Also, JUST BEAT FUCKING ORNSTEIN & SMOUGH.

a;sfhjdaposufhaousanwocunawecanwe9pfuh2q9fp3hawe9pfuhjaw9efha9p2w3fhap9whfa9wehfa9pfh7ap97hfp9h2fp9h ewfa9p78whefpa987h

WOOOOO FUCK YOU DARK SOULS.

Was actually pretty easy since I summoned 2 people to help me. Killed Ornstein first, and during the second phase, I was at full health and took one hit from Smough that took so much health that I couldn't see my health bar. My character fell down when he got hit and I facepalmed thinking I died. But then he got back up and I was like FUUUUUUCK RUN. Popped a humanity real quick and went back at it. Was intense. Heart was pounding and felt like it was going to explode out of my chest.

Just looked at that again. Definitely want one. He said there that he will probably sell them cheap as long as he can break even on them. Pretty awesome work. Said they cost like $16 to make, so that plus shipping. So, for like $25-30 I will definitely buy one.

I think I finished Solaire's path but I'm not sure. I hope I did because that's what I was trying to do.

http://darksouls.wikidot.com/solaire-of-astora

Quote:
Guaranteed way to Prevent Solaire becoming hollow:

Open the shortcut to Lost Izalith BEFORE fighting the Centipede Demon. This is done by offering 30 humanity to Quelaag's Sister and proceeding through the hole in the wall near the entrance to the Demon Firesage boss.

Slay all of the choas bugs here. You only need to kill the one with glowing red eyes that drops the Sunlight Maggot, but you might as well kill them all just to be sure and for the drops.

Note that Solaire will not be here yet. He's still waiting outside the Centipede Demon boss room.

Go back to the entrace to the shortcut and go through the fog door to fight the Demon Firesage

After beating the Demon Firesage, proceed past it and down the stairs to the Centipede Demon and beat that as well. If you're in human form you may summon Solaire to assist, though for me he just sat in lava and died.

Follow the wall to the left of the entrance to find the route out and the "normal" way into Lost Izalith. You'll find Solaire here.

Having spoken to him here he will then appear in the shortcut between the Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith where you killed the chaos bugs. He will not turn hollow.

Speaking to him here will lead to another depressing dialogue and then he'll disappear again. This should let you summon him for the game's final fight.

That's basically what happened but on accident. The guide I was using didn't really do too well of a job describing where the shortcut was. I wandered into it and killed all the bugs except I never got a Sunlight Maggot drop from any of them. Received 2 Sunlight Medals though.

And so that's where I'm out. Going to go through to Lost Isalith that way now and hopefully he'll be available for the final fight.

So for the whole 3 people that play this game...

Right before the crystal caves now. This is all 'new territory' for me since Anor Londo was as far as I had gone on my old character.

Think I'm level 81 or 82 now, rocking a +5 lightning uchi, a +5 black iron armor, +5 xanthous leggings, havel's helm, and silver knight gauntlets, +15 eagle shield. started pumping points into faith so now i've got a heal, homeward, and a couple other miracles I can't really use yet. Thinking of going back and joining the Princess Guard so I can use these group heals for when I help people.

Most souls at one time was like 261k now, which I got after helping out at the Four Kings for a while, and then cashing in on all the saved up warrior souls I had. Was pretty pumped about that. Never imagined I'd actually hold so many at once, but I've seen videos of people holding like 9 mil at one time, so fuck those people.

I am basically trying to level up in the Darkmoon Blade covenant to get the get the Darkmoon Blade Miracle to get the acquire all achievements miracle to get closer to 1000/1000 this.

I need 5 more Souvenirs of Reprisals and it is a bitch because I am nowhere near strong enough to defeat the characters of those I am invading.

The guide says try invading in the Tomb of the Giants. So that's what I'll do now.

Ok so here is my little checklist I've created to 1000/1000 the game. Hopefully, I'm not missing anything.

Quote:
Before starting NG+, go back and defeat Dark Sun Gyndolyn. Acquire his soul and create a unique weapon. You also need his miracle he drops.

Try to defeat Demon on first attempt at Asylum to get Demon's Hammer

The only tail I need to cut off in boss fights is the Bell Gargoyle to get the Gargoyle Tail Axe.

Talk to Quelana of Izalith in the Swamps and buy her pyromancies and upgrade your flame. Save Laurentis in the Depths. Talk to and buy pyromancies from Laurentis after beating Quelaag or sooner. Go back to Quelana after beating Quelaag and discovering Chaos Servant covenant. Expect to spend 100,000 souls.

Try to get the flip ring. Expect to spend god knows how many souls.

Rank up Warrior of Sunlight to +1 on 2nd playthrough and use Gwyn's Soul to get Great Lightning Spear and Sunlight Spear.

Talk to Rhea of Thorlund at the Parish IMMEDIATELY after saving her in Tomb of the Giants. Expect to spend 50,000 souls.

DO NOT PLACE THE LORVESSEL ON THE THING. Don't even talk to Kingseeker Frampt AT ALL. Join Darkwraith covenant after beating The Four Kings. Do not be a member of Princess Guard or Way of White before beating. You know what, just be safe and go to Carim and leave whatever covenant you're in and be covenantless.

These are the weapons I still have to create on my 2nd playthrough with the boss souls. Hopefully I can avoid having to play a 3rd playthrough by finding some cheating hacker who has a spare Soul of Sif and Gwyn's Soul.
- Chaos Blade
- Crystal Ring Shield
- Cursed Greatsword of Artorias
- Darkmoon Bow
- Golem Axe
- Great Lord Greatsword (3rd playthrough?)
- Greatshield of Artorias (3rd playthrough?)
- Smough's Hammer (MUST DEFEAT ORNSTEIN FIRST which might be a problem if I summon people. I'll just have to message them and let them know what the plan is before starting the boss battle)
- Tin Darkmoon Catalyst

Create a +10 Divine Weapon with a White Titanite Slab. Large ember and slab are found in the Tomb of the Giants.

Beat the game a 2nd time. Choose different ending from the 1st.

Sooo.... yeah.

I dunno what to do. Might try PVPing a little more today, asking people if they have any spare Sif or Gwyn Souls. The guide says I should also use Dark Hand against NPC's and kill them to get certain unique weapons/armor. Might do that. I dunno.

I think I'll start NG+ tonight or tomorrow.

Just beat Seath 2nd try. Got cursed/killed at the same time the 1st try and RoXer suggested using the cursebite ring which I didn't even realize I had. Totally worked him the 2nd time. Got my divine weapon ready for the catacombs. Just a shitty Divine +4 falchion. Only used it cause it was already upgraded to +5 due to having been an enchanted weap, so I degraded it back to normal so I could divine it.

Once you kill the 3 (could be more) Necromancers you use normal weapons to kill the skeletons

So when does that come out? Are there any achievements? Any news on where we need to be in the playthrough in order to play it?

Yeah, I can beat the bad guys one at a time but once I reached the area were there are multiple ones they destroy me..

My little bro said you have to utilize the block/parry funtion early and often which I usually don't do.. I will try again, one day..

lol what, there is a starting weapon in the starter area. (not broken weap, you start with that. there is one that you pick up in the tutorial dungeon)

Did you even pick up the shield? You are doing something entirely wrong.

The Deprived class starts with a broken sword I think?

Parry can be hard to time. If you're using parry a lot then you're also going to die a lot until you learn to time different enemies attacks. That means watching them a bit before trying to parry their attacks. I still find it very hard to time parrying the early enemies sword thrusts etc. The spear guys are easy to parry.

Got this on PC because it's only $40 and comes with the DLC. Also because I like playing games on PC.

as;ldfahsdfadsfh not getting any rare drops. Neither of the black knights I've killed gave me their weapons or shields. Boar didn't give me the helm. Channeler didn't give me the trident. All I wanted was a greatsword.

I would probably buy the DLC just for the new multiplayer stuff alone. If they fix up he match-making system and bring in new fighting modes, it'll give the game extra longevity. Making character builds that are good for PvP is a big part of the game.

It is pretty good. Haven't made it to the DLC yet. Lot of people complained about the quality of the port because From didn't make any changes that were PC specific. It's pretty much the exact game from console, which I expected since they said they weren't experienced with PC games, and since they only did this port because a player petition asked them to.

There were some internal resolution problems that were fixed by a player before the game even came out with a little script fix he made. Graphics look even better now actually, with a really nice draw distance and textures that look even more high-res if you do the resolution fix. Details are crazy. Was standing in Blighttown looking down at the swamp and could see everything. Enemies, shiny loot, all the way from the great hollow, to the beach that leads to Quelaag's. On console, everything just kinda blurred out down there. Pretty nice.

I'm in ash lake right now on this new character. Just had my first real loss, which didn't even involve that many souls, but lost me 7 saved up humanity that I'd been building since the start of the game. Stupid giant mushrooms in the bottom of the hollow.

Invaded some people, which is pretty awesome with as many new people as there are. Stalked a couple people before killing them. Had a pretty awesome 1vs2 where I waited till the summon was engaged with some enemies before chasing the host away, then bolting back to the summon and killing him really quickly before fighting the host. Host actually knew what he was doing though and killed me after a pretty long fight.

I've been playing this since Monday, overall I'm not finding it as "hard" as Demon's Souls but I guess I can put that down to knowing what I'm doing right off the bat. That didn't help at all with Capra Demon though, took me about 20 attempts before I could even get a hit in on him. That tiny room is brutal. Gaping Dragon seems to way outlevel me so I'm currently in the catacombs looking for some miracle maiden. Pretty great so far.

I've cleared the catacombs, wasn't too bad once I killed the mages. I took on Gaping Dragon with the two phantoms and I was pretty much doing chip damage to him with magic weapon / scimitar +7. He just kept squashing the other guys before I could even get him down to 3/4 health then kept whipping me with his tail breaking through my poise then squashing me too. Pinwheel on the other hand put on a totally pathetic display.

Have solo'd gaping dragon multiple times, sometimes on the first go. Key is to stay behind him until he starts turning to come at you. Then, get far away and when he charges, just run to either side and circle behind him. You can get a decent amount of hits on him from behind before he turns again. Also.... 'try the tail'

Got him, was about 8 levels higher than last time. The tail method made him much easier, I should probably start putting some levels into strength by the looks of all these rare drops. Made it to the second bonfire in Blight Town, it's so much like the Valley of Defilement that I was bricking it the whole way down. Was so glad I found that bonfire after aimlessly wading through the swamp on my last Estus Flask.

Str/Dex is really just based on what character you want to play. You're not required to use any of the drops to beat the game. You could, essentially, just use the items you started with and upgrade them the whole way through and only use them. Dex/Str is just a playstyle.

Now of course, if you ARE a strength build, then by all means, stack the shit out of that. I have 50 str on my first PC character so that I could use the dragon greatswords and the like.

I'm sure some crazy people somewhere have beat the whole game with a broken sword hilt. I'm only DEX 21, STR is about 14. Just want to try out some of these ridiculous giant weapons really. Got the Meat Cleaver and i remember it being pretty useful in Demon's Souls.

The problem with Strength builds is that you have to sacrifice mobility to be able to use those heavy weapons. You have to pour stats into Endurance to up your equip weight. I have a strength/endurance build and I still can't really use the massive weapons effectively. Dodging is much better than strong armour in Dark Souls, even taking into account poise, I think. They never really fixed that from Demon Souls. In Demon Souls I finished the game in the armour I started with usually. In Dark Souls I tend to mix and match the highest damage resistance I can get while still maintaining below 50% equip weight. Heavy weapons kill that.

That said, my Strength build is armed with a +7 Lightning Greatsword that murders everything in sight.

The moment you put lightning/fire on a weapon, it negates the scaling you get from whatever attribute the weapon uses.

So putting lightning on a sword is going to make it not based off strength anymore and kind of negates being a 'strength' build so much as just 'enough strength to use the weapon'.

If you're going strength, you should really just go +15 on weapons.

My problem on my strength build is that I wasted my dragon scales upgrading dragon tooth and it turned out to not work as well as I wanted it to. Should have upgraded the dragon greatsword instead. Also didn't get lucky enough to get the black knight drops on this character so I just used a giants halberd for a while, which actually isn't that bad, but loses effectiveness pretty quickly.

Edit: I also use the fatty roll right now with my str build and it's actually quite effective just straight up blocking/tanking hits. I could wear full havels, but fuck that noise, so I do a combo of golem armor and silver knight's because it looks badass. Just upping my equip load at the moment to be able to actually use some of the beastlier great shields.

There are also some RIDICULOUS Dex weapons. The speed stacked with the damage some of them can do can be outright devastating. They also have some of the cooler movesets IMO.
