Aftrunner Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Oh god. f**k the run to the Iron keep final boss. Its a bloody gauntlet. And then, right at the end, they put a ninja knight that drops from above right after you reach that corridor with the turtle. So you are stuck in a corridor with a turtle up front and the ninja behind you. Goddamn genius troll move. I wasnt even mad, thats actually hilarious. I ended up resorting to using poison arrows and the Belfry Sol bonfire to finally get through. That section was harder than any boss so far. Anyway, if I take the bow I have up to the poison path, do I still need poison arrows or will regular arrows do poison build up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Not sure about the poison infusion on bows, never tried that. Sounds like something worth trying though. There are a LOT of places in the game where having ranged options really helps. That section in Iron Keep was hard yes but I didn't have a lot of trouble there. Mainly because my GH Soul Arrows coupled with binoculars destroyed everything in two hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah but Magic is easy mode anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yes but almost all bosses (and most regular enemies) can one shot me from full health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 What are you investing in then? All you need is ATT and INT. Just shove 20 points into VIG and you are done. Between STR and DEX I have levelled up about 25 times. I imagine if I did that with INT I would have about 40 INT. Keep the same health which I have right now (20). Swap out END and ADP for ATT. And even at SL 60-70 I would be a murder machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah now that I have enough STR/DEX for the MLGS I will be pumping up VGR. I have been putting points mainly into INT/ATT/END so far and a bit of FTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not infuse bows and crossbows with poison Only one NPC (Gavlan) sells poison arrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah that makes sense. Also Gavlan is awesome... "Gavlan wheel, Gavlan deal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(A)Kira Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Finished the two bosses in Tower of Flame. The Dragonrider was insanely easy, shield up and then R2. Rinse and repeat. And the other boss actually made me really sad The thought of him, really old and wandering around with a spotty memory and creaking limbs, really made me feel sorry for him. And the giants in the Tower of Flame area were really bad, they only had one moveset and they kept repeating it. They could've made them a little better. Brought the ship into the harbor in No Man's Warf, but I couldn't find where to enter it from, so instead I helped as a few guys to clear Huntsman's Corpse from first bonfire to boss instead.

Tyler Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) The ship is a straight path downwards from the bell. You'll have to cross the docks - be wary of ambush. This got me really bad a few times under I figured out where the hollows come out from. On the plus side, the boss of this area is super easy. The first Sorcery vendor is also in this area. BTW Heide's Tower of Flame is meant to be done as the second area after Forest of the Fallen Giants. Considering you've already beaten the Lost Sinner you'll pretty much stomp over these areas. Also, mild spoiler.. .No Man's Wharf circles back to The Lost Bastille from another side. Edited March 27, 2014 by Tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Okay, three words for Shrine Of Amana... F**K THIS PLACE. Such a short area and still took me well more than an hour to get past it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The JACKAL Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Still havent started ng+ since I want to kill the ancient dragon and vendrick first , both are optional bosses. The former is simply the hardest boss in the game and I lack the requirement to kill the latter. If anyone's playing on 360 please lend me your giants souls. I nearly beg every phantom and invader who joins me but they're too scared to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a short area and still took me well more than an hour to get past it. You need to carry a torch to see through the water better or move your camera down but that's annoying. And u have to worry about getting ambushed by those creatures which hide in the water , the incredibly long range casters and temple knights.

The JACKAL Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Not sure if people have missed this but you can engage with the pursuer a second time. Just go back to the room where u killed the smelter demon after you have lit the bonfire upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yes I fought Pursuer V2. As for Shrine of Amana, my R2 for the MLGS helped a ton to figure out where the drops in the water were. I got killed mostly by the damn mages until I figured out the best places to snipe them from. That NPC summon in one of the huts also helps a lot.

Tyler Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Finishing a Souls game for the first time is only the beginning. I'm already looking forward to multiple builds, NG+ and beyond, SL1 run, self imposed challenges etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
