if you raised the door to sens you are 4 snake monsters away from a lightning spear...don't bother upgrading anything just yet until you know what you want for later in the game.....lightning spear +4 right now as I can't find any slabs but it beat SIF and is still going strong through anor londo.Ken said:

When you get out to
the top of Sen's (i.e., the area with the bomb throwing Golem), look for the tower separated by the small gap. It should be before the tower with the locked cage shortcut and right after the drop for the bonfire. Do a running jump across and you'll find a vendor and the Key at the base of the tower.

Shadow gear is the earliest set you can get near Blighttown with high poison resist but surprisingly the Wanderer gear you find near the second bonfire has much higher poison resist. The upside to using the Shadow gear is that you move really fast. This combined with the Old Rusty Ring which I backtracked to go get made this entire area MUCH easier.

No. Actually, she's necessary for two trophies: killing her nets one, and she's needed for two items as part of the item collection trophy (tail dagger + soul weapon). But in terms of available bosses,

That one doesn't work like the others, where the tail vanishes and leaves the item behind. You need to
go up to the severed tail tip and line yourself up with the bloody stump to get the prompt to take the sword. The damn thing bounces all over the place, and someone in the last thread apparently had the Havok-induced physics madness bounce it clean out of the world geometry and render the sword unobtainable.
It's easily the most annoying tail weapon to get by a mile.

all im going to say this is one popular game.
3 official threads in what seems less than a month.
Ive given it a try and its too slow and RPG-ish for me, but im glad you guys are thoroughly enjoying the game.

I have a ton of stamina and play a lot with the cloranthy ring. I run, flip, and dodge a lot. I spend about as much time trying to score critical hits and avoiding fights altogether.zazrx said:

You will have a difficult time for awhile.
There is another trainer
in the swamps of blighttown. She tends to appear when you have your glove upgraded to +10 - although I have heard reports of her appearing sooner than that. But for me, she didn't appear until I had my glove up to +10 - I made a similar mistake to you, but my character is mostly melee - I wanted Pyro for some extra fun.
Eventually, after you beat the boss of Blighttown - there another trainer behind there. I'm not sure if you need to join the Covenant or not - but do NOT kill the egg-sack man back there, is is the only other trainer.
He can modify your pyromancy flame - he only sells two spells though - Poison and Toxic mist. But once you get your flame up to +10 - another trainer should appear in the swamps of blight town, and she will have a wider selection of spells to purchase, and can continue upgrading your flame.

You are going to need to be content with your current set of Pyromancy spells for a long-while unless you re-start, as getting access to other trainers/spells wont happen for a bit yet.
So GAF I'm at
and been trying to upgrade some of my weapons but don't really have a clue where/how to do it.
I think I understand a bit though.. Basicly, upgrade a weapon to +5 and you can upgrade it into different sections (Lightning, Fire, Magic, Divine etc). But you need to kill certain bosses and use their embers at Blacksmiths in order to be able to upgrade your weapon to Fire, Lightning etc. Oh and I'm a Sorcerer primarily so I'll be trying to upgrade my weapon to Magic, which needs to be done at the dude in
right?
And a question for people who started out as sorc: What did you focus on later in the game, STR or DEX? My END is pretty high and so is my INT. I'm in doubt to be honest.
Anor Londo right now, right before Ornstein and Smough. Been walking around with the Lightning Spear ever since I got it

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Went for the amount of STR and DEX that was required to equip some of the gear - so not high at all. Other than that, I went END and INT until I reached like level 70. After that, it's vitality all the way through.Wimps said:

I did STR/DEX based on what I wanted to wield.
http://darksouls.wikidot.com/upgradechart For upgrade path.
I had like 16 strength so I could use the Eagle Shield, that was about it. Otherwise it's Int -> Attunement (up until you have five or six slots) -> End -> Vit.Wimps said:
You really want enough INT to at least cast Homing Crystal Soulmass. Which is like 36, IIRC; 44 is for Crystal Soul Spear; and then 50 for White Dragon Breath.
Wimps said:
That's not quite correct; you use Boss souls to make Unique equipment, typically from +10 versions of weapons/shields. The elemental/Divine/Magic stuff is from Embers (or certain Blacksmiths). Other than that, pretty much correct. Upgrade to +5 and then Ascend it ("Modify Equipment" option) to access the other stuff.
Yeah, he's the Magic/Enchanted Blacksmith. Though, you'll need to get the Embers for Magic +6-10 and Enchanted +1-5.
Personally speaking, INT or Faith builds should ignore STR/DEX unless there's a certain weapon you want to equip that badly. I prefer a lot of the easier to equip weapony (Halberd, Claymore) so I don't find much point in >20 STR (Washing Pole) or >18 DEX (Max Range on the Phalis Bow).

Because people like to stand still and hold their shield up when they fight and think they are safe.Yoshichan said:
Made it past the infamous Anor Londo archers on my first try. the four big dudes you have to get through from the first bonfire to the boss fog are rather feisty though. ;-/ I ran past them when trying for the boss a few times but I wonder if I can summon the sun praiser for that fight and I think I probably have to clear the room so I can wait for his summon to come through before I enter the fog.

You can't block their grab, though it's telegraphed. They're only annoying in swarms, personally, and that applies to basically anything with a grab. As far as
