    i beat maneater mildred, and then she, i and a phantom beat quelaag
    and then i died at the same moment she did, so i got her soul and lost the souls

    and then i got hit by a boulder and died and they are all gone

    and i've spent what feels like an hour just trying to get out of here
    i got lost and used all of my moss, so yeah

    lautrec's a dick

    where is the acceppted place for summoning in dark root? I can't find anyone near the fire or towards havel and the hydra. And I am nearly out of humanity from dying when trying either solo.

    no one ever puts summon signs there ever.

    okay there's a corpse in the shallow water, stand next to it with your shield up and the hydra will miss you almost every time. when the heads come down, whap em.
    they always go in the same pattern so all you really have to worry about is the golems and the water blasts which is easy just pull them one at a time and hide behind trees.

    Another fun Havel trick is just running up a set of stairs in his tower and rolling off so he falls after you. He hurts himself a lot more from fall damage than you probably will.

  • VALVEjunkieVALVEjunkie Registered User regular
    well he is wearing stone armor, it's a no brainer that he'd take crazy fall damage.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    OK. Thanks guys.

    Hey.

    I am a THIEF. If I could just sneak up and pickpocket the ring off him, I would've.

    Not my fault he's an introvert who dosn't want to leave his house.

    god this thread is so CLEAN.

    it must be because of all the SCRUBS in here.

    something about tears makes them perfect for shining up floor tile, this place is immaculate.

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    So I started farming that heavily armored dude iwth the big mace, around the top of Sen's fortress, for large titanite shards.

    For some reason I can't seem to backstab him properly.

    Is the guy immune to that, or does it require more precise positioning?

    he is of the Giant class and as such is immune to backstabs because his spine is on the top shelf of the pantry and your tiny ass juuuuust can't reach it.

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    By the way, I finally started putting my dagger to use now that I got the hang of backstabbing.

    It is so good for backstabbing, dear lord.

    good

    gooooooood

    now get a small shield and practice PARRIES

    THOSE DO EVEN MORE DAMAGE

    IT'S FUCKIN NUTS THE DAMAGE YOU CAN DO WITH THAT THING

    just upgrade it to +15 though, doing anything else to it will remove the bleed damage which is a big no no.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    havel's ring is pretty neat

    how in the hell do i even get to the hydra without getting blasted by those water bombs?

    Trees

  • StiltsStilts Registered User regular
    OK. Thanks guys.

    There's another really cheesy option for the hydra.

    There is a rock by a tree on the side where the golems are, just before the lake.

    If you stand a few feet behind that rock, the hydra's blasts will never hit you.

    But you can still server its heads with arrows.

  • VALVEjunkieVALVEjunkie Registered User regular
    hide behind the trees and shit. it has a pretty big windup so you can safely book it between shots, but don't roll because they come out at different times so even if you get past one the next few will still hit you.

    Also, when should I do Catacombs?

    Ash Lake is the most beautiful area in the game. It's also the best.

    @Stilts I'd say you can brave the Catacombs, just make sure you have a divine weapon with you when you go

    also, how's the game going for ya? Still frustrating?

    as soon as you have access to divine weaponry aka you should have done it right after the butterfly

    the lower your level the more FUUUUN it is, trust me

    I got my Winged Spear to Divine +5 as soon as I finished Blighttown (farmed a bunch of leeches).

    Haven't done much since I killed Lautrec. Just farmed some souls from the Silver Knights to buy all the titanite I'll need to upgrade the Falchion so I can turn it into a Fury Sword. After I'm done with that, I'll revive the Firelink Firekeeper, then try to kill Havel (probably from the Undead Burg side so I don't have to fight my way through the golems). Then I guess I'll finish out Darkroot Garden, then do Catacombs, and then Ash Lake.

    After all that, I'll do Anor Londo again.
