That sucks. I dunno which is worse, it getting corrupted, or this happening.



Starting with Master's Key, I am ready to venture into the Great Hallow after having played for 1:15 - rung both bells. I've got gold hemmed, too.

You could use the Snuggly glitch and the souls glitch right from the start. Just get Master's Key and run straight to Blighttown via Valley of The Drakes. Just blitz to the Stone Dragon. Start as a pyro, and you get great poison resistance.

Maybe I will thanks, better hurry before they patch the glitch too...

Ah right

I forgot how fast you can do things with the master key. Yeah, definitely do that. It's easy to rush through the game once you know what's up.

I use a enchanted falchion +4 and a crystal ring shield. can hit guys in Anor Londo in NG+ for 1100 damage with my shield
channeler's trident seems good too for a mage, but i think i should do an enchanted weapon.
what is a good one? I don't like the falchion. :0

So my Dark Souls career is over... Came home, was tired... fumbled on the loading data menu and I deleted my 93 hour save game by mistake...

This is why locking save games sucks ass... No way I m starting from scratch... what a terrible fate to a great game... :*(

Edit: Miss the days of codes, cheats and hacks... now you fuck up and its all over man...
holy shit man... i'm sorry

havel's armor is in a bunch of chests in anor londo and you need to join the forest covenant and kill 3 people to get the fog ring

you can trade the skull lantern to snuggly for the fog ring also. if you plan to get the sunlight maggot via the chaos shortcut (which you can get EARLIER than the lantern anyway) its a preferable way to score the fog ring

If you are looking for a PvE weapon, spears are pretty great; low weight, low stat requirements, and tops for defensive play. Of course, you may as well just use the lightning spear rather than enchanting one.

Question:

I went to fight the red dragon in undead burg (parish?) on the bridge. I ran up the stairs in the middle of the bridge, ran across to the other side (just opposite the stairs) then went to equip a bow. Suddenly, he's standing right next to me. I went to equip a sword again, he breathed fire on me, so I ran for it towards the end where he used to sit, lit the bonfire inside and all that, and now he's gone. Is he gone for good? I think I heard him fly away, but I'm not sure.

Also, finally beat Ornstein and Smough today. Felt great to finally move beyond that battle. Did it solo melee, too.

I noticed I'm getting hit a lot in pvp when I try and circle strafe around them for a backstab. They must be catching me on my side lol.

Master key and NG+ goes by so fast. Definitely the only gift worth choosing even if you don't use it until NG+.

apparently it's being patched in as a buyable item, so it doesn't matter!

I wonder if the peeps that were stating that the master key was a game breaker are eating their words, seeing as it saves so much time in future playthroughs.

Being able to skip half of blighttown is so good.

I've literally been over the list 20 times now. All weapons are present (cured and true Greatsword of Artorias). My game is glitched. I've read similar post at Gamefaq as well. Sucks to see the game stuck at 97% even though I've done everything on the checklist. But it is, what it is. I'll feel a little bitter every time I see that 97%, but there's nothing I can do.

I don't think your game is glitched, I think you might be using the wrong list. I know I was... I had everything in the guide, everything in every list I ever found, including ghost blade and jagged ghost blade, until I found one that mentioned a need for the channeler's trident.
Do you have all the NPC items like Grant/Sanctus/Notched whip?
Do you have all the required rare drops (stone greatsword, stone greatshield, etc.)?

I've been hitting the PvP in the final area pretty hard tonight as a bit of a last hurrah for the current incarnation of the game before the patch hits. I'm going to miss Tranquil Walk of Peace when it's gone.

Well, not really. But it's nice to feign pre-emptive nostalgia every once in a while.

Does anyone have a good strategy for defeating the Four Kings. I have fought this guy like 10 times now and he whoops my ass. I am using the gold hemmed armor, Queelag Fury sword +4 and Dragoncrest Shield +2, I am Soul level 51. Any good tips.

It's really just a DPS tank battle. Wear heavy armor, two-hand your strongest weapon and just wail on each one.

Do you have Iron Flesh? It helped me a lot.

The Catacomb is a hugely unbalance zone. All the path makes it hugely confusing. The trap did like no damage, but those skeleton took 5 hits to kill with a +5 divine weapon (or 3 hits from lightening spear) and give 0 soul. Those spinning wheel thing can kill me (about 25 VIT) if I got a direct hit. I died here more than Sen Fortress. So after all these death, I finally got to Pinwheel, and it died from 3 great combustion.

Anti climax!

I didn't see Patches though, where is he?

You could always just not patch until you're ready, or just revert to the older version to do the glitch right?

Man not having the Lord Vessel in NG+ sucks, no warping :(

Not that it takes more than 5 minutes to run through each zone.

I have all rare weapons, boss weapons, and all npc drops except for the Notched whip. I read that the Notched whip doesn't count though.

Do you have all the items on your character and not in the bottomless box?

Try dropping all the items on the ground and then picking them back up.

Ive been hitting the PvP hard in blighttown. I should go unlock the kiln with my level 1 before they nerf Iron flesh... Nito and Seath are easy with it and the crystal ring.

Master Key will be sold by the merchant that sells boss armor under the aqueduct in Firelink Shrine, after he moves there from beating the Gaping Dragon.

Hrm. Gifts should be balanced, not made almost entirely meaningless.
 
About the patch, the absolve price is much more reasonable now with how easy it is to agro NPCs. I wanted to buy the Washing Pole from Shiva last night and put down the controller to get a drink only to have my R2 attack come out.

Fuck grinding for 145K souls over that.

edit: Oh no! Don't take my crutch
pyromancy
away
 
hteng said:
is there a community decision on pvp level ranges? maybe i should make another character before this patch hits.

It really depends. If you are on the PS3, the Japanese players like level 100 around the Kiln. American players do 100 at the kiln as well, but if you are on the Xbox it isn't as frequent. Other than that there is a lot of pvp at Anor Londo at around 50. And there is this new thing starting up with people going through as a level 1 character so you can invade wherever you want since everyone is above your level.

Okay, I'm calling bullshit. Are there hackers in this game or is there an invincibility exploit NOT involving Great Magic shield? I just got invaded and I threw 8 great fireballs, 2 firestorms, 16 great combustions, and 5 homing crystal soul masses at this guy, almost everything connected, and nothing did a single bit of damage. And before anyone goes off on he probably had better equipment than me, I'm a SL 145 with maxed pyromancy, tin crystalization catalyst and 57 intel. Don't tell me that wouldn't do ANY damage to him.

There are hackers with maxed health over 99K, same with equip load, max attunement slots (despite a low attunement), maxed stats, and stamina.

Why can't I damage the Four Kings?

I checked the wiki and didn't see anything of note. I still have a transient curse activated from my trip down there. I can lock on, but my weapon (Quelaag's Furysword +4) just passes right through them. I tried two different kings with the same result.
