I hope this is similar to the Nexus because I have not come across a single shop yet. I have a question though, I have 50000 souls saved, and I am level 12. What should I level up? Drake Sword doesn't scale, and I have 50% equip burden from my armour of choice so Endurance is out.
I'm assuming the Drake Sword will be obsolete very soon right?
Oh speaking of boss fights
the Giant Rat was so crazily more difficult than anything in the game including the boss directly after, I'm wondering if I just fought it completely wrong.
I've been using humanity as a cure so far (has some weird properties that makes AI not want to attack me).
Showing up for a summon with Smough's armor set on is great. They don't know how to react at first, you can see the confusion in the players' twitching.

Only 5 hours in and you're in Blighttown? Are you some kind of Demon's Souls pro?
The first merchant was down a hidden staircase in the Undead Burg, before the first bonfire. The second merchant/NPC is just below the bonfire in the Undead Parish.
Ya if you farm up 30 poison cures and 10 toxin cures, and use the Spider Shield, Blighttown is pretty non-threatening. Well, assuming you have a bow and arrows, so you can lure out enemies one at a time wherever there is more than one.

You're gonna want to get rid of that Drake Sword very soon. Since you're in blighttown now, I'd probably do it after you ring the 2nd bell. It should be OK till then.
As for stats, what kind of weapons do you want to use? That's pretty much how you should determine where you invest your souls.

I just helped 3 dudes with Smug and Ornstein before I do it myself, good farming point I died with the third dude I was helping but smug was 2 hits from being dead, I'm sure he got it.
I intend to do a quick run with a new character eventually, but my Sorcerer is going to go through to NG++ to get all the trophies first.
I ended up like 2 or 3 trophies short of a platinum in Demon's Souls, I just needed the boss souls in NG++ to finish my rare weapons and get the last miracle.
Yeah I know, after seeing that I never played it again. I knew you could skip Worlds 1, 3, and 4, but I didn't know you could skip 2 and 5. Anyway my point was that I wasn't saying Dark Souls was easy; that I have experience playing Demon's Souls.
besides lol, that wasn't a speed run, I was waiting for Blue Phantoms to save and Black Phantoms for white CT
INT doesn't do anything to upgrade Pyromancy damage. It only upgrades the melee attack for the glove. It seems like this gets asked/posted every 2nd page.

Does anyone else feel like Pyromancy is really overpowered PvE in this game? If you dump souls into upgrading your glove, you can do so much god damn damage with very little investment in ATT.
Either the depths trainer you rescue or the egghead trainer in Quelaag's domain can ugprade your pyro flame to +15, then you need to meet a girl sitting against a stone pillar in Blighttown somewhat near the boulder throwing ogres, she can ascend it and upgrade it to +5, as well as selling some great pyro spells.

Well, while that is true, the big problem is that by the time he gets to the point where the Drake Sword starts to lose its muster, he'll essentially just be picking up Easy Mode Weapon No. 2 (Lightning Spear) and it's all downhill from there.
