It's like a weapon so you have to put it in one of your hands. It should be in your inventory as a hand on fire. Then you have to "attune" your spells at a bonfire. Attunement controls how many spells you can hold.Hence why for no reason I spent 16k getting +6 on it. Yet I’ve ZERO idea how to “equip” it. The dude at fire link talked me into it. He was a great salesman.
Thanks for the kind words!This thread is really wholesome. I hope you succeed against O&S soon Maddux4164, don't give up skeleton!
I fought them non-stop from midnight til 4 AM the first time I beat them ... what a night.
Oh damn. The summon sign isn’t by the fog door? Maybe Solarie was waiting for me after all. Wow. Ok then. I’ll see what’s up.Which stairs, though? There are two sets of stairs, you want the stairs by the archer in the hall. The summon sign is on the half way point.
Scroll down past your weapons. If memory serves, it sits between weapons and shields. If not, it's at the bottom past the shields.
Sure. Why not? Hah.Alright Maddox!
Now that your out of Anor Londo you may want to get the Dark Wood Grain ring.
You can find out about that here https://darksouls.wiki.fextralife.com/Dark+Wood+Grain+Ring
It gives you an even better dodge roll
If that fails would you like to know about a shield that breaks the game?!
Hah. Oh well. The depths was WAY too easy. Took mere minutes to stroll through and whip their asses. Happy I wasn’t cursed. Although I’ve got like 3 purging stones anyhow.The dude in the barrel is the one who upgrades your pyromancy flame at Firelink (lol good point about his armour and weapons). He stays put and out of mischief for the better part of the game. If you upgrade your pryromancy flame to +10, another NPC will appear in Blightown. She, Quelana, can teach you the real heavy-hitting fire spells and upgrade your pyromancy flame to maximum. I think how it goes is if you buy one of her unique spells and then speak to the pyromancy dude at Firelink, he'll want to know where you got it. If you tell him, he disappears from Firelink and can be found later in Blightown in a pretty sad state.
Kirk would be an NPC with a red glow and a message appears stating you have been invaded. He looks just like the picture in my comment about the rewards for his quest. The thing is, once you kill the boss of an area - you can no longer be invaded. My apologies for not remembering to include that information. By the time I remembered, you had already killed the boss. You're too damn fast!
Valid point. Also. I must learn to lock on. Never ever really done it sadlyI always let Onstein stay alive. The larger weapon can catch you while you roll. If you lock on to Ornstein you can basically bait his moves.
Done that a long time agoIIRC you can get your weapon super high before O&S...like +10 or more if you get the ember after draining New Londo. You can farm the skeletor knights for chunks.
Nice. Never noticed. Always expected Him at the fog door for some reason. Probably means I’ll have to kill the big guys to get him summoned properly eh?In case you are just looking in the wrong spot, Maddux...here's an image I googled showing where Solaire's sign is (right where he is standing.) If you're human he really should be there. Maybe try quitting out and reloading in the same place. It's the side of the hall that the black knight archer is on.
I'm afraid so - you can maneuver and avoid them but Solaire will attack any enemy he sees... you should clear out the area around him so he'll follow you to the boss instead of fighting them. He's not really a good fighter, more of a diversionNice. Never noticed. Always expected Him at the fog door for some reason.

Exactly my thoughts. Gotta clear the room. Kinda sucks. But is what it is. I know I’ll get hit and die and boom. Lose my shot at O&SI'm afraid so - you can maneuver and avoid them but Solaire will attack any enemy he sees... you should clear out the area around him so he'll follow you to the boss instead of fighting them.

You mean allow him to “help” me clear the room? If he stayed alive, why is the need to quit/reload? or you mean if he dies?It used to be possible to summon him to clear the room then do and exit to menu/reload and then summon him again. No idea if that still works.
Well the point was to get him back to full health.You mean allow him to “help” me clear the room? If he stayed alive, why is the need to quit/reload? or you mean if he dies?
Ahhh. Gotcha. Hmm. Interesting. Would be worth a shot to try if that happened I supposeWell the point was to get him back to full health.
Well. We can put this to bed. Works on OG DSWell the point was to get him back to full health.
That wasn’t an NPC, that was a personFuck me. Had em. Killed S. Had Solaire AND an NPC (wasn’t aware my OG game could allow that) we were all decent health. I was good. Kinda sat back and attacked when needed. Then they both died and he swarmed my ass. Game over.
yeah that's a real person. Nobody but Solaire is available NPC-wise.Fuck me. Had em. Killed S. Had Solaire AND an NPC (wasn’t aware my OG game could allow that) we were all decent health. I was good. Kinda sat back and attacked when needed. Then they both died and he swarmed my ass. Game over.
They did show up. We HAD THIS FIGHT WON. I was Semi-celebratingyeah that's a real person. Nobody but Solaire is available NPC-wise.
Solaire should be enough help though. You can do this even if no one else shows up
I'm reinstalling PTDE, I didn't realise it wasn't installed already. if you can't do it by the time I get in (hopefully I have a save near there) then I'm 100% in to helpSOMEONE HELP ME. Steam = Maddux1012000. Apparently I can get real humans lol
Please.I'm reinstalling PTDE, I didn't realise it wasn't installed already. if you can't do it by the time I get in (hopefully I have a save near there) then I'm 100% in to help
Jolly co-operation can sometimes end in tears. Summoning goes both ways, remember. you can be summoned and learn about bosses by helping others out while banking some souls.Please.
I was happy. Me and that “dude” even “bowed” to each other. He gave up a great fight. We just lost. Simple as that
And it's just fun tooYup. One of the best ways to learn a boss fight is to join someone else's game. That way you get experience without risking anything.
Waiting on him to take up for me and at least fake like I helpedWell
had jolly good “co op” with a good pal Soodanim
We kicked O&S like a bitch. Except took us like 5 tries. Doesn’t matter. We did it. Was a great time. Now I can warp and be awesome.
We had a BLAST doing it. Was amazing
We had a blast. Hopefully many more jolly co op situations in the near future for us MateI had some rust to shake off, I managed to die twice before the boss. So it definitely wasn’t a one man army situation. (Probably doesn’t help running round half naked with a Washing Pole, it’s not the quickest of weapons.)
I get sucked back into this game so quickly. I just need to figure out why DSFix stops the game booting so I can play at 60fps again. Maddux4164 I’ll let you know if I do. Even if you don’t want to play at 60fps you can at least throw a better resolution and some AA in there. Some of the equipment has detail that’s entirely lost at 720p rendering
Hope so. We sincerely had a ball. Now I’ve beaten O&S and have much more to go. But now I’ve got a warp and a monkey off my back.Awesome. Maybe you'll be the one helping some other guy to beat O&S for the first time in the future, Maddux4164
Make sure you go see Frampt and place the lordvessel too. Certain areas of the game are locked until it is placed. I'd recommend Demon Ruins (reached from Daughter of Chaos bonfire) or Duke's archives as your next areas to explore, as you seem to have a really hard time in boss fights where you can end up fighting multiple enemies at once, which is what you'll be doing in New Londo (where you drained the water) and Tomb of Giants (area after Pinwheel, the catacombs boss.) You probably want to wait until you are at least level 80 before you do the DLC as well.Hope so. We sincerely had a ball. Now I’ve beaten O&S and have much more to go. But now I’ve got a warp and a monkey off my back.
Been a while since I had time to play. I took on O&S and beat them my first try! I did have a +3 Lightning Zweihander, so that helped a bit. Going into the Catacombs next.Tonight I went back for the doll in the Asylum, cleared out the remaining demon statue guys in Senn’s Fortress, and took out Sif.
Sure. Why not? Hah.
Beating DS1 without cheesing is admirable but hilarious. I don't get why some people insist on doing things the hard way then act surprised when things become difficult.I was watching a new guy trying to go from the depths to blight and getting repeatedly clubbed over the head by a fatty. So eventually I says to him that it's easier if he lures fatty to ladder and attacks from above. He got all uptight about it and gave me a lecture on cheesing. I was going to reply that the game is literally telling him to do it, otherwise there wouldn't be a platform and the fatty wouldn't stand beneath it, but there wasn't any point in arguing with the guy. So I sat eating a hot dog watching him repeatedly getting clubbed or rolling to his death while he got more and more frustrated. It was funny as shit. Finally he took my advice, killed the fatty, gave a triumphant yell and ran face first into the 2nd one. Rage quit.

Honestly I admire that too. It's all part of the experience, being invaded by some guy dressed like sonic the hedgehog and being punched through the floor. Welcome to dark souls, bitch.I'll give him credit for trying. At least he wasn't one of those glitchers who abuse dupes then spend their days invading the Undead
What’s worse is he will eventually realise that all he needed to strafe like a muthafucka, no cheese necessaryI was watching a new guy trying to go from the depths to blight and getting repeatedly clubbed over the head by a fatty.

So true. The game WANTS you to lure his fat ass. Although now, I simply run past em all. But in a first every play through, I fought em.I was watching a new guy trying to go from the depths to blight and getting repeatedly clubbed over the head by a fatty.

Yep. Running works on 99% of folks and situations.What’s worse is he will eventually realise that all he needed to strafe like a muthafucka, no cheese necessary
