Dark Souls (Project Dark) - October 4, 2011

Killed the butterfly, it's a pretty boring fight, dodge for 2 minutes, whack for 20 seconds, dodge for 2 minutes, whack for 20 seconds, dodge for 2 minutes, 1 whack to finish it off. The shield it makes sounds interesting, any reason to take the spear first over the shield?

Ahh by the way, which tail is it that you have to chop off? I kept swinging at his actual tail in the back and it never came off.

You have to hit near the tip of the middle one.

The tip of the tail?! :hot:
Damn! I spent like 10 minutes trying to hit the tail in general and nothing.
 
Well you have to destroy the crystal at the back before you cut off Seath's tail. You can hit the end, since probably the last 1/3rd of his tail is the part that comes off once you do enough damage.

Butterfly shield might be broken, it does a massive amount of damage which the secondary, way more than crystal homing souls even.

You have to destroy the crystal to hurt Seath at all.

You can't use the butterfly shield all that much before it wears out. It's damage also depends on the weapon you have equipped in your right hand.

I spent a bunch of time hitting the tip and it didn't come off for me either. Pain in the ass to try since he does his tail thrash attack while you're back there. I finally gave up and just attacked his side tail and the battle was cake. No Moonlight Sword for me, though :(
 
You guys are slicing with an overhead strike, right? Chances of success from my own experience is just slashing at it wildly will do nothing, but if you 2H a sword and strike downward it severs.

Sen's Fortress was really easy IMO. As long as you progress cautiously, nothing really can kill you. New Londo Ruins on the other hand...now thats a place worth going nuts over *walks away ranting* And from what I hear, I'm going to have either an impossible time cutting off that tail, or an extremely lucky time... hope its #2 lol. I'l take your advice on 2-handing something when I attempt Jodou! :D

Why would this be the only enemy that requires that?
I remember I took the tail off the gargoyle while 1H a sword.

I never said it was only him. I missed Priscilla the first time because I treated her the same way as the gargoyles. You can take the advice or leave it, I don't really care lol.
 
It's the amount of damage you do to the tail, not overhead swing or 1 handed.

Yeah New Londo Ruins is the worst place in the game. The ghosts that you can only hit if you're cursed or transient cursed. The Darkwraiths seem to be the most deadly human sized enemies in the game, even moreso then Black Knights IMO. And Four Kings have the most HP of any boss in the game, and they're freaking deadly....jesus.

I don't have a problem hitting them - I have a "Greatsword of Artorias" (the cursed version) great damage and not so bad attack speed/pattern - especially R2 being a nice long forward lunge. What I find to be the real problem in New Londo Ruins is properly defending yourself. I've been doing a lot of theorizing about it lately, but haven't actually tested any of it yet mainly because I've been caught up doing so many other things lol. Just started playing Vindictus (Free-to-play MMO, quite nice actually ^^) a friend visiting NYC that I don't get to see often, training in SSF4, etc. etc.

I highly recommend Greatsword of Artorias to all - its quite nice being able to hit them without needing Transient Curse item or actually being cursed. Still working on better advice regarding defending ourselves though ^^;
 
Butterfly has to be the easiest boss. Sif then ate me. :). I do have a question though - shouldn't my shield stop all damage from his jump/bite attack? I thought it was block, attack, block, attack, dodge his roll, etc.....

For ghosts just use the transient curse and stick to your main weapons. By the time one wears off you can farm 2-3 just from clearing. I had something like 50+ of them by the time I got my plat.

Well, I ran in there about 10 times and couldn't get past the swinging axe things. The first few times I got knocked off because to me the perspective when turning the camera is really difficult to tell where exactly they are. But I mostly got that figured out. Then, just when I was making some progress, the snake mages would hit me with spells and knock me back into them. Then I'd get knocked off and killed by the demons below. So I contend your point that "nothing can really kill you". I'm stocking up on poison arrows and will try to use those take out the snake mages (especially that one on the second portion of the axes that sits right at the end and blasts you as you run though - I managed to run through unscathed the last time and he hit me back into the last axe with his lightning attack :bomb:).

On the plus side, I went back and helped someone out with Gaping Dragon. That was pretty easy even though stupid Solaire died yet again. I don't see how you can keep him alive for these fights. In my 2 attempts to summon him + 3 other people bringing him in when I was a phantom, he only survived once and that was on the gargoyles. I keep trying to get summoned back for that fight but I must be too high a level for it now. I should be down to just 35 Faith for his covenant though so that's good.

I haven't gotten to these guys yet so I have no idea what these battles look like (I've managed to get all the tails I've had a chance at so far: Drake Sword, Gargoyle, Gaping Dragon, and the easy one with the covenant), but what do you mean by "overhead strike"? You mean climbing up and doing a diving attack or is this something else?
 
Mean, Gaping dragon almost destroyed my pyromancy flame, I got the "weapon in danger!" warning as it spewed crap all over me while it was dying, I would have been pissed if I lost that as I wouldn't have been able to do pyromancy the rest of the playthrough right?
 
Bed of Chaos isn't just hard, its CHEAP. Hey you need to get close to me? Let me just do two swipes, one of which you probably won't have enough stamina to block, when you're right near this narrow path in an endless pit you need to jump on. Oh you're almost about to kill me? And you're in a narrow path where you have nowhere else to go? Let me shoot some unblockable fire thorugh the floor that does massive damage.

fuck this shit. There are a couple of bosses in this game that are just so cheap, I don't want ot play this game agagin because of them. Platinuming it then throwing it in the garbage.

Demon's Souls was never like this. No sir.

no he means the attack animation. for example if you two hand the drake sword the attacks become vertical up and down motions instead of the sweeping attacks it does in one hand.
 
^ OK, thanks. If/when I get there I'll be sure to two-hand the Drake sword and go for the tail first. I assume it is better to die repeatedly trying to get that first than to kill him off and miss it this playthrough.

Whaa? Your pyromancy flame can get destroyed? I've had one for a while and never yet had to repair it - or is that not possible? You sure it wasn't your shield or something else? Shields are considered weapons in this game.

Yep, I repaired my sword and I was perplexed why I still had the warning, then I saw the flame on my repair list and I was like "waa huh?" Since you don't strike with it it never takes combat damage but I guess it is susceptible to corrosive attacks which target your equipment, it has a max durability of 30. I might of had it out when I got spewed on as I saved all my flame attacks for after I had cut the tail off so I don't know if it is only attacked while you have it out or if it is attacked even when you are switched to the other hand.
 
0-4 with Sif. Not sure what I can do besides level more and pump up END more. Anything other than lightning spear, a 100% dam shield & maybe the damage reduction ring?

What's getting me is the slow arcing double swing. It usually occurs when I have rolled back to recover stamina then I cannot get close enough to avoid it.

Dark Souls spin-off starring Alvina and Sif confirmed?

If a weapon's durability actually hits 0, you lose that weapon? I always figured you just weren't able to use it until you repaired it. I thought that's how it worked in Demon's Souls, but I could be remembering things wrong.
 
OK, got my ass handed to me by Sif. I can get him down to like 75%, but I'm just not fast enough and I can't take more than one of his hits. I moved on and killed the Moonlight Butterfly.

Here is my question: How do you get to those dead guys with the white glowing souls that are on the mountain outside the Moonlight Butterfly area? I haven't seen any way down there, and when I'm just entering Darkroot Garden from the blacksmith, I can see the treasure, but can't figure out how to get over there.

I had the same question - I figured the path was obvious once you were up above (I haven't been there yet). I see lots of comments about "shortcut" and "jump" near where you see that one but I figured they were all BS (as it looks like any jumping would result in you falling down that deep canyon).

I found it; it's not jumping and falling. Go into that area to your 3 o'clock when you're facing the forest, and it's at your 12. The hidden bonfire is at your 11 o'clock.

Go down to the bottom, beware of the tree monsters on your right. Go into the fog door (if you haven't already). I believe it is to your right, there's a big tree there in the middle of some rocks, you can hit it and kill it; then it disappears. Go down the path. There's a red manta-ray thing that hits you with its tongue. If you go down there, and explore that area, you'll find a doorway that's like a broken down castle-like place. Go up the stairs, there'll be a giant you have to kill. That path leads to the area under the Moonlight Butterfly.

That maximum strength soul arrow can kill the giant in 2 or 3 hits.

Wwo, that's pretty crazy - and I haven't seen that in any of the guides. What is the treasure - worth getting?

So tonight I decided to go back to Blighttown and get near the beginning (as I hadn't found Power Within yet). I cleared that out and then died trying to jump to that platform with the stupid weapon it. I got trapped in a corner by 4 of those idiot guys trying to get back up there and got killed again and lost like 9000 souls... Damn...

Anyway, I also had a strange encounter down in the swamp. So I've killed Quelaag but not done anything past that. Right across from the sewer bonfire in the Blighttown swamp there is a guy standing on a small island. The bugs fly right over him and come towards you. I thought maybe it was the pyro guy from Firelink who left after I met Quelana. But I also noticed the merchant in The Depths (the one who sells the bottomless box) is also gone. But this guy is clearly a pyromancer. As I approached him he started attacking me, so I killed him. All I got was 1000 souls and no item.

My big question is was this a mistake? Is this someone I need later? Has anyone else encountered him? Does he always just attack or did something strange happen (I was shooting soul arrows at the bugs but that shouldn't have hit him). I didn't see anything in Jodou's guide abotu him - but I'm just slightly concerned he may be some NPC I am supposed to meet somewhere else later - though that seems unlikely. Most probably it was the pyro treacher from Firelink Shrine - and I was done with him anyway.

I have a PS+ backup save from before I started playing tonight. I'd hate to have to go through Blighttown again but other than that I didn't make much progress (what with losing all those souls). I could download that and leave that guy alone/try to talk to him. Or does it simply not matter? I've just never seen him mentioned anywhere - that is a regular (non-hollow looking) guy in the swamp that fights you.

Edit: Poked around the Gamefaqs forums and that was apparently Laurentius (the pyro guy from Firelink). They are saying he goes hollow when he goes to Blighttown and you just have to kill him. So you can't buy stuff from him after he leaves? Jodou in your wrap-up section you say to buy stuff from him before the end - but that doesn't seem possible. In any case, I got all his stuff. One other thing that I'm seeing on Gamefaqs that makes no sense. People are saying you have to have pyro flame to +10 to buy from Quelana? I bought a few from her, including some of her exclusives, with my Pyro flame at +5 or +6.

The only way he should have left Firelink is if you got your pyro flame to +15 and ascended it. Then when you talking to him in Firelink again, he'll ask to see it. If you should it to him, he'll leave to try to find its secrets or something and turn hollow in the swamp.

The Merchant in the Depths moves to Firelink immediately after you finish the Depths. He's underneath the bridge and you have to jump for him.
 
If I remember right, that treasure under the butterfly is the Wolf's ring which gives +40 poise which I find is quite handy as it lets you complete swings some times even when they strike you first, saved my ass while those friggin poison snipers kept plinking me while I was fighting groups of enemies in Blight town.

I was wrong about the repair items thing, it was a rumor I heard when the game came out that broken items completely disappear. It is only crystal weapons that completely disappear when they break.

Beat the Depths, entered blight town, then retreated and ran around with my rat humanity to kindle all the available fires, went back up to firelink and ram horn merchant wasn't under the bridge. Maybe I had to reload my save game in order for him to move to firelink?

On the bright side, the channeler in the Depths dropped a trident so now I don't have to mess with farming for it later :bouncy:.
 
It's interesting how different people have problems with different bosses. Dunno if it's how they play the game or how they've upgraded their stats differently or what. For example, I beat Sif on my very first try with absolutely no problem; I don't even remember if I got hit. But I sucked against Quelaag and the Stray Demon, which I know some people here thought were easy.

Last night I beat Pinwheel so fast that I didn't even get to see more than one of his attacks. (I summoned Paladin Leeroy and he had it down to 1/2 health before I did anything. Then I cast Great Fireball twice and it was dead. Crazy.)

On a related note, I just cleared the Catacombs and they were super easy. I guess I was "supposed" to do them earlier in the game (instead of after Duke's Archives)? I can't get anywhere in Tomb of the Giants though since I can't see. If I leave to get the Cast Light spell, is there any shortcut back? I assume so since the Blacksmith is down there and running through the whole catacombs level just to get to him would be a pain in the ass (even using the shortcut where you fall down the hole into his hallway).

Let me put it this way: how would you chop wood blocks with an axe IRL?
 
[quote name='guardian_owl']Hmm, what was your gear / strategy vs. Sif? Anytime I try to get close to him he just pounds me with his wide horizontal attacks.[/QUOTE]

I don't remember exactly. I was definitely using the Lightning Spear (+3 I think) at the time. And I had most of my stats in Vitality and Endurance which I'm sure helped. I was under 25% so no special heavy armor or anything. It was before I got the gold-hemmed stuff, so probably a couple of pieces of the Crimson set and maybe the sorceror's boots (just cause they only weigh one pound)? And I was using the Heater Shield at the time since it doesn't weigh much and blocks 100% physical.

I don't remember my tactics, though I think I stayed pretty close to him the whole time. Like I said, the fight seemed really easy and went quickly so I don't even remember any attack patterns or strategy. Now, if you need detailed descriptions of the Anor Londo boss attacks and a strategy for that, I can provide those since I fought that a gazillion times.
 
[quote name='Jodou']Let me put it this way: how would you chop wood blocks with an axe IRL?[/QUOTE]

I can't be totally certain of course, but I really don't think the attack motion matters for chopping off tails. I think it's just the amount of damage (and maybe where you hit it for Seath).

Nope, enjoy the run. You can shortcut it by jumping from bridge to bridge and then dropping down to where you summon Leeroy, but otherwise you have to hoof it.
 
I haven't read any guides, so can anyone tell me where the pyromancer is?

To io, yes, I believe Guardian Owl is correct, I believe it was the Wold Ring. I also got a Soul of a Brave Warrior somewhere around there (maybe in that surrounding enclave), but I can't recall exactly.

Also, I got my divine weapon; apparently, you can keep the skeletons from reviving if you have a divine weapon in your off hand.

You have to outsmart him. He will bait you until you back off and pounce once you do. When he does that, it's easy to get under him and swing away. Sometimes he'll pounce and jump away though, so just guard the first attack. Endurance isn't really a huge factor with him unless you just eat his attacks. Super easy to dodge roll under them.[quote name='jh6269']Also, I got my divine weapon; apparently, you can keep the skeletons from reviving if you have a divine weapon in your off hand.[/QUOTE]Ideally just use Astora's that you can get from the sleeping Zombie Dragon at the start of the game. You can stop using it if you ever come back once the firekeepers are dead BTW.

Yes, there is a warrior soul on the left side of the the cliff guarded by several of those manta ray things, keep heading straight past the entrance to the tunnel up to the wolf ring then follow the cliff to the left.

Also, another thing folks may have missed is in the area above with all the stone knights, on the left side is a narrow passageway which leads to a spear-type weapon.

For 1st pyromancer, in the Depths after you kill the second Butcher, turn left and roll into all the barrels, one of them in the corner holds the dude.

Ha ha, I forgot you could use Astora's sword. I raised my faith to 14 just so I could use it, but then forgot about that and made a Divine Claymore +3 anyway. Still was really satisfying knocking the skeletons around with a big sword. It's the biggest one I've ever used in Demon's Souls or Dark Souls, believe it or not.
 
Claymores are fun, I remember it swinging faster 1-handed in Demon's souls though.

Biggest sword I used for PVE was the dragon bone smasher 1-handed. R1 followed by R2 is a pretty quick 2-hit combo for horizontal slashing weapons, still works in Dark Souls too I use it to kill enemies in 2-strikes with the Drake Sword which would take 3 R1 strikes and probably twice as long to attack.
 
I heard the recommended number the faith stat should be was 17 right? That increases your attunement slots, and then for intelligence just about at 13?

Thanks for the info though.

The attunement stat affects attunement slots, not Faith or Intelligence. How high you want Faith and Int to go depends on what miracles and spells you want to use, or if you're making a character who primarily does damage using spells or weapons that scale with Faith or Int.
 
So, I'm in darkroom garden and admiring the Easter armor set when I get chomped on by a tree folk. I also notice a couple of the knights around. I'm thinking okay, I'll deal with it when the collage lets go. It lets go and drops me through the world. Wish I would've had it on my capture device because I fell for about 20-25 seconds before dying. Just rings do grey around me. Weird.
 
Ugh, On NG+ at Ornstein & Smough. My first play-through I beat Smough first and then Ornstein. This time, im killing Ornstein fairly easily but Smough keeps raping me. I summoned Solare but he doesn't survive long against Smough. Died about 10 times and had to take a break because of stress.

I just rescued Big Hat Logan, so I guess I need to go back to Firelink and buy another Soul Spear, it seems to be quite effective.
