Boss was tough, had to whittle her down. Any idea why there is a bonfire just behind her lair? Doesn't seem necessary as there is one just a little further on in Demons Ruins

The bonfire next to her is a firekeeper bonfire. Besides, it's behind a hidden wall and an NPC that only allows you in if you say yes to becoming a servant, so I can totally see the necessity of the second bonfire.

 

[Speevy]

Thanks guys.

Your PS360 has gone sentient. I'd destroy it before something worse happens.

Droll man .......very very droll. LMAO It was my first invasion as well and I was totally sure I could beat him......but i was in the process of changing gear and all that poison gear was not what I was used to carrying to a fight...I got chased the wrong way as i lost my mind and thought maybethe poison would get him.......got too close to the giant rocks................. boom. fell off a ledge on my way to get my souls and 4 humanity. puzzled why I couldn't look the guy up to message that I would be coming to get my revenge!

Got revenge the next time when I realized it was just a computer and helped me with queelag.....good ole from.......crazy as normal............all good.

you can say yes to the chaos daugther (egg burden) but that won't enlist you into the covenant, it will allow you access to the bonfire.

you can only enter the chaos covenant after talkin to the fire keeper.

 

[Hawkian]

Yeah, I meant Blighttown.

Gah.

There's a tunnel. Stay along the edge of the swamp. You'll see it.

 

[Dark Phoenix]

OH MY GOD CAPRA DEMON'S DIFFICULTY IS ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON WHAT TYPE OF WEAPONS YOU'RE USING.

Using dex based weapons like spears and rapiers and scimitars? It took me 40+ tries to get past the dogs and take him down properly. This character with it's Zweihander+5? First try. And it was easy enough that halfway through the fight I decided I'd try to take his tail off... and I accidently killed him trying to do that.

I can't wait to see how cockblocky or easy he is vs. a caster.

I had quite a different experience, I'm a halberd user and took care of the Capra Demon after just a couple tries. Dogs were easy enough: one hit kill. The Capra was block-hit-block-hit-slam-roll-hit-block-hit-etc.

 

[Aselith]

Whoa, I didn't know Capra Demon had a tail to take off. Gonna have to get on that.

 

[demosthenes]

For those that farm chunks/slabs in New Londo, what's your path to get there and back?

 

[QisTopTier]

Anyone find that Seath's theme matches his personality pretty god damn good? An amazingly smart person that WENT FUCKING INSANE over time? Theme really gives that feeling.

Also he sure likes making things, to bad his sorry ass could never make any scales xD

 

[Zzoram]

I hate Tomb of the Giants less now that I've found a bonfire.

The one 5 feet away from a certain jack ass?

 

[Clear]

Painted World Of Ariamis is my new favourite area.

Its like Demon's Souls redux, lots of bits of everything and even good old phalanx puts in an appearance albeit in a different and somewhat cooler form.

Its a perfect DS "level" imho.

 

[Hawkian]

Loooving Anor Londo. Plan was just to just look until I hit a roadblock and then head back to the Depths to farm humanity, but I'm just exploring the crap out of this place.

 

[Zeliard]

I wonder how many people thought that one part in Duke's Archives was a glitch.

I enjoyed that level a lot.

 

[Zzoram]

Um wtf. Is Tomb of the Giants a dead end? I found a Large Divine Ember, and some NPCs to interact with, but I can't find anywhere else to go now.

Go back up :3

Finally finished farming those damn crows in the Painted World for souvenirs of respite. By the end of farming/co-op I left that place with 1.2 mil souls. Went from SL 73 to 99 and bought several miracles & pyromancy spells I was missing. I still have to farm red, white & blue chunks for weapon trophies, not to mention get all remaining available rare weapons before I can move onto NG+.

wait they drop those? whats the drop rate?

lol 1 to 2 an hour... its really bad

 

[Hawkian]

Hmmmmm so maybe I should not examine this painting?

 

[famousmortimer]

Amazon delivered. Dead sexy, and $13.

 

[Pancho]

I feel like such a bad ass now

Thought that the bleed side effect would ruin the weapon but when you down most things with one or two shots is a non issue.

 

[Zeliard]

Is that the Lifehunt Scythe? I think it has the highest bleeding effect in the game, outside of maybe Priscilla's Dagger.

 

[K' Dash]

I'm hating the Painted World so much, how come the most basic undead in the game take a huge chunk of stamina when I cover and take 3 fucking blows from my Iaito +10?

And don't get me started with those fucking things that cause you toxic if they die near you, or those disgusting crow-man like shit.

ugh... I think I'm done for tonight

 

[bathala]

Havel's Armor and Iron Flesh

rolling? <character just gestures = r u kidding me> lol

 

[1stStrike]

Man, I wish I had a dex char. Priscilla's Dagger scales A with dex, does bleeding damage, and has the best move set in the game IMO.

 

[Pancho]

Yeah, it has 50 bleeding effect on you with each hit but I've ramped up my bleeding resistance and so far I've had no problems with the bleeding effect. I just got bored with the Iaito (used an uchi throughout most of Demon's Souls) so I wanted something different.

While trying to cut off her tail I killed her accidentally
I really wanted that dagger.

You're upset that you're not one-shotting everything anymore?

I know the feeling, it happened to me too. I was kicking ass for a while in the game then the painted world gave me a reality check that I was still playing Dark Souls. Humbling experience.

How do you get her armor?

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Crap. I just got to the blacksmith in Undead Burg and was really excited. Got up to get a drink and set the controller down, only to strike him. Now he hates me. Realized it would cost me 44,000 souls to pay my way for him to calm down. Guess I am starting over again.

Oh well, I just found out about the Drake Sword today, so getting back should be a bit easier.

 

[Babalu.]

sens fortress is kicking my ass. stupid mages

 

[bathala]

trying to get Ornstein's armor but Smough just keeps his distant. its hard to get near him especially in Iron Flesh

 

[hteng]

How do you get her armor?

kill darkmoon covenant leader gywndowlin. he's located past the fog of darkmoon tomb bonfire. it's in the hallway you fight him

Spoilers:

Spoiler

Get the Dark Moon Sceance ring from the catacombs, then go to anor londo to the bonfire that's a floor below to the entrance to where you can enter the painted world. When you get to the bonfire put the ring on and the huge statue should dissapear. You have to enter the fog wall ahead (it breaks the Darkmoon covenant) kill the boss inside and the armor should be in a chest in the room that you enter after you defeat the boss.

Thanks to whoever told me how to do it, wish I remembered who it was.

 

[K' Dash]

lol, it's been a while since I one shotted anything in this game, I just don't understand why they put the most basic enemy, just so much fucking stronger, and those thing that cause toxic? I just run to the bonfire to start all over FUCKING AGAIN.

Toxic is just a death sentence if you don't have the blooming purple moss...

I know the feeling, it happened to me too. I was kicking ass for a while in the game then the painted world gave me a reality check that I was still playing Dark Souls. Humbling experience.

Meh, I'll turn human tomorrow and summon a phantom I don't have time for this bullshit, not even blighttown made me rage quit the game, lol.

 

[Augemitbutter]

just wear poison resistance gear.

 

[Max]

OT3 already? Holy mackerel I haven't kept up with these threads at all

 

[Toth]

Okay..ending spoilers...

Spoiler

I lit the flame and the area exploded around me in flames, taking me with it. Did I still save the world

 

[redhot_]

Lol taken with my laptop cuz my camera is dead... Was actually way easier to get then Demon's Souls.

Just go up and whack the toxic guys a couple times, which should take off nearly all their health, then finish them from afar with a bow or knife. You can also just kill them normally in melee and you should be able to roll away before the toxic explosion gets you if you're under 50%. I was also using an Iaito +10 at the time.

They changed things up a bit in that level and I appreciated that. In most cases fighting enemies in melee is a similar experience, but with the toxic guys you have to change things up slightly. Also basic enemies being stronger is just a preview of what it'll be like in NG+. :>

Just got to the "disaster archers" I've heard so much about. They were not prepared for my agility. Took two tries and cemented this as my favorite area in the game so far. Aw Yoshi.

 

[K' Dash]

Stock on arrows and find a spot where you can hit them but they can't, I'm all melee and this worked wonders for me.

 

[redhot_]

just over 100... most of it was just first 2 playthroughs that took so long.

Totally agreed. Such great level design.

There are still parts of it I haven't explored, namely the very bottom. I'll come back later though.

Indeed, I blaaazed through Sen's but I only spent a little while at the bottom with all those Titanite Demons.
