Now I dislike that Blightown with a passion! Poison poison covered in poison with small dickheads spitting poison arrows from somewhere very dark! I am already at 9k souls and keep doing on that part. This last run I cleared everything and had only 1 pot left, so I just went back in to reset. Those bastords do give 500 souls, but it is annoying to kill them!

Any poison resist pots in game which I can swallow before fights to get my poison resist higher?
The blow dart guys dont repawn when you die btw. So suicide run them if you get hit.

The above post is absolutely spot on about those guys not respawning, so go a few suicide runs and make killing them your top priority. I would add that you should probably put the black leather armour back on as it has a higher poison resistance and might (hopefully) let you survive that bit longer. If you're really stuck, you could make a slightly annoying trek back to Darkroot Garden and farm Blooming Purple Moss from the treant enemies there.

Oh, finally, don't run around without your shield up around those blow dart guys. I speak from painful, painful experience. Try to use your shield to help you close distance before you inevitably get toxic (which is more or less being doomed to die if you don't have Blooming Purple Moss).

Some armour pieces have much higher poison resistance than others, which increases the size of the poison bar, taking it longer to fill up. In blighttown somewhere, i'm not sure where, there is a set of armour called Shadow Armour, which has extremely high poison resistance.

Found it. Will check it out.

Okay, just to clear up - I hate blightown zone with a passion. So far worse part ever. I really loved everything up untill dn sewers and then this...
It's hard to navigate, hard to see, annoying poison enemies. I can just imagine how much fun boss of this place.
I think I found where is he. After killing some sort of weird plug like monster I can get to some spot with white light. There was a good luck mark too, so I bet it is it.

Oh yeah, got killed like little butch today by phantom here . I used my trusty weapon and I did 40 damage max to him!!! Then he put on some sort of scytle shaped on handed weapon with electricity and just killed me with few hits. Looks like he could ignore my 100% shield with if. Wrf was it?!

He was someone who went and cleared the game, but without leveling much, so he can come back to areas with low level people, but with end game equipment, it's extremely noobish and annoying.

His weapon is call a Shotel, it's R2 attack bypasses any shield, and you were getting hit with electricity as later on you can make weapons Lightning with a certain blacksmith, which makes half their damage electric, like having a permanent Lightning Pine Resin applied to a weapon.

Yes and no, upgrading a weapon with Lightning removes all stat bonuses, so if you were a dex build and made a Lightning Iaito you'd end up with a worse weapon all around. I don't think Pine Resin removes any stat bonuses. So +15 Iaito with Pine Resin will do more damage than +5 Lightning Iaito

To be fair, he was swapimg between some long axe yoke and that scytle. He owned me so fast, that I had no chance to look at it. The other thing: why I couldn't even touch him?! I presume he was in heavy armor, but I got that long rapier type weapon which is for such sort of targets.

I am pure pc head and I still got it for ps3 m8 . I could wait, but **** that, 17eu for ps3 version was just way to tempting. I would even say: it's worth buying ps3 for it. I always say controler is shiet, but dark souls has the best controller setup ever, it flipping works . Even such controller noob like me can pull off some awesome stuff!

A lot of the time in PVP hits just don't register, so it could look like your about to hit them, and suddenly you're being backstabbed, the online isn't the best in Dark Souls. The only thing for him to gain is Humanity, and a meager amount of souls.

Blightown can go and **** itself.

This zone alone makes me want to quit this game. Not because it's hard, but because it's cheap. Frame rate is all over the place, Agro of monsters is all over the place. The bonfire between each other are ****ing idiocy. Got all the way down to and tried to go somewhere... All poisoned up with those little shirts flying around. Lightning area is so poor that you barely can see what's in from of you. I am not even talking about big assholes with stones.
Got all the way to some sort of ladder and wheel lift thing. There was message of bonfire near by, but nothing there. So went up and got arse ****ed by 3 spitting poison assholes. Nice one...
