Hmm, I have many places unlocked but no idea where to go: Sen's Fortress, fighting

the Wolf (doesn't seem that hard but the trip there is really long) and the Hydra (this one just kills me why I'm going down a ladder)

do you know about the secret bonfire in the forest?

 

[EasyMode]

Find out which door the basement key opens.

Hint:

Spoiler

remember where you met Solaire?

 

[zkylon]

do you know about the secret bonfire in the forest?

The one next to the first crest door? Yeah, actually now that I think about it, it's not that far away, and I only have to kill three, maybe even only two of the semi-transparent dudes...

Find out which door the basement key opens.

Hint:

Spoiler

remember where you met Solaire?

I have the feeling I already opened that one. Isn't that the one that leads to the Capra Demon? I feel like I'm gonna start drawing a map or something...

If he's already unlocked Sen's Fortress, I'm not entirely sure that he needs to be in that area.

 

[zkylon]

The basement key you get after you defeat

Spoiler

the Moonlight Butterfly

? That just opens up a shortcut that connects Darkroot Basin to the Undead Burg.

Oh, alright. That boss was ridiculously easy for me for some reason. I went there after ringing the second bell tower and I beat it on my first try.

 

[EasyMode]

If he's already unlocked Sen's Fortress, I'm not entirely sure that he needs to be in that area.

Derp, I'm confused. -_-

Maybe because there's two basement keys. The Basement Key and the Watchtower Basement Key.

 

[Ridley327]

In any case, the answer is Sen's Fortress, as that's the next major story-based area.

it's also filled with snakes you can stab. in the butt.

next to the bridge with the red drake in the undead burg next to where you meet solar. It leads to the lower undead burg.

Hope that helped :3

The fat guy's in Blighttown are probably the most satisfying butt stabs in the game, especially the one's who throw rocks.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

it's awesome how all the little choices make such a big difference. playing a magic character is like a whole other game. my latest sorc-based build just worked absolutely everything up to the capra demon without a problem but has hit a slight wall at that bastard.

on my pyro-ninja I just skipped straight over him with the master key then came back and destroyed him for the depths key after ringing both bells so I could get the ember.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition |OT| Snakes better watch their asses

when I'm around, no snake's ass is safe. they're my favourite dudes to butt-stab, with the fatties in blighttown coming in a very close second.

edit:

The fat guy's in Blighttown are probably the most satisfying butt stabs in the game, especially the one's who throw rocks.

HIGH FIVE

 

[UrbanRats]

Black Knights and Havel The Rock are generally my favorite buttstabbing victims, but i agree on the snakes.

WHAT THE FUCCCCCK

It's hard to quickly run back because of all the enemies in the way :T

I can almost make it but that last pack of dogs gets in the way.

Throw a homeward bone, it distracts them

Spoiler

Welcome to Dark Souls.


Seriously, though with Capra, get up the stairs any way possible, kill the dogs, then go after the demon

 

[Emitan]

Spoiler

I can't even get up the stairs. Fucking dogs are in the way and then Capra slices me

 

[DTKT]

How is the game if you only have a keyboard + mouse? I might buy it to play with a friend of mine, but I don't have access to a controller for now. :\

Anyone?

 

[Thagomizer]

Spoiler

Spoiler

Start rolling and don't stop until you are up the stairs. Don't even try to block or counter

 

[Emitan]

I can't. I tried that.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

it's hard to decide what's more annoying about the capra demon; the adds or the run back.

Black Knights and Havel The Rock are generally my favorite buttstabbing victims, but i agree on the snakes.

ah how could I forget those big black asses. they're also one of the first legit butt-stabs in the game.

 

[Ridley327]

I can't. I tried that.

As crazy as it sounds, you're better off running than rolling. Just make sure to go to his right than the left; the timing is such that his swing will miss you entirely, and it's safer from the dogs than going the other way. Running with a shield with high physical reduction stat (you should have one that's at least 90, if not more) is also recommended if you're that worried about the dogs.

Also helpful:

Spoiler

He's weak to fire, and those firebombs you pick up tend to have a pretty decent blast radius...

 

[MrTeachwell]

I can't. I tried that.

This took me a big chunk of yesterday afternoon. So many deaths where the dogs cornered me and Capra chopped me up. But I managed to get past them by zigzagging and only rolling to get past Capra or just before a dog landed from their pounce.

In the end all that dying turned out for the best since each time I would run back in there and retrieve my soul just before dying, by the time I finished it I had about 12,000 souls mostly from killing the guys on the way there (I was coming from firelink shrine).

Whatever you do, don't get angry and quit.

Spoiler

Just keep trying to get up those stairs and walk across, and then remember to block/quickly take out the dogs when you're up there

 

[Taruranto]

God, pursuers are so broken.

How much until they nerf them?

I went to Blighttown, entered the secret room leading to The Great Hollow, then descended all the way to Ash Lake. I'vemadeahugemistake.gif


Can you explain this? I don't know if I explored everything in Blighttown, I just killed the boss then went to Demon Ruins, killed a boss there too, then found a door I don't have the key yet went back and entered the secret room as explained above. Btw, I'm cursed :/ don't know what to do in this case



Fuu

Happened to me too, you can do it! Just run, run as fast as you can to the bonfire in Blighttown.

Just out of the room where you fought him there is a set of stairs, follow them.

The best way to beat the Capra Demon is to

summon help.

Seriously, it's such a broken encounter that there's no shame in gang banging him.

I can't. I tried that.

Gurl, you got to shuck and jive

thinking I'll do this with my sorc. if I grind some souls I can get a shield enchant that could make tanking and spanking a little more viable.

 

[HungOverOnATues]

Love getting summoned to fight

Spoiler

Manus

although my hosts keep dying on me. This is probably my favorite fight next to O&S.

 

[Cannon Goose]

I honestly don't see how I can ever beat Kalameet. That fight is absolutely fucked.

I wonder what's down here in the depths...

[Grief.exe]

Need to grind like 35000 souls so I can get absolution from Oswald.

Accidently struck my boy Siegmeyer during that fight in Lost Izalith.

EDIT: Gotta do it real quick while my gf gets ready...I'll probably have enough time to beat the game....and NG+

 

[HungOverOnATues]

I honestly don't see how I can ever beat Kalameet. That fight is absolutely fucked.

He's not too hard to beat I don't think, but getting his tail off is kind of a pain in the ass.

What SL are you?

 

[Sullichin]

Spoiler

Manus

What SL are you getting summoned? Consistently?

 

[HungOverOnATues]

SL85 and so far I've been having an easier time getting summoned here than anywhere else.

Edit: it also helps that I got summoned into the same guys game like 4 times until he beat him lol

 

[Cannon Goose]

He's not too hard to beat I don't think, but getting his tail off is kind of a pain in the ass.

SL 81.

 

[Sullichin]

SL85 and so far I've been having an easier time getting summoned here than anywhere else.

I wasn't having much luck getting summoned in NG but now i'm 85 in NG+, maybe more of the people doing the new areas are closer to that level.

I steamrolled through the lord souls I had left with the new sorcery. They're seriously strong. But still took out Gwyn with good old parry/riposte.

 

[Grief.exe]

If you are in NG+, but are fairly low level can you still be summoned to help people that aren't in NG+?

I mean if you stay low enough can you help people who may have just started the game?

 

[ArynCrinn]

Anyone?

K+M controls suck, period. I can't recommend that at all, and frankly it's a disgrace to play this game that way.

I haven't tested out the new mod, but analog control and the feel of a controller really suit this game.

 

[EasyMode]

Yep, only your level matters.

 

[HungOverOnATues]

I think it only takes into account their SL. Would be kinda funny to do a SL1 run and summon some beginners into NG+

 

[Jugendstil]

As crazy as it sounds, you're better off running than rolling.

This. Rolling too often traps you against the wall. Once I realized this and just started sprinting to the stairs, things went much smoother.

 

[Taruranto]

I honestly don't see how I can ever beat Kalameet. That fight is absolutely fucked.

Kalameet was very easy for me (i even tanked him, and i'm a mage lol), same with

Spoiler

Manus.

The hardest boss of the DLC was the second one imo, almost impossible without a party. The first one was hard because he's kinda out of nowhere.

I wonder what's down here in the depths...

Oh believe me, you have seen nothing...

How good is the multiplayer in this version? Can you use DSFix and still play online? Is PvP active?
