    Ay, what's the best way/place to farm souls?

    If you have a spell strong enough to one-shot them, you can make 4500 souls per ~50 seconds from the three sentinels between the entrance to Anor Londo and its first bonfire.

    My Anor Londo is dark :(

    Anyway I got enough souls from co-op now I'm starting NG+

    It works in dark Anor Londo. In fact, it's best there.

    NG+ is the best place for souls anyway. Do the 3 forest people trick over and over again. Think it's like 18k souls for all three with the silver covetous ring on, and takes roughly a minute to complete.

    What's the best level to stop leveling my dude for pvp and co-op?

    bnet: TheStig#1787 Steam: TheStig
  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    Well co-op all varies depending on where you are in the regular game. I dunno if that extends to NG+. But last I'd heard from my coworker 109 was the unofficial "stop leveling" level for mulitplayer content?

  • SCREECH OF THE FARGSCREECH OF THE FARG #1 PARROTHEAD margaritavilleRegistered User regular
    definitely not 109, if anything it's always been 120

    80 and 40 are hotspots as well, also 1

  • CorporateLogoCorporateLogo The toilet knows how I feelRegistered User regular
    It was 120 in Demon's Souls and it's the same in Dark Souls

    Mostly because it forces you to a specific build, once you get past 150 every build starts to look the same due to diminishing returns on leveling stats

    Do not have a cow, mortal.

    i just found the upside of an SL1 run: invading in parish wearing nothing but a sack and just strong attacking people with my caveman club

    you are required to make a video set to either drowning pool or slayer mixed with yakkity sax

    My favorite way to spend my red orbs right now is unequipping everything, invading, and then throwing dung pies at the other person.

    So, now that I've beaten Anor Londo, I have several weapons that are going pretty well with my strength build. Any advice as to what are good end-game weapons for a strength duder? I'm not opposed to putting an elemental effect on my weapons. I think my strength is currently 34, dex 14

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    the giant demon machete scales very well with strength, but you need 40 str to wield it one handed and it's going to require some upgrading.

    but if you're interested then you can either buy it from Shiva if you're in the forest bros covenant or farm it from the lesser Capra demons in Demon Ruins.

    he's a great guy raijin

    a great guy you should save immediately then leave alone the entire rest of the game

    man is only around to help out as many people as possible

    Larry (that's what his friends call him) is great! He is useful to summon for many fights and sells you cheap chunks and arrows!

    I think the gaping dragon should be player controlled in this game, like the monk was in demon's souls.

    Because up until then, it was bearable.

    I thought the Demon Ruins were more tedious than they were bullshit.

    Like, I can take on pretty much everything there one at a time. And if I can do that, it's super-easy. It just takes forever to do that.

    Whereas in Tomb of Giants, I try to safely pull some dudes and oh, hey, turns out I can't do that and now I have three skeleton beasts and a black knight attacking me.

    Awesome.
