Make it a double battle with Sif's ghost as well ;_;

So... killing
is bullshit. He's there
? Is that more or less the story here? Did I miss something
But yeah, fuck that shit
Sif
guarding the grave of his comrade and partner who ended up dying (or becoming possessed) trying to defend another land and you run in and murder him for a shitty ring
But yeah, fuck that shit
You will need that later. Can't finish the game without it.
Artorias riding Sif, and since Artorias would have his sword, Sif would
have Ornestein and Smough in his mouth swinging them around.
Edit: So I'm loving the game and all, but one thing just really feels off with the world, and that's npc's. The whole kingdom of Lordran is basically one big pit of death, yet we have straggler npc's just peppered throughout living in peace and harmony in areas that are incredibly dangerous. I can understand npc's chillin' out at firelink, but the one's elsewhere are out of place I guess.

I understand that. I'm not complaining about the boss fight itself, but the motivation for being there and killing him story wise.
Crystal +4 weapons are more powerful than +15 weapons, and don't need a slab. You could stock up on chunks, and buy a few Demon Great Machetes from Shiva. Upgrade one to Crystal +2 or +3 and then to +4 when the durability gets low, and then after the +4 breaks make another.
Raw is the truly useless weapon path.
When you get to learning about the lore, the player turns out to be a pretty big asshole. lol
It's more of a captain goes down with the ship, sort of deal. There is a lot of power in that ring (story spoilers)
His owner watched over the abyss for years, even being corrupted by it. His companion sif was all that he had left in "that world" and he wanted sif to get out. Sif just wants to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Putting him down is bittersweet because it's like "damn he went through all of that? and now i have to put him down" but at the same time it was best to allow him to finally "move on" and deal with the abyss yourself.
edit: this is probably one of the few times the player being an asshole makes sense storyline wise.
I guess. Seems more stable to just level one weapon and keep it.
I totally agree for Crystal Weapons. They became my favorite upgrade path since my first NG+2.
But I don't agree with your statement regarding Raw weapons. Sure, they are worthless for a long run, but they very are useful pre-Anor Londo. For example a raw Long Sword+5 does more damage than Long Sword+10 with just the required stats.

IMO, the player as a nice guy only works if you roleplay that he's totally naive and oblivious the whole time. If he actually knows what he's doing (
and after talking to Kaathe and visiting Oolacile he has no excuse not to
tyrant willing to cover the world in darkness for the promise of power
aider and abetter of a corrupt religion that's determined to use you and people like you as kindling for eternity

Man why do people make such a fuss about blighttown when Tomb of the Giants exists?
This place is the worst. Can't see 5 feet infront of you w/o a lantern, ledges everywhere, unavoidable drop before the boss that takes off 50% if your health. I lost my souls once in there, and I was more annoyed at having to do it again than losing 70k souls, at Least the boss was a pushover.

thanks for this, I'm still piecing together the story. The whole thing still feels slimy to me, the player is definitely an asshole here.
BTW, anyone on 360 around SL 85 want to help me with Artorias? The fight is awesome but my build isn't really set up to be very effective against him. I'm summoned constantly in that area but never see any summon signs myself
Wait, you haven't beaten the game yet? You've got most of it but there's a little bit more to it and the cutscene that plays when you fight Sif changes if you've done most of the DLC beforehand.
Here's a link to all of VaatiVidya's lore videos, the Sif stuff is in the Artorias video:

Obviously heavy spoilers for all of the game.

Nope haven't finished yet, working on the DLC now.

That dude rarely put his tail down lol.
I far more easy if anyone help you tanking him.
YESS I GOT IT! FUCK YOU KALAMEET!
The funny thing is that by spending the past 45 minutes trying to get his tail, I've pretty much memorised his moveset. Killing him should be a piece of cake now.
I know; I tried for 3 playthroughs before giving up. Hoping one kind soul here would donate the sword

nice. I helped beat him twice as a summon and managed to get his tail off but its been impossible to do in my game.
Its crazy how addicted I've become to watching Let's Play videos on YouTube for players starting the game and going through undead parish. Watching the reactions of new players to asylum demon or taurus demon never gets old, hahaha
My sentiments exactly! I love to watch streams of blind playthroughs. It's like reliving Dark Souls vicariously through others. Tons of fun. This game is just magical. Jeez I sound like a rapid fanboy lol.
Running into a fair few cheaters while I'm invading the last few weeks, but just got some sweet revenge on one Invaded a dude and encountered him where you meet your first armored tusk after the sunlight alter. Looked a new player so I hit him a few times with my bare fist and didn't do a single point of damage. Switched to pyromancy, again no damage. Lured him up the stairs and got his back to the ledge, just kept hitting him with black flame and he was stun locked all the way over

I would be totally down for The Lord of Sunlight being the final boss.

If you really want to get depressed,
Free Sif in the DLC before you kill him in the main story. You get a slightly different intro video that will make you want to cry in a corner for a while...

if you beat the DLC first? That's super impressive.

Haha love how Tarkus is smoking and Artorias and Smough just stick their heads in.
Can anyone trade me:
-Soul of Sif (or uncursed Artorias Greatsword)
-White Slab (or +10 Magic weapon)
-Blue Slab (or +10 occult weapon)
I'm so close to the platinum but I don't want to do another playthrough
I would if you were on 360
I'm level 82 and I need four more Sunlight Medals to hit level 1 with the Warrior of Sunlight covenant. Playing on PC. I've put down summon signs outside of Seath's room and Four Kings but I haven't been summoned yet.
Should I just finish the attunement in NG+? I think I might be too high level to be summoned.

Not sure if those are really good spots, especially not 4k. From my exp, if you want Seath do the main bonfire. Though, totg and Bed of Chaos are much more frequent. Could even try o&s or last boss.
well, he is at least only using one.
the other seems to be hurt.
and afaik dark souls 2 takes place 1000(s of) years after part 1, so..

New Londo is the only place where they have a chance to drop. It's a really low chance though, I've only gotten one drop after like 50 chunks and dozens of Dark Hands.
I see, time to farm!
I'll try Bed of Chaos later I guess. I hate Tomb of the Giants. I didn't have any luck at O&S. Figured I was too high level but maybe I'll try longer.
