What is your PSN ID? I don't remember seeing it in this thread.
As for the sanctus, you get the HP regen even if you don't have the requirement to use it.
Question: do you use power within? It's a must with this kind of challenge or else 4 Kings will be impossible to beat with an non-upgraded weapon.
YEs I have used power within a lot, but nort as much as tearstone....buthtat is AWESOME news that I can get the health from sanctus..... as even though the power within drain is samll I think sanctus will be enougfh to slow it even furhter such that I can concoctthis normally ridiculous combo:
POwer within (health drain slowed to baby crawl with sanctus), Fire orbs, duskcrown ring for extra orb casts, dusk crown for damage boost, bellowing dragon rign for extra orb damage, heavy cross-bow two handed, lightning/heavy bolts depending on enemy. It may only be useful for farming the mushrooms or something, but if i can get 60 seconds of error free dodging mixed in it could possibly be a wildcard for a co-op situation like O&S. 2BH I am thinking four kings may not be the toughest boss at all as I have seen SL1 videos of NG++++++++ or something crazy where they just don't ever get hit and dodfge every attack....granted they have maxed gear, and still prevent a secondary king form appearing, and THAT will be the difficulty for this no upgrade version, but I still think that with all the boosting, 4 kings may be doable solo, definitely it can be done with two SL1 no upgrade guys that know what theyare doing...unlike witch beatrice...what a wildcard she is!!!! Teh last time I did 4 kings with a summon that knew what he was doing we sata round for like 15 seconds waiting for the next king to come each was done so fast...so if there is way to boost the power (PW, DC, BDR) and melt the kings with pyro such taht it offsets the low damage...then two players using simlar gear will crush them in similar fashion to those that use a lightning weapon wioth no buffs. No?

edit: i gotta stop thinking I can bring the sanctus to the O &S fight..I can't and must place the vessle before fighting Leroy..keep forgetting!!!
I'm thinking about making a magical archer for my next build. Basically a very long-range based character that using almost exclusively magic and bows.
What's the best bow if I'm not going to put much into DEX? Composite and Darkmoon I guess.
I admit the stats bonuses kind of confuse me - looking at the wiki and the stats bonuses give a letter grade, but how does that translate into actually power - since magical weapons kind of suck in this game, is it worth making a magic weapon if it gives a A or S buff from magic, or is it still better to go with say, +14, lightning or chaos because these often give the highest base damage before stat bonuses? How many lvl points do you have to plow into INT before you start seeing the benefits from a A or S grade stat boost. My head hurts!
Yeah its pretty tough to figure out all the differences..its not like you can upgrade both ways and just test the damage easily.....my experience with this kind of character is that you won't use darkmoon, as it is too weighted toward faith, you proly won't use black bow of pharis as it requres 40 faith to beat out the longbow (although I think it may be better than a longbow for distance if you go elemental..maybe not.) I have had firebows of all sorts and never actaully made a lightning bow as I reserve the lightning avelyn fo rthat niche....never used the composite bow for whatever reason.....akways hated the drop in range.....might have been a mistake....and I never did the magic or enchantged bow, but this is intriguing as you can stack the moonluight arrows and as the previous poster mentioned, get the most magic damage all in one shot with only the one resistance carrying most of your blow...worth trying I think. Don't forget the dragonslayer great bow...it requires 20/20 but I think it can be two hadned at 15-16 STR?????
No. You have to go to a bonfire and use that humanity point to reverse hollow. You can tell you're human if you don't look like a zombie
Beaten.
I've relatively new to the game as well. Is there any way to farm humanity? I'm always dying and losing my points lol
fucking bullshit i finally found humanity and was about to summon the NPC and i was invaded and killed.
fuck this shit. now I have to go find humanity again.
Yeah always farm a tonne of humanity beofre going into a situation where you may lose it...I also make sure ot have some stored in my inventory unused just for the situation you mentioned..it happens....but can be minimized by summoning help right away after getting human or going straight to the boss door without dawdling.
HOw to farm? Just help on bosses is the best/most fun if not fastest. ANy rats will drop but you should already have a couipl in your meter for the rats on teh bridge...the three of them drop one or two max only ever 3-5 runs. THe best spot for me is The depths as it is also a summon spot for gaping....invaders know this also and farm farmers so expect a few invasions if you do it human...but no need to...there are also a lot of invader farmers that hang out there as well...kinda one big farmers market I guess?? I ahve gotten 20 humaity in about 30 minutes most times doing my little route that gets them ALL with serpent ring and 8-10 humanity in the bar (usually 2-4 per run). One or two times I got blanked, and one or two times I got 4, but average is 2-3. 410 is the max item discovery rating, so if you are lower thatn that the mimic head thing supposedfly helps (but doesn't show in the stats) but the ring is 200 on its own....even having 1 humanity in teh metre by utself seems to increase the discovery by 100% though from having nothing.
Other options are the weird octopus monsters in DUkes - 1-2 per run, and the babies in TOTG, but the babies stink...thier humnity flashes up but if you dont get it fast enough it disappears...I find it to stationary, annoying and tedious. Depths is my favourite although you will get more souls in Dukes albeit less humanity.
