Abuse your TV settings or use Cast Light


I think one of the necromancers in catacombs drops a Skull Lantern you can use to light the place up. I THINK thats how i got it. Either that or you pick it up somewhere in the Giants place itself.

I'm nearing the end of the Depths. How hard is the Gaping Dragon? Oh and I have the Drake's Sword for now, is there another really shield/Sword I should invest in getting anywhere close to where I am? Oh and I never got any magic except miracles, where do I get Pyro :/ ? I'm a Knight btw.


Gaping Dragon is a cakewalk.

FDS can last you a while longer. You can either start upgrading other stuff if you have enough titanite, upgrade the FDS with dragon scales, or try to get one of the weapons off the Black Knights. By now, you probably won't have enough strength for a lot of weapons better than the Drake sword by now. Personally, I used the Drake Sword up until I found the Lightning Spear in Sen's Fortress, and the Dragon Tooth in Anor Londo. The Dragon Tooth is pretty awesome for fights where you can go all out, but requires 50 strength (same as the axe you get for cutting Gaping Dragon's tail off); 360 base damage. I upgraded the Lightning Spear to +5 and I'm still using it near the end of the game. I never got a sword from the Black Knights, and I haven't farmed enough titanite to fully upgrade anything else, so it seems like that's one of the best things out there aside from rare drops.

While we're on the topic though, I feel like there should be a better option out there than +5 Lightning Spear or Dragon Tooth. I likely won't go out of my way to get a new weapon before I finish the last couple bosses (Bed of Chaos, the bosses in Catacombs and Tomb of Giants, and the final boss), but for NG+ does anyone have any advice on what, if anything, I should focus on getting and upgrading, and where I should farm for the mats to upgrade it? Low dex, faith, int, 50 strength.

Woah just beat the Gaping Dragon on first try. That guy is slow as shit, easiest boss in the game so far for me. Heck even the tutorial boss was harder... BTW thanks scribble!

ydeer you'll get the pyro weapon when you rescue the pyro dude in the depths and meet him back at Firelink.

I used to think Gaping Dragon was the easiest (pretty long as well thanks to my sucky weapon) but then I visited good old Pinwheel on my newer cleric.

Unlike the first time, because I bashed him to fuck with my occult club +1 it was easy to keep track of him

and bash him some more

Just killed Stray Demon on my newer character. Man, life is so much fucking easier when you aren't using blunt weapons...now to make a Lightning Uchi and get some pvp going

every single time I've flown back to Firelink into the nest I ALWAYS walk straight off the edge...

and now I just got gangbanged by the shitty zombies and lost dem souls [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

This post was only a couple pages back. No one reads what I write

Quick link:
Pyromancy Flame
Laurentius of the Great Swamp is the guy you're looking for.

Basically if there is any in game information you want to look up, the two Dark Souls wiki sites would cover the majority of it.

Yeah he's the barrel guy

Check out http://darksouls.wikidot.com/covenants. I first joined Warriors of Sunlight for the miracle Lightning Spear which is pretty awesome. Then I dabbled and went to Blade of the Darkmoon for some PvP action and TO HUNT DOWN THE GUILTY

THE GUILTY SHALL PERISH

I don't think it's necessary to talk to him to have him "appear" in Firelink Shrine (although I don't understand the logic why you would not talk to him in the first place, lol), but I can't be sure.

If you head towards the room filled with water in Firelink Shrine, he is on your immediately left, sitting on the floor, before you actually enter that room. Basically behind one of those broken walls near the bonfire. You can't miss him.

If he isn't there, then I guess you'd need to go back and talk to him after all.

Wait, you can summon knights to help you? how exactly? and does it only work in human form?


Yes, same as Demon Souls. You can summon players to help you only when you're in human form. Same for NPC's. I thought you already knew about this.

Here is a detailed guide.
http://darksoulswiki.wikispaces.com/Bell Gargoyle



Why would I know this? Ive only been in human form for a matter of seconds at most lol. So when you're in human form you see some kind of signs before bosses that will make you be able to summon those knights? Did that exist in Demon's Souls too?

I mean obviously I knew about summoning other players and so forth, but had no idea about that.


STOP BEING SUCH A NOOB SHAUNI

do you play on xbox or ps?



I'm on PS3. I kinda prefer not to read too much about it cause it removes some of the mysteries and discoveries. Man that gargoyle battle was too easy with the knights. I just went human, clicked both signs and stood and watched the battle. They totally did it on their own...

I also mistakenly killed that merchant at borg, but apparently you got his key by killing him where a friendly sorcerer was trapped. Now, was that an important merchant in some way, could you resurrect him by talking to the priest?
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

ok nvm then i dont have a ps3
so multiple people helped you? i thought there would only be one guy.

yeah I know what you mean, sometimes i feel like i read too much cause it takes away a bit of the atmosphere, it is more tense when you dont know whats ahead of you, but then again it just irks me so much that I might do something wrong.

As far as I know you cant bring anyone back from the dead, if you kill someone he stays dead. (except for all the enemies of course, lawl)

FUCK the Tomb of Giants. Played the whole way with only 1 point in int so I can't cast Light, and I have not yet found a lantern. I Love Dark Souls so much, but there are a few bits here and there that aren't challenging, just horribly annoying. This and the stupid archers in Anor Londo can suck every dick.

Edit: The lack of any close bonfire really doesn't help

^You'll find an NPC down there who does something nasty to you. Afterward, you'll find a lantern within seconds. Make sure not to kill the NPC though, as he sells stuff. Tell him you're not a cleric.

2 bosses left in the game. I've been going around killing NPCs no longer useful to me just for fun at this point. And if it's patches I will kill him on sight.

Sorry for the noob question, but what exactly is the difference between classes besides their starting stats/gear? Is there any difference in attacks, or equipment they can wear, or skills they can learn? The progression seems pretty nonlinear.

Starting stats and gear are the only differences. Your warrior can learn any spell and your sorcerer can wield any weapon.

In general, that is correct. However, just going to quote myself here.

To those who just started the game (or everyone really), I thought I'd share this. There is a "best class" to start with, depending on your goal with stats. Some classes will achieve those goals faster than other classes.

Anyways, I just made a level 1 Bandit, since I'm so god damn lonely with my Mage and I just want to play with someone


Go try and play with the calculator.

God damn it, no one at Undead Burg tonight.
Someone come offer yourselves to be summoned

edit: wtf, the moment I type up this post, 2 signs appeared, after 20 minutes of nothing.

edit 2: and my helper gets vanquished...

edit 3: help! Summoned him thrice more and thrice vanquished. Trying to rush Havel at the bottom of the tower instead of the Taurus boss

edit 4: haha, everyone got 1 shot by Havel. Some dude just messaged me "what the heck was that?" lol.
