Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition |OT| Durante Does In 23 Minutes What From Can't
- Thread starter indigo-cyclops
- Start date
I'm SL 53 in the new stuff and trying to
. But I think I'm too low-leveled for people around my range to help with that boss so I'm pulling a bit of a dick move. I'm summoning people waiting to co-op for
then leading them off to where I need them.
It's not going well. It's not going well at all.

Turn off AntiAliasing in the games setting menu. Enjoy.
Turn of the in-game anti-aliasing option.

You didn't read the README.txt
Turn off in-game AA.

This is because you've pirated 95% of the game. You have to buy the whole game.
It's not bad but Iron Round Shield is better for a medium shield, and Eagle Shield is better as a great shield.

Im like a level 22 pyro and I just broke a controller on the big black headless dude under the blacksmith.... Where is a good place to grind and or some good armor to get. Or just tips in general....
What headless dude? There isn't a headless dude IIRC. Do you mean the demon with the staff and tail? It's easy, stay close and behind him.

Someone should change the title of the two Dark Souls topics. Seriously.
You'll find an NPC that absolves your sins for a price, but it's a bit of time from Undead Burg. Like... two boss fights away.
Just to make sure that I have Dark Souls backed up correctly with GameSave Manager.
Here is my directory:
%Documents%\NBGI\DarkSouls\Kiss The Blade
Any registry entries for me to put into it?
After you defeat the boss in that area you go back down the ladder and you can absolve your sins toward NPCs, just run away from the merchant for now.

You could always try another weapon for variety. Or magic/pyro, aka ezmode.

I'll definitely give another build a try next time. Probably a dagger assassin build so I can be super fast. I was loving the dark wood grain ring on my current build but this will free up a ring slot so I don't have to use harvels. I'm going to avoid magics though, you're definitely right on that remark about it making the game easy. I might run some of the heal ones if anything.
Edit: Building, planning, and making characters is the best part of the souls series for me. I had every build imaginable on Demon Souls, and I hardly ever finished a run through on that one either.

I'm trying to summon someone for the first time. You guys weren't kidding. Summon Failed, Summon Failed, Summon Failed. There's like 10 summon signs on the ground at any give moment but it just won't work.
Has Namco or From acknowledged that this port exists since it has been released?

I don't like it.
The controls suck. The animations prevent you from blocking when you accidentally drink a flask because every other melee game on Earth uses the x button for melee. I get that dying a lot is supposed to be the charm, but I've just spent an hour on the tutorial and I can't block / perry for shit and I drink all of my flasks when I don't need them, then I need them after the animation that can't be cancelled almost kills me. Ugh. I'll try again sometime when I have more scotch, but as of now this goes way down my backlog list.
Do you ever get used to the controls? I haven't tried, but can I remap the controls?

It all makes sense once you get used to it.
Though I'm still not fond of the analog stick tilt + should button maneuver. I don't always kick an enemy when I need it.

I came to the message about kicking and couldn't for the life of me make the guy do it.
Alright thanks, I'm still getting used to the game and was worried I screwed myself over some how.
Some of the notes are really mean. I found one that told me to fall to get an item and I ended up falling into a Black Knight. I thought running to the bonfire would leash him, but no. Thankfully he reset after I died.
Didn't know people were this inflexible to a control scheme, but it might help to think in terms of Left Hand weapons and Right Hand weapons.
L1/L2 does left hand main action and secondary action, R1/R2 does right hand main action and secondary action. Don't even think about the face buttons other than the roll button
Jerk/snap the stick up while clicking R1/right bumper(?).
Sometimes I press square by accident too and drink a flask. Just keep at it and your mind will get used what is right and wrong. Play the game long enough and you will master the controls and the *shudders* move queuing. It has a pretty low barrier of entry compared to other games out there (AKA fighting games).

Good lord guys! I was hearing how amazing this game was since Demon's Souls, but it even managed to destroy my expectations...
It takes a while to click, but when it does, oh.my.god!
My only regret was not playing this before. As soon as I finish this I WILL buy or borrow a PS3 just to play Demon's.
My backlog is insane ( Darksiders 2, Sleeping Dogs even God Hand, which is beyond amazing too) but all that will have to wait.
GOTY.

Agreed, I'm so glad they ported it to PC. It wasn't that great a job, but it runs great for me, and using a controller and Durante's fix negates the other issues with the port.
When did it click for you? It started for me right after the Gargoyle fight.

The exact part was when I killed that metal boar leading him to the fire. I felt so good and confident I start killing everything in one try, including the Gargoyles and that lighting demon before Blackroot Garden. I was killed by the Moonlight Buterfly, yet it was fun... and after dying 7 times, it was still fun!

O&S Defeated. I kind of feel bad because they were the only bosses I didn't solo on the PS3 version and this time around I didn't even try. I summoned someone right away but I really just wanted to move along. I preordered Guild Wars 2 and I haven't touched it yet. Too many games right now.

You can only get so angry at bosses that save your progress.
Don't even get me started. Easily the worst fight in the game.
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
but you dont even have to fight him its all dodging easiest fight in the game
lol definitely not the easiest fight in the game. For instance, you don't take her down in one go. Impossible!!!
Knocking out her left and right side is no problem.. getting to her center area is pretty difficult.
Easiest fight in the game.. like the other guys saying 4 Kings is the easiest fight in the game.
What fight did you find difficult??

I swear. I've beat this game 4 times now (3 on PS3) and this boss is without a doubt the most frustrating.
