No ill effect's you just harvest their humanity as they still live. How much you get depends on who you harvest.

Dark Souls |OT5| Definitely better than the sequel
- Thread starter Dresden
- Start date
Yes heavy STR weapons are fun, and you don't have to always use smaller weapons 2 handed, but if you are trying to constrain your level, then 27 STR is the way to do that.
Ring of Sun's Firstborn acts similarly to the Bellowing Dragoncrest ring for Faith. The Dusk Crown boosts all forms of magic, not just sorcery, so Faith, Pyro, Dark Magic and Sorcery all get buffed by it.

Who is the real monster now
Well, there is a context in that world, being undead is a form of curse which makes you lose your sanity little by little and finally sucumb to the curse and becomes wild attacking everything you see and the only way to prevent a fully hollowfication is consuming souls which makes you a danger for everyone around you.
When someone becames undead (there is still no indication how the undead curse chose you) there is no way to cure or reverse the hollowing but you can mantain your shape by consuming humanity which means you have to kill a living not undead being
Siegmeyer comes from a land of proud warriors so when he turned hollow, knowing the fate of the undead, He travels to lordran to make a final quest for its own, the sad part
if you fully complete the quests is in fact you never let him do his final quests and take the big prize everytime you met him so he could survive long enough and turned hollow.
Her daughter comes to lordran to take a look of his father
and take him down when if he turns hollow, also she remarks you she can do the same thing to you if you want and kills you everytime the player tries to reanimates
Mostly everyone you meet in the game is undead and in the process of being hollow,
Not me...
Yeah the forest is a good idea, in fact there is a part that might have been smart to clear right before/after the gargoyles

You have to play DLC before defeating the final boss, as noted, you immediately start NG+ afterward.
Do you have a pendant in your inventory under keys?

Do the DLC before the final boss. It's really, really good, and if you don't do it now you'll have to wait until NG+, or start a new character.
The method for getting to the DLC is kind of a pain:
- Make sure you've freed Dusk. She can be found by killing the Golem after the Hydra in Darkroot Basin
- Go to the Duke's Archives and kill that Golem that's sitting in the corner
- Go back to where you rescued Dusk. There should now be a portal to enter
Is it related to Dusk of Oolacile (the well mannered woman)? I had bought some magic scrolls from her. Will try to meet her then.

If you have the pendant, go to the cave where you rescued her...
Yep it is you just need the pendant now and you can start.
I don't see a pendant in my inventory.. How to get that?
I had killed that golem before I purchased the dlc. Is that y I didn't get yet? Anyways trying again.

That golem wasn't there before you purchased the DLC.
If it was there and it didn't drop the pendant, it's because you hadn't rescued Dusk and talked to her yet.

It respawn everytime you reset the area with 100% drop when you get the DLC
You are talking about the Golem who is standing at the table as soon as I enter Duke's Archives. I had saved Dusk of Oolacile early in the game.
I killed him again, but no pendant...

Make sure you check the keys section of your inventory.

This, its a key item not a consumable one, it reacts by its own so you dont have to do nothing to trigger it..
Cool. I'll knock that out next I guess. BTW, should I finally get around to purchasing that item from the blacksmith if I'm heading that way?
Also decided to put in a little more time tonight, so I finally revisited the Undead Asylum. And man, that's a bit of a pain to get to. Feels almost like you're sequence breaking or something just to get up to that nest. But either way, I got that done with. Is it worth going back to do the Painted World or whatever stuff at some point now that I can, btw?
Damn, I think I figured out what's wrong. My disc is a US copy (checked the playasia link) and the account through which I purchased dlc is EU account.
I wasted 15$.
DLC from different region won't work right?
Phalanx soul farming is worth going back to the painted world. Fastest method of getting souls fast with the soul farming gear.

What's the fun in that?
Hey everyone, new player here fresh from Demon's. I'm liking the game so far, but it feels so weird to be weak again.
What I mean is, I'm stuck at Taurus Demon right at the beginning of the game. Heh. I feel even for a first boss I'm doing too little damage. Maybe I'm not going to the right place? Or is the game that much tougher than Demon's?

Crown of Dusk and Ring of the Sun's Firstborn is all what you need.

You're in the right place. I still haven't played Demon's Souls, so I can't tell how it compares to that in early game difficulty. (I still really, really want to play DeS, just need a PS3...)
What weapon are you using?
SeventhSon

Did you learn how to do the plunging attack in the tutorial?
Try plunging attacking him.
Use the Gold Pine Resin you can find earlier in Undead Burg and he will go down in seconds.
I just beat it pretty easily. Admittedly I was overpowered, but the same principal should still apply. It telegraphs the blast thing really obviously (I think it puts down the hammer vertically) so just start backing up when you see that coming. Other than that just stay close unless he tries to sit on you, and he won't even hit you.

What's the fun in killing easy trash mob over and over?
Based on that logic why not just give yourself end game equipment from the beginning?
If you feel you are too slow what's your equip load? Swap your crest shield for a blader shield or a kite shield.

Hmm? the dlc can be shared if you downloaded the content on your console or you can wait till DS becomes free in games of gold the next month i think to be in the same region as your dlc
You aren't underleveled, but your weapon is pretty weak. It does have bleed though, so you should try to bleed it out over and over, which is tricky because of the AoE's and such. If you are getting close to beating it and confident, keep going at it and you'll get it eventually. If not, no shame in coming back later when your weapon is a bit more upgraded.

im going to call it bullshit if you have never used black knight weapons when they drop from begging of the game.
Who doesn't like being overpowered?
I thought you could do that without a game clear already? X-X!V''Q I mean not that I've played symphony of the night in years.
Crest shield, morningstar+3, and elite knight set. I'm using the shield for defense against the fire attack and the morningstar does bleed damage every 3 hits
I saw a guy do it with that gear, I think he did it earlier in the game, but he managed easily. I'm gonna give it another go, I feel I wasn't paying enough attention to his telegraphs
That's equipment not equip load. Not got a dragon crest shield for its higher fire resistance?

I think it was a terrible idea to get rid of the producer for the sequel. I was so excited for DS2 but once I heard about the changes I lost interest.
Same recipe different chef.

I hate mimics in all games.... -____-
Made some slight progress. Got through Sen's Fortress and finally made it to Anor Londo.
My Longsword is at +10
Divine uchi is at +2
Thinking about making a magic weapon since my int is near 27.

Did you buy the spells from the friend you can save in sens?
Also I would recommend beating the catacombs if you can, it's boss has a great reward that will help in Anor, and your weapon can handle it now.

Yea. I beat the catacombs and left the area when I got to the tomb of the giants.
I haven't gone back to firelink yet. I really didn't feel like making the journey through Sens again. Might just do it anyways, before I get the Lord Vessel.
I have not used a single boss soul yet. I guess I'll be running into the blacksmith whom can use them, soon?

Send has a shortcut, if you found a key while exploring near it's merchant.
Thanks. Took a few tries but I did it.
Okay, so I pushed through up to the Gargoyles. They're don't seem to be very hard. I'll try tomorrow.
I'm playing on my PS3. 360 died a month ago.
You need to upgrade a weapon to plus ten before you can ascend it to a boss weapon.
