I don't think you can aggro the Maiden. You should attack her next time you're in the Nexus.Zzoram said:

She does have very few HP though and could accidentally killed her.
My friend hit the attack button setting down the controller, he took a swing and over half of her HP went - we both gasped.

World 3-1/3-2 were sort of the "oh shit, this is amazing" moment in the game for me.
World 1-1 almost made me quit before I even got started, until I caved and started a Royal. A few years ago, being totally new to the series - starting as a Mage was a bad idea.
I sucked at he melee mechanics, relied on spells - but had no way to regen my magic other than buying spice. I'd get a little bit into the level, need to use spice to regen my magic - then need to go back to the nexus and spend any souls I got to buy another spice, and not be able to get any further the next time.
I'm sure I could do it now no problem ---- but my first four hours with that game drove me up the wall.

I don't know if it's him, or the first Pyro trainer that is the most killed (or at least the most attacked).

I never really got that far in it, but seem to remember being very freaked out by a hospital/prison level with medusa's shooting fireballs. Just having to sneak eveyrywhere, assuming death was in every cell, around every corner. Just so creepy.
Will go back and replay when I've finished Dark Souls, but after a break with lovely cuddly UC3 and Zelda, which will both feel like skipping through fields of daisys in comparison
So started NG+ last night. I was under the impression that starting a NG+ reset the enitre world back to the "start of a new game." Including covenants.
I ended the game in the Forest Covenant and one of the first things I did was high tail it to the forest to farm souls. I did not realize I was still in the covenant and killed the forest dwellers, thus screwing myself out of the covenant. Pissed me off as I did not purchase any of the covenant items on my first playthrough and I was looking forward to picking up the washing pole for PVP.
Oh, well.....there is always NG++

The helm is 100% drop, but there are 9 bugs and it only drops from one of them. And only once, you can't go back and get more, even though all 9 bugs respawn. There are (IIRC) 5 on one side of the shortcut and 4 on the other.
man this game have lizards too! i hate them..missed my first lizard bohoho
So i was at Undeda Parish and accidentally i entered to chimney boss area and used that stone to warp back to bonfire cuz i didn't have any flasks with me. SO i decided to level up and explore more before getting slaughtered by chimney boss....I ended up in the forest lol. I li the bonfire at a tunnel. Killed one of those big knights finally.
And came to an area with a blue small dragon thing. ALmost killed it but i died boho.
Should i use few stones i have for upgrading my longsword or battle axe?
Am i gonan get a better weapon soon? Also can i push forward in that area more or do i have to return back and kill the boss at chimney?

Tip if you want it.
They don't work quiet the same as Demons Souls. They only spawn once and if you miss them they will spawn again in the same spot later (exit/reload a couple of times works too). Not nearly as annoying. They do seem to be faster to run away so you might not even see them sometimes.

Anyone wanna help me get Priscilla's tail?

I think I just rekindled (pun not really intended) my love for the Bandit Dagger. I just upgraded one, turned it divine and put all my remaining Green Titanite into it for the Catacombs, with the Hornet Ring equipped.
It's so much fun. What's a normal attack? EVERYTHING IS A BACKSTAB. The only downside is that I feel mildly silly because my shield is like three times the size of my weapon.

I got it with a veritcal chop about 1/3 from the base? It may have been 2H r1 or r2 with my Iaito... I think it hit closer to the base than the end, but her tail is so short comparatively that it's hard to do. Definitely wasn't aiming at the tip, but more the middle when it connected and dropped.
Hit her with an arrow or some poison cloud or something so you can track her (poison is probably preferable, since you could see her damage bar I would think (little, not big) while she's vanished.
I did it solo in NG+ and got the tail when she was less than 1/4 health. I thought I was going to have to die on purpose, then it dropped so I slaughtered her. Lightning Iaito really isn't fair to her... I should think any lightning weapon with a large horizontal slash/swing window could do the same... you just want minimal damage from it, since you can use 2-3 of those to easily "shot in the dark" and once connected with 2-3, she'll reappear.

Pretty sure they respawn in this game until you actually kill them / they actually die (not sure if falling off of a cliff counts as a death though.) But if they run into the distance and fade away - they will respawn until you actually kill them. You can just quit game / re-start and they should re-appear.

I got it after a couple attempts when I switched to a Claymore. All you need to do is make sure you're hitting her in the back. The most opportune time to do this is after her scythe swipe attack. She'll show you her back momentarily when she's recovering. Get a hit in then and back off.johntown said:
The biggest mistake you can make is hitting her at get sides and think you're making progress. If you can see that she's going to die shortly, get yourself killed near the entrance and try again. While I'm not saying this strategy is completely sound, I got her to drop it when she was at 30% health. It's easier if there's a second person acting as a distraction but it's still fairly easy solo.
Yeah I think there's no limit.Eccocid said:
I find it kind of annoying. I wish I could see what I'm looting before I loot it or something. Scrolling through a list of 300 items, each with 20 duplicates to find a specific thing is really annoying. Dropping them takes too many button presses. Feeding to Frampt is annoying when you can only do 1 at a time. I've fed him stuff by mistake before because I was spamming the X button to sell a huge list of duplicates but since you can only see 4 items per page, I hit the next item by mistake.
And it sucks that I can't just not pick up items because I still need shards/chunks and stuff.

Although if you bother to equip Cursebite ring and have some good humanity stocked, you can basically sit in those clouds until they dissipate and never be even close to being cursed.

Upgrading doesn't affect stability, so no point in upgrading it. But yes, it does have the highest stability in the game. I love using it. Plus it looks cool.

They don't really attack you, other than trying to curse, that's the main offense they have -- so if you just put on crimson robes, you're fine. I think dingy robes are good too... maybe the antiquated set as well. But if you know there's going to be frogs (depths, great hollow, ash lake) just switch out your armor. The 2 times I got cursed unwillingly were before I realized that the red robes gave like 3x curse protection of the gold hemmed ones.

Anyone know the changes made to Ornstein's armour in the patch?
For something that reduces the stamina regen rate it's kind of shit despite it's awesome aesthetics.

The interface for that is soooo bad. It should have been just press x to dump highlighted item into box.
You know, like any other sensible storage system in the last 20 years.
