Is there some kind of tool/way to 'teleport' between bonfires?

From what I hear, yes, but not until very, very late in the game.

I think there are some parts of Darkroot to avoid, but most parts are doable...moon butterfly is the only boss so far besides Taurus that I did by myself without dying a lot....but haven't tried SIF nor the hydra. This level is VERY important to do at least partially before the depths and blighttown owing tothe plethora of easy moss drops form the tree creatures.
Darkroot is a grinding souls playground....most of the guardians of the immediate area near the bonfire and gate respawn. SL 20 is a little low to be taking on the ghost forms of the thief and knight in the area (although I pushed the knight off the cliff and he did not repsawn allowing me to grind the Cleric and sorcerer easily one ata time. each gives 2000 souls a pop.) If you are having trouble interrupting the cleric's heal spell just do the sorecerer.....if you beat Havel he will be easy. So here is a way todo it for lower levels and/or noobs:
ONe at a time is the key.
1.) GO to the left of the stairs a couple steps once down the stairs.
2.) FIre an arrow at the sorcerer (he is to the left in the forest jsut to the right of a tree at 10 or 11 o'clock if 12 noon is straight down the stairs.) DOn't go in to the trees after him or you will aggro the thief and Kight who are ghosts and you cannot lock onto them....dead in one or two hits at SL 20 (same as Havel but here you can't lock on).
3.) he will aggro and come after you; shooting souls arrows
4.) draw him up to the area near the doorway..lots of hiding places form thesoul arrow.
5.) get him to come at you, then get him between you and the cliff....depending on your weapon and stamina you can combo him three or four times in a row right off the cliff.
6.) ONce he is gone you can try getting the Kight out of the way...I died a lot but it made doing the sorcerer firtst over and over more fun. Once I pushed him off the cliff he didn't respawn, then I could go along the side near the cliff and remain undetected. Got to see the cat lady and attempted to get the chest where the mushroom people are, but as slow as they are, the mushroom things pack a good one hit punch so watch out! I purposely said no to the covenant so that I could grind longer...if you join the covenenant and attack the members they will permanently be aggro the rest of the playthrough.

Beating this guy can be either easy or hard, depending on how lucky you are.
If you manage not to get trapped against a wall, you can probably get up the stairs, which is your key to healing and buys you time to kill the dogs.
Once the two dogs are dead, you can actually just stand outside this guy's range and let him swing a few times. Then hit him when he misses.
If you have a powerful enough sword you'll have him dead in like 5 seconds.

No. Just stick around and be patient. Everyone's experienced becoming nearly religious when waiting for these things. I could SWEAR that playing while lying upside-down would help people summoning me.
Remember that you can only summon people that are within your level range, which is +/- 10% in this game (which is REALLY, REALLY stupid when you compare it to the 10lvls +/- 10% that was in Demon's Souls. That would mean that a level 20 could summon a level 10 and 32, which makes for a lot more players than just 18-22). If you're abnormally high or low level, you'll be in for a tough time finding someone in your range.

Don't drop it. Hold on to it until you get the Bottomless Box. Then store it. Later in the game (after ringing the second bell), you'll be able to sell it.

He is a mean, big thing. But he's easy to deal with. When he throws his face to the ground, run up and whack him on the nose, once. When you're close to him and in front of him when he's down like that, he will start crawling forward. And that move does A LOT of damage, so stay away from anything that moves on him (legs, tail). But once he's done he has this incredibly long vulnerable moment. Hit him. Otherwise, stay away from his shenanigans and take of his tail. Also, stay away from the side that can pick you up.

hmmm... i can't seem to do him much damage (drake sword) even when he's 'down' and i try to hit his face. It's like only half a centimeter(lifebar) per hit. lol i guess it's normal but it's definitely harder then the gargoyles i think. Thanks for the adviceSeptimius said:

lol for me it is the complete opposite. I killed capra demon at second try. Just killed the dogs then wen up the stairs, hit him, fell off the stairs then went back up hit him etc. very easy. Maybe there's something i'm really missing at gaping demon...

I just noticed this lovely topic! Ill post my question here since the Official Thread wasnt responsive.
Should I use the souls and twinkling titanite to upgrade my black knight sword? I have been using the bandits starting axe, upgraded to +5, for the entire game (I am now in Blight Town), but am just now able to wield the black knight sword.
Better idea to keep working on my axe or just wait for something else? I kind of like the knight sword, but its a bit slow. But even un-upgraded it is doing much better damage than my +5 axe.

Where can I find Large Titanite Shard? Just had an epic 20-minute fight with
, even at SL58 he was great, in the end I managed to read all his moves, so I did the last 1/3 of his HP with no Estus.
Also, for all that is holy and mighty, someone point me towards a good weapon. I'm using Black Knight Sword (Halberd +5 is crap), and the thing is slow like hell.

So my new guy is SL 42 Stats are:
Vit 10
Att 12
End 40
Str 16
Dex 13
Res 12
Int 10
Faith 12
Out of all of the castings I think Pyro would be the best suited for this character I think... how exactly does pyro get more damage? I don't see it requiring int or anything so how does one boost its damage? I would have liked faith but pumping points into dex vit and faith seems a little much at this point. I would like to pump dex for the extra damage from the weapons I'm using and vit for health. What do you guys recommend?

I just ran around his back. He head buts the ground, I run around him, he shuffles a bit I hit his tail area, he raises his head, I back off, rinse and repeat.Americanmushroom said:hmmm... i can't seem to do him much damage (drake sword) even when he's 'down' and i try to hit his face.

What helped me tremendously against tough enemies and bosses was getting a decent shield. Just get yourself a Hollow Soldier Shield and upgrade it to +5. It's not much of an investment and I been using that exact same shield up until now (end of Blighttown, SL 38). It's just way easier to block attacks from Black Knights or the Capra Demon than having to constantly dodge because your shield is too weak.
So I just killed the
and now I went to the top of the tower to find a
moth boss
stone blacksmith. How do I wake him from his slumber? Also, who can create divine weapons? I have the divine ember now and I am playing a faith build. Also, where can I get more faith spells? I've had the same three for the last 20 hours.
