Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

I just rented this game yesterday from redbox and have to admit I have never more frustrated with a game.

The funny thing is as much as I am frustrated I just keep going back and trying to find the next bonfire. Very addicting.

Can anyone tell me if you can sell any of the equipment you end up getting. I have only found the first vendor and can only purchase from him. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yes you can sell all your junk, but you won't be able to until you ring the second bell tower.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

FYI Info about two weapons, two spells, the second pyromaniac trainer, hidden area, and three armor sets

Spoiler

You can find all those items in blight town. There is also a secret area to another friendly NPC after you beat the boss in blight town.

Protip: Black Knights are weak to parry/riposte and backstabs. Its just a matter of timing the parries. The forward thrusts are best for that. Most of the other attacks are blockable. I personally got screwed out of their weapons on the first two Knights you come across. Kind of annoyed. But I got my demon hammer waiting for my strength level up.

Also, that damn

Spoiler

Rock Knight behind the locked door at the bottom of the Taurus Demon tower is an *******. I hate him

Spoiler

The black Knights that drop swords are in the asylum. They are tougher to kill as well. I had to use firebombs, couldn't even do it with just fireballs. Both dropped swords. I need to ring that second bell so i can sell a bunch of this gear I have. I have been one shot killed by the rock knight, so I have not even screwed with him, but that staircase is an awesome shortcut right to a boss.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

I got a ring I think works for Blight town. I may find out tonight. I got it in the asylum, and it basically allows me to stay more balanced when I am in the marsh. Does this sound rigt..anyone use it?

I also got a toy doll, have no idea what that does.

I got parry/riposte down pat, I can't believe I went this long without it, really easy and super effective.

Yeah, you can move freely in the swamp with that equipped. Without looking, I don't know what the doll does yet either.

....

So, I've gone from fighting maybe the easiest boss I've ever fought in either of these games yesterday to fighting maybe the hardest boss (or bosses I should say) I've ever fought in either game today. Just not even fair.

Yet, I still want to play. Just need to take a day or two off.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

I know there are summoning issues but I cant even summon an NPC.

It says Summoning Failed (im in human form). I'm at the depths trying to kill this stupid dragon.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

I was feeling confident in my skills and went to fight the Black Knight in Darkroot Basin which I ran from like a little girl about 5 levels ago.

The battle way going my way, I was doing fine, and that f*cker jumps back and commits suicide off the cliff! At first I was happy, easy battle, but then I notice the little glowing item all the way on the bottom where he died! I'm sure it is a great item that I'll never get now because he won't respawn!!! Son of a . . .

They usually drop titanite shards.

I accidently killed the pyromancer teacher in the depths which means I cant cast pyromancy spells without the glove he gives.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

So all the talk about the asylum ring I decided to give it a go, and beat the two black knights for good measure. One dropped a sword, so I started upgrading strength to give it a go. Finally got there and that thing swings so slow I can't use it.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Just got to the Depths

Spoiler

I think this is where the game gets creepier. I have really been avoiding any underground areas and now I'm forced to go down .

So I killed the butcher and noticed a hidden area behind his table. I drop down into the darkness and end up in this huge sewer with a giant rat. Good thing I just learned magic because I was able to zap it to the death from above .

Walking through some tunnels I fall into a deep hole that drops me into some more crap (literally). But this time I'm surrounded by frogs with bad breath. Are these the curse frogs I've been reading about? Since I was afraid they were, I kill a couple quickly, but then I began to get outnumbered. Scared like a little girl I use my homeward bone to teleport me back to the firelink and finish playing for the night :o.

Also, in the tunnel between Undead Burg and Firelink, there was an NPC behind some bars that I accidentally attacked because I thought she was a zombie. Will I really be missing out on anything she sells? Or would I be able to get the items elsewhere? I really don't want to have to pay 50,000 souls to absolve my sins .

Yes those are the frogs that will insta kill you and give you curse. Also that NPC you hit is going to cost you. She has the cure curse item for 6000 souls. She also sells the poison cure item which you will need in the next area. I'm not sure you can make it past the next level without those poison cure items she sells. So your ****ed however you can buy the cure curse item from the guy in the first bell tower.

How did you manage that?
