Jump attacks are 'run + hit' I think.

Differs with what weapon you have equiped too.

•The Estoc, like most piercing swords has the unique feature of allowing users to strike while still behind their shield, which gives enemies no chance to strike while your guard is down. While this attack doesn't deal large amounts of damage, it can, over time, whittle away the health of an enemy. In the hands of a patient player, the Estoc can be one of the most deadly weapons in the game. Enemies that take continuous damage from an Estoc, especially one wielded by a fast, mobile opponent, may open up more and rush their attacks, leaving them wide open.

Just like I jumped into your mum. I call it The Great Hollow.

Quite clearly he gets the story.

Spider Bitch dead (a few times actually as I left my summon sign and helped a couple more people out).

Found the Pyro woman at the bottom of Blighttown (she wasn't there on my first playthrough, there was a guy selling weapons though, who isn't there now for some reason).

Second bell rung now so I'm off to see the Snakies and get my ass to Anor Londo... AND THEN TO THE DLC! :metul:

He was forest covenant, and she requires a significantly upgraded pyromancy glove to appear

His almost invisible bodyguard drops the Dark wood Grain Ring when killed

who isn't there now for some reason

The weapon seller guy is worth doing the forest covenant to trigger

Also he sells the washing pole.

Has anyone else seen these, the Dark Soul Diaries?

http://tap-repeatedly.com/category/feat ... s-diaries/

Writer summarises his journey through Dark Souls and his 1,259 deaths...tis rather good and very, very long.

Harsh. It was indispensible when I was playing.

I'd love to start afresh now just so I can play it with the knowledge of the story and lore I've just gained from that blog so I can follow it up for myself like a Dark Souls detective.

If only your disk hadn't shattered into a thousand crystal pieces when you completed it...

WAIT!

I don't think I ever had that either, Dave.

I just was awesome, like I am being again but moreso.

I've seen both endings now but didn't really understand what was going on.

Did anyone give the big pot to Kaath instead of the snake dog near the shrine? I don't think I've ever met Kaath.

Whereabouts is Kaath then, ghost town?

You meet him if you kill the 4 kings without placing tye lordvessel

What's "jump" and what buttons do i need to do jumping attacks with? I know that RB whilst falling is a "stick a sword through their brainspace". I've forgotten already.

So far, i've gotten a battle ax (95 damage) a reinforced club (97 damage), an Estoc (75 damage, a spear (80 damage) a shortsword (78 damage) and a broadsword (82 damage). The spear is good to hide behind the shield and jaba t things (like Curio said) and the club, broadsword and battle axe are good in open spaces, whereas in corridors they hit the walls a lot. I've not tried the shortsword, yet, though. I kinda want aargh to be abit like a Roman legionary, and have him jab with the spear whilst hiding behind the shield and then switch to a shorter sword to finish things off. I might try that out tonight.

Whilst I'm not fast and mobile, it could be a good idea. Maybe.

Had a crack at the Hydra, died (need better shield / armour). Went back and ran for the ladder. Got the the place where the Cat Covenant Guardians appear to try kill you. Slaughtered three on the bounce on my way to sign up with Superpussy and get her ring. Got summoned back and was completely smashed by a guy who had Havels sheild and crazy armour who had also summoned a Sun Knight guy to help him. These two were unbeatable in my current state so I legged it back down to Blighttown to have a go at the Spider Witch again (killing the Zombie dragon on the way). THEN I got kicked out as I lost LIVE connection, so I just went to the bonfire at the bottom to save, ready for the next time.

I've started using my Claymore more (LOLZ) needs some TLC with a smith though to get it more smashy. I like that it has stabby and swing moves.
