EDIT: I'm just going to delete the quote, as the red on blue is fucking horrible...

>>I dont know if am going the right way...............
There is no right way, unless you get owned to fuck

Charlie that level after the Sewers, The biatch of a level you said will take you AGES!!!!

I decided not to do that, untill i can increase my Endurance and get some decent armour and more strength behind me.

Probably wise, although the enemies in there aren't difficult. It's more about poison and geography. And poison. The second bell is at the end though, at which point you can start feeding a weird looking snake thing items for souls...

So i have Ran off and Killed the Butteryfly Boss,
And then come back on myself gone down the Ramp Area (The narrow paths in the dark woods or what ever its called)
You keep heading down for miles, then there is a Whole in the clif,
You light the Camp fire, Continue down that path, and you see a Switch.
You take the lift like 5,000 ft under sound, and you have some dragons to kill.

You know where am talking about, Did you do this before or After...........

I've lit the Darkwood Basin (I think?) bonfire (it had a knight with a halberd protecting it), but I don't know where you're talking about beyond that. Sounds interesting though...

Feel as there is no real structure or direction to head to, and its trial and error in these areas haha!!

Am trying down there, as i have read there is alot of hot resources for Armour and Weapons.


Also does this have any impact on the game:
You know the Blacksmith by the Castle, Well if you go to the Camp Fire, and walk across that little bridge, you have a Onion Looking man........
I accidently hit him, and he kept attacking me, So i was forced to kill him,
I got a stone and a ring off him, but is this going to have a Impact on my gameplay?

I don't know yet. I saw that guy outside the fortress, and I bumped into him inside as well. I haven't gone further, but I guess he helps against the boss or something. Sy will know more...

I haved a good chunck of souls last night, and topped up all me Arrows, Am just going to wack away at strengh and Endurance for the moment,
The temptation to keep adding to Vitality is too much tho

I've just decided to beef intelligence and make a magic weapon having looked at the weapon table. Magic is the only sword I could see that gets an A in it's stat at high levels.

Liking my sword tho, Issuing some good Blows, 230 ish on a normal R1 hit,
and 280 or 290 on a R2 hit.
Then Two hands, with R2 issues a 400 something blow.
Problem is it takes him about 20 minutes to bloody complete the animation lol<<

Where did you get that from? I've not come across it...

I got the dark knight sword from that Knight in Level 1,
He is in Full Armour, and there is no way in beating him at your current level, the one you told me to go back to.
(Just before the stairs to the first Major Boss)
You where where he is protecting that ring, he dropped a sword for me.
But stats balance on Strength and Dexterity.


But cheers for that, AM going to give it a killing tonight, i think am all equipt and setup ready to kick some ass.


The reason am heading this way, as i think its the way to Blight Town,
And thats where all my resources i want are.

[Symonator]

yeah valley of the drakes dave, watch it them dragons fire lightning and it's quite high damage and knocks u back, so they can stun u a bit.

I opened all the end bosses last night, killed one and 2 more to go...

That onion man, i think he appears in the game and u either save him or fight him (something to do with the end i heard).
You can buy his armour from a merchant in sens castle - after u ring the second bell to get there.
(on a side note: my undead church bell trophy hasn't unlocked)

I levelled up last night - i'm not kidding i think i got invaded about 20 times in less than half hour.!
Ridculous haha.

On the bright side, at a boss gate called lord nito, a main boss, there was about 8 co-op stones, i was quite pleased to see them, summoned 2 to help me, made the boss much easier!
I messaged them after one was japanese but understood my question "what level are you" he said 100 and i was 97..

Anyways after that, i got some excellent armour, but can't wear it lol.
Also with the invaders last night, i netted about 450k in souls and about 20 humanity, so i levelled some more.

I joined the blade of the darkmoon too, i can be summoned to anyone who is in the book of the guilty or i can invade them.
(you can see whos in the book of the gulity from buying that book from the guy in the bell tower after the gargoyles)

Also Dave...

There isn't really a set way to this game, just plod on and go which ever way.
U can always backtrack, if u go to the forest again though and them crystal things u see by the hydra - go left to a door, this opens a shorcut to the main undead burg area.

At the top of blighttown water wheel (when u get there) is also a key, u can use this to unlock a door to the starting area (firelink shrine) makes things much easier in the future.

I will make a new char in the future, i think i'll roll faith or possibly go all out tank warrior, don't know yet.

p.s blighttown is after the sewers, you'd be better entering that way, u can enter from the valley of the drakes though, when u see that dragon, cross the bridge turn right, follow the path all the way round, cross a small wooden plank bridge, follow path and u'll enter a tunnel (top end of blight town).
Other than that - go via sewer after beating gaping dragon.

[Symonator]

lol @ angry kid on official DS forums

Hey fuck you to the little shit head that invaded and killed me while I already had my hands full with a couple of shit fucking hollow knights.

Fucking little douche bag bitch. 3000 souls and some humanity down the fucking drain.

[theENIGMATRON]

LMAO!!!!
Should not walk round in human form then

Does it make any difference to your Stats like it used to in Demon Souls?


So personally Sys what did you find the easiest way to blighttown.

I was thinking through the valley of the drakes, Hence them Dragons with Elecy Fire. There not to bad to kill, Just have to be patent in attacks.

I dont even want to do the level before blighttown, I just want to head down to the bottom, where you kind of walk all over these tree branches and you have them Mushroom people, I was told there is alot of good resources there, And you can just run around and explorer through there for your Stones and so on.


If i go to the forest, with them Crystal Monsters, Do i run past them and look on me left, or are you talking about the whole in the cave before them?

I done the sewer Level, i just dont like the look of the entrance, them Trolls have a Freaking hard hit if they get you, and your easily knocked of the edge, i only got as far as the 3rd troll, and was mullered by the Swarm of humans and poison Darts.

[InfiniteStates]

Where did you get that from? I've not come across it...

I got the dark knight sword from that Knight in Level 1

Bollocks - he glitched on me when I was fighting him

Well, I say fighting - I mean running away and poking him periodically. I fell down the ladder into the rats under the bridge the dragon sits on, and panicked. When I came back, the knight had disappeared and I still haven't found him to this day. Shame because I had whittled him down to 1/3 health too.

Guess I'll have to wait until NG+ to get that sword, at which point it will be redundant anyway...


Also, the trolls in Blighttown - there aren't many of them. There are the 3 at the start, then 3 more near the exit the other end, and there might be a couple on their own in the middle. But there aren't a lot (and they are easy to lead of the edge to their death).


Sy - where is the door to Firelink Shrine from Blighttown? I thought the only exit was through that tunnel with 3 trolls, to Drake Valley or whatever then up through Londo Ruins (I'm so crap with the area names).

[Symonator]

It just makes your item drop rate higher and some weapons scale from human form (but only the boss-soul weapons later in game)

Yeah that tree, u find it at the bottom of blight town and break the invisible wall near a chest inside the tree, then break the wall behind it to get where u are on about (Alot of tresure and also u can join dragon covenant there) if u join the dragon covenant, there is a glitch u can get unlimited souls with aswell by the way lol.

Best way is start at drakes valley, go over the first bridge u see, turn right, follow path past the big dead dragon, cross the plank bridge, follow till u reach the cave, once inside kill the trolls then head down the ladders, till u get to the bottom of blight town, once in the swamp, you need to turn left and head towards the big/yellow/grey tree.

If i go to the forest, with them Crystal Monsters, Do i run past them and look on me left, or are you talking about the whole in the cave before them?

Go towards them but turn right - u should end up at a castle door, open it.

I done the sewer Level, i just dont like the look of the entrance, them Trolls have a Freaking hard hit if they get you, and your easily knocked of the edge, i only got as far as the 3rd troll, and was mullered by the Swarm of humans and poison Darts.

Yeah u can block the first swing or just move around the back of them when they do that swing, backstab em or lure them to you and run up the ladder, they fall off.

[theENIGMATRON]

Nice one Cheers for the Info Guys!!!
Massive help!! going to hammer this later now

Yer should of waited and come back to him, 6 Hits and he was K.Oed

Sword is impressive, It can be done up to 300 Damage then + stats i think.
But its a big heavy sword so its Slow thats the only issue,
Its good with loads of people grouped together, Like Rats and so on, One swipe takes them all out

I like the faster Swords, but ill have to wait till i collect i think!!

(Like the ones we used to run round with Sys in Demon Souls)
Them Jaggard Blades, We have both had two of them!! they where good, but Magic Base was it not.

[Symonator]

yeah p.s sending u a pm.

[InfiniteStates]

LOL just got around to watching that soul farm vid a few pages back...that some funny commentary. Especially when the axe guy fucks him up

[theENIGMATRON]

Well i had a good run of the mills last night

I just really need to look at my weapons now to balance them stats,

That Armour i picked up last night Si, The Skirt it great,
The rest is poo,
I have a mixed Match, Some Knight Armour with +5 Leather gloves +2
That skirt, and something else,
Gives me a great Balance in Magic Defence, Slash Defence and Poison etc

I do feel my sword just lets it down now,
Its a great sword, For a Massive hit, But slow,
But then it stuns too, and its hard to block against,
Would like something a little quicker but am going to kill the Wiki and see.

Done that Bitch of a level last night! Thanks to a Individual
So am back at the Blacksmith waiting to prawl though the next level

[theENIGMATRON]

Need to source Alot of Twinkling Titanite.
Want to upgrade this sword all the way!!!

Also i want the Dragon Greatsword, but would have to jump up 10 or 20 levels to use it

[InfiniteStates]

I got some of that yesterday by trading the anti-poison purple moss stuff with the crow in the tutorial map (drop in crow's nest, quit to menu, reload, collect profit). However, she told me to fuck off after I'd done it twice, so I don't know if you can reset the trade or that's it for this play through or what. But if you find out let, me know...

[Symonator]

how did the soul farming go last night dave .

Also states just seen your edit..

if u come out of the top of blighttown using the wheel and ladders, at the top of the ladders is a key in a chest.. this opens the shortcut gate to firelink.

So once u get that, come out of the blight town top area as mentioned, walk across the plank bridge and there is a gate u unlock which puts u at the bottom of new londo ruins, go up the stairs and firelink is right there.

P.s

Valley of the drakes i am not really sure why it's in the game there is no boss for it - just seems to be an annoying area with lots of dragons

[InfiniteStates]

Oh right - yeah I new about that route. I thought there was a door directly to Firelink. I quite like reminding those brain dead AI in New Londo Ruins that I'm coming through... Especially the guy lying on the cliff top.

How hard is that ghost place you can get to from the Ruins? I've only got 2 of those curses that let you fight ghosts, so I've kind of avoided it...
