To the right of the church there's another tower you can go down into. You should be able to hear his mighty hammer.
Maybe you killed him?

Do you know if this site is legit? I've seen different reports for it.

That site has a Hong Kong domain, therefore it's almost surely a region key exploiter and therefore banned.

Hmmm, Sorry for a million questions, one more before I decide then:

If I kill sun man, is his armor heavy with lots of defense, kind of like the Baldur armor?

You get two daggers for giving her the soul or you turn it into a sword at a blacksmith.

When you pass the gate where the big steel boar was, coming from the bridge with the dragon, hug the right.
Right from the cathedral is a path that takes you to the Blacksmith.

Go to the main church thing, instead of taking a left at the alter to the stairs up, you can go to the right out to another small courtyard with 3 guys. Follow the long downstairs bridge, you can't miss him!

now i feel bad because i killed her she drops her armor

 

[Soulhouf]

Its a good thing considering the very limited number of crystal lizards in the game.
They should have 4 times the number.

Plus it was originally added to the console versions at the time of the dragon head Duping glitch which helped non cheating players get on even grounds because cheaters kept their glitched inventory items.

But twinkling titanite is supposed to have more value. By making them available to purchase you destroy their value. Besides you can obtain them from the man-eater shells, the drop rate is not that low.

I like your style. I love when people play Souls games however they choose. If you enjoyed running around in armor of the sunbro you viciously murdered, wasn't it worth it regardless of what the quest was? I always view it as an alternate ending to any quests, haha.

But twinkling titanite is supposed to have more value. By making them available to purchase you destroy their value. Besides you can obtain them from the man-eater shells, the drop rate is not that low.

The only potential value twinkling could have had is if it was not farmable. Since it is, From just made the process faster, which I approve of since so many items require twinkling. It's one thing to restrict slabs to super rare drop rates, since you get like 20 damage improvement with them, but you needed twinkling if you wanted to even try out some of the weapons and builds.

How are you guys progressing through the game so fast? I've played for about 11 hours, and I still haven't killed the Capra Demon. There are only two possible explanations for this: I suck or I suck.

A lot of double dippers who already know all the areas and boss patterns. Capra is usually the first brick wall new players hit.

About the 10th time I run through the old content. There's pretty much no way you can finish it this quickly from scratch.

With only the final boss left to do on this playthough, I have 22 hours played by the way. About half of which was spent on the new areas.

A lot of people have played it before, with every enemy placement and boss encounter seared into their minds. First playthroughs will usually take a long time.

My first playthrough on PS3 I probably hit the 30 hour mark before even ringing the second bell.

Tell me about it. Somebody might want to tell this fellow(I guess I will) that these NPCs are who you get your spells and pyromancy from. Without them...well....you're at a serious disadvantage.

There's some that aren't important, but how would you know?

quick question about upgrading weapons/armor:

I'm playing through the game relatively blind and I just reached the first blacksmith (I'm assuming there are multiple based on what I have read). I still have all of my starting gear (playing as a bandit, so battle axe and spider shield as well as the armor set), so I'm questioning whether it's worth it to spend my 1 titanite shard on my battle axe or hold off until i find a better weapon? I technically do have a weapon with higher damage in my inventory (halberd), but my character cant really swing it very well for a reason that is beyond my knowledge (he stumbles at the end of the Rb swing).

what do you guys suggest?

So I decided to not kill sun man. Instead, I checked out the lower town a bit more and found a door I never entered. A large spiral staircase lay before me with numerous "dangerous enemy" messages. I thought "Meh, I'll just burn this fool." Little did I know it was the most defense tank I was about to face. Luckily he was slow. Took me about 20 minutes of slowly poking him with my spear after running out of flames but I beat him. I was hoping for his cool shield or even *gasp* some new armor, but all I got was the lame Hovels ring.

Go and check out the stats of the halberd. Highlight it in the inventory and press X I believe, it shows the stat requirements for proper use. It'll either be dependent on your Strength or your Dexterity skill.

Titanite shards become pretty common. Upgrade the Battle Axe to +2 and you can get more later.

I used the Battle Axe for the longest time actually. I only switched when I found a Balder Side Sword, now I have that at +10

Even if you meet the requirements for the halberd, you will always stumble at the end of an RB attack that doesn't hit anything. If you hit an enemy you won't stumble. I prefer that over the battle axe. You can buy/farm materials for upgrading them so it's not a big deal to change your mind later.
