The inconsistency in graphics in this game can be a bit hu?', but damn -
is a nice looking zone. Has that feeling of atmosphere that many of the other ones are lacking.
Some of the mid-late game areas are hella cool. The initial half of the game is a bit so-so, but the latter half is impressing the hell out of me .

Nah, but the skill requirement for the fight probably just doubled.
If you don't want to do it solo I'm pretty sure there's an NPC phantom you can summon, and no end to people putting their summon sign down there to help.
Ok thanks for the heads up guys. I'll head over and do the Wharf and then come back to fight them after.

I love Pokken!
And the best is yet to come...
pretty sure it gets added to chloanne's inventory after awhile/spending enough souls

I'm scared, I'm at a fog door after going down the elevator and fighting the giant
frog/croc monsters underneath sinners rise. I went through a gate and crossed a long path to a fog door. There's a boss behind it isnt there...
lmao
there's an item that morphs you into an inanimate object as disguise. I really want to try it when someone invades me or when I go into the bell area.
It is a spell, lol.

Question from last OT:
I think I only need two more items in
The other is on the
PS: I think everyone saying the game isn't as deep as Dark Souls is playing too much too fast. I'm taking in my surroundings. Playing maybe two to three hours at a time and am loving the areas (although I'm still sore about the graphics downgrade). The only thing I'm not enjoying right now is my disconnection with Majula. Another poster put it perfectly when he said finding a new route that led back to Firelink was such a great feeling, it's a shame we can fast travel right out of the gate because I think I would feel a deeper connection to Majula if I was excited to see it again.

Forest of Fallen giants. One is on the hill above the hole where you get the fire sword. How do you get up there?
lava floor with the fire lizard scampering around. Do I need to just make a suicide run down there with the fall damage ring?

How do I get the Alva set to unlock? How much do I have to spend once I purchase the elite knight set?

Strolling along and bam boss, covetous (sp?) demon. I was surprised as the area before had no boss and I was expecting a camp fire first lol.
Easy as pie boss mind you. Think I'll setup camp here for co-op to farm some medals.

You can't get the item on the hill until extremely late in the game. You can't miss the item that gives you access to it, so just be patient for a while.
You can get access to the burning place with the salamander dudes by either equipping the cat ring and rolling off onto the barricade or by getting a key later on and opening the locked door near the entrance to the Last Giant.

I think I'm gonna have to get this to +10 to really make it worth it though. Need them chunks...
To the belfry!
Does reinforcing my staff boost my spell damage? I see it boosts my "magic damage" but I'm not sure if thats just my staff doing magic damage when i attack with it physically. I've got like 26 intelligence and its already teetering off and my magic damage is pretty meh (using starter staff)
upgrade a later staff. Stating one its crap anyway.

Here's my Sun-Bro. I'm at the last area, I don't want to go through it though and find some more areas.

Asking for some advice, first off, I know that there's certain items that I can get access to earlier through the Bonfire Ascetic, and was wondering which are recommended.
Secondly, I've been mostly a sorcerer build (at SL125) but I've been curious about Hexes and some of the DEX weapons (like the Katana), I was wondering if that would be stretching my self to thin.
And last, I still can't find a decent replacement for my starter staff, some of the other's seem more powerful but none have better casting rates.

There a door in the
scorpion ladie's room that leads to the next area. Alternatively, if you exhausted the dialogue with the NPC at the end of Heide's tower then she moves to path between there and majula, she can help you out

The only thing I've read is those bonfire ascetics mean that in new game+ you'll essentially be playing those areas as new game++. Just in case you didn't know that.

So, considering I'm well past the

A simple non-spoilery reply would be much appreciated!

Wow, I somehow managed
to kill her, see that door, and just not go in it?!
Ugh, I feel dumb.
Two items to use a bonfire ascetic for:
ng+ ring off the Skeletal Lords
southern ritual band +2 off Scorpioness
Staff:
Sunset Staff -
given by Felkin if you have the right stats (20int/20faith, or something like that), S scaling in Dark
Staff of Amana -
random drop off those homing missile lasses at the shrine, S scaling in Magic

but I only have a normal soul in my inventory and I have no clue where to go next. Went back to the boss arena and saw a crystal that, when examined, said "Alas, nothing happened" and am super confused on what to do.

Thanks so much, man!
Ok, so I'm sticking through this, and I think I'm starting to get the mechanics behind it (it is a little different from DS). Still struggling with parries, but that's ok.
My stats so far are
VGR: END: VIT: STR: DEX: ADP: all 10
ATN: 20
INT: 24
FAI: 4
I think I'm going to put enough into DEX/STR so I can wield a curved sword (like
and a decent shield, otherwise I'm just going to pump up VGR, END, ATT and INT. Any suggestions, or am I dooming myself?
Also, question,

There's a turtle knight behind a gate in the Forest of Fallen Giants, is that reachable at a later stage?

Some of the jumps needed in this game /rage
Just lost over 60k

Make the elevator leave and lure them to the hole left behind. Easy kills.
What's the best way to get souls at level 151? I'm freaking poor and need money to upgrade stuff. I think I might be too high a level though.
