nameless Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Not sure if Balder sword causes bleed damage, but Uchi does. So with 3-4 swings you can kill of most of the mobs, even in NG+. For boss fights, buffing weapons is a very good option. Uchi+15 with buff (Use resins in case you don't want to level up Faith/Int) can finish of bosses in quick time. Anyone playing NG+/NG++? I started with NG+ and the bosses so far have been underwhelming (SL 110). Still not killed the Taurus Demon and Gargoyles. Finishing the bosses I can before ringing both the bells. Killed Queelag, Hydra, Sif, Three Cats, Butterfly, Goat Demon, the demon in the starting area once you go back (the section where the floor collapses and you fight a boss) in first attempt. Got to try Four Kings next as that was tough in NG+ on PS3 and that is the only boss fight that is supposed to get super hard with every NG iteration. The drake on the bridge looks bigger than in NG. Does not shooting his tail make the fight tougher? Also noticed an advantage of not killing the Taurus Demon and Gargoyles. Running from Firelink Shrine to the first Bonfire in Undead parish gets me a Humanity. Can get humanity easily in 2-3 mins. Also running from that Bonfire (using the ladder) to Bonfire near Andre gets another Humanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbpoovannagamer Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 guys my character is a theif so is it wise to go for a dex build? what kind of weapons should i be wielding that will result in quick kills? right now i have a battle axe +5 equipped and in the area "undead parish" i kill everything with one or 2 hits- even those enemies with red cloaks when i equip the gargoyle tail ax with shield, i get a shield symbol in my HUD below my HP and Stamina bars, any idea what it means? and i attacked the blacksmith by mistake and he was so tough to kill and now i cant reinforce any of my weapons how far away is the next blacksmith?

The character you pick at start has no effect on anything. You can go for any build irrespective of what you pick at start. What matters is where you put points on leveling up. You get no special attacks/benefit based on what you pick at start. If you wanna go for Dex build, you just need to put points in it. Thief has got nothing to do with it. The gargoyle tail axe boosts poison and toxin resistance. I think that is why you are seeing the shield symbol. You kill the blacksmith at Undead parish, you are kinda handicapped . He is the single most useful smith in the game. Each blacksmith is different and have their own speciality. Andrei levels up weapons to Normal+10, Normal+15, Divine+10 (Very useful in Catacombs) and Occult. He also sells the Key to Sif's area. Now you might need to go long route to kill Sif. I think Normal+10 is required for upgrading to Lightning, Divine, Boss Soul and Occult weapons. You can now only create Fire, Chaos, Magic, Enchanted weapons from Normal+5 weapons (you can level these yourself by buying the Smithbox from merchant). For Fire and Chaos weapons, go to the blacksmith in Catacombs. For Magic and Enchanted weapons you need to talk to the blacksmith locked up below Firelink Shrine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thx will go for uchi Also look at Washing Pole or something like that sold by Shiva (need to join Forest Hunter Covenant). It is a Katana with Higher requirement (18 Dex instead of 16), but seems a bit longer and has longer reach for R2 attack (thrust attack).

Aftrunner Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I am trying to drop some upgraded weapons to him so he wont need that blacksmith but we just cant seem to connect. I can get summoned by others but not by him. And he can see other people's summon signs but not mine. Invading doesnt work either. We are about the same level too. Annoying.

nameless Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) You are probably moving slow, because your gears are too heavy. If the total weight of armour and weapons exceed 50% of the allowed limit (depends on points in Endurance), you will start moving slowly and swinging stuff slowly. Hmmm, I dont have any characters around lvl 30 (there is a restriction on summoning, where the person summoned has to be within 10-15% lvl of the summoner). I have three characters at lvl 12, 55 and 115. I could invade you using my lvl 12 character though, as invading in Darkwraith covenant has no level restrictions. Also, since you have the Gargoyle Tail Axe, I am assuming you already killed the Gargoyles Boss. If yes, you cannot summon anyone or be invaded by anyone in that area (Undead Parish) AFAIK. You can only summon/be invaded in areas where the Bosses are not yet killed. If you are in some other area like Darkroot garden, Darkroot Basin, Blighttown, Depths etc, you can be invaded by me or Afty (if he is in Darkwraith covenant). You can also summon Afty there. Edit - Hmmm, generally don't play at night. Will add you up anyway and if I find you online we can try and work something out. Do you play during daytime (morning or afternoon)?

nameless Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 lol....PvP is pretty tough the first few times. You get the Read Soap Stone in the Painted World (At Anor Londo). You need to ring both the bells before going there. Sent you a request on GFWL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan_Hunt Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 What gear is recommended for a trip down Blighttown's poison swamp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Normal gear with good posie is fine. Just carry a lot of blossoms (from Darkroot Garden) as most of the attacks will poison you. Also, if you have the Rusted iron ring (Got to go back to Undead Asylum again to get this ring), would be helpful here as the Swamp will slow you down.

Ethan_Hunt Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 I have dawned the Thief's armour set, as that seemed to have a better poison resistance stat compared to my Elite armour. I have the Rusted Iron ring, two as a matter of fact. Got invaded by Maneater Mildred's phantom and was almost overwhelmed by the mosquitoes and cragspiders. Thankfully, I was able to isolate them on dry land and perform the kills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Cool, the Maneater is super helpful in the boss fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
