ROFL!!!! So I just executed one of the best invasions ever in anor londo.
You guys know where the two silver knights with the DragonSlayer bows are? Well from that ledge there are 5 windows that look INTO the bonfire room. Well sometimes when you invade someone they just wait at the bonfire. So I was watching this guy through the windows... he was too afraid to leave. So I sent him an XBL txt message that said "I'm watching you". He stopped to send me response of "orly". And then I told him that he had "nice havel armor + spear...." and then another message that said "nice stamina ring... it's awesome". After that I dropped down onto the balcony to confront him... tossed a lloyd's talisman and then backstabbed him and stabbed him again as he was writing a reply to my msgs. lol...
I can't believe I baited him into messaging me. rofl... and I didn't even get indicted. I'm a terrible terrible person.

Actually this made me thik I's lie a book base on Demon / Dark souls, or a Universe/ Multiverse Encyclopedia by the story director.
TerryWogan said:
You don't need to go there, it's an optional area. But you get there by
going to the opposite end of the swamp from Queelag's domain and going into the huge tree, there is a large branch/ramp that leads in there. There will be several slugs in the water
After you rang the second bell Sen's Fortress opened up, so you should head there.
The issue here I'm guessing is that he died initially by the bonfire, so when you restart, the Knight still hasn't had time to wander back to his spot (he's one of the games non-respawning enemies, which is good in many ways but also means that he isn't subject to a bonfire's 'resetting the area' property).overcast said:
The solution then is to die somewhere far enough away from the bonfire that the Knight won't re-aggro. This might prove tricky though, since all the area's other enemies will be respawning.

My thoughts exactly. The guy must have a Super PS3 because Blighttown was probably the worst part of Dark Souls. I'm still playing now, and I enjoy farming, but I promised I would never revisit Btown unless I positively have to, and even then the shit better be significant for me to do so.

Pff this game.. i love it but at the same time i kinda find it fucked up that i never know where to go next. I've just beaten seath the scaleless, gave soul to lordvessel.. and now what?? Can somebody in the game explain it to me or do i have to ask here all the time 
. I'm starting to find this pretty frustrating.

It's still there, that's never how I killed it though. Threw some alluring skulls down, double handed my weapon and went to town on him. He jerked to the left and killed me, lol.
I finally got his head helmet though, didn't drop last time through.
I also did 75% of the Taurus Demon's health bar with a plunging attack!
vpance said:If you're high up in Blighttown don't look down. If you're down below don't look up. There's your FPS fix
But if you're down below you can't look left, right and sometimes forward either! The only "fix" is to actually pan the camera up so you're overhead, but then you can't see.

Wallachia said:Lol. You are just scurred cuz it' so nasty and ugly and decripd. Blighttown. The name is so fitting. Gotta shout out that the rickety, moving board paths is an awesome add in
Scared, frantic, lost. I felt all three while playing blighttown. I eventually had to look up a youtube walkthrough to get the hell out of there. With the bad framerates and shitty camera angles I didn't want something would pop out and kill me.
P.S. While playing Blighttown at night I kept my lamp on. lol, I needed something to light up the room.
Minamu said:Do I have to make my own cursed weapon or can I find something before New Londo? Or are those transient skulls or something feasible to use for an extended period of time?
Transient curse lasts a long time, and the ghosts drop more often enough to make it last. They also drop a dagger that lets you hit them, so you'll be fine.

Had a couple failed Big S & little O co-op runs. I've seen that I can pretty much handle both with my fury sword as it deals very noticeable damage. The problem is that when Big O comes around a party member is dead or the summoner is Big O's target and can't heal. I go in there and with no armor...well I met that spear head on.

Yeah down below in the swamps there's not much you can do. But the enemies are pretty sparse and you got room to run around.
Speevy said:
You can manage to avoid most of the poisoning down in the swamp except for maybe 2 spots? Running to the boss island and another spot in some corner for some items. The rest of it you can run from island to island. The mosquitos are annoying but it's better to just run away or equip the fog ring. I did grind the forest a bit for purple moss but only once since I had a ton from playing there so long in the beginning.

OK that Strategy Guide (Hard Cover) is ridiculous, so much info, my god, it's a whole world onto itself
I got it for $13 through amazon, what a fucking steal
Think it's $24.99 retail no?, I think Gamestop was selling it for $34.99, was like WTF!?!
Damn, this could be a coffee table book, seriously, I love just browsing through it
If you are fan of DkS, you need to get this, it's a fucking keeper
Also what is the over/under on OT4, I think some steam is going to get lost due to the big releases for the next 7 weeks straight, good lord

Haha. Yeah I love how the Gaping Dragon come out of the depths.. like it is something that came out of Blighttown. Cool how at first its' head looks like a small monitor lizard crawling up.. and then BLAMMO!!

Not the response I was hoping for
Reloaded and her stuff wasn't there. I'd been waiting on that bow for ages as well because I have fairly high dex. I then immediately got killed by an invisible knight in heavy armour and lost my 20,000 souls :/
I think I'll come back to the forest a little later. Blighttown it is!

This is definitely all sorts of true. I keep finding new useful information and it works great as a reference for stats for armor sets, weapons, etc.
