It appears I can equip weapons, eventhough my stats don't meet the requirements. So, my question is, should I be using a sword that has level 12 faith requirement, eventhough I'm at level 9? Will the physical properties of the weapon still work properly?
Another question is, that is it true you should stay under 70% of your equip load (in my case, under 39,9 of 57)?

I want whatever shield you've got.
I feel your pain. This game is impossible to enjoy with a friend. It's too unpredictable.

You can equip them, but you move slow and they do a lot less damage I believe. You should definitely stay under 70% or you'll roll much slower.

He was quite a bitch to put down. His Achilles Heel seemed to be the whole "coming down the stairs" thing. But alternate L1/R1 strikes with the merc weapon did the trick. Took a few tries, much heartache.
He doesn't go to that area, he goes to the church (outside it...sort of!)nice, got a massive bug:
Siegward's questline just got stopped cause Siegward's refusing to show upat the Cathedral, and I even had Patches show up, but no Siegward and I'm unable to buy the Catarina armor.
this sucks so bad

From the Wiki it doesnt look like slabs are farmable.
Everything else is but I couldnt tell you exactly since Im not that far
Apparently you can upgrade the Shrine Maiden shop to include Titanite and Large Titanite for purchase which will be a relief once I find the Ash
Yeah have to say I was disappointed by the damage output of the uchi. Dropped it a bit past midgame and switched over to a sharpstoned Claymore.
So I joined the
Covenant which seems pretty interesting. When I'm summoned, I usually tend to help them out more as opposed to attacking the host. The only problem is that I really don't know if there are any 'real' consequences to joining certain Covenants. I'm not too familiar with the lore of Dark Souls, even though I played a little of 1 and beat 2.
Now, a question - I'm still fairly early into the game (I think?) ... I just got to the
..I went back to Firelink Shrine and killed
with the hopes of getting a good weapon, but I've already upgraded my broadsword with a raw gem, which seems to be a lot more powerful than the katana. Are there any other weapons (straight sword preferred so I can use a shield, as I'm a Knight class) around the early levels that is good for upgrading and.. just keeping for the rest of the game? The last real boss I killed was
. Again, even though I've played through the games before, I haven't really been the best at retaining information from the game such as lore, stats with weapons and armor, etc.

Could use a little help:
I'm in the Cathedral of the Deep. Coming from the Rosaria's Bedchamber bonfire, I walk across the gate to the other side. Opened the double doors, and found the lift to the main altar, except it won't let me pull the lever to use the lift. How else can I get to the main altar?
Can someone who knows please tell me how the
HP stealing capability works?
I know that a "solid blow" is supposed to restore some HP, but I never see it happen. If I equip the Knife in 2 handed mode, and use the L2, I sharpen the knife, and then I notice some HP stealing.
Anyone know if it only steals HP when sharpened?
Otherwise I freaking love this weapons. A fast moving STR based weapon that scales A with STR out of the gate. Glorious!

I guess i simply didn't die enough then.. Which is kinda stupid cause isn't that the point in this game? Survive the challenge in front of you.
I used parry during my first encounter.

So I bought the key to the tower in firelink shrine and
a guy locked me in the tower, I managed to go down by hopping on the tombstones but when I got to the other side of the gate he wasn't there anymore. Is he gonna show up again or is this just from's way of telling you to find another path down
I beat him with a Bandit's Knife at a very low level so I guess I'm #1 Souls player.
He beat me up the first time (thought I almost won through attrition/estus). I tried again and it wasn't too bad. Try doing the riposte (or whatever the L2 parry with your shield is called). I was able to get three in a row, then just take a few swings and it was done.
Could have just been luck with his pattern though.
Theres actually a huge gap period if you are getting the free level ups from the start, since your hollowing speed increases each time.

Its a bizarre quest and it didnt trigger when I went up there
Hopefully all these quest triggers become apparent over time lol
Same here.

Thanks for the answers, I guess I'll need a new shield. I started as a starved named guy and still haven't put points into anything besides some HP and stamina. Trying to decide if I want to go magic which I'm not really fond of so far since I have to sacrifice a estus for an MP estus. Haven't tried faith. I've never done either playstyle before so I wanted to try it now. I'm hesitating on going with pyro since that's what I did in ds1.
That soul arrow doesn't seem very good I mean, I have to shoot an enemy a lot to kill them and uses too much mana to do so.

I made a bad example... sorry.
It's more like asking if Turpentine is the same as Charcoal Pine Resin and Fire Paper. They're all exactly the same, yet, 3 different games from From... GOSH.
Also, I wasn't asking for it, they put the item in the game. I was asking if it worked.

whats up with the entirely shitty and boring character creation music compared to the blissful experiences from Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1? so generic and bad. shame on you From Software.. just yuck.
very bad first impression of the game. a total mess.

Thanks. Oh well, it would have offered a nice damage increase.
By the way, I've noticed when you rest at the bonfire in the Firelink Shrine, or return there, the fog gates take pretty long to disperse. It seems I can "force" myself through by walking towards them for a while. Does that happen to others, or is it a bug?
The trigger for the next part is you getting out
it assumes you teleported out (which is the easy way)
Just go upstairs, he'll be up there

It took me 8 times to kill that guy
because I was stupid and didn't go into Firelink Shrine and level up before taking him on each time.
Just bait him and when he swings big hit him fast and hard during his recovery. Be patient and you'll get him. Even though I'm a dex build I went Raw with the Uchi because the damage output is hard to beat at low levels.
Are you serious? Please say you aren't serious.
What do you mean? I immediatly started accepting those free levels and didn't get past three by the time i beat the watchers.
So yeah, i feel like im missing out on stuff because i play too well. Which just doesn't seem right to me. Strange design decision imo.
the game improves quite a bit after the character creation music

yeah totally dude, i am. you KNOW it sucks and is a travesty, admit it.
I honestly can't tell if this is serious
Maybe I didn't fight the watcher immediately? I just went back to him every two or so deaths and he was ready for more leveling >_>
lmao
DS3 has the best OST so far. Bloodborne was already great but this time they nailed everything so far.

I really don't like the shrine. It's dark, depressing, I always go in and out. The blacksmith is too far away.
Loved to let the game idle in hunters dream or Majula while doing something else.

It's loading the area. If you fast traveled to the shrine, then ran outside really quick, the outside area wouldn't be fully loaded, so they used fog to mask the loading.

I guess without spoiling exactly but to save me from going nuts-- Can I access the area around the dragon from High Wall Of Lothric/the early game or will get there later on (my progress is at the Cathedral/Swamp cross roads, making my way through the swamp)
I just noticed there are items there.
