Yeah, you get the Dragon Greatsword

Too high level to get summoned anywhere. Sunlight medals might pose a problem as well, it looks like I got 3 somehow so with the 3 playthroughs required that's still 9/10

You can get 7 Medals each playthrough as far as I know, the 3 from the chest, one from saving Lautrec, one for summoning Solaire against the Gargoyles, one for summoning him against the Centipede Demon and

Spoiler: show

Completing his storyline and summoning him against Gwyn.

Edit: Forgot about the Smough/Ornstein fight and the Gaping Dragon. Should make it 9 per playthrough. Just remember he has to be alive when the fight's over.

Interesting, luckily enough i just got the ability to teleport so i guess im gonna go back and get that. I really like the tail cutting aspect of the game, but i wish there were other parts you could cut off and get items from, even if it were to be from different enemies.

I stuck with the Eagle Shield throughout most of the game, becomes really great when you upgrade it.

[Tonko]

I rotate depending on my blocking needs.
Physical & Fire is Black Knight Shield +5
Magic is Crystal Ring Shield +5
Lightning (which is almost never) is the Effigy Shield, haven't upgraded it though.

Question. Does cutting off his tail make him pissed off at you?

[SilentGrief]

As long as you only hit the tail, he shouldn't get angry at you.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

What did people make thier Iaito when they leveled it up? I'm on +5 Iaito right now. Debating on what to make it.

[Kaelan?]

Eagle shield all the way, awesome stability when fully upgraded

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I'm doing the Black Knight Shield myself.

Wtf is the item on the side of the tower with the Red Eye Soapstone at the very top in the painted world? I'm guessing you have to fall somewhere from the top over the side but I don't know if it's worth it...Anyone get it?

[-Zer0-]

Was just kicked out of the game for an update!

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I wonder if they're patching the infinite souls thing

[-Zer0-]

Just tested it. Still works on brobox. Maybe it's for the enemies or something else.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

What soul level are you, Zero?

[-Zer0-]

61

After several tries, managed to finally help someone take out Four Kings on NG+ (I guess it's my SLvl, at 65 everyone that summons me seems to be doing NG+ while I'm still on my first game).

As usual, the effective mage strategy is simple as balls, can't believe I never thought of it sooner: wear heavy armor (I used Black Iron body+5/gloves+2, antiquated skirt+5) and ring of steel protection, walk up to the boss, cast Iron Flesh and spam Fire Orbs till you're blue in the face.

Can pretty much ignore everything the boss does at that point, everything hits for 5~10% tops and Iron Flesh makes you immune to knockdown and spell interruption. Rebuff when one king dies, repeat till they're all dead, lol. Makes this fight sooo much easier.

So, I killed a white Church Ninja, it dropped something but the game won't let me pick it up. I think I'm being trolled.
