I was pretty high level (SL 74) but they weren't really all that tough. No one really was after a while.
with great difficulty? LOL no its not so bad to get back...just run like shit by all the dog skellies and when you get to the ladder section...just aggro the skellies on the top of the ladder then go back down halfway..they will jump down and remove themselves from your path out.......only you won't be able to homeward out of catacombs...the hard part is getting back to the first bonfire close to Firelink with limited estus from the tomb! Kindle those fires as high as you can afford.....20 is not too much at all.....going backward through the catacombs is harder than going down what with no drops available and the bonewheels right off the bat...hope you took a divine weapon or at least killed all the shamans who unless dead resurrect the skellies.
Yeah, I too as a programmer am baffled at their incapability to add something so basic like multiple resolutions after doing something as complicated as porting it. I get the feeling they grabbed some of the programmers from the console dev team and sat them to publish for build for PC and that's it.
You'll want to get a shield with high magic resist and pretty low weight equipment to outrun his crystal breath. When he does the attack that pretty much fills the entire room with crystals, just roll around like crazy when you see the crystals pop up and you'll receive minimum damage at worst.That's the problem I don't know when he spews and where he spews. Weird things happened like I was behind him and suddenly he somehow spewed behind himself.
Yeah, the Crest Ring should be alright, but it has pretty low stability, so don't rely on it too much. As far as armor goes, I really think this is a battle which requires a lot of mobility, so I'd go as light as possible, below the 25% if possible (use Havel's Ring if needed).
That ring will help you a lot, try to find it or you'll miss not having it. Getting one soft humanity helps some too, though not as much as the ring. You can also use a Symbol of Avarice, if you have one.
New warpable bonfires - dukes and parish means its not far at all
Either use a Transient Curse item, get cursed or use a weapon that can hit them (that dagger you find down there and the Cursed Greatsword of Artorias for example).
Below 25% equipment is basically the fastest roll, yes. There actually are tiny differences between 0% and 9.3% and what not, but they're negligible. Below 25% is what you want. The difference between a <25% and <50% in both movement speed and roll is very noticeable, be more attentive next time.
Demon Titanite drops from Titanite Demons - the big headless ones crawling around with one leg and the big staff, who for the most part don't respawn.
I would like to visit something more eastern, but always set in the Dks/DmS universe.
It was a big guy (with mushroom hair) who made me join a thing and then sold me stuff.
Sorry if it's too vague, I'm not near the game to check what the thing he made me join is called
Hm, okay, thanks man. He said something about telling me about a mission if I paid him.. but if it's not any item or anything I guess it's ok.
I at first felt I was alright with 50% weight but after a while you cannot go back, and I'd rather have the Poise Ring than wear any extra armor. Push the limits of your 25% (I have 29.9 out of 30
), use Havel's Ring if you have to.Yeah, I really like the stamina based combat too, it's surprisingly simple and smart at the same time, but I love the difficulty, minimalism, exploration and character building so much I wish those sensibilities were taken into other genres and settings.
Gotta love how all it took was a few more tries to get you in the 'zone' and completely hooked in the game. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
If all you care about is roll speed, then being under 25% load is the same. But lighter armour also means less damage reduction and poise.
SL 90 is more than enough.
