What's the fastest way up to the Burg or anywhere close when I'm down in the swamps beneath Blighttown/Queelags domain?

edit: NVM, it's through the New Londo ruins.

There's a way up up the waterwheel. When you first get to the swamp level if you keep to the right you'll come across a tall load of plank heights that you get on via the waterwheel. The ladders might be a bit hard to spot but you keep going up and then out the cave into valley of drakes.

Blighttown is such a pain in ass that you should just go through the Valley of Drakes, through the cave and then down the waterwheel to the campfire and then Quelaag.

If you'd like to see some PvP vid, I made these awhile ago. I mainly focused on learning new weapons and getting good with them so excuse the quality, enjoy the music

My last video (I would have made plenty more if my PS3 didn't keep crashing. This is an accumulation of all my fights and experiences:


Iaito. Like the Uchigatana pretty much but I made this +15 and with the fire buff



Chaos Falchion:



Rapier:







Quelaag sword:



Daggers (a lot of backstabs):



And finally my first set of PvPs. Hopefully you can see the difference from Uchigatana Style 1 to 2. If I had the money I'd buy the PC version and keep making vids:

So I spent a good hour trying to fight the skeletons in the cemetery before I realized the undead burg was much easier. I am smart.

Also, 360 controller + resolution mod = awesome game is now even more awesome

That's exactly what happened to me when I first played on PS3. I was thinking to myself, "Is the game THIS hard?!" hahaha!

playing for 7 hours so far, just killed the gaping dragon in the sewer and a huge rat.

Decending a huge ladder into what looks like a swamp. Keep getting poisonned, where can I find antidote from? there are no merchants anywhere near my location... surely I don't have to walk all the way back to fire shrine?

would that be enough to run the game? skyrim and d3 run pretty ok but since the port seems to be rather meh-ish i'm not too sure it will be enough

Hm, I just spent 15 minutes doing this and I noticed that they drop lots of purple moss but for some reason, it does not heal (Toxin( which is what I keep getting poisonned with. is there a different kind of moss to get to deal with Toxin ?


edit - I just got one purple moss with white flowers on it that cures toxin buildup. Jeez, one moss in 25 mins grinding... this could take a while.

Ah toxin is a different story, tbh your best bet is to grind souls and buy the items for dealing with it. The merchant at the tunnel between lower and upper undead burg, near the depths entrance sells them.

Most of the time the blowdart guy who afflicted you with toxicity will drop the antidote as well if you quickly kill him before you die. But it's not 100%. Think I ended up with more antidotes when I was done than when I entered the location.

Finally finished dl the game and getting my gamepad to work with it pretty well. I didn't care too much about the graphics anyway, but I installed the res mod and it definitely looks nice. I've been getting super lucky too, both of the early black knights dropped the black knight sword and black knight greatsword, and the big knight in the church dropped a greatsword too(which ironically is actually an ultra greatsword, and he was wielding a mace). And then a trash balder knight parried and riposted me and I lost 5 humanity and 14k I was saving for the crest. Oh well. At least I got me some B F swords to play with.

10 hours in, just learnt how to sprint and jump. All those jump here messages make a lot more sense now.

So I finally got a controller and downloaded that resolution fix mod and I'm having an absolute blast with this game now. However, I'm starting to get the feeling that you aren't really meant to play the game as a pure spellcaster. Sometimes enemies just get too close and its hard to use magic then. Sometimes it seems easier to just use the ol' sword and board. I also really like ripostes and backstabs :3.

If you went through the sewers you should have found a Spider Shield... I haven't played in a while but I think that either prevents or slows the build-up of Toxic. Very useful when going through Blighttown to block those stupid dart blowers.

It slows it by like 50% or 65% if I remember correctly.

Edit: OP should also be updated with link to the HD textures.

I'd say magic is best kept for bosses and bigger mobs. For the trash mobs you should use your weapons.

I got a question so I got Astoras Sword and it says it does 80 psysical and 80 magic damage. Maybe the mobs are just super resistant but this sword does hardly 40-50 damage on the trash mobs in the blighttown area

Upgrade the sword.You always should try to upgrade your weapon whenever possible, since the enemies get very quickly too powerful if you haven´t kept your equipment up to date. Astoras Sword is "unique" type weapon and it is upgraded with Twinkling titanite. It is rare type of titanite but if have been lucky you might have found few of them.

And yes different enemies are resistant to different things. If your weapon says it does 100 physical dmg and 100 fire dmg dont expect it always to deal 200 damage on every hit. It depends on the enemy as well as your own stats.
