On the bright side the 25>50 roll got buffed and it's viable enough that you don't really need the ring anyways.im absolutly okay with that, but i was confused
No, you get 160 stamina at 40, 192 with 40 + ring
that makes the ring even more powerfull. thank you.
The hardest part of the Hydra fight is not getting too close and drowning in deep water.

Didn't take people long to figure out the teleporting backstab trick. God damn. At least i had a few good duels.
IMO the PS3 controller is better because of the DPad. Sometimes when I'm swapping items on the 360 pad, the stupid ass one-button DPad swaps out my weapon because the DPad will register a press on the side button too. This is horrible if you're doing it during a fight.
Thank you. Was on the cusp of just getting the 360 version but if I can run it, I may as well get the PC version and Durante's wonder mod.
Yeah, i cant count how many times i died because i switch the shield for a bow.

no rage cheese revenge:
long bow and poison arrows....just stand on the wall furthest from them...their arrows hit dirt steps in front of you while you can shoot high and still get them...2-3 hits in a row with poison and relax and wait for death! Dragonslayer GB aslo works.
loving this game so much right now! Can't wait to get my Skywalker build into the new area!!! Only placing the lordvessel then ready to go...just switched from early game sorcerer to power faith in painted world.....90K souls acquired fast while getting reprisals for DARKMOON....BLUE LIGHT SABRE BABY!!!! ( on my BBS and washing pole.) Still have 2 gargoyle halberds...not sure what to do with them?!?!!?? lightning chaos??? more +15?

whats the best first bonfire to kindle a bunch?
Also, can you warp between bonfires? I only have 2 unlocked right now and there is no warp option.

you can warp after you beat smough and orinstein and as far as bonfires go you can kindle all the ones before boss fights if you want

I see a few post saying that certain items got nerfed or changed.
Does anyone have a link to a list of these changes annd what items were effected??

You can't warp until a while after ringing the 2 bells.
Kindle every bonfire in order, humanity is common enough to pull it off.

The most dangerous part of the Hydra fight is not falling into the invisible hole surrounding it.
Someone posted this list earlier in the thread. Don't know if it's still up to date.
DWGR nerfed to below 25% equip load (CONFIRMED)
BB transfer and dragon head glitch fixed (CONFIRMED)
Claymore and all other greatswords had their speed nerfed (CONFIRMED)
New warp locations, such as Undead Parish, the Depths, Tomb of the Giants and more (CONFIRMED)
Elite Knight Set fixed. Now the poise is back to 46 making it useful again (CONFIRMED)
Hornet Ring nerfed. Damage is now 30%, not 50% (CONFIRMED)
Some item changes on corpses ex. 3 humanities on the corpse at the well in Firelink Shire (CONFIRMED)
Eagle Shield physical damage reduction down to 95% from 100% making it useless (CONFIRMED)
Mid-Rolls buffed (CONFIRMED)
Elemenatal weapons slightly nerfed (CONFIRMED)
Mask of the Father nerfed. Now adds 5% equip load (CONFIRMED)
Mask of the Mother nerfed. Now adds 10% HP (CONFIRMED)
Hyper Armor for STR weapons returned (CONFIRMED)
Nope, its after you beat Ornstein and Smough and you get the lordvessel.

So many nerfs. New warp locations make up for anything, though.
I think my biggest problem with the game is how opaque the upgrade system is. Experimentation is punished harshly what with the limited materials and all, you're much better off reading and comparing stats on the wiki before deciding on your weapon path.
Still haven't decided what kind of style I want to go with this time around. I kinda want to ditch magic and pyromancy altogether, which was my crutch to fall back on when melee didn't work out.
Also, I watched a stream of this and the guy playing got a Black Knight Sword drop from the very first black knight in the game, in the Undead Burg where you get the Blue Tearstone Ring. Ridiculously good weapon this early on, although I think it has some tough STR requirements.

If you grab the armour set before you've beaten the Hydra, you deserve all those deaths
What else are you gonna use as an easy visual marker for where it's safe to be?The drop rate off the undead parish Ballers is insanely low. Meanwhile I got about 8 of them just randomly killing the ones in Sen's Fortress.

Got to Anor Londo last night and my god does it look amazing in high res. This game constantly reminds me of its superiority. Can't wait for my next session. Feels like the first time I experienced it.
I have another question. I have a 1H axe I am currently using. Pretty fast but 3 hits for the non armor guys in undead. I found this battle axe, which under req per it states that I need 12 in STR and 8 in DEX - which I have 12 in both.
So why does it look like its slightly bit heavy for my toon (even if 2h'd) and eats a lot of end for heavy hit & reg. When 1H'd and I hvy hit a non armor it one shots (1 hvy and 1 reg for armored dudes). The end after doign 1 hvy and 1 reg leaves me not enough to even roll.
Why is this?

The animations and stamina usage for each weapon are the same, even if you meet the stat requirements. The halberd, for examle, has a tiny bit of stumbling that you can't avoid. Best advice is just to experiment with a lot of weapons until you find one whose animations you really like.

ah thanks. info should be added to the op. I don't even think this info is on the wiki's yet.
I thought my great swords were swinging a little slower.
Shame about the Eagle Shield as well.

Oh I do. Then I get invaded.
yes and i think it´s also trying to match the soullevels which makes it so hard to find matches.

so as a cleric, when can you get the lightning attacks? Is it early and "convenient"*?
* Dark Souls redefinition of convenient
* Dark Souls redefinition of convenient
Is the reward good?
I'm guessing he shows back up again
in the forest? I beat Manus and I haven't seen him since the first appearance. His weapon seems like it could be pretty good.. a good non scaling STR weapon - I like
The lightning spear miracle? You just need to join the sunlight covenant -
altar on the dragon side of the dragon bridge in the parish. You need either 25 faith or help a few people in co-op to be able to join
For those who have played the new content, any one else getting shit performance in
chasm of the abyss?
Obsidian Greatsword, it's pretty beastly fully upgraded for where I am in the game
I spent nearly 30 minutes sitting on the trapdoors for 1v1 and 2v2 -- not a single game started
I was crazy excited to get to this area after spending nearly 3 hours battling with Knight Astorias (my god, this was a fucking awesome battle). So far both bosses I've faced in the new content have been amazing.
Anyone know if you can get Knight Astorias armor? I want it.

Yeah, you can
buy it from Domhall in firelink
I wish Ooacile township was longer.
Very nice! Thanks
Any idea what the
carving items
I ran around the township for a bit before logging off last night. I like the design of it and the new enemies (ones I've seen) are meh. I made it across a few bridges and eventually down to a dark room with about 8 or 9 of those wizards and monkey guys -- they took my life.

Those are for a crude way of communication. You throw them on the ground and a spooky voice (Gough, I think) says something. You can use them as often as you want but they take up an item slot.
