Demon Ruins boss. Ow.
Any hints? I even was using mad anti-fire gear.

so if I have all the boss souls to enter the final area, is that a one time trip? or can I leave up until I enter the final boss fight?

Which one of the 3?

You can go back, just don't enter the fog and kill the boss.corrosivefrost said:

Grind for upgrades on your gear, it is very important. This game isn't terribly hard if you have the right gear that complements your playstyle. Just find a weapon/armor combo that you like and upgrade it. I have been using the Balder Armor for most of my game time because I upgraded it a bunch (+9) and like the stats/weight.Plywood said:

Ceaseless Discharge? Keep close so he doesn't use his fire attacks. Dodge his melee attacks then attack his arms as he recovers.cj_iwakura said:

Ah, right. What does it entail, though?

To kill the
hydra you need to run up as close as possible (without falling in the water) which will cause the hydra to only use his melee which you can easily block with a decent shield. Then you just remove heads one by one
About Darkroot...
You can almost completely avoid the giant knights by staying to the left-hand wall. When you fight them and they use that spell you pretty much just want to hold up your shield, block, and then regain stamina until it wears off.
I also played a Wanderer as my first char, and that's what I did at those points. Though, you seem to have a bit more of a magic build as you said.

Well that could do it. I was deliberately keeping away.

If you don't mind a bit of cheesing/glitching...
You can make the hydra beach itself. Run like a motherfucker to the other end of the lake -- when you start to enter the forest area, turn around and look back at the hydra -- it will beach itself trying to go back to it's starting location and die. +2 dragon scales, +10000 souls, I believe.

Ceaseless Discharge, Demon Firesage, or Centipede Demon?

GAF, I took a break on the dragon, but I still can't kill him by hand, he just flys over me and does fire until I die, even w/ sweat, the ring and the grim reaper suit on.
How the fk can you kill him if he just constantly heals from arrows and kills me like that on the ground?!

Combustion might be over powered. Maybe I'm speaking too early, but damn this shit is nuts...

Not too bad once you learn the controls. Think Street Fighter Footsie when you are playing.Relix said:
I'm just not coming across enough souls. I was at the Depths boss and only faced him once and died because I was unaware of the tail attack. But I figured that was a good thing because I could upgrade my pyro flame through Laurenitis or whatever his name is. But I haven't found a good place to grind, everywhere I go takes forever, and I've only gotten my flame up to +4. I did also buy the Fire Orb, 8,000 souls being a ton to me right now. I'm at level 25, and I never level up because I'm using my souls to try and upgrade my spells. I feel like I'll be underleveled soon, and that's if I grind like crazy to get my pyro flame upgraded enough still.
I can go beat the Depths boss any minute, but I don't think it's a great idea yet. Plus the ring from Oswald before I enter Blighttown is rather substantial as well. Any suggestions?

But you have a lot of like 40+ Str weapons to choose from!
And man, I spend 20 minutes in the character creator and after utterly failing to top my first character (female), I manage to podge together some Leon Kennedy/Brendan Fraiser-looking mother fucker that I doubt I'll be able to take seriously.
EasyMode said:
While it is true that Leon is my favorite Resident Evil character, it's just going to be odd playing through this game because I won't be thinking "man, how am I going to get past this hard challenge?" but rather "I wonder what cheesy one-liner Leon would tell this Capra Demon."

Are you refering to Sunlight Maggot? If so, those harmless bugs you see in Lost Izarith drops them.EasyMode said:

If you're willing to roll at half HP, there *is* a ring that gives you more casts of all your spells.

Whoa, holy shit.
You can trade snuggly/sparkly for a red titanite slab:
Ascended Pyromancy Flame Red Titanite Slab
I have an extra one that hasn't been leveled at all yet... I wonder if it's worth the souls to get it to +15... I did find that soul farming trick using dark anor londo... fuck it, I'm a do it. Then I just need blue and regular ones, I think -- I can clean up my fire and chaos weapon trophies in my first playthrough though. Niiiice.
