy. Is he worth summoning? I summoned him so far for each run and he seems good at taking the heat off. I guess I can go solo considering how slow fatboy is. I'm a bit calmer now so I'm actually looking forward to trying the boss again. The reason I got so pissed was that I had almost won the battle but the the input bug kicked in and I ended up drinking a flash instead of blocking. That REALLY needs to patched ASAP. Solaire is helpful in that fight, he won't do much damage but he will tank Smough and allow you to easily isolate Ornstein to kill him first if that's what you're after. Then once it's down to just Smough, he will mainly focus on Solaire since Solaire will just keep moving towards him so you'll get a bunch of free hits. The fight really is easier with at least one other friendly in there to take the heat off.

I've been phantoming there (I'm SL 55) and with three players, Ornstein drops quickly even in his second form because he'll have trouble deciding who to hit, or just have somebody pull aggro while the others pummel him from behind with fire and Captain America shields. Also you should probably communicate to your phantoms somehow that you want to kill Smough first because generally people go for Ornstein first.

invalid posted:He always ends up shooting me in the back. I've tried waiting longer but I always end up pinned against a wall until my stamina is gone. Not really, this part can be pretty tricky, you kind of have to luck out. Once I reached the guy on the right, I didn't try to run away and lure him off of the ledge, I just turtled behind my shield. I didn't have a lot of stamina left but enough to block a few attacks and counter with a kick that knocked him off. Once you get far enough to the right, the one on the left will keep shooting but won't be able to hit you. I favored going for the one on the right since you can just continue on if you get past him, if you go to the left you still have to go back right and there's a possibility of loving up still. Alternatively, if you have poison arrows, you can cheese it by shooting them and just hiding until the poison damage kills them.

drat, I would have had Seath easily on the first try if I had known that all of the clam monsters that I ran past on the way were going to warp into the fight with me and completely block me into the path of the boss's attacks. Then I was knocked off of a crystal bridge blocking an attack by a golem on the way back.  The stuff in the Duke's Archives seemed to hit really hard for some reason, even the snake men were a lot beefier than they were in Sen's Fortress. I might have ventured in there too early? Also hit up the Great Hollow and Ash Lake after that, pretty cool area for something that's totally optional.

And yeah, the stuff in all three endgame zones is pretty loving beefy. Yeah, I got him pretty easily once I made it back there. I tried going for the tail but he smashed me with it and nearly one shot so I just said gently caress it and spammed pyromancy. I just wanted to get out of that area because I got my rear end kicked a few times by archers who would hit for huge damage and those stupid channelers sniping me from two floors up. I'm gonna have to go back to farm them for their trident though, I want that thing. enojy posted:I'm awfully sure that's not supposed to happen! That boss took me at least a couple of tries, with some others taking upwards of a dozen (or more) tries. I would run straight back to the fog gate, ignoring enemies on the way, and they would always get locked out of the gate once I entered. In fact, once I pushed X to enter the gate, I enjoyed a period of invincibility (attacks that appeared to have hit me from the outside do nothing.) It was just on the first try, there's no fog gate to go through when you first encounter the boss so the enemies followed me right in and teleported to the boss's location so as I ran up to engage him they all huddled around and I had no way to escape their attacks and the crystal ray thing. On subsequent attempts there is a gate that will block the clams out.

That sounds like the antiquated set, which you get from freeing Dusk of Oolacile. The skirt is surprisingly really good and has absurdly high defensive stats. I believe the crown in the Moonlight set you can get after defeating Gwyndolin also boosts magic. Sadly the Xanthous (monk) set doesn't have anything special about it I don't think.
