I did the first day I played. I was thinking it might be the framerate that jumps up and down.
Tried it once but he just steamrolls over me when I'm behind a balista.
Dang i do so little damage as well. Like 93 per hit/two hits.
Got my copies today and installed/updated the PS3 version (I'll try out the 360 version later), the servers are still not up here in Euroland it seems. Also disappointing that the game doesn't upscale at 1080p, when I tried to force 1080p the game went down to 576p..oh well.
Also the PAL Black Armor Edition comes with a B&W manual, I guess it's better than nothing plus the soundtrack has 35 tracks for anyone wondering.
BTW If anyone wants the bonus DLC weapons from the Black Armor Edition (Black Armour Weapon set) just quote this.

Let him rush to you when you stand at the fog gate, dodge with a roll, run to the crossbow, press x x x x and hope you get him and he doesnt do his range attack. Easiest fight in the game.
Finally found Heide's Tower. I remember going down there at one point but I didn't see the lever for the sewer gate. I was wandering around for hours.
So...is there any point to that dead-end with the turtles in the Forest of the Fallen Giants? I remember the was a
statue/thing there, but I assumed I didn't have whatever item was necessary. I just cleared out the area, collected what items I could, and left.
Also, the bonfire there? Worst place to teleport, ever.

You need to find a dull ember first and hand it to one of the blacksmiths
haha i can't even get the "PRESS A" to pop up. Seriously, how many tries did it take you? Do I run to the farthest or the closest ballista?

Can someone remind me if I need boss souls in my inventory(not the box) to craft boss weapons?

I can't say for the souls yet, but I had to have my titanite shards on me when visiting a blacksmith, so probably...
Also, I did like 40 percent damage with ballista - not nearly a one shot. Is it a patch thing or did he had his shield up? I didn't see. I was frantic.
Ok, so last night I beat the first major boss

I got the

I got the
item that lets you remove petrification and I used it on the guy who lets you use souls to get new weapons. The item is now gone from my inventory.

down the giant well in majula? I was going to go remove the petrification from that lady near the door switch, but now the item seems to be gone, so I guess I can't go that way.
Were you fighting alone? If you had a phantom it should've done less because of the increased health but solo it takes out 990 out of 1000 of his health.
I guess he had his shield up, because I made it work the last time. Indeed.
I killed him.
I did I did.

Makes sense.
One more question, if you use one of the bonfire ascetics to respawn enemies and the boss can you still summon people to help you?
To piggyback off of this, do the ascetics reset the "Extinction timer" on the enemies? Like, can I go kill them all again ~10 times?

There should be more than just the well for you to do after that boss but that depends on what you've cleared so far. Since you said that's the first major boss you killed, there's at least one other path that should be open to you.

Any good int scaling weapons that can be found?

Wow. That boss nod to Dark Souls killed me like 8 times.
6 gargoyles on a roof is not an easy task. Plus it caught me by surprises since I thought there was gonna be only 2

Welp, despite thinking I'd be able to wait until the PC release I totally crumbled and went and bought a PS3 copy the moment EB Games opened. Thankfully I don't regret it one bit! The game is awesome.
One thing though, has the online server for the PS3 version been down all day or something? I was able to download the calibrations but it fails every time I try to go online. I'm still having lots of fun offline but I would love some PVP and summoning.

OK seriously, is the pursuer a viable option after the first boss? I am level 32, using the Haile Sword, and am dead in two hits because of the 50% health.
I do not have internet.
I beat him at level 17 with him killing me in 2 hits, but only after like a billion tries. What pushed me over the top was to roll to your right/his left where his shield is, and just hit him in the shield. That huge shield really doesn't block unless he's actually holding it up to block, which isn't that often, so you can basically ignore it and hit right through it. Dodging to the left is hard because he has so much more attack range near his sword hand.
After I learned that it was just a matter of keeping enough distance to bait out his easy to dodge charge attack, chip away a bit of damage, and then running away to bait out another charge attack.
Everything else is just underleveled dark souls basics. Don't get greedy on the attack, keep it to one or two hits at a time at most, roll instead of block, and only heal directly after a successful dodge when you know for sure you have enough time, accepting the fact you're giving up 2 easy hits for a refill on health.
There was scheduled maintenance, but I thought it was over by now. I've been engaging in PvP shenanigans all morning.

Nothing a little gold pine resin couldn't fix. I got them on my second try
that would've been useful. I used them thinking they might have an effect on the
3 tall gold sentinels
What do you do with the bastille key?
By first major boss I mean
The first to give me one of those giant souls.
For reference, i have killed:
The last giant, dragonrider, ornsteinn, pursuer, the boat boss in the wharf, the 3 tall skinny knight guys, the 5 gargoyles, and then now the sinner guy. I think that might be it.
and was blown up immediately and traumatized from wanting to go back down there.
As long as there is somewhere else to go, that's good. I'll try to find it tonight.
but I was incredibly wrong.3 tall gold sentinels

There's just some doors in the Bastille you can now open. I don't remember what's behind them, though.
There is another large path for you then if you've cleared those bosses, as you're at about the same progress I'm at. I'll spoiler it in case you get frustrated.
Once you get the miracle vendor to move to town (she's on top of Dragonrider area) she'll offer to open a door on the path to Heide's, that strange contraption if you remember.. Go to the tower where you fought the Dragonrider and continue on the path there.
@ Corpekata
Cool, thanks. I wont quote you because that'll reveal the spoiler to me, but i'm happy to know there is somewhere else for me to find. I actually *LIKE* getting stuck in games sometimes, but I was dreading going down the well again (as i barely made it down the first time). Good to know there is something else to do. I'll look for it tonight.

In one of the cells near the boss door you'll see a sign for someone called Pilgrim Bellatrice. You need to be human.
Though to be clear, the "ally" you got is not the one you'll use for that fight (the one you summon doesn't appear to have any story signifigance), but she does appear throughout the game and can be summoned for other fights. You always need to be human to see them though.

Not dismissing anyones skill, but am I the only one who likes doing a solo run my first play through? I especially refuse to seek help on bosses because I think it detracts from the experience.

Searched the thread, but couldn't find anyone with this quite big problem:
The Emerald Herald never spawned for me.
I have no idea what happened. I got to Majula, messed around there, sat at the fire, talked to the blacksmith and Crestfallen, figured I would find the person to level with later, and putzed off to the Forrest.
After a few hours of that, I figured there had to be a way to level up. So I searched online, found I could only level at the lady next to the fire in Majula. And as said, in my game, there is no lady.
I didn't kill her or anything, she was just never there. Am I doing something wrong?

Supposed to turn you automaticaly human after. Tho sometimes it seems random, so just continue getting summoned and it'll happen soon enough.
I DUNNO!. My main character does not revert to human after helping people. It's only happened ONCE to me, and I actually *LEFT EARLY* because the person I was trying to help never bothered to enter the boss door. He just sat there. So i used the separation crystal, left, and when i was back in my world i was human. I probably have like 12 of those tokens for helping people, and 0/12 times was i returned to human. Only the one time when I left was i returned to human.
I got one last week, I think Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare (MP-only game) had it...
I think I read of someone having that problem. Try talking to the Firekeepers again or something? I'm not sure it that will work.

Did you check next to the tree by the edge of the cliff? Sometimes she wonders round Majula but its usually close to the bonfire.
