Alright so I could use a little advice.
So far I've taken out four bosses. The Last Giant, The Pursuer, Dragonrider and Old Dragonslayer. Right now I'm in No Man's Wharf and I'm really getting my ass kicked here. The problem is that those things with the long arms FUCK me up because they cause bleeding damage and they cause damage whether or not I block with my shield or not. I'm kind of lost in this area and I rang some bell and jumped on a ghost ship and got gang raped by a bunch of Mongolian looking dudes.
Should I man up and get through this area or try another area, like the Lost Bastille or something? If I need to stick to the Wharf, is there another bonfire fairly close that I'm missing or is it very far away and hard to reach?

nah this is a different area. doors of pharros.
Dark Souls 1 was filled with a lot of chuckling. It wasn't just Lautrec.

Perhaps try your torch while fighting them and see what happens.
Nearly everyone in DS had an evil laugh, though...even Solaire sounded creepy.
Heh, took me over 5 hours to even see the first boss. Now I did it again with a knight (found my warrior too squishy) in less then two hours.
YAY!
so fucking YAY!
I got rat-summoned in pharros while I was trying to open the door with the lockstones. but it already blacked out before the third piece could open up completely and now it's stuck. and the lockstone is already in the hole. how awesome is that!? I think it's SUPER AWESOME!
so fucking YAY!
Ahh okay! Got to get it out of my head that I need to clear out an area as I go through it like I would in pretty much every other game.
Thanks for no spoiler tags

Shaded Woods, for all it's ugliness, has been a breathe of fresh air. Multiple paths! Lots of hidden treasure! Weird mysteries!
I know someone who quit the game because the first boss was too hard.
they fought the troll at the very start of the game and could not figure out what to do
Well, after deciding that no way im gonna try Sm Demon without a fire shield I headed to
because I remember reading theres a good fire shield past that area.
After crossing a
, im too creeped out to continue so Ill leave it here for today lol

After crossing a
N64 like forest I reached a place where I can hear laughs from god knows where

Those guys in the big crossbow room can't climb the ladder I don't think, so you can aggro them, run up the ladder and use a ranged attack to kill or weaked, plunging attack etc. Throwing knives are really good in this game, they actually do damage now, not just for splatting mosquitos!
Also shortcut spoiler:
The guy on the ledge where the Pursuer dropped down, you can use him to throw a firebomb at the black barrels in the corner and it will open a shortcut to the bonfire, just roll out of the way after he throws. Or throw your own firebomb.

I'm noticing a lot of people dropping tags from boss/area names. Not sure if everyone had a meeting I wasn't privy to when they agreed to it.
I guess I don't mind - for the sake of discussion we have to stop eventually - but it's probably still too soon to start name-dropping mid-late game bosses.
Whoops, fixed it now. I find the boss names so nondescriptive that I didn't think about it.
I wonder how many players killed him instantly, as they gazed upon his sword with a gleam in their eye.
I don't remember it happening nearly to this extent, and it starts right off the bat with the cackling hags. It's not at all a big deal but I did find it a bit goofy.
Yep, that was solid. I liked that zone. Might be my favorite one in the game so far, actually.
I also have to say I quite liked

I can think of at least one mod who isn't but that's neither here nor there.

I don't know how I feel about not having a shield equipped, but I will certainly give this a try. Thanks for the tip!

Just killed
Is it worth joining the Covenant straight after him? I am in the first one still at the moment.
Orenstein, sorry.. Old Dragon Slayer.. cool fight, was not expecting that!

Was the thread title change really necessary?
I can tell you I'm not responsible for the thread title if that's what you're thinking.
Bahaha, again.
In the mood for jolly co-op I dropped my sign in front of (early mid-game optional boss)
. There were two gold phantoms so it promised to be an easy ride. Host was having none of that. The host drops down and starts making for the real boss of the level. I had never ventured too far beyond the previously mentioned boss bonfire. The other phantom misses a jump and we leave it behind swimming in lava. The path to that final bonfire is hilarious. It was the first time I had taken it and I couldn't stop laughing at all the obstacles. Host summons another white phantom before we enter the fog gate.
Absolutely destroyed it. Between +9 club of 'Good Day Sir' and a crappy tower shield I took very little damage and hammered the crap out of it when given the opportunity. Sunlight Medal +1.
Is curse cured passively? I got cursed fighting an enemy in the same area, but it seems like my health is fine again.

After another, later, area opening in this way, I need to pay closer attention to the placement of those things.

I love Pokken!
lol at that title change.
Is the lag when bringing up the item menu (PS3) something that can be patched out? I love watching high level PVP players switch shit out on the fly like red tearstone when their health gets low. Wouldn't want to try it in this game though. Sometimes I hit start and it takes a few seconds for the menu to appear :/

lol, no, didn't want to make it sound like an accusation. OT titles are supposed to be jokes anyway.
Easily the most annoying thing about the game. You push start and your menu doesn't pop up, you push it again thinking your last button press didn't register which cancels the process of opening the menu, rinse and repeat. Some of the technical issues of the PS3 version have basically cemented my desire to double dip on PC.
There doesn't seem to be any special dialogue, unfortunately. Though I only tried talking to him with it when I was already basically done with the game. Not sure if there's some point in time where he can comment on it.
As sort of a cute note, though, there are actually several differences between the fake and the real deal that are hard to notice unless you compare them side-by-side. The fake one really does look kinda cheap.

Lol at title change but this game blows Dark souls out of the water! so much fun!

So it seems like i hit a glitch? Reloading my save did not make the enemies aggressive
What's crazy is that I actually had this happen to me on my very first playthru attempt in the area completely by accident. So I've always been surprised when I see streams or people that aren't aware of it.
I feel like there are experiences like that thru every dark souls playthru.

"The Ghostbusters II of Dark Souls" is probably the most accurate title.
If you're going to quote this and argue that you really loved Ghostbusters 2, stop and think for a minute and you'll realize how correct this is

Same here. Watching a couple LP's and apparently it's a real bitch to reproduce on purpose. Such is the way of things.

For me, enemies placed to trigger such things are always killed with arrows before they can fulfill their roles.
she's probably my favourite NPC along with the talking cat (love that voice), but yeah, that's not saying much, I greatly prefer the NPC's in dark souls so far, and I'm nearly done
and regarding lucatiel, without looking it up or getting insanely lucky I don't see how following her story would be possible
