No, and you can't. The butterfly will "land" within melee distance after some number of attacks. You can semi-cheese the fight (barely) by walking through the fog and taking a few steps to the left and standing behind a chunk of the wall with flowers on it. It'll block a good number of the lances fired at you. Dodge the homing shots and sonic blast thing. Every now and then the thing'll go to the other side of the bridge and the fog door should block everything. For whatever reason the butterfly would stay a ways down the bridge from where I was standing and just fire away.kai3345 said:
It took three rounds of attacks using the drake sword to kill the butterfly. When you see it start to glow when landed get ready to move away because it does a short-range AOE attack before lift-off.

So is it worth keeping some of the larger weapons -
- when playing as a Wanderer?
Black Knight Greatsword, Dragon Tooth, etc

Posted this in the OT, but I guess this thread is probably more appropriate.
Okay, so I have a questions for folks here. I need some Titanite Slabs, as many as I can get. I've already gotten the one from the Stray Demon in the Undead Asylum, so that one is accounted for. I guess the only real place I have left to try is the super-rare drops that you supposedly get from Darkwraiths in the New Londo Ruins.
I have the Golden Covetous Serpent Ring, but is there anything else I should be wearing/getting in order to increase my already slim chances of getting the drop?

Go human. Summon help near the entrance to the boss fight. Use pyromancy or bombs.

First of all, make sure you've unlocked the shortcut back to the sewer bonfire. Then for the fight make sure you've got your lightest armor equipped, speed is important. You'll want to always be attacking from the back, so use your best weapon and take his tail out. It took about 5-6 hits with the Drake sword for me. Then just figure out it routine. It's at it most dangerous when it's head is tilted back, so don't come near it- front or back. It's big opening is when it finally slams down it's head, when it does run to the back of it, but don't attack, stay a few feet back, because even with no tail it will do a tail swipe that does serious damage. When starts running forward is your cue to run after and attack. Get as many hits in as you can, when it starts lifting its head up, then back up. It will turn and face you and at this point will do one of several things. 1- slam it's head back down almost immediatley, if it does this then you want to run to the back and repeat the attack process. 2- run after you. If it does this just run in circles until it stops chasing and slams its head down. 3- flys up and tries to land on you. As soon as you see it lifting off run in the opposite direction, watch its shadow, time your jump and you'll escape. Afterwards it will go back into one of it 3 patterns. Some times you need to just run around until it gets back into a predictable patern, but once you do it's a very easy fight for any type of character.

Yeah, so any tips for chopping off Priscilla's tail next time? I want to be prepared...
Also, people are right about those fuckin' archers; they suck balls. Make sure you have a bow with some poison tipped arrows before you go there -- two shots in quick, then duck and cover til they eat it. Also, if you die once they're down from idiocy
raises hand they come back. So carefully get to the bonfire immediately after that (door on the left).

My biggest pain at the moment, besides regret at not getting Priscilla's tail, is darkmoon covenant related:
What I really need is a mimic head and 30 humanity so I can go farm the stupid souvineers off those crow hookers...

Using the invading stone is a no no, I found out I die and lose all my shit. No bueno... so I've been letting her summon me with the ring -- the people are insane. Armor and weapons I've never seen. Seem entirely overpowered like they're just standing around waiting for the game to throw another challenger at them, so they can kill them and get rewarded...
Anyone got any advice?

How exactly can you summon your friend for coop? I read in the main thread something about placing down the soapstone every 20-30 seconds and that each time it changes servers. My friend in Canada (I'm in the U.S) kept doing this for about 40 minutes today and I never saw his sign pop-up? Is there a surefire way (doesn't matter how long it takes) to be on the same server or change servers to do coop?

So I pretty much beat the game... just killed Gwyndolin and delaying the assassination of Gwyn. You want to know the thing I hate most about this game? The online is fucking killing me... I just can't summon or invade... the whole game I've been trying and it won't fucking work. I NEVER had this problem in Demon's Souls. Aggh!
And WTF is with the red invade stones? Why can't I just have 1 and use that all the time instead of having to deal with quantity bullshit. I got like 10 stones, tried to invade at various points in the game and they're all gone now... where can I even get more?

Join the darkwraiths if that's the kind of PvP you want -- then you can buy the cracked stones, as I understand it.
Any way you slice it, other than the red soapstone which lets others summon YOU for PvP, you'll need a covenant. Darkwraith, Forest, Darkmoon, Dragon, Gravelord are probably your best bets. Darkmoon and Dragon give you an orb so you can invade at will. Darkwraith will let you buy cracked red orbs. Forest will let you be summoned. Gravelord will let you make others lives miserable (and potentially bring 3v1 on you).

Can someone tell me about the guy in demons remains blocking the bonfire? I said no to him and I'm thinking about killing him...
What does he give you?

You don't have a decent shield? Pretty easy to fully block most of his head attacks. Just make sure you don't walk into the pit.Grisby said:

If you make it to the other end and he gives up, he'll beach himself and die. :lol

Sounds just like Valley of Defilement to me.
Go back to the undead asylum and get the rusted iron ring so you can move normally in water. Your life will be much easier -- in fact, using that, I ignore the poison and just let it run while I keep an eye on my health. As long as I can evade and kill, that's all that matters to me.
Plus it will help you deal with other bullshit, like the hydra talked about in this post, if you want to fight it legit.
Ok, so post Anor Lando boss question: I've beaten
and
where to next?
I've done a bit of messing around in the
and opened the
but haven't really fully explored them or Valley of Drakes.
I have a ring to let me explore
is that where I'm headed next?
Seath
Nito
I've done a bit of messing around in the
Great Hollow
Flood door in New Anor Lando
I have a ring to let me explore
the abyss. I think the entrance to that is through the great hollow,
Undead Asylum? Like the tutorial area?corrosivefrost said:Sounds just like Valley of Defilement to me.

And yea, sounds like Valley of Defilement... but that's not the best part of Demon's Souls to emulate :[
My problem is, at the moment it seems like all there is for me to do is blight town and darkroot garden/basin. Both have their issues. Blight town just sucks ass. And darkroot... the golems are too tough. (or something)
WEGGLES said:
Blighttown is actually one of the easiest areas if approached the right way.
Make sure you have a few purple moss to cure poison. They can be farmed from tree guys in Darkroot.
Get the ring from Undead Asylum that lets you move normally in water.
Enter Blighttown from Valley of the Drakes. If you have the Master Key, you can get there easily from the elevator at the beginning of New Londo. If you don't, you can get in by going from Darkroot Basin -> Valley of the Drakes. If you can't kill the dragons, just sprint past them.
From the entrance of Blighttown, kill 3 ogres and go down the ladders and waterwheel. Hug the wall to the left and light the bonfire.
Go back to the waterwheel. Equip the rusty ring and sprint all the way across the map to the right and forward to the big white area of land. There will be 3 ogres chucking rocks. Just sprint around them and into the cave. Keep running down the cave, the ogres won't be able to follow you and the egg guys will not attack you if you don't attack them first. Cure your poison and heal. You are at the boss door.
tokkun said:
Hmm. I'll make my way from the sewers to firelink and then get the ring and tackle the darkroot area I guess.
I hear farming past that 20k door is good. I'm roughly SL 25, am I high enough level to farm that? (I only say this, because I have 14k in consumable souls and getting the other 6k won't be too hard)
WEGGLES said:
Yes, because most people farm that area by exploiting a glitch in the AI pathing that causes the enemies to fall off a cliff.
If you want to do it in a more legit way, it is a little tricky, because there is a transparent knight that you fight right away that is kind of tough. If you beat him he does not respawn, and it is pretty easy to farm after that.
What sort of stuff? I got a couple sets of armor I think (wanderers stuff and shadow set) and a bunch of proud knight souls.Zeliard said:"The right way" turning out to be skipping the entire level, lol.
Can't blame someone for wanting to skip it though. I like the design but the framerate is unfortunate. There's some worthy loot to be found though that you won't get by skipping to the end of it.
Skipping all of blight town doesn't seem so bad right about now.
That frame rate. :[

After the BS I encountered in Blight Town a little exploiting doesn't sound so bad

ok I have some tips and a question
for priscilla's tail: I brought an unleveled pyromancy flame and shot fire orbs at her to reveal her, then all I did was focus on poking the tail with the spear because you can hit very precisely (this was in new game++
) remember, you don't have to win the fight.. you just need to get that damn dagger. Then you can gear up again to kill her after that.for the dark moon- using the ring.. i believe there is no level cap so thos epeople could be much higher level than you, I farmed the crows without this mimic head and it took me around 5-6 hours of farming.
Now the question: How do you get the mimic head??
I want new items!!!UrbanRats said:
There's a little gap you can go through that's behind where the butcher was at the beginning of the Depths. Do a bit of exploring and watch out for holes and you should find him. Be warned that he has a shit ton of Giant Rats protecting him and some are hidden in boxes and will jump out at you right before he's in melee range.

There's a way up there but damned if I remember how. It's part of the Depths, though. I think you have to roll over the small gap that water pours into from both sides in one of the narrow tunnels?UrbanRats said:
Shoot off the tail of the dragon on the bridge in Burg from underneath the bridge (near the shortcut to starting burg). In theory it's a "cheese" weapon but where you're at I'd argue the usefulness is starting to wane. It's still a good weapon, though, and should get you through the Depths, which will be next.
