Damn. I thought so. And I was trying so hard to populate Firelink with all the NPC's I could. Oh well.
Have you tried paying some souls to the pardoner?
Ninja Flip for life !

Yeah, I paid the dude a visit and paid him to absolve. Patches is still mad. QQ
eh, not much point trying to populate firelink

Will anyone trade me for a Soul of Manus, I fucked up and used it after reading the wiki where it says it gives nothing, but I want that spell. I have pretty much everything to trade for.

Yes and no. I want all the vendors there, in this case, especially Patches, because of the masks he sells.
Go load up an older save, or wait till ng+
You can farm those from the Pinwheel clones outside of Nito's room.
how did you get that high without ringing both bells lol?
You need the Covenant of Artorias ring. You get it after defeating Sif in the Darkroot Garden. There is a watchtower near where you fight one of the Mass of Souls with stairs that leads to what looks like a bottomless pit. Make sure the ring is equipped and then drop in to it.

People going off about joining the <25% club, pfft -- I just joined the 2H-Str high poise club - damn this character feels like a rock, probably easiest play through I've done so far.
Got the Black Knight Sword early on, ripped things up - got a MSGS up to +15 and switched to it once my str was high enough to make it do more damage than the BKS - ripping through things hella fast, fully upgraded giant armour --- pretty fun

It's honestly much faster to go from Firelink Shrine; running past the ghosts is a lot easier than running past the drakes.

once you've drained the water
you really only need to kill a small number of them on the way in before jumping down to where the darkwraiths hang out.
Oh yeah, you can take the ledge shortcut huh? Still got to burn a curse to take out the ghosts so you can farm the knights in the church before the abyss gate.

pros roll with a jagged ghost blade.
Yup; absolutely invaluable.

awesome heavy-attack animation too, your character just goes Norman Bates on whatever they're pointed at.

I'm on NG++ at the moment and I'm stuck on the Four Kings. I was able to beat them on my original playthrough solo, but on NG+ I needed an ally. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any signs on NG++ so I'm kind of screwed. I tried Beatrice a couple of times, but as soon as I cross the fog gate, she starts shooting at something (hell if I know what it is) and winds up dead before even reaching the Kings. I'm a sorcerer, I can kill 2-3 of them sometimes, but by then I've run out of casts and need to go toe-to-toe which results in failure.
I'm going for the 1000, I'm on 850 IIRC. Just need to side with
After two and a half playthroughs, I still absolutely detest Blighttown, Izalith, Catacombs and Duke's Archies. I didn't enjoy Sen's on the first run through, nor Tomb of Giants but I've grown fond of them since.

Kaathe. I stupidly messed up last run through, I sided with him but didn't realise that I needed to walk away after killing Gwyn. My fault for not listening. I should already have the 1000, but oh well.

He just helped you find the treasure...
Eh, fuck him.
Might as will just the elevator farm some ghosts while at it they drop those curse items like candy. I do have the jagged ghost blade, worth it to upgrade?
No, bad weapon.

The only reason I didn't like it was because of its horrendous range.

like Dresden says, it's not a good weapon but if you can spare some souls to take it up to the point where you don't need a curse for the ghosts it's a very good thing to keep in your backpack.

It's too early for mods, performance comes first.
Yeah, that's what I suspected.
I started watching EpicNameBro's videos, interested to see what he had to say about the lore and stuff (he's an entertaining player to watch, too). He pointed out that the Crestfallen Warrior says New Londo used to be
Up until now, I've run through that area going "ew, this is gross. What a creepy place. Ooh, I hate ghosts" and so on, without giving it any real thought.
Jintor mentioned "church" on the previous page, and I now shudder to think of the implications. I mean, there's that one structure that
That's bad enough, but if you consider that
Dark Souls indeed. I can't get enough of this speculation shit.
an undead city...

Ingward stands on top of, where the floor inside literally crunches beneath your feet from the amount of old bones.
That's bad enough, but if you consider that
the whole of the lower part was flooded (in an attempt to seal the Darkwraiths and Four Kings iirc), that black, sludgy mess you're trekking around on must be something much more vile than simply mud...

With 20 levels to go, it looks like you could put them all into either strength of faith depending on which route you want tot take. If faith, put a couple into Attunement too, just to get an extra slot or two.
I'm using the Obsidian Greatsword that doesn't scale to strength, so i'm not sure it would bring anything to the table.
Faith is a possibility i guess, but i'm not sure how useful that is going to be. I heard Tranquil Walk of Peace used to be good, but it only last 10 seconds now.

Well it'd allow you to use other weapons as well. Weapons with scaling tend to do more damage than non-scaling ones in general.

Black Knight Greataxe is pretty godlike and that scales nicely with STR. Great moveset.

Something like this? The damage output seems really nice, but not sure how i feel about the mid roll...
