Thats the place. >_<RavenFox said:Boletarian Palace? I have a trick for defeating him.
Awesome, thanks!JudgeN said:I'm playing temple knight and I farmed him very early in the game. Like after I killed 1-1 and 1-2 boss (which were the first bosses I killed). Anyway I ran him back into the room just before you find him, that way if you die you can get your body back quick. Stock up on enfire item and move about 1/2 across the bridge and he will come after you in the room. Make sure clear the room and always always keep your shield up. When he attacks he will get stun and you can get in a quick weak attack. The only move you can't block is the shield bash which will stun you and set up for a spear up the gut (does about 3/4 of a revived life bar early in the game). When you see him about the do the shield bash keep your shield up and circle around him and riposte him in the ass. Wash rinse and repeat and you net 2k in souls and 3 full heal herbs.
Its going to take you a few practice to kill them but once you get it down you can farm the shit out of him early as a temple knight. Make sure you save up 20k souls for the nexus return spell for easy porting. And get your faith up to 14 so you can get 2 miracles. If your having trouble doing damage I think my halberd was at like +3 or 4 before I stared farming him.

There has to be,they don't just give you souls for nothing. It's best to for that guide to come out for us to find out.Doctor_No said:I've pre-ordered the book. Looking forward to it.
As far the the souls you get for killing the red and blue dragon in Boleteria, you can get 10k souls and 30K souls for using it, but there is no known usage for those particular Dragon's souls. Same goes for the soul of the Old One (you can get 200,000 souls). Unless their use is so well hidden that no one's figured it out, at this point there doesn't seem to be a use other then getting generic souls.
They only respawn a set-limit of times. The best way to kill them is to first clear the general vicinity of enemies(you can use the bow&arrow to draw enemies out so as to not startle the gecko), then use either bow&arrow or magic to hit them from a distance. This will stun them temporarily before they can run away, then run up to them immediately and keep hitting them. If you like, you can equip the thief ring to adjust the optimal distance to shoot them.
Its also best to reposition yourself while hitting them to realign their trajectory to make sure they don't fall off cliffs, etc.

Doctor_No said:Its where the two dragons are sleeping on the hill. If you get too close the Red Dragon will breath fire at you. You can either lure it away and quickly run back to get treasure, or you can shoot at it from afar with a bow&arrow. It'll take a couple hundred shots but the red dragon will fly away. Luring him out is the cheaper option, shooting at him is more expensive but takes less skill. You also get some other very good items there as well.

I just let him chase me across the palace walkway all the way to the stairs with the demons holding torches. He falls down to the bottom[instant death for him] and I get his souls and loot. No fighting no damage lol.JudgeN said:I'm playing temple knight and I farmed him very early in the game. Like after I killed 1-1 and 1-2 boss (which were the first bosses I killed).

Yup, He was pretty much an assassin I think. Seems to have some sort of check list at the end. I could be wrong about that check list part.garath said:So the red guy is the invader and the 3 blue guys were what, co-op people? I didn't realize so many people could be in your world at once.
I really can't wait to get my hands on this game. Though I suspect I'll be playing a little offline is the invasions happen regularly when I'm trying to progress.

I may just wait till it's all sorted.

I'm impressed it only took 1 week for it to get to the East Coast.

eXistor said:Still, I wish I had some souls to do something with. like raise my stats. So far I haven't been able to spend any souls because I keep dying. Any good early/easy level good for soul collecting? Also, I still don't quite get soul levels. mine is now 11 apparantly, but I have no idea how it got raised. Is it just by collecting souls?
eXistor said:I'm playing a thief and I just can't seem to finish any level except 1-1. I made it to the boss of 3-1, which seemed the easiest level so far, but she is kicking my ass. Thing is: I don't even care. In any other game I would have given up a long time ago, but here it just seems challenging instead of unfair.

Defuser said:Those crystal geckos still doesn't respawn no matter how many times I visit Stonefang 2-2 or leave it for a certain time.
semiconscious said:the game (especially early on) is all about grinding. as doctor_no suggests, pass on bosses for a bit, & just work on your character.
Doctor_No said:They will only respawn a set number of times per location. They unfortunately don't infinitely respawn, and its not linked to how many times you successfully catch the geckos- if you miss them, you lose them. You can try to get them again on New Game+, but otherwise you'll have to find another spawn point. Fortunately, there are quite a few.
Victrix said:I disagree with this almost entirely. It is never, ever necessary to grind anything. When you DO need a few extra souls to use a new item or something, there are a few spots in the game that seem almost made for giving you souls for free.
The rest is all about tackling the areas in a comfortable order, using the right gear, the right magic, building up your stats intelligently, and simply playing smart and skillfully.
Grinding early is boring and slow, and you always improve your character by finding new permanent items. Losing a few souls to progress is no big deal, sooner or later you're going to hit one of the made-for-free-souls areas, and even those you don't really need.
All that said, if you're having an issue progressing anywhere for whatever reason, yes, you can grind away to gain soul levels, but it's not something I enjoy
Corto said:Yayyyyyy... I've just received mine from ebay and I can't wait to put it on the PS3 to play it. I'll comeback to this thread if I get stuck in the game to check for hints.

Diseased Yak said:Dude, that was some epic co-op last night! Easily some of the most fun co-op'ing in a game that I've ever had. I'm surprised at how easy it is to meet up with people that you want to, just takes a little bit of coordination.
I noticed on the miner guys who are susceptible to piercing that while my scimitar wasn't doing much damage at all to them (unless I backstabbed), my Soul Arrow spell was doing fantastic. I've got my Magic up to 16 now and it hammers shit.
Before I logged off for the night I upped my stats some more, getting Will up to 14 so now I can memorize two spells. I also bought some more spells, everything I could afford. Is Protection worth burning a slot for?
INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:Yea it was, I love co-op honestly. I usually don't enjoy online games, but this one is much different. When playing my noble, I've noticed the same - magic can be quite powerful in this game and most enemies are done if they get hit with it. The beauty of this game is the strategy/different approaches necessary to efficiently tackle the levels. Protection is nice, but saving Freke in 3-1 will allow you to make Total Protection with the tower knight's soul.
Total Protection is much stronger, but takes up two slots. Protection will be useful for the time being but once you have enough for at least one offensive spell, Total Protection won't do you much good as magic caster. So yes, it is worth a slot ATM. Once you beat 3-1 you will also be able to make SoulLight, the more powerful SoulArrow spell.
Thanks for the info Doc. and Semiconcious.Doctor_No said:The early places to level up are at 1-2 and 4-1.
matmanx1 said:Argh! Flamelurker just ate me =( He was faster than I expected and managed to trap me in a corner. At that point I was dead meat. I am wearing the fire protection ring but I'm wondering if the water veil spell stacks with it to further decrease fire damage done? I honestly dont know if it would have helped me since I got stuck but anything that decreases the amount of damage I take from him is a good thing.
Soul Arrow was hitting him pretty well but I've got to get better at being evasive while casting. I've got a bloodstain in there with 16k souls on it I'd like to have back!
2-2 blew me away, honestly. Just the sense of claustrophobia in the small, dark tunnels that opened up on dead drops with lava far below and way the whole thing directs you to that final epic encounter is wickedly cool. The only pain was those lava bugs who werent difficult but just took WAY to long for me to kill. I either need to bring more MP regen grass or find a better weapon for them. Rapier shots for 13 damage a hit arent cutting it, hehe.
