Raw64life said:So is there any penalty for killing certain NPCs that would affect a NG+? I figure since I'm about to beat the game I might as well get their loot since I wont be needing them any longer.

Insaniac said:I just got my second copy of HSM from Griggs. As a pure int sorc this spell is awesome. I wonder, does anyone know if it works against hidden body/fog ring users?
Also, I always feel boss when I single-handedly protect my co-op summoner from an invader

rogerroger22 said:This video shows how I did it (not my video, but the tactic I used).
They respawn, but the next bonfire is right behind them pretty much.
But what I did
- take the path on your right - the one on the right won't get a line of sight to you (or shouldn't)
- jog up the arch towards them, shield down
- when at the top, roll into the wall towards the one on your right - do not block, ever. I actually unequipped my shield because holding L1 is so natural for me now
- when he draws his sword, back track to the arch - and he will jump to his death trying to follow you
- repeat for the other one if desired, or run around the corner to the next bonfire
I died for 2 hours straight on this grumbling "fucking impossible" until I decided to try it without a shield.
that place is a nightmareSeraphis Cain said:Getting ready to head back into Tomb of the Giants, both to nab the ring down there and grind against the babby skeletons for a while. Not looking forward to it. :lol
Not if you get that helmet that produces light like the lantern. Then it becomes like any other zone, except you can't run everywhere (walking make it easier to not accidentally pull 3+ all-4s skeletons.darkwing said:that place is a nightmare
ThingontheFloor said:In regards to the Black Knight Halberd, for anyone using it, is it worth upgrading? Is there a way to increase the stat bonuses on it? Right now it only at a D for STR so it feels like it wont be a viable option for later in the game. Right now its destroying, but I dont want to put too much into upgrading it if its not worth it.
That's what I was thinking too. It's particularly important with "unique" weapons like the Black Knight Halberd because you can't ever change the upgrade path. The highest you can go is +5.33-Hit-Combo said:From what I've noticed, unless you change the path of the upgrade, stats mods remain the same.
If I remember correctly he was waiting for the dragon to land on the bridge to cut his tail off.mrklaw said:in the speedrun youtube video, the guy stands on the bridge near the red dragon and consumes his 'souls of undead soldier'. Why? This is a guy who is equipping weapons while going through a fog door to save precious seconds, so he wouldn't do anything without a reason. Is there a stat/damage benefit to holding onto lots of souls?
I know!DigitalDevil said:I can't believe we're already at OT3.

I haven't gotten to this point so I'm not sure, but have you tried the other kind of jump (pressing circle while running)?IrishNinja said:crap, think i posted in the wrong thread - hope this one doesn't get locked up just yet!
GODDAMMIT.
wasted like an hour trying to get the Iaito - i know the location, can't make the leap! i watched a handful of YT vids as well; even stripped down, i can't get that kinda air - i just fall in front of it and either perish or land on the bridge below, half-dead.
i'm holding circle to get a bit of momentum, then tapping forward + L2 for the leap, but it doesnt clear the distance, regardless of what angle i jump from (left, right, or off the small plank slightly stand out). how do you do this?

I haven't looked at upgrading armor and shields much, but I'll definitely check those out!StMeph said:Silver Knight Shield, Crimson robe set, Giant Armor are pretty good uses for it, I think.
Insaniac said:Can you NG++? Like could I eventually accumulate a ton of X spell?
KAOz said:Tapping forward and L2? Why not making a regular jump? You know, hold circle, start running, then tap circle to jump?
StMeph said:That's the leap attack; you just need to jump. Hold circle to run, and -- while running -- press circle again to jump.

Well I still have quite a few shards to pick up from the crow at least.StMeph said:Good luck. Twinkling Titanite's the game's rarest resource. Be prepared for mind-numbing farming.
Quadratic said:I just got the game yesterday. Any idea if the guide is still available to buy? I've been looking all over online retailers and they are completely sold out. I don't think any copies even made it to Canada. Is there any good online guides that I can check out that are good?
