Dark Souls

OOOOhh this could be exciting!

Well that evidence seems pretty damn decisive to me.

Ah crap, I was hoping for more Dark Souls but I will be glad you lot get to play it.

PVP wouldn't work on its own.

The DS PVP isn't that good in terms of actual playability, its more the element of surprise and the different ways someone can invade.

True, true. A dedicated server with an arena would sell though. Loads of hardcore PVP nuts out there.

I like the idea of an infinity tower with random enemies each level and an online ranking. Could work.

I just have nightmares about circling an opponent for 10 minutes and the ****er still managing to get a laggy backstab.

Just run like a mofo basically, don;t bother trying to block, ledge is too narrow.

That worked alright cheers:) Now I'm getting my ass kicked by Smough and Ornstein. I can take down one of them. It's just that I end up getting a fit of nerves whilst taking down the other and I always end up doing something stupid and dying. I believe the Humanity is very few and far between,I have taken down every boss so far as a hollow.

Anyone notice a glitch in Anor Londo in which u can't loot some treasure chests? I've opened about three chests but the game wont let me take what's in them. It's like the button doesn't respond.

If you're short on Humanity, why not go about getting summoned elsewhere. Good way to get a lot of souls and humanity. If your in Anor Londo now, you'd probably be a suitable level to get summoned for Iron Golem in Sen's Fortress easily

I'm playing it offline so unfortunately I'm on my own:( I'll beat Smough and Ornstein eventually though. I just have to keep my nerve and I'll try put some time into improving my Pyromancy magic.

YAY! I beat the two feckers!! I'm literally shaking with adrenaline:D:D

Best battle in the game for me.

I suggest you get your body back and place your summon sign outside that room - its an excellent place to be summoned and there no boss fight I would rather help people out with.

Well done on taking them down. By far the toughest boss fight in the game in my opinion. I don't think anybody does them first time. Everyone I talked to died a half dozen times before it clicked for them.

Is there a way to invade other worlds apart from the cracked red orbs? Or is there anywhere to farm for them?

Also, I invaded a world once, fought someone, think I lost and went on my way. About 5 minutes later I was pulled back into their world without using any items to fight again. This just a weird glitch?

At least half a dozen ways.

There are red eye orbs (that aren't cracked) which allow you to invade permanently.

Theres a number of different ways depending on your clan.

I'm playing offline but I'll definately do that once I've my connection up and running:) Two players sharing the burden would make that fight a hell of a lot easier. My character is a jacked up knight with Havel's armor, a crystal shield, a big Dragon's Tooth club and some nice pyromancy magic so I pretty sure I'd be of some service. That weird glitch where I couldn't pick up any items from chests in Anor Londo seemed to have sorted itself after I beat Ornstein and Smough

Beaten the 2nd Asylum Demon (what a bitch he was) and gotten the Peculiar Doll so it's off to the Painted World next:cool:.

Thats my favourite area of the game - enjoy!

i find that the Lifehunt Scythe is great for defeating the 2 asylum demon. i died a good few times on my second playthrough trying to kill him until i used that weapon. a few slaps of it and half his energy is gone !!

There's an even nastier variant of him on the way don't worry!

Oh Joy! Another Demon:(

Just beat Priscilla and finished the Painted World now. Took out the Armored pigs before the Duke's Archives which I'll do next. The Dragonslayer bow & arrows and the Electrified Demon spear were handy tools taking those pigs down:)

I'd love to know, what character classes y'all are using and what's yer fave weapons/magic?

A pox on those invisible pathways in the Crystal Cave:mad:

Youtube man!

Started this again, forgot how brilliant it is, and so much easier on the second run through!

I thought New Game plus was meant to be harder.

The increase in the damage power of the enemies doesn't really compensate for your increased skill and knowledge of the world.

If you shoot some arrows at the ground the will 'stick' into the invisible pathways. While you are walking keep leaving messages so you can retrace your way.

It's easier than that. There are snow flakes/particles that fall. They stick to the floor in midair so you can see where the invisible paths are. It's subtle but it's there.

So you have been reading up on the lore of dark souls? Alot of people say that the game has no story but i call bull**** on that. The way the lore of the world is told to you is at face value, as your character discovers stuff. Its not just laid out on a platter as in other games, some that even have full codex menus regarding the lore of the game for you browse through. I think that makes discovering and putting all the pieces together makes Dark Souls so much more rewarding.

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say that i think Dark Souls is my favourite game of all time. I seriously cant think of any other game that has an impact on me like this game did. Maybe Final Fantasy 7, but i think that's just nostalgia speaking.

If your a big fan of Dark Souls and the world in which it takes place check out the youtuber EpicNameBro. He has some interesting Dark Souls videos, but most of all his lore videos are amazing. He pieces together all the parts and explains nearly every place, NPC, spell and other object in the game. Fantastic series of videos.

Word is another Souls game is currently in the works. If its gonna be a sequel to Dark Souls, or set in another universe is unknown, but i know one thing. Im ready to die

Happy for the PC owners. That Facebook wall still isn't broken down yet so I am still holding out hope that theres something more than the PC annoucement coming.

The Lore is excellent it has to be said and I love the way it's handled. It's there if you dig and look for it but easily bypassed for everyone else.

I particularly like the Bed of Chaos / Witch of Izalith and her daughters story it's what really got me sucked in and interested in learning everything I could about the game.
