Can anyone tell me how weapon infusion works?

I've got the Heide Knight Sword +6 and want to infuse it with lightning, how do I go about doing that? Do I need to get it to +10 first?

There is a Blacksmith in

Spoiler

that requires a particular item for Infusion. You must have the relevant Infusion material to change it to that type as well.

 

[Mistel]

Do I need to get it to +10 first?

You can still upgrade it to the max once infused.

Alright guys, so I beat the game last night and I'm planning on doing a NG+ run now. Is there anything I should do first before I start over?

 

[zkylon]

qi think i'm reaching spider cave (just got to iron keep)

any kind soul could hint me what i should be looking for as a warning? i don't really mind spoilers for this, if you tell me "at x place, y dies and then z door opens that leads into the cave" that'd be terrific

just reposting this in chance anyone could be so kind

The spider cave is in a completely different path.

wouldn't be that annoying to fight if he wasn't so hard to get to in the first place.

Fuck those long stairs.

Yea I'd have no problem doing the work to learn his patterns and beat him if it wasn't such a shit run to get there.

I don't understand the question

I just shot someone with a few arrows in No Man's Wharf who seems to be an NPC. I only realized it when he started to talk... I quickly left the area (without killing him), is there a way to make him friendly again?

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

I think the only way to make both work is that the game should calculate a "power level" based on your level and current equipment.

Nice idea.

Beat the game yesterday sword and board. Tried sorcerer today and just doesn't feel as satisfying sitting back throwing magic arrows

There is always a way to forgive your sins in Dark Souls.

Just keep exploring, you will eventually find a way.

FINALLY beat the Sentinels. Holy hell did that take a while. Took me, NPC, and coop bro to finally get it done. The hardest part was getting to the ground successfully. So many runs where someone would drop too early and just get crushed.

made it down to the water, those big guys really suck.

Time to start running around and finding places to put funny messages.

'illusinary wall' where there isn't one is always great.

Holy moly just had a heart attack.

Spoiler

Took out the one sentinel by the first platform and saw another on the other platform, so I tried to get as far to the edge as possible so I could maybe snipe him with my lightning spears, and suddenly BOOOOMCRASHBANG!! A third sentinel jumps up and throws me down to my death! Had to just quit and take a moment to collect myself after that. So unexpected and loud.

Yeah....2nd will jump up and shortly the 3rd will join.

Heide already has lightning though, doesn't it? Does infusing it add to what's already there?

Um...what stats do you need for that/

I fought a sorcerer once on a PvP match and it was just boring to see him spamming spells 20 meters away. Of course he got me (I wear no armor).

Yeah it was always the worst being invaded by one. They would just sit back and throw stuff at you and run away

 

[Garcia]

A minimum of 30 STR and 17 DEX.

I did see a heavy soul sword spell yesterday. More like a mix of melee and sorc, could be very fun.

It was in the reveal and TGS trailers.

Just go where it takes you, I've found the game pushes you in the right direction constantly.

Just keep exploring and things will progress naturally.

Can you play this in 120Hz/144Hz, in fullscreen?

The input lag in 60Hz is annoying. Borderless fullscreen is fine, but I want dat 3D!

(and Nvidia 3D Vision doesn't work in windowed mode for some reason)

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Heide already has lightning though, doesn't it? Does infusing it add to what's already there?/

Yes, but I believe infusing it allows for greater gains on lightning damage.

 

[Kyou]

So, uh, I think my game glitched after I beat a boss

I went in with the 3.8k ._.;

43 levels off one boss! It feels cheap to take advantage of it but when it comes to Dark Souls...

Is this because of arachnophobia?

It's in an area after the Shaded Woods, Brightstone Cove Tseldora.

Do the right thing. Suicide twice in a row.

We know you are going to spend it all lvling.

Except that his Soul Memory is probably fucked now for early game.

It does it also gains more scaling.

that requires a particular item for Infusion. You must have the relevant Infusion material to change it to that type as well.

Now I have to go back there! I missed this guy and I think I had it fully explored. Is he behind the locked door between the bonfires in that area down the steps? Wasn't sure how to open that as I didn't find a key for it. This game is so damn dense with stuff to find. :0

I started over going from console to PC and found tons of stuff that I missed the first time around. So good.

[Levyne]

Oh. I have the Heide +10. maybe I should infuse it..

I feel a bit bad still using it, since I got it so early. The bastard sword is okay too, but seems like a sideways move.

 

[Kyou]

You know I did kill an invader shortly before going into the boss

You don't get souls from invaders do you, though? Maybe the guy was hella cheating.

 

[Rhaknar]

Yea I'd have no problem doing the work to learn his patterns and beat him if it wasn't such a shit run to get there.

thats one of the reasons why Im using a lot more summons this time (well that and its much easier compared to the shitfest that was GFWL in the first), I jut cba with running back, killing mobs, etc. If a bonfire is close to the boss (as I think they all should be) ill retry the boss a bunch of times, like the

and the weird part is, some bosses DO have bonfires like right outside the room!

 

[zkylon]

I don't understand the question

sorry, meant what specifically i should be on the look out for to know that spider cave is up next. like a sign or an area or whatever

Is this because of arachnophobia?

It's in an area after the Shaded Woods, Brightstone Cove Tseldora.

yeah, unfortunately i do in a pretty crippling way. queelag and metal spider from demons were ok but i always feared a souls game would take it too far with spiders and seems like they finally did. i'll probably just ask my brother to stay with me for moral support and i'll give the controller to him if i feel i can't handle it :/

nothing can touch my upgraded Greatsword, I feel the same way. I just got mine to +10, how does it work from here? should I infuse it with something? make it raw (can you still do that in 2?) or something else? im pure STR build

Do you remember a large undead enemy kicking a barrel down the stairs and blowing up? There is a destructible wall there or use the Bastille key. It is in the very early part of the level with a bunch of dogs.

ah ok, thank you

i generally don't have issues with that so i'll probably make it on my own until i get the spider cave message and then do deep breaths and all that crap lol
