Nope.

Oh man, you can only trade each item to Snuggly once? :'(

 

[schwall20]

Finally someone helped me kill that goddam thing

 

[Macattk15]

I looked in the book of sinners and found some obvious hackers so he might have been one.

Yeah I have no idea, don't even remember their name.

This was around SL100 though ... not some lowbie BS stuff.

 

[K1LLER7]

guys i'm worried, After beating the

hydra

, I circled the water area and beat the

golden golem and saved the women

. then I saw the summon sign and while talking to her, another golem came from behind and killed her, so have I missed out on something important?

 

[Hawkian]

ahahah... really stupidly lost out on all the souls from the Stray Demon. alas!

Getting better with the Jagged Ghost Blades. can't match the raw damage of my lightning knife (yet?) but I love them too much.

She sells miracles; stuff like Repair, Cast Light, and Chameleon.

Probably some high critical thing then. No idea what damage looks like that high.

Does anyone have a particular weapon they are attached to? I've used Halberds and the Iaito (+5/+8) respectively, but I haven't found a weapon I really like yet.

May try a Claymore next?

 

[vodka-bull]

How can I forge my Longsword +5 to Longsword +10 and where can I find the required material for that?

 

[schwall20]

Luke,
Ive been loving the black knight sword, I have mine upgraded to +2, does 246 dmg

 

[equil]

Oh man, you can only trade each item to Snuggly once? :'(

Actually, you can do it infinite number of times. But when you restart the game and come back dont pick the new item up, just drop another one, and it'll stack on the old one.

Yeah I haven't got one of those to drop yet unfortunately

I liked using the great axes/hammers on my first character built for STR. My Pyromancer doesn't really allow for large weapons though so I'm just sticking with the Lightning Spear.

How can I forge my Longsword +5 to Longsword +10 and where can I find the required material for that?

You need to find the ember that allows you to go from +5 to +10. I think the Butcher in the Depths guards that ember but I'll have to double check.

So, too late to do this, I guess?

Just got to Tomb of the Giants and all I could think of was: REALLY? FROM is just trolling us at this point with annoying levels designed to make people stop playing their game.

*sigh* is it the darkness? There are ways to make light.

I hear ya, but honestly, after Lost Izalith, I'd take Tomb anyday.

Remind me how to use the bosses souls. I have like 5 or 6 sitting in my inventory and I don't recall how to use them to improve weapons. Went to various blacksmiths and they don't seem to care.

 

[Defuser]

Finally beaten 4 kings,man you guys are right when you all said to abandon your normal playstyle and go iron flesh 2 hand weapon combo and go stright out crazy on them.I can't reach with my pyro without getting hit from them.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Upgrade various weapons to +10 (might have to check the wiki) and then visit the Golemsmith in A. Londo to upgrade.

Do you not use a shield? I was able to get up close with my pyro using a regular sized shield and just circled close around the Four Kings spamming fireballs. I lose almost all my stamina blocking an attack but since casting doesn't consume stamina, I can usually recover enough stamina to block the next attack. For some reason my Iron Flesh must have been glitched since it didn't allow me to use it as soon as I entered New Londo Ruins.

 

[GhostRidah]

I hate skeletons right about now, especially when I cant find the damn fire guys.

+10 weapon of type matching soul + soul @ anor londo blacksmith.

I had a Gravelord invade me with his blight-type shit putting red skeletons up in the catacombs. And I had several instances of skeletons now dying against my divine iaito+9 unless the necro was dead. :\ That was an aggravating experience.

 

[TTP]

Thanks Ken & Armada & corrosivefrost

Finish them off with a divine weapon to keep em down.

 

[toastyToast]

Is the Iaito in Blighttown worth going back for?

 

[corrosivefrost]

Is the Iaito in Blighttown worth going back for?

If you like Uchi/Washing Pole, hell yes.
It's right off the entrance via the depths, takes 2 minutes to go get.
I have a divine iaito+9 and working on an iaito+15 (currently at +6) to use with crystal magic weapon.

Finish them off with a divine weapon to keep em down.

Unless you're me. <curses>

 

[Ghost23]

I see the bonfire off the cliff in Sen's fortress, but I have just a sliver of health and no estus flasks. Is there any way to get a little health so I survive the fall?

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Iaito is easily one of the best weapons in the game when made into Lightning - however, the Uchigatana equally good (has thrust R2 instead of charge swing though) and can be bought from a merchant at the bottom of the waterwheel side of B.Town if you are a member of the Forest Guard Covenant.

Did not know, thanks!

Only way I can think of is evil eye ring and go kill a couple things very carefully.

Use a humanity is the other option?

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Finally finished this bad boy up for the first time. I beat the final boss with a Black Knight Halberd +5. It may not be as fast as some of my other weapons but man that thing does some damage.

I also helped 3 people beat the boss before I even tried him by myself. That aspect of the game is seriously brilliant, it's so fun to help someone finish up a boss that they're struggling with.

Use a humanity, that bonfire is worth it. You could also try falling in such a way that you land on the sword of the bonfire, slowing your fall, and causing you to take no damage maybe.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Did anyone with the (horrible) LE artbook notice some of the unused monsters? Like the Fat Minister riding a boar? Wicked stuff.


Shame the quality of the book is a disaster. It's more like a collection of papers now.

Were you using a Transient Curse? That counts as a buff, and the game only lets you have one of those at a time.

when theres like 3 kings surroundong you I don't think your stamina can hold out long.

Maybe, but I remember not throwing on transient curses when I died and sprinted past all the enemies straight to the Abyss.

I must have killed him fast enough before getting ganged up by multiple Kings.

0 Humanity. Oh man this is going to be crazy.

Yeah I was actually looking forward to fighting that guy. Haha, my book died too - at least From is consistent with surprise death.

Just finished Tomb of the Giants. Not sure what the hate was, I thought this one was pretty good. Now, that being said I completely, totally, and unfairly had advanced warning about this place and the darkness from this thread. So I did Lost Izalith first, and got the Sunlight Maggot.

So if you have not done any of those zones yet, trust me, GET SUNLIGHT MAGGOT. Because for me, a first-timer in Tombs, I found it enjoyable. I couldn't actually believe how far you had to get into Tombs in total darkness before you got the lamp, and I could see that being majorly frustrating.

However lots of people here talked about being ambushed, archers from out of the darkness, etc. Well, it's a Souls game... not trying to sound condescending, but walk don't run and shield UP at all times. I got ambushed plenty from those archers (I exaggerate... I think there is maybe 3-4 of them in the entire zone). But all it did was bounce off my shield and let me know someone was out to get me.

Anyways, YMMV of course, but I found the atmosphere and slow pace of this zone to be really quite good. I liked it much more than Lost Izalith in which I felt the architecture and atmosphere was fantastic, but the enemy placement was somewhat... uninspired.

Only one trouble with my Tombs run

Spoiler

I told Patches that I was a Cleric. But when I came back up out of the hole to talk to him, he said I was a scumbag Cleric, and he'd finish the job himself and attacked me. I had to kill him, but I had thought that later you were able to buy items from him . Not sure if that is what happens if you tell him you are NOT a Cleric or not.

Spoiler

You need to tell him you aren't a Cleric, get kicked down the hole, and forgive him afterwards and then he'll head to Firelink Shrine. He doesn't seem to be as important a merchant compared to what he sold in Demons Souls though.

Patches will sell the equipment of Vince and Nico, as well as Humanity and Eyes of Darkness - oh yeah, and the masks that Pinwheel can drop. Good stuff.

Also, why can't Stockpile "Dad of the Year" Thomas get a cameo. Come on From.

Hell yes, such potential! Oh my god, it would be awesome if you heard this haunting, echoing voice of Stockpile saying, "You have a heart of gold..."

Also, I'm pretty close to getting my platinum trophy - any idea how many others have gotten plat/full achieves here?

Where should I go after Nito? His was the first Lord Soul I've gotten.
