Yeah the Green Fog wall is there, on the ledge Leroy invades on.

Stupid Silver Knights making me stupid rage quit.... Stupid stupid..... Bastards

Just roll towards the one to the right as you guy up the ramp, and listen for the arrow shot noise from the one behind you, if you time it right you'll roll through the arrow, if he takes out his sword just run back down the ramp and he'll leg after you, head back to where the gargoyles are and there's more space to fight.

Or he'll just fall of the ledge, whichever works :pac:

Not on PS but remember that one being a pain in you know whats, think it was possibly the last item I needed for knights honour. If I remember I farmed it in Dukes archive. Make sure sure you have the rings , humanity etc. for max item discovery.

Ok, where to next? I've upgraded my zweihander to divine so I can deal with skeletons in the catacombs, but should I be going somewhere else first?

Where have you been so far? if you've beaten O&S then yeah head to the catacombs just to get it out of the way, it's a pain in the balls of an area and the place after it is worse. you can actually get through it super fast though there's a really easy way to get to the boss within a few minutes of getting to the catacombs.

I hope that wasn't your main weapon, it will lose a lot of its STR scaling. I think Divine scales with Faith.

Yeah he'd be better to change it back to a regular Zwei once he's through the catacombs, I only ever used low grade weapons for divine usage, its the only area of the game you need them and once you kill the necromancers that's half the battle anyway. I only ever played the catacombs properly once, ran through it the rest of the times, fcuk that place. Just use the shortcut and get pinwheel out of the way, I used to go there really early.

Cravez · 21-07-2014 9:03am

To go through the Catacombs I mainly just get rid of the Necromancers and then kill the skeletons. Alternatively, downgrade the Occult club found with Havels gear in Anor Londo and it downgrades automatically to Divine. That would be enough to kill skeletons in Catacombs

Stone Deaf 4evr · 21-07-2014 9:16am

Just a quick update / brief

I've Anor Londo done, including the painted world or ariamis and I've gone back to the undead asylum to fight the stray demon & also defeated Sif.
As far as I can see, whats available to me at the moment is

The Dukes archives - seems tough, the catacombs - havent tried it with a divine weapon yet, There was a place below the lair of queelag that I didnt explore and theres also the new londo ruins. I've placed the lordvessel on the altar and frampt told me about the boss souls that need to be collected.

The zweihander was probably the best weapon I had in my bottomless box, I've not used it much though, and just picked it as the one I'm going to use to turn divine. My main weapon is the Black Knight halberd+5.

Mickeroo · 21-07-2014 9:21am

You can pretty much go to any of those places now so. There's no real order you need to do them in.

There is a certain item in the lava type areas under queelag that is a great help in the area after the catacombs though if you have no spells that cast light.

Thats where I'll head so. I've almost zero spellcasting ability beyond the basic pyromancy flame and have only 1 attunement slot.

Also - is the true greatsword of astorias worth making? my intelligence and faith are both at 9. I need to get them to 20 to be able to wield it. I'm thinking its a very steep investment.

calex71 · 21-07-2014 9:35am

If you care and it could possibly help later it's worth spoiling things a little and doing some reading now regarding Solaire

Yup an it also ties in with that item you could do with.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 21-07-2014 10:02am

Ok, looks like I need my poison wellies +1, its back through blighttown I go, at least this time I can go the shorter route through valley of the drakes.

Ah my bad, you might want to check the wikis, there's a hidden bonfire near where you fought Queelag and I'm nearly certain you can warp to it. Try hitting a few walls.

now that you mention it, when I defeated queelag, there was a message left on the ground saying "try attacking". I disregarded it as there were a few of thos egg sacs around and I'd already been advised not to hit them.

a lot of the messages in the game are trolls too - "try jumping" near cliffs being a pretty common one. :pac:

Yeah it's a sickener as you can never be sure which are trolls and which will lead to an actual secret.

a bit of research online and you see that the garden is very useful !! :pac:

Stone Deaf 4evr · 21-07-2014 11:32pm

Ok, gone back down through blighttown, loving that I can now kill the enemies here with ease. I've made my way into queelags lair and found the bonfire.

so I've gone on further and defeated ceaseless discharge, and cleared the lava field of Taurus demons, looks like capra demons are up next.

The capras are pretty easy! You can draw them one at a time if you want, but killing 2 or 3 at once isn't difficult

Cravez · 22-07-2014 8:05am

You'll also have to defeat two more bosses before reaching Lost Izalith (where you need to get one of the Lord Souls), fun times ahead!

If you don't want to fight them you'll have to sacrifice a good chunk of humanity to Quelaag's Sister. I won't spoil why.

Gone back to DS for my first ever sorcerer playthrough. Fun so far, at about lvl 30 and using heavy great soul arrows and a magic battle axe +5. Does dex increase casting speed? I have int up to about 25 at the moment but casting takes it's time and I have to switch out to melee alot when fighting.

Man I love this game though. A few hours in with some grinding to get the gear I want and Sens is up next!!! First time I'll get to make use of Big Hat:D

i'm not sure about the quicker casting times. Intelligence is a fairly easy way to pass the game IMO. Follow Big Hats story through to get the most powerful staff for casting. Also go for seaths tail for the weapon he drops. you could do this first after anor londo

If I remember correctly casting speed maxes at 45 Dex, but I might be wrong

You are correct but unless you are already using a DEX reliant weapon then it's a waste of stat points as the increase in casting speed isn't worth the investment.
