Man. Anor Londo is gorgeous!

I say as I'm getting suddenly being pelted by arrows and now I'm dead because I typed this.
Fuck.

Whoa, holy shit at the NG+ multiplier for farmville forest. Combined with my 40+ INT and crystal homing soul mass... I don't even have to use the trick... I wipe them out in less than 2 minutes and get over 25k a run. :lol
Not exactly great for leveling, but damn good for stockpiling extra spells...
Now if only I hadn't fucked up and told Laurentis about Quelana (since I had the +5 ascended flame on me from my original run)... I wonder if he disappears immediately -- I got a new flame to +9, but want to get it to 15 and ascend for a red titanite slab.
Sif is dead, Moonlight butterfly is dead... next up, I think, is Sen's fortress so I can go to anor londo and get the lordvessel.
Nobody can hold a candle to crystal homing soul mass. Sif was kicking my ass with that double spin attack -- I'm so used to blocking it that the fact that it would cut through my full stamina and do enough damage to OHKO me, that I had to change strategy -- iron flesh + crystal homing soul mass. Wave bye bye to Sif, everybody.
I can't wait to unlock crystal soul spear, as my regular soul spear does about 500+ a pop.

I went down into the Demon Ruins to get the gold-hemmed armor on a friend's suggestion, but not to bother fighting the thing. So I picked up the armor, and ran back to the entrance totally forgetting that it would be closed off, and the boss jumped over to me and died instantly. ?_?

damn bloody bollocks.
Got to near the top of Sen's Fortress with no flasks and about half an inch of health. Desparately ran for where I thought the bonfire would be, and dropped down to it, only to find the tiny little fall killed me
Is there another bonfire before I get up there?

I think my inability to warp is preventing me from switching to forest covenant -- I know since Sif is toast, Shiva will be down in blighttown; I want to buy him out of the unique weapons I missed last time... however, I don't really feel like climbing down there, I'd rather warp to the closest point and run over (same goes for upgrading pyro flame)... ugh, I guess I really do have to do Sen's fortress, unless I want to take on the catacombs first and kill pinwheel for the rite to kindling...
What's the best way to take on the army of wheel skeletons down in that pit before pinwheel? I know the first time I go through that area, I'll probably drop down to unlock the blacksmith even though I don't really need him... which means I'll need to deal with Sen's fortress next. Ugh.

Seriously considering selling this for Forza 4. I was so excited for this game, thinking I could deal with the difficulty. Problem is, I have limited time and Dark Souls isn't very amenable to 30 min play spurts. A shame, probably would have been close to beating this by now if I was still in college or high school.
On my new guy, instead of a spear (like I used on my caster) I upgraded to get the Furysword...I fucking love it. First, it looks cool. Secondly you have the cool moves of the other curved swords where instead of the kick move, you do some cool spin thin. And lastly, it scales with humanity AND glows with fire when you swing.
Haha, hell yeah dude. Wait till you get Crystal Soulmass.
No dice man. Whichever you kill last is the soul you get.
Ornstein's is for some spear that isn't very good.

Is there a way to still get the soul of smough somehow after beating the couple? I received the soul of ornstein but need the other to boost my weapon..
Otherwise: from what weapon can i use the soul of ornstein?

Huh.... took me less than an hour to farm 9 Souvenirs from the Harpies. I expected to be stuck there for several hours.
Damn.
Also, in the hunt for the White Titanite Slab, I accidently stumbled into Nito's lair on NG+. Beat the fucker up like the little bitch he was on the first go, then went back to Firelink, and back, to grab the slab so I could finish the next to last weapon reinforcement.
Feels kind of weird knowing that a Platinum is only 3 easy trophies away. Took me ages to get one in Demon's.
You need Large (found in The Depths) and Very Large (found in a horrible place in Tomb of Giants, filled with 5 or 6 giant skeletons), then you give them to Andre, and he'll set you up. Bring loads of Titanite shards, 9 large shards, and as many chunks as you can. You'll get it up nicely. Might not need a 15 right this minute, but on it's way to 10 or slightly higher and you're set.

The invaders in the Duke's Archives are the worst. I tried about three times to get seath with a buddy and I kept getting invaded. The guy practically kept running towards enemies to get them to kill me. Wouldn't fight me on his own, backstabbed me when I'm focusing on the other silly enemies. Too bad I don't have anything to invade people with because I would so do it out of spite.
So I've upgraded my Halberd to +10 with large titenite shards and was wondering where I should go with it from now on? I have my dexterity 12 and strength 12, does it scale with both, if so then should I start leveling up either one? I'm not familiar with the upgrading scheme yet, is this called a raw weapon now or is it still "normal"? I'd appreciate any help!

Anyone know if the Demon Machette is any good?
I always hear the SHotel is nice cause the R2 attack in unblockable? Thinking about pimping mine out.
Im at the point where I cant go much farther with my Drake. Got a ton of boss drop weapons and a ton of basic weapons.

Just about fed up with this game.
Blight town. So bad. It's not even a "challenge". I just don't want to do it. I have no idea where to go. I can't see shit. The framerate is awful. Poisoned all the time. The stupid bugs keep fucking up lockon. The stupid dart shooters are annoying too. Everything is annoying. Not difficult. Annoying. Doesn't make me want to get better at it. Makes me not want to play it any more.
I found the shortcut, too, in Valley of the Drakes. No idea where to go from there though.

I actually attacked the mofucking exploding maggot blobs and got raped on my way to the boss. D=

Crystal Ring Shield is the best to make, but Quelagg's Fury Sword is pretty cool looking and pretty good as well. The Golem Axe sucks, Ornstein spear I can't use, Sif's Greatshield looks cool and is very stable, but very heavy, his swords look pretty cool, but I can't use them either. As for Priscilla's weapon, I've never really given it a chance, but it has a cool concept with the Bleed damage and is unique in that it is a Scythe.
Americanmushroom said:
Moonlight butterfly, you can make the shield that a lot of people (i think) were confusing for the "flying guillotine". As a shield, it sucks. As a weapon (you throw a light disk that's equal to double the damage of the weapon in your right hand), its pretty good. I use it to one shot the silver knights in Anor Londo.
I've also made the Quelaag Sword, gnarly looking thing that doubles as a firesword.
I have the other souls you listed, except Priscilla, but I havent used them yet.

Alright, will try, thanks. Had to take a detour to the Catacombs (yes, went all the way there without warping) so I can get the Rite. I hadn't kindled the bonfire inside the Anor Londo castle, so my suggestion to all of you is:
Whenever you can kindle, kindle that bonfire to +20 flasks. You do not want to fight the Anor Londo boss with only 10 flasks like I'm doing, especially when you need to kill all the enemies outside of the fog gate so you can summon Solaire every single time.

I was using the shotel until I ascended it to the furysword (which looks awesome). I think the Shotel is one of the coolest looking weapons plus you get the cool flip moves that go with it (and all curved swords).
I can't confirm the R2 being unblockable though. Somehow I doubt it.

Fuck those BP's that invade on Anor Londo and press the middle switch, only to snipe you from the other side of the ceiling in the big paint room. Like seriously, fuck them.

Blighttown becomes much easier to navigate once you get rid of the toxic guys. After you pick up a few select bits of loot there's no real reason to ever go through the level again when you have the big Drakes shortcut. And later on an even bigger shortcut.
Having said that, I liked Blighttown.
It's just that unfortunate framerate. Outside of that I appreciated how dangerous going through it felt and how ghastly it looked.It looked like darkness to me!Zeliard said:Blighttown becomes much easier to navigate once you get rid of the toxic guys.

On the rare occasion that something was lit up enough for me to see it, it reminded me of that dreadful part of RE5.

Well, thanks for those tips about parrying Gwyn. He quickly fell to my Gravelord Sword +4. Awesome game,
. Overall this was much better than Demon's Souls, and the most engrossing game I've played this gen.
terrible ending

Isn't Ornstein's a rapier/estoc/mail breaker weapon at +10 and his soul? It's what my list has...
