My friends and I never had a problem on the 360. I co-oped the full game with a few people thanks to the glorious "Join Session in Progress" trick on the 360. Sorry to hear that the PS3 doesn't have that same trick.
Trying to join up was a nightmare before we figured out the trick.zephervack

Is there any way to use an offline save file online?

I have a 5770 as well. With my current rig, and the patch running at 2880x1620. It runs very well, and only slows around the same places as the console version. I, however, love the difference in how it looks. Then again, it might just be me. =p

You mean completely offline?
Xlive less, I havent used it though, not sure what would happen to your online saves.
Good points....that weapon can be two handed, but I think you figured out that you don't have to hit the listed str total if you two hand...as 27 is pretty low for a tank weapon like that. So also goign with sorcery....make sure to consider focusing more on INT than the str..36 str allows you to 2-hdn all weapons in the game IIRC....but with DGM only costing 27 that gives you a shot at 50 int for
white dragon breath.
crystal homing soulmass, the spears etc.
there is a special weapon for magic users that trumps your DGM...and costs only 20 or so str. it is found later in the game usually though and scales with INT.....
No dice. I don't see a solution. Windows installer still refuses to finish, this better not become a waste of $40.
In
Sen's Fortress, you have to solve a puzzle with the boulders.
The ring is the
Covetous Gold Serpent Ring
I really dislike that weapons moveset.
Right, I chose this one because I found you can get it fairly early in the game by utilizing the master key to shortcut to most places, so I can enjoy playing with it against the bosses and such. I don't plan on doing any pvp, I always just play the soul games pve. I'm not sure how much Int I'm going to run yet. I might just get enough for HSM since I can cast and forget.
Is it the same as zweinhander? I know it has the jump stab, is it hard to hit with that? I'd be willing to consider other alternatives like the
great axe, demons great axe, demons great hammer since they all have ~640 maxed damage
final goading to get you to pump your INT:
arguably one of the best swords (FROM's signature aptly named sword in all their games...even Armoured core 5 draws referndce to it) in the souls series awaits
being able to emulate a boss with
white dragon breath (minus the curse effect)
Who knows. I looked at it and it's definitely a cool spell. That's many hours of gameplay away before I can get it so I can still get some feel for my build. I haven't even beaten the game yet so I don't know too much if this [big weapon build] is going to end up sucking really bad.
Ah! that one it's been a while since my ps3 playthroughs
Just get a claymore, zweihander or greatsword and upgrade it as you want.

Black Knight Greatsword easily takes you through the game, but if anything it's overpowered. Rather low chance to drop though.
I'm eyeing the two new greatswords from the DLC, unfortunately I missed both on this character.

Black Knight Greatsword of course, even though it would be an ult. greatsword then. I'm still switching between those two since the normal one is a little bit faster and if both need 2hits to kill, faster is better.

can greatswords (2H only right?) block or parry?

I've really been taking my time with this play through, helping a lot of people get past bosses. I've wanted to replay the game for quite awhile now but I was waiting for this release. Last night I was just about to enter Sen's Fortress, which is one of my favorite levels in the game. I can't wait to get off work to jump back in.
I think I'm going to start over as a STR/INT dude and rush to the new content again. It doesn't seem to have much new to offer for fai/dex build.
Unless Ciaran's daggers are any good, which they don't seem to be
You can use them one handed if you meet the STR requirement. You can block some damage with it 2H.

Yeah, I've been using that Black Knight Greatsword for quite awhile now and it's working great. I never got it when I played the console version.

Right before some boss fights you'll see a glow on the ground nearby that is his sign for summoning him. I guess you should if you want the boss fights to go by a little easier. He can't help with all of them.
Where are you? If you're at the
Bell Gargoyles, his summon sign is right near the fog door to where you fight them. You have to be in human form to see the summon sign and to summon him though. Should you? If you're having a lot of trouble with the boss. But be warned: he makes that boss really easy. There's also another NPC in that church that you can find and I think you can summon him for that battle. He's in gold armor.

You have to be human and unless you see real players around that are available, it doesn't hurt in the least.

lol thanks. I'm just afraid he'll die
I've summoned him every chance I get and he's never even come close to losing half his health.
lol thanks. I'm just afraid he'll die
Oh, you're in for a treat if you summon him!
Crap, I killed the person in the gold armor. Did he have any significance? Read one of those messages on the ground that he was a liar...

There's a sidequest involving him.
You made the right decision.
I imagine if I die after summoning him he still lives, right? I just love that guy lol.
Summoned phantoms don't die permanently, no worries.

He will not die permanently if you summon him to fight a boss.
one day earlier and I wouldn't have had ot start over after 30 hours.....whatever you guys don't killhe is glitched in the pc version and does not drop the goods like normal.....no water removal=no boss, no end boss, no +15 weapons.ingward in new londo for the Dam
That's really unfortunate. I had no problem at all.
Still useless. 2 HP per however long it takes.
You saved yourself a huge headache.
So now that I've gotten more comfortable with the controls (though I'm not comfortable with parrying), I'm finding the Black Knights a cakewalk -- pyromancy, block, block, block, look for backstabs. Took down three of them really easily.
I'm switching up between the Estoc +5 and the Claymore +5 depending on whether I can get backstabs into the enemy. Both are great weapons.

Hi guys, I am wondering if anyone can give me some good advice on a build...
I want a really strong build for both PVP and PVE as I am not a fan of making multiple chars and replaying the game over and over with different chars. I would like to make one strong char and take him to NG+ and maybe NG++.
My char is currently SL ~55:
Here are the stats:
vit: 25
end: 20
str:16
Dex: 34
Int: base
Faith: base
I want to max out my dex to 40(I am a dex build) and then invest into other attributes from there. I am trying to decide what I should do in regards to Sorcery or Miracles. I am a Pyro right now, but I know that it does not really cut it for PVP later on.
Option 1: Invest in INT
As a sorcerer with 25int, I could use Crystal Magic Weapon and do insane damage with a DEX based +15 weapon. There may be other useful sorceries as well for PVP and PVE.
Option 2: Invest in Faith
If you get your faith to 30, you can become ridiculous in PVP. Casting spells like Tranquil Walk of Peace, Wrath of the Gods, Vow of silence will gimp the opposition completely.
I am thinking that Faith is very overpowered...even at 18 with TWOP. Can anyone give me some advice/input? Thanks!

You get the item later when you are in
the swamp, there is an occult club in the game as well
