Figured out Ornstein 2.0's impale dodging after a second try. I appreciate you guys posting the advice though. So Way of the White reduces your chances of getting invaded? I call bullshit on that. Everytime i've so much as thought about reversing my hollowing to kindle some flames, some rear end in a top hat invades right before I hit the kindle button. I just want to kindle my flame, I'm okay with getting jumped afterwards. It's a good thing i killed Jeremiah in the painting first, because what the gently caress, i got jumped by a translucent ninja? I thought the ring to make you semi-invisible only worked in the forest.

I'm Soul Level 92, with havel's armor, and those two skeletons prior to meeting Patches almost killed me in two seconds, because the arrows distracted me. It's a good thing i've been playing as a hollow. Can't imagine being invaded in this loving area, or much less traversing it when i was Soul Level 25. By the way, after some clam grinding, I finally got the Black Knight Greataxe to +5, and holy poo poo, it's one of the best weapons I have ever used and worth the high requirement. While the standing strongs are abysmally slow, and require some tricky timing to get somebody without getting hit, the standing normals are as fast as a one handed sword. I'm hitting anything and everything with 400+ damage with the fast normals, or if i'm feeling over confident i can shoryuken a motherfucker with standing strong for 700-800. To me it's so much better than Lightning Zweihander because you can pull fast attacks with a huge rear end weapon.

It doesn't help that the lightning changes a lot and can severely cut off your vision, but once you go through it a little more it's not as difficult. The big advantage to entering through Valley the first time is, you reach the ground a HELL of a lot quicker than going through the depths. And you could deal with the biggest bullshit concentration of Pgymies there now rather than later, and take that Firekeeper soul.

Yes, 70 hours, and level 95, but i beat the game. Did alot of powerlevelling and preparation for NG+. I thought that the weapon boss souls would carry over though. Guess I'm not getting that achievement anytime soon. Question that pertains the boss souls:So, you don't keep the boss souls, so how exactly are you supposed to build Gwyn's sword? Is the end of NG++ basically different and offers no ending? I thought I would be able to tank some hits on NG+, but even with Havel's armor, it's as if you were wearing regular heavy armor in the normal game. poo poo's ridiculous, but at least after two hours of play, im almost to Quelaag. Knowing everything really makes a difference.

Where is the pyromancer trainer in Blighttown anyway? I've looked everywhere but i can't seem to find it. Since it's NG+, Im pretty sure the next time i rescue the dude, he'll run off straight away just because i picked up the Chaos Whip spell off Izalith.

Once you know what you're doing, New Game Plus is so quick (Knight Character with Havel's Armor) Been like three hours, and i'm already at Anor Londo. The one time i have died at least three times in one area was the Sniper section. Completely skipped the Depths because of the Master Key, and i wouldn't have it any other way. gently caress the majority of Blighttown. For you folks already near the end at NG+, how was Smough/Ornstein, Seath and Four Kings? Those are the only bosses i had more than your average trouble on in Normal mode, especially Seath because i tried cutting his tail.

Schroeder91 posted:Finally picked this up from blockbuster(1 copy and the same guy had it from release until today), can anyone tell what class should I play so I'm not getting From my experience and the information out there, Warrior and Knight are good beginner choices if you want to be a sturdy slashy fella. Both start with heater shields, that can block 100% physical damage, extremely handy. Warrior's stats are mostly into weapon Modifiers like STRength and DEXterity, enabling you to wield weapons early, while Knight has points in VITality and i think ENDurance, letting you tank hits better. The stats are the only thing that set "classes" apart from others. You could build your character to whatever you want. I use the "Master Key" Gift, because it helps me reach areas early.

Schroeder91 posted:Thanks! I think I'll go Knight so I can soak up all those blows I'll be taking. Something you ought to know though. Tanking hits, and blocking hits in general, consume your bar of stamina, which is what you use to do anything, whether it be striking, dodging, jumping and all that poo poo. Be careful when you're blocking because if you lose all your stamina when blocking, you leave yourself open to a counter-hit, in other words, getting hit for a fuckton more damage than usual. Keep your eyes peeled for different 100% physical shields and check their stats, the higher stability number, the less stamina consumed when blocking hits, for example.

Living One Post at a Time posted:Should I bother spending my precious twinkling titanite on upgrading the sword in hopes of eventually getting some of these elemental weapons I heard so much about, or save it for something better later? Twinkling Titanite is usually for unique weapons like the Black Knight Arsenal, and special armors.

Jetpack Postman posted:While I'm a bit hesitant to give any upgrade advice at this point since a big balance patch is going to hit near the end of the month, I still think that Twinkling Titanite is better used for upgrading unique armor sets if you're into wearing heavy armor at all. The armor sets with the best defense and poise values tend to be unique while the best weapons generally aren't unique. You could always find yourself the Stone Armor, and just wear that poo poo while you spend the twinkling on your weapons. But yeah, i spent all of mine on Astoria's the first time through, and it was a huge rear end mistake. You need to make sure you pick the right weapon.

bat duck posted:Couple of questions Out of curiosity, are you talking about Ring of Fog? Because there's an alternative if you already visited all of Izalith and found Sunlight Maggot helmet, you could trade in the Skull Lantern needed to traverse the tomb of giants to Snugly the Crow for it. Also, the basics of parrying is, you need to hit the strong attack with your shield just as they are about to strike you, usually when you hear the WOOSH sound of a weapon. It varies for every enemy though, so i recommend at least testing it out on the weak skeletons to get some practice and go from there. You need to stop moving, face the back of your opponent, and hit regular attack to perform a backstab. Again, it varies for some creatures. Black/Silver knights are wierd, and you need to be nearer to the left side of their backs to pull it off.

I always thought Crystal Cave was pretty easy in comparison to Duke's Archives. I didn't mind the aesthetic because it reminded me of Guild Wars's caves and i played the poo poo out of that, so i forgave it. Do the Channeler's dancing jigs increase the power of sorrounding enemies? Because when I went there the first time, i had like 1385 health, and I lost half of that to one single counter-hit from the zombies near the entrance, and they had some aura on them. Also, I'd like to say that the music for this game is loving awesome. Gargoyles, and Ornstein and Smough's track are my favorites.

Roguelike posted:DOUBLE EDIT: I still don't know how to beat Bed of Chaos, I just die twice every time I fight it. The trick is, you have to take down the glowing orbs to the left and right of the Bed of Chaos. As soon as you strike down one, the ground gives way, so you have to be extra careful. As soon as you destroy them, a ramp leading up to the boss will appear, and you have to cross it and kill the heart. I was able to completely tank the hits with my good chunk of endurance and Greatshield of Artorias, so I have no idea if you are supposed to jump to dodge her hits if you don't rely on that sort of stuff.

You could also obtain Large Titanite shards/Green titanite shards from the slimes in the depths. You probably have the Covetous ring by now, it helps ALOT. A fire weapon is recommended though, so you can kill them in one-two hits. As for titanite shards, you can always kill the dudes around the forest covenant, you need 7200 souls, to buy 9 regular shards to upgrade any weapon to +5.
