well i had a small break off dark souls. somehow had my hands full with BF3 expansion and EVE online expansion, plus finished few other games too.
last time i played i was at the beggining of Anar Londo. So today i did continue deeper and faced those gargoyle yokes. nasty feckers, but technicly 1 shoting them. after first slam with R2 attack i just slap them again before they even manage to get up.
i have to say i fcking hated part on those ledges with two silver knights bowing me from both sides. it was fecking annoying for someone who uses 2hander in one hand and full heavy armor! anyway found the kindle fire next and got pvped. it was another person who got me with stupid backstab... had another PVP moment and i it was a huge WTF moment for me. He was in cloth armor with some huge samurai sword. he could not even touch me, but he stacked bleeding on me. what was really annoying i hade few direct blows at him and nothing happened. he did not even got pushed back or lost any health!!! can anyone explain me the physics of that? as it was pure unfair! is it some spell?! oh yeah, that headless deamon killed me like 10 times, before i got him. i cant remember him, being that hard before... plus it had some new moves too? i could kill it now easy, just was a bit too cocky lol. good lesson!
After getting my are pwned i just continued. open the door and found that blacksmith. he got some things for sale that i would not mind getting my dirty paws on. like twilight titanite! I started a bit farming souls on those silver knights and i have to say it its almost criminal how easy to farm them. i got 50k++ souls in just less then half an hour. i can 2 shot those knights. technicly 1 shot them, because after first slam i slam them second time before they even manage to get up! trololol.
okay so, questions.
that new blacksmith lets me to upgrade my sword with sif soul. though it is way lower damage upgraded then my current Z-sword. its called artouris sword or something. is there some catch? i dont want to upgrade my weapon and then not being able to use it as it is low low damage crap. can you upgrade those new made weapons too?... i do love it
i presume there is a boss behind white fog inside that huge building i opened doors to. what boss is it? will i be able to summon someone to give me a hand therE? or do i do it at bonefire? i would prefer npc to be honest.0 -

Certain Boss souls are used to create Unique weapons. Sifs in particular can make two variations of that sword and a shield. The sword won't be any real use for your build if you are going mainly STR but the shield however is awesome for a STR build so you might want to look into it.
You need 34 STR to use it but if you have that there's no better shield in the game, bar Havels which requires 50 STR. If you want to make the shield just get any shield to +10 and that blacksmith can make it with Sifs soul. If you are going to do it I recommend upgrading a light shield which should require less titanite to get to +10!
For this boss, you can summon solaire. His summon sign is half way up the stairs on the blacksmith side of the main hallway before the boss! I won't say anything about the boss but report back and let us know how you get on!! 0 -

Gentleman like always! Cheers!
Good thing I did not just upgraded so, but the news of good shield gave me a boner. I am still using balder shield! I was planing on upgrading silver knights shield, but now I will just get that one from sifs soul.
I am between 3 armour sets now. Black armour, silver knights armour and I can buy some sort of large armour? The one that blacksmith sells. I love blac armour set, but it is so heavy and I can only use my Z-sword with it. I got 40str and I can start using Demons machete, but it puts me over half load. I might look in to silver knights set for now and try that machete.
Somehow I am really not looking forward to that boss.. This is second time people in here tell me to get bac here after that boss.
something tells me I will die and die a lot there 0 -

If so, is there any fast way to get to first blacksmith? Or will I need to go through all those damn death traps in Sen's fortress?
In sens if you jump across the gap to the tower at the top of the screen here, and make your way down to the bottom you will find a key that will activate a shortcut from the top of sens to the bottom
The shortcut is two cages in the next tower you come across if you were to continue on to the right in the screenshot.
It means you can actually run from Anor Londo to the Parish fairly easily and then homeward bone back to the bonfire. This is how I always did it pre-patch.... but thats changed. To be honest I would say the trip isn't worth it as without wanting to spoil anything you would be better off killing the boss of the area you are in first
O&S is definitely the best fight in the game alright but they didn't have the same impact on me. Everything I had read before release had built them up so much in my head and then to kill them first time was very underwhelming.
Maneaters was much more intense for me and a much harder fight first time around. I think that's why as much as I now love Dark, I still have fonder memories of Demon's in my head as the difficulty lived up to the hype that first time around and it crushed me over and over.
I'm going to try my best to not read any new info outside of trailers for DS2. I managed to do it for the DLC and was delighted I did. Going to be hard though.0 -
Okay so, I killed those 2 guys there. I did it solo from second try. First time I stupidly pinned myself in to the wall and got tea baged. It was fun. Is that the boss I was support to kill?
Anyway, what's next? Anything for me to do here?0 -

Fair play. Tough fight that.
Use the elevators at the back of the room you fought those to find a bonfire and a chamber behind it. Go in there and get something important.0 -

Btw I am still confused on that shortcut back to blacksmith. Is it patched now? Or you can still use it?
Oh sorry, no it still works as it should. You will receive an item once you go up the elevators behind the boss chamber and what I said should make more sense. There would have been no point making the long trip back 0 -

Aye. I beaked out while cooking and decided to check what was behind the door. I have to say it was.... Quite in to your face lol. So now I get what this item about. So is there still something for me to do here or do I move on? And if move on, where do I go next?0 -

Warp back to Firelink and head into the big swimming pool like area just behind the bonfire! You can also warp directly to the blacksmith in the parish now!
Fair play on the O&S kill, they usually give people trouble! What level are you btw?
Cheers. I am level 70 now. 40str and 37 endu, 20vitality too I think.
It was a nice fight, but it was all in being carefull, taking time, minding surroundings etc. I am using that giant set. It looks sexy and its stats are even sexier. Still my old trusty +10 zweihander. I wonder if I will ever swap this weapon. It just makes baby Jesus cry 24/7.
I did managed to make that aurtoris shield with Sif soul, but the sad thing is the bastard is 16stone. I can't have it and still maintain half load. I am currently at 131 poise, is that good?
Btw I have still not explored that ghost place down there. Haven't even been in valley of drakes too. Should I not explore there forst before continuing?0 -

Giant's is probably the best heavy set in the game. It has great defensive stats and its weight isn't as bad as most of the other heavy sets. You can't go wrong with it! Are you using Havel's ring and the ring of favour and protection to increase your equip load? They should be your two rings on that set-up! 131 poise is massive, I'm not 100% as I can't remember the break limits off the top of my head but you should be able to take a hit from pretty much anything now without being staggered.
It's good you've stopped at 40 STR. Diminishing returns kick in after 40 and unless you want to use Havel's shield there's no real point going above 40. Endurance is the same, after 40 your stamina doesn't go up it just increased your equip load further which isn't not really worth it!
Well once you've talked with Frampt in Firelink you have a choice to make on where to head next. You need to collect the Lord Souls, so it's either head to the Duke's Archive at the beginning of Anor Londo, head into the catacombs just off of firelink, go to New Londo beneath firelink or head down to Lost Izalith past the lower blighttown Bell!
You can do them in any order really but I would probably recommend the Duke's Archives first! If you have the DLC make sure you go and kill the Hydra in darkroot and save Dusk from the Crystal Golem behind it before heading into the Archives!0 -
