I keep getting my behind made into the Taurus demons bitch.

Climb the tower then jump down and sta his face, rinse and repeat. Don't stay up there too long or he jumps up to join you which is scary...

I use them to seek the pestilent bell-end headed face humper men and the fire breathing whippets.

It's grim up north.

Had the best night so far with this now. Got pissed off with those cat things in the Woods after a couple of attempts (not always managing to dash past the Hydra either) so I went back for the Capra demon, and killed the Bruce :metul:

Then I went down to the depths and made awesome progress for a while before someone wanted summoning in. First time anyone has joined my game like this and he was brilliant to have along (seemed like a Knight at a higher level than me). Not long after we were INVADED by AN UNLUCKY Bruce :DD

we slaughtered this guy and I took his shield (something fancy). Then my new buddy and I hacked our way to the Gaping Dragon were I also summoned the Sun Knight dude, so the three of us took out the scaly bitch.

:metul:

Brilliant.

:metul: indeed. Well done on Capra, still the hardest bastard for me so far.

I got through the game always wearing the heaviest armour my peperami frame could carry. It wasn't always the best idea but unless you've got kick ass health and stamina you need to be able to absorb some hefty boss blows.

How many hours have you three sunk into it do far?

I've gone 'round a second time and it took a fraction of the time to get to Anor Londo. I just want to be able to swing the biggest weapon (the Dragon Axe I think, well that's what I've got in the bank). I need level 50 on strength and I've managed to get up to level 41 so far! I've been levelling it up too so it can currently do about 530 damage.

Fuck me. The scenery and the scale of the place down here is amazing.

Sen's Fortress is hurty.

Ok. That was weird. I've been hanging around helping people with killing Quelag tonight and the guy who summoned me then summoned a weird Gold Guy with a masssssssssssive golden turban style hat (about half his size again). He dropped a sacks and I picked one up and got a Titatnite Slab and then he was off.

We both shrugged to each other,

What was that about?

I don't think you've missed any loot from that guy.

Have you used the lift nearby that goes back down to the Firelink shrine to create the shortcut?

There's a guy who pops up at the shrine after you've rang both bells. He'll buy all your junk for souls if you can wait that long.

Anyway shouldn't you be doing Sen's fortress?

Make sure you get what you can off that pyro chappie cause I'm surehe buggers off eventually without leaving a forwarding address.

Does that improve the spells any or just how hard you punch people in the face with your fiery fingers?

Also, New Londo Ruins is a pig.

Well, slogged my way for ages through Blight Town only to be confronted by a gate that opens from the other side... soooo I went all the way back down and over to the huge pile of Beano style sausage and mash and got my ass handed to me by a Tit spider chaos witch. From the damage taken and given in the fight I guess I need to be much stronger before trying again. Decided on a change of scenery so headed back to the Hydra and in a moment of bravery/stupidity I ran along the waters edge and found the ladder next to the waterfall and found a whole new section I also found a fat cat/rat thing that killed me, but that was only because I'd wasted my magic on the Hydra. Brilliant.

I spent another night being forcibly bummed by Mr Taurus. I'm getting really quite bored of the path between him and the bonfire. It's not even remotely dangerous anymore.

Looking at my earlier post I see I've got a touch of the Dave's. Killed the Bruce?!

Post subject:	Re: Dark Souls
More awesome: Invaded again but got the drop on the Phantom due to being much quicker and having plenty of Great Soul Arrows. I then decided to have a crack at the Chaos Spider Tit Witch and I summoned THE SAME GUY I'd just killed and we nailed her Second bell rang, and Chaos covenant joined meaning I got the Great Chaos Fireball Sorry can't stop, still playing

I just found a big spell casting guy (just before the gargoyles). I hit him a bit and he jumped off to the lower level. I followed him, forgetting that I'd lit and rested at a bonfire since clearing out the lower level and promptly got killed by the waiting mens down there. Next time round, Mr spellcaster isn't there - I didn't kill him and I can't find him anywhere in the area. I'm now worried he's going to unexpectedly bum me at some later point in the game. I also hope he wouldn't have dropped something cool had I actually managed to kill him. So Gargoyles. Ow. (To be fair, I was doing ok until the second one appeared and launched me off the building)

Post subject:	Re: Dark Souls
So, is there any point in me keeping all this shit I've accumulated? (i.e. is there a merchant to sell tens of broken swords, shields etc etc to later in the game, or can I just drop it to make using my inventory more speedy)

Post subject:	Re: Dark Souls
Aye. Getting below 25% equip load so you can roll around like a nut is a must.it's the only point so far that could be considered unfair.

Author:	Zardoz [ Thu Nov 10, 2011 18:00 ]
Post subject:	Re: Dark Souls
Unfair is a little harsh, you know from playing up until there that you need to be quick to avoid the big hitters. I can honestly say that this game has given me the more adrenalin rushes than any other, the sense of risk and reward is immense and so is the feeling of achievement once you get past certain areas / bosses that kept you at bay.

Then I thought I'd go back to those fat cat things in the Darkroot Garden and killed them instead, saw the weird mushroom men who just bumbled about then set off to the HUGE door and got destroyed by Great Grey Wolf Sif. Can't wait to play again.

Me, Solaire and that Orange geezer hacked up the gaping dragon yesterday, and I used the souls gained to raise my halberd and shield up to +5 and level up to be able to use the Black Knight Sword. I had a wander round the forest, then ventured into blighttown. That's a bit of a difficulty spike.

Turns out that turban costume can be found in the painting in Anor Londo. The turban guy attacks you as a phatom and if you get rid of him you can wear the big hat. FYI that costume is the same as one as the controllable bosses in Demons Souls. Bit of trivia there peeps.

Since then, I've managed to defeat the gargoyles (Well, summon one of the NPCs who battered them, really), work my way through Undead burgs lower level and cower in front of a mist wall. (And then run off to the side and find another route back to firelink shrine. Then returned to cower some more and quit.

There's a guy who pops up at the shrine after you've rang both bells. He'll buy all your junk for souls if you can wait that long. He doesn't give you much (usually 50 souls for one item but I've never seen him offer anymore than 1000 for even the rarest items) so collecting junk will pay off eventually even if it's a bit messy. I've reach strength of 46 but I can't sodding beat the two bosses in Anor Londo with the lightning halberd...might be because they both shoot lightning themselves and I haven't got anything decent levelled up. Hnnnngh. Twenty six times I got my ass whooped. Fuck that, I'll go and have a crack at the painted world instead. I was smashing through it up until here an' all. Gah.

Level 47! Bloody hell, a new level costs 55000 souls; this is painfully slow. But I did discover something cool: you see those stone knights on Darkroot Basin that slow you down. If you get that weapon, you can do the same! Awesomz!

Tonight I'm going to kill the Hydra before anything else, running past it is un-heroic of me (but so easy with my Rusty Ring ). Then I think I'll do some Ghost busting down in the ruins.
