He gets Honor points.

Hmm, ok, well, not as good as souls, I guess, but it's good that he got something. :/

It feels like everyone is dieing/going hollow after you get the lordvessel, firelink shrine is starting to look empty.

Spoiler

crestfallen warrior leaves to new londo, goes hollow.
Laurentius goes to blighttown, goes hollow.(I really liked him. ;_
Logan goes to dukes archive, goes insane/hollow.
Lautrec goes full asshole and leaves
Anastacia is killed by aforementioned asshole. (for a while at least)
Rhea is either murdered by her dick brother, or goes to dukes archive for some stupid reason, goes hollow.
Solaire gets taken over by a chaos bug, goes insane(not hollow! woot! I missed a bug on accident )

I'm feeling sad. ;_;

Yeah, I thought that was a very poetic way of showing how horrible the world is in the game. I really liked having a full camp in Firelink, then it was just slowly stripped down to even less than when you started.

A little easter egg I noticed. While taking the waterwheel down in Blighttown, if you look across to the other wheel you'll notice something inside that is making it run.

spending time with NPCs by talking to them in various areas is the only thing that can save most of them, it's a pretty remarkable way of subtly showing how humanity withers away without companionship.

 

[BackdoorBeauty]

I'm guessing the archer that drops Pharis bow fell off a cliff. lol

This fucking happened to me. I start my game and suddenly I get +2000 souls for nothing. I walk back into the forest and the entire place is aggro. I run up to the cat with all those guys chasing after me, try to speak some sense into her! But she says I'm a horrible hollow, and the congo line catches up to me and I'm toast.

Someone said to go directly to blighttown directly after joining that covenant?

Anywhoo, I started a new game. I'm blowing through the first parts like butter..

twisting bridge in anor londo. lower as far as possible... you need to have either killed gwynevere or have dark moon seance ring. either way, statue behind bonfire will vanish, giving you access to his fog gate.

I love how the NPCs are used in this game. Almost everything the NPCs say is significant in some way.

Especially poor "Crestfallen Warrior". I just wanted to ring the bells and help him snap out of his funk.

Spoiler

I felt like shit after realizing he was the Hollow that you fought in the beginning of New Londo. He was the last of my NPCs to leave.

Although when I attacked him after starting a throwaway game, I thought it was hilarious when he said "I may be crestfallen, but..." something something. The name reminded me of Persona 4 NPCs.

Oh does it have to do with the lever on the bridge? Every time I pulled it it said "Contraption does not move". Never figured out what it did.

 

[Papercuts]

Nah, it's the big twisting one in the middle. You raise it up to make a shorcut, but you can actually lower it TWICE, which gets you to him.

 

[sixghost]

I don't think it's that particular lever. You get that message when you try to pull a lever that brings a lift to your level when the lift is already at your level. I think you just have to push the thing in the very middle of the gargoyle bridge a 2nd time. The same thing that you interacted with to lower it the first time.

Yes to the guy below me. Fighting either Gwyndolin or Gwynevre make her hostile. I think she drops a firekeeper soul though, so if you are about to finish your game, you might as well.

 

[Zeliard]

Does fighting him make the firekeeper at the Anor Lando bonfire go hostile?

spent over an hour understanding the area, finally finding that damn invisible bow user, went toe-to-toe, was doing so good keeping her from the cliff...

Meh, what annoys me is that i thought i would be able to go finish stuff up after beating the last boss. Like the game would turn sandbox until i was ready to go onto NG+. now with other stuff coming out i may be done with Dark Souls for a while

I must have gotten extremely lucky, people seem to have a ton of trouble killing Pharis without knocking him off the cliff. I didn't even realize he was a unique enemy until he was dead.

For me what happened is I didn't even realize I was fighting the final boss when I fought him, and when the fight was over I was just like "oooo bonfire time to warp out of here!" and then the game ended... I was really mad...

 

[Papercuts]

Does fighting him make the firekeeper at the Anor Lando bonfire go hostile?

yup! I accidentally entered the fog gate which makes the boss fight trigger, used a bone to get out, and had to kill the girl at the bonfire.

3rd best armor in the game behind stone giant armor set and havel's armor set. can't be upgraded but has very high base stats.

Ahhhhh, just beat the game. Was hoping for a bit longer ending with more cinematic, but it still felt damn good. Went with the

Dark Lord ending

, wouldn't have it any other way.

Just in time for Batman. 75 hours play time total, SL 79

The real question is with the ending you picked did you know that it's

well tbh the main motivation was to add to my animal hat collection

just realised something though.. on one of my earlier tries i killed ornstein first and he dropped the leo ring...

Leo Ornstein

:O

 

[Papercuts]

Any way to get her armor?

It looks like it's the same as the Shiny Brass set, the guide says that's in Anor Londo somewhere. She doesn't drop it though.

I also see that there's...a helmet of a mimic? Like literally a chest on your head with a tongue sticking out, really rare drop that gives +200 to item discovery, drains your hp at 5 per second, 20% boost to souls dropped, and major reduction to stamina. I must have it.

 

[duckroll]

Are you guys really such monsters that you would kill anyone or do any immoral act just for a cool piece of armor?! I thought I saw the worst in humanity in the Fallout New Vegas threads, but now I'm seeing it all over again! You sick bastards!

 

[Booshka]

Blighttown is so much easier the second time through, put on all my Gold hemmed gear with high poison resist and just got through it quickly. Game is still easy so far, we'll see if I start getting my ass kicked soon.

It is amazing how pissed of I am at the Capra Demon... I even contemplated selling the game

I am level 36 dammit. I have played 30 hours, and I have rang one bell. I have been taking my sweet time. I should not be stuck.

I have looked at the IGN video and the one from EpicNameBro and neither strategy works for me, I just die 30 fucking times.

Why do you fight in a small room. WHY?

Don't many weapons have different attacks for dashing+R1, R1, R2, etc? I know some don't, but many do.

so cool

Ooooh. I see what you mean now. There are some other forward+R1 modifications I've heard about, like if you get infected by an egg, and you let it grow to maturity. Your forward+R1 attack turns into this gross head-worm attack. Lol.

Dark Souls |OT3| of rage quitting at capra demon.

but really, hold sprint while you enter the fog.

1.) If you see Capra pulling his cleavers over his head, then just calmly run pass him

2.) If you see Capra readying for a horizontal sweep, then roll pass him

don't bother killing the dogs down there, run up the stairs and sit at the corner, kill the dogs there, Capra will pursue and he can get to your corner but he might glitch out sometimes.
