    Just bossed my way through Sens Fortress. Only cried twice.

    In Anor Londo now and I'm really nervous about O&S.

    Best boss fight in the game (haven't played the DLC), it's probably the highlight of it tbh, you still have a bit to go if you just arrived Anor Londo is a fairly big area and there's some optional side quests.

    The Lautrec reveal was amazing. Definitely one of the best parts.

    I didn't find him that hard, just take out the skeletons early with a divine weapon to stop them respawning and wade into him with everything you've got , run when he does that big magic attack. use the pillar to keep distance.

    The bonfire in Sen's Fortress is ridiculous, there's no way you would know it was there unless you were told.

    You'd probably find it eventually if it wasn't for the fact there's a giant throwing massive firebombs at you! I found it through messages though if you're playing offline you'd have a job finding it

    I just made it through Sens earlier today, didn't even have to touch the boss, Tarkus took him down by himself barely breaking sweat, shame he's not around for any of the other bosses!

    There's a tower near where you fight the boss, his armour is brilliant too if you want to tank up, got me through a few scrapes later on

    So I'm in AOTA and it just takes forever to kill the stone guardians with the +10 Uch.

    Should I just avoid them and move on. Or should I change the Uch to lightning?

    I'm jumping between three characters at the moment and sometimes go back to a couple older ones for some pvp.

    They have a high resistance to slash/thrust weapons and fire/lightning. Probably best to avoid them or just keep whittling them down slowly.

    Playing through this at the moment - Im avoiding them.
    There is a short cut
    if when you cross the bridge stay right and do a big loop all around the area, slide down the bank to the bridge, no one attacks you (normally)

    Some really tough bosses in the area too.

    Does anyine know is there many people using the PvP area? I tried to use it last night but couldnt get any games?

    Not really, it's used more for organised fights than random ones. Current pvp hotspots are The Burg and Township I believe. And the forest but you might not want to go down that road.

    I spent half an hour waitig in the place the first time I played it and didnt get a single fight, never bothered with it again after that..

    The Stone Guardians are one of the toughest enemies in the game, avoid where possible but its well worth exploring the woods as you can find their armour set which is one of the best in the game

    He is easy if you go in late in the game, the catacombs is an odd area, is ridiculously hard if you're a new player and don't have a divine weapon, yet you can breeze through it later. There's a great shortcut you can take that skips most of it. Pinwheel's backstory gave me the sads :( It's well worth watching the lore videos on youtube when you finish it, the amount of backstory that isn't very obvious is crazy.
