Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Yeah thats where I am. But when I try and walk to the other sewer entrance, the dragon douses me in fire most of the time.

You have to be underneath the bridge.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

There is also a bonfire and a gate that you can open right underneath the dragon. Either opening the gate or starting the bonfire will trigger the dragon to fly off I believe.

Spoiler

Go up the stairs in the middle of the bridge and quickly get to a safe spot right up against the wall on either the left side or the right side, but closest to the dragon. His fire will not be able to reach you. Then when he comes and lands in the middle, you can book it between his legs and I was able to make it to the other side, light the bonfire and open that gate that connects you to the area right before that steel bull thing.

Also,

Spoiler

there is a gate you can open opposite the lady merchant in the tower with the lone archer near the sewer entrance, that connects you back to the main hub place.

Unless you are talking about the Lower undead burg and not the sewers.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

I am actually talking about the lower undead burg I think..my bad. I have not been there yet, so I thought it was sewers.


So I can walk under the bridge in the opposite direction of the dragon? I didn't even know that.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Man, I am finding this game a lot tougher than Demons Souls. I think I have already died more times in 3 hours than I did in all of Demons Souls. In Demons, while very challenging, if you advanced slowly and fought enemies one at a time by luring them out, you could do alright. Aside from bosses, there weren't that many really powerful enemies that were out of your league early on.

But in Dark Souls it seems like around every corner there is an enemy I am just not powerful enough to fight yet. They kill me in two hits and when I hit them I barely give them a scratch! This is f'ing intense!!

I am running for my life! lol

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

What is funny is that I now run through the start of the undead burg like rambo and I'm only a level 20 with a Drake sword...lol.

I love games like this so much..they are rare. Basically you just play so much and improve your character so much that you get the timing and when you come back to the tough stuff later on, it is usually not as hard.

I had the second gargoyle down to his last hit and had the tail of the first one broken off, but that damn fire breath got me. Haven't gotten close to killing both since.

reverse hollowing and become human before this fight. Then you want to summon the knight who gives you the summoning marker to come help you. you will see a marker laid down for you before you walk through the light.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

meth-will try that, thanks.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

LOL... just got invaded for the first time while facing a Black Knight at the same time. The invader got himself killed by the Knight I was facing while chasing me around. I didn't even hit him once.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

What level are you guys? I am at 23, and just trying to figure out how high I should be before I take on the boss of the depths.

[mrprice33]

Meth I'm like 22 but I have the drake sword so really like a 30 lol. That tip with the summoning really helped.

The Capra demon was so easy lol. Beat him first try. Read somewhere that the first 30 seconds decide the fight. I agree.

[Methlab]

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

I took out the Capra demon and then went underground. I am wondering if I need better weapons besides just the drake to beat the dragon down there. I can't get him since I don't have a real long distance shot. Not sure what I need to upgrade or spend to take him out.

I got the powerful bow in the same area, but I am not able to hit him..it is like you can't lock onto him or something.

Already got cursed once so I may return to the asylum to get more anti venom..but I am not sure if I can take on the dark knight yet or not.

Gaping Dragon

Spoiler

Stay to the side of him and never be directly in front of his mouth. Keep your shield up to block his tail whip, back away when he goes in the air, and hack away. Piece of cake.

Kind of stuck at the moment even though I've made a lot of progress in these first four days. SL 30 and I am to the point where it's really getting tough. Think I am a bit under-leveled. I lost 17k souls once and 11k another time for being an idiot.

My path so far.

Spoiler

Taurus>Undead Dragon>Gargoyles>Lightning dude with one leg>All Black Knights come across>Capra>Butterfly in forest>Gaping Dragon>Hyrdra.

Tough paths everywhere now. And I wasted 20k souls to open up that forest door. Bad idea .

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Spoiler

I suggest grinding out 20k souls so you can buy the key to the forest door from Andre . You can grind out about 15k souls every 3-4 mins fighting the eniemies there.
