It looks like you get the ring either way. But yes, if you let him do what he will, you can get the armor, which is pretty good, though I think there are better armors. The fight is fun.
Playing a new character, and I have two questions.
1. I killed the guy that gives you the Estus flasks at the starting area. Will this haunt me later in the game?
2. Playing as a Pyromancer and I have 8 fireballs to cast. How can I increase this? I have two attunement slots, but it doesn't seem like I can put the fireball spell in the second slot to allow me to cast 16 fireballs.

Posted this in the other thread, but it got buried pretty quick:
What and where is the first main demon you should be fighting?
I've already fought: Asylum Demon, Taurus Demon, and Moonlight Butterfly. I tried taking on the water dragon thing in Darkroot Basin, but it seems too strong for my melee/fire magic.
And one other question, who upgrades the pyromancer glove? I figured a regular blacksmith would do it, but apparently not.

1. Asylum Demon > Taurus > Gargoyles
2. No real reason to kill the Hydra this early if it is too difficult.
3. Someone you must rescue. I forget where he is, though.

Oh, okay. Thanks, totally forgot about that Church. Thought it was just an extra area or something for later.prodystopian said:

I summoned two other players and then stood as far away as I could shooting her with arrows.Sniper McBlaze said:

What are you being killed by? If it is the AOE, then you need to know when it is coming.Sniper McBlaze said:
Have you encountered the invader Mildred, if you are Human form, you can summon her to help you.

If you can predict her moves, you can run in and out and attack when she pauses. I melee'd her. It was a tough fight, but as long as you can predict the attacks, she isn't that hard, you just need to be patient and don't go in too hard when there is a lot of lava around. In fact, get her away from the lava when possible.
Also, I kept trying to roll, but when I beat her it was using a shield and rolling. I had the shield up the entire time and if I missed the timing on the roll I usually got hit much less thanks to the shield.

How does that work? I saw her, but only to fight...

If you are in Human form, you can find her sign before the fog to the boss. Yea it kinda weird, a random invading NPC who dies, then offers to be summoned to help you. But I guess that happens often in Demon's Souls lol

so you have to kill her first?

Ah yes, you have to kill her when she invades you.
In Undead Parish, I killed the big knight in there, but there was another one up top shooting some lightning like thing at me...can you get to him? I went down by the blacksmith and killed the headless guy down there, should I proceed through Darkroot Garden? I'm wondering what others did at this point.
Wallachia said:
Thanks sir. I got to a fog cloud in Darkroot, but had like 4000 souls and wanted to level up so I headed back. I guess save it for later?
In Undead Berg I was looking down there after I killed the Taurus demon and did some grinding, how the hell do you get down there though? Do you go there from Firelink Shrine?

Did you see those Giant Knights in Darkroot? You can fight a boss up the stairs in some ruins near there, as well as hack down a certain tree that reveals a path
You get to Capra's area from the bonfire in Undead Burg, you go down some stairs to a fire and some undead dogs and those assassins.

Hmmm no I didn't see them yet. I just killed a few tree folk and snatched up some large souls. I was curious about Darkroot because I didn't know if it would lead me away from Undead Berg even farther. And I tried getting into lower Undead Berg before but I only found a ladder taking me back up. I know I was doing something wrong I'll give it another shot and see what this Capra Demon is all about.

Anyone up for the Gargoyle Boss? I'm level 26, standing near the back-right entrance to the church. PS3 version, let me know!
Sen's Fortress question:
the contraption that shoots out the big boulder - you can change the direction it shoots the boulder making the other ways safe; but sometimes it reverts and the long, snaking staircase/boulder slide gets rocks again. is there an enemy hiding up there that is doing this or does it just revert by itself after X minutes or whatever? This has happened without me dying, touching a bonfire or leaving the fortress.

There shouldn't be. There is only one path that you can shoot the boulder that will not affect you at all.Brobzoid said:

So I'm farming slugs atm. Does being human and having humanity up in the top left corner increase their drop rate? I've done 5 runs so far and I've only had 2 drops.

How did you do it and at what class/level if you dont mind me asking?tc farks said:
24FrameDaVinci said:
Level 20 pyromancer. Rocking the Drake sword and Heater shield. That's really all there was to it honestly. I did some rolling while shooting a couple fireballs at him. Then busted out the heater shield and got close to the 1st one quickly. He breathed his fire and I got right in his grill for a couple heavy attacks. Put my shield up to block a few of his attacks, left him vulnerable for some more heavy attacks, like 3 or 4. At that point he was basically done I believe. The 2nd one was no problem because they weren't able to double team me as well like the 1st time. Used the heater shield to get in close to him and stayed patient, as he jumped away once or twice. Waited for his fire attack to walk up close to him and spammed hit him as close to him as possible. Only stopping to put my shield for his melee attacks. Only had to use a couple estus flasks for when I messed up and missed blocking a melee attack and got some fire in the ass once.

So I have an issue...is it impossible for me to get the Drake sword if the Red Dragon bugged on me? He died randomly and I got 10k souls but I didn't get whatever he dropped. I'm currently using a Longsword +5.

New Londo Question:
I've drained the water and gone through the seal and gone back to Frampt, but when I enter the white fog, it's just a spiral staircase that leads to death. I tried killing the ghost at the top and still nothing.

Awesome! Thanks for that! I see the wiki's are slowly getting filled out! So the question is, can I be hallow and have the benefits of having a lot of humanity? If so, I'm going to goelty said:

You need a special ring that you get from beating the Great Wolf Sif.

Apparently, Humanity that is lost and certain items that are dropped by other online players will manifest themselves into the enemies of your world. Kill them, and the stuff's yours. I've also gotten random black puffs near my head and gained 1 Humanity as a result, so it seems that lost Humanity also gets dispersed to other random players as well.

Alright I never beat Demon Soul but completed quite a few of the levels no problem. I've been stuck in Dark Souls early on and wondering if all hope is lost. I made it to the bonfire underneath the Dragon that breaths fire but this area and the enemies around seem to kick my ass. I'm a pyromancer but still having issues. I made it to the bon fire right near the black smith but stupidly forget to sit down and rest. Any tips and technics for fighting these knights. I played for about an hour and haven't made any progress level wise at all.

This game is so fucking cheap. I'm stuck in the swamp in Blighttown with all my best weapons broken. Now I need to go back somehow to the weaponsmith in Undead Burg, but it's fucking impossible with all the poison and all those flies... How I HATE those flies. Blighttown would be easy without them. Where to they fucking come from by the way? Atleast give me some souls when I kill them!
Anyway... Should I just restart a new character? This sucks.
