Defensive miracles are good together with STR but If you miss hidden divine tomes for new miracles you could go the entire playthrough having only heals though.
Even so, STR will carry you through the game because it's incredibly strong.

I don't know if any of them are essential this time around. I chose Life Ring.

the fuck does that even mean
doesn't matter, none have any significance. the fire gem can be used to infuse an early weapon for some nice damage, I guess.
They are in the first area you go to after Firelink. On top of one of the towers. If I remember correctly they are near some boxes on the tower next to the dead dragon.
Main.
Bang my head it is, thanks.
Nope, sadly.
I sent the (NPC)
and he hasn't come back. Assuming this is
The game's difficulty is very gradual. Even now where I am, I haven't seen a boss who's made me wanna tear my hair out. One was frustrating me but it was because I wasn't being patient.
Thief guy to Ihrithyll
some sort of quest and I've gotta go find him? Or he dead?

Yeah, it all stacks.

Depends on what you did just around the time you sent him.
In all likelihood he's dead though 
Check the sewer with the spider ladies in that area.

This turned into a late game discussion type thread so we don't spoil anything for people in OT lol
Hmm, I explored that place like crazy. Hidden wall or hidden path?
Yeah, that's how I feel. I'll try and bump the Lore Discussion thread once I'm done (probably this weekend).
It's not really hidden, but most of us won't notice the path somehow
From the
laddersmith bonfire, instead of going to giant lord building jump down and go through the cracked wall back to final explorable part pf the prsion.
it's one of those "how the fuck did I miss this path" situation.

really wish i wasnt stuck at work right now.... cant play till 7 tonight
GAH
GAH
Hmm, so act like I'm going to the boss, but jump down before the bridge over to him? Or is it near the swamp area?
I am the same way. Never want to finish my first run. Souls games are certainly magical.
Forgot to say at the weekend.
I thought the moment you give the
to Andre was an excellent moment.
That is how you do fan service.
I thought the moment you give the
Giant's Coal
It was such a big thing in Dark Souls 1 that you could only get certain weapon infusions from certain Blacksmiths. I always wondered when playing that game whether Andre knew the Giant and this game confirmed it and treated the character amazingly well.
Oh yes,
seeing him laying there dead was rather sad as well.
Aldritch really did a number to Anor Londo
Before climbing the ladder that takes you to the bonefire you will see a broken wall, jump through it.
Yeah, I've been there a lot lol, but will look again. Will probably facepalm once I find it.
In the very bottom of that level?
Yes. where those bitches run in circles.
Oh yeah, every area is so good. That's what really makes this game shine.
CONSISTENT as fuck
Yeah, in GA atm and it's classic Dark Souls 1. Amazing.
Edit: oh man, are you kidding me with this boss run? Boss runs are the thing I'm most disappointed by in DS.
Ok, rant time. Here's why
Lothrian
- the boss run.
- he's a
two parter
beat the first part, it isn't saved. You've Gotta fight him again when you come up those enemy ridden stairs again
he gets stuck up against a wall, he teleports on top of you!
As always, the victory follows the rant. I still feel quite cheated.
To those who have beaten the game already. How long did you take and which level did you finish on? Just looking for some sort of relation, I'm 31h in now and took a glance at the progress map since I was sorta lost. Seems I have two lords + final boss and three bonus areas left.
You don't have to run up the stairs if you die - there is a very handy shortcut lol
I had about 70 hours on the clock, but that's with very careful exploration and mucking around (didn't use guides or anything).
They reduce your FP (blue) meter. You can use ashen estus flasks to refill some of it.
You "allot" your estus so some can be for health and some can be for FP.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Doesn't the blue bar refill on its own like stamina? I haven't noticed when playing as the Knight.
Doesn't refill on its own. There might be a ring that passively refills it, not sure
Thanks again.
I have been considering having a second save file to mess around with. I have never attempted a Dark Souls sorcerer or Pyromancer build (always played as a Knight). People have always warned me off using them classes saying it makes the game too difficult - but I would like a way to be able to do ranged combat without having to use bow and arrow.

Is the Firelink Greatsword any good?
