    Just about, the first time I did it I was just after starting the fight and the connection dropped so it booted me back to the start screen, thats been the problem all week. Gave it another shot and it lasted long enough to get the fight finished, had Solaire and another player so it was simple enough

    Any suggestions on where to go next? The big snake thing in Firelink Shrine gave me a list of bosses I have to kill now but think I'll try the painting in Anor Londo first

    Just saw that painting myself and was tempted to see what that dolly I got ages ago was for, decided against it as i don't think you can get back too easily.

    Is it worth spending time being summoned in Ardo Londo?

    Painted world is a one way trip, but its probably the best 'level' in the game.

    Had another go at Stray Demon last night. It went slightly better than last time but his magic fart gas is killing me. I have the Wolf ring equipped for poise and the Crest shield and my Katana plus 14 which is doing good damage but every time he does the fart thing he knocks me on my ass.
    I probably need to upgrade the shield. Is there anything i can put on the sword that will help?

    Just beat him on my first attempt totally unprepared! Was walking along with only half my health and dropped into the hole but my +10 Iaito made short work of him, get three hits off every time and it takes a big chunk of his health off then just roll back

    Isn't the Demons fart Fire Based? I always thought it was and used to head into the fight with the fire ring (the red one) and the dragon shield. Could be wrong but if it is fire based the Crest Shield is a bad choice :)

    I could be wrong.

    Fart is definitely magic based. I'd murder a Jalfrezi right now though.

    Egg, Onion and Broccoli Curry then take on the Stray Demon 6 hours later to make the game more immersive!

    awesome. explains why its been such a pain in the arse even at high levels for me :D
    If you stay to the left (his left) and behind him, you can see and dodge every attack he has. By fighting him there he tends to only butt slam and do that ground pound attack. Good to know its magic based.

    Seriously Harps

    First you're like " Oh the two archers shooting down on you in Anor Londo"?
    "Yeah i breezed past them"

    And then you're like

    "Stray Demon?"
    "Pfffft....... Barely even noticed he was there"

    I'm beginning not to like you;)

    Ha I know how he feels, literally just got past those 2 archers myself after who knows how many times, and in the end it was a breeze for me too. Thats why I was looking for help earlier too.

    Kept being invaded wasted all my humanity, in the end it was as simple as being aggressive and running right up and getting in the race of the one on the right so he fell to his doom !!!!! :)

    Currently sat toasting marshmallows at the conveniently located fire :pac:

    And yet I spent a full week stuck on Lautrec, strange how the game works!

    My strategy was simply run in and hit him three times for a critical hit then retreat and wait for his magic gas thing, then run back in and repeat. When I was right next to him he couldn't hit me with his hammer so all I had to do was quickly retreat every time he went for the gas attack

    The painted world seems easy enough so far, the toxic things and the spinning skeletons were annoying but all that cleared now so I'm about to face the dragon on the bridge

    Well lucky for you I have no arrows and no spells so its proving more difficult that it should be. Weather was too good to be stuck inside today so I only gave it a few quick tries but didn't even come close to beating him yet

    Edit: Actually, just beat him on my first attempt tonight, simple :pac:

    He doesn't drop anything and you don't need to kill him so I wouldn't bother with him if you're finishing it that difficult. If its a point of pride come back after you're stronger. Sometimes you just cannot beat a boss at certain levels, you're shield needs to be able to block, take more than one hit etc..
