Dark Souls: Prepare to Die (PS3/360/PC)

[Souj]

Sick of these capras. can't kick or parry them

[Vendog]

I killed the 2 gargoyles is the Capra Demon in lower Undead Burg next? If not where do I go I'm kinda lost.

WHY IS THE MONSTER IN FIRESHRINE BENT OVER HE WONT BUY MY SHIT

[Souj]

you can go..anywhere. you just have better odds of surviving some places than others.
But yes, if you're after the bells, after the undstead parish bell, you need to beat Capra Demon to gain access to the Depths which will take you to Blighttown which will take you to the 2nd bell. Or you can skip Capra Demon. Got to Darkroot Ravine, go into Valley of the Drakes, Run past 3 viscous little dragons and 1 really cranky big dragon, and that will take you unto the tail end of Blighttown.

Btw, was probably already mentioned, but if you guys are low on health and having a hard time, the Ring of Evil Eye is pretty damn useful. It helped me a lot through the Catacombs. I switch it on and off with the endurance ring depending on the situation.

[Souj]

I hate this Demon place.. After Ceaseless Discharge. This bonfire location sucks, though I guess it's better than no location, but now I'm stuck between 6-7 Capra Demons and 3 Minotaurs, and a big giant bug I would have sworn would have agroed when I grabbed the item it was guarding, so now I'm super paranoid about that.

There's a bonfire after the Capra section to the right after you go down the stairs.

So I join the forest covenants and invaded a player and successfully killed him...I went back to my world and out of nowhere i got 2000 souls out of the blue and sheva and the other npc started attacking me which i have no freaking idea why so i ran back to bonfire. Did i just get fucked by the game?

[Ragnell]

So any tips on how to invade while in the forest? Im trying to get that damn ring :/ before I start using em all for grinding again

Spent a little time farming titanite chunks in New Londo, this is a lot easier than I expected. For future reference, if anyone wants to try it, this is what I did:

Spoiler: show

They drop from Darkwraiths, so ideally you want to fight as many of those as possible while avoiding everything else. You don't need to have done the New Londo boss yet, but you have to have already drained the water so you can get to the bottom of the level.

From the fire shrine, you're mostly taking the short path to the boss (the path this guy takes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvoeFbH8hHc), with a few extra stops along the way.

After falling down the cliff to the bottom where the water used to be, there's one wraith on the raised platform. Behind his spawn point there's a hidden door through the wall with another wraith.

From there, backtrack through the water into the steps of the church (the building with the elevator that would take you back upstairs) and you'll get attacked by 4 more back to back. If you can't kill them off in one shot, you might want to take the elevator down instead of taking the shortcut and dropping to the lower section, so you can kill them one at a time. If you take this path they all aggro more or less at the same time, so you'll end up fighting 3~4 of them simultaneously.

After that, if you run into the church and go to the entrance on the other side, there's another wraith.

Then book it to the building right before the boss, where there's 2 more wraiths and 2~3 ghosts, which you can either fight or ignore depending on how confident you are about not getting death-grabbed while you're running away. I usually just fight them to be safe. Finally when you exit the building towards the stairs down to the boss, take a right and there's another wraith hiding in the corner.

At this point you can use the bonfire in the boss room to get back or, if you haven't killed the boss yet, use/cast a Homeward back to Firelink. Repeat as necessary. At 359 item discovery, I got about 1 titanite chunk per run. Once I had it down, each run got 8 kills and took about ~5 mins, one shotting all of the wraiths with Fire Orb.

that's the bonfire I'm talking about. Still a pain in the ass. I keep getting killed by the minotaurs.
The single Capra isn't much of a problem, just time consuming. same with the statues. By the minotaurs and the bridge with the super annoying holes, that's really starting to piss me off. I'd hate to just try and make a run for the yellow door and miss the item on the upper section guarded by the worm and whatever is to the left, guarded by those 2 minotaur, but I'm about to just say fuck it

pretty much, one of those forest hunters probably fell off a cliff

Yeah, something similar happened to me too, although I'm not sure on the specific details. Only way to get the ring now on the playthrough is through Snuggly.

[Souj]

This was a dead end?... Went through all those Capras, all those Minotaurs, all those worms, for a yellow fog door I can't open and the large flame ember?
I assume I have to go back into Blighttown and tek the exit to Valley of the drakes?

[Tekki]

I think you need a lordsomething or rather. Thanks for the heads up. Im just going to turn around and head back to blighttown to explore the deep hollow then go back up to go to that place that opened up after the 2nd bell. Btw. The spiderbitch who lets you join a covenant can also upgrade your flask

Anyone tried the whip, is it decent? How's the moveset? lol

[Souj]

Where's that NPC at? I've never seen her.

edit: read a message on the ground that told me of the illusionary wall.
but thankfully due to people talking about it on the page, I didnt attack the guy in the way, even though some jackass left a message saying to attack it.

[Maguspk]

Can't figure out how to approach snake mob shooting lightning from behind a gauntlet of swinging axes in Sen's not even 10 feet in, fuck this...*turn off PS3*

Any suggestions on where I should go next or what I should upgrade? Been using Drake Sword but I want to use this Large Amber, Kellog Soul and/or Titanite (green, red, large, etc.) that I've amassed. I've already beaten Ceaseless Discharge, Kellogg (fire spider bitch) and Gaping Demon. Haven't killed any bosses in the forest yet, believe Sif and Butterfly are out there?

I saw people mentioning Iato, I got it but I don't have the 20 dex yet although I'm close (@18 currently). Can you upgrade it into Lightning Iato or is that a spear I think someone mentioned you get a spear that makes Iato useless in Sen's? I didn't get very far in.

[Souj]

The butterfly is pretty easy. Drops a soul used to upgrade shield I think. Sif on the other hand, I had to stop attempting and move on. Kept getting my ass beat and it wasn't even close.

[Vendog]

So how do I manage this thing (Capra Demon in Lower Undead Burg) every time I walk in he just pounds me 2 times then dead.

Also what do I do with all the unused equipment that I am getting is there a way to sell it?
