[quote name='Brainberry']Where are the best places to farm/get these?
1.Large Titanite Shard
2.Green Titanite Shard
3.Twinkle Titanite Shard
[/QUOTE]

1.Worms in Depth Swamp, left of bonfire, around the great hollow tree.
2.Jellies? in the Depth sewers. 1 hit fire kill.
3.Clams in Ash Lake. There are 2 little raised hills that they can't walk over so guide them to that side and attack form the other.


Correction: Blight Town Swamp.
 
[quote name='ChibiJosh']1. and 2. You can buy both of these. If you want an enemy drop, blobs in the depths can drop both

3. According to the guide, there is only one enemy that can drop these and that's the Man-Eater Shell. They're in Ash Lake or the Crystal Cave (and according to the guide, the ones in the Crystal Cave has a 100% drop rate for them).[/QUOTE]

What vendor sell them?

Thank you!
 
I need a little advice on Blight town. I'm SL 28 and getting pounded when I walk in there. I think the only thing I have not killed are the Dragon on the bridge and Haven before that. My thoughts are to go grind out Haven and get the ring so I can wear armor. Should I do that and grind a few levels as well? Will I miss anything if I take the shortcut to the end through the Valley of the Drakes?

Sorry for the 20 questions.
 
I don't know if this question has been asked before but I barely got cursed and I'm wondering how are you able to take that off?

Remember that
creepy preacher-like character
you met after climbing down from the roof after ringing the first bell? He sells an item to fix it for 3K souls.
 
[quote name='IRHari']What level are you currently and what are your stats? I'm like Slvl 17, just entetered lower Undead Parish. I love the feeling you get when you unlock a shortcut and you realize you don't ahve to go thorugh the long brutal way anymore ;) I want to make sure I'm speccing such that my guy doesn't suck endgame.

I don't know how they'll make NG++, +++, etc. They can't make it harder and harder if your level eventually caps but the enemies doesn't....right?

Also, did anyone try to Dragonhead infinite item cheat with humanity? Confirmed to give infinite humanity?[/QUOTE]
I'm SL100 because I'm still debating how to allocate my final stats. Chances are if the PvP crowd starts showing up at 125 again, I'd probably redo my character anyway.

With shortcuts, this game is brutal. The further in you are, the more they like to hide them and bonfires. For as punishing as the game is, I think this is a misstep since with practice this shit just gets tedious. I'm right at the final boss now and they made this game far too long. The level design for the final areas even feels like they started to get lazy because after you get through the shithole that is catacombs and tomb of giants, it feels like a walk in the park. I'm not sure if I even want to play through this again two more times for the plat because it seriously burns you out.

I used the exploit last night and it works on any item you can equip. Humanity caps at 99, but is worthless after 30 anyway unless you're ranking up chaos servant (which you need to spend 30 for a spell if you want that trophy). That brings me to probably my only complaint for the game: there's just too many secrets and shit going on to keep track of.

I'm a completionist and this shit drives me nuts. Seriously, even when I was using the guide for certain areas, do you think they would mention that black phantom X is here and you need to be human for him to invade? NOPE! And now that the boss is dead, guess what I get to do if I want to get their weapon: NG+. That's just one example, but when you're trying to accomplish as much as you can on the first playthrough, it really doesn't help when they're constantly moving NPCs around where you buy spells from and even removing them from the game at certain times. Demon's Souls was just much less complicated and sadly, I see it as the superior game in terms of design. The bosses were a hell of a lot more engaging to beat, too.

So can anyone walk me through upgrading weapons and ascension? I seriously don't understand what I'm doing wrong that none of the blacksmiths will upgrade my Scimitar+5 to +6 and higher. I want to make Queelag's Furysword and I assume you need a Scimitar+10 for ascension. You guys had started listing items that made getting certain trophies easier I think, yet I can't find any blacksmiths that will touch them even though I'm almost positive I have handed out all the embers in the game now. Seriously, this shit should not be this complicated so I have no clue what is wrong.
 
[quote name='twiceborn']Holy-stuttering-framrate, is blighttown made a heluva lot more difficult when its all choppy and your character controls like shit. I don't understand why the fps' are so low when you can barely see ten feet in front of you.

Btw for those that have explored the bright area in the corner, which vaguely resembles a desert, is there anything of significance over there? And how tough are the enemies?[/QUOTE]
Dude, it only gets worse every time you're in an area with massive depth and enemies. Anor Londo is a fucking PITA when you're outdoors and trying to dodge incoming arrows from both sides and not fall of the narrow ledges. They really, really needed to fine tune this better.
 
[quote name='Jodou']when you're trying to accomplish as much as you can on the first playthrough ... Demon's Souls was just much less complicated and sadly, I see it as the superior game in terms of design. [/QUOTE]

I think trying to perfect the game on the first run, rather than just playing it without worrying about doing every possible thing, totally ruins the fun factor. Seems like you think so, too. The extra complexity makes it more interesting to me, especially once I stop thinking about trophies (I platinumed Demon's Souls, but I don't think I'll even try to platinum Dark Souls, since that mindset makes it more fun and less work). I also think if you treated it first as a single-player campaign to explore and finish, and only later as a vehicle for PvP, you would have enjoyed it more. Each to his own, though, just my opinion.

Regarding weapon upgrades, the wiki is starting to get some ok information (still a LONG ways to go though): http://darksouls.wikidot.com/upgrade. Don't miss the first link at the top, which shows a nice chart.
 
I'm trying to experience everything I can the first time through, yes. Now having (almost) completed my first run, I'm going back to the guide and trying to pick up everything I missed and seeing as you can ONLY get some valuable items once per playthrough, it's a worthy expedition IMO. What pisses me off is when I can no longer get or do something and the only recourse is to do it all over again. With a game as long as this, that to me becomes the chore knowing I have to clear areas again just to progress.

That chart is helpful because it shows I need the large ember to do what I was asking (I guess I missed some or I'm fucked because when the blacksmith first asked about embers I turned him down, but he kept asking so I looked it up). Maybe I was just blind last night, but I don't recall seeing anything like that in the guide to help me figure it out. Future Press, I am disappoint.
[quote name='Brainberry']I hope PvP caps at 125[/QUOTE]I don't know what people will do now that anyone can level cap with ease. I'm about to say fuck it and level cap just so I can breeze through NG+ for the trophies. Would be nice to have a SL713 character anyway in case they ever do patch it.

Make a new toon and power run your ass all the way to ash lake lol

Think its possible to go there straight from the tutorial?

Also, who forges Lightning/Chaos? I did the glitch and bought as many items as I can lol But I'm still at slvl 63. Been going back to Sens to stock up on Green Titanite.

I'm a End/Str build and still looking for the perfect weapon.

Oh, and I got invaded by 1 guy who had a huge club that had a two hand attack that release a shockwave(not the drake sword) and another that was invisible(not able to lock onto)

Any idea what they're using?
 
Gotta be Dragon Greatsword if it was doing shockwaves. I would have guessed Dragon Tooth, but I don't think that has a special strong attack. For a STR build, I'm hearing Gravelord sword all the way for the poison. Seems like a good combo of weight:dmg with the added bonus of permanent poison.

For lightning I'm 100% positive it's the giant in Anor Lando. Chaos I think is the dude in catacombs. Not sure, but it would make the most sense.

I think going above +5 requires the large ember, and the blacksmith near Sen's Fortress/Darkroot Forest gets it. You also need to go to "modify weapon" first and move the top tab to the right ember to get it from +5 to +6 then once it's +6, you got back to the normal upgrade menu. It is needlessly complicated.

There are 4 weapons that you can get to make certain trophies easier (that I know of) and they're all gotten from mimics: lightning spear (Sen's Fortress), occult club (Anor Lando), crystal haliberd (Anor Lando) and enchanted falchion (Duke's Archives).

I think I maxed out my lightning weapon at the blacksmith near Sen's. Although, I could be wrong on that.
 
OMFG, I just found out the PvP matchmaking system has no cap for forest invaders. Lol, I could troll the fuck out of people farming those clansmen at SL713.

Also, ring fog does make you untargetable. It's pretty much a staple of PvP, but if you're any good it doesn't matter.
 
Hey Jodou, when you mentioned earlier about having to be in Human form to be invaded by certain Boss/NPC, would you mind telling me when and where that is so I don't miss it? Also if there are any other places like that as well? I'm sort of completionist as well :X

Yeah sure, the three I know off the top of my head are Painted World where the phalanx is, some butcher bitch in front of the entrance to queelag's, and the other is in the catacombs just before the pinwheel fight. The guide said to fight the last one, you need to summon him by dropping down to a ledge and use the summon sign there. Can't really describe where it's at, so look up a vid or something on Paladin Leeroy (yes, a fucking WoW reference in my Dark Souls).

Man, the more I read up on the PvP forums the more it sounds like this will be dead in weeks due to some really cheap spells and broken matchmaking. I really, really think FROM took a step backwards with this game and I might just say to hell with it when BF3 lands. Most of the people I've fought were horribad anyway. The one decent fight I've had so far was some pyro that invaded me and was obviously using the dark wood ring to extend his rolls. He was the only one that killed me 1v1 but it was my fault for not having the right shield handy (crest vs dragon).

Blighttown Swamps - Near boss area
Tomb of Giants - Near area that was sealed by golden light
Painted World - In the snowy field near the central plaza
The Depths - Bottom of sewers
Demon Ruins - After defeating Ceaseless Discharge
Lost Isalith - Outside doorway of the Boss Bed of Chaos
 
So I was checking metacritic for the worst review I could find to see why they hated it and surprisingly, it's 100% right. These guys really get it and word for word talk about why I'm disappointed in Dark Souls. They felt the same way I did starting out with objectives and how tedious re-clearing can be thanks to unclear shortcuts and bad bonfire positioning. Most of all, they hate the new MP system and I tend to agree. I've had way less PvP encounters this time (although in part my own fault for farming so much :p) and it's mostly due to no dedicated server support.

I think FROM needed to worry less about outdoing themselves on difficulty and just improve on the areas that needed work. Demon's Souls was perfect and upping the difficulty by just trolling people with cheap design is not the way.

That's what I did. Didn't know the other guy sold them for half the price. And 6k souls is no joke at level 25 or whatever I was at the time :(

Yeah, I did the same thing.
 
BTW, I just learned a useful tip/trick yesterday: you can buy multiple copies of the same spell and equip to multiple attunement slots, increasing the number of casts per spell. I bought an extra fireball spell so now I can cast it 16 times instead of 8 times. I guess some of you already knew this, but it wasn't obvious to me, and definitely new from Demon's Souls.

I don't think it deserves a 4/10, it's not that bad. I would rate it at a 7, while DS at a 10.

I agree with you on on From just focusing too much on the difficulty and complexity and not polishing up major aspects of the game. The poor frame rate in certain areas, hit detection, controller responsiveness, and the "upgraded" mp aspect of the game have really diminished my enjoyment of this game.

I wanted to do a blind run of my first play through, but after wasting too many hours wandering aimlessly and having to constantly clear out the same enemies because of it, I'm just going to crack open the guide and just get a general direction on where I need to go and do. Hopefully some of the problems will be patched. And at the very least it will be a learning experience for From not to overextend themselves.
 
Duke's Archive is currently driving me crazy.

I think that was announced back when they first unveiled the new magic system. Of course Demon's Souls didn't have it, there was no reason to equip the same spell twice in that game.

Where's that at? Because I think the Anor Londo Blacksmith need a Ember that ou possibly get from there.
 
Eh, I'm at the Depths, about to fight the boss, can't complain so far about the shortcuts. It really is satisfying to open a door and be like 'holy shit it leads back to HERE where I was 2 hours ago!'

Since the enemies (but NOT bosses) scale with your level, is it really a bad thing to glitch to max level 712? Honestly, the only 'hard' parts of this game so far have been the bosses, and since they don't scale with your level, you should be able to rape them with a max level dude.

If you have unlocked the firelink elevator shortcut to the Undead church you can reach the crows nest and return to the Undead Asylum. Trade with Snuggly the crow in the nest on the left side 1 cracked red orb for 2 x purging stones.

I never would of thought of that, I'll have to make sure to buy multiple copies of my favorite spells, now it makes sense why most higher spells still only take 1 atunement slot. They give you fewer casts than lower spells so that to have the same amount of casts, you need to use more atunement slots, but you also have the flexibility to only use 1 slot if you won't use the spell that often, you didn't have that option in Demon's Souls. Though I think it would have made more sense if you could just purchase the spell once and equip it multiple times. I'll have to remember to buy and equip heal a second time.

You probably can't get there yet. Before you can go in, you have to
put the boss' soul from the abyss in the Lordvessel
and then you'll get a cut scene of a bunch of places opening up. You get there from Anor Londo, it's near the first bonfire.

I don't think they scale, but the same enemy can have way different stats in different areas. By the blacksmith the tree monsters in the garden take me 2 hits max to take down, but on the other side of the 20K locked door it takes me 6-8 hits to kill the same tree monsters (for the same 100 souls). So as you move to new areas, the same enemy type may become progressively harder leading to the illusion that it is scaling with your soul level.
 
I might just max out so I can plat the game easier.

Then just make a new toon for PvP since my build right now is terrible anyways lol

I noticed that too about the tree monsters. I underestimated them after I killed the hydra and climbed up the back way into the 20k door area. The knights that you first see near the Undead Church are similar I think. I found a couple more in Sen's Fortress that seemed to be upgraded but they at least gave 500 souls instead of the 100 they gave at first. I can still go back and one shot the undead in the church with the Drake Sword though so I don't think there's any scaling going on.

I think the one thing they could have done differently is make the bonfires easier to find. Having some behind illusory walls and off ledges is a little unfair. Other than that, even though I have raged plenty, I am still having fun with the game so far. Sen's Fortress really pushed me to the edge but I pressed on and am on the verge of completing it now.
 
Death by Havel twice and I had enough. Didn't have enough time to do it properly. Whittled him down to about half in one of the rooms of the tower before I couldn't avoid a death shot. Sigh, grinding tomorrow night.

Just go naked and two hand a weapon.
 
[quote name='guardian_owl']Without my armor on I look like an anorexic swamp thing because I made my guy's skin color a very pale blue.

I was having trouble with him so eventually I just cheesed him by luring him to the exit at the top of the tower, standing on the staircase 3 or 4 steps down, wait for him to pop out and prepare to swing then roll backward down the stairs to avoid his swing, run back up, hit once then back off. He'll walk back into the tower so you can repeat the process.

Depending what your stats are you will get one hit killed even if blocking with a shield. Just make sure not to use R2 when two-handed or you risk using that attack which quickly degrades your weapon by 30 durability per swing.[/QUOTE]

Hey, if it hurts him bad enough it might be worth it to use the special attack. Just remember to repair the sword after the battle. I can't even get to Havel since I didn't take the master key. So stupid of me.

I didn't set out to do it this way, but I sort of cheesed the black knight at the top of the tower near the Hellkite dragon. I was fighting him and rolled to dodge and ended up on the stairs. He started to follow, so I just kept backing down the stairs and casting Fireball until he was dead. Of course, it's the 3rd black knight I've killed, and so far ZERO loot drops (other than the titanite).

It really trivializes losing souls so there's no pressure. I'm satisfied with my playthrough, even though I farmed to SL100 over the course of it. I would say maybe stop at 75 if you are going to exploit, because some boss fights are still very challenging later on at that level. I might go back for a pure run on a new PvP character, but right now the focus is to just try and plat this before BF3. Also, I wouldn't bother trying to cap level until you have a brave hero soul that gives 20k a tick anyway. Otherwise be prepared to clamp your controller for a couple hours since I thought 2 billion souls would be enough last night and it only got me to 405 from 100 heh.

But why would anyone play in human form unless they were specifically trying to summon an ally for help with a boss or something? Maybe I'm just missing something, but it seems like there's no reason to not be hollow. You can still have humanity to help with loot drops while hollow. Demon's Souls had some differences between soul and human form, but it seems like Dark Souls did away with that.

Sadly no Black Knight drops for me either. Are there any places later in the game that they actually respawn like other enemies?

Nope, all of them are one and done. The two rarest items in the game are the axe and spear they can drop since only two of each can drop one per playthrough. If I don't get them in my NG+, then the plat can go to hell.

Also, in case anyone was wondering: shields count as weapons for the trophy, so you have to kill Sif three times to get everything. Considering you must beat the game at least twice for ending trophies, that's not really a problem.
