Okay, so I fought the Capra Demon and am back at Firelink Shrine
is the suggested next zone down where those skeletons are?

there are some neat things there for you to try to get, but it could be tough, and you don't need to go there to progress until much later

i still have to make my strength dude and my blue blood swordsman. was gonna do that in the next few months and was bummed that id be doing it in a dead world
Morninglord on
(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.
Oh! I might actually pick up Demon's Souls now. I wasn't going to with the servers going away.
Amazes me that people feel this way about the best game on the system. It's worth it even as a 1p game.
SL1 update: Maneater WRECKED US. What's a good(better?) weapon? That I can wield ideally. Royalty build.

When you get the crimson stone.
Just killed Penetrator solo, L1. Biorr was there, but the fat oaf stood there and watched, so I killed that fool myself.

Will this be hard to miss, or should I make sure I don't pass it by?
I ask because I'm not really looking anything up, but if I hadn't investigated on the wiki a bit I would have never found the first undead merchant
or realized that I can buy Miracles from that one dude as long as I talk to him four times
ruzkin is right. If you talk to the Crestfallen Warrior at Firelink Shrine, he'll tell you there are two bells. The second is in blighttown, and you have to go through The Depths to get to it. The key dropped by the Capra Demon has flavor text that gives you a hint, but really it's just a barred door down the hall from his rape room.
You can go through the graveyard to pick up some neat items, but the Catacombs beyond aren't necessary to beat until later.
i'm starting my bow only run, well bow only plus a dagger for some close combat robin hoody stuff.
what are the best bows I should be looking for? I got the composite bow, and it seems that at +15 its the best bow, coupled with its fast fire rate, but I've heard that pharis might be better? Also the dragon bow, but yeah.
I have a copy of Demon's Souls.
I've already played Dark Souls. What are the major differences between the two games?
Hmm... well, when you're alive/human, that's similar (you have to be in order to summon people or be invaded and such), but when you're hollowed/undead in Demon's Souls you only have about 50% of your normal HP bar. There's an item called the Cling Ring that if you're wearing it you get up to around 75% of your normal HP bar. Also when you're hollowed in Demon's Souls, you make less noise than when you're alive.
I've heard that parrying is... different, Dark Souls parrying is supposed to be easier on the timing or something. I suck at both so I couldn't really tell you.
Only two types of magic, Sorcery and Miracles. Pyromancy isn't a separate thing.
There isn't one big contiguous world, instead the game is broken up into 5 main 'worlds' and each of those are vaguely divided into 'acts', thus you'll hear people refer to 3-1 or 5-2 and such like that. It works well enough. And when you've defeated a boss, you can warp directly to the archstone there from the Nexus' menu for that world to be able to go directly to specific acts.
Edit:
Oh, and the other major difference is there are a couple of light/dark systems for both your Character's tendency and each individual world's tendency. Each world has an event that happens at full white tendency and another that happens at full black tendency. Killing a world's bosses shifts that world's tendency towards white and dying in your living/body form shifts that world's tendency towards black. A whiter world lowers the HP of monsters and reduces their drop rate and/or quality of items. A blacker world increases the HP of monsters and increases their drop rate and/or quality of items.
Character tendency isn't used for much to my knowledge aside from some weapons that do more damage when at the extremes of character tendency. You can only shift your character tendency by doing interactions with other players online as I recall. So being summoned to someone else's world and helping them kill the boss of the area in their world increases your character tendency towards white. Murdering other players shifts it towards black.

This is exceedingly not true, an undead who is nimble on their feet but lacking the master key can enter via the Dark Root Garden->Basin->Valley of the Drakes -> Blightown route. With the Master key you can go straight from Firelink Shrine -> Drakes -> Blightown. The advantage of going through Drakes is you enter via the wheel which cuts out pretty much all of Blighttown.
However for a first play through going through the depths is probably best otherwise you'll miss the Large Ember which is fairly important for upgrading weapons and there is some decent loot in amongst the utter hell that is upper Blighttown.

Abloo abloo abloo. I was pretty sure he didn't have the master key, and I was laying out the "intended" route for beginners. I.e. the door for the key he just got.
And I don't agree that Blighttown is as bad as people say except for the goddamn frame rate. It's tough to plot the trajectory of poison darts when they travel faster than your drawing rate.
Generally, unless I want something that's only in Upper Blighttown (mostly Eagle Shield), I'll do the Depths and then use the Valley of Drakes shortcut to bottom Blighttown. The Depths is pretty easy once you know what you're doing and gives you lots of useful stuff (Large Ember, the first Pyromancy trainer, tons of souls for defeating the boss & the NPC invasion guy near the boss) so it's well worth doing.

Thanks errbody for the guidance. Yeah, I chose not to take the master key to reduce the chances of just wandering into some hellhole on my first playthrough
I made it through the depths, despite being completely lost the majority of the time. I was also legitimately terrified for the first time, thanks to the undead cook. I ended up being helped a lot by an unknowingly well-placed death, since my glowing green essence helped me see how two areas were connected.
Also had a fun time after finding the bonfire down there, as I summoned a couple guys who promptly ran off in different directions. I wandered off in my own direction, and every now and then one of them would drop through the roof, or I'd see them from afar ruining some dudes and then sprinting off. I kept using the "shrug" gesture to try and indicate "help me I am lost wtf" but then they would shrug back and I think they were making fun of me

demon's souls servers are staying up
is the suggested next zone down where those skeletons are?

Yeah, I was slowly getting the hang of dealing with the skeletons, and then the giant skeleton
So I was feeling somewhat confident that I was going the right way until like four skeletons and one giant all spawned at once
I am pretty into the shield-and-spear setup I've got going on right now, though
awesome
i still have to make my strength dude and my blue blood swordsman. was gonna do that in the next few months and was bummed that id be doing it in a dead world

Capra Demon would have unlocked a new path right next to where you fought him. Head down, prepare to cry.

Also, Old Hero down.
L1 run bosses left:
-Storm Ruler
-Dirty Colossus
-Astraea
-Maneater(oh god)
-Old Monk
-False King Allant(nooooo)
what's its rate of fire compared to the composite? Right now I'm considering making composite chaos +5, and Pharis+15
also Capra demon with bows only is really tense
I am so lost and scared.
also, I've heard something about how elemental stuff doesn't work with bows?
Good luck
