It mentions that perhaps, but doesn't really explain properly. The fact that you need to be at bonfire to assign spells for example, I must have missed that part.

You missed the menu where it says "Attune Magic" ?

I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory.

My equip load is 42 out of 48 and that is just me carrying my armor, shield, 2 weapons, estus flasx, and a few more items. I can't get it down to 50% Also this is going to sound dumb but for the PS3 what do you press to run?
Missed your post earlier, but I posted it on the top of this page.
 
Does level effect game AI or something? What the fuck is going on? I'm suddenly having a fucking SHIT TON of trouble. In that farming spot... the mage would never hit me... now constantly dying there. What the fuck. Can't even get through it now.

I got all the dudes except the guy with the axe and red shield with the spider on it... and he got me. Seems to be dodging a ton more than usual and not giving any space at all. What gives. I had no trouble killing him before. I farmed a bit, killed him a couple times... now? Can't clear any of them out. Ughhhhh (And this is with farming a level or two and upgrading my weapon/pyro thing)

thanks man, now i'm going to try.

...
wait. doesn't she move to the firelink shrine?
geez, how the hell i'm supposed to buy things like firestorm or to upgrade my glove if she doesn't move from there. =|

she doesnt. She stays there the whole time
 
WEGGLES said:
I didn't go crazy either...

what the fuck. 3 more deaths. The mage. Never hit me before. Now hits me enough to let the others catch up... then when I get to "the spot" they drop down but don't fall. idk what I'm doin wrong.

You're not doing anything wrong. The AI is dynamic.

My problem is that now that I'm spending more time towards the mid-to-end game, I'm wanting to do more PvP so I have either the darkmoon ring or forest ring on. This isn't too bad though until you consider that I also want to farm stuff, and so need to have the covetting ring on as well. From really, really did wonders balancing the ring of favor and protection... It seems to be such a great utility ring until you being to really realize how limiting it is.

Fuck.

I can't decide. :P

Basically what I've largely been using it for is its extra 20% reduction in equip burden which I stack with Havel's Ring. It allows me to wear Ornstein's full set and keep total burden under 50%. But I'm only a couple END points from needing just Havel's Ring for that.

Im on what seems to be the final boss. Is there any stuff i should do on this playthrough before I beat it? I figured I should get all the firekeepers souls and upgrade my flask all the way since those will carry over. How about stuff like giving embers to blacksmiths, will that carry over? Anything else i should do?

Upgrade your important bonfires to +15 flasks
 
DSP was defeated by Blight Town, and that part isn't even that hard.

Haven't really touched this the last two days...tomb of the giants or lost izalith? Hmm wonder why I can barely turn it on now. :\

I do really want to get NG+ though, I might as well fight through it now.
 
finalozzo said:
Really game? REALLY?
and OF COURSE i can't teleport near that place, of course.

geez, the bug of ng+ and now this. fuck this game.
why are you made about the ng plus thing? enemies late game kill you in a few hits even with 50 vit on normal XD

Id say do Lost Izalith first. But I was really not a fan of Tomb of the Giants.

Blighttown is like 60 seconds away from Firelink Shrine. Why is that bad?

Actually, you can just warp to Chaos covenant. Quit your bitching!
 
I don't think the tutorial explains that there are actually THREE ways of casting magic (pyro glove, talisman and a staff). That's something that I only picked up recently snce I never cared much for magic.

Wrong answer :( I kill skeletons with the Occult Club and they come back to life. Sigh, wasted my only White Titanite Chunk upgrading it also.
Wha? I'm sure I've killed skellies using the one I got off a drop before, though they were all outside the catacombs...that thing scaled higher with faith than divine. Well if I'm wrong, sorry dude swore it worked :/

Just teleport to the spider lady?

QisTopTier said:

I don't think that's a bug. There is clearly a pit there and when the player does enough damage to the claw, the demon loses its grip and falls down into the pit.

I still have the post-Anor Lando bosses to do (and Sif) but it wouldn't surprise me if

Ornstein is the toughest fight in the game. He deals lightning damage, the range on his spear is just filthy in his second phase, and he also gets some one-hit kill attacks.
I wonder if the people I summoned got pissed when they saw I was intent on killing Smough first.
 
Even though the Armor of Favor sucks compared to Havel's Armor, I use it because it looks 200x cooler.

If you do Lost Izalith first then Tomb of Giants becomes a joke :) Just beat the game today and did all of Tomb of Giants last in about 15 mins.

If only that fight wasn't so easy with summons. Mine took 30 seconds to kill with a friend.

Did you start as a knight?

Didn't seem dynamic when I did it like 6 times in a row before :s

And the dude with the axe fucking one hits me now. He didn't before. What the heck. I'm baffled right now. I've leveled up, increased defenses, better weapon, shield and armor stronger magic... more trouble than I've ever had with this game.

Leveling up doesn't change the fact that enemies with good weapons can still do a ton of damage.

Is there any chart or something that shows when you get new atunement slots?
Early on, every 2 levels.

EDIT (from the guide):

0-9: 0
10-11: 1
12-13: 2
14-15: 3
16-18: 4
19-22: 5
23-27: 6
etc.

You are talking about a monster standing in lava, that is made of lava, that spews lava out of him filling the zone with lava whos feet also touch the ground below cause he is fucking huge, falling down and dying in a pit of lava?
 
Oh man, running around in Havel's Armor is fucking great. It's about time I got some decent loot.
 
Zeliard said:
Question: does the Sif battle have any bearing at all on the Forest covenant? Cause I'm part of that covenant now but I haven't met Sif yet.

No, you have to kill Sif to progress in the game.

What does the lava have to do with anything? Monster falls down pit. Is dead.
I haven't done that fight "legit" but I'm sure there's a dfferent death animation when not doing this trick.

Oh yea, the ones outside the catacombs don't come back to life anyway, lol. It's ok, I'm just rushing the mages since they don't respawn.

Skellies only respawn because of the mages using necromancy. Kill mage = no more respawning skeletons.
 
Fighting the Baldur Knights again with only a whip reminds me why I love Dark Souls. Great enemies.

I think the whip is already my favorite weapon in the game. It gives you good reasons to go 1 handed and 2 handed even if you are not using a shield. Belmont run will be funner than I expected.

dude, do you think that i choose to do this? It's a fucking bug, now i have to play at ng+ difficulty at my first run.
 
Ceaseless Discharge thing looks weird because it looks like he jumps forward and his hand grabs the ledge. Does he do that during the normal fight? Haven't faced that guy yet.

He doesn't need to hang on to the ledge on the normal fight.

is there a way to get out of anor lando? I want to get back to firelink before taking on this boss.

Backtrack to where the gargoyles dropped you off. Talk to the garg there and it takes you back to Sen's. From Sen, take the cage down (assuming you got the key).
