gently caress this out already? What's the goon census? I never played Demon Souls because I only have a 360, but wasn't this supposed to even better than the first?

I don't seem to be understanding this, I'm playing as a Knight and I just picked up that shield that they give you when the undead is shooting arrows at you. I try to equip the shield in the left hand, sword in the right hand, but only one of them is every actually equipped. What am I doing wrong with this insanely basic thing?

Nevermind, I figured it out. What's the point to shields though? It seems you can only attack with them, and swords do much more damage + you can block with the sword. Brace fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Dec 26, 2011 |

diospadre posted:Put the shield in your left hand. L1 blocks, and it blocks much better than a sword. Okay yeah, had that one confused. Are knights an alright class for a first time player? Also I'm at the part in the tutorial I guess, where theres the undead with the shield and the sword and theres the tips about parrying, but he just one shots me no matter what I do?

Category Fun! posted:Knights are alright, but starting with heavy armour kind of teaches you to block instead of dodge, which is going to hurt once you come up against enemies who can't be blocked. Mobility is incredibly important, Wanderer or Cleric are IMO the best starting classes. Yeah, the Asylum Demon is kind of tough because he just crushes me outright

So I should be trying to block most stuff, and if they override the block then start rolling around and running away? Also I got to the mainland or whatever, came down the elevator, walked through the water a little bit and a bunch of white witch kind of things two shotted me, and I tried attacking them but they completely resisted... should I just be running away from these kinds of guys?

Are backstabs always worth going for in melee? Or do you guys only go for them when you're confident enough that you know you can beat the enemy no matter what? I'm trying to get a general idea of what should be going on during melee, whether you should just be walling off and waiting for the absolute best times to attack in most situations or being more aggressive and going for backstabs.

So I've been trying at the Taurus Demon, but he's giving me a little bit of trouble, mostly in that when I do a plunging attack from the tower, I land right on top of his head and kind of have to awkwardly fall off and then try to push my way through his leg to get back up the ladder, which results in him getting off atleast one attack on me. It's such a scramble to try and get away from him in melee and I always end up getting smashed for half my health +

Is there a shortcut or a ladder I'm missing at the bonfire in the Upper Undead Burg? It seems like walking all the way back up through the way you killed the Taurus Demon and down to the bridge is an inefficient method of getting back to where you were.

Is the Hollow Soldier Shield worth upgrading? I have some titanite, and I'm going to farm for a while in that garden that mastershakeman just mentioned, so I'd be able to get it up to a nice little + if it's worth it? Which garden did you mean?

Oxxidation posted:If you've already smacked down the Gargoyles then you should be able to get better shields than that. If you have the time, farm the Balder Soldiers (the cape-wearing knights) for a bit with a few Humanity points to up your drop rate. They drop shards and some good equipment, including a shield. What kind of shield should I be looking for? I have the knight shield, but it didn't seem any better than this one.

Are any of those shields(other than the heater shield) available to someone whose killed Taurus and Gargoyles? I snagged a Balder Shield but if I'm at a huge disadvantage I'll find one of those. Also, hows the activity on the goonchat? I'll just ask all my questions in there if it's actually active.

My Equip Load is at 40.0/54.0, that means I'm just under 75% Equip Load, which means I'm slow as gently caress correct? Is it even possible to get between 25-50% with heavy armor and a sword/shield? I'm using the Drake Sword/Balder Shield, and Knight's Armour.

PorkFat posted:you get mask of the father as a random drop from pinwheel. ring of favor and protection by kicking the golden knight lautrec (if you've rescued him from his cell) off the cliff he sits on I fire link and reloading for the ring to appear. And you get havel's ring by avoiding his one shot wonders and wearing him down alone or in summoned groups if too weak. Are these items people generally wear, I assume there's more useful stuff than just increasing carry capacity? Although I wouldn't really know, just assuming.

So do you fight the Knight Lautrec again later in the game to get his armor set, or does he drop it along with his ring when you kill him at Firelink shrine?

Speaking of armor, does some better heavy armor just drop off dudes eventually, or is it more obscure like the ring of favor and some of the other items?

The way I'm reading the table on the .pdf in the OP is that you upgrade your regular weapon to +10 and then take it to +4 Lightning?

Oxxidation posted:That's how it works, yeah. But you'll need the smith in Anor Londo to do the lightning conversion. So do you guys use the Drake Sword until you have enough Titanite to take a Zweihander to Lightning +4/+5 usually or what? It seems like having a weapon with lightning would be amazing seeing as most of the bosses are really weak to lightning attacks.

Oxxidation posted:I was never big on the Drake Sword myself, but elemental conversions are generally the bee's knees, it's true. Best to use them on weapons with low stat scaling, though, because element weapons don't have any scaling at all to make up for the attack boost. I'm looking through the tables on wikidot, it seems like some of the spears are really really powerful, like the Silver Knight one, what do people generally use other than the Drake sword and the Lightning Zwei and the Lifehunt Scythe? I've probably seen those three mentioned the most in this thread.

Like, he'll stand there for a good second or so before he actually attacks. He did it with an Estus flask just now. Suffice to say, it really screws me over. It happens infrequently enough that I couldn't really say what's going on sometimes and not others, but it's a long enough pause that I definitely notice something's up. Could be your controller crapping out, other than that I have no idea what that could be. Are you using a wireless or a wired?

Where's a good place to farm souls that's right next to a bonfire? I'm looking to grind up some souls so I'm a little overleveled for the next areas I go into, and the Capra Demon seems like a pain in the rear end right now.

Speaking of the white soapstone, I grabbed it from Solaire of course, but it's not in my inventory for some reason? I clearly remember answering Yes to both of his questions and receiving the item, so I have no idea how it's not in my inventory.

How are you supposed to grab the claymore when it's right infront of the Hellkite dragon? He just roasts the bridge everytime he sees you, which ends up in a death after two fire breaths at most.

Wow, so I dropped my summon sign in the start of the Capra Demon area, we cleared out the area, the dude enters the Boss room, and proceeds to try to run back through the door for 2 minutes while I fight the boss, and then turns around and tries bolting up the stairs while I died

I'm at 35%, but I'm only SL27 or SL28 so I don't have that many stat points invested into anything really.
