You don't have to go through the whole area each time you try Quelaag. Yeah, I looked up every single bonfire location in guides as I was going through the game because i quickly realized how key they are to not frustrate you into oblivion and some of them are really hard to find (sen fortress one, the one down in the catacombs as well). | ||

its one thing to put a treasure chest behind a fake wall, but when your putting the motherfucking SAVEPOINT behind a fake wall then you and I have a problem :p I usually avoid playing this game online because I have awful memories of playing the prequel online. | ||

On June 10 2013 21:49 Skilledblob wrote: well you have to admit you only miss the blighttown bonfire if you didnt bother checking out the swamp before going to queelag I did check out the swamp. Every single place in that swamp. Except for the one edge where the bonfire is. The loot thingies in the dark do a very good job in directing you around it. So i went left, found the stuff there, even the secret stuff. Then i went right, killed the giants, and went up the wheel. During all of this i died a few times, and had to kill millions of annoying flies which don't get hit half the time because you can't aim up. I always assumed that a bonfire MUST be around the next corner, so i kept on pressing forward up the wheel. At that point i was getting more and more frustrated and basically quit the game for two weeks because it was no fun doing the same thing over and over again only to die 5m next to where you last were, and periodically losing all your souls because from time to time you fall down somewhere in blighttown. Note that i also hadn't found the stairs in firelink and thus could not upgrade my estus flask and did not have the ritual of kindling, so i was left with 10 level one charges which were usually empty at some point in the swamp. In my opinion, not looking up the places the bonfires are at is simply not worth the possible frustration if you miss one, which you will if you don't look them up. | ||

The only way I can see someone miss that bonfire is if he used to shortcut through the drake valley | ||

This lead me exactly around that bonfire towards quelaag and the wheel thing. After that i just followed the trail i had already taken, since i knew that one, and the swamp was full of fucking annoying flies each time. I assumed that the bonfire would be somewhere up the wheel, always one step further then where i got last time. | ||

( I'm not talking about the one behind the invisible wall, but the one right in the middle of the swamp ). The only way I can see someone miss that bonfire is if he used to shortcut through the drake valley I think it's quite easy to miss actually. The swamp is very inhospitable because of the poison, so I would reckon most people try to run through it, and the spot is obviously not immediately visible, you specifically have to look into the tunnel or you might miss it. I remember the first time I got there, took me quite a while to find it when I got down there. | ||

And not only that, but the first few times through Shen's Fortress are absolutely BRUTAL. Even now I breathe a sigh of relief when I get past the last set of guillotines and can make it to the bonfire. | ||

I was going to comment that I don't remember that many bonfire's behind hidden walls and stuff (only 1 of the top of my head in the forest - unless you count the ones behind the hidden door in the great hollow), but maybe I just don't know about them lol. Yeah, the rooftop where you first see boulders being thrown at you, if you go to the edge on the right, and slowly walk off, you'll land at a bonfire. It puts you past the last set of swinging guillotines right before stepping outside. | ||

The bonfires were a little iffy...not to mention on how to get some of the weapons. A lot of shit is just very cryptic which can be frustrating. Even though I haven't beaten the game yet I have still read the wiki and the Dark Souls reddit for story tidbits. Pretty much the only way you will know about some of the stuff, the game is not gonna tell you (unless you count a couple lines in item descriptions...I find the lore pretty interesting but it's just not out there in the game for you to read). As for me, I went ahead and got a Lightning Uchi and the Furysword. Should be enough to get me through the rest of the game. Actually got pretty close to beating O&S the first few times...just once I kill one and I get caught in that huge attack. Hate one-hit kills. I just summoned another sunbro and we took them down. I guess not as satisfying as it could've been but oh well. | ||

THen I looked up stuff to find extras after. | ||

I thought you could only invade someone of higher soul level, however now i an currently doing a soul level 1 run, and i still keep on being invaded whenever i am alive. By people who almost certainly are NOT soul level 1. I don't really see anyone going "hey, lets invade someone in the depths at level 1, that will be fun!" Honestly, i find the whole thing to just be an incredibly annoying nuisance. I am playing a singleplayer game. I have no interest in your bad PvP. My character is not built for PvP. Why do you insist on sending some asshole to kill me whenever i kindle a bonfire? And even if i beat that guy who has build for PvP and equipped himself for PvP, and probably also has experience with PvP since apparently he is one of the guys doing PvP since he is invading me, you are going to keep on sending more and more of them until i finally die to one. Should i really just suicide after i do that just so i get rid of being alive and don't risk dying to some stupid spirit in a place where retrieving my soul is harder? Why would you even make such a system which is obviously based on having people who want to do PvP and build for PvP preying on people who just want to do their PvE in peace. There is really no point in having this system in place since it is really only there to benefit those few people who like annoying other people and generally being assholes. | ||
