Dark Souls

Still using the Drake sword? Take a screenshot of your stats page and I will see if I can find an appropriate weapon and upgrade it for you when you reach the bottom bonfire in Blighttown.

there is a dead soul above this place in blight town fire place top

 

 

can anyone tell me how to reach that glowing soul object below ?? its in blight town its inaccessible cant find any pathway upto it :(/>

 

 

 

 

Suicide jump from above the landing, near where you see fight the first blowdart guy. You get an awesome katana, but with hight stats.

I'd rather prefer to downsample from an insane resolution and a solid 30FPS, and doubling up the game logic also as mentioned before also shortens your rolls and jumps.

 

yup it dose, stuck at sens fortress because of it, the traps have becoming too fast to avoid, thinking weather i should continue or bring it down.

 

Just quit the game to title menu if you want to pause and don't want Play time to rise.

 

Otherwise, there's lots of areas to rest where enemies won't attack you....there are no respawning enemies once you clear any area unless ofcourse you die or rest at fire.

 

lol, doing that only right now

afty, any meat cleaver like weapon recommendation for me?, i loved the weapon and its stat scaling in demons souls, anything similar here?, my black knight halberd is starting to show its age.

Man-serpent Greatsword (dropped by Snake guys in Sens fortress) and Butchers Knife (dropped by Maneater Mildred when she invades you in Blighttown) are kind of similar. Both have excellent STR based scaling.

Upgraded my Uchi to +15 for a dex build character. 420 dmg for 40 dex

 

The bleed effect is insane. I was able to kill the stray demon within 10-20 seconds. Three bleed combos and he's done.

I am doing a Sorcerer build with Enchanted Baller swag sword. Its so overpowered its ridiculous.

[Nikushimi]

Did a tanky ultra great sword character and a katana wielding dex character. Sorcerer build is up next. Damn this game is so addictive. >.<

Which great sword did you use in that? Black Knight Greatsword?

[Nikushimi]

Zweihander. Easier to upgrade.

 

Claymore was useful too. I don't like unique weapons. Farming twinkies is a pain in the a*s.

Make sure you summon Solaire of Astora for that fight. Taking them alone is quite tough. Also concentrate on attacking juts one guy. When he dies the other one gains full health, so there's no point in chipping both their health down.

found some laito katana blade after jumping off a ledge here see below (the glowing soul dead thingy had it )

 

 

it seems to have some bleed effect i wanna use it what stats do i need to improve to cause more dam with it??

 

and some weapons have C and D under bonus parameters what the hell is that??

[Aftrunner]

I have a nearly maxxed out lightning Halbred and a Queelags furysword (both work with your stats) which I can drop if we co op. But as you say co op doesnt work for you.

 

The iato is an excellent weapon. IMO its tied for the second best weapon in the game (along with the Uchi). Get it up to +5 with the blacksmith down the firelink shrine. That will give you some damage. You need to pump points into your DEX to get more damage from it. Re the bonus parameters, like I said earlier -

 

Weapon scaling works on the Stat Bonus. Each weapon (unless its an elemental weapon like lightning or fire or chaos) has an associated Scaling level. You can see it in the weapon description. It goes from S (being the best) to A then B then C then D (being the worst).

 

So for example if you have a weapon that scales A with DEX then the higher your DEX stat the more damage the weapon does.

 

But a weapon with scaling B will do less damage with the same DEX stat than a weapon with Scaling A.

 

So if you are using weapons that have a good scaling rating then having higher stat that Scaling works with will do more damage.

 

But like I said on Steam, its not the worst idea to start the game again. Your stats are a little too spread out for a new comer. Your Vitality is really low so no wonder you die a lot. Ideally, a good first time build would be high VIT, END and then DEX if you want normal weapons or super high VIT and END if you want lightning weapons. That way you can easily learn the ropes without dying all the time.

 

Starting over you can better invest in stats and get the blacksmith back.

Managed to kill the dragon slayer guy but that electric butt slam killed me in one shot !

 

Will kill them alone as the fight is so uch intense and fun !

[i_rock098]

Where do i get Twinkling Titanite other then Cristal lizard?, i had collected 3 of them with lots of effort and by mistake updated the wrong weapon

is there any way i can get them back from the weapon

[Aftrunner]

You can buy it. It costs like 8000 souls from the giant blacksmith in Anor Londo.

 

Or there is an area later where you can farm it.

[SpearHea:D]

Atlast killed them...phew !

 

Toughest boss fight i ever encountered and how to upgrade the estus flask ?

[Nikushimi]

You need firekeeper souls to upgrade the flask. Any of the firekeepers will upgrade it for you. There's one below firelink shrine, one on Anor Londo and Queelag's sister.
