I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want a strength weapon that isn't a greatsword/axe/hammer that's also better than a Black Knight Sword?
Yes, I should have clarified. I've been looking for a fast-ish strength based weapon that I can use with a shield.

tried and failed, all it ever got me was a wasted ring slot
There aren't really any fast strength weapons. I can't really think of one anyways.
edit: you could always try just a longsword, it's got C strength scaling and is a straight sword.

If you want to stay on greatswords:
Man serpent greatsword+15 is better at 2 hand 21 Str+ and one hand 31 Str+, and Stone greatsword is better at 2hand 27 Str+ (to wield) and 40 Str + (min req).

Great Soul Arrow or Heavy Soul Arrow? I just bought Heavy Soul Arrow as my first spell (aside from Pyromancy) and I'm wondering if I made a mistake.

Isn't that quote from someones father who died and wrote a poem on Reddit?

I keep both around. Great is excellent for bosses provided that you can get the cast off. It's also worth having as an opener for particularly nasty non-boss trash.
Just sayin', someone posted that on Reddit claiming their father wrote it before he died. Shit you not!
NOW I KNOW WHERE I HEARD IT! THAT MOVIE WITH WOLVES AND LIAM NEESON! Man that was a great movie.

Manus is defeated, though I summoned someone to help. I probably should have kept at it but I just had no answer for his spells and I was sick of getting him near death just to be one shot by one by his crazy magic.

Both, actually.
If i receive a +5 Lightning Weapon, does the achievement unlock? And if i receive all the weapons, the same?
I have already got Platinum on the PS3 version, but i am not in the mood to almost finish 3 times the game...
Right now i just want to get summoned around my current lvl (60). Thats why i am thinking about "trading" some weapons with some friends, especially the ones that requires special souls do forge.
Reinforced Club. Bad range but it does awesome damage, it's light, and it's faster than greatswords. The 2HR2 attack is really strong.
You're doing this in the asylum right, not in the crow's nest in firelink? I traded a xanthous crown and it worked.
Oh, that must be it then

working okay for me, that's how I got the ring of fog. are you exiting then reloading your save after dropping the item? also she will only trade each item once.
Nah, only the ghosts require a curse to defeat. No other enemies have any such requirement. Using a Transient Curse for the big four doesn't do anything but prevent you from using other buffs for the fight, though if you're summoning Beatrice for the fight she'll sometimes get hung up on trying to kill a ghost that hangs out passively near the entrance to
the Abyss
Real helpful, that Beatrice.

Kalameet defeated on my second try. Nice confidence booster after the Manus debacle.

Dem goosebumps. Love it.
he's not that bad...unless you're going for the tail. Although apparently its hitbox is MUCH bigger than it looks, and I unexpectedly managed to finally take it off with the balder side sword's 2h R1 when it was 20 feet above my head.
While also giving them more HP!

Has anyone ever had a successful arena match? I've yet to have it connect me with anyone.
i think I have gone as far as I can. Dont think I have it in me to go further.
Just finished Blight town.
My options are Valley of the Drake, Catacombs, or New Londo.
All very frustrating.
Maybe I can try again again in a few months, but by then I will be rusty.
ps: I got my first invader in Blight town, I whooped him.

Son of a bitch. I got annihilated by an invader 2 minutes into Blight Town, thought I turned it around by taking out Mildred.

I guess I all I have left is my appointment with Gywn.
There was a boss?

How did you finish Blighttown without taking out the giant spider witch? If you went up that water wheel and left, you missed the entrance to her lair across the swamp from the water wheel. It's Quelaag. I just beat her, and for some reason managed it on my own despite summoning others on previous attempts and dying.
guess i did, guess i did
How is the Chaosblade? I never dared use it back in the pre-1.03 days (not sure if its changed after that either) b/c wiki says it chips off your HP upon hitting enemies. Is it powerful enough to offset this "defect"? Really like katanas myself but uchikatana+10 is not cutting it in the DLC contents and am using GraveLord GS+4 instead.
I've aimed to make my char an INT build from the start and am sitting am 31 right now, but was wondering if the White Dragon Breath is worth pumping another 6 points into after I have 44 for the Crystal soul spear.

I can understand how someone could miss Quelaag's lair. Most games wouldn't expect you to wade waist deep in a poisonous bog for a quarter mile. You look out and you see nothing but darkness and death and that water wheel out of there, looks pretty damn inviting.
So serious question, why does almost no one talk to the NPC's in this game. One of the most frequent complaints I've heard about this game is that it doesn't tell you where to go. See: newbies walking into the graveyard/new Londo and getting pissy. Yet the very first NPC you see in Firelink tells you exactly where to go.

If the bloodstains in firelink are any indication, newbies try to gank that guy and get killed instead, sending them into an infinite loop of respawning and getting killed by him.
