Demon's Souls

You have a pretty vague choice at the very end. Choose A and get a spell and some souls and a PSN trophy. Choose B get Red Eye Stone and many more souls and no trophy.

Personally, the spell seems quite nice so first game will be that ending, after that my next ending I will nab the Red Eye.

Yeah I chose A basically. The red eye stone can wait. I'm trying for the platinum trophy now.

So easy to fuck yourself over =/ First time took me to NG++++++ Trying for only NG+++ in US version.

Finally got to the 4-2 farming area, farmed for a bit then used a magic spell and it made me fall off the edge. I panicked and turned off the game, told myself I wouldn't but it corrupted the game.

[Kwijiboe]

Oh man, wow, lol. I have a low level character if you need help catching back up.

[Null]

Sounds good, gonna play a bit later though since my nephew is over. He had come in and it was what made me mess up while playing. I hate when people watch me play games like this.

Think as long as I get the makoto and the pure clearstone without screwing up on my second run everything else shouldn't be so bad.

Also how much harder is NG+ supposed to be? I just took out the tower knight in 20 seconds -.-

[Kwijiboe]

Enemies just have higher defense and HP, don't expect curveballs.. ie. If you got the technique down, the game won't feel that much harder. But it is definitely a substantial jump in enemy defense and HP.

I hate 4-1 and 4-2 the most.

[Darus Grey]

Enemy damage too, if you play a non-armored low vitality character *everything* in NG+ will 1 shot you instead of 2-3 shot.

As I said, NG+ and beyond is heavily biased towards Melee, Magic is just less useful because until you're 400+ SLs to where you have maxxed magic/faith/endurance/vitality, your margin of error gets cut to "don't make any mistakes, not 1, ever" as opposed to regular game which is fairly generous.

XD The wiki says each new game adds 8% more difficulty so do with that info what you will.

Wow Null, that... really sucks. =( I still need to figure out what weapon to use most often, OTHER than bow i mean. I generally have the Dragon Bone Smasher with me, but damn it is heavy. Is there another 'generally uber' weapon to aim for via upgrade? I seem to have effed myself on the Makoto. Don't think that I can grab it since I am done with all of 4 and it is still up on the stone.

Also lost track of Ostrava at some point, after I saved him in 1-1 he somehow died/disappeared and was never in 1-2 so Demonbrandt is out.

Recommendations? I have 30 STR, 32ish DEX and i think around 30 END. Was probably going to get more END now, at around level 82ish.

[Kuya]

It was my understanding that if he did in fact die (Ostrava) then his item should be in whichever point he spawns. His items stays (or so i heard) but his soul is gone if you leave the zone when he dies.

[Doombear]

Oh? I assumed that like nearly all other items, if you die before you pick it up... it is gone. Like killing a gecko then getting killed before you pick up its loot.

Hmm, I have looked over quite a bit of 1-1 and didn't see any items laying around. I guess I will go back and scour the place. I am not too hopeful though.

[Oravis]

Woo got the makoto and with it the Soldier's trophy. This one black phantom kept invading me the entire time I was making my way through 4-1 and the begining of 4-2 for it. But its thanks to him I got pure white Tendancy so fast so I can't be mad.

[Kwijiboe]

The 8% is referring to each subsequent NG+. Not NG+, but NG++.

[Doombear]

You making reading look so easy Kwijiboe =P Thanks for the correction.

EDIT: Bah, i want to get invaded. I really wish i had any idea (from official forums or anywhere) what was causing my DS Server connection issues. Internet/PSN/ETC is all just fine... but only have ghosts/stains for so long then poof. =(

Normally this is true. But I think they make an exception for special items like keys. I actually die to Ostrava, and he killed himself during my death animation as he fell off the platform in 1-4. I came back later and his key was sitting at the bottom of the stairs where he spawns. So... I'd check the cells he spawns in, or maybe you have to wait til 1-4.

Its a glitch in the game. They need to patch it.

[Cephius]

Also does anyone know why they're advising you to log off the game when they do maintenance on the servers tomorrow? I mean... you can still play offline can't you?

[AoE]

Got to play with Gekii today. Although I nubbed a bit on the 1-4 boss, it was pretty fun times.
