Is there anyway to get rid of the clinking sounds of some of the heavy armor. They sound like you are hauling around a bag full of pennies.
It's so damn loud especially when an area doesn't have any music. I tried turning down the sound effects way down, but it's still noticeable.

I was expecting/hoping that
with all the "First of the Dead" business and whatnot and how he just sort of sits in his sarcophagus all the time and how he has a whole covenant dedicated to serving him that the fight with Nito was going to be like the Old Monk in Demon's Souls and instead of fighting Nito himself a Gravelord Servant would be summoned to defend him. Would make the Gravelord Servants a much more dedicated PvP covenant than it is now, with its glitchiness and hands-off approach to PvP.

Lol beat Sif my first try and got hit once. Absolutely crushed her.

That's such a cool way of doing a boss fight. It's a shame they couldn't redo it for Dark Souls without making the fight super unreliable. Hopefully the sequel goes back to dedicated servers.

So why was that plume removed from Ornstein's helmet when the player uses it? The helm looks so naked without it.

It's interesting when a ghost that pops up in game is yours. I just failed an invasion, and when I got back, I got to watch my death again.

Sif is a Norse goddess.
Had something REALLY funky happen just now. I used my red orb to invade at Undead Parish and I got the "Invading as a dark spirit" message... and I ended up as a white phantom in someone elses game instead haha. Glad I could help him out after having invaded him once before, but it was weird.

The same reason the capes were taken off the player version of Balder Armor:
From Software screwed us and gave enemy models cloth physics, but not player models. This is also why our robes and cloaks still stick to our goddamn legs in 2011.

Why couldn't it just be static then, like the silver knight's cape?
Damn from, too busy sitting around eating okonomiyaki to work on their game. I am so mad a Form

Having great fun with my lvl 100 PvP character. I'm rocking a pretty intense build. The only real trouble I've run into is TWOP. I've got ROF's in the bag for the most part unless they have a partner.
Was slaughtering a guy in Kiln that told me he was level 538. Love that the Darkwraiths have no upper invasion limit. Sadly he kept running away and healing and I had no humanity on me to heal.
So what are the GAF guys setting the PvP limit at on the 360? I'm sitting at 100, but I know 120 was the standard for DS. 20 more points would be great for my build. I'm too fast, with too much health, and too much armor. lol... Sadly the skirt is getting nerfed, but I've got my replacement ready to go.

I don't think so- you should always be dodging, as Smough will often break your stance and Ornstein likes to just jump around and stab you in the ass. Go human and summon some help; it makes the fight much easier.

Alternatively, use a regular sword to get the Cursed version, which can hit Ghosts.
(You'll find an occult club that you can downgrade to Divine later anyway)
Just farmed and hunted my way to get the Lifehunt Scythe. Too bad I don't have any demon titanite left.
I'm not sure what to think of this weapon right now. It's okay unupgraded, but the bleed effect hits me too. It also amuses me how this weapon's R2 is just as fast as its R1.

You want something with sweep because skeletons like to swarm. I just made a Divine Gargoyle tail axe because it has the most balls easy R1 sweep to control (you don't shift all over the place), which is what you want in Catacombs. Alternatives might be claymore or zweihander if you can handle the STR/DEX. Otherwise just make a mace. You don't need a divine weapon in TotG from what I remember.
FINALLY defeat Smough and Super charged Ornstein, solo. After like 8 failed attempt yesterday (twice with white phantom to help) yesterday. Went again today:
Attempt #1: Got BBQ by Ornstein, because I thought I can dodge by running through his leg.
Attempt #2: Got butt slam by Ornstein, because I didn't roll fast away enough.
Attempt #3: Got thunder bolted because I rolled into a wall.
Attempt #4: Dead before killing Smough.
So I switched to use magic with 18 int, 10 homing mass and 40 great soul arrow, and the fight became much easier. The faster cast time and longer rangereally helps. I don't know why it can't hit enemy in air, but Smough is pretty easy with great soul arrow. Went on to fight Ornstein, but the homing soul mass did pity amount of damage (like 160?) since I only got 2 of them with 18 INT. Fortunately great soul arrow still do 250 damage. With the help of pillars I finished the fight with 1 flask and 5 spell left.
Sorcery is just so much better in this fight. When I used fire orb it does 680 damage, but the slow cast and short range makes me miss lots of them and sometimes got hit back. At the end, Sorcery > Pyromancy, at least for this fight.
Now, looks like I am going to Ash Lake. Tried to get coop for S&O but no one summon me after half an hour.

This is pretty cool, I think.
As a sidenote to this post, goddamn Deviantart is a cesspool. For every good piece there are 400 drawings of sexual fetishes or 12 year old's pencil drawings or both

Goddamnit I really hate this fucking Capra Demon. I keep getting cornered.
It took me 4 tries, but I finally saw
sidequest to the end.
Anybody else notice that
Siegmeyer's
Anybody else notice that
if you use the binoculars to look through the eyeslit in Siegmeyer's helmet at Ash Lake he doesn't look hollowed? Now I'm not saying Sieglinde murdered her father in cold blood or anything, but I'm pretty sure Sieglinde murdered her father in cold blood.

it will kill you if you use it on waves on enemies. only useful if you're fighting bigger ones every few steps. i tested it for a whole day, and it was fun to fight with. bleed effect took a huge chunk of my life away btw, about 50%. will wait until next patch and see how much they have upgraded it.

Or they didn't bother to change the model. I'm honestly a little surprised they actually gave him a head/face and he's not just a helmet in the first place.
I know you were joking
BTW you still didn't get the good ending to his quest

at the last major stage, fighting the octopus demons, kill all but one of them, let him help out and make sure he has more than half health remaining, talk to him again when done, go back to Firelink and talk to his daughter, warp to Ash Lake, see happy family reunion

Does the Lost Izalith shortcut stay open between playthroughs?
