the Lost Izalith. I have no idea what I did wrong but he died almost instantaneously once he dropped into the mud. I killed all the squid things in about 5 seconds but it didn't make a difference.

Really wanted to complete his path.

I did as well, but man :/

Where should I pump more in now?

Also how many Achievement points is possible on first playthrough?

I'm an achievement whore but messed up one cheev by killing someone in the depths I wasn't supposed to. Also I didn't cut the tail on gaping dragon or gargoyles so I messed the rare weapon cheev up too

I'm trying to do this as carefully as possible from here on in first playthrough.

I got lightning spear from fortress. What weapon should I find/upgrade? Is it worth me farming now or later?

Did you get the bonfire? There is one you can drop to near that enemy, that then lets you drop back to a staircase and get back to just a minute before the area with that enemy.

There should be markings on a broken wall nearby to drop down, but be careful because that area can be hit by the enemy.

You can safely snipe it from below, or you can make your way up there. I sniped it.

I'm confused. The princess guard has nothing to do with miracles, AFAIK.

You can get all but 2 cheevos/trophy in 1 play if you're willing to grind stuff out. 1 is for the ending you didn't choose, the other is the rare weapons. The earliest you can get the rare weapons achievement/trophy is partially into your 3rd, once you have the soul of Sif and have made it back to the blacksmith at Anor Londo.

the bombs drop at a set interval, it is possible to get through if you run past at the right time.

Hopefully they don't patch it. It's not like it's hurting anyone. Besides, it's a nice way to mess with builds.

I would snipe it, but I have no arrows, bolts, or fire magic left. Basically a sitting duck from below.

Fuck yes.


I beat the game yesterday and that boss pissed me off to no end. I think I died about 8 times.

Not because he was particularly hard, but because of A. the floor falling B. me missing the mark rolling on the branch and C. he hit me off the edge EVERY single time (even when blocking)

It's the only way to pay Attonement fees once you're a high level character if you accidentally hit an NPC.

2000 souls x your soul level, for a SL100 character that hits an NPC, they have to pay 2,000,000 souls to remove aggro.

They already said they're patching it. ;p

I'm assuming that's what they meant by 'infinite souls and magic' glitch.

EDIT: Nvm that was items, not souls.

Moonlight Butterfly Soul and a +10 shield. Anor Londo blacksmith will do it.

Any shield or specifically a great shield? I didn't see the option to update my +10 spider shield but maybe I missed it / didn't actually upgrade to +10.

Perhaps it is the amount of HP you have. But they do alot of damage.

Spoiler

The way how I approached him was rolling under his legs and hit him a couple times. The grab has a decent amount of tracking, but I believe it is easier to spot, you just have to know when to back off. All his other attacks can be avoided if you roll under his legs iirc if not very close to him.

the grab is glitched, even when your behind him he can get you sometimes.. and for that move that seems to be 1 hitting you, just carefully roll around. Good thing to do is summon that npc in the tower across, he owns with his great sword.

I don't think it's wrong for someone to want to roll @ max soul level after they've beaten the game 2-3 times. I don't have a problem w/ that. I have a problem w/ Forest Covenant campers.

Can I wake Frampt up?

 

[Cloudius12]

You need to find the bonfire that is hidden from view at the top of the fortress, you don't have to do the whole fortress again.

Not a troll

You need to hit him with your weapon once to wake him up.

I know I'm way behind compared to most other people here, but had a lot of time to play today and managed to make my way to Sen's Fortress.

What a fantastically designed area. Before I'd been kind of on the fence as to whether this game had been living up to Demon's Souls, but it definitely does now.

Fought the boss a few times so far, getting closer each time.

He grabs between his legs and a bit behind him so stay to either side and a good distance when he does it and you'll be fine.

He kept getting me too until I figured this out.

DO NOT stay between his legs.

Better yet, whack the shit out one leg, have him fall, smash his face in while he's on his ass. If you know pyromancy, set his ass on fire while he's down. Great fireball abuses him.

Forest Covenant Campers are just like... wow.

The first and only time I tried to let myself get summoned, it was to some guy who clearly didn't beat the boss yet as evident from the giant glowing door in the distance. We beat an invader, but he's just going around chopping bushes. After about 5 minutes of this, it goes like:

"Yo, man. What are you doing?"
"Camping forest covenant."

Your name says it all man! You gotta go quick...I died the first time creeping slow, so the next time I dashed right for the stairs and made it without a flame. It is impossible to totally miss a flame on the way back here or there so run with high flame protect shield up and wear the flame ring which is acquired down the stairs with the two rapier hollows. I was wearing the gold trimed set and hardly took damage with all three. THere are safe spots all over the area....usually you are safe in narrow passageways...open areas are fair game and he will switch areas so until you kill him you best learn his spots...there is the original one, one furhter toward the Ricard Kight on an open walkway, and a third right near a bridge with a gap that you will have ot jump to
