@r_hjortWhat are you talking about? ------ I finally got past that big gate near the blacksmith and that onion looking knight. I hit the blacksmith just before going to the new area where I feel I pretty much need a bunch of arrows/bolts to beat it comfortably. The fucking guy SELLS ARROWS. So now if I want arrows (which I currently need cuz I'm low as hell) I have to backtrack like crazy to find someone who sells. I had to attack him now, when I need him most. Just perfect. He's like 2 rooms away from the new area. Just to remind you; the area beyond the gate has those sharp pendulum things, pits, and that new snake man enemy. Some of them wait beyond the pendulums and arrows/bolts are perfect for them. But nooooooooo, I had to attack the fucking blacksmith. |

@carlosroxHahaha, I didn't want to give any specifics, 'cause they're kind of spoilery. I'm talking about a few things, but for example the two ugly snake-ish monsters, one of which hangs around Firelink. There's one that just won't come out if you speak to the other one first, effectively locking you out of certain content. Ah, I know where you are now. Then you're unfortunately kind of far away from either of the two places I was going to suggest for soul farming. I ran back and forth between the fortress and the bonfire, killing the two snake dudes over and over again when I first got there. It was tedious, but fairly easy souls to earn at that point, especially when I managed to lure one of the enemies into the arrows from the trap. But if you're high enough a level they'll obviously only net you peanuts. My other alternative back there was to run through the Undead Burg and just killing everything in my path, which was more fun and gave more souls, but was a much lengthier trip obviously. |

@ZeroThat key probably leads to The Depths. You got it by beating the Capra Demon, right? You can find the door in Lower Undead Burg. @carlosroxYou're better off being able to dodging hits than tanking them. Or at least getting a really good shield. Dodging is waaay more fun and rewarding though. Relying on shielding a lot would be like if Little Mac used a shield in Punch Out. Kind of lets you ignore the enemy design. There's a ring that increases your equip load, but maybe you'd rather find it naturally (or have found it and still hit the weight limit?). If you want, I can point you in the direction of the ring in addition to some optional areas you may have missed (which would also be a good way to get souls without grinding.) @r_hjortI'm totally cool with Kaathe being a secret. But I guess it depends on how you frame it. I see his storyline as a reward for exploring different boss orders, so it ends up being this really cool prize for players who get creative. Or at the very least a fun option to explore for players who look it up after beating the game. But if you see it as an equally valid alternative for first time players, I can see how it would be frustrating. |

@carlosrox@Hero_Of_HyruleI started out as a knight, changed my mind and wore light armor for most of the game, dodging and dashing my way out of trouble, but whenever things got hairy I went back to tanking. I beat a lot of the bosses in the game by just taking their punishment and whaling on them with my biggest sword, having myself a bit of a drink every now and then. Artorias, Manus, Gwyn, Nito, Four Kings. EDIT: The fates of certain NPCs are handled with the same hidden mechanics as Kaathe, though. Solaire's and Siegmeyer's especially. It's hard for the player to change their ways on second and third runs when they don't even get to know what they did or didn't do for things to end up the way they do. |

@Hero_Of_HyruleYeah, I'm sure it would have been more rewarding and more along the lines of what the devs intended if I hadn't tanked, but I'll use whatever's at my disposal as long as it works, 'cause that's kind of how the game tells you to do business in general. Also, yes, fuck the Anor Londo archers. There are only, like, two instances where I feel that the game is cheap or employs artificial difficulty, and that's one of them. @ZeroDude, poison arrows are amazing! They saved my hide a ton of times. Never tried any magic at all, but I think that's what I'm gonna go with next time, if I decide to NG+. |
