    there's really nothing to do in darkroot basin until after you play through the duke's archives

    well, you'd probably want to
    have a chance to talk to Dusk before she gets kidnapped by Manus

    if you wait to free dusk until after getting the broken pendant, it's kind of a letdown to have part of the hook for the dlc be "go rescue this person you just rescued from a different kidnapper literally two minutes ago"

    I really like the punching in this game, you guys.

    I've nicknamed the punch backstab "The Proctology Exam". Yes, I know you hit a little higher, but let me keep being twelve, for this.

    @Wyborn I don't remember what I said to do near the Hydra. The double-secret door I was talking about is in Blighttown.

    Well NG+ certainly had an interesting start to it.

    The red guy near the end of the NG+ tutorial section dropped something as we both died simultaneously.

    It wasn't something unique, was it?

    So guys where did the crazy man with the glasses go? I'm taking the long route to Blighttown specifically to stop by and see him but he appears to have moved

    He's relocated to Firelink (sort of), just like almost every other NPC you've met so far.

    I'm having trouble thinking who that might be.

    Didn't you see him at that Anor Londo bonfire?

    Does
    Freeing the lady in Drangleic castle with the keyblade do anything besides give you that ring?

    And has anyone else noticed that the big hammer dudes in Earthen Peak have a dark sign on their shoulder just like the PC does when he or she is hollowed? Do any of the other hollowed enemies have the same condition? It makes sense but I never actually noticed it until now.

    I am super excited to hear your take on that NPC Wyborn.

    The subtle little touches that reinforce the lore are probably my favourite thing about this series, you're usually too busy trying not to die to notice a lot of it but when you do it's really cool. It never feels like there's anything that's been put in "just because".

    I really don't like that sodding room with the four sickle guys in it. Two's bad enough, but four?!

    I want... to shoot the queen. So badly. Not because she's a dick or anything, I just... wanted to shoot her. With an arrow. That is all.

    Is the

    Depraved run. I got the stats to power stance bastard swords today.

    Beat the lost sinner and revived strait.

    Spiked club was sadly underwhelming.

    It gets better with an upgrade or two.

    To bad bleeding is pretty useless outside of PvP

    Asked in the other thread but I wanted to check here too in case of night owls. On a new character using bleed weapons for the first time. How can I tell if the bleed is working?

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    You can't really, when the enemy takes enough bleed "damage" they'll just lose a big chunk of health.

    In my experience most enemies die way before bleeding has a chance to build up.

    SO i finally started Playing Dark Souls, and i am as far as the Undead Burg, i should say to the first Bonfire in the Undead Burg, and i was wondering if you all had any advice for a newbie player what would you tell em?

    Take into account Ive played a lot of Demon Souls and i started off as a Wanderer.

    If you have recommendations, like start this or this class, have at it, Im not far enough along that i wouldnt mind starting over.

    I got nothing for you now. Try again later.

  • WybornWyborn GET EQUIPPED Registered User regular
    Based on my experiences so far:

    Pick what you want to do and tailor your build toward that. A specialized fighter is going to be way more effective than a generalized one.

    I don't know if that was true in Demon's Souls but it's super true here.

    find a weapon that you like the moveset for, and upgrade it. Basically every weapon can take you through the entire game, as long as you pump shards into it (and have reasonably appropriate stats for the scaling). I got the Claymore from a bridge not too far past where you are now, and used it all the way to the end for my first time beating the game.

    Holly molly finally beat Lost Sinner, she's the one I've had the most trouble so far as a bow user. Also wow I didn't know that the place can be
    brightened up
    , that was a major life saver.
