I'm around level 60, at 40 END, 37 VIT. Would miracles be a viable way to spec now? I want to join the Sun bro covenant, and that seems like the fitting way to spec.
Also, just get a 100% phys shield, and constantly circle him counter clockwise. He will miss most of his attacks if your character is below 50% encumbrance. The key is backstabs, just keep circling and backstabbing. It can take a long time.

God damn, what a brilliant moment of fridge horror and the remorse it drew from me in The Archives:
For all the bullshit like Lost Izalith and Demon Ruins worms this game can pull, it's moments like these that really make it worth playing.
After killing the snakes guarding the gramophone I could hear a woman crying in the cell below. I killed some of the octopus things that hadn't gone up the stairs and made it to the cell to see Big Hat Logan. I was puzzled to see him there and not a woman but I killed the other 2 octopus creatures next to the cell door since I figured that if I free him before doing so, he'd go hollow if they attack him. But the cell doesn't open so I read the description on the keys I have, wondering if maybe I need yet another key. I also read the description of the miracles the octopus creatures dropped.
Then it hits hit me. Oh shit, those octopus creatures were the ones crying, they're sun maidens who were turned into monsters by Seath's experiments. I started to feel bad because I was (and still am) unsure if they were aggressive when they saw me. The others attacked me on sight but I'm not sure if these did since I had low hp from the others and was panicking to stay alive.

Take off all your armor. Don't lock on. Roll towards and past him when he attacks. Backstab. Repeat.
I did it right after I got the Drake Sword, well before I was level 34. Should still be doable if you don't have the Drake Sword, it will just take longer and therefore a bit more skill/luck.

Always lock-on and move in circles, block only when he's about to hit you, never stop moving and back stab him. I would say that you should roll but rolling got me killed plenty of times. Don't attack him when he's waking up.
I beat him when i was like lvl 12. Him and the Black Knight were mad frustrating lol.
What's a good weapon to use against the Hydra?
I just got the sword from the Hellkite Wyvern (still debating wheter to kill him or not, he's easy though). I'm currently lvl 20 with meh STR stats. Not sure if I should try killing the Hydra now or wait for later.
You mean there are more black knights later on? Oh god ;_;

Beat Havel at sl 8. My solution was fire bombs. It took a while. Waited to throw or attack after his attack. No way am I'm attacking first.

Take off all your armor and go 2 handed + do what the others said, fairly easy once you realize he 1 shots you with or without your armor on so an increase to your movement makes it cake.
So if anyone wants to give me advice on where to head I'm all ears, I'm level 31 ,I've gotten the wolf ring, havels ring and killed the butterfly thing just after ringing the first bell.. no clue where to go

Is there a way to break out of grab attacks? I try to mash buttons to see if it breaks me out any quicker but it doesn't seem to have any effect :/

For the life of me, I can't get Seigmeyer's quest to play out to the best ending... not sure what I'm doing wrong in lost izalith.
Also, I hate fuckin' Nito.

Yes.
Everything in there, sans the hollow bodyguards for Rhea, Patches if you answer wrong, and the black knight respawn.
How many scales have you offered? I tried it once and it was so weak in 1st play that it got relegated to my bottomless box.
Oh, because i died, went back there and didn't find the first one, so i hoped.. :|Zzoram said:
Well, then i'll need that light spell 100%.
@Corrosivefrost: i don't know what scales you're talking about, cause i barely got into Tomb of the Giants and died falling in a pit while fighting, 2 times, at which point i decided to do Duke's Archives instead (and take that damn light spell).
Got summoned into about 4 S&O fights tonight (SL54). One of my summoners got a blue invader, some odd text (I can't remember what it said) popped up when the invader joined the world. The guy who summoned me into his world hid back by the White Door to S&O and after a prolonged dance with no real exchanges, I absolutely murdered the invader with ye olde Quelaag Fury Sword.
My Sorc's still SL17 and I made it to the fog door for Anor Londo and (as I'm typing this) holy crap I'm being summoned?!
[edit] Helped a guy beat

the twins. Having solaire (his other summon) draw attention while I spammed soul arrows made it pretty much a piece of cake. Probably helps that I was using a fog ring at the time, although I'm not sure exactly how bosses handle it. I didn't get much flak at all. Wasn't even touched.
The gimmick boss of Lost Izalith is some of the most janky and awful things I've had to endure this gaming generation. In NG+, you have to have an absurdly high level of luck to jump to the branch (in the awful Dark Souls platforming way), while being bombared by its regular hands and its fire-based super attack. And OF COURSE, it's practically impossible to block these attacks since you need to focus on landing on that stupid branch.
Is there some shield that blocks the damage of the fire swing? My Eagle Shield can block the hands, but it's the fire one that one-shots me.
