+ Show Spoiler + He like, eats the ground and then I do what I normally do with my terrible cleric, I shove my Morning star (+4!) up his ass. Sure it took awhile but...I dunno, was happy for the souls | ||

As long as you are clearing around the Firelink Shrine or the Darkroot Garden, you'll have a blacksmith on hand to do your repairs (the firelink one is close to the entrance of the londo ruins). You don't really need a box until you want to set your bonfire to something further, but when you do it will be insanely useful. Repair powder is mainly for oh-shit-my-weapon-broke-and-im-mid-boss moments otherwise it sounds crazy expensive to buy that stuff whenever you want to repair. | ||

If you're really wanting a lot of it I'd suggest joining the forest covenant as they give you a thing that summons you anytime there's someone there. Most people have the fog ring (doesn't allow you to lock on to the character) and will stab you in the back then switch to the lightning spear and ram it down your throat. I've also been ganked by 2/3 people spamming soul arrow a few times. Not fun either. | ||

Tried google but no go; I'm at lost here. Giving smiths embers just unlocks a new ascension option. So if you give them the divine ember, then you can turn a +5 weapon into a divine weapon at the smith; then you can keep upgrading yourself to +10. Large ember should let you turn a normal +5 into a normal +6 at the smith; then you keep upgrading yourself. If you don't have a +5 weapon already then you won't see any weapons listed under the ascension options. I think. Also, I was pretty disappointed with divine :-( I don't really understand the holy / unholy damage modifier. I made a divine spear that was supposed to have more attack overall than my regular winged spear, but the winged spear actually did more damage. I just used the divine spear + Show Spoiler + in the catacombs to keep the skeletons dead... Though they stopped coming back to life at some point, maybe after killing the boss, not sure. | ||

So basically you're saying there is no point keeping embers, and should just give them all to the smith? Speaking of which, how many smiths can take embers, and if yes, are they all the same or provide different types of upgrades? | ||

Divine weapons prevent skeletons from reassembling in the Catacombs. | ||

My point was that my divine did less damage than it looked like it should, so (I think) after I killed the boss and the skeletons stopped reassembling anyways, my divine weapon was pretty useless. @Fishball -- there's no reason to hang on to embers. Certain smiths do certain upgrades, so if you have an ember, you just have to find the smith that will take it to unlock that upgrade path. If you read the item description of the ember, too, it should tell you exactly what upgrade path it unlocks. | ||

The damage for the ascended weapons should reset to their base damage when you upgrade them. You should have been able to see those stats when you were upgrading. | ||

When I fought him, he just fell off himself haha. I got under and was attacking him when he suddenly did a back jump and fell right off. I had a good laugh.  | ||

I summoned Knight Solaire for that fight and I was so utterly disappointed... he got owned in like 15s and did no damage. Good thing Gaping Dragon is so easy though. | ||

Am I the only one that died a lot on Gaping Dragon? + Show Spoiler + As long as he just did the thing where he pulls up then slams into the ground and lets you hit him I was fine, but after a few goes he would start doing other stuff, like chasing me around really quickly, swiping at me, and one time he did the acid puke thing. I was level 21 at the time, so he would kill be pretty quickly if I got caught in anything >.> After a while I bought the item that adds lightning damage to your weapon from that vendor right before the boss, and that let me kill him quickly enough that he never did anything other than the big flopping move I guess. I don't know -- it seemed like if you kill him quickly it's easy, but if he starts doing other stuff I found it pretty difficult at the time -.- But yeah, Knight Solaire was useless. He helped a lot on the gargoyles, but did nothing here. | ||

He helped a lot on the gargoyles, but did nothing here. For me, I just kept strafing around its side shooting Heavy Soul Arrows and Soul Arrows. The only damage I took was the tail whips, which I literally stood there and took the hit. The Gargoyle(s) boss didn't last more than 30 seconds, and I didn't even get hit. A lot of people say magic in Dark Souls is somewhat inferior compared to Demon Soul's, but I strongly disagree. More of a hassle by splitting out the Fire Spells, but it's still very viable. Still somewhat early in the game for me, but I intend to bring my Demon Soul's build over and see how it goes at the end. I really wish the game would promote a bit more PvP though. | ||
