In New London Ruins the only way to summon someone it is if u flush the water?
Anyone know if crescent axe gets much better from 40->50FAI? 40->43 would only increase the AR by a couple of points. Seems to hit pretty hard, but I'm surprised the AR is only like 480 or so with 40 faith. I only have enough STR to two hand it though. And what's the best talisman? I'm bugged out of the sunlight covenant miracles and I'm not using dark moon blade, currently have WOG and gravelord greatsword dance attuned.
I come to the conclusion that I really suck at this game. I'm at the beginning where you go through the light and the fat demon smashes the balcony and fall. Yeah. Can't get pass that part. Encountering normal enemies is a huge risk. This game really is no joke.
I think it would have been a cool touch if killing the blacksmiths and having their respective hammers allowed you to modify your equipment the same way they were able to.
Sounds interesting, but what then would be a penalty for actually killing the blacksmith?
Thorolund is best for low faith, Canvas is the best for medium Faith, Ivory and Sunlight are very good for High faith, and then Darkmoon is the best for High faith.
Also Faith scaling for weapons is pretty ass, I think scaling for all skills gets pretty terrible after 40.
You are better off making a weapon Normal +15 then buffing it with Sunlight Blade or Darkmoon Blade, at 50 Faith the buff will up the damage by ~400 points. Elemental weapons aren't very good for 120 level PvP because everyone has high resistances, so you wont get the damage that you'd expect.I figured, this is my first faith character so I thought I'd try out faith weapons which I never used before. I like the crescent axe despite its relative weakness though. I guess if I bring this guy to 120 for pvp i'll probably wind up using a chaos/lightning weapon though. A shame, i loved the meat cleaver in Demons Souls, that has awesome faith scaling.
I need some PVP tips, I just can't seem to kill people very often on PS3.
If i'm not getting lagstab to death then people are using DWGR and spamming Wraith of the gods. Game alot of fun but it would be better if I didn't get owned during PvP.

True, dismissed darkmoon blade because I already killed gwyndolin, forgot about sunlight blade. I'm sure a +15DGM with sunlight blade will wreck shit..need a ton more STR.
Woot! I found an easy way to take down the great armors with two Great Lightning Spears each, so I farmed them until I had all the titanite chunks I need. Now at +5 Lightning Great Scythe.
So I went into Duke's Archives and promptly got stomped to death by the boar. Oh joy.
I remember going back to the Archives on my ng++, having sailed through ng+ super easily... only to get stabbed and killed by one of the local grunts on my way to a chest. That taught me.
Also, great scythe is a great choice. I took mine to +15 and it never disappointed: great reach, great moves set, and the forward+R2 is the bane of almost every monster in the game.
You only need 27 STR to 2H the DGM, and it's only worth 2H. You will get about 1050 damage with a +15 DGM and Sunlight blade, and about 1100 with DMB at Rank 3, with Faith at 50 with Darkmoon Talisman.
Sadly in PvP you are going to have to deal with high defense, high poise ninja flip builds. It is the most viable way to PvP in Dark Souls, and the Poise system along with the DWGR allows it to be exploited, so everyone that is serious about PvP is going to use it.

Disappointed that I didn't make much progress today. The Scaleless Dragon cursed me so I had to backtrack to get the purging stone from the dude at the top of the parish.
I finally beat the hydra though, which turned out to be pretty easy once you realize his simple pattern. Surprised that I didn't get any souls though.
I'm also thinking about switching my Zweinhander for a bit to a Ice Halberd (Attack: 262). It seemed to be faster, which is going to be pretty useful to stab the dragon after his attack animation and then run away.
Where do you get a very large amber? My Zwein is currently at +10 and I don't have any weapons stronger than that (other than the Dragon Tooth which seems very slow for my tastes).
Giant blacksmith in Anor Londo? I haven't found him. I also don't know what to do in New Londo since I remember getting slaughtered by a bunch of ghosts.
Not sure what you mean, but I'll give you a quick rundown of those two Forest Protector dudes:Does Shiva's bodyguard relocate after you've joined and been banished from the covenant? Or is the ghost ninja still the right of her little hut?
At the +10 you have the zwei, you can bring it to Lightning Zweihander at the giant blacksmith in anor londo. I recommend this, a lightning zwei is a great weapon (pretty common in pvp too). It will stop scaling with strength after this, but I'm sure you will see a big damage boost. The very large ember is in new londo ruins, once it's drained. But a +15 zweihander would only be better than a lightning +5 (you can upgrade more it once you make it lightning) if you have very high strength - don't know the numbers but it's a rule of thumb.
Hit over a million souls earlier today. So scared im going to fuck up and lose all of them. Im just having too much fun at sl 60 that i dont want to level.
Thinking about starting a new build soon too. was thinking either a straight smough clone or a high vit/armor/resistance build with elemental weapons

I'm a pyro at lvl60 I'm using a lighting ushigatana +15
is a right choice or should i change for other weapon?
Hi guys, been a while since I was in this thread! Basically, I haven't picked up Dark Souls since completing it at release, I was wondering if they had improved the netcode at all? Is it easier to summon/pvp than it was on release?
Played a bit over the weekend, just advancing further with a NG+ character. And turns out there's a bit of a hotbed of PvP activity right before Centipede Demon's door. My character is SL99, and I had no problems constantly invading and being constantly invaded, and there were red signs as well to call people in. And everyone was well behaved, waiting before the door and fighting full melee.
I've never PvPed around this SL (always kept my characters below SL80) and it was good fun. I'd say I lost the majority of the fights, but at least most of the time both of us were down to a 1-hit for the win. Gotta better myself though.
I already parked the character @ The Kiln, and I'll stay there for a while -- farming chunks, raising to SL115 and trying different PvP weapons & equipment builds (character has less VIT then appropriate, but high END/STR/DEX so I can switch around a lot of things). Only PvPed at the Kiln last year, when I got to Gwyn the very first time and the experience was a combination of the occasional pair of funky folks waiting to gang you up & regular people looking for a fair fight, with more of the latter. How's the behaviour of people waiting there these days and around that SL? I'll move to another place if it's all bad manners.
You actually could have saved yourself a lot of time; the clams in the room right before Seath drop purging stones sometimes.
If by ice halberd you mean crystal halberd, I wouldn't bother. 1 - you can pick up a free crystal halberd in anor londo, and 2 - you cannot repair crystal weapons. You can use it for the time being but you won't be able to repair it. Also, you could and probably should have a weapon that has a greater AR than 262 by the time you're at Seath. I'd upgrade your Zwei to lightning, or take it to +15 if you have the very large ember and lots of strength.
If you're never going to level again.....it doesn't matter if you lose all your souls isn't it?
There's still lots of laggy backstabs, but being able to summon/pvp was definitely made better with the last patch. Especially summoning, you'll see lots of signs now. Humanity is also a bit more common since the patch.
Lots of people playing fair but still lots of assholes in Kiln. You'll find that everywhere, but I find that Undead Burg around 120 is definitely the best place for pvp. I need to try the door near centipedes still..
Last night someone summoned me via red soapstone in painted world. I walk up the stairs, they're hiding using chameleon as a barrel, I proceed to get backstabbed. It was kinda funny but what a jerk.
well i do plan to take it to 80 for some more pvp than after i get bored of 80 end it at 125. ppl prob jump for joy when i die when they beat me in battle and get my mass amount of souls.
It doesn't work that way. Souls are given based on your level. If you are an invader and a host kills you, he gets half the souls required for you to level up. If you get killed by an invader he gets 10% of the souls you need to level. Co op phantoms get half of whatever the host gets.

The lightning spear is great, I still use it and I upgraded it to +5. You can find it inEDIT: Hey Guevara, we've got very similar characters!
Well, just like Demon's Souls, after putting around 50 hours into the game I decided to start over. I had made mistakes and decisions I wasn't happy with (and who could blame me for killing that disgusting pyro trainer! Eggs! Gross!)
The result is so much better! I picked a soldier who is concentrating on Str, Dex, Vit, and End. At Level 38 I have 21, 21, 20, 20 and I will probably just continue on like that until they are all at 30 or so.
No magic, just pure weapons! It's how I mostly play anyway. The Int and Faith scaling doesn't seem worth it so I will content myself with purely physical means. Drake sword served me well for a while but then I found the Black Knight Sword and brought it up to +2 with twinkling titanite. That thing is a beast! Over 350 damage so early.
What I'm curious about now is what are the non-unique magic weapons you can find in the game. I hear there is a Lightning Spear of some kind. Are there other weapon ready to find like Flame, Magic, or Divine?
