Will I be able to imbue my weapons with magic/fire/lightning anytime soon? I'm about to go into the depths.

what the hell? why are neither of the onion knights at the spot for the end of their questline?
Lightning needs to wait until you find the blacksmith in anor londo.
Fire can be done at the blacksmith in the catacombs.
Magic can be done at the blacksmith in the cell at the beginning of new londo ruins.
If you have green titanite shards, you can go get magic right now and push it to +5.
I did all the guy things, and got him to appear in lost izalith... i had talked to the chick beforehand and answered yes both time. last time she apologized for her dad being a pain in my ass at firelink. I then went to lost izalith, found dad, killed all but one squid, talked to him and he jumped down. i then killed the other squid while he was attacking it... but now I can't find either of them, especially not at ash lake where they're supposed to be.

I talked to him after the battle and then talked to her again iirc after that at Firelink. Then went to Ash.
Since I've been stuck on
for the past couple of days, I've just been messing around.
I'm shocked by the amount of things I missed and I don't know if I would be more or less surprised if there were other areas I haven't seen yet.
Lord Gwyn
Found the painted world, which has since become my favorite level. Murdered the Giant and Skeleton blacksmiths, Big Hat, and the priest at Firelink. Killed Knight Solaire, as he seemed pretty insane at that point. Opened my first attunement slot at SL 83, and cast my first miracle, ever. I've even helped other people defeat Gwyn so I can have more time to learn his patterns.

Ornstein and giant Smough seem pretty resistant to lightning but fire works well. Regular Smough is weak to lightning.Ken said:

Shit, that's a ways off. I started pumping points into INT since I've been completely ignoring it so far.
The stat scaling in this game is throwing me off though. If I'm using an enchanted weapon (poles are what I'm leaning towards) it scales directly from INT but until I get that done it's scales off of DEX. How do I know when to stop putting points into DEX? Do imbued weapons have an INT requirement?

I'm doing it and having a good time with it. Your guy is well rounded, easy to upgrade to use different weapons, and quite survivable. The club you start with is actually a good scaling weapon (provided you give the Strength score some love.)
Forgive me for reposted my post but the pages move so fast and I really wanted to get peoples advice on what magic type to focus on.

Ahhh, a trip back to izalith. Let's hope he's still alive.
Apparently he took enough damage to be dead at the conclusion... :\ At least I got my titanite slab. And I killed his daughter out of frustration. No speckled ring for me this playthrough...
In fact, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I've murdered everyone. I blame the guy in here who put the idea in my head. I'm rolling with +16 humanity for it now though and picked up a few interesting weapons from the blacksmiths.

Were you trying to fight the first boss with that broken sword? If so just run past him to the doorway on the left side of the room.

You get your gear after you died (or maybe not) first time :xFutureman said:

If you're doing an INT or Faith build, just flat out don't raise STR/DEX beyond their requirements. The scaling on them (typically Ds and Es) for the melee stats is just practically irrelevant and a waste of points.
If you're not aiming to do an INT build, then you're really better served just not trying to use the Magic or Enchanted weapons. Basically, you have four options:
1) STR or DEX builds (just taking the weapon to +15, really; raise the stat it scales with).
2) Fire or Lightning builds (stat independent)
3) Enchanted builds (INT dependent)
4) Occult builds (Faith dependent)
Well, I guess you also have:
5) Don't care!

been trying to get summoned for one hour with no luck i can't complete my playthrough like this. looks like i'll have to abandon this game until the patch.
very sad, but it's unplayable online right now.

I have to say the catacombs is the worst place in the game by a long shot, horrible to look at, horrible to play and the enemies are horrible to fight. Not quite sure what they were thinking with that place.
Also I accidentally hit the blacksmith whilst trying to save him, no upgrades for me.

How is occult different from divine? Better faith scaling?

I got summoned 3 times in a row yesterday in front of Smough and Ornstein's room, maybe it's your level, when you're human do you see many summon signs?
Confidence Man said:
Better Faith scaling and a different damage type and/or damage bonus. It deals more damage than Divine vs certain targets (humanoids, for instance). There's still some work that needs to be done to look into exactly how they differ.
The same goes for Enchanted vs Magic, though I'm not sure if there's also a different damage type in the mix there. I've benched my INT character and need to re-roll here later so maybe I'll do that down the road.

You first need to run over to the second building - it has another illusory wall that you can hit. It's basically on the same side of the building that the bonfire one is. Then, if you look out that door, you'll see a sort of covered arch-way that's angled down towards the lava. If you run under that piece of building there is a tree branch you can run up and around to get into the area near the boss. The boss isn't right there, though, as there's still some part of the ruins you'll need to run through first.

In all seriousness though, I'm in this area now and I'm almost done with the game. I saved it for last on purpose and it's actually pretty easy because of it. So if you're getting frustrated with it then just go somewhere else.AtomHeart said:Are you for real? Good lord.
