Nice one

Now you have the LordVesel, no more running between bonfires!

Nice one!

Beating O&S for the first time. One of the best feelings in gaming

Amazing chest ahead, Try holding with both hands, etc, etc.

Have to say I was thoroughly disapointed with what "dark souls gywnevere cosplay" came back with on google images

Gotta admit it was the hardest boss yet but really did feel fantastic. Got the firekeeper back at fire link shrine and gave frampt the lordvessel. Now it's time to clear out the new areas.

Tbh, I found the Lautrec invasion before O&S harder than the bosses themselves!

That is a pretty solid fight!

Indeed, Lautrec was hard, finally killed him by running away for ages and eventually the AI got split up

Is that the one where to get the firekeeper soul back? I didn't find that one hard I just ran in and started swinging

Third time lucky.

3rd time? Da hell??!?! Took me about 50, but I didnt use an AI or partners..
The view for beating them though is something else ..

Also can I ask how on earth people figured some of this stuff out? For example skeletons can only be killed with divine weapons , at no point in my game did it ever mention that and I had to read the wiki to kill the 3 skele's at the start of Nito else I would have never of killed him. Sometimes I do wish they would state things a little better especially when it comes to items and how each of the characters connect with each other because it is an awesome world.

I had the knight guy as you can see. Pure luck though I got the smaller guy done really quickly with no real damage taken and just took my time with fatty.

I never knew that's how you killed skeletons...

You killed them in the wrong order and have now missed out on the best looking armor in the game.

aceytrixx · 6 May 2014 at 11:03

Which armour is that?

Grandmaster Fap! · 6 May 2014 at 11:09

Ornstein's armour, it looks badass but i think there are better for the weight, i like Paladin or Brass armours.

aceytrixx · 6 May 2014 at 11:20

I currently have Havels chest and the rest is either elite knight or silver knight can't remember which. Keeps me under 50% and is about the best protection I can have currently I think.

Grandmaster Fap! · 6 May 2014 at 11:24

I would always go with Hard leather with Gargoyle helm and upgrade the hell out of them so i'd be light weight but have decent protection. Only time i'd do Havels is to get massive poise in the Four Kings fight.

Pighardia · 6 May 2014 at 11:25

I usually only use Havel's boots or whatever they are called, as they give plenty of poise on their own, and look cool with pretty much anything. Elite Knight set is pretty great.

Iirc, my main go to armour is Havel's boots, Elit Knight chest, Gold-hemmed hood and gloves.

aceytrixx · 6 May 2014 at 11:46

How much poise should I really be aiming for?

Grandmaster Fap! · 6 May 2014 at 11:54

If you intend to toe2toe with all enemies then anything around 40 and up is enough in my experience.

40 is fine. I always use the wolf ring and light armour.

aceytrixx · 6 May 2014 at 12:22

Oh ok. I have the wolf ring and all that armour on. Might try going back to lighter stuff to get a quicker roll.
