sounds way more fun than having to go back down in the unepic trash-hole that was Blighttown. But I guess I deserve it, lol. At least I found a Firekeeper Soul on my way down that I missed going up, so yeay
Nearing 40 hours of playtime, how are you holding up time-wise Morfeo?

I dont want to talk about it (about 90)
Its been on for all evenings for the last month more or less, but I would guess effective playtime is something like 50? I would also guess your time is inflated considering how far you are.Did you get the dragons tail drop?

There is a titanite slab somewhere and its a great zone for dragon scales or curse stones and a dragon weapon
Dammit! Is it worth going down again for it?
Got a few dragon scales and a titanite slab yeah. The dragon weapon, unfortunately not

The dragon tail drop is only worth it for trophy/achievment.
Ok, not worth it then
Edit: Just found out that I could warp down, so I now have another dragon weapon (thanks to a guide). I guess its the completionist in me playing.

You're put in prison. (You're supposed to die there)
Test subject for
Got invaded by someone as soon as I stepped through the to the Depths through the Lower Undead Burg, and I immediately ran back up the steps and waited for him with my Obsidian Greatsword. As soon as he got to the top he stopped to buff his weapon, and I was tucked behind the door and the bam, did my two handed AoE attack. Knocked him down of course, and then finished him off with a good two handed strike. Felt soo good.

I've only been invaded twice, but I think those were NPCs? Red characters, one in the depths and one in Blighttown
Speaking of which, I need to return to that hellhole today
edit: the bitch is dead
side question: is it worth spending 20k on the crest-key thing that Andrei has?
Should I go into the Demon Ruins, or perhaps try to follow the story for once? I'll try the latter
edit2: at Sen's fortress, playing a Indiana Jones game
edit3: lol

NPC phantoms are in both those locations, so it probably was those. They drop unique loot and one of them (the one in the Depths) has a little bit of questline, so it's always worth killing NPC invaders.
Yes to spending the 20k on the crest of Astoria. (Not essential if you go the other way in, but it makes things a lot easier so why not).
Demon Ruins - yes if you have the lord vessel (sounds like you're not that far along yet), no otherwise - unless you just want a nosey around and to grab loot, but you can't progress further that way until you get further into the game - so if you go down there, remember if you sit at a bonfire you'll have to make your way back out (don't sit at a bonfire and you can just homebone out).

Hmm, should I save Tit Chunks to upgrade my Claymore past +10 when eligible, or immediately upgrade the lightning spear. @sen's fortress bonfire
I'm so glad you weren't spoiled about that bad boy.
That thing made me go OCD about checking every chest for the rest of my first playthrough.
Chances are that you won't be able to upgrade your Claymore for the next few hours at least, so upgrading the lightning spear won't hurt

So I should probably have killed the fire bomb throwing giant before taking on the Iron Golem
If you're investing at all into STR or DEX don't bother about the lightning spear, the +15 route is almost always the better choice so it's worth saving those chunks.

Yea. lol
One thing I dont understand in the Archives is how every new area I enter "mysteriously" seems to be connected with earlier areas I visited - but when I was at those earlier areas I wasnt able to progress that way. Is it just me, or are some strairs and corridors opening when I progress?

There's a mechanical staircase that turns to give access to different areas.
I get that, but for instance when I got down to the bonfire, I suddenly was able to go back to the start, but I was not able to get here when I entered in the start, evne though I am not using the totating staircase. At least thats what I think?

A secret door opens after you are imprisoned the first time, linking the front and back of the library.
Ok, I knew there was something different.
Anyways, I cheated a bit and read up on how to continue Logans story (might as well now that I have saved him twice), and seemed I had to buy all his magic - which costed about 200k souls. So I have been farming for an hour now, finally getting his last magic. This better be worth it!
Got any prism stones?

Or eyes. They're useful too.
Now don't be like that...
Oh.
Just place them along the path then you can see the it but all of them are pretty easy to walk along anyway once you find them.

You can also use them near to a cliff to see how deep it is, the hard it sounds the deep it is.
Next up, fully upgrade Gough's Bow, and load up on PVP essentials;
Arrows
Green Blossom
etc.
Arrows
Green Blossom
etc.
Ran into one of these for the first time ever, and he promptly killed me with a bunch of white energy missiles while I was careless casting magic from what I thought was a safe distance. Ugh. Don't know if I will ever see one again. -_-
If it makes ya feel any better, all the invisible bridges except for one are straight and quite wide
Its the not straigth that have killed me all the times, but since it was a dead end, I should now be finished with this. Boss time now!
Killed within minutes. I tried an all out attack since that generally works fine against most bosses, and I actually managed to take about 75% of his health before dying, which I guess is decent for the first try.

Anor Londo time. Fuck the Bat Wing Demons ambushing an honest joe descending down a narrow path and all that
Ran out of arrows after dying a couple of times so that sucks. Guess I need to go back to ... ehm, did the merchant in Sens Tower sell arrows?
Those guardian golems are excellent farming material though, 1500 souls for an easy win

In Anor Londo with no arrows?
Meet your new best friends...
The crestfallen merchant does sell arrows I recommend large and feathered arrow.

Yeah, for those Anor Londo dragonbow knights I'd say screw honor and poison them with arrows from about a mile away.
