And yeah, never bow to invaders. If you see them bow, it's a trap. - rush them!!

 

[mxgt]

So Andrei and Gough will both stand up and attack you?

Yes. The large majority of non hostile NPC's will retaliate if you attack them.

Pretty cool that they would give these giants a move set. Going on my 4th playthrough now and I was just curious about the blacksmiths.

 

[d0c_zaius]

really really REALLY like the new area bosses. They are all better than some of the regular bosses.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

fuck:

- pinwheel skeletons in the catacombs
- the archers in anor londo

that is all.

 

[edgefusion]

Is there anything to grab for someone who prefers light armour? Right now I'm using some upgraded Hard Leather that I got somewhere early on but I'd like something a bit more special looking.

100% physical block shield can handle pinwheels, run quickly and you beat the archers

 

[Taruranto]

So, i reached SL100.

Should i stop leveling?

Light armor - Xanthous set

Give me views, GAF!

Spoiler

only if you want to of course

. Despite it being nothing too special, the fight is still cool as fuck.

Up to you really. There is less online activity at higher levels, but you're safe up to about SL120 probably, that's where people stopped in PS3/360 versions.

Why the hell would you put a summon sign at Four Kings and not put on the Abysswalker ring. Summoned three dudes and every single one of them died.

Awesome, really intense dodge around 4:38 through the flames with barely any stamina.

How are you recording? I get such bad results with FRAPS. If you use that, did you have to do anything special?

lol happened to me too (but i was the ghost).

Most likely they forgot/didn't think they needed it.

I'm starting to love wearing really light armour coupled with an ultra greatsword. It works really well because you can two hand the sword and dodge quickly.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

yeah I've got the spider shield which is 100% physical, the real problem is that they have insanely large aggro radii so I keep walking into a room and getting pincered between a couple of them. so far I've made it to the ledge with the archers but as soon as the first one puts down his bow and pulls out the sword I get worked. my character is a caster so toe-to-toe isn't really viable, and trying to butt-stab up there just leads me right off the edge.

that said it's nice that I've finally hit something challenging on this character, everything was pretty easy so far. also joined the blade of the darkmoon at last =D

 

[Baraka in the White House]

So has From expressed any concerns about fixing the Darkmoon Covenant so it's not just a ganker's wet dream?

 

[Backfoggen]

Noobs

The worst thing is that you're stuck with higher spawn rate kings after they die so you're pretty much boned.

That boss fight is so much easier if you don't summon anyone, got them down easy on my second try.

lol yeah, I thought I was toast when I lost all my stamina and he started the breath.

I use fraps but it's pretty hit or miss. Recording at 1080p was a constant 15fps during artorias so I had to use half size.

With this fight it's 30 most of the time but drops to 15 in some areas, pretty frustrating. Don't really want to lower the res even further seeing as I play at 1440p native.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

why would they do that? it's why I joined them. though to be fair gfwl matchmaking seems to be "fixing" the covenant at the moment since I have yet to successfully invade anyone after about 5 attempts.

 

[jns]

Anyone want to coop

Manus

with me? I'm SL 75 waiting near the fog gate

 

[Grief.exe]

You guys should watch this video, pretty funny Dark Souls PVP video.

Shows all the hackers this guy has been facing, awesome when he finally gets a kill on them.

[Baraka in the White House]

why would they do that?.

Because the stated purpose of the covenant is to go after Darkwraiths and douchelord Darkwraith wannabes? Not popping up in games where the player has 0 sins and is already fighting herds of walking trees?

 

[mxgt]

I gave up on Darkmoon after 0 successful invasion attempts over a period of 2-3 days. Tried in Anor Londo and at the Kiln. It's annoying.

Going to blightown now! Having a god damn hard time with the fat ones in the beginning.

Actually, this happened to me and a few other yesterday while we had the ring equipped.. some sorta glitch.

 

[El_Presidente]

How far into Sen's Fortress is the bonfire? I die every time and I feel Im pretty far into it.

A tip for killing/cheesing the fat ones:

Spoiler

You can just let them notice you, and then climb back up the ladder. You can trick them into running off the track, falling into the abyss.

 

[Akkad]

It's kinda hidden on the roof.

 

[Grief.exe]

Its all the way on top and kind of secret, you just have to drop off the top onto it.


When I did Sen's for the first time last week it really frustrated me lol.

 

[Haly]

Look for orange text on one of the rooftops that are blackened from being set on fire. They will point out where you should go for the bonfire.

 

[zkylon]

Wow never knew there was a bonfire there...

 

[jim-jam bongs]

oh. haven't had this happen yet, but I'll be doing a few more invasion attempts tonight so maybe I'll run into that. if I invade someone wearing starting gear I'll just kill mobs for them then.

edit: love that bonfire, I always leave a cryptic message like "try death" on the edge.

 

[Gvaz]

It's at the top of the fortress right before the bosses.

 

[Finalow]

you don't need the last bonfire in sen's fortress, just find the key and unlock the cage.
it's pretty hard at first but after you learn where to go it's a really easy dungeon.

I've been a Sunbro since early levels, if I chose to join another covenant, do I lose my red summon sign?

The traps are too time consuming and frustrating. At least you never have to go back.

 

[Jintor]

Honestly the pendulums in Sen's Fortress were really simple. I never got hit by them.

Some of the angles are a little tricky to judge.

You're a good man, jim jam.

 

[mxgt]

Running back through sens is the most frustrating shit ever if you miss the roof bonfire and the cage

 

[2AdEPT]

yes...but you retain half of your previous offerings to the sun god if you switch out then decide to switch back....once you get the 2nd tier

Spoiler

spear

there is not much to do in Sunbro anyway though...might as well switch to Darkmoon at that point, or if you don't like that covenant kill its leader and get

Spoiler

sunlight buff

then continue being a sunbro ...just because!.

[Lionheart1827]

You guys got me to start a new character(360 version) even after 140 hours/all achievements on my original character. I swear whenever I see this game get discussed or see pics I just want to play it. Started a Thief class this time instead. Feels good man

Those ones at the top are unlockable?

OH MOTHER FU...



*sob*

I guess the plus side is I got pretty damned good at making my way up and down that area.
