What item is causing that purple glow in your hand?

Dark Hand, the weapon/shield you get from the Darkwraith covenant. Has a unique blocking animation when you use it as a shield (looks really cool) and if you use it as a weapon, the R2 special attack will suck humanity from a player or NPC.

Nice, what gear is that?

 

[x3r0123]

Congrats man! Yeah I'm trying to plat as well - can you help me out with some questions?

How many playthroughs did it take to get all rare weapons?
To get the miracles trophy do you have to get all miracles (Sunbros, Grave, etc.) in a single playthrough or does it carry over?

i'm at ng++ atm and i was able to get mostly everything in the first playthrough
miracles carry over just like the pyro and magic spells

 

[knitoe]

Is the only way to get Brass armor set

to kill Gwyndolin?

And negatives to doing so?

Spoiler

Can't join the covenant anymore. And, the Fire Keeper get piss off and attacks you. Thus, to can't use the bonfire next to her anymore. Though, you can still teleport to it.

 

[Darklord]

Can you make your spawn point an older bonfire you lit?

Thats it?

What are the variety of coins used for(silver, gold, copper)? Coins, not medals. I know what the Sunbro medals do.

Gold-Hemmed Black Hood
Dark Leggings
Ornstein's Armor
painted asssin's gloves

 

[Aselith]

I got the farthest I've been inside Sen's Fortress and then that stupid fake chest ate me I mashed my buttons but he just killed me, any way to spot them as opposed to actual chests?

Easily, take a swing at any chest before you open it from here on out.

Sweet, my copy of the strategy guide arrived today. Don't know if I'll read it but shit I had to have it damn it! lol

 

[Facism]

finally completed. Great game. Massive stress if you like to collect everything :,

Skeletons are weak to fire and blunt weapons. Pretty sure the Anor Lando bosses are resistant to Lightning.

Found it handy for the maps - mostly in figuring out what item drops I missed in an area after I was done with them. Didn't pay much attention to the walk-through along with the maps - but having them for reference was handy.

Also great being able to see all of the items / stats - especially after upgrades. I found the guide as a PDF on the net awhile ago - but still snagged up a physical copy the moment a local store had it. Quality of it is great - great cover, thick glossy pages, def worth having.

 

[K.Sabot]

Thinking of getting my dex up to scale with Queelag's furysword. I feel it could end up being one of the best dps weapons in conjunction with humanity, though I'm pretty sure someone has already disproved that

Electric weapons/ vitality builds are too good.

Tell me about it. I MUST play NG+ just to get the things I missed. No damn pendant that I've found yet, and the one spot I've read confirmed to give it, I had finished already by getting all of

Queelag's Furysword doesn't' scale with humanity. Chaos blades do.

EDIT: I'm mistaken. Guess I've just had the max humanity that affects it for too long.

 

[Spy]

So I confirmed that I killed the first Pyromancer trainer in Blighttown when he tried attacking me. Also, I accidentally killed the third Pyromancer trainer that's near the

Great game, same way Demon's Souls was but with a little bit different taste.

You have it backwards.

Wraiths in New Londo.

 

[Finalow]

You want to get back to the room after

Spoiler

Seath kills you right?

Well remember how you escaped, you climbed up the long ass ladder and wound up in the Archives area?

As for as who can you help, 2nd and 3rd boss in Demon Ruins, Tomb of the Giants.

dude i killed seath, i'm at the start of duke's archives but i don't know how to reach that place. no ladders around here.
and thanks, but where is the 3rd boss in demon ruins?

 

[Risk Breaker]

They can't or wont patch it, Demon's Souls still runs like shit all these years later as far as I'm aware.

Yeah but the slowdowns here sometimes look like bugs. In Demon's Souls the drops came with particles or heavy physics load. Here in DaS I think it's the water shaders or something like that, Anor Londo for example is a huge place with no slowdowns at all.

 

[Finalow]

what's the best weapon?
i have the sword of quelaag and the lighting spear, not so great.

Aw hell no I am not going to deal with those damn frogs in Great Hollow again.

hmm i one shotted the taurus with black knight greataxe
it did like 3.4k damage

 

[sssstententen]

edit: Nevermind, have to try it out some more. Maybe just the frequency of people unhollowing near Firelink?


Just noticed because it happened 3 times in a row.

Catacombs are a pain.

 

[papersleeves]

Holy shit at Blighttown's framerate. It's like I roll my body on a floor full of sticky stroboscopic caramel. 90% of my deaths in this zone were caused by this fucking sugar coated issue.

Uhm, dude, to each of his own, I guess. I NEVER died thanks to the framerate in Blighttown. I died there cause I was reckless, and because I wanted to get out of there fast. And rushing in Dark Souls mean you will die. Or fall down.

 

[K.Sabot]

God damn mushrooms punch out all my blood. I'm even blocking.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Ornstein is weak to fire and Smough is weak to lightning

Smough is also weak to fire as well. I'm certain because yesterday I went to town on him with my fury sword <3

The lag sucks but if you fall to death it's probably your fault, bro.

I love this game

Yeah I did that last night and it was a pain , especially considering that the boss itself is pretty easy otherwise.

 

[test_account]

Damn, when i got back to the first bonfire earlier today, the

Spoiler

silent woman who can upgrade the Estus Flask was killed.

. Why is that? I

freed the prisoner before the Bell Gargoyle boss. The way he talked reminded me a bit of Yurt The Silent Chief from Demon's Souls, so i guess maybe he killed this silent woman? How do i re-light this bonfire?

 

[UFRA]

Can you make your spawn point an older bonfire you lit?

Your spawn point is always the last bonfire you rested at. It doesn't matter whether it's the first bonfire you lit or the last one, only the most recent one rested at counts.

 

[K.Sabot]

Giant blacksmith.

I thought that right after I warped out last night.

An awesome way, just let it play out.

 

[Kyoufu]

Can you parry with it?

Yeah, but it blocks more magic/elemental damage than physical, so I don't know how useful it is compared to most shields. Still pretty cool though.

Yeah, I never came close to dying because of lag, or even getting hit because of it (and not my own suckiness).

Spoiler

you need to find lautrec with that black eye orb and kill him. He will drop the firekeeper's soul. Use that use to revive her

 

[scy]

Spoiler

Did you

Spoiler

loot her body for the Black Eye Orb on it? If not, that's probably why. The game outright tells you, basically, to use it when you're in Anor Lando to kill Lautrec. The Fire Keeper's Soul you get from that fight is brought back to the girl to revive her. Though, her soul isn't anything special so you can use it to get an Estus Upgrade, I think, so that's another possibility.

 

[sotodefonk]

I level up my int to buy spells even if I dont use them just to make the trophy, but the guy with a big hat (logan?) is no longer at the firelink shrine... Im fucked up until NG+?
