Dark Soul's: Prepare to Die Edition (PC)
- Thread starter Omaeka
- Start date
Getting impatient for DS2 now...just started again!
I was going to continue with my level 120 character that is half way through NG+ in Duke's Archive, but I am just going to start again. I know most people love it, but I am really not a fan of NG+ in DS, as part of the fun of the game is risking everything to get to the item that you can see in the distance, but in NG+ you already have most of them, and know already if it is worth getting them.

This is the same as me, I love getting all the loot possible.
There is one item I have left behind, it's in Blighttown, if you come in via the entrance from the depths, you pass the big dudes and just as all the bamboo structures start, there is a jump across to a platform where a body lies. I tried twice and died twice. Really is annoying me that it's still there.
As for plans tonight, I will continue farming the 3 guys in the forest but I can see me getting bored fast. I will spend the souls on upgrading my Falchion from +5 to +10 then change it into Queelags furysword or what ever it's called. Then I will hopefully have some humanity by then and tackle the boss, if not. Just let my self be summoned and help others until I have the tactics down to a T.
The big giants before hand are far from tough now, I can down them without breaking a sweat I've killed them so many times. So when I have some humanity and I'm able to summon solaire, it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Where can I find it mate?
I'm back at darkroot garden farming souls now. Pretty relaxed but not getting many souls very quickly
Its actually in darkroot, past the sealed door, if you go through the door turn right and hug the right wall and its on the ground once you get to the cliff part. Its surrounded by several tree guys.
Also if you want to farm some hard humanities, the depths is the place to go, rats drop them pretty commonly if you have the gold serpant ring from sens fortress and a few soft humanity.

Turn eight? So turn slightly left? lol.
Not familiar with that term. I've plucked most of the garden already, apart from the look surrounded by mobs.
Thanks
Just started again recently last time I got to catacombs but started again
Last route I took was Taurus Demon >Gargoyles > Capra Demon >Gaping Demon >Fire boobs girl>Sens Fortress > Anor Londo> Catacombs (killed some boss then got to tomb of Giants where it was all dark and couldn't see crap, then I got reset back to early Catacombs for some reason, or I think so anyways)
Should I be taking a different route?

Heh, edited my post, should have been right.
I usually go butterfly after gargoyles as darkroot has some good stuff. Then Anor Londo > Asylum/Painted World > Catacombs > New Londo > Duke Archive > Demon Ruins/Lost Izalith > Giants. I usually throw Ash Lake in somewhere after duke archives.
I always leave Giants till last as its annoying and you get the sun hat in Lost Izalith which makes it a lot easier. Catacombs is good to do early ish for the Right of Kindling from Pinwheel which makes all the Lord areas less stressful.

Ah, watched a youtube vid on it, I see, I'm not far from there, will take me 5 mins to get that. Thanks for the tip 
Also, the set looks AWESOME! I will have progressed from a Ninja to a Japanese warrior
Before I head back to Anor Londo to defeat the ***** O&S. Should I pop back to Undead Asylum to get the ring and doll to do the painted world? Last time I went back, I fell through the floor and got killed by the fat boss from the start

You can, the ring is only useful in a few places (Blighttown/Sens basement) and Painted World can be an absolute ball ache if you aren't prepared for it as once you enter you cant leave till you pass the boss. Its one of the more annoying areas in the game and the enemies are pretty strong.
Alright cheers, I'm gonna guess butterfly is in that grassy area which I never really explored bar getting the grass shield thing, so guess I'll head there after gaping demon.
Just leg it to Pinwheel as soon as you get to firelink shrine for the first time and use Leeroy to kill him for you. You have to reverse hollowing and it's pretty tricky to do but when you know the route it makes it much easier. That way you get the Rite of Kindling roughly 15 mins after starting a new game.
Honestly I don't think its worth the hassle, there is really no need to get the RoK before Sens because Bonfires are so common.
O&S is the first time in the game I would want more than 10 flasks. I never needed more before then. And I can't see it being a huge requirement after. So I won't bother with it.
Got to the first bell without dying...my best yet! Well, that isn't strictly true, I was killed once in Undead Burg by an invader...wearing Smough's armour, and using a (looked like) Black Knight's Sword
Offline from now on.
I also managed to kill the Taurus Demon without Lunging off of the tower, which I am happy with(I am rubbish at this btw!)

It's better to defeat O&S before going else where. Once you get the lordvessel the ability to warp between bonfires is such a time saver!
If I die a few more times from them, I'm going to cry... I'm already rested at the bonfire by the gardens, so I will get the armour, farm until I can turn my Falchion into the furysword and then battle them. It's a 3 minute journey back to Anor Londo bonfire in the building or below the rotating bridge.
But yea, I can imagine it will speed things up drastically.
