Dark Souls

['Press Start']

The fact that everyone seems to have gone the heavy armor route and simply ran up to them and pounded them in the face makes me question how far most people would have gotten into this game before giving up if they weren't constantly looking at guides .

Either that or people changed their approach after the first or second encounter unlike you keeps trying the same method and dying!

It's obvious fast and hard is the way forward with this boss, they give you time to kill one before the next appears. Is that not hint enough? As well as greens I plan to put the grass shield on my back whilst to really up stamina regen. Besides, Putting that abyss ring on overloads me (use havel ring normally to carry my great shield and black knight sword) so I may as well stack up on big armour!

FSW Can't dodge the magic blast (well I can't). You can absorb it with shield and loose some health but it gives more time for the other kings to spawn!

But it's the best weapon I have and it deals the most damage and does it fast. There is no point in me using a different weapon if they are telling me to tank the boss as this is the best for the job that I have.

Sorry to multi post but maybe the kings have high pierce resist?

Only click if you've passed Anor Londo - http://oxtongue.co.uk/NTSC-uk/Posts/chest.jpg

I would be coming to the end of NG++ but I'm going to spend the night trying to get some more

Souvenir of Reprisal's

Just finnished up Anor Londo. It's a beautiful looking place with spectacular views and such a contrast from the other areas I've been through like the Depths and Blight town.

Keep finding more things to do before I finish playthrough 1...

Ranked up a few covenants for the extra spells, getting the souvenir of reprisals was tough work Bort. The harpies in the painted world have a pretty bad drop rate. Had a few succesful invasions in the painted world and in the final area with the black knights. But mostly I got battered by over powered people. Ring of Fog will help loads I think, but I can't get 3 kills in the forrest to get one~ and I want to keep my Skull lamp thingy, Snuggly aint getting that.

Have just crafted all of the boss soul weapons I can this round, easy peasy. Rocking the Quelaag Furysword +5 right now. Wondering how tough crafting the normal weapons will be to +15 for those trophies? I might leave them for NG+ as I want to finish this and play other games.

Sorry but no its not obvious, theres no way i can kill one before more show up and two spawn at the same time afterwards anyway, so the whole one at a time method is a load of rubbish IMO unless you have some secret super weapon I dont know about that kills them in 2 hits.

I'm gonna try a different method now and proove you all wrong !!

I just went down the Demon Ruins before attempting the four kings again and co-op'd with a guy using that Demon Spear. I was one shotting the Capra Demons (2 handed + forward + R trigger) and 3 hitting the bulls(one two hand x 2 one hand) whilst the spear guy was doing average chip damage. Black knight sword + 5 FTW!

Upgraded the sunlight armour to +9. Can use normal Titanite and it only weighs 6.0. Farmed the material in Sens fortress bonfire area in 20 mins. Good drops of Titanite shard and large shards from knights. There is also a merchant that sell large shards.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent! (minor spoilers ahead)

I forgot to mention. Before I killed The scaless dragon a big message appeared on my screen ' Disasters will stop after defeat of the gravelord Servant'.

What is that all about?

What is that all about?

Someone from the Gravelord covenant "cursed" your world, making certain enemies stronger (and add some D'sS-like red phantom versions of other enemies) as long as the curser is alive and online. It does not mean you have been invaded, but the curser placed a sign in his world and it spread to up to other three worlds. You can find the sign left by the curser and invade his world to get rid of the sign.
It works if you are hollowed too as it's not an "active" invasion of your world. If the curse is gone you should receive a different prompt saying that the disasters are gone or soemthing similar.

you get the Dark Hand as soon as you join the Darkwraith covenant - level 1 (10 humanity) gets you a red eye orb (infinite invasions), getting to level 2 (30 humanity) gets you the dark sword / armour set. You won't need 80 humanity

Coolio, I should already have it then.

[Uli]

so i rang the second bell, i am at level 34 but still too weak (more health than stamina) to beat Sif the Wolf. is it wise to enter the Fortress or should i further level up to gain some stamina and upgrade weapons?

also, what is a Divine Weapon for?
Wiki says: "Divine Weapon Adds Magic and Faith scaling, decreases Strength/Dex scaling. Greatly reduces scaling overall." what does scaling mean here?

thanks!
