Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Sometimes I actually enjoy dying, like when I leaped behind the black knight to grab the blue tearstone ring in undead burg. I leapt down, knowing the black knight was going to destroy me (again), but I grabbed the ring before he slaughtered me. I expected my stain to be down below, the ring was worth the souls, but tomy surprise the stain was above so I was able to get the ring and keep my souls.

It also amuses me the occasional awkward situation by the fire, finding yourself sitting on a guy's lap that wasn't there a second ago.

I'm so paranoid about dieing and losing my souls. This game is going to drive me nuts.

That's why you spend them when you have em. If you're running around with less than 500 souls or so it doesn't really matter if you die.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Is this game going to be like Demon's Souls where if you hit like level 100+, you hardly find anyone else within the same level range? So essentially, you're playing by yourself unless you restricted yourself to a certain level. I know, it's probably much too early to tell.

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

That place is aweome for farming souls. You need to stay close to the stairwell and shoot an arrow at the guy standing by the tree then let him come to you and then kill him and you get 2000 souls. If you go too far though a tough enemy will come out, but as long as you draw the first guy out it's 2000 a pop.

Thanks, someone told me a couple days ago. I'm trying as hard as I can to play this blind but I'm also glad to know it wasn't a waste of souls. I can actually take them on now if I want to .

I effing hate this Sen's Fortress. This is the first level that has really gotten to me. Went through the whole level three times without finding a bonfire. I eventually find it and realize I was right there every time I died. And don't even get me started on the boss fight. So annoying.

You can rebuild souls so easily though. You can farm a couple hundred a minute in most bonfire areas, and leveling up isn't nearly as important as having good equipment.

Found the guy who buys your junk. He will appear at Firelink shrine after you ring the second bell I think.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

Here is a soul farming glitch I found on the Red Dragon bridge. Do not know if it has been mentioned but just in case:

Spoiler

Once you make the mad dash to the stairs at the middle of the bridge and kick the ladder down to the bonfire...go back up the stairs to the dragon bridge and creep just a tiny bit out near the closest enemy. Then make a mad dash back down the stairs. The dragon will burn up the zombies giving you 300 souls. Then go back to the bonfire rest, rinse, repeat. I was able to go up two levels in about 7 minutes. PLUS I liked having those guys roast and on occasion you get an item drop. I got enough humanity doing this to kindle the first undead berg bonfire

Hope that helps someone.

Re: Dark Souls (PS3/360)

My body is at work and my mind is on that bridge with the dragon. Can't wait to see what happens next....

I've died a lot but my last 3 days have been spent this exact same way. Wondering what will happen next and fine tuning my strategy.

Like a boulder rolling down the stairs... This game came out of nowhere!

Just shoo the dragon away then clear the bridge and the spot where you fight the fang boar (entrance to undead parrish). I farmed a good 4000 souls there in no time to buy the repair kit then repair everything in my inventory.

Anyway, to make things quicker just shoot the dragon in the tail then run back to bonfire.

Where do you buy the repair kit?

Also how do you time the parry? I get it about 50% of the time. Is there a trick?

I restarted the game with a Pyromancer and am enjoying that character.
