If you didn't see it coming I can see how it would be a pain in the rear end but I've never had someone successfully use either Acid Cloud or the Scraping Spear on me. They're both pretty poo poo really.

By definition a covenant is some sort of formal agreement you make with another party, kind of like a contract. So there are certain to be rules.

So far I've done the Gargoyle fight, Taurus Demon, Hydra, Gaping Dragon, Capra Demon and the Moonlight Butterfly. Finished the depths, poked around the Valley of the Drakes for a bit and found some items. All of the bosses so far have seemed really really easy, and I'm beginning to think it's because I'm overgeared. I found a Black Knight Sword and shield from the first couple ones I fought and have them at +3 and +2 respectively. The sword completely rips through every mob (500-600 damage on a good 2H hit, I can do about 4 hits with my small stamina bar), 3 shotting the Butterfly when I went to fight it. I've had the Capra Demon and Gaping Dragon both drop their special weapon and traded Snuggly for the huge mace, but none of those items look like they even come close to the sword. Did I get really lucky with good gear drops or are the bosses just weak in the beginning? For reference I'm something like SL 37, I wear either Eastern set, Elite Knight +3/4 Set or the thief armor depending on the situation. I did play Demon's Souls extensively, so maybe I'm just getting a boost from player experience. e:The man who absolves you of sin and whatnot in the bell tower told me that Petrus was "steeped in sin", does he go on a murderous rampage or anything later on? :< Read fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Jan 23, 2012 |

Kongming posted:Most of the bosses are pretty easy, also yeah a Black Knight sword will absolutely destroy the early bosses. Yeah, I think the gargoyles might've posed some problems if I hadn't killed the first one as soon as the second one showed up. (Should we be spoilering the fact that there are two of them like we did in the Demon's Souls thread for Maneater?) I'm really looking forward to finishing my first playthrough so I can run through again and do a bunch more sunbroing before I move on past each boss :3. Loved the poo poo out of Demon's Souls PVP too, so I'm looking forward to doing s'more of that. e: "Heh, I can one shot all of you not even gonna bother dodging" -swarmed and comboed to death-, happens every time I feel smug. ee: Any suggestions as to where I should go next?

I know there's one spot you can't reach without letting like 7 or 8 balls roll down one of the routes so it fills up a pit and then crashes through a wall with the next one. My bad, I meant the quieting ring. Not the Fog Ring.

Chilling in Anor Londo in the second Bonfire room, the circular one with a big rear end statue. Suddenly I notice the central stair column rotating, "weird, guess it automatically resets to the neutral position after a while?". Then it starts to rotate in the opposite direction, back down. I head out there to see what it is and notice a green mist running(?) down the stairs, walk up to it to see if it's friendly or not and as I realise my mistake it 3 hits me through my raised shield ):. What the poo poo. (I was human at the time)

I got so close a few times but could never pull out the win. Yeah, you want something beefier than the Spider Shield for Sif, a Silver Knight Shield or Black Knight Shield would be great if you can wear one without being burdened.

Gilgameshback posted:What do you all think of the Black Knight Sword? I've been using it all through Sen's and have gotten to like it, though the R2 move is only useful in very limited situations. It seems more user-friendly than the Zweihander at least. Black Knight Sword is one of the best all around weapons for most of the game imo. Also the gargoyles are a callback to Demon's Souls Tower of Latria, they took you from the 3-1 boss fight to the 3-2 archstone.

Heath posted:Exploring Sen's Fortress, I came upon an elevator platform with a strange bloodstain on it. In a moment of clarity, I looked up and noticed that the elevator would shove me into the spikes above if I stepped on it too soon. I hopped on the platform as it was coming down instead and was able to bypass this otherwise deadly trap. Feeling pretty proud of myself, I step forward to open the chest at the bottom and claim my reward. Man I love the poo poo out of that part of Sen's Fortress. I'd been hitting EVERY chest in the game with my heavy attack all because of the one mimic they showed us in the trailers, it finally paid off  .

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:The swamp's poison was also really weak, if you equipped some regen gear your health would go up and you could just wander right through. Yeah, an Adjudicator's Shield +5 negates the poison entirely while still giving you regen. Even if you didn't have enough Colorless Demon's Souls to +5 your shield you could just run some combo of a blessed weapon, the regen ring and the shield. 5-2 really wasn't that bad, just the least fun level.

I can't even get close to it and I don't really want to invest in a bunch of dragonslayer arrows just to have it pelt me with pain water and die. Run up really close, dodging the water blasts. When you're close up in the water it stops with the ranged attacks and slams you with it's heads, you can easily block these with any not-complete-poo poo shield and a bit of endurance. Then just smack it's heads as they come down. (Don't walk too far out and die to the water cliff like I did 10 times on my first charater)

SpaceDrake posted:Speaking of weapon stat scaling, is there anywhere that breaks down when a weapon will stop scaling with a particular stat? I assume the letters indicate that it'll stop at some point (like the Oocaile stopping at 12 for Sorcs) but the game doesn't exactly make it transparent Doesn't the Oolacile Catalyst have a flat m.adjust, one that doesn't scale at all? The letters just refer to how strong of an effect stats have on the weapon, not some cap at which each stat stops affecting it. e: If you're a Sorcerer, just pick up some pyro for the Crystal Caves~

Saw him and shot big fireballs at him, missed 2/3 of them since it was hard to gauge distance with the solid black arena, hit one of them for 600 or something and then meleed him to death. Other one spawns and I get all up in his grill w/ Great Combustion and some 2H Claymore action, then I beat the other two to death with my Claymore the end. e: I wish they made light armor a legitimate option, but you always need end for any character so there's never a reason to use the really light stuff :|.

If you literally just mean "how do i get out of here", exit through one of the side doors and then edge past the holes, circle the room till you find stairs leading out, walk up the roots to get out. Is there anyone who wants some SL 65-ish PS3 assistance, with anything other than Gwyn since I'm not there yet! edit: You can use that to lead the chaos eaters into the pits, if you aggro them and run past the hole they just drop into it like coins in a slot machine.

I wish co-op were made a lot easier than waiting around for hours for people who may or may not be there to notice you. The PVP is by and far my favourite part of both games, and I spent hours in Demon's Souls doing it, will be doing so in Dark Souls too once I finish it a few more times and get some builds down.
