You know that NPC that absolves you of your sins and is the only way to make NPCs who are aggressive towards you go back to being passive? Yeah, I might have accidentally attacked him.

A Nice Boy posted:Man I can't figure how people accidentally attack folks. After hearing all these horror stories, I basically keep my fingers a mile away from all the shoulder buttons when I go near any NPC. It's more because he looked way too similar to the two mini-bosses in the church from up above and I had an itchy trigger-finger because, gently caress, I have my souls and you're not getting them, game! I'm debating whether to start over (for more than just that reason), or to challenge him to fisticuffs on the field of honor. Miijhal fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Oct 10, 2011 |

On my new character, and just beat the Carpa Demon (Havel's ring is a beautiful thing). If anyone needs help clearing that area, I have a sign up at the moment and I'm more than willing to help whenever I'm on. Level 24, by the way.

Right, can I just say: gently caress this game's multiplayer system. Demon's Souls was unwieldy enough, with multiple servers requiring you exit and enter an area over an over again to meet up with someone. But it only took like 30 minutes, tops, to do. Now it's pretty much impossible. Didn't wind up on the same server? Well, gently caress you! Unless you plan on restarting your console over and over for hours on end hoping you get lucky, it's not going to happen! Oh, by the way, while you were doing that, you got invaded! Hope you brought extra humanity! Uhg. I love this game, but seriously, when you market a game's multiplayer feature extensively, actually make the goddamn thing work right.

Sumixam posted:What do i do against capra demon? There isn't enough room to even maneuver or guard yourself. Try picking up Havel's ring beforehand, along with a good set of armor. As long as you can survive three to four of his attacks, he can be taken out pretty quickly by plunge attacking him over and over from the stairs. You won't even need to summon phantoms to do it.

Elysiume posted:Getting invaded in the forest by a single person not wearing a fog ring is kind of fun and pretty exhilarating. I hit him with a few glancing fireballs, and I was whittling him down with a claymore. Then another person invades. How would that be fun at all? There's no good way to fight against two people at once; one of them will always be at your back. Except there are various spells to counter that, invaders can't use estus flasks, you can position yourself to prevent backstabs, and certain weapons, like the zweihander, have an arc that hits behind as well as in front of you.

So, I made an alt character to fiddle around with magic. Beat the Hellkite Dragon, got to the soul-farming area of Darkroot Garden, beat the Hydra, and the golden crystal golem. So now I have a male sorcerer named 'Fabularus' clad in the Antiquated set. Also, the antiquated skirt starts out better than the gold trimmed skirt, and if fully upgraded, is better than Havel's Leggings. I'm loving this.

waspinator posted:Still looking for more armor/sub-weapon suggestions for my belmont run -- i'm mainly using wanderer's armor with throwing knives and firebombs(holy water), and the whip of course! If you have the notched whip, use it. It'll make your damage slightly less pathetic, because it's both more effective against armored targets and it causes bleed. Not to say you'll be killing anything, but it'll be better than the divine whip. Maybe go with Homing soulmass/homing crystal soulmass or something for a HYDRO STORM analogue?

Pyromancy actually is significantly more balanced than, say, elemental weapons. While there's no stat investment for it, you do have to spend almost, if not more than 300,000 souls to get it to maximum effectiveness. On top of that, they also have significantly less range than sorcery spells. That said, it could still use some adjustments. It's still too easy to run around with a Thor's zweihander in one hand and the gameplay equivalent of the loving sun in the other.

The Gate posted:So, uh...is there some way to actually make the boss in the Painted World not invisible? Some walkthrough said to hit her with a pyro fireball, but that's not working, and neither is stabbing. I can't beat the boss because I can't see her, can't tell if I'm doing damage, where she is, if it's safe to heal, etc. And naturally I can't leave the area because being forced to play a level is so awesome. I've probably attempted her 20 times now, and died every one. I really don't want to skip her but the other option at this point it to restart after 30+ hours into the game. Her invisibility drops when she takes enough repeated damage. Her footprints in the snow will give her away until then.

Binge posted:Ok, I'm confused, I'm trying to make the Greatsword of Astorias, the cursed version. I upgraded a regular Longsword to +10, and the Giant Blacksmith is only giving the option to turn into the regular version. Is the wiki backwards? Should I have upgraded a broken hilt one? It doesn't actually say (cursed) Greatsword of Astorias. The fact that it only does physical damage is how you know.

Shalinor posted:Sen's Fortress... IS loving AWESOME! I'm guessing they did that because both are technically unnecessary. The one in the forest is barely into it and only really helps for farming souls, besides about a minute of walking. The one in Sen's Fortress is the same. Once you unlock the cage lift, all the bonfire there does is save you from having to run through the first four pendulum traps, which are pathetically easy, anyway.

Should I just kill him as soon as I see him in the undead parish or just go ahead and wait it out until I invade him? I don't need his armor set, and I rather like not going through the whole process of reviving anastacia. Do it. He's pretty tough, but if you have any sort of magic he'll go down with a bit of effort. Alternatively, wait until he's in Firelink and do something silly like plunge attack the gently caress. swamp waste posted:The internal mythology of this game seems really well thought out.

You don't want to be done with New Londo. It's pretty much the best designed area, in terms of both aesthetics and not being cheap as gently caress, that you're going to find. And after that, you get to do Tomb of the Giants and Lost Izalith, which make Anor Londo and Blight Town look like happy funtime jollycoaster rides! On that note, I think I'm going to wait until the patch to beat the game. Being able to actually invade people and co-op bosses in between doing Lost Izalith and Tomb of the Giants is the only way I'm going to be able to put up with that poo poo.
