The lock on UI element randomly appearing in game. I've seen it in footage of the PS3 version too.
Well, the
sure goes out of its way to bring back a lot of painful memories of earlier adventures. That poor first boss, though; so easily defeated.
Demon Ruins
I found a shortcut to Lost Izaliath by another fog door, and I killed some bugs, with one of them dropping a helm called the Sunlight Maggot. I take it that this is quite the handy item, yeah?

Can't quite remember but I think they power up your miracles when they're around.
Not true. That icon will appear in your game if someone casts a miracle in their game. Your own miracles will actually be buffed if you cast one in the same area.

"When a large amount of a miracles are used in an area it creates a resonance. Using that same miracle will cause your miracle to be more powerful. A dark white circle will appear around it showing you which one was used."
So yea I'm gonna make a Raziel build, let's hope I don't fuck it up.
Oh weird.

Yep, no rules on invasions.
Which is exactly why I feel absolutely no guilt about using the cheapest, grimiest, most asshole methods imaginable to screw invaders who come into MY fucking world and try to kill me. Tranquil Walk of Peace spam, backstabs from summoned players while you try and attack me, summoning three people and triple teaming you, 1-2 hit kills with OP weapons you shouldn't have at the time like Gravelord Sword, backstabbing you while you're still spawning in the "Dark spirit Toolbag Ganker has invaded" phase, all of it.
And then the ganking douchebags wanna cry and send ragemail when you do it. And it's like "Fuck you invader, you came into my world while I was minding my own business and tried to kill me." They deserve no sympathy and no honorable fights. Kill their asses and continue on your way.
Yes, it's an invitation to a duel, the winner will get a dragon scale.
Extremely, for the tomb of the giants. If Solaire is alive you also saved his life, he would have been taken over by the helm and attacked you, if you had gone the other way around
Yep, I'm a member. You compete for
dragon scales
Does anybody know a hotspot?

Being able to write shit on the ground for other players is the best. Every time I go to the blacksmith, who is a muscle-y and shirtless man, someone has written 'amazing chest' on the ground in front of him.
:O
I just saved myself from doing the hardest thing in the game! LONG LIVE SOLAIRE!!!
You could've let the bum

Why on earth would I want to ever do that?!?
Save a crapload of
humanity

When you get to Anor Londo, you will see A LOT of "Gorgeous View" and "Amazing Chest ahead" messages for much more endowed npc
Save humanity? Wait...did that shortcut have something to do with giving the Fair Lady humanity?
Well, then!
...it's not like farming humanity is hard, thanks to Depths being on the warp list.

Everyone loves Solaire; even perpetually-on-the-brink-of-death spider women.
She is looking a little better, though!

I'm loving the hell out of my DEX build so far. As janky as archery can be it's still pretty fun picking off enemies from a relatively safe distance and the DEX scaling weapons have some unique moves beyond the standard slash and stab. After running with a knight build for awhile it's also refreshing as hell to put on light armor and actually be able to roll and dodge effectively.
I like DEX just because of the variety of weapons you can use. It's infuriating to watch people dodge your Crystal Arrow.

Hmm, I understand Dex might be the way to go. Could a Dex build be combined with Sorcery/INT? Probably not pump as many points in VIT and END as during my initial run, but that wouldn't really be necessary anyway, since I've already completed the game twice now.

I put it where I see a nice view. If the sun is there, it's just a bonus.
I had that down in Blight Town. So good.
-Minor boss spoilers-
My favorite is the one right before Quelaag that always reads: "Weakness: Amazing Chest"

A meta joke but it's popular because when you think about it, it can mean a multitude of things.And it's like they new Solaire catch phrase would catch on, like Umbasa in Demon's Souls.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUuRC1Mg-Bs

the messages really are a fantastic idea. though I generally use them for misdirection and lols rather than actual tips.
hey in a game where NPCs invade your game to grief you it's every man for himself.

I'd recommend DEX for PvE and STR for PvP
With only a few exceptions, dex weapons are mostly garbage in pvp, but they are quite fun to use for pve runs through the game.
I was thinking of going for a DEX build, but I'm at Undead Parish and so far I haven't found any weapon that complements DEX. But I have the awesome zweihander. So I'm torn on whether to work on my strength so that I can properly use the sword, or should I work on my DEX and wait for a decent DEX related weapons ahead.
On NG+ Zweihander's speed is getting me owned, mine's Lightning +5 though so the upped enemy defense means it's not longer the reliable 1 shotter that it used to be.
BKGA +5 on the other hand, kicks as much ass as ever. I'm having too much fun running around 2H with grass shield on my back.

Do you ever get some form of teleportation spell that let's you warp back to specific bonfires and not just your last one? I guess not but it would have been nice 
I remember the lady in Lordan that can boost your Flask or something, might be worth checking out.
This game haunts my dreams, so good.

You get the ability to warp between certain bonfires about halfway through the game (depending what order you do things).Do you ever get some form of teleportation spell that let's you warp back to specific bonfires and not just your last one? I guess not but it would have been nice

After defeating the bosses of Anor Londo
Dude, chill. The key to this game is patience.
You'd be surprised how putting the game away will help you progress. You'll come back level headed and normally breeze through whatever it was that was giving you trouble.
What you need to understand is that it is your own fault. Seriously...and that's why its so rewarding. It pushes you as a gamer far beyond what you think is possible of yourself.
If you die, you need to improve in some way. Strategy, gear, memorization, etc. Its always something that YOU can influence and overcome, if you wish. Its never unfair. And when you do finally overcome a difficult section, you feel like you're the top of the world, because your hard effort paid off big time.
I love it.
Well, except for random bursts of input lag (not as prevalent as on ps3 but still there), shoddy hit detection, sloppy jumping mechanics, camera flipping the fuck out in tight areas, etc.
But yeah, most of the time, it actually is your own damn fault. Well... yours and that of level designers'...
