Do they respawn?
edit: beaten haha
I never really figured out a consistent way to kill them. Good news though, they don't respawn. I spent about 30-45 minutes figuring out exactly how many of them I needed to kill to run through that area, and slowly did that. There's a hidden bonfire in the 2nd building, and you can use the buildings to sort of cheese the dinosaurs. Just take it slow and realize you're going to die. Those things are harder than most bosses in the game.demosthenes said:

I did, she never opened the door
You can avoid them both, one won't aggro if you run to the right down the stairs, the other one will miss you with his lunging attack, and the enemies refuse to follow you once you are in front of the fog gate. I fought them for awhile leading up to the boss, then just started running past them because it was a waste of time.MotionBlue said:

Great after my game crtashed during the boss fight I can't seem to find any summon signs what so ever for gravelord.
So annoying, maybe it thinks I'm still in the fight somehow? Or I still have those 2 phantoms from before summoned? Dunno but while I can place my sign none others are showing up, not even the NPC. Wherever he is.
Argh. Really dont want to solo him.

I mean, all you do is run.
Lost Izalith can go fuck itself. My sorceror one shots the dinos but regardless it looks awful, chugs terribly, the constant WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH of the lava is annoying, and every time a dino leaps at you the framerate goes down into the single digits.
And there's like fifty dinos. Fuck that zone.

Dinos are perfectly fine. I'm not going to refer to them as undead dragon hindquarters everytime I want to talk about them.ixix said:

Well, claiming a zone is anti-melee because of that is just being lazy. I'm pretty much pure melee, and had no issues with the Demon Ruins.
tip: Lure shit out one at a time.
Not very hard. I only died once to the horde of 10 Taurus demon's due to rolling myself off a cliff - my fault.
Took me a bit to clear out the Capra Demon's - but they were not hard. I did die once after I reached the bonfire when I somehow managed to aggro every one of them on me at the same time - but still managed to take out 3 or so before eating it.
The other Taurus guys do re-spawn - but they are easy to kill.
Is the level kind of a 'bleh' one? yeah, but is it anti-melee? no.

There is a safe zone right as you enter that lava field. USe arrows to draw 3 to that root and watch as they destory each other. Finish of the last one with arrows or magic, or even a down weapon slash jump if you can do enough. Once at the 1st building with the treasure in the middle, you can draw them one at a time, until the path to the second is clear. The second building has a root you can climb to the second floor. This is awesome. It allows you to draw several groups of the zombie legs to destory each other. It may take several arrows to fully agro, otherwise they turn around. Hidden bonfire in this building. Directly infront of the bonfire, is the path up and out of the area.

holy shit...
MotionBlue said:
Not blaming the player, but the complaints are a little much for such a short zone.
It's literally descend an enemy-less hill, fight through 1 room of guys, bonfire, descend stairs, boss fight. The enemies are about as tough as the Giant Knights and Silver Knights in Anor Londo.

I just finished reading 22 pages of the plot thread on GameFAQs. Mindblowing. I missed about 50% of that in my 80 hours.

Yup. They're the same as the
remains of the zombie dragon you kill in the painting world - after you kill the dragon you can run toward the end of the bridge and you'll be blocked by its remnants (ass and rear legs), which stand up to let you pass if you hit them with a strong attack
This game is huge. And not Oblivion/Fallout/Borderlands style huge where the world is just kind of big because there's dozens of nearly identical dungeons and dozens of nearly identical grassfields that share the same enemies, but huge in that there's a crazy amount of content -- it's like they combined Dark Souls with the next two sequels.

NOTE TO MELEE CHARCTERS:
Make the crystal ring shield. It shoots a magic blast and the locked on enemy for twice your right weapons power. Its absurdly powerful and will help you put down any normal enemy in the game in two hits, unless you are incredibly under powered.
It will make lost izalith and demons ruins, easy

Guys need some expert opinions.
Currently a lvl 32 warrior using the gold witches armor since it looks badass LOTR style. The problem is I'm still using this blasted drake sword. Will anything pop up sooner or later that would be worth upgrading. I have longswords and the zweihander but nothing amazing. About to start new londo next.
Thanks

Thanks all. I guess I need to start farming then if I want to upgrade. Is the typical progression up tp 10 and then elemental?

Co-op'd with my friend tonight. White soap sign spamming worked quite quickly and we both took down the Gaping Dragon. The game is amazing once again.
Can this be put in the main FAQ?
Repeatedly putting down your white soap stone,
wait 20-30 seconds,
if your friend doesn't see it.
Repeat until success
Works a charm

That's what got me to twig to it.
I didn't actually get the one in the Painted World to stand up, but I recognized the two droopy things that I think are supposed to be the dragon's bottom ribs or something, and after seeing them on the things in Lost Izalith and thinking they looked familiar for a second I realized that oh my god the witches were making immortal dragon butts they all must die.
3:30 in, fought some boss with
which turned out to be completely optional, and I'm actually enjoying this game a lot less than I thought I would =(.
I don't like how many enemies with Spears there are (something is wrong with their AI), even then everything else so far has been easily parried.

Anyway, instead of me complaining about the stuff I don't like, I have a funny story about a boss that hopped off a cliff. ^&^ Probably scared by my naked character.
