Yep the first boss is behind that door/gate
Pretty sure the Thief will be fine, but I'd expect he/she is better at ranged attack. Make sure you have Thief's ring now as I'm sure that will be a great help with your class.

Ive only got 3 rings, herculean str, the 1 that gives xtra health when in soul mode and the gnash ring? increases bleed resistance.
Quick question if you die and head back to ur blood mark to reclaim all those souls and you die again do u loose the 1st death souls? as i had over 6k souls when i met the tower knight and died and have died trying to get back to him ( several times)
Also how do i talk to the statue in the nexus, blind girl says i need to talk to it.

It's located in 1-1, after you've gone through the fog by the first blue knight (read the messages for a hint on where to go)
Yep there lost, you have to reach your souls on the first attempt.
You talk to the monumental not the statue, he is located near the top of the nexus.
Before I give up out of frustration does anyone have any tips for 3-3 - getting past the black phantom version of the octopus-headed things on the stairs. I have to sit through a cutscene of some zombie summoning a black phantom each time but as soon as I see one of the octo-gits they paralyse me then use their wall/wave attack twice and I'm dead and I have to sit through that cutscene again. I am almostnat the point of giving up as this part just seems cheap rather than hard

Yes this game can be frustrating, i was stuck very early on and trying to push on. But I am stuck against the armored spider don't have any range attacks. Any ideas.
I think it is a good game, just need to think more instead of rushing in and getting wacked.

Range attack him, run and then repeat he will go down especially if you have powerful magic. Alternatively rush him and spam him with melee but I would suggest equiping the thief & graverobbers rings so he doesn't detect you until your ontop of him.
A decent defensive magic sheild is advisable like the Rune sheild so you can block his magic.
The Old Monk awaits and if you face another player instead of the NPC prepare for the fight of your life

Im on that bit as well, i got him down to about a 3rd of his health left by tumbling/dodging those fire attacks and blocking the pincer attacks when i was close, i just missed 1 block on the pincer attack and was knocked flying didnt 'recover' in time to dodge his fire attack or heal so died.
Yep that armoured spider is a booga, kinda got the pattern down now, just need to stop making the one mistake that usually gets me killed.... whether it be not running away in time when he does his big fire attack or just generally not dodging or blocking or standing in the wrong place 
Had a go at all the other levels but am already finding levelling requires more than 2,500 souls per stat which is proving more and more difficult to walk away with alive

Just did the spider on my 2nd go, lucky i found that fire resis ring, spaceh if u have them u can consume the soldiers/heros souls for souls, just dont consume ur boss souls as they are used for forging weapons later on i think.

Just did part 1 again for health items, cleared it up to where the tower knight was and got over 8k souls, even did the red faced knight that was guarding the mausoleum?, used a +4 winged spear with the magic weapon spell, totally demolished him as apposed to when i tried with my +3 dragon sword.
Now i can head back into 2 and kill those bloody bugbears and try and find the other boss there.

Try when each upgrade costs 35,000 then
Gave Lee a hand today, now he's progressing nicely with some great armour

Cheers edz for the help, now understanding the game better. I am now looking forward to the next boss. Need to level-up in some areas of my character, so will run through some of the older levels.
did you get the treausre near the dragons at 1-1 ? I went back through 1-1 and was lucky enough that the dragons werent there so got some nice stuff including a purple flame shield. Went through 1-2 np till i got to the tower knight. I'm a knight so im mostly meleeing with a +2 ******* sword and the only range attacks i have are a light crossbow and the flamethrower magic fire attack but only have enough mana for smt like 6 shots of that.
Dont mind dying too much now. As i try to keep souls in items so i dont lose em. Red eyes in 1-1 really annoyed me on my first character as an adventurer.
Where'd you get the +3 dragon sword? I guess in the other worlds?
Enemy AI in some cases could be a bit better. They will happily walk over ledges to their deaths to get to you.
Wheres this armored spider? in 2-1 ?
Make the most of it, later on you'll be the one falling off mostly due to the dodgy camera
I'm enjoying this game less and less now, real shame as I was having a good time but the novelty of being killed in 1-2 hits by an enemy that the game refuses to let me target has worn off. I love a challenge but in the later levels I feel like I am fighting the camera and dodgy level design more than the enemies.
I'll have another go tomorrow but I think I might just have to move on to something more fun!

I got the dragon sword from part 2-2 i think, iwas +1 but i had a few dragonstones so i upgraded it from the blacksmith in part 2-1, its a good weapon as it has fire magic on it, so deals more dmg to those who are resistant to normal weapons, like those bloody bugbears, also incase you didnt know you will need a piercing weapon for most of 2, which is were the winged spear i got from 1 was good.
Dragon stones? But yeah i got the winged spear as well. Didnt upgrade it though. Got past the fog and the annoying fat dudes on 2-1 and there was these sort of salamander creatures? And about 4 msgs in front of fog saying harsh etc etc. I had 4k on me so didnt fancy losing it. One of the creatures fell down when i was leaving and i stabbed it with the spear and it didnt seem to do any damage at all. I ran away to spend my money!
im lvl 16 now so im tempted to have a go at red eyes in 1-1 could just use magic and bow fae a distance. Need to get exp to put 1 point into strength so i can use the purple flame shield

Think im lvl 28, if you can get the spear up a few lvls, the added reach is handy espically with those salamanders, takes me 2 hits to kill them now so they are dead before they can reach me, i agree the fat caster is a pain, his fire magic drains my health pretty low so i usually end up just running at him, hit with R2 then 3 hits of R1 to finish him off before he can cast again.
It may be good if u can get the water veil spell as well, if you dont have the fire resis ring.
Edit: I was going to use a bow for the game but at 20 souls for 1 arrow, i quickly decided against it

did a quick run through up to before tower knight again to get exp.
i noticed theres a couple of doors in 1-1 that dont open yet there are paths to them. Wonder what they are all about? Dont mean the one behind red-eye (who btw gives out approx 2K in exp
)
