Right now I'm stuck in DLC area, one path leads to area where dragon one shots me, and the other path is to Artorias.
I certainly don't want to spoil anything, but Kalameet is supposed to kill you at this point. You could just find human help for Artorias, a lot of soul-grinders hang around that arena looking to assist others.
edit, looks like you did just that

Yea the arena is pretty sick but sometimes it's hard to find a match.. I often just resort to township invasions. :o Oolacile Township is really active for PvP which is why I'm so hesitant to kill + Show Spoiler +.

game complete! i think i never felt more ballsy after beating a (mostly) single player game. did a little ng+, but i think the fact i wont get any better items kills it for me.
You really should go play new game + more, this game is not about being an item collectathon. If you got an item before you don't need to get it again, but getting more rare upgrade materials (slabs) easily is worth it, as is having more spell copies of high level spells for spellcasters. It's like playing Diablo 2 and never going past normal because you've already seen every act.
The real dark souls starts here. (in new game +  )

I don't like the arena, it just doesn't have that tense feel to it, it's somewhat boring and then it just randomly ends.
Life is better when you only have one

dumb how it's 3 mins, and if you kill them, they come back at 100% and you're at whatever you have left from the last fight. both people should come back at 100%

Played the game for about an hour and I really like it. Except that death is really punishing in this game the combat reminds me a lot of The Witcher 2 in Dark Mode. You make a mistake, you die. I like it.
But the resolution fix seems to be bugged. When I apply it an cannot read any of the hints in game anymore  so I must play in that blurry, crappy resolution for the moment.

1.2 did not work for me. it's odd - sometimes some of the new releases work for me, and sometimes they don't (game wouldn't even open with 1.2).
i used .6 until 1.1, because every other version just wouldn't load the game lol.

Yeah, I haven't used every version either, mostly because it's all been working for me so far and I don't need to update it except for more features I don't necessarily need, waiting for 1.3 over 1.2 though. Just wanted to put out an actual page where he can find all versions rather than a direct link to a version.

Holy cow, just had the best experience with this game so far. A sunbro and I cleared the whole abyss level and rolled + Show Spoiler + with a bit of help from + Show Spoiler +. It's really fun playing in co-op, especially if the host and the summon know how to play.

What a great, great game, and what a wonderful experience playing this game. I havn't felt this about the game in a very, very long time.
I would recommend anyone to look for Dark Souls Lore videos on YT by the guy EpicNameBro, I tried reading every item description in the game but there's so much going on in terms of lore and story.
Tomorrow I take the last boss and then it's either NG+ or starting with a new mage character.

I restarted with a Pyromancer and the game is so easy with magic

is + Show Spoiler +priscilla supposed to go invisible for the whole fight? i wanted to cut her tail but she cast invisibility and i had to watch footsteps while meleeing her and i ended up killing her while she was still invisible

+ Show Spoiler +if you do enough damage to her, she re-appears. I start by shooting poison arrows at her and she'll pop out once it starts ticking a bit on her.

Holy shit, there is a arena system in the dlc area?! Hell yeah.
I managed to get a summon, Artorias was pretty easy 2v1
Everything is easy in first play through, in NG you will get punished severely if you get hit once especially getting hit by bosses.

+ Show Spoiler +fire will make her appear so if you don't use pyromancies, you can lob firebombs where her footsteps appear.
Although trying to cut her tail off is pretty hard. When I did it, it was when she wasn't trying to kill me at the start.

The arena is pretty broken in the sense that you can barely get any matches. Sometimes you go there, nobody is there to match with you. The game is better designed with invasion and summoning. Still, the lack of players contribute to a lot of these problems.

there are 4500 people online right now who are logged in right now which to me seems like more than enough. i think the problem is GFWL.
